The neoclassical writers and talkers, patrons and collectors, artists and sculptors of 1765 - 1830 paid homage to an idea of the generation of Pheidias, but the sculpture examples they actually embraced were more likely to be Roman copies of Hellenistic sculptures.
Neoclassicism continued to be a major force in academic art through the 19th century and beyond— a constant antithesis to Romanticism or Gothic revivals— although from the late 19th century on it had often been considered anti-modern, or even reactionary, in influential critical circles.

 Charles Hartshorne   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Second, Hartshorne frequently uses the history of philosophy to see which of the logically possible options made available by position matrices have been defended before so as to avail ourselves of the insights of others in the effort to examine in detail the consistency of these positions and to assess their consequences.
Third, after a careful reading of the history of philosophy has facilitated the conceptual and pragmatic examination of all the available options made explicit by a position matrix, the (Greek) principle of moderation is used by Hartshorne as a guide to negotiate the way between extreme views on either side.
Another way to categorize Hartshorne's theism is to see it as neoclassical in the sense that he relies on the classical or traditional theistic proofs for the existence of God and on the classical theistic metaphysics of being as first steps in the effort to think through properly the logic of perfection.

 [No title]
The main "orthodox," "neoclassical," or "neowalrasian" school models economic outcomes as equilibria in which individuals have done as well for themselves as they could given their preferences and the constraints on their choices.
This essay will focus on neoclassical economic theory because the orthodox neoclassical school is the best known and most influential and because its central theory has attracted the most philosophical attention.
Not only neoclassical economics, but all known and probably all imaginable economic theories would be condemned as unscientific, and there would be no way to discriminate among economic theories.

 Harvard Square Library :: Charles Hartshorne :: Final Years
The history of philosophy is a laboratory for testing the truth of ideas; which system of thought is nearest the truth is no more important than which philosophers have succeeded or failed in framing and answering particular questions.
The main theme is that speculative philosophy, ethics, and aesthetics should avoid extremes and strive to preserve concepts that express a legitimate contrast.
The title reflects the elements of his philosophy: “the darkness and the light” is from a poem by William Wordsworth that conveys the idea that bonds of mutual feeling among the creatures, the elements, and God unify nature.

He is thus able to sustain an elaborate dialectic involving this wide array of scholars, usually treated in logical sequence, but sometimes engaged in a larger, multifaceted discussion with one another and with Hartshorne.
What is learned from these discussions is finally brought to bear upon a number of pressing existential questions in the fields of ethics and applied moral philosophy, rescuing the whole treatment from the realm of a purely theoretical abstraction.

This philosophy justified and encouraged the "first era of globalization" which came to an end with the shocks of the First World War and the collapse of the Gold Standard (just as neoliberalism is associated with the "second era of globalization" after World War II).
And there can be little doubt that liberalism already existed in the late 17th century, since Locke's liberal political philosophy was what the Whig Parliamentary majority used to justify the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

The way neoclassical economics constructs utility is that if everybody is satisfied, then that is what’s right, and the functioning of the economy is an ongoing maximisation of what’s satisfactory or good for everybody.
Maybe this is part of the big difficulties I’ve been having with individualistic conceptions of class — what I’ve been calling the rhetoric of authenticity and class as lived experience — as opposed to sociological or Marxian conceptions of class.
But the neoclassical economists refused Bentham’s assumption “that utility can be measured across individuals” or, more specifically, “that my utility from an orange can be compared to your utility from the same orange” (84).

 Philosophy of Economics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
“Philosophy of Economics” consists of inquiries concerning (a) rational choice, (b) the appraisal of economic outcomes, institutions and processes, and (c) the ontology of economic phenomena and the possibilities of acquiring knowledge of them.
Economics is of particular interest to those interested in epistemology and philosophy of science both because of its detailed peculiarities and because it possesses many of the overt features of the natural sciences, while its object consists of social phenomena.
Since rationality is a central concept in branches of philosophy such as action theory, epistemology, ethics, and philosophy of mind, studies of rationality frequently cross the boundaries between economics and philosophy and thus constitute one of the domains of philosophy of economics.

