Best Educational Sites Self-Sabotage in the Academic Career Pogo recognized long ago that we often are our own worst enemies. Sure, he was a cartoon character, but he had a point—especially in higher education, where self-sabotage seems to be a standard characteristic of academic careers. In my 30 years as a professor, five years as a dean, and three years as a provost, I have observed many academics harm their own careers, often without realizing it. Here are 15 ways in which you can be most self-destructive. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. Robert J. Miracles First published Mon Oct 11, 2010; substantive revision Sat Jul 2, 2011 [Editor's Note: The following new entry by Timothy McGrew replaces the former entry on this topic by the previous author.] A miracle (from the Latin mirari, to wonder), at a first and very rough approximation, is an event that is not explicable by natural causes alone. A reported miracle excites wonder because it appears to require, as its cause, something beyond the reach of human action and natural causes. Historically, the appeal to miracles has formed one of the primary lines of argument in favor of specific forms of theism, the argument typically being that the event in question can best (or can only) be explained as the act of a particular deity. 1. The philosophical discussion of miracles has focused principally on the credibility of certain claims in the Jewish and Christian scriptures. 1.1 Miracles as events that exceed the productive power of nature 1.2 Miracles as violations of the laws of nature 2.

A Critique of David Hume’s On Miracles Are miracles possible? Or at least can we ever know if one has graced the pages of history? This is the question David Hume attempts to answer in section ten of his Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. Hume is not the only one who has thought highly of his argument. The purpose of this article is to examine Hume’s argument in detail. In order to show the inherent weaknesses in Hume’s arguments, we must start with a brief summary of Hume’s epistemology. Hume’s Epistemology Michael Levine says, “Hume’s position on miracles cannot be properly understood apart from his analysis of causation, a posterior reasoning and . . . his analysis of ‘impressions’ and ‘ideas.’” Atheist, Christian, Deist, Irreligion? One important facet of Hume’s treatment of miracles concerns his metaphysical belief. Paul Russell has devoted much time and writing to the question of Hume’s religious belief. Hume the Empiricist If one could identify Hume in one word it would be “empiricist.” Hume the Skeptic Section One
Women Artists Essay - Linda Nochlin Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? by LINDA NOCHLIN While the recent upsurge of feminist activity in this country has indeed been a liberating one, its force has been chiefly emotional--personal, psychological, and subjective--centered, like the other radical movements to which it is related, on the present and its immediate needs, rather than on historical analysis of the basic intellectual issues which the feminist attack on the status quo automatically raises. Like any revolution. however, the feminist one ultimately must come to grips with the intellectual and ideological basis of the various intellectual or scholarly disciplines--history, philosophy, sociology, psychology, etc. In the field of art history, the white Western male viewpoint, unconsciously accepted as the viewpoint of the art historian, may--and does--prove to be inadequate not merely on moral and ethical grounds, or because it is elitist, but on purely intellectual ones. What if Picasso had been born a girl?
Chaos theory and the Larrikin Princip - Universitetsforlaget This lively, accessible book applies ideas from chaos and complexity theory to core issues inorganisation studies. It develops a new critique of Managerialism and its global god-father, Neo-Liberalism, still dominant ideologies in management today. It complements theoretical critique with stories and voices from the front line of organisational life, in Australia, Mexico and Brazil. It argues that Managerialism is not only unjust.
