Explorations in Phenomenology

Papers of the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy

By: David Carr,E.S. Casey

Contrary to popular belief, professional philosophers want and need to be heard. Lacking a large and general public in this country, they turn to audiences of peers and rivals. But these audiences are found either in giant, unfocused professional bodies, or in restrictive groups of specialists. In this respect, the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy can claim a unique role among academic organizations in this country. Now in its tenth year, it has become one of the most important forums in America for the open exchange of ideas. The Society has grown considerably since its founding, and its annual meetings attract scholars in philosophy and other disciplines from across the country and abroad. But these meetings differ markedly from others: too large to be dominated by any single clique or doctrine, they are at the same time small enough to encourage lively discussion within its organized sessions and not just in the corridors outside. The Society derives its focus from the two closely allied philosophical "directions" indicated in its title. Yet from the beginning it has included in its meetings a sizeable number of contributors who are not identified with or even sympathetic to these directions, but are at least willing to engage in a dialogue with those who are. Furthermore, the Society has accomplished to a limited degree something rare indeed in American intellectual life: an interdisciplinary ex- 2 INTRODUCTION change.

Reagan on War

A Reappraisal of the Weinberger Doctrine, 1980-1984

By: Gail E. S. Yoshitani

Even at the time it was announced near the end of the first term of the Reagan administration, such luminaries as William Safire mischaracterized the Weinberger Doctrine as a conservative retreat from the use of force in U.S. international relations. Since that time, scholars have largely agreed with Safire that the six points spelled out in the statement represented a reaction to the Vietnam War and were intended to limit U.S. military action to “only the fun wars” that could be relatively easily won or those in response to direct attack. In this work of extensive original scholarship, military historian Gail Yoshitani argues that the Weinberger Doctrine was intended to legitimize the use of military force as a tool of statecraft, rather than to reserve force for a last resort after other instruments of power have failed. This understanding sheds much clearer light on recent foreign policy decisions, as well as on the formulation and adoption of the original doctrine. With the permission of the family of former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, Yoshitani gained access to Weinberger’s papers at the Library of Congress. She is the first scholar granted access to General (ret.) John Vessey’s archive at the Library, and her security clearance has made it possible for her to read and use a large number of materials still classified as secret or top secret. Yoshitani uses three case studies from the Reagan administration’s first term in office—Central America and two deployments in Lebanon—to analyze how the administration grappled with using military force in pursuit of national interests. Ultimately, the administration codified the lessons it learned during its first term in the Weinberger Doctrine promulgated by Secretary of Defense Weinberger in a speech on November 28, 1984, two weeks after Reagan won reelection in a landslide. Yoshitani carefully considers the Weinberger Doctrine’s six tests to be applied when considering the use of military force as a tool of statecraft. Just as the Reagan administration was forced to dance an intricate step in the early 1980s as it sought to use force as a routine part of statecraft, current and future administrations face similar challenges. Yoshitani’s analysis facilitates a better understanding of the Doctrine and how it might be applied by American national security managers today. This corrective to the common wisdom about the Weinberger Doctrine’s goals and applicability to contemporary issues will appeal not only to diplomatic and military historians, but also to military leaders and general readers concerned about America’s decision making concerning the use of force.

Secrets of Glenmary Farm

By: E. S. Burton

Janice Harmon knows there is more to retirement than sitting in her apartment feeling sorry for herself. Ready for new beginnings and with the help of her son, David, Janice moves to GlenMary Farm, a beautiful, peaceful estate tucked away in the gently rolling hills near Louisville, Kentucky. Yet despite her years and wealth of experience, nothing could have prepared Janice for what was to come. On the seven-hundred-acre estate, the old mansion and the thoroughbred barn have been transformed into a shared residence for senior citizens and emotionally disturbed children. As she settles into the mansion and begins fraternizing with her fellow residents, Janice soon meets young Emily Carpenter and her Arabian horse, Junior. The two strike up a lively conversation, and Janice feels right at home. But that warm feeling is about to disintegrate as she unwittingly becomes involved in unraveling a fourteen-year-old mystery that has already claimed two lives. In this suspenseful tale filled with intrigue and murder, Janice soon discovers that the rippling effect from a violent incident is not only about to shake the very foundation of her belief in herself, but also her faith in her fellow man.

