The idea of a transcendent GodMcLean, Murdith January 1972 (has links)
'Transcend' comes from the Latin 'tran(s)cendere': 'to climb over or beyond, surmount.' Obsolete uses of 'transcend' reflect this origin, having to do with the surmounting of some obstacle. 'A transcends B' has also been used to imply the relative superiority of A to B. 'Transcendent' has had a technical use in philosophy, where it tends to represent that which falls outside the bounds of some standard classification. Running through the various senses of 'transcendent' is the idea of surmounting limits of various kinds. These may be spoken of in a 'neutral' or a 'loaded' way. In the loaded sense, limits constitute relative disabilities; in which case we are apt to call them 'limitations' . In general, transcendence has to do with rising above limits or limitations. Talk of divine transcendence broadly accords with this. God's being 'above', independent of and distinct from the world, may be construed as his being; unbounded in many ways that the world and its parts are bounded.

Achievements, value, and God : an essay on the cognitive success of religious knowledgeBolos, Anthony David January 2013 (has links)
Recent literature in religious epistemology has overlooked a significant debate in mainstream epistemology. In short, theories in religious epistemology have failed to consider the value problem. This essay, then, hopes to rectify this omission by arguing that one of the most influential accounts of religious epistemology - reformed epistemology - fails to adequately account for the value of knowledge. I argue, however, that a reasonable way out for the reformed epistemologist comes by way of endorsing the achievement thesis. The achievement thesis, put simply, states that knowledge is valuable because it is a cognitive achievement - unlike, for example, mere true belief. The central question of this essay, then, is this: Is Knowledge of God a Cognitive Achievement? In order to better answer this question I highlight two different ways in which one can understand the nature of cognitive achievements. First, a cognitive achievement can be understood as success from ability that is always primarily creditable to the agent. Or, second, a cognitive achievement can be understood as success from ability that is jointly creditable to the agent. Both, I argue, are compatible with knowledge and the achievement thesis. Whether knowledge of God is primarily or jointly creditable, however, will depend on the way in which one understands the role the agent plays in the belief forming process. Given the nature of reformed epistemology, I argue that knowledge of God is the kind of achievement that is jointly creditable. Further, and central to the argument, I argue that the reformed epistemologist is in a good position to meet the requirements for the strong achievement thesis. The strong achievement thesis argues that an achievement should be understood in terms of overcoming some obstacle whereby the agent's belief is the result of some ability that can be credited to the agent. The account I propose not only meets the requirements of the strong achievement thesis, but also retains a distinctive feature of reformed epistemology - namely, that the belief in God can be said to overcome the obstacle of cognitive malfunction that, as the reformed epistemologist argues, is brought about by sin. It's an achievement becasue it overcomes an excessively hostile environment (what I call the maxi-environment) that is not conducive to belief in God given the cognitive consequence of sin. In the end, it is possible to provide an account of reformed epistemology where the value of knowledge (over and above mere true belief) is adequately demonstrated.

Teaching grade fives to ask investigable questions in scienceGarlick, Robyn January 2005 (has links)
This study was conducted during the first year of the implementation of the Revised National Curriculum Statement (RNCS) in Grade Five in South Africa. It is compulsory for teachers to implement the RNCS in this country. Investigations play a central role in learning in science education, and this study focuses on the Assessment Standard of Learning Outcome 1 in the Natural Sciences Learning Area that relates to children's abilities to ask questions that they can investigate themselves. Children struggle to formulate questions that can be used for investigations, and so they need to be taught how to do this. However, there is a paucity of research literature providing empirical evidence of how to teach children to ask investigable science questions. The aim of this study was to provide empirical data on the use of the teaching strategies suggested in the research literature, that is, to investigate which strategies science teachers use in teaching children how to ask questions that can be used in science investigations.

Cannabinoid Receptor Type 2 (CB2) Dependent and Independent Effects of WIN55,212-2 on Atherosclerosis in Ldlr-null MiceNetherland-Van Dyke, Courtney, Rodgers, Ward, Fulmer, Makenzie, Lahr, Zachary, Thewke, Douglas 01 July 2015 (has links)
PURPOSE: WIN55,212-2, a potent synthetic agonist of cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2), reduces atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E (ApoE) null mice. Although pharmacologic evidence suggests the anti-atherosclerotic effects of WIN55,212-2 are mediated CB2, this remains to be confirmed by genetic studies. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of WIN55,212-2 on development of atherosclerosis in low-density lipoprotein receptor (Ldlr) null mice with and without homozygous deletion of the CB2 gene. METHODS: After 6 weeks on an atherogenic diet, groups of CB2 and CB2 Ldlr-null mice received a daily intraperitoneal injection of WIN55,212-2 or vehicle. After two weeks, plasma lipid levels and atherosclerosis in the aortic root were quantified. RESULTS: Plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels did not differ between CB2 and CB2 mice and WIN55,212-2 had no effect on total cholesterol levels in either genotype. However, triglyceride levels in both CB2 and CB2 mice were significantly lowered by WIN55,212-2. The size of aortic root lesions did not differ significantly between CB2 and CB2 mice with or without WIN55,212-2 treatment. However, WIN55,212-2 treatment significantly lowered lesional macrophage accumulation in CB2 mice, and lesional smooth muscle content in both CB2 and CB2 mice. Lesional apoptosis was also greater in CB2 mice compared to CB2mice, and only reduced by WIN55,212-2 in CB2 mice. Collagen content and elastin fiber fragmentation were unaffected by genotype or WIN55,212-2. CONCLUSIONS: WIN55,212-2 treatment does not alter lesion size in Ldlr null-mice, but does modify lesion cellularity CB2-dependent and CB2-independent mechanisms.
