  • Saving Sociology

    Brendan D Dooley, Brendan DooleyARTICLEAcademic Questions2025

    Brendan Dooley sees Bradley Campbell’s How to Think Better About Social Justice: Why Good Sociology Matters as a “brief but punchy ... educated but not pedantic” attempt to deliver sociology from its fatal attachment to central planning and the “intoxicating delusion” of man-made utopia

  • Natural Knowledge at the Threshold of the Enlightenment: The Case of Antonio Vallisneri

    Open AccessBrendan Dooley, Zeta BooksARTICLEJournal of Early Modern Studies2023

    Italian contributions to the Enlightenment are most often discussed in terms of the slow acceptance of Newtonian science (Ferrone) or the obstacles to change within a quaint museum of antiquated states (Venturi). This case study of an important naturalist attempts to identify the paths to change between tradition and revolt, in fields of natural knowledge that are sometimes less regarded in the context of an international movement of intellectual…

  • An International Study of Correlates of Women’s Positive Body Image

    Open AccessSandra Torres, Carolina A Araújo et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Investigation…2022

    Positive body image (PBI) has received attention in the recent research literature. Despite this, its role in daily functioning in different cultural contexts, particularly its potential relationship with academic outcomes, is still lacking. This study aimed to offer an international perspective on the association between PBI and body mass index (BMI), perceived academic achievement, and educational aspirations, as well as the mediating role of s…

    Open AccessNiall Mac Dhonnagáin, Aileen O’reilly et al.ARTICLEChild Psychiatry & Human…2022

This study aimed to identify risk factors among youth attending Jigsaw, a youth mental health service in Ireland. Routine data were collected from N = 9,673 youth who engaged with Jigsaw (Mean age = 16.9 years, SD = 3.14), including presenting issues, levels of psychological distre…

  • The Continued Exercise of Reason: Public Addresses by George Boole

    Brendan DooleyBOOKThe Continued Exercise of Reason2018

    Lectures, many never before published, that offer insights into the early thinking of the mathematician and polymath George Boole. George Boole (1815–1864), remembered by history as the developer of an eponymous form of algebraic logic, can be considered a pioneer of the information age not only because of the application of Boolean logic to the design of switching circuits but also because of his contributions to the mass distribution of knowled…

  • On the Question: Are the Planets Inhabited?

    Brendan DooleyCHAPTERContinued Exercise of Reason2018

    This chapter presents George Boole's lecture on whether the planets are inhabited. He first considers the general conditions to which life here has manifested; second, the adaptations of the earth as the abode of life; and third, the presumptions in favor of such adaptation on the part of the remaining orbs of the planetary system. He says that if it is granted that the Author of nature acts consistently in all his works, that he accomplishes the…

  • The Right Use of Leisure

    Brendan DooleyCHAPTERContinued Exercise of Reason2018

    This chapter presents George Boole's lecture on the right use of leisure. He says that every right involves a responsibility. The greater our freedom from external restrictions, the more we become the rightful subjects of the moral law within us. The less our accountability to man, the greater our accountability to a higher power. Such a thing as irresponsible right has no existence in this world. Even in the formation of opinion, which is of all…

  • On the Genius and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton

    Brendan DooleyCHAPTERContinued Exercise of Reason2018

    This chapter presents George Boole's lecture on the discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton. The first subject of importance that engaged Newton's attention was the phenomena of prismatic colors. The results of his inquiries were communicated to the Royal Society in the year 1675, and afterwards published with most important additions in 1704. The production was entitled “Optics; or, a Treatise on the Reflections, Refractions, Inflections, and Colours of…

  • The Claims of Science

    Brendan DooleyCHAPTERContinued Exercise of Reason2018

    This chapter presents George Boole's lecture on the claims of the pursuit of science, He says that like all other claims with which we are concerned, these must ultimately rest upon some intrinsic excellency or special suitableness of the object. Qualities such as these can alone give to it an enduring title to our regard. He draws attention to the ground of those claims, in the immediate or implied relations of science to human nature; in its re…

  • On Education

    Brendan DooleyCHAPTERContinued Exercise of Reason2018

    This chapter presents George Boole's lecture on education. He identifies three things to which the attention of the teacher must be chiefly directed: the imparting of knowledge, the production of a ready command and application of such knowledge by art and practice, and the formation of habits. In the accomplishment of each of these objects, he holds that the order of Nature is to be imitated and obeyed. The order of Nature as manifested both in …

  • The Social Aspect of Intellectual Culture

    Brendan DooleyCHAPTERContinued Exercise of Reason2018

    This chapter presents George Boole's lecture on the social aspect of intellectual culture. He says that within proper limits and under proper conditions, intellectual tastes are not only compatible with social enjoyment, but tend to refine and enlarge that enjoyment. An interest in the progress of the arts and sciences and in the researches of the antiquary and the scholar is calculated not to destroy but to deepen our interest in humanity. He fu…

  • A Plea for Freedom

    Brendan DooleyCHAPTERContinued Exercise of Reason2018

    This chapter argues that the right to acquire knowledge, like every other right, involves a responsibility. It may be neglected or abused, but the right exists. It cites the need to choose representatives in the Committee with care, and having chosen them, confide to them in a free and generous spirit, the interests of one's Institution, abolishing all vexatious restraints upon the liberty of their decisions. The only restriction which is worthy …

  • On the Character and Origin of the Ancient Mythologies

    Brendan DooleyCHAPTERContinued Exercise of Reason2018

    This chapter presents George Boole's lecture on the origin of ancient mythologies. Very few ancient writers agree in the representations on this subject despite living in the country whose opinions they profess to relate. Comparison of the statements transmitted by Greek and Roman writers on the religious opinions of nations with which they were less immediately connected show discrepancies so great that the attempt to reconcile them is a hopeles…
