	The Committee on Social Thought: Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Committee on Social Thought was instituted in 1941 by the historian John U. Nef, with the assistance of the economist Frank Knight, the anthropologist Robert Redfield, and Robert M. Hutchins, then President of The University.
		The Committee differs from the normal department in that it has no specific subject matter and is organized neither in terms of a single intellectual discipline nor around any specific interdisciplinary focus.
		Inevitably, the faculty of the Committee does not encompass within itself the full range of intellectual disciplines necessary for these studies, and the fields represented by the faculty have changed substantially during the Committee’s history.

	University of Chicago Department of Classics
		The Joint Ph.D. Program in Social Thought and Classics is intended for students whose study of a particular issue or text from the ancient Greek and Roman world requires a broadly inter-disciplinary approach alongside a professional mastery of philological skills.
		Those interested in pursuing this joint degree program must first be admitted in EITHER the Committee on Social Thought OR the Department of Classics and must complete at minimum the three quarter language survey (Greek or Latin), offered by the Department of Classics, with an average grade of B or higher.
		Students initially admitted to Social Thought may complete the remaining requirements of the A.M. in Classical Languages and Literatures during the second year of study and the A.M. will be awarded at that time.

	Committee on Social Thought - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Committee on Social Thought, one of several PhD-granting committees at the University of Chicago, was started in 1941 by the historian John U. Nef along with economist Frank Knight, anthropologist Robert Redfield, and University President Robert Maynard Hutchins.
		The committee is interdisciplinary, but it is not centered on any specific topic; rather, the committee has, since its inception, drawn together noted academics and writers to "foster awareness of the permanent questions at the origin of all learned inquiry" [1].
		Notable past members of the committee have included T.S. Eliot, Friedrich Hayek, Mircea Eliade, Allan Bloom, Saul Bellow, David Grene, Hannah Arendt, and J.

	Social theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social theory refers to the use of theoretical frameworks to explain and analyze social patterns and large-scale social structures.
		Though many commentators consider social theory a branch of sociology, it functions inherently in an interdisciplinary manner, as it uses ideas from and contributes to a plethora of disciplines such as anthropology, economics, theology, history, and many others.
		Social theory emerged at the same time as modernity and was largely equated with an attitude of critical thinking, based on rationality, logic and objectivity, and the desire for knowledge through ‘aposteriori’ methods of discovery, rather than ‘apriori’ methods of tradition.

		Two years later, the lab expanded the arrangement and established five-man "visiting committees" for each department; their mission was to report once a year on the program of that department.
		In short, the nuclear rocket program--which cost billions of dollars but eventually came to naught--owed its origins to informal conversations and committee connections between air force staff and scientists at AEC and Defense Department labs, and to a formal recommendation offered by another air force committee chaired by a scientist from Livermore.
		One committee member remarked at the time, "The whole pattern of [Anastaplo's] behavior seems to border on the psychopathic and if he were approved on other grounds by the committee I would seriously recommend that the committee obtain the report of a competent psychiatrist."

	Committee on Global Thought (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Committee on Global Thought was established by President Lee C. Bollinger in December 2005 as part of his larger goal of transforming Columbia from an already thriving international enterprise into a truly global university to serve the expanded needs of knowledge and society in the twenty-first century.
		The changing global landscape presents new challenges and opportunities that call for new forms of thought and action of the sort universities can and ought to provide.
		Alluding to the interdisciplinary Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago, President Bollinger created the Committee on Global Thought to provide a space in which to address issues and spark activities across disciplinary and school boundaries and into the wider world of society, politics, and culture.

	What is Truth in Capital Theory -- Theme 4: Modern Education
		In the graduate faculties around which the University was built, these years saw increased specialization and academization (for example, further delineation of disciplinary boundaries and the standardization of doctoral degree requirements), accompanied by interdisciplinary dialogue and initiatives (such as the creation of the Committee on Social Thought, of which Knight and Hutchins were founding members).
		During the same year, he held a year-long seminar in the Division of Social Sciences in which he castigated the Division's members for their failure to understand and accept the Aristotelian underpinnings of a proper, unified social theory.
		Thus, we have the anomaly of Knight siding with the positivists and pragmatists in defence of educational reforms which bring the insights of modern natural and social scientific knowledge to bear on the problems of society, but at the same time, decrying the impact of that knowledge on society.

	Saul Bellow, Allan Bloom, and Mr. Strauss - Morton A. Kaplan
		Ravelstein is based on Allan Bloom, a professor, along with Saul Bellow, in the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago and, until his death, a close friend of Bellow's.
		For the first time in my experience on such a committee at Chicago, there was an audience, indeed a large one.
		When they thought the student gave a good answer, they looked at each other, produced wide smiles, and nodded up and down.

		The committee, which draws inspiration from the University of Chicago's long-standing Committee on Social Thought, is “meant to provide an institutional vehicle for rethinking the ways in which the university confronts challenges stemming from globalization.”
		Despite the use of this capitalist catchphrase, committee member and Professor of Philosophy Akeel Bilgrami insists that the “committee is no cheerleader for globalization.” For Bilgrami, the biggest challenges stemming from globalization are issues of global economic and social justice, and the effects of globalization on religion and traditional forms of local life.
		The Committee is still a work in progress; it has yet to produce a report, it is working on a mission statement, and it is still searching for staff.

		In addition, a focus of the Committee is to increase members' awareness and understanding of issues in our society that create the social service needs we try to meet so that we can begin to address some of these underlying concerns effectively.
		After all one of the important reasons that Rabbi Mordechai Kaplan organized the first Reconstructionist Congregation was to have the freedom of the pulpit that would permit him to rail against the sweat shop owners in his congregation who exploited employees and prevented them from organizing labor unions.
		As we work together to define our obligations to the larger world, these acts of social justice will in turn help define who we are - a synagogue that is first and foremost a caring community.
