Abstract

| |
The purpose of this article is to gain a deeper understanding of the tensions between the religious law of a specific community and the secular law of the state, religious and secular law in a complex multicultural society, the nature of the secular state, and the role of religion in public life. This paper seeks to fill a gap in the current literature by examining different aspects of the application of religious law in a secular state, the clash between religious and secular law, the tension between the religious neutrality of the state and the connectedness of Islam and public policy, and the essentially religious nature of Sharia. |

The key contribution of this paper is to articulate and give expression to Adornos use of spatial conceptions and metaphors in his discussion of music, the objectification of subjectivity in music, the development of musical forces of production, and Adornos references to dialectic in relation to musical form. There has been a flurry of pronouncements over recent years about Adornos treatment of "new music," the development of musical semblance, Adornos stance on musical temporality, and the developmental and progressive in music... |

The aim of the present study is to examine and evaluate the joint influences of structural and expressive cues on emotional responses to music, subcortical involvement in the auditory processing of emotion, the neural correlates of emotions, the capability of music to evoke activity changes in the hippocampus, and music as a mode of intervention. In the present paper, I focus on the emotional intensity of the emotion felt during music listening, the cognitive basis of emotion recognition through music, the nature of music therapy and its effectiveness for autism, and involvement of subcortical mechanisms in the auditory processing of communicated states of emotion... |

The main objective of this paper is to explore and describe the implications of the relational and meaning-making nature of music, the anthropology of music and sound, the ethical responsibilities of the human relationships created through improvised performance, and the idealization of musical experience. The paper generates insights about the role of body in sung performance, the organization of intersubjectivity during rehearsal and performance, rhythmic entrainment in the physical coproduction of sound, aspects of relationships created in music making, and the polythetic constitution of the musical piece... |

The purpose of this paper is to gain a deeper understanding of the nexus between Heideggers account of conscience, his ontological view of truth, his specific sense of being, his conception of Dasein, and his interest in a particular form of realism. The paper generates insights about Heideggers interest in categorial intuition, his conception of Dasein, his phenomenological ontology, his ontological conception of truth, and the problem of the meaning of being. |

In the present paper, I focus on Peirces insights on personhood, his semiotic categorization of proper names, his categorizations of signs, and his semiotic and analytic philosophy of language. In this paper I am particularly interested in exploring Peirces understanding of the real, his three-fold categorical scheme, his view of meaning, his pragmatism, and his theory of proper names. |

The aim of the present study is to examine and evaluate the logic of musical ideas that corresponds to the phenomenological character of music, listeners mental representations of sound, and sound evaluation of music performers. I am specifically interested in how previous research investigated the art and logic of the composer, the imaginary status of musical "works," and the formulaic nature of musicological knowledge. |

This study is grounded in the considerable body of scholarship examining the increased prominence and visibility of religion, the religious provisions of the Peace of Westphalia, the Egyptian notion of public order, Lockes rectificatory justice, and the political theology of the new order of Christian states... |

Abstract

Frederick Fitch has provided a proof which seems to demonstrate that if all truths are knowable then all truths are known. In response, some defenders of the view that truth is essentially knowable have sought to avoid this result by restricting the claim that all truths are known in some principled fashion. |

Plantinga on Materialism and Intentionality

Abstract

Alvin Plantinga (2006) presents an argument against materialism that is concerned with intentionality. His main contention is that according to materialism, intentionality is not a basic property of the brain or of any part thereof, and that intentionality cannot be determined by interactions among various physical items. I take issues with the latter claim, and argue that there is no reason to think that intentionality cannot be thus determined. I also suggest that Plantingas failure is anything but accidental: the phenomenon of intentionality is neutral with respect to the mind-body problem. |

The M Event Paradox and the Specious Present: An Analysis and Refutation of Mctaggarts 2nd Argument

Abstract
|
| |
In the "Unreality of Time", McTaggart famously offers various, significant objections against the possibility of an A-series. After presenting his more famous puzzles, he offers a brief (and often overlooked) argument against an A-series view that would argue for the objective existence of past, present, and future based on the presence of experience, i.e., the specious present. The thrust of McTag-garts argument against an A-series grounded on a specious present consists in his claiming that events of experience extend over varying durations. |

Abstract

This paper provides the background and analysis for the rise of inter-culturalism as an emergent discourse and examines the concept and the main forms of dialogue within the Western philosophical tradition. First, it reviews the history of the concept of ethnocentrism, cultural relativism and universalism. We argue that strategically, ethical and practically ethnocentrism is the major presumption and problematic of interculturalism and intercultural understanding and education. |
