Dr. Leroy Little Bear connects quantum physics to Indigenous beliefs about spirit and the ethical relationship between all things. Physicist David Bohm also argued that our measurements provide an incomplete picture of reality and that everything is fundamentally linked. The document asks if infinite potential can be left out of discussions of ethics, and if science may soon discover a field connecting all things, meaning every thought and action affects the whole world. It questions if living differently would result if such a field was confirmed, or if lack of confirmation allows questionable modern behavior.

CHAPTER 4
The Nature of Substance, Reality, and Mind: Idealism, Dualism, and Materialism
There are a number of complex philosophical issues brought about by a discussion of substance. As you may recall from an earlier chapter, the Ancient Greeks were very much concerned about the question of substance. At present, science tells us everything is made up of material atoms, and yet, philosophers still debate this scientific conclusion. It is not to say that atoms do not exist (although no one has actually seen one, which is another question about scientific realism), but rather a question of what is reality made up of, mind, matter, or a combination of both.
These questions lead to other questions regarding the nature of the human mind. Is it just the brain or does it have an immaterial component? What of the soul? All these questions will be considered in the following sections below.
POWERFUL IDEAS: THE NATURE OF SUBSTANCE
Materialism claims that all real objects are physical. Dualism claims that all real objects are either physical or nonphysical. Idealism claims that all real objects are nonphysical.
Berkeley and Idealism
Berkeley contends that the only things that are real are ideas. This view is known as idealism. All the objects we encounter in the world (which is an idea as well) are nonmaterial objects. As bizarre as this may at first sound, what you should be aware of is the fact that the only objects that we do have direct access to in our mind (or brain) are ideas.
We assume that our idea of objects in the world is tied to or come from these objects; some underlying physical substance, yet Berkeley is denying that we have any good reason to infer to this material substance. Berkeley employs a radical empiricism. He thought that we can only acquire knowledge from our experiences—from our per- ceptions. What is the nature of our perceptions? We assume that we perceive objects directly, yet in fact, what we are doing is experience an idea of the object, which has been constructed by our mind. Berkeley goes on to argue that “to exist is to be perceived.”

Is religion opposed to science? Has science made religion intellectually implausible? Does science rule out the existence of a “personal” God? What does "personal" mean?

These are all questions that I've fielded from correspondents for some time. They're good questions because they call on people who hold to diverse models of the universe to do a reality check.

Explain whether you agree with Kant's view that "an action done from duty must wholly exclude the influence of inclination and with it every object of the will, so that nothing remains which can determine the will except objectively the law."

Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (selections)
Nothing can possibly be conceived in the world, or even out of it, which can be called good, without qualification, except a good will. Intelligence, wit, judgement, and the other talents of the mind, however they may be named, or courage, resolution, perseverance, as qualities of temperament, are undoubtedly good and desirable in many respects; but these gifts of nature may also become extremely bad and mischievous if the will which is to make use of them, and which, therefore, constitutes what is called character, is not good. It is the same with the gifts of fortune. Power, riches, honour, even health, and the general well-being and contentment with one’s condition which is called happiness, inspire pride, and often presumption, if there is not a good will to correct the influence of these on the mind, and with this also to rectify the whole principle of acting and adapt it to its end. The sight of a being who is not adorned with a single feature of a pure and good will, enjoying unbroken prosperity, can never give pleasure to an impartial rational spectator. Thus a good will appears to constitute the indispensable condition even of being worthy of happiness… A good will is good not because of what it performs or effects, not by its aptness for the attainment of some proposed end, but simply by virtue of the volition; that is, it is good in itself, and considered by itself is to be esteemed much higher than all that can be brought about by it in favour of any inclination, nay even of the sum total of all inclinations...
Now an action done from duty must wholly exclude the influence of inclination and with it every object of the will, so that nothing remains which can determine the will except objectively the law, and subjectively pure respect for this practical law, and consequently the maxim that I should follow this law even to the thwarting of all my inclinations… Thus the moral worth of an action does not lie in the effect expected from it, nor in any principle of action which requires to borrow its motive from this expected effect. For all these effects agreeableness of one’s condition and
Plato's Allegory of the Cave seems to suggest that only through questioning social reality, and improving ourselves intellectually, can we discover the real source of virtue (and be virtuous). Aristotle's notion of phrónesis (“practical wisdom”) seems to dismiss the notion of an intrinsic source of virtue, to emphasize instead that virtue is a practical skill that we develop through practice, which enables us to reliably choose the middle point between extremes in all situations.
Who do you agree with more, Plato or Aristotle? And why?
"Virtue is a state of character concerned with a choice, lying in a mean relative to us, this being determined by a rational principle, and by that principle by which the person of practical wisdom would determine it." (Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics 2.6)

Whitehead and Dr. Leroy Little Bear both emphasize the ethical implications of interconnectedness. We have seen in this course that moral frameworks from the Age of Reason emphasize knowledge/reason, while alternatives (care ethics, ecological ethics, Indigenous ethics, Buddhist ethics, nonwestern ethics) emphasize wisdom. What is wisdom? The sciences of ecology and quantum physics tell us about interconnectedness, based on careful measurements (knowledge), but can this sense of interconnectedness be accessed through contemplative wisdom?
Do we need an ethics grounded in wisdom?
As a group do you think that, as individuals, we ever experience ethical interconnectedness that is metaphysical or part of "spirit"? Are the brain and the mind the same thing?

