Faculty listing and short description of the department.
http://philosophy.evansville.edu/

Extractions: T he philosophy program at the University of Evansville has many purposes. First, the program explores ideas about knowledge, ethics and reality which have been instrumental in shaping the human condition. Second, it teaches students to become critical thinkers and readers, aiding in the development of skills in analyzing arguments, uncovering hidden assumptions and bringing alternative viewpoints to consciousness. The philosophy program encourages the critical examination of the philosophical presuppositions of science, law, art, religion and other areas of human concern. The Department of Philosophy and Religion believes that the search for meaningful life work must be balanced by an education that guides and enlightens. Students who study philosophy find challenging course work in the liberal arts and sciences, experienced faculty and a campus brimming with vitality. E-mail: philosophy@evansville.edu

A Short Biography Of Franklin Merrell-Wolff
A biography of Franklin MerrellWolf. Includes information on his philosophy.
http://www.om-guru.com/html/saints/wolff.html

Extractions: Franklin Merrell-Wolff Franklin Merrell-Wolff was an American living in rural California who documented his spiritual awakening in a journal published under the title Pathways Through to Space . Franklin grew up in California, the son of a clergyman and graduated Stanford University Phi Beta Kappa in 1911 majoring in mathematics with minors in philosophy and psychology. He did graduate work at Stanford and Harvard. He also taught mathematics briefly at Stanford. At this point, he withdrew from the academic world and began his spiritual search. Franklin does not include much additional personal information in his diary. Thus, this biography is more about spiritual experience and contains less background information on his life. In 1937, Franklin had been studying and meditating on the Indian philosopher Shankaras thought reading his books in English translation. He felt a great affinity with the writings of this sage, and his view of Vedanta. Franklin had also been spending a great deal of time alone as a gold-prospector, and this solitude helped him contemplate and understand the subtle philosophical issues in some depth. He describes his initial spiritual realization as follows:

Heisenberg's Physics And Philosophy
History of QM and Copenhagen Interpretation
http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/ge/heisenb2.htm

Extractions: The History of Quantum Theory The idea that energy could be emitted or absorbed only in discrete energy quanta was so new that it could not be fitted into the traditional framework of physics. An attempt by Planck to reconcile his new hypothesis with the older laws of radiation failed in the essential points. It took five years until the next step could be made in the new direction. This time it was the young Albert Einstein, a revolutionary genius among the physicists, who was not afraid to go further away from the old concepts. There were two problems in which he could make use of the new ideas. One was the so-called photoelectric effect, the emission of electrons from metals under the influence of light. The experiments, especially those of Lenard, had shown that the energy of the emitted electrons did not depend on the intensity of the light, but only on its colour or, more precisely, on its frequency. This could not be understood on the basis of the traditional theory of radiation. Einstein could explain the observations by interpreting Planck's hypothesis as saying that light consists of quanta of energy travelling through space. The energy of one light quantum should, in agreement with Planck's assumptions, be equal to the frequency of the light multiplied by Planck's constant.

Voluntary Euthanasia
A comprehensive entry with background information on the issue.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/euthanasia-voluntary/

Extractions: MAY The entry sets out five individually necessary conditions for anyone to be a candidate for legalised voluntary euthanasia (or, in some usages, physician-assisted suicide), outlines the moral case advanced by those in favour of legalising voluntary euthanasia, and discusses six of the more important objections made by those opposed to the legality of voluntary euthanasia. Our concern will be with voluntary euthanasia that is, with those instances of euthanasia in which a clearly competent person makes a voluntary and enduring request to be helped to die. There shall be occasion to mention non-voluntary euthanasia instances of euthanasia where a person is either not competent to, or unable to, express a wish about euthanasia, and there is no one authorised to make a substituted judgment (wherein a proxy chooses as the no longer competent patient would have chosen had she remained competent) in the context of considering the claim that permitting voluntary euthanasia will lead via a slippery slope to permitting non-voluntary euthanasia. Nothing will be said here about

Fun Is Fine: Toward A Philosophy Of Game Design
Acticle reviewing David Kennerly's philosophy.
http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~kennerly/game_design/fun_is_fine.html

