G arvey, M arcus (1887–1940)
In 1919, when Marcus Garvey launched the Yarmouth, the first ship of his Black Star Line shipping company, he was undoubtedly one of the most famous black men on the planet. But within a decade he had been jailed and deported from the United States and his huge organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), was in retreat. His critics considered him a charlatan and a buffoon, but to his admirers “there was God and there was Gar…
Constructions of Climate Change on the Radio and in Nepalese Lay Focus Groups
To date analyses of media climate change constructions have mostly focused on coverage in western newspapers. Consideration of coverage in developing countries, and analyses of media constructions alongside local understandings of climate change are comparatively rare. This article provides an analysis of the construction of climate change on Nepalese radio and lay constructions of environment and climate change within the country. Data from a ra…

Why Should Theology Be Unnatural
The recovery of theological integrity effected by Karl Barth has very much to do with his polemic against natural theology. Theology has regained credibility, however, at the price of being made unnatural, severed from the world in its own ecclesiastical sphere. This actually represents an indirect endorsement of natural theology inasmuch as the naturalistic understanding of the world is taken for granted as the way the world is. One result of th…
Is Kai Nielsen becoming a Wittgensteinian fideist
In his recourse to a later Wittgensteinian or postmodern social focus, Kai Nielsen relinquishes the analytic argument he once took to be supportive of his naturalistic outlook. This shift raises the question of how he can continue to demand rationality of theistic visions that he no longer expects for his own naturalistic outlook. Rather than a rational naturalism and a fideistic theism, what seems to be involved are two coherent visions that are…

Why care? The basis and implications of care morality
A travers des entretiens avec des femmes et des psychologues, Carol Gilligan en est venue a envisager une conception de la morale qui jette un doute sur l'ideal de maturite morale implicite dans la theorie des etapes morales de Laurence Kohlberg. L'intention de l'A. est de montrer comment la morale de l'attention pose des questions essentielles sur la definition du champ de la morale par la preuve empirique et sur le role des conceptions qui sous…

The Gregarious Metaphor Of The Selfish Gene
Science establishes facts; the arts create imaginary possibilities; theology speculates. Although this characterization might receive wide endorsement, highly creative and literary developments in contemporary science suggest otherwise. The intriguing gene's-eye view of life promoted by sociobiology, and especially in Richard Dawkins' ‘biography’ of the selfish gene, represents a highly literate and imaginative account of reality that not only sh…

The Theological Significance of Hartshorne's Response to Positivism
Charles Hartshorne is usually regarded as the developer of the theological approach initiated by Alfred North Whitehead. Justification for this view is to be found not only in the central focus of Hartshorne's voluminous writings, but also in his own references to Whitehead's accomplishments. He notes that Whitehead did not regard himself as a theologian, but rather saw his task as that of attempting to reconcile the professedly neutral burgeonin…
