25 documents for incompatibility of free will and determinism
  • This monograph is a case study of newspaper competition in New Hampshire between the province's official newspaper and an upstart Whig challenger in the period marked by contention over the Stamp Act (1765-1766) and over the tight oligarchical reign of the Wentworth family. The case study is grounded in the civic republican tradition articulated by Bernard Bailyn and Gordon Wood as well as the revisionist scholarship since the 1960s that takes the role of the "little people" seriously. It maintains that the competition between the two newspapers contributed to, and opened up, the public spaces in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to a wider compass than might have been predicted if one follows the standard Habermasian argument for the develop of a bourgeois public sphere. In part, these more d...

  • Eternal objects-that is, possibilities which are 'eternal' in the sense of not being spatio-temporal existences-would emerge because of the existence of problematic situations, as suggestions which could then be operatively applied to actual existences in an attempt to resolve those problems.4 Experimental intelligence would replace God as the agency needed to relate actual existences and eternal objects, the latter now understood to be emergent rather than timeless. 5 In his response to the symposium papers, Whitehead rejects Dewey's plea, insisting instead that: the historic process of the world, which requires the genetic-functional interpretation, also requires for its understanding some insight into those ultimate principles of existence which express the necessary connections w...

  • Account-making refers to "people's story-like construction of events that include explanations, descriptions, predictions about relevant future [and past] events and affective reaction" (Harvey, Orbuch, Chwalisz, & Garwood, 1991, p. 516). In autoethnographic account-making, personal experiences are delineated, explicated, and communicated to the greater audience of researchers and lay people in order to help them better understand people's actions, reactions, motives, and psychoemotional states of being. In this way, accounts not only serve as sources of social scientific knowledge but also as aids to understanding how others make sense of their own lives. In general, accounts can be developed for different time periods throughout a person's lifetime regarding a number of events, in...