Extractions: Game Design David Kennerly, 22 June 2003. This is by no means the philosophy of game design, but these notions may help an aspiring game designer before he begins his work and in reviewing not just his work but the fitness of his goals. Toward a Philosophy of Game Design What is the Sound of One Hand Designing? A Unique Medium ... Endnotes "[Do not] mistake yourself for an 'artist.' Our goal is to create newer and more fun games. Art is not our goal." Tetsuya Nomura, Final Fantasy character designer The Entertainment versus Art debate flares perennially. These participants may be having fun, but the dichotomy is uniquely inappropriate to games. For example among MMORPGs, to Jessica Mulligan, fun subsumes art ; whereas, to Raph Koster, art subsumes entertainment. I will challenge the dichotomy itself. Crafting fun is the art of the game. To paraphrase Stephen King: Put your game design desk in the corner to remind yourself every day that Art supports Life, not the other way around. By the end of this article, we may disentangle the faulty dichotomy. After reconsidering what we think we know about a game, fun, and art we may come to discover that Nomura
Toward A Buddhist Philosophy Of Science
An essay examining science, technology, and related topics from a Buddhist perspective.
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atrium/8240/

Extractions: Science is the cornerstone of the European-American culture that has transformed the entire globe over the last few centuries. Buddhism is a deeply rooted religious tradition of Asia, now emerging as a powerful global voice. Science and Buddhism both address the nature of human experience, but in quite different ways. Science elaborates and refines a collection of interconnected theories, facts, procedures, and equipment, constituting an ever more powerful tool for working with and in the world. Buddhism focusses more on the mind and how our way of thinking affects our experience. Both science and Buddhism show how everyday appearances arise from underlying structures. By understanding these structures one gains new freedom, to choose among alternatives by working effectively with the cause and effect relations. Science has given us great power to understand and change the world. But this power has also let us create new and bigger problems for ourselves. Without examining how the dynamics of mind underlies our experience, it might seem that the evolutionary path of science and technology is a matter beyond our choice or responsibility. But the profound insights of Buddhism reveal that our perceptions and actions arise in habitual self-reinforcing cycles, and the methods taught in the Buddhist tradition enable us to intervene in these cycles. Science and technology in some form or other, which is to say some way of thinking about and working with the world, are a fundamental dimension of human existence. Modern science has blossomed by driving the refinement of ideas through public debate grounded in clear evidence. Buddhism shows the dynamics underlying any such evolving pattern of experience, and provides tools to open these patterns to boundless freedom and joy.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Stoics And Stoic Philosophy
The Stoic School was founded in 322 B.C. by Zeno of Cittium and existed until the closing of the Athenian schools (A.D. 429).
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14299a.htm

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... S > Stoics amd Stoic Philosophy A B C D ... Z The Stoic School was founded in 322 B.C. by Zeno of Cittium and existed until the closing of the Athenian schools (A.D. 429), (it took the name from the Stoa poikile , the painted hall or colonnade in which the lectures were held.) Its history may be divided into three parts: (1) Ancient Stoicism Middle Stoicism New Stoicism (1) Ancient Stoicism (322-204) eimarmene, logos ); Zeus, or providence, the eternal principle of finality adapting all other things to the needs of rational beings; the law determining the natural rules that govern the society of men and of the gods; the artistic fire, the expression of the active force which produced the world one, perfect, and complete from the beginning, with which it will be reunited through the universal conflagration, following a regular and ever recurring cycle. The popular gods are different forms of this force, described allegorically in myths. This view of nature is the basis for the optimism of the Stoic moral system; confidence in the instinctive faculties, which, in the absence of a perfect knowledge of the world, ought to guide man's actions; and again, the infallible wisdom of the sage, which Chrysippus tries to establish by a dialectic derived from Aristotle and the Cynics. But this optimism requires them to solve the following problems: the origin of the passions and the vices; the conciliation of fate and liberty; the origin of evil in the world. On the last two subjects they propounded, all the arguments that were advanced later up to the time of Leibniz.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cynic School Of Philosophy

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04582a.htm

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... C > Cynic School of Philosophy A B C D ... Z The Cynic School, founded at Athens about 400 B.C., continued in existence until about 200 B.C. It sprang from the ethical doctrine of Socrates regarding the necessity of moderation and self-denial. With this ethical element it combined the dialectical and rhetorical methods of the Eleatics and the Sophists. Both these influences, however, it perverted from their primitive uses; the Socratic ethics was interpreted by the Cynics into a coarse and even vulgar depreciation of knowledge, refinement, and the common decencies, while the methods of the Eleatics and the Sophists became in the hands of the Cynics an instrument of contention (Eristic Method) rather than a means of attaining truth. The Cynic contempt for the refinements and conventions of polite society is generally given as the reason for the name dogs ) by which the first representatives of the school were known. According to some authorities, however, the name Cynic arose from the fact that the first representatives of the school were accustomed to meet in the gymnasium of Cynosarges.
