Sentimentalism in Col. Jack
No full textI argue in this paper that Daniel Defoe’s Col. Jack (1722) is a well-knit sentimental novel that shows the real eighteenth-century London where rampant poverty and destitution has rendered a large number of people to be criminals. To get a complete picture of sentimentalism in Col. Jack, I have taken a brief survey of the views of critics about Defoe and his work, social history of London and the time within which Col. Jack is placed. I also argue about secularism and sentimentalism in the novel, Col. Jack’s sentimentalism in the light of psychoanalytical theory, and Defoe’s realism and sentimentalism in Col. Jack. The discussion on ‘secularism and sentimentalism’ is not a critique of Defoe’s religious belief. Col. Jack is a fictional work in the form of a biographical sketch of a rogue struggling with sin-virtue lifestyle; and Defoe portrays just that. Applying psychoanalytical approach to look at the sentimentalism in Col. Jack, we find Freudian pleasure and reality principles and the phenomenon of Oedipus complex at work. The realism and sentimentalism in Col. Jack combine to provide complete picture of destitution and its effects, the necessity of reasoning and its effects, compassion and its effects, and the importance of consistent effort to change extenuating circumstances to make life useful for self and for others -- hallmark of sentimentalism. Col. Jack is all about this, and a well-reasoned sentimental commentary on the societal incongruities that either make a man a sinful creature for none of his fault, or provide opportunity to a man to be a vitreous, useful gentleman.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Syed W.

From the ‘freedom of the streets’: a biographical study of culture and social change in the life and work of writer Jack Common (1903-1968)
No full textThe author assesses the life and work of the Newcastle upon Tyne born writer Jack Common in the light of the massive social, economic and cultural changes which have affected the North East of England and wider society through the period of Common's life and afterwards. He seeks to point out the relevance of Common to the present day in terms of his ideas about class, community and the individual and in the light of Common's sense of rebelliousness influenced by a process of grass-roots education and self-improvement. In addition, he draws upon his own extensive experience in community arts and education, looking, in particular, at the work he and others have carried out on Common over the last thirty years and assessing its value in the light of recent political changes. The author draws together the range of biographical and literary criticism carried out by a range of individuals over this period of time and brings into print hitherto unpublished material about Common's life and work by interviewing family members and associates, exploring the Common Archive at Newcastle University and other largely ignored sources, and studying Common's significant association with George Orwell in great detail. Through all of this, he seeks to argue that Common's life and ideas remain worthy of close attention in the present day

Philosophy Changing Lives
No full textPeter Singer has made a career out of making controversial claims. From calling for animal liberation to justifying euthanasia, he has been remarkably consistent in his attempts to minimize suffering. Now, he is talking about charity and global responsibility. The results are just as compelling.
In this episode, Why? Radio talks with Peter about the moral demand to minimize harm and the expectations that ethics can make all of us better off. Listen as we engage in a wide-ranging discussion about the relationships between ethical theory and practice, utilitarianism, whether animals have rights, and Peter’s own non-profit.
Peter Singer is one of the most well-known philosophers today. He is known for his stalwart public voice and his clear moral conclusions. He is the author of many books, from accessible accounts of the philosophers Marx and Hegel, to Animal Liberation, that some people read as manifestos. His book The Most Good You Can Do tells the story of effective altruism.
Peter is both the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University and a Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne. He is also co-founder of the non-profit organization, The Life You can Save.https://commons.und.edu/why-radio-archive/1028/thumbnail.jp
W E. B. Dubois post-1934 thought, 1977
No full textThis thesis traces W. E. B. DuBois evolution of thought after he split with the integrationist-oriented NAACP in 1934. First, his plans for a segregated black economy are examined. In Chapter II the tensions, dilemmas and contradictions in DuBois1 political and social thought are discussed. The third chapter deals with the "American Creed" and the manner in which DuBois uncovered and expounded upon the disparity between promises implicit in that creed and the actual degree to which those promises are fulfilled (which often depends on racial considerations). It must be determined whether DuBois possessed the traditional American spirit of optimism in relation to the ability and willingness of the American social structure to handle problems such as race. In Chapter IV DuBois conceptions of Marxian Socialism and Communism as they related to racial and international affairs are discussed. Early in his career DuBois was concerned almost exclusively with conditions in the United States,But as he confronted Marxian Socialism and its implications (both theoretical and real), his interests broadened to include all of the "colored" world as well as Europe and Asia. Chapter V talks about DuBois, Communism and the American Negro. DuBois was personally involved in many events evolving from the rise of Communism (such as the McCarthy era). In the final chapter. Chapter VI, the Marxian Socialism in DuBois1 ideas and values as well as their implications and manifestations will be reviewed. Many questions are encountered here, not the least of which revolves around whether or not DuBois was, in the final analysis, a "real, dedicated Communist." The paper concludes with a summary of Chapters I through VI and with final remarks about W. E. B. DuBois' contributions to American political and social thought and to the black struggle in this country
