Architecture and the Origins of Preclassic Maya Politics
Sustaining Cultural Development
Paleoecology and Geoarchaeology at El Palmar and the El Zotz Region, Guatemala
A new paleoecology record from the El Palmar Cival adds to the emerging geoarchaeological record of El Zotz, Guatemala. El Palmar's 3 m stratigraphic record began in the Archaic period before 1500 B.C. at or just before initial Maya impacts. From the lowest level, Late Archaic organic deposition, with evidence for diverse tropical forest and a steady water table, transitioned to Early Preclassic clay deposition, decreased forest taxa, three known…

Socrates and Gorgias
In this paper I try to solve some problems concerning the interpretation of Socrates’ conversation with Gorgias about the nature of rhetoric in Plato’s Gorgias (448e6-461b2). I begin by clarifying what, ethically, is at stake in the conversation (section 2). In the main body of the paper (sections 3-6) I address the question of what we are to understand Gorgias as believing about the nature of rhetoric: I criticise accounts given by Charles Kahn …
The fundamental Conflict in Plato’s Gorgias
The action of Plato’s Gorgias is easily described. It is the late fifth century bc. Gorgias, the world-famous Sicilian orator, is visiting Athens. He has just for giving a display of his rhetorical virtuosity before an audience. He is with two friends and admirers— Polus, a young and avid student of rhetoric, and Callicles, a man of burning political ambition—as Socrates and his friend Chaerephon come upon the scene. After a brief opening convers…

The Progressive Tradition in Canadian Literature
THE CONVENTIONAL WISDOM in Canadian literary history tells us that the tradition is dominated by themes of exile and ambivalence. In Northrop Frye' s famous meta phor, Canadian culture is seen as a garrison of civilization, gradually extending its influence over a resistant landscape. * A few years later even a relatively critical na tionalist such as Margaret Atwood failed to find much evidence of a literature of so cial protest arising from the…

Moral Rationalism and Moral Commitment
Moral rationalism is identified as the view that moral constraints are rational constraints. This view seems implausible to many because it seems to involve belief in the fantasticsounding possibility of egoist-conversion: that, in principle, an argument for moral constraints could be produced which would motivate a rational person who does not yet accept those constraints (i.e., an egoist) to observe them. Furthermore, the Humean want-belief mod…
Power and Contentment
In a recent article in this journal (Politics Vol. 17 No. 1), Colin Hay rethinks the radical conception of power developed by Steven Lukes. Hay argues that the failure to keep analytical and normative questions distinct means that Lukes mistakenly conflates the identification and critique of power relations. To circumvent this problem, Hay redefines the concept in terms which remove normative questions from the analysis of power. In this article,…

As They See Canada
Law, Legislation and Literature
Lawyer and law journalist Grace H. Harte (1867-1957) presents a challenge in the research and writing of a minor life. Her story involves the American literary milieu of the 1890s and the twentieth-century struggle of women to practice law in the United States. The source materials include journalism and biographical fiction, but only a few letters. By careful inference, however, the biographer can develop an appropriate tribute to the subject's …
The Devil and Dame Chance
In September 1890, the New England Magazine of Boston featured an article entitled "Some Canadian Writers of To-Day." The author, Walter Blackburn Harte, had recently emerged on the American literary scene as a reporter and interpreter of Canadian subjects: his pieces on "The Canadian Legisla- ture" and "Social Life at Ottawa" were the lead articles in The Cosmopolitan of New York for April and August 1889; his series on Canadian politics and cul…

Annie Howells and The Vacation of the Kelwyns
William Dean Howells' posthumously published novel The Vacation of the Kelwyns (1920), as Richard Chase has pointed out, is a charming narrative with a "pervasive quality of reminiscence, calm wisdom, and idyllic pleasure in life."1 Based loosely on the author's recollections of the summer of the American Centennial, the novel was obviously inspired by the same over- whelmingly retrospective mood reflected in his five volumes of personal reminisc…
From Conservative Alternative to Vanishing Frontier
To many nineteenth-century Americans, Canada was an enigma. "Neither a republic nor a monarchy, but merely a languid expectation of something undefined."1 declared Charles Dudley Warner on the basis of a visit to Cape Breton Island in 1874, and his remark is typical of the bemused disapproval which American observers often expressed after a brief look at one corner or another of the northern provinces. Warner was one of several noteworthy America…
