Spinoza: The First Modern Pantheist.
Outline of pantheism in Spinoza's philosophy.
http://members.aol.com/Heraklit1/spinoza.htm

Extractions: Are you a pantheist? See the Scientific Pantheism site. Spinoza was born in Amsterdam in 1632, into a family of Jewish emigrants fleeing persecution in Portugal. He was trained in Talmudic scholarship, but his views soon took unconventional directions which the Jewish community - fearing renewed persecution on charges of atheism - tried to discourage. Spinoza was offered 1000 florins to keep quiet about his views, but refused. At the age of 24, he was summoned before a rabbinical court, and solemnly excommunicated. Spinoza refused all rewards and honours, and gave away to his sister his share of his father's inheritance - keeping only a bedstead for himself. He earned his living as a humble lens-grinder. He died, in February 1674, of consumption, probably aggravated by fine glass dust inhaled at his workbench. His philosophy is summarized in the Ethics , a very abstract work, which openly expresses none of the love of nature that might be expected from someone who identified God with nature. And Spinoza's starting point is not nature or the cosmos, but a purely theoretical definition of God. The work then proceeds to prove its conclusions by a method modelled on geometry, through rigorous definitions, axioms, propositions and corollaries. No doubt in this way Spinoza hoped to build his philosophy on the solidest rock, but the method, as well as some of the arguments and definitions, are often unconvincing.
MPhil (Master Of Philosophy) Modern Languages
MPhil (Master of philosophy) School of modern Languages at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
http://www.ncl.ac.uk/sml/postgrad/mphil.php

Extractions: university of newcastle upon tyne / modern languages / postgraduate / 1 year full time, 2 years part time The MPhil is a research degree designed for students who do not require formal training. It is entirely based upon research leading to the completion of a thesis of not more than 50,000 words, which is submitted at the end of the Summer Research Semester in the first year of study for full-time students, and in the second year of study for part-time students. An MPhil thesis is shorter and more limited in scope than a PhD thesis - the PhD thesis should show substantial evidence of original scholarship and contain material worthy of publication, or adaptation for publication. You are normally required to pass an oral examination with the external examiner(s) after presentation of your thesis. The usual route to doctoral study is via the MLitt programme . However, students who register for an MPhil degree may transfer (but are not obliged) to PhD status in the second year, conditional upon satisfactory progress.

On The History Of Modern Philosophy
Critique of Hegel from On the History of modern philosophy (18334) by Friedrich Schelling. Friedrich Schelling, (1833-4). On the History of modern philosophy.
http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/ge/schelli3.htm

Extractions: Friedrich Schelling, (1833-4) Source : Translated by Professor Andrew Bowie . The full text was published by Cambridge University Press in 1994, but this excerpt was taken from G. W. F. Hegel, Critical Assessments , edited by Robert Stern, Routledge 1994. Routledge also published Prof. Bowie's Schelling and Modern European Philosophy , where an extensive analysis of Schelling's philosophy and his relation to Hegel is available. The philosophy which has just been presented, which could rely on universal assent if it presented itself as a science of thought or of reason and presented God, whom it reached at the end, as the merely logical result of its earlier mediations, acquired, by assuming the appearance of the opposite, a completely false reputation which even contradicted its original thought (hence the changeable and very various judgments that were expressed about it were quite natural). Now one might hope that this philosophy really would withdraw to within this boundary, would declare itself as negative, merely as logical philosophy when Hegel established precisely as the first demand on philosophy that it should withdraw into pure thinking, and that it should have as sole immediate object the pure concept. Hegel cannot be denied the credit for having seen the merely

Jacques Maritain: Modern Philosophy In The Tradition Of St Thomas Aquinas

Extractions: In this course we shall focus on two major and seemingly disparate characteristics of Modern Philosophy: its relentless search for solid Foundations and its resolute turn toward Subjectivity . While the Renaissance, the Reformation, the discovery of the New World, the rise of Science and Capitalism, represent the external (socio-historical) determinants of Modernity, its major internal moving forces have been undoubtedly the unleashed human Subjectivity and the new spirit of Foundationalism .

Pythagoreanism
Information about the arguments in this book written by Eric Steinhart, including overview and chapter abstracts. Interprets pythagoreanism in modern terms, as a philosophy radically opposed to Platonism.
http://www.wpunj.edu/cohss/philosophy/faculty/esteinha/PYTHAG.HTM

Extractions: Pythagoreanism Home Table of Contents Chapter Abstracts A pythagorean says all that exists are collections and their properties. All particulars are collections and all universals are properties of collections. A collection is intuitively definable as any number of objects grouped together to make one object. A collection is more precisely definable as the object of some set or class theory. I argue that collections and their properties are the ultimate theoretical entities of deep science. I argue that the following things are collections: numbers; points, lines, planes, regions, space-times; vectors, matrices, all physical fields; all material events, things, and processes; our actual universe, all physically possible universes; all set-theoretic worlds; the whole of reality. Reality is a maximally inclusive collection. It contains all possible models of all consistent theories. It is that than which no more complex is possible. I make these arguments in a book, just finished, entitled Pythagoreanism.

