Spanish Immigrants, the Mexican State, and the Fight for Cuba Española

Chapter 5 shifts attention away from Cubans and their Mexican supporters to examine the mind set and experiences of Spanish immigrants in Mexico and the Mexicans who rallied to the cause of Spanish colonialism, or “Cuba Española.” Starting with an exploration of Spanish ideas about nation and empire in late nineteenth century Spain and Mexico, the chapter goes on to consider the Mexican states’ strategic alliance with Spain and the ensuing verbal and physical battles between Spaniards, Cubans and Mexican in Mexico over the fate of the island of Cuba and Mexico’s allegiances. The chapter ends with a debate between two prominent Mexican intellectuals regarding Mexico’s diplomatic or historical responsibility toward Cuba in the on going crisis, which was intended to quell the passions of all parties involved by making a case for Mexico’s neutrality, but instead made clear the alliance between Mexican conservatives and Spanish immigrants and the links between late nineteenth-century liberalism and Pan-Hispanism.

Mind Body Problem ◽

SynopsisLate nineteenth-century medico-psychological approaches to the mind–body problem are discussed in relation to psychiatry's theoretical constitution as a distinct ‘mind–body’ science and practice, and to John Hughlings Jackson's ‘doctrine of concomitance’. Psychiatric ‘explanations’ of the mind–body relation are interpreted as expressions of psychiatry's independent professional interests vis-à-vis neurology and general medicine.

Zombie Argument ◽

AbstractNaturalist theatre, in its late-nineteenth-century incarnation, and particularly in the work of Émile Zola, is often seen as advancing a physicalist view of the mind, where all mind states can be reduced to brain states. The novels and the plays do not uniformly or unambiguously support this analysis, so is the theory or the practice wrong? Physicalism is an idea that has had a recent renaissance, helped by the discoveries of neuroscience. Nevertheless I express some caution about the claims made for the eradication of free will. A range of thought experiments in the philosophy of mind have cast doubt on physicalism, culminating in David Chalmers’s much-debated zombie argument. I argue that zombies and their analogues represented deep social anxieties in the late nineteenth century, and make repeated appearances in Naturalism. The essay goes on to suggest that Naturalism should be considered to have conducted thought experiments, rather than just to have attempted to embody the theory on stage. Turning to John Searle’s ‘Chinese Room’ thought experiment, I suggest that theatre-making itself may be a kind of thought experiment model of the mind.

Late Nineteenth ◽

In the late nineteenth century, Franz Boas joined other men of science who sought to establish a rational method of labeling and organizing variations in human complexion. For Boas, it was imperative to include Native Americans, especially given the prevailing notion that, in collision with white civilization, they were soon to become extinct. Thus, Boas undertook the massive endeavor of calculation and quantification of Indian bodies. This chapter argues that when Boas published his key work, The Mind of Primitive Man in 1911, he had taken important, if tentative, steps toward disrupting the scientific drive toward racial classification. By reading Boas's raw data sheets from the early 1890s along with his writings on an array of topics, one can speculate on the significance of this little-studied aspect of his progressive assertions about race in The Mind of Primitive Man.

English Speaking World ◽

In the English-speaking world, Christian thinkers played a fundamental role in laying the foundation for the scientific investigation of the mind. Those thinkers who equated the soul with the psyche and accorded the mind a privileged status in the overall scheme of things played a central role in shaping discourse in mental and moral philosophy and in opposing materialistic interpretations of the mind. During the late nineteenth century, research in neurophysiology, coupled with natural historians’ endorsement of the theory of organic evolution and the increasing use of experimental and quantitative methods of understanding the data of consciousness, led to the emergence of a ‘new psychology’. Although the new psychologists joined Christians in resisting efforts on the part of scientific naturalists to reduce mental phenomena to the activity of the nervous system, they insisted on eliminating ‘God-talk’ from their discipline, thereby differentiating their own preoccupations from those of religious thinkers.

Sociology of religion in the West is a field of knowledge with at least 100 years of history. As a science and as a discipline, the sociology of religion has been developing in most Western universities since the late nineteenth century, having established traditions, forming well-known schools, areas related to the names of famous scholars. The total number of researchers of religion abroad has never been counted, but there are more than a thousand different centers, universities, colleges where religion is taught and studied. If we assume that each of them has an average of 10 religious scholars, theologians, then the army of scholars of religion is amazing. Most of them are united in representative associations of researchers of religion, which have a clear sociological color. Among them are the most famous International Society for the Sociology of Religion (ISSR) and the Society for Scientific Study of Religion (SSSR).
