Overcoming the tribes effect
Using a Value-Added Approach to Assess the Sociology Major
Universities across the nation have been called upon to provide evidence of student learning through direct means of assessment. Value-added assessment, which aims to document the development of student learning from the beginning of the university experience to the end, has been called “accountability’s new frontier” by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. In response to an internal university initiative, the Department o…

The Cambridge Companion to Schopenhauer
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) is something of a maverick figure in the history of philosophy. He produced a unique theory of the world and human existence based upon his notion of will. This collection analyses the related but distinct components of will from the point of view of epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, aesthetics, ethics, and the philosophy of psychoanalysis. This volume explores Schopenhauer's philosophy of death, his r…
The Good in Plato's Gorgias
Socrates teaches in the Gorgias that human goodness or virtue includes concern for the good of others, while at the same time asserting that no one should act except for the sake of his own good. The simplest way of avoiding incompatibility between these doctrines of altruism and egoism is to interpret Socrates as holding that virtue, including concern for others, is an instrumental means to our own good. Looked at in this light the doctrine of a…
Love and the Individual in Plato's Phaedrus
There are two basic objections to Plato's account of love in the Phaedrus , both raised by Gregory Vlastos, both metaphysically important in their own right, and both still unanswered. The first is that the Phaedrus sees men as mere images of another world, making it folly or even idolatry to treat them as worthy of love for their own sakes. The other is that it considers the love that we bear for our fellow men to be the result of human, tempora…
Love and Beauty in Plato's Symposium
It is a widely held view that according to the Symposium the ultimate or ‘primary’ object of love is the Form of Beauty. It is almost as widely held that the Form of Beauty is identical with that of the Good. In this paper I argue that both of these views are mistaken. In a first section I present a detailed analysis of Diotima's doctrine, emphasizing features of it which I judge to be often overlooked. In subsequent sections I examine the argume…

The effect of prolonged physical training on the properties of long bone
Five one-year-old immature swine were subjected to twelve months of exercise training. Four matched swine with no training served as controls. After they were killed, four-millimeter-wide strips of bone taken from the anterior, medial, posterior, and lateral quadrants of the central femoral diaphysis were subjected to four-point bending tests to failure. It was found that although exercise did not change the mechanical properties of the cortical …

The Compresence Of Opposites In Phaedo 102
In Cornford's opinion, the theory of Forms as put forward in the Parmenides is identical with the theory as stated in the Pbaedo —both of them expressing thethat concrete things are the bearers, simultaneously, of contrary characters. Christopher Kirwan has recently denied this identity, in a paper which, if hisis accepted, will upset many traditions and greatly alter our understandingLthe middle dialogues
Protagoras as a Moral Educator
A Passage of Some Elegance in the Theaetetus
151 e SOCRATES: Perception, you say is knowledge? THEAETETUS: Yes. SOCR.: The account you give of the nature of knowledge is not, by any means, to be despised. It is the same that was given by Protagoras, though he stated it in a somewhat different way. He says, you will remember, that 'man is the measure of all things alike of the being of things that are and of the not-being of things that are not.' No doubt you have read that. THEAET.: Yes, of…
