American Public Administration: A Foundation for Praxis and PraxiologyMcCann, Lluana 30 January 2008 (has links)
American Public Administration (PA) theory and practices have lacked adequately articulated or formalized normative foundations since the formal founding of the American State. Discussions regarding how PA theory derives from individual and collective critical reflection on practices (praxiology) and how that knowledge can inform future actions (praxis) virtually have been absent in all organizations. The recognition of the political legitimacy of PA has been lacking. The placing of a viable and critical social theory that posits conscious, responsible, and committed human practices within the context of the administration of the American Constitutional State, a politically narrow context, has been lacking as well. This dissertation establishes the works of social theorists Orion White, Jr., Michael Harmon, Robert Denhardt and Bayard Catron as the foundation for understanding how individuals do and can contribute to the collective administration of the complex state, including how they operate daily in organizations they join, critique and are capable of changing. These scholars understand the dynamics of human being and present discussions of human actions and practices that are capable of tackling the challenges associated with administering the American State. The work of John Rohr has established the other missing links—the constitutional legitimacy of PA and the clarification of constitutional values to which American administrative actions and knowledge must adhere. This dissertation asserts that it is the placing of human theory and action within the distinctly American theory and practices of the State that constitutes the solid normative foundations for American PA Praxis and Praxiology that constitutes a viable and formal founding of American Public Administration in word and deed. / Ph.

Les bases philosophiques du positivisme juridique de H.L.A. Hart / The philosophical foundations of H.L.A. Hart’s legal positivismBligh, Grégory 07 December 2016 (has links)
Cette thèse cherche à reconstituer les bases philosophiques de la pensée juridique de H.L.A. Hart (1907-1992), figure majeure du positivisme juridique anglo-saxon au XXe siècle, et professeur de jurisprudence à l'université d'Oxford de 1952 à 1968. Ses travaux demeurent largement méconnus en France.Dégager les sources philosophiques du « positivisme analytique » de Hart permettra, premièrement, de reconstruire le dialogue entre le juriste d'Oxford et certaines figures importantes de la théorie du droit continentale. Hart oppose d’importantes critiques à certaines formes continentales de positivisme juridique, comme le normativisme de Hans Kelsen ou le réalisme scandinave d'Alf Ross. Cependant, cette thèse montrera également qu'il est possible d'établir des rapprochements étroits entre la pensée de Hart et celle du juriste francophone Chaïm Perelman. L'étude des bases philosophiques de la pensée juridique de Hart offre ainsi des points de contact intéressants entre ces différentes cultures juridiques.Deuxièmement, cette thèse cherche à faire ressortir l'influence déterminante de la philosophie du langage ordinaire qui se développa à Oxford au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Notre propos s'appuiera notamment sur un « premier corpus » de textes philosophiques publiés avant son accession à la chaire de jurisprudence en 1952, ainsi que sur les travaux préparatoires à son ouvrage The Concept of Law (1961). Nous défendons l'idée que ses prises de position philosophiques se retrouvent dans sa réflexion juridique et permettent de comprendre la cohérence de son œuvre, ainsi que la forme d'empirisme juridique qui sous-tend sa conception de la notion de Constitution. / This thesis bears on the implicit epistemology and methodological considerations underlying the legal philosophy of H.L.A. Hart (1907-1992), the major representative of XXth century legal positivism in the English speaking world, and Oxford chair of jurisprudence (1952-1968). His work remains little known in France.We will seek to answer the view that Hart might not really have been durably influenced by ordinary language philosophy. We will address these questions by examining a corpus of earlier (overlooked) articles which he published as a young Oxford linguistic philosopher. This “early work” consists of the articles which Hart published before he in was elected to the Oxford chair of jurisprudence. Our view is that the work in general philosophy which he did in this early period is crucial to understand some of the positions which he defends in his legal writings. This thesis will thus show that Hart was active in the epistemological debate opposing the Oxford philosophers and the British representatives of logical atomism and logical empiricism. It will also show that these early positions are carried over into his later jurisprudence, including his major work The Concept of Law (1961).Shedding light on these philosophical foundations of Hart’s legal theory will ultimately allow us to reconstruct the debate opposing his own “analytical positivism” and Continental forms of positivism, such as Hans Kelsen’s normativism or Alf Ross Scandinavian legal realism. It will also allow us to draw important parallels between Hartian legal theory and that of the francophone philosopher Chaïm Perelman.

Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: Nas Meditações, Descartes faz uso de todos os argumentos céticos imagináveis com o objetivo de abalar as crenças em que se baseia a visão natural de mundo e descobrir se há alguma verdade infensa à dúvida. Após constatar a existência indubitável do eu pensante e determinar sua natureza, Descartes procura salvar, por meio da demonstração da existência de um Deus veraz, o valor objetivo das idéias sensíveis. Neste trabalho, partindo da premissa de que o único subjetivismo autêntico é originário de uma dúvida cética como a cartesiana, investigaremos a hipótese de que tal solo da subjetividade é desprovido de sentido porque a atitude crítica de avaliação do conhecimento de que ele resulta pressupõe uma ordem de generalização e de abrangência naturalmente insustentáveis. Para tanto, utilizaremos a crítica de Schlick e Carnap às proposições externas (globais). Com efeito, a dúvida cartesiana não diz respeito a uma parcela do mundo, mas ao mundo em sua totalidade. O problema estaria na extensão da dúvida e no caráter espiritual atribuído ao ego. De maneira análoga, o conceito de um Deus metafísico (indiferente aos elementos do sistema do mundo empírico) estaria sujeito à mesma acusação de falta de sentido formulada por Schlick-Carnap / Abstract: In his Meditations, Descartes employs all imaginable skeptical arguments in order to shake the beliefs that ground the natural worldview and to find if there is some truth beyond doubt. After discovering the indubitable existence of the thinking self and determining its nature, Descartes tries to save, by demonstrating the existence of a truthful God, the objective value of sensible ideas. In this work, assuming that the only genuine subjectivism comes from a skeptical doubt like Descartes', we will investigate the hypothesis that such subjectivism is devoid of any sense, because the critical attitude of evaluation of knowledge from where it results presupposes a naturally unsustainable generalization and scope. In order to do that, we will employ the critique of external (global) propositions developed by Schlick and Carnap. Indeed, the Cartesian doubt is not related to a part of the world, but to the world as whole. The problem would lie in the extent of doubt and in the spiritual character assigned to the ego. In the same way, the concept of a metaphysical God, indifferent to the elements of the empirical framework, would be subjected to the same accusation of lack of sense formulated by Schlick-Carnap / Mestrado / Filosofia / Mestre em Filosofia

Concepts of the 'Scientific Revolution': An analysis of the historiographical appraisal of the traditional claims of the scienceOnyekachi Nnaji, John 12 June 2013 (has links)
´Scientific revolution´, as a concept, is both ´philosophically general´ and ´historically unique´. Both dual-sense of the term alludes to the occurrence of great changes in science. The former defines the changes in science as a continual process while the latter designate them, particularly, as the ´upheaval´ which took place during the early modern period. This research aims to demonstrate how the historicists´ critique of the justification of the traditional claims of science on the basis of the scientific processes and norms of the 16th and 17th centuries, illustrates the historical/local determinacy of the science claims. It argues that their identification of the contextual and historical character of scientific processes warrants a reconsideration of our notion of the universality of science. It affirms that the universality of science has to be sought in the role of such sources like scientific instruments, practical training and the acquisition of methodological routines / "Revolución científica", como concepto, se refiere a la vez a algo «filosóficamente general» e « históricamente único". Ambos sentidos del término aluden a la ocurrencia de grandes cambios en la ciencia. El primero define los cambios en la ciencia como un proceso continuo, mientras que el último los designa, en particular, como la "transformación", que tuvo lugar durante la Edad Moderna. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo demostrar cómo la crítica de los historicistas a la justificación de las características tradicionales de la ciencia sobre la base de los procesos y normas científicos de los siglos XVI y XVII, ilustra la determinación histórica y local de los atributos de la ciencia. Se argumenta que la identificación del carácter contextual e histórico de los procesos científicos justifica una reconsideración de nuestra noción de la universalidad de la ciencia. Se afirma que la universalidad de la ciencia se ha de buscar en el papel de tales fuentes como instrumentos científicos, la formación práctica y la adquisición de rutinas metodológicas

