Evaluation of 'Front End' of the learning Gateway in the East Midlands

This report has been written by the Centre for Guidance Studies (CeGS) for Government Office East Midlands (GOEM). It is based on research CeGS was commissioned to undertake by GOEM between September - December 2001 into the quality of the ‘frontend’ of the Learning Gateway within the East Midlands region. The aim of the research was to explore the quality of the ‘front-end’ of the Learning Gateway in the East Midlands. This has involved benchmarking the activities of the four East Midlands Careers Services, and Connexions Lincolnshire and Rutland and an analysis of their systems and procedures for supporting their clients and Personal Advisers (PAs). Feedback was gathered from Managers, PAs, young people and key delivery partners. In addition, the linkages between the ‘front-end’ and the destinations of the Learning Gateway clients were considered through an analysis of Regional and Head Office Management Information System (RHOMIS) data

The roots of romantic cognitivism:(post) Kantian intellectual intuition and the unity of creation and discovery

During the romantic period, various authors expressed the belief that through creativity, we can directly access truth. To modern ears, this claim sounds strange. In this paper, I attempt to render the position comprehensible, and to show how it came to seem plausible to the romantics. I begin by offering examples of this position as found in the work of the British romantics. Each thinks that the deepest knowledge can only be gained by an act of creativity. I suggest the belief should be seen in the context of the post-Kantian embrace of “intellectual intuition.” Unresolved tensions in Kant's philosophy had encouraged a belief that creation and discovery were not distinct categories. The post-Kantians held that in certain cases of knowledge (for Fichte, knowledge of self and world; for Schelling, knowledge of the Absolute) the distinction between discovering a truth and creating that truth dissolves. In this context, the cognitive role assigned to acts of creativity is not without its own appeal

Imposing on Napoleon: the Romantic appropriation of Bonaparte

This article explores how major British Romantic writers perceived Napoleon in the early nineteenth century: the ideas they associated with him and the images they used to depict him. I argue that these perceptions have relatively little to do with the politics of the various writers, or with the chronology of Napoleon’s career. Instead, interest in Bonaparte is driven by aesthetic and philosophical concerns: especially the question of whether Napoleon is an ordinary man ‘within’ history, or a semi-allegorical personage -a representative of some ideology or concept (like Liberty or Heroism). I also discuss how Napoleon is appended to the Romantic problem of the ‘overreacher’, who fails due to his glorious success, and who thus blurs the boundaries between triumph and failure. Lastly, I show how Napoleon influences Romantic concern about ‘imposing’ ideas onto analysis of the world. In this way, Napoleon exposes insecurities at the heart of Romantic self-perception
