Dye, “John Elof Boodin’s Theory of Consciousness”
John Elof Boodin (1869―1950) was metaphysician and philosopher of science who proposed a systematic interpretation of nature. His treatment of consciousness is markedly original– some might say ‘bizarre’ (published in Southern Journal of Philosophy, vol. 12, no. 3 [1975], pp. 313―332).
Dye, “Cultural Relativity and the Logic of Philosophy”
Professor Dye argues, with a backward glance at Hegel, Peirce, and Whitehead, that philosophical meaning and truth is culturally relative (published in Tulane Studies in Philosophy, vol. 16 (1967), pp. 37―52).
Dye, “Unspoken Philosophy: the Presuppositions and Applications of Thought”
James Kern Feibleman (1904―1995) was a prolific American philosopher. His concept of unconscious philosophy and ‘implicit dominant ontology’ is examined and compared to similar ideas in other thinkers, notably R. G. Collingwood and Claude Lévi-Strauss. (published in Studium Generale, vol. 24 [1971], pp. 800―822).