The background of the research is the personal and professional experience of the researcher, who has worked in the museum sector in Ireland for the past five years and has recently moved into the university advancement sector. Through this experience, the author has identified gaps within fundraising strategies in Irish museums, which has led to an interest in exploring similar institutions and learning from their strategies.
This background is significant because it provides context for the research question and objectives, along with a personal motivation for the researcher. It also suggests that the author has a deep understanding of the museum and higher education sectors in Ireland, which can be valuable in conducting the research and analysing the results..
Research question and objectives
The inquiry into whether museums should seek guidance from higher education on fundraising strategies presents an intriguing topic for discussion. It is worth noting that both sectors rely on government grants, trusts, and philanthropy to supplement their budgets, among other similarities. However, universities have been fundraising for considerably longer than museums and have even established development offices solely dedicated to fundraising efforts. As a result, universities have developed sophisticated strategies for identifying and engaging donors. There may be valuable insights that museums can gain by examining and adapting these strategies to their specific requirements. The choice of Trinity College Dublin and Chester Beatty as case studies reflects the authors’ personal connection and deep understanding of these institutions, which can provide a rich and nuanced understanding of their fundraising strategies.

Nothing can possibly be conceived in the world, or even out of it, which can be called good, without qualification, except a good will. Intelligence, wit, judgement, and the other talents of the mind, however they may be named, or courage, resolution, perseverance, as qualities of temperament, are undoubtedly good and desirable in many respects; but these gifts of nature may also become extremely bad and mischievous if the will which is to make use of them, and which, therefore, constitutes what is called character, is not good.

The background of the research is the personal and professional experience of the researcher, who has worked in the museum sector in Ireland for the past five years and has recently moved into the university advancement sector. Through this experience, the author has identified gaps within fundraising strategies in Irish museums, which has led to an interest in exploring similar institutions and learning from their strategies.
This background is significant because it provides context for the research question and objectives, along with a personal motivation for the researcher. It also suggests that the author has a deep understanding of the museum and higher education sectors in Ireland, which can be valuable in conducting the research and analysing the results..
Research question and objectives
The inquiry into whether museums should seek guidance from higher education on fundraising strategies presents an intriguing topic for discussion. It is worth noting that both sectors rely on government grants, trusts, and philanthropy to supplement their budgets, among other similarities. However, universities have been fundraising for considerably longer than museums and have even established development offices solely dedicated to fundraising efforts. As a result, universities have developed sophisticated strategies for identifying and engaging donors. There may be valuable insights that museums can gain by examining and adapting these strategies to their specific requirements. The choice of Trinity College Dublin and Chester Beatty as case studies reflects the authors’ personal connection and deep understanding of these institutions, which can provide a rich and nuanced understanding of their fundraising strategies.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. Watch at least one of the posted videos for Week 10 below.
Dr. Leroy Little Bear connects quantum physics to the Indigenous belief
in "spirit," an idea that implies each person's intense ethical relationship
to the world. He also reminds us that science is as much a belief system
(and value system) as any spiritual tradition. In a similar fashion,
Physicist David Bohm (a student of Einstein) wrote a book
called Wholeness and the Implicate Order, arguing that our
measurements of the physical world provide an incomplete picture of
reality, and that there is a non-local, interconnected realm in which
everything is fundamentally linked to everything else.
Do you think that "infinite potential" can be left out of our discussion of
ethics? You may recall that Kant, in the late 18th Century, left
"noumena" outside of human cognition (which only knows "phenomena"
or mental representations). In the 1920s, Whitehead questioned Kant's
move to privilege reason over feeling, and to cast the metaphysical
outside of human knowledge. In doing so, Whitehead offered a simpler
explanation of ethics: the world itself is composed of feelings or values
(prior to human cognition).
Looking at this question from your own background, tradition, and
experience, do you think that we can experience the infinite (and, in it,
infinite ethical interrelationship)?
2. Is it possible that science (as the video "Infinite Potential" suggests) is on
the verge of discovering the "field" that connects all things. Ethically, this
would mean that your every thought, word, and action affects the whole
world. Given such confirmation, would you live any differently?
Conversely, do you think that the absence of scientific confirmation
about (and interest in) the metaphysical dimensions of ethics allows us
moderns to behave in questionable ways?
