Example of Paradox - HOME Example of Paradox The Philosophical Computer: Exploratory Essays in Philosophical Computer Modeling with CDROM by Patrick Grim, Philosophical modeling is as old as philosophy itself; examples range from Plato's Cave and the Divided Line to Rawls's original position.

The list of paradoxes characterizing Montral is a long one. The portrait that Annick Germain and Damaris Rose strive to paint of the intriguing city, caught in the malstrom of political debate that permeates most of its urban issues, is both wide-ranging and fine-grained.

Information Paradox - HOME Information Paradox Soft News Goes to War: Public Opinion and American Foreign Policy in the New Media Age by Matthew Baum, The American public has consistently declared itself less concerned with foreign affairs in the post-ColdWar era, even after 9/11, than at any time since World War II. How can it be, then, that public attentiveness to U.S. foreign policy crises has increased? This book represents the first systematic attempt to explain this apparent paradox.

Paradox Definition - HOME Paradox Definition Contentious Traditions: The Debate on Sati in Colonial India Contentious Traditions analyzes the debate on sati, or widow burning, in colonial India. Though the prohibition of widow burning in 1829 was heralded as a key step forward for women's emancipation in modern India, Lata Mani argues that the women who were burned were marginal to the debate and that the controversy was over definitions of Hindu tradition, the place of ritual in religious worship, the civilizing missions of colonialism and evangelism, and the proper role of the colonial state. Mani radically revises colonialist as well as nationalist historiography on the social reform of women's status in the colonial period and clarifies the complex and contradictory character of missionary writings on India. The history of widow burning is one of paradox. While the chief players in the debate argued over the religious basis of sati and the fine points of scriptural interpretation, the testimonials of women at the funeral pyres consistently addressed the material hardships and societal expectations attached to widowhood. And although historiography has traditionally ...
