BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

I work in the Language Centre at the University of Newcastle upon
Tyne, England, as a Computer Officer. My work consists mainly in
trying to track down good quality software for teaching languages
(almost any language) and in re-writing software in Pascal.

In the Language Centre we have a network of Nimbus PC-186
computers, which are almost IBM compatibles. The Nimbus has an
IBM emulator, which handles quite a lot of IBM software
successfully, though the screen emulation is weak (EGA/VGA
emulation impossible).

We also have a Mac SE/30, an IBM PC AT, and two BBC B micros, on
which we run other CALL software.

We are interested in pursuing the use of Hypercard for language
teaching, in particular for teaching Kanji. We are also
interested in interactive video (we have a BBC Master / Microtext
and a Sony video player on loan to us at the moment).

NAME: Anthony (Tony) Beavers
INSTITUTION: Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
DEPARTMENT: Philosophy
TITLE: Lecturer and Ph.D. Candidate

ADDRESS: Department of Philosophy
Marquette University
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
POSTAL CODE: 53233
COUNTRY: U.S.A.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

I am a Ph.D. Candidate. My dissertation, "The Metaphysics of
Affectivity and Ethical Responsibility," concerns the role of
emotions as a possible grounding for ethics and should be
finished during the current term (Fall, 1989). Thinkers used in
the work include Descartes, Hume, Kant, Husserl and Levinas.

I am teaching two divisions of "Ethical Theory" at Marquette this
term. I have taught "Theories of Human Nature," "Logic," and
"Contemporary Moral Problems." Next Spring, I will be visiting
the University of Texas at Austin where I will be teaching a
graduate seminar on Heidegger and one undergrade division of
Contemporary Moral Problems.

My primary interest is in the history of philosophy with
particular interests in Early Modern European Philosophy, and
Phenomenology and Existentialism.

Before coming to Marquette, I attended Trinity College, in
Hartford, Connecticut, where I received my B.A. (1985), and M.A.
(1987). Both degrees are in philosophy. While in Connecticit, I
worked as a computer consultant and programmer for The
Connecticut Historical Society, The Archdiocese of Hartford's
Permanent Deacon Program, and Winter Associates, Auctioneers and
Appraisers. In addition, I have done some statistical consulting
for companies in Chicago, Illinois. Most recently, my computer
labor has included 1) work for the Marquette Press formatting
camera-ready copy for book publishing and 2) work for the journal
"Philosophy and Theology" writing utility programs and preparing
on-line manuscripts. (I am the assistant editor of "Philosophy
and Theology's" disk version of Karl Rahner's, <Hearers of the
Word>.)

I am interested in the role of computers in the humanities, and I
wish to continue writing utility programs to handle various
aspects of grading and text formatting. I hope to find time to
move in to the area of on-line textual reseach and write some
programs to assist in this area as well.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

I've been working as a full time computer programmer virtually
all my working career, but have always had an interest in the
classics, and the humanities, and, also, their relationship to
computers, and, now, especially, with the new Artificial
Intelligence machines, the relationship of these machines to the
humanities in the broadest sense.

I would especially enjoy reading things of a philosophical or
speculative nature in the above and other areas. Out of
curiosity, has anyone ever considered defining Pygmalion's
Galatea, the medieval Jewish Golem, and Mary Shelley's
Frankenstein as the world's first A.I. machines?
