| | 222 | Author: | unknown | Add | | | Title: | Dictionary of the History of Ideas  | | | | Published: | 2008 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | The term “abstraction” is the
usual expression in medi- eval philosophical
terminology for several processes distinguished in Aristotle's writings by
different terms, viz., aphairesis
(ἄφαιρεσις)
and korismos
(χωρισμός)
described in different ways. In all probability, it was Boethius who
introduced the Latin abstractio and
abstrahere to translate these Greek nouns and the re- lated verbs. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 224 | Author: | unknown | Add | | | Title: | Dictionary of the History of Ideas | | | | Published: | 2008 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | The concept of despotism is perhaps the least known
of that family which includes tyranny, autocracy,
absolutism, dictatorship (in its modern usage), and
totalitarianism. Although nearly contemporary with
“tyranny,” the concept of despotism has not been as
significant in the history of political thought. Never-
theless at some times, and in the work of some of the
greatest political philosophers, the concept of des-
potism has been sharply distinguished from other
members of its family, and has attained an unusual
prominence, as when Montesquieu made it into one
of the three fundamental types of government. It was
in the eighteenth century, and particularly in France,
that despotism supplanted tyranny as the term most
often used to characterize a system of total domination,
as distinguished from the exceptional abuse of power
by a ruler. The temporary success of the term led to
its conflation with tyranny, as in the Declaration of
Independence where in successive sentences, “absolute
Despotism” and “absolute Tyranny” are used as syno-
nyms. In 1835 Tocqueville expressed the opinion that
after the French Revolution, modern politics and soci-
ety had taken on a character that rendered both con-
cepts inadequate. Today their usage suggests archaism:
controversies over twentieth-century forms of total
domination have centered on the concepts of dictator-
ship and totalitarianism. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 225 | Author: | unknown | Add | | | Title: | Dictionary of the History of Ideas | | | | Published: | 2008 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | Psychology is a modern term, but its components,
psyche and logos, are words whose history goes back
to the Indo-European parent language. For the philos-
ophers of classical antiquity, giving an “account”
(logos) of the psyche was a necessary part of intellectual
inquiry. Greek philosophy was vitally concerned with
many of the problems which exercise modern
psychologists, but did not regard “study of the mind”
as an autonomous subject with specific terms of refer-
ence. Frequently theories about the psyche were
intimately connected with ethical, physical, and meta-
physical assumptions. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 227 | Author: | Mill, John Stuart | Add | | | Title: | The Subjection of Women / by John Stuart Mill | | | | Published: | 2001 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | The object of this Essay is to explain as clearly as I am able grounds
of an opinion which I have held from the very earliest period when I had
formed any opinions at all on social political matters, and which, instead
of being weakened or modified, has been constantly growing stronger by the
progress reflection and the experience of life. That the principle which
regulates the existing social relations between the two sexes -- the legal
subordination of one sex to the other -- is wrong itself, and now one of
the chief hindrances to human improvement; and that it ought to be replaced
by a principle of perfect equality, admitting no power or privilege on the
one side, nor disability on the other. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
