A Review on Freedom and Authority in Theories of John Locke and Thomas Hobbes

This article tackles with the questions of freedom and authority in the thoughts of J. Locke and T. Hobbes. J. Locke is mostly known as the father of classical liberal thought whereas T. Hobbes is known with his famous work Leviathan within which he questions the source of sovereignty and made a focus on a strong sovereign. Both thinkers are social contract thinkers. However, their descriptions on state of nature are completely different. In this work, not only the mere concepts of freedom and authority but also legitimate power, law, despotism and consent will be discussed in their thought as such they are very related to the freedom and authority. To that end, first the relationship between state and individual will be addressed. Second the relationship between law and liberty will be mentioned. Then the concepts of political power and authority will be overviewed. Lastly the main questions associated with freedom and authority will be evaluated. At the end, it is supposed to delineate a general assessment about these two thinkers on their critical concepts, freedom and authority.

Models of Higher Education Governance: A Comparison of Israel and Other Countries

<p>Higher education governance refers to the legal appropriation of decision making power within universities between the various governance structures (faculty, academic committees, senates, and boards) and administrative structures (departments, programs, presidents, and vice presidents). The purpose of higher education governance is to articulate common public interests and to realize their goals while determining the limits of authority in theory and in practice – who shall decide and what is at the focus of decisions. From the late 19<sup>th</sup> century until the early 1950s, university governance followed the principle of administrative autonomy, meaning that they were free to act and conduct themselves according to their own standards without bowing to the needs or demands of a funding government. However, the transition to a capitalist economy and society, in addition to the rapid rise in the number of students and the transformation of higher education into a mass commodity, required countries worldwide to seek new models of governance, with the aim of increasing academic order and efficiency. The different styles of governance can be charted along three main models, based on the mutual relations between market forces, the state, and higher education. The current paper reviews the various models of higher education governance and portrays the Israeli model. Finally, the strengths and weaknesses of each model are discussed, as well as the future of Israeli governance in light of local winds of change and global trends.</p>

The compulsion to repeat

Book Title: Polish Cavalry Book Cover: [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Author: Marko Vesovic ISBN: 978-9958-501-64-7 Publisher: Academy of Sciences and Arts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo, 2011, 164 p. * no price available. Marko Vesovic was born in 1945 in Montenegro, and has studied and worked in the Faculty of Philosophy in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Author of several works of poetry and fiction as well as collections of essays and translations, Vesovic's Poljska konjica first appeared in 2002. in 2004 a second, expanded edition followed. Polish Cavalry, the English translation by Zvonimir Radeljkovic and Omer Hadziselimovic, was published in 2011. In this volume, Vesovic revisits the Bosnian war, in particular the almost four year long siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s. He draws on the words of others who, like himself, experienced the trauma; and presents these various accounts, including his own, in texts which approximate poems and occasionally short stories containing rich details of specific events, circumstances, places and people. Although the present edition includes a foreword by Vesovic himself on the genesis and purpose of this volume and a very helpful postscript by Marina Bowder, I was still left feeling like an outsider, unable to bring to my reading appropriate sentiments and insights. Even those who lived through it all, like Vesovic, find it difficult to explain what really happened. As Bowder points out in the postscript, Vesovic shares with many a sense of utter disbelief at the events in Sarajevo. Yet, the history of that particular war speaks to the world about the horrors and devastation that rivalling nationalism is capable of unleashing. Unfortunately, humankind tends not to learn much from history; and is therefore inclined to repeat its self-destructive behaviour, its past mistakes, as expressed in the first few lines of 'Things', one of the concluding poems of the volume: Look at this: wholesale looting again! People are cattle without tails. They are, God help us! They failed to learn a thing from the war. They are three times fouler than before: greed gapes from them. Reading the eloquent accounts contained in Polish Cavalry of very specific and very real atrocities and of human foolishness, is indeed a harrowing experience. T.S. Eliot has observed: 'Humankind cannot bear very much reality'. The reader may therefore be tempted to somehow explain away or dilute the unflinching claim of these texts through reference and deference to a (pre-approved) theory. In fact, in literary studies one often encounters a tendency to play matchmaker for theories and literary texts. The particular artistic text is often dissolved in a very general and superficial presentation of a well-known, powerful theory. Or a reading is not accepted unless if tan be validated with recourse to the 'higher' authority of theory. Such an approach, in my opinion, serves neither the cause of literature nor that of theory. In the case of Polish Cavalry, some professional readers may, for example, conclude that a reading in terms of Freud's views on Eros and Thanatos is inescapable. Such a reading seems plausible, as Freud had observed in his patients a compulsion to repeat with regard to loss and the trauma of war. This seemed to him at odds with the Pleasure Principle (the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain), as one would then question the reason for the patient wanting to return to the terror (in therapy or dreams). Freud also postulated that Eros is counterbalanced by the death drive, Thanatos. Thanatos refers to the drive in the (human) creature to forsake its specific and afflicted life in favour of a return to the indeterminate, the inanimate, and the pre-organic. There seems to be ample evidence of this force in Polish Cavalry; most notably perhaps in 'The stump', the poem which, according to Vesovic in his foreword, constituted the genesis of this volume. …

Writing Theory and Critical Theory

Writing Theory and Critical Theory discusses the growing body of work linking composition studies and literary studies. Enlisting the strategies of deconstruction, hermeneutics, post-modernism, feminism, neo-Marxism, neopragmatism, psychoanalysis, reader-response criticism, and cultural studies, the twenty-seven contributors investigate the resources that critical theory can bring to an examination of discourse. Part 1, Refiguring Traditions, contains six essays that use critical theory to illuminate the history and orthodoxies of writing instruction. four essays in part 2, The Language and Authority of Theory, analyze recent clashes between theorists and empirical researchers. Part 3, Narrative Theory and Narratives, addresses issues ranging from the significance of narrative as a defining feature of human nature to the problems -- both political and pedagogical -- with a writing course based on difference. In the final section, a symposium, five contributors evaluate their roles in past an future developments in composition. Composition teachers, critical theorists, and writing program administrators will find this Collection a provocative and insightful overview of the field of composition studies.

The Youth Correction Authority in Theory and Practice

An objection this topic might fairly be registered; all of this discussion of the Youth Correction Authority model act must necessarily be theoretical, inasmuch as the plan is as yet nowhere in action. However, I shall endeavor in my article discuss the proposal from a practical viewpoint, based on many years' experience working for the enactment of laws and observing their operation in many states and in the federal system-laws whose entire purpose like that claimed for the model act is to protect society more effectively by substituting for retributive punishment, methods of training and treatment directed toward the correction and rehabilitation of young persons [and older ones too] found guilty of violation of law.' It is the usual thing for those who believe that there are serious practical difficulties inherent in the proposal start off with the statement that the purposes of the legislation are wholly commendable and in line with those of our improving probation, parole, socialized courts and correctional institutions laws. But the query naturally arises, why not continue develop and implement these agencies of individual rehabilitation instead of proposing entirely new and conflicting machinery, for that is what the act attempts do. What are the practical purposes of the act? As I see it, they are three: (i) To remove the actual sentencing function from the courts, where it has always been, and give it a new type of state board be.created. (2) To confer upon the proposed new board full power of treatment, including investigation and diagnosis, sentence prison, or any other form of treatment, including supervision which is take the place of probation and parole as now authorized in the laws of nearly all states, and final discharge or termination of treatment, without any of the restrictions now imposed. (3) To authorize the new board, when and if sufficient funds are made available it, establish and operate new institutions and various other facilities of treatment. Let us examine each of these practical objectives from the point of view of, 'will it work?.
