You are to read each one carefully when answering the questions. The {questions are based on what is stated or implied in each passage. You have thirty minutes to complete this section, PASSAGE -1 In Scholasticism and politics, writen during World ‘War Il, Maritain expressed discouragement at the pessimism and lack of self-confidence characteristic of the Western democracies, and in the postwar world hhe joined enthusiastically in the resurgence of that confidence. While stopping short of asserting that democracy as a political system flowed directly from correct philosophical principles, he nontheless dismissed Fascism, and Communism as inherently imational. Bourgeois individualism was, however, implicitly immoral and, by breaking down all sense of community and agreed moral values, would inevitably end in some form of statism order imposed from above Integral Humanism (1936) and later works, he developed a systematic critique of the prevailing modem political ideologies and argued that a workable political order, which might appropriately be democracy, depended on a correct Understanding of human nature and of natural moral law. ‘Maritain became something of an Americanophile, seeking to counter not only what he regarded as European misconceptions about America but also the ‘Americans! own self-depreciation. In Reflections on ‘America (1958), he argued that Americans were not really materialistic but_were fe most idealistic people in the world, although their was an idealism ‘often unformed and lacking in philosophical bases. America he thought, offered perhaps the best ‘contemporary prospect for the emergence of a truly Christian civilization, based not on governmental decree but on the gradual realization of Christian values on the part of a majority of the population. ‘American saints were coming, he predicted. But his postulation of a possible Christian civilization in America did not in any way tamper his optimistic political liberalism - a facet of his thought which ‘used him to be held in suspicion by some his fellow Catholic students, (One of the exquisite ironies of recent Catholic history was that Marital in his last books was acerbically critical of secularizing priest, while the Domician chaplain resigned from the priesthood and ended his days as a real estate salesman in Florida). No doubt in part because of Raissa's background, Maritain had an enduring interest in aptisSemistism, which he analyzed and criticized in two books, and he was one of the principal influences in the fort to establish better Jewish-Catholic relations. Racism he regarded as America's most severe flaw. As early as 1958 he was praising Martin Luther King,Jr, and the (Chicago neighborhood organizer Saul Alinsky. Maritain and, to a lesser extent, Gilson provided the program for a bold kind of Catholic intllectuality an appropriation of medieval though for moder use, not so much a medieval revival as a demonstration of the Perennial relevance of the medieval philosophical achievement. The modern mind was to be brought back to its catholic roots, not by the simple disparagement of modemity or by emphasis on the subjective necessity of faith, but by a rigorous and demanding appeal to reason. In the process Scholastic principles would be applied in new and often daring ways in the 19405 SER Wei not tal fee Scholastic appeal persuasive. And, as is inevitable when an intellectual community is dominated so thoroughly by a single system of thought, a restiveness was building up in Catholic circles. Although Maritain insisted that Thomism, because of the central importance it gave to the act of existence, was the true existentialism, Catholic intellectuals of the 1950s were attracted to the movement which ‘more usually went by that name and Gabriel Marcel, 4 Catholic existentialist of the same generation as Gilson and Maritain, was available to mediate between faith and anguish. Catholic colleges in America were hospitable to existentialist and Phenomenological currents at a time when few secular institutions were, and what Catholics sought there was primarily a philosophy which was serious about the metaphysical questions of existence, yet not as rationalistic, rigid, and abstract as Scholasticism often seemed to be. 1, Maritain believed that Americans were 1.

PASSAGE - II Much as an electrical lamp transforms clectrical energy into heat and light, the visual ‘apparatus’ of human being acts as a transformer of light into sight. Light projected from a source or reflected by an ‘object enters the comea and lens of the eyeball. The ‘energy is transmitted to the retina of the eye whose rods and cones are activated. ‘The stimuli are transferred by nerve cells to the optic nerve and then to the brain. Man is a binocular animal, and the impressions from his two eyes are ‘translated into sight @ rapid, compound analysis of the shape, form, color, size position, and motion of the things he sees. T2007 -ENGLISH/CDC Photometry is the science of measuring light. The illuminating engineer and designer _ employ photometric data constantly in their work. In all the fields of application of light and lighting, they predicate their choice of equipment, lamps, wall finishes, colours of light and backgrounds, and other factors affecting the luminous and environmental pattern to be secured, in great part from data supplied ‘originally by a photometric laboratory. Today, extensive tables and charts of photometric data are used widely, constituting the basis for many details of design. Although the lighting designer may not be called ‘upon tothe detailed work of making measurements or Plotting data in the form of photometric curves and analyzing them, and understand ofthe terms used and their derivation form valuable background knowledge, ‘The perception of color is a complex visual sensation intimately related to light. The apparent color of an object depends primarily upon four factors: its ability to reflect various colors of light, the nature of the light by which itis seen, the color of its surroundings, and the characteristics and state of adaptation of the eye. In most discussions of color, distinction is made between white and colored objects. White is the color ‘name most usualy applied to a material that diffusely ‘transmits a high percentage of all the hues of light. Colors that have no hue are termed neutral or achromatic colors. They include white, off-white, all shades of gray, down to black. All coloured objects selectively absorb certain wave- Tengths of light and reflect or transmit others in varying degree. Inorganic materials, chiefly metals such as copper and brass, reflect light from their surfaces. Hence we have the term ‘surface’ or ‘metallic’ colours, as contrasted with ‘body’ or ‘pigment colors. In the former, the light reflected from the surface is often tinted ‘Most paints, on the other hand, have body or pigment colours. In these, light is reflected from the surface without much colour change, but the body material absorbs some colours and reflects others hence, the diffuse reflection from the body of the material is ‘coloured but often appears to be overlaid and difuted ‘with a ‘white’ reflection from the glossy surface of the paint film. In paints and enamels, the pigment particles which are usually opaque, are suspended in a vehicle such as oil or plastic. The particles of dye, cn the other hand, are considerably finer and may be described as coloring matter in solution. The dye particles are more often transparent or translucent.Light projected from a source enters the eyeball through the b retina ced Leone. brn 10.
