Gen Ed /
No full text"Gen Ed locates serious discussion of general education in the context of some of the day-to-day realities encountered in putting it into practice and promoting efforts at reform at Metropolitan Atlantic University (aka the Metro). This dual focus is found in the often-pugnacious policy debate among the faculty and a more light-hearted discussion of related questions carried on by Professor Kelly as he models Socratic teaching in his upper-level class for prospective teachers. Reforming general education at the Metro is not free of the vanities and vulgarities of ambitious men and women and self-serving politicians, of course, nor those who poke fun at them. Arnie Smatter, the irrepressible and nosey chat show host of Radio YOY ensures that this does not go unnoticed. The overall humorous tone of Gen Ed does not detract from Mulcahy's thoughtful treatment of substantive issues that will be of interest to serious scholars, students, and a general readership. It is the behaviour of those involved, the broader media and political contexts in which events take place, which mainly becomes the object of humorous treatment"--Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface -- Acknowledgements -- Chapter 1 -- Chapter 2 -- Chapter 3 -- Chapter 4 -- Chapter 5 -- Chapter 6 -- Chapter 7 -- Chapter 8 -- Chapter 9 -- Chapter 10 -- Chapter 11 -- Chapter 12 -- Chapter 13 -- Chapter 14 -- Chapter 15 -- Chapter 16 -- Chapter 17 -- Chapter 18 -- Chapter 19 -- Chapter 20 -- Appendix: Questions for Discussion, Suggested Topics for Term Papers and Research Projects -- References -- About the Author."Gen Ed locates serious discussion of general education in the context of some of the day-to-day realities encountered in putting it into practice and promoting efforts at reform at Metropolitan Atlantic University (aka the Metro).

Anne Finch Conway (1631-1679)
No full textPienamente inserita all’interno del ricco panorama culturale del Seicento inglese, Anne Conway (nata Finch) è una delle figure chiave all’interno della transizione dal neoplatonismo rinascimentale all’idealismo settecentesco. All’interno di questo percorso intellettuale si situa un netto rifiuto delle due correnti filosofiche prevalenti nel suo ambiente, vale a dire il dualismo di matrice cartesiana e il materialismo di Hobbes. Per contro, la filosofia di Conway opera un sincretismo originale e unico tra fonti diverse, incluse tradizioni di natura religiosa quali la Kabbalah ebraica e la spiritualità quacchera, per proporre una critica radicale al monismo panteista e al materialismo meccanicistico. La sua difesa dell’alterità divina, della semplicità mereologica di Dio e dell’incompatibilità di questa semplicità con l’eventuale materialità di Dio o la sua mutabilità si cristallizzano nell’elaborazione filosofica della monade come principio attivo. Per contro, Conway elabora invece un pensiero che vede nella comune radice spiritualista l’unica difesa possibile del monismo, e nella purificazione attraverso la sofferenza l’orizzonte essenziale della morale e della teleologia. Dal punto di vista metafisico, la teoria di maggior importanza proposta da Conway consiste in un monismo spiritualista, che unifica tutte le forme dell’essere nella loro comune origine spirituale, e che vede la materia come un risultato del peccato originale e della caduta. La comune origine di ogni cosa, tuttavia, non si riduce ad un monismo singolarista, che identificherebbe Dio e le creature. Conway, invece, difende una teoria triadica dell’essere, distinguendo Dio (colui che non ammette cambiamento) da Cristo (colui che ammette cambiamento, ma solo in direzione ameliorativa), ed entrambi dal creato e dalle creature (che ammettono cambiamento sia in senso positivo che negativo). Questa complessa nozione di cambiamento viene sviluppata, secondo Conway, in relazione alla giustizia distributiva dell’elemento divino, ed è dunque connessa a concezioni etiche dell’organizzazione metafisica del reale. Fedele al proprio impianto di base platonico, Conway associa la caduta degli spiriti alla loro trasmutazione in corpi, e ne prevede un escatologico esito spirituale, a sua volta garantito dalla giustizia divina e dalla loro trasformazione etic
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