The Beginnings Of Modern Philosophy
The Beginnings of modern philosophy. His major contribution, for which he will forever be known as the father of modern philosophy, is the method of doubt.
http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/modphilbegin.html

Extractions: The Beginnings of Modern Philosophy Dr. C. George Boeree The Book of the Courtier. Two events in particular stand out as representative of the renaissance: The first was printing. Johann Gutenberg (c 1400-1467) of Mainz invented the printing press and movable type, and printed the Gutenberg Bible in 1455. Christopher Columbus Humanism Another aspect of the renaissance was its humanism, meaning an interest in or focus on human beings and their well being, here and now, rather than in God and the afterlife, or the activities of saints and Biblical heroes of eons ago. Petrarch (1304-1374), for example, wrote history with an emphasis on personality, and is often considered the first humanist (at least since the ancients!). There were several philosophers in the early renaissance who particularly express this idea of humanism. Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494), for example, believed that the philosophers (that is, Plato and Aristotle) and Christianity basically agree. He argued for free will and saw mankind as the connection between the physical world and the spiritual world. Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam (1467-1536) recommended a compromise between faith and humanism, and tried hard to prevent the excesses of the reformation. A strong believer in free will, he wrote against the concept of justified wars, and asked his readers to exercise tolerance, friendliness, and gentleness.
Leo Strauss's Platonism
Essay by Neil Robertson. Argues that Strauss anachronistically ascribed modern concerns to premodern philosophy.
http://www.mun.ca/animus/1999vol4/roberts4.htm

Extractions: LEO STRAUSS'S PLATONISM Neil Robertson ngrobert@is.dal.ca For Platonists are not concerned with the historical (accidental) truth, since they are exclusively interested in the philosophic (essential) truth. Only because public speech demands a mixture of seriousness and playfulness, can a true Platonist present the serious teaching, the philosophic teaching, in a historical, and hence playful, garb. Leo Strauss "Farabi's Plato" [1] Leo Strauss, the historian of political philosophy, is especially noted for seeking to revive the quarrel between the ancients and the moderns. In a number of books Strauss calls for a return to and a renewal of ancient political philosophy, and in particular that of Plato. Yet Strauss's actual interpretations of Platonic texts have often been regarded by non-Straussians as idiosyncratic, perverse or simply bizarre. Strauss, for his part, argues that he has recovered the original Plato lost sight of by the tradition of Neo-Platonic and Christian interpretation. In this paper I wish, on the one hand, to agree with critics of Strauss that his is not the original Plato, but, on the other hand, to try to discern the logic underlying Strauss's reading of Plato. My paper concludes by suggesting that Strauss's discussion of Plato can be seen to be of the greatest interest if it is read less as providing an interpretation of the original Plato and more as a contribution to contemporary thought . What underlies Strauss's interpretation of Plato is a one-sided, but nonetheless significant, consideration of the contemporary.

http://www.leaderu.com/truth/1truth20.html

Extractions: LU-Announce A good case study for this claim about the importance of philosophy to biblical criticism is provided by David Brown's excellent and impressively learned book The Divine Trinity .[1] It is an attempt to stimulate a dialogue between philosophers of religion and biblical scholars in order to produce a combined study of the historical basis for and philosophical credibility of Christian doctrine. Brown is one of the more judicious and careful biblical scholars I have read, and he also possesses an extensive acquaintance with the literature and methods of contemporary philosophy of religion. And yet even his book abounds in examples of biblical exegesis based on specious arguments. Consider, for example, Brown's discussion of the Magnificat. In the last part of Chapter 3 (p. 136)

Towards A Philippine Philosophy
An attempt to outline some common thoughts and ideas in the belief and wisdom systems of the precolonial Filipinos and the modern Filipino tribal beliefs.
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Temple/9845/philo.htm

Extractions: Click here and feel the wave! The purpose of this page is to attempt to outline some common thoughts and ideas in the belief and wisdom systems of the pre-colonial Filipinos and the modern Filipino tribal beliefs. The more commonly recurring themes will be organized in an effort to develop a Pan-Philippine philosophy. Such a philosophy should represent ideas and thoughts widely attested enough to classify as geographically endemic to the island nation. Only very obvious foreign borrowings will be neglected here, no inquiry will be made into the proposed theories of borrowing so commonly found in Western scholarship. This certainly is not the first attempt at piecing together a Filipino philosophical system, although most previous attempts have concentrated on Filipino Christian rather than indigenous culture. In some cases, Filipino thinkers like Isabelo De Los Reyes have tried to blend in indigenous elements into local Christian thought. The problem in the Philippines lies in its thought processes being borrowed mostly from the outside. In ordinary social dealings, the Filipino traits still survive and predominate, but Filipinos have been unable to develop a modern philosophy that would enable them to adapt foreign thought to the indigenous mind and attitude. Serafin Talisayon has created a diagram showing some prominent Filipino social values found among mainstream modern Filipinos:
