A comparative study of the social philosophies of John Dewey and Bernard Bosanquet

Feinberg, Walter January 1965 (has links)
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / PLEASE NOTE: Boston University Libraries did not receive an Authorization To Manage form for this thesis or dissertation. It is therefore not openly accessible, though it may be available by request. If you are the author or principal advisor of this work and would like to request open access for it, please contact us at open-help@bu.edu. Thank you. / The problem of this dissertation is first to examine the form and the rationale for pluralism in the social philosophy of John Dewey; second, to inspect the adequacy of this rationale; and third, to see whether the social philosophy of Bernard Bosanquet provides a supplementation of Dewey's view. In this examination, pluralism is seen as that form of society in which differences are both maintained and unified. Thus pluralism is found as a mean existing somewhere between individualism which is the assertion of differences and absolutism which, as Dewey sees it, is the assertion of the unity. The examination of ground and difference is concerned with that in virtue of which differences may be said to constitute a society. Because pluralism is an attempt to maintain a balance between individualism and absolutism, the dissertation undertakes an examination of Dewey's criticism of both these extremes. It sees in this critique a rejection of social theories which attempt to restrict differences by pre-determining for a person both his nature and his social role. The critique applies especially well to absolutism with its limited categories. Individualism arises as a reaction to absolutism and to the failure of absolutism in social theory to accommodate various social and environmental changes. Yet, for Dewey, individualism is an overreaction. It abstracts a person from the specific social situations in which he is found and thus attempts to state the nature of individuals as such prior to examining the nature of specific individuals in specific situations. After examining Dewey's critique of absolutism and individualism, the dissertation considers Dewey's own social theory. Here it analyzes the social nature of the whole-part relationship as Dewey sees it, and describes the way in which a person is determined by his group memberships as well as the way in which individual differences may be supported or retarded by these memberships. Included in this treatment is an examination of the role of the state as it arises to control the indirect consequences of acts, i.e. to protect the interest of those who, while not the agents of an act, do suffer some of its consequences. The dissertation points out that the state, as such, has, for Dewey, no normative connotation. It becomes a good state when those affected in this way i.e. the public are organized and thus are able to participate in controlling these consequences. / 2031-01-01

A GEOGRAPHICAL STUDY OF BOSANQUET TOWNSHIP

Washington, John 02 1900 (has links)
The purpose of the thesis is to explain the physical characteristics of Bosanquet township and to show their relationships to each other and to those who have occupied this part of the world for the last one hundred and thirty years. The "drowned lands" within Bosanquet are considered a paradise for the botanist, and Rock Glen is a veritable treasure chest of fossil finds for the exploring geologist. But it is the entire land area of the township that is so fascinating to the geographer because it is so complicated and diverse. There are no less than five different shorelines, including the present one of Lake Huron, eight different physiographic regions, and at least nineteen different soil types. It thus becomes a challenge to the geographer to see if man’s present use of the land reflects the history and natural phenomena of the area. To begin this difficult task the author carried out field work during the summer months and produced the Land Use map found inside the rear cover. During the autumn and winter months the work of many experts from various fields of learning was read and data concerning the area was compiled. The plan of the thesis is the presentation of the physical geography followed by the human geography of settlement. Then comes the writer’s views on the current land use, both agricultural and non-agricultural, and after a look at the urban geography of the study region, the writer comes to certain conclusions concerning the effect of man on this little segment of the earth’s surface. / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)

Church and chapel : parish ministry and Methodism in Madeley, c.1760-1785, with special reference to the ministry of John Fletcher

Wilson, David January 2010 (has links)
This thesis examines the ministry of John Fletcher (1729-85), vicar of Madeley, Shropshire (vic. 1760-85) as a case study on the Church of England and Methodism in the eighteenth century. Studies of Fletcher have tended to focus either on his contribution to Methodist theology or on his designation as Wesley's successor as the leader of the Methodists. The parish of Madeley has been, for the most part, peripheral to Fletcher studies. The present thesis, however, has aimed to examine Fletcher in his parochial context; to study both what the parish tells us about Fletcher, but also what Fletcher tells us about the parish, and more specifically, about the church in the eighteenth century in a local context. The main argument of this thesis is that Fletcher's ministry at Madeley was representative of a variation of a pro-Anglican Methodism--localized, centred upon the parish church, and rooted in the Doctrines and Liturgy of the Church of England. Three recent publications have provided a triad for understanding Fletcher: (1) in his industrial context; (2) in his theological context; and (3), in his relationship with leaders in the Evangelical Revival. This thesis has sought to examine a fourth component: Fletcher's work as an ordained clergyman of the Church of England, that is, in his ecclesial and ministerial context. The main body of the thesis focuses on two primary aspects of Fletcher's parish ministry: his stated duties and his diligence in carrying out other responsibilities and meeting other needs which arose, including addressing the various tensions which developed during his incumbency. Fletcher's background and his call to parochial ministry as well as the religious history of Madeley are outlined first (Chapter 1). There are three chapters which examine his performance of stated duties: worship services and preaching (Chapter 2); pastoral care andeducation (Chapter 5); and confrontation of erroneous doctrine (Chapter 6). Fletcher's ministry also included a scheme of church extension, represented primarily by his development of religious societies on which other aspects of his parochial duty built (Chapter 3). His evangelicalism and commitment to his parish simultaneously raised tensions between Fletcher and his parishioners (provoked by his 'enthusiasm' or zeal), and between Fletcher and John Wesley, whose variations of Methodism had similar aims, but different models of practice. A chapter is devoted specifically to these issues (Chapter 4).Fletcher's chapel meetings formed an auxiliary arm of the church, operating as outposts throughout his parish. His parishioners considered his ministerial model a 'Methodist' one even though it was not technically part of Wesley's Connexion (other than the fact that his itinerants were guests in the parish). In all, it is the conclusion of this thesis that Fletcher's pastoral ministry represents some of the best work of Anglicanism in the eighteenth century, demonstrating that despite the manifest challenges of industrializing society, residual dissent, and competition from the church's rivals, the Establishment was not incapable of competing in the religious marketplace.