A Journey Round John

Tradition, Interpretation and Context in the Fourth Gospel

By: Wendy E. S. North

In A Journey Round John Wendy E. S. North considers a range of themes relevant to the interpretation of the Fourth Gospel. First, the relationship between the Gospel and 1 John. North explores the value of the Epistle as a means of identifying traditional material the evangelist knew; on which basis she appeals to 1 John to account for the form of Jesus' prayer in chapter 11. Second, John's Christology in which North looks to John's cultural roots in monotheistic Judaism to understand his capacity to align Jesus with God. Third, the crucial issue of 'the Jews' in John, where North clarifies the data by observing a narrative logic in John's use of the expression. Fourth, North identifies John's 'anticipated' eschatology as a consolation strategy aimed at a readership struggling under life-threatening circumstances in the absence of Jesus. Finally, North looks at John and the Synoptics, and demonstrates how evidence drawn from the Gospel itself can serve to indicate whether or not John composed directly on the basis of the Synoptic record. This collection draws together a number of ground-breaking studies from over thirty years of work on the Fourth Gospel, presenting a coherent development of thought on this crucial Christian text.

The Lazarus Story within the Johannine Tradition

By: Wendy E. S. North

This historical-critical study of the Gospel of John and the First Epistle of John challenges the commonly held view that the first Johannine epistle is related to the Gospel. Sproston argues that the two writings are indirectly related through a common Johannine tradition. A comparison of the two therefore allows traditional material in the evangelist's work to be isolated, enhancing our understanding of the creative processes involved in its composition. The account of the raising of Lazarus is rigorously analysed as a test case for this kind of analysis.

Medical Waste Incineration and Pollution Prevention

Medical Waste Incineration and Pollution Prevention

By: Alex E.S. Green

The annual cost of medical care in the U niled States is rapidly approaching a trillion dollars. Without doubt, much of the rise in costs is due to our health industry's concentration on high technology remediation and risk avoidance measures. From recent public discussions it is becoming in creasingly evident that to contain the costs and at the same time extend the benefits of health care without national bankruptcy will necessitate much greater attention to preventative medicine. The total cost of waste disposal by our health industry is well over a billion dollars. It is rising rapidly as we increasingly rely on high technol ogy remediation measures. Here, too, in the opinion of the authors of this work, it would be prudent to give much greater attention to preventative approaches. Incineration technology has largely been developed for disposing mu nicipal solid waste (MSW) and hazardous waste (HW). As a result of the multibillion dollar funding for the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), most experts believe that pollution control is the key to minimizing toxic emissions from incinerators. This view is now beginning to take hold in medical waste (MW) incineration as well. However, the authors contributing to this book have concluded that precombustion measures can be most effective in reducing the toxic products of medical waste incineration.

Strategic Taxation

Fiscal Capacity and Accountability in African States

By: Lucy E. S. Martin

Strategic Taxation

Fiscal Capacity and Accountability in African States

By: Lucy E. S. Martin

Across the developing world, governments still lack the fiscal capacity to fund critical public goods, alleviate poverty, and invest in economic development. Yet, we know little about how to effectively build strong states in these settings. This book develops and tests a new theory to explain why fiscal capacity in African states is low. Drawing on work in psychology and behavioral economics, this book argues that taxation leads citizens to demand more from leaders as they seek to recover lost income from taxation. It then argues that governments' willingness to tax will depend on the extent to which they can satisfy citizens' demands while maintaining rent extraction. Rent-seeking leaders of low-capacity states will strategically underinvest in fiscal capacity in order to avoid the higher demands they face under taxation. Contrary to many existing theories, Martin shows that this can actually lead to lower taxation in democracies compared to autocracies, as citizen accountability demands pose a bigger threat to rulers. The book uses multiple empirical approaches to test the theory. Laboratory experiments in Uganda and Ghana, combined with Afrobarometer data, demonstrate that taxation increases citizens' demands on leaders. Global cross-national panel data show that democracy can actually lead to lower taxation in low-capacity states. When taxation is sustainable, however, it is associated with better governance. Case studies in Uganda, based on the author's own fieldwork and original survey data, provide additional support for the theory. These findings provide new framework for understanding the challenges to building state capacity, especially fiscal capacity, in modern developing countries.

