Broad","doi":"10.1080/15615324.2003.10427197","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15615324.2003.10427197","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract In his recent book on the rise of modernity, Jonathan Israel argues that philosophers and philosophical ideas played a significant role in the transformation of opinions and attitudes across early modern Europe. In the 17th century, Cartesian philosophy in particular was at the forefront of the formation of modern concepts and institutions. Many aspects of Cartesianism are now seen as typical of the ‘modern project’, including its challenge to ancient authority, the questioning of past prejudices and assumptions, its egalitarian conception of reason, and the privileging of the intellect over the passions. The rise of Cartesianism also marked the advent of the new mechanistic conception of the natural world, the rise of scientific objectivity, the separation of theology and philosophy, and a radical division between human beings and the rest of nature, including animals. To this list of ‘modern innovations’, we might also add that Cartesian philosophy played a modest role in promoting intellectual equality between the sexes. In 1673, a Frenchman named Francois Poulain de la Barre employed Cartesian ideas to argue that common opinions about the innate intellectual deficiency of women are based on unexamined prejudices rather than clear and distinct ideas. He maintained that there is no essential difference between the rational abilities of men and women (the soul itself, he says, ‘has no sex’); and therefore any defect in women's reasoning capacities must be due to custom, rather than natural inferiority.","PeriodicalId":360014,"journal":{"name":"Intellectual News","volume":"1202 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127432688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The so-called Cambridge capital controversies raged for more than a decade from the early 1960s through the early 1970s. At stake was the logical consistency of all economic analysis. The debate centred on the ability of mainstream theory to demonstrate a link between relative input prices and the techniques that profit maximizing capitalists would employ in production. Without this linkage, mainstream theory was left without any mechanism for demonstrating a relationship between input markets and output markets. Much of what economists think they know about how markets work can be traced back to this linkage. The stakes were high indeed. The paper looks at how the participants in the debate made their arguments, how the profession responded, and what the outcomes were. Essentially, the defenders of mainstream analysis lost every battle and, in the end won the war. How can such an outcome be defended on scientific grounds? The paper concludes with some cautious assessments.","PeriodicalId":360014,"journal":{"name":"Intellectual News","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115078850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, African cultural and intellectual history as part of the global historical discourse of continuity and change has yet to be fully appreciated in spite of the fact that the collapse of state structures in many parts of Africa at the end of the 20th century brought into fore questions of authority, political legitimacy and social change. Intellectual and cultural life in Africa in the last 250 years could not escape the political, economic and social constraints of the “international encounter” of African and non-African powers, economies, social practices and cultures. An engaged and yet self-critical intellectual history must therefore also continually engage in the interpretation of seemingly nonintellectual factors but factors which nonetheless shaped and called for intellectual expression. This alone can help the history of African social and political ideas escape racialized preconceptions which can be summed up in terms of the Hegelian notion of a “peoples without history”, because their history cannot easily supplant or compete with the predominant narratives of the emergence of western self-identity.","PeriodicalId":360014,"journal":{"name":"Intellectual News","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125389855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Joseph Levenson, who remains one of the leading Western intellectual historians of China, made the question central to his analysis with his famous delineation of a tension between history, what is specifically one's own, and value, what is universal. Through the second half of the 19th century and all of the 20th, Chinese thinkers have wrestled with the problems of how to be at once both Chinese and modern. The problems are all the more complex because what is modern appears to come from the outside, from the West. Hence issues of time, and place, of pre-modern/modern, of East/West, have run together in the Chinese experience. Further, just when, in the last two decades, China has been turning away from much of its experience with socialism, Chinese intellectuals have encountered the ideas of postmodernism and its critique of modernity. Thus, for the Chinese themselves, to the dimensions of time and place is added that of criticism, of revolution/reform.","PeriodicalId":360014,"journal":{"name":"Intellectual News","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128661436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One concerned Au Grand Jour, a joint pamphlet published a short while before by the Editions surrealistes, and which focused on the relationships between surrealists and communists. The second dealt with the reply by Antonin Artaud, who had recently been excluded from the surrealist group and who had been insulted in the pamphlet. Artaud's reply was entitled A Ia Grande Nuit. A short while after, Paulhan received a blunt letter from Breton. He immediately chose two witnesses, but when they showed up at the offender's house, Breton refused to fight. Paulhan then published the note with which his witnesses had informed him of Breton's refusal. Also published was his own conclusion: 'One now knows the cowardice that lies beneath the violence and filth of that person'. Beyond its picturesque quality, this episode is not unworthy of the attention of an audience preoccupied by quarrels affecting the intellectual world, their changing forms and the way they shed light on power plays that are usually better concealed. Paulhan's attitude, in 1927, was not as uncommon as one today might imagine. Literary duels were practised in France before the Great War. After the armistice, they did survive, after a fashion, as harmless human comedies.","PeriodicalId":360014,"journal":{"name":"Intellectual News","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130000195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
