The general metaphysics of William Ernest HockingGilman, Richard C. January 1952 (has links)
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University. / This dissertation is an investigation in the general metaphysics of William Ernest Hocking. The attempt is made to expound and evaluate his metaphysical system as a whole, rather than to center attention on any single aspect of it in particular. Thus, the concern is with the basic metaphysical issues of the experience, knowledge, and nature of ultimate reality, considered primarily in the context of man's relationship to that which is most real.
Although there have been several studies of various aspects of Hocking's philosophy, particularly in mysticism and the philosophy of religion, there have been no previous comprehensive investigations of his metaphysics as such. The method of procedure in this dissertation has been to concentrate primarily on Hocking's own writings, with such attention to other thinkers as may have been necessary for clearer expression and comment.

Theoretical and practical aspects of ecumenical communicationCate, William Burke January 1953 (has links)
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University. / Theoretical and practical aspects of ecumenical communication is the subject of this research. It is an effort to discover the role of theoretical and practical communication in the ecumenical movement. This is an important study because at this moment the newly founded World Council of Churches, which is the institutional form of the ecumenical movement, must determine its future strategy. Questions arise as to whether activity in life and work or in faith and order or in both at the same time will ensure the growth of ecumenical understanding among the churches. In order to understand this we must comprehend the role of the doctrinal and the non-doctrinal factors in ecumenical communication.
The method of this dissertation is to reconstruct in four chapters the historical development of the ecumenical movement through the four contributing channels; the International Missionary Council, the Faith and Order Movement, the Life and Work Movement and the Federal Council of Churches. This will provide the historical perspective and the basic data of the research. The second section of the dissertation, which comprises five chapters, analyzes communication in the ecumenical movement from the point of view of the doctrinal and the noon-doctrinal factors. Chapters V and VI are dedicated to the analysis of the doctrinal and non-doctrinal barriers to ecumenical communication. The next two chapters reveal the role of the doctrinal and non-doctrinal communication that builds the ecumenical community. The final chapter is devoted to the summary and conclusions.

The problem of death anxiety in relation to ChristianityLeslie, James Stewart January 1955 (has links)
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University. / Two problems are dealt with in this dissertation. The first is that of understanding the meaning of death anxiety, discovering its causes, and determining the means whereby it can be relieved. The second problem is to discover the relationship of death anxiety to Christianity by exploring the Christian theory of death, and by seeking to discover whether Christianity can make a distinct contribution to dealing successfully with anxiety about death. The dissertation premises a belief in immortality and does not seek to prove or disprove it.
Death anxiety is a universal concern which is repressed into the unconscious, being too threatening to be dealt with by the conscious mind. Its possible emergence into one's consciousness is deterred by a complicated system of customs and emotions shielding the individual from the menacing thoughts of his eventual fate.
