Abstract

This two-year project, undertaken with the aid of ORCA funding, is preceding both on schedule and in many ways better than expected. The support provided in the grant has allowed me to dedicate considerable time and energy to a topic which requires me to draw upon philosophical insights from a variety of disciplines and authors. While an honors thesis will ultimately result from the work begun with the grant, already this research experience is opening new horizons of scholarship which I had not heretofore considered.