 Hegel’s Instituionalist Liberalism: Political Economy and Civil Society in the Philosophy of Right   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Hegel’s infamous Preface to the Philosophy of Right in which he appears to identify the rational with the real, and the real with the Prussian state, seems to put Hegel’s own imprimatur on the view that his social and political thought was a prostitution of philosophy in the service of reaction.
But it is intended to contribute to the process of demythologizing the "Hegel legend" by showing the degree to which his social and political thought represents a critical refinement, rather than a simple rejection, of the rights-based and market-oriented tradition of classical liberalism.
Moreover, Hegel’s innovative conception of civil society as a sphere of social interaction distinct from the state presupposes the emancipation of the market from direct moral and political supervision as well as the development of a coherent theory of how social coordination is possible in the absence of hierarchical authority.

 SUNY Press :: Platonic Philosophy of Religion, A
A Platonic Philosophy of Religion challenges traditional views of Plato's religious thought, arguing that these overstate the case for the veneration of Being as opposed to Becoming.
Daniel A. Dombrowski explores how process or neoclassical perspectives on Plato's view of God have been mostly neglected, impoverishing both our view of Plato and our view of what can be said in contemporary philosophy of religion on a Platonic basis.
The work's interpretive framework derives from the application of process philosophy and discusses the continuation of Plato's thought in the works of Hartshorne and Whitehead.

 Alain de Botton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
He knows a good deal about Renaissance thought, and his work is a sustained attempt to revive the great tradition of neoclassical moral philosophy - of philosophy as a battle not against ignorance but against pride.
For de Botton, the reason for engaging in philosophy is not to know more but to live better - to gain a sense of proportion about life's little ironies and acquire thereby a certain immunity from the rage and passion that dance attendance on them.
This is philosophy in the manner of Montaigne or Thomas Browne rather than Descartes or John Locke: a gentle stoicism reminding us that when things do not pan out as we would like, it may be better to amend our desires than to try changing the world.

 Ross, S.A.: Neoclassical Finance.
Neoclassical Finance provides a concise and powerful account of the underlying principles of modern finance, drawing on a generation of theoretical and empirical advances in the field.
But without any appeal to psychology, Ross shows that neoclassical theory provides a simple and rich explanation that resolves many of the anomalies on which behavioral finance has been fixated.
Based on the inaugural Princeton Lectures in Finance, sponsored by the Bendheim Center for Finance of Princeton University, this elegant book represents a major contribution to the ongoing debate on market efficiency, and serves as a useful primer on the fundamentals of finance for both scholars and practitioners.

 NORMATIVE ISSUES RELATING TO TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE OIC MEMBERSHIP IN THE LIGHT OF ISLAMIC POLITICAL ECONOMY
Rationalism is characterized by pluralism, systemic competition and hegemony as attributes of a political philosophy that prevails among individuals, groups and the democratic institutions so raised by these attributes.
In this political philosophy prevail the extensively knowledge-induced interactions, integration and creative evolution of knowledge-flows governing all issues and problems of the community, nation and the world nation of Islam along with their relationships with the global order.
The important implication of marginal substitution and tradeoff among neoclassical alternatives are shown to lead to immiserizing growth for the primary resource producing economies (Alias and Choudhury 1996).

Ordinarily, atomism is associated with materialism, but both science and philosophy have shown that the atomistic nature of reality need not be of a material nature, at least as matter usually is conceived.
Religion should connect the rational generality of philosophy with the emotions and purposes springing out of existence in a particular society, in a particular epoch, and conditioned by particular antecedents.
Philosophy finds religion, and modifies it; and conversely religion is among the data of experience which philosophy must weave into its own scheme.
