33Tragedy and the Sorrow of Finitude: Reflections on Sin and Death in the Philosophy of Josiah RoyceThe Pluralist 2 (2). 2007.In The Problem of Christianity, Josiah Royce describes the case of the traitor as embodying "the exemplary type of moral tragedy" which he will use toward the adumbration of a theory of atonement.

48Confess Your Contradictions: Schelling, Royce, and the Art of AtonementJournal of Speculative Philosophy 26 (3): 516-530. 2012.Two of Josiah Royce's lectures in Lectures on Modern Idealism concern the work of F.

In the former, Royce remarks that "there are two simple ways to avoid all dialectical complications. One is an easy way, viz., not to think at all. The other is a prudent way, viz., n…Read more

I suggest that Calkins's pacifistic proposal is an extension of that of her teacher—a feminist interpretation of his psychological and moral thought as broug…Read more