The Political Economy of Underdevelopment in Sub-Saharan Africa

By: Christopher E.S. Warburton

This book provides a unique combination of history, politics, and economics to rationalize the progression of underdevelopment in Sierra Leone, and the challenges of economic growth and development confronting some Sub-Saharan African countries. It concisely presents the internal frictions that are most responsible for the underdevelopment of Sierra Leonean since 1961, while also benchmarking the performance of the country with some countries in the subregion, Europe, the US, Latin America, and Asia. It highlights the external threats that are highly capable of stifling the economic growth and sustainable development of the country, including sovereign debt, the paucity of human capital, the use of natural resources, and external shocks. The central concepts of analysis include the premise for underdevelopment, contexts for business strategies and rivalry in an underdeveloped economy, economic growth, productivity, sustainable development, international trade, and threats to macroeconomic stability in the form of volatile commodity prices, loss of competitiveness, inaccessible foreign markets, deficient healthcare infrastructure, the cost of unsustainable sovereign debt, and the viability of long-term investments. The book has been intentionally developed for all those who are strongly interested in the political economy of Sub-Saharan Africa (with particular emphasis on Sierra Leone), empirical work on economic growth and development, academic instruction on international political economy, international organizations, and policymakers.

By: E. S. Lorenz,D. E. Dortch

SPIRIT AND LIFE." Perhaps a presumptuous title, but the authors feel that this collection of songs will bring enthusiasm and vigor into any Sunday school or church service where it may be used, so that in the ordinary sense of the words the title is not an inappropriate one. We trust, however, that our songs will also bring the deeper, truer blessing of the SPIRIT AND LIFE: that abide in the words of Christ... -from the Preface Subtitled "A Collection of Songs for the Sunday School, Young People's Societies, Devotional Meetings, and Revival Services," this hymnal, dating from 1894, features a glorious selection of graceful, prayerful hymns, some written by the authors: . "How You Grow" celebrate children . "The Christmas Bells" rings with the sounds of the holiday . "There's a Light at the River" lends hope in difficult times . "In the Newness of Life" rejoices in the trust of Jesus . and many more. Complete with sheet music and lyrics, these beautiful songs continue to inspire faith and exult in the Lord. OF INTEREST TO: performers of devotional music AUTHOR BIO: EDMUND SIMON LORENZ (1854-1942) and DAVID ELIJAH DORTCH (b. 1851) wrote numerous books on church music; Lorenz founded the Lorenz Music Publishing Company of Dayton, Ohio.

Two Ways Home

By: E. S. Burton

The old MacNeill mansion, located in the heart of thoroughbred horse country outside Englishton, Kentucky, has recently been converted to a senior citizens home. Janice Harmon, a resident of GlenMary House, is happy that life has finally returned back to normal after the murder of John Carpenter. But what Janice does not know is that tragedy is about to strike again. When fellow resident Annabel Douglas passes away, the last thing Janice suspects is that shes been murdered. But when the sheriff tells her that Annabel was drugged and asphyxiated, she soon realizes they are all suspects. It seems impossible that one of the senior citizens could have committed the crime, and even more unlikely that her young friend and mansion inheritress, Emily Carpenter, is guilty. Yet, they all had a motiveand an opportunity. As the list of suspects grows to include Winifred Peale, her best friend and mistress of Carrie Creek Farm, Janice must rely on Chief Inspector Simon Hollingsworth to help her come up with the answer before GlenMary House is forced to close its doors forever. In this gripping tale, an amateur sleuth must solve yet another complex mystery after a fellow resident in her senior citizen home is murdered.

Intensive Care

Intensive Care

By: E.S. Jones

A comprehensive text of intensive care would readily fill the equivalent of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. This is because the diseases treated are both numerous and varied; thus the patient can be medical, surgical, trauma or obstetric. It follows that the sum total of knowledge which needs to be available is truly encyclopaedic. This compact volume represents only a fragment of such information. The contributors were chosen because of their experience and because their methods were well-tried. The text therefore summarizes the best of current therapy and includes the controversial. The contributors come from four countries, adding an international flavour. One topic - The Recovery Room - outside the confines of intensive care has been included for two reasons. The recovery room is an important but neglected aspect of care, and it also seems important to define its relationships with the intensive care unit. It is hoped that the book will help the nurses and doctors involved in intensive care and, therefore, the patient. ERIC SHERWOOD JONES Vll Contributors P. M. ASHWORTH K.
