The Paradoxes of the Body in Philip Roth’s Last Novels
This article adopts the phenomenological approach of Merleau-Ponty to explore how the body is both a source of hope and betrayal for the protagonists’ aspirations in Philip Roth’s last four novels: Everyman, Indignation, The Humbling, and Nemesis. When the characters accept the reality of their bodies, it leads them to a sense of responsibility in their communities; when they reject the truth of their bodies, it leads them to social isolation and…
Situated Ethics in Development
Technology has played a central role in development programming since the inception of development assistance. Recent development organizations, like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, believe technological innovation can improve development outcomes. Development ethics, a field of study focused on the ethical questions posed by development policies and practices, has yet to fully appreciate the ethical dimensions of the science and technolog…
Eric Voegelin's Contribution to Political Science
This article compares Eric Voegelin's contribution to political science to European émigré scholars of the same period: Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Hannah Arendt, Hans Morgenthau, and Leo Strauss. It highlights Voegelin's main contributions to the field, reviews The Eric Voegelin Reader, and how The Reader will help scholars in both the classroom and scholarship
Jews, Christians, and Commerce
Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice provides a concrete characterization of how different cultures, traditions, and value come into cooperation and conflict in the cities of Venice and Belmont. Reviewing the works of Bradizza, Burns, Trepanier, and Ajzenstat, I show how these authors interpret Shakespeare's play in addressing questions of religious tolerance, commerce and contract, and political virtue
Contract, Friendship, and Love inThe Merchant of Venice
Shakespeare shows how enforceable contract not only undergirds the city of Venice, which makes a multicultural society possible, but its corrosive effects on non-contractual relationships like friendship, love, and marriage. This is evident in the decisions, actions, and relationships of Antonio, Bassanio, Portia, and Jessica. Although Shakespeare concludes the play on a happy note, the conclusion one can reach is that, despite its advantages, re…
Consciousness, Memory, and History in Tolstoy'sWar and Peace
Contrary to the critics of Tolstoy's War and Peace who have interpreted the Second Epilogue as an aberration in the novel that distracts from the merits of the work, I argue that Tolstoy spells out the crucial principles that organize the entire novel in the Second Epilogue. In the Second Epilogue, Tolstoy presents his philosophy of consciousness and memory that, in turn, informs his philosophy of history that is similar to Augustine's conception…
The Politics and Experience of Active Love inThe Brothers Karamazov
Contrary to the claims that The Brothers Karamazov is a polyphonic novel, in which the author's own views are irrelevant to its interpretation, and that Dostoevsky himself was unable to furnish an adequate defense of Christianity after Book V, the author shows how Zossima's doctrines of active love and responsibility for all are the interpretive keys to the novel. This so-called “unity in diversity” in Bakhtin's literary criticism thereby provide…