Teachers' perceptions and enactment of inquiry- based teaching to stimulate learner interest in scienceMkandla, Justice 22 February 2021 (has links)
Abstracts in English, Afrikaans and Zulu / This qualitative, single high school case-study conveniently sampled eight natural
sciences teachers and, after conducting lesson observations and document analysis,
interviewed all participants to obtain their perceptions about the effectiveness of inquirybased
teaching in motivating learners to specialise in sciences. The major finding was
that most participants were sceptical about inquiry-based teaching. Participants from a
behaviourist epistemology did not believe that learner motivation resulted from inquirybased
teaching while those from an eclectic epistemology preferred a complementary
use of both approaches. The few participants oriented towards inquiry acknowledged the
link between learner motivation and inquiry-based teaching but faced the challenge of
limited time to prepare all the apparatus and procedures required for inquiry-based
teaching. This researcher recommends employing laboratory assistants to assist
teachers with setting up apparatus for inquiry-based lessons, trimming some content to
reduce overload in the Annual Teaching Plans (ATP), and in-service training on inquirybased
teaching to develop learner interest in sciences. / Hierdie kwalitatiewe gevallestudie het agt natuurwetenskap onderwysers betrek en na
leswaarnemings en dokumentanalise, is onderhoude met die deelnemers gevoer om hul
sienings te bekom oor die bydrae van die ondersoek-gebaseerde konstruktivistiese
benadering as ’n strategie om leerders te motiveer om in wetenskap-verwante vakke te
spesialiseer. Die belangrikste bevindings was dat die deelnemers logiese positivistiese
en eklektiese benaderings verkies; dat hulle skepties is oor ondersoek-gebaseerde
onderrig en dat hulle nie leerder motivering aan onderwysbenaderings koppel nie. Daar
was egter enkele deelnemers wat wel ondersoekend onderrig het en wat leerder
belangstelling in wetenskap aan ondersoek-gebaseerde onderrig gekoppel het. Op
grond van die data wat verkry is, beveel hierdie navorser aan dat laboratoriumassistente
aangestel moet word om onderwysers by te staan met die opstel van apparaat vir
ondersoek-gebaseerde lesse; dat spesifieke modelle van ondersoek in die “CAPS”-
dokument ingesluit word; dat inhoud afgeskaal moet word om oorlading in die jaarlikse onderrigplanne (ATP) te verminder, en dat voor- en indiensopleiding aan onderwysers oor ondersoek-gebaseerde onderrig verskaf word as ‘n manier om die belangstelling van
die leerders in die wetenskappe te prikkel. / Lesisifundo socwaningo esenziwe esikoleni esisodwa samabanga aphakeme lwakhetha
othisha beSayensi Yemvelo (NS) abayisishiyagalombili ukuze kwazakale ukuthi
bayibona kanjani indlela yokufundisa iSayensi ngophenyo (inquiry-based teaching)
ehlose ukukhuphula intshisekelo yabafundi kwiSayensi. Ngemuva kokubona othisha
beSayensi befundisa, lomcwaningi wahlaziya incwadi eziphathelene nokufundiswa
kohlelo lwe CAPS, waphinde wenza izingxoxo nabothisha. Okumqoka okutholakale
kuloluphenyo kube ukuthi iningi lababambe iqhaza, abakhuthalela ukufundisa ngendlela
egxile kuthisha (logical positivism) bangabaza ukuthi abafundi bafunde bephenya njalo
abakubonanga ukuxhumana kwenzindlela zokufundisa nokunyuka kwentshiseko yabafundi ezifundweni ze Sayensi. Ababambiqhaza abahlanganisa indlela yokufundisa
egxile kuthisha ne ndlela yokufundisa ngophenyo (eclectic) bakholelwa ukuthi indlela
yokufundisa egxile kuthisa nendlela yokuthi abafundi bafunde bephenya, kuyomela
zisetshenziswe zombili. Kwatholakala ingcosana yabothisha eyenelisa ukufundisa
isayensi ngendlela yophenyo eyayisezingeni eliphansi njalo yaqinisekisa ukuthi bukhona
ubudlelwano phakathi kwendlela zokufundisa nokunyusa intshiseko yabafundi kwi
Sayensi. Ngokolwazi olutholakele, lolucwaningo luncome ukusebenzisa abasizi
basemagunjini okusebenzela ososayensi ukusiza ukuhlela amalungiselelo okwenza
uphenyo lwezifundo, nokuhlinzekwa kwezindlela eziqondile zokuphenya izincwadi
zikaCAPS, kanye nokunciphisa okunye okuqukethwe, kwehliswe umthwalo kuhlelo
lokufundisa lonyaka (i-ATP), ukuqeqeshwa kothisha kwi ndlela yokufundisa iSayensi ngokuphenya ukuze kuthuthukiswe intshiseko yabafundi. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / M. Ed. (Curriculum Studies)
