    Sixty-five years of theories of the multiaxial flower.A. D. J. Meeuse - 1972 - Acta Biotheoretica 21 (3-4):167-202.
    A critical appraisal of the theories founded on the theorem of the multiaxial flower , shows an evolution fromWettstein's original version of 1907 to various hypotheses founded on the the same theme and partly derived from the Wettsteinian doctrine. A number of circumstances such as semantic inconsistencies, but principally the choice of inadequate archetypes, prevented the success of the theory of a polystachyous floral region, because the deductions and interpretations emanating from this concept were not sufficiently convincing to defeat the (...)

    Understanding and the Emotions.J. M. E. Moravcsik - 1982 - Dialectica 36 (2‐3):207-224.
    SummaryWe need to classify emotions as objectual and non‐objectual. Some of the objectual emotions are dependent on the characterizations of their objects. So in these cases reason guides the emotions. But there are also other cases in which the conceptual dependency goes the other way. in the case of aesthetic judgments and certain types of judgments involving purpose, or compassion, the ability to make these judgments is dependent on being in certain emotional states. Thus in some cases emotions aid and (...)

    Jan H.A. Lokin/Roos Meijering, Anatolius and the Excerpta Vaticana et Laurentiana.J. Michael Rainer - 2005 - Byzantinische Zeitschrift 97 (1):219-222.
    Die Reedition der von den Verfassern nunmehr Excerpta Vaticana et Laurentiana genannt wird, findet ihre Begründung darin, dass der Erstherausgeber, der berühmt Rechtshistoriker Contardo Ferrini offenbar auf eine Kollationierung beider Codices verzichtet hat und im Übrigen, aus welchen Gründen auch immer, bei der Edition selbst nicht unwesentliche Versehen verschuldet hat. Der Codex Vaticanus Palatinus ist wohl in der ersten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts entstanden, der Codex Laurentianus 80.6 in der ersten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts. Grundsätzlich sind die Verfasser der Meinung, (...)

    An analysis of persistence in population systems.J. Westenberg - 1960 - Acta Biotheoretica 13 (4):145-160.
    Es wird versucht etwaige Mechanismen zu erdenken, die das Fortleben in Bevölkerungssystemen fördern könnten. Die Betrachtung eines äusserst vereinfachten Schemas führt zur Abfassung des Begriffes der „Beständigkeit gewährenden Nahrungsdichte“. Dieser Begrifff ergibt den Schlüssel zur Betrachtung des Konsument-Nahrung-Verhältnisses und dessen lenkenden Rückkoppelung. Diese Lenkung kann einigermassen geändert werden durch die Beschwerde die die Dichte einer Bevölkerung ergeben kann. Dieselbe Prinzipien lassen sich weiter anwenden auf die Nahrungskette. Sodann bedarf das System noch einer Erweiterung durch Einführung paralleler Komponenten. Solange diese parallele (...)

    Unterlassungen und ihre Folgen: Handlungs- und kausalitätstheoretische Überlegungen.J. Carl Bottek - 2014 - Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck.
    English summary: In moral and juridical contexts omissions are phenomena of high normative relevance. However, they are rather unwieldy for reconstructions based on action and causation theory and therefore also for a normative evaluation. From the perspective of action theory, the question of how the concepts of 'omission' and 'action' relate to one another is of particular interest: are these contrasting terms, or does the concept of 'action' comprise its negative counterpart? Even more significant in the normative debate on omissions, (...)

  9. Against Virtue Parsimony: Markets, Good Intentions, and Political Life.A. J. Walsh - unknown
    We inhabit a world in which the market is a dominant institutional form of social organization. This influence is not without its critics, and there is considerable debate amongst political philosophers and policy-makers about whether the range of the market should expand or contract and, further, about the extent to which the market should be subject to constraints and government regulation. The expansion of the market into realms hitherto unknown is the theme of a number of recent books, including Michael (...)

    Der „biologische aufstieg“ und seine kriterien.P. S. J. Overhage - 1957 - Acta Biotheoretica 12 (2):81-114.

Deux groupes de critères y sont recensés en détail, leur contenu est (...)

    Futures in Pindar.W. J. Slater - 1969 - Classical Quarterly 19 (01):86-.
    J. Wackernagel and E. Löfstedt have both drawn attention to Pindar's ‘Neigung, das Futurum zu setzen bei Verben, die eine jetzt vorhandene, aber auf zukünftiges Tun abzielende Willensrichtung ausdrücken’. But they regarded this as a purely grammatical phenomenon, and did not note that the Pindaric use is practically limited to statements of the type, ‘I shall sing, glorify, testify, etc.’. It was E. Bundy who first drew attention to the conventional nature of these futures and so ended years of misunderstanding. (...)

    Die Endgültigkeit der Vorläufigkeit: Prozessualität als Argumentationsstrategie.Siegfried J. Schmidt - 2009 - Weilerswist: Velbrück Wissenschaft.
    Wie wirklich ist die Wirklichkeit? Können wir einen sicheren erkennenden Zugang zu”der Wirklichkeit“gewinnen? Und wie ist die Wahrheit bzw. die Objektivität dieses Zugangs zu bewerten? Welche Rolle spielt die Sprache beim Umgang mit”der Wirklichkeit“? Dominiert im Erkenntnisprozess das Subjekt oder das Objekt? Ja, gibt es überhaupt etwas”da draußen“, oder ist alles nur unsere Konstruktion? In immer neuen Beschreibungsanläufen wird in diesem Buch versucht, plausible Zusammenhänge zwischen Themen aus dem weiten Umkreis der Wirklichkeitsdebatten herzustellen. Es geht, wie H. Putnam u.a. zu (...)

    How to Say Things with Walls.A. J. Skillen - 1980 - Philosophy 55 (214):509 - 523.
    I want to discuss a view of punishment which stresses its ‘expressive’ character and seeks in that its justification. While I shall label this view ‘expressionism’, I should warn that most theorists who express an ‘expressionist’ view do not present it as an exhaustive account, but rather claim to be highlighting an aspect that tends to be neglected within the rationalist framework common to retributivism and utilitarianism. Among contemporary writings I shall focus on Joel Feinberg's article, ‘The Expressive Function of (...)

    Lachen - Ein Inkognito von Religion: Befreiung Zur Wirklichkeit.William J. Hoye - 2021 - Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden.
    Lachen ist eine alltägliche und doch zugleich rätselhafte Erscheinung. In ihr verbirgt sich ein tieferer Sinn, der sich bei näherem Hinsehen mit dem von Religion deckt. Das ist den meisten Menschen kaum bewusst. Lachen hebt den Widerspruch, der sich im Komischen zeigt, auf eine höhere Ebene. Es löst den Widerspruch nicht auf, aber stellt ihn mit Wohlwollen in den Zusammenhang eines umfassenden Ganzen, wobei Negatives, auch das Leid, darin eingeschlossen wird. Als Leitmotiv der in diesem Buch durchgeführten Auseinandersetzung mit Denkern (...)

    Contesting the science/ethics distinction in the review of clinical research.A. J. Dawson & S. M. Yentis - 2007 - Journal of Medical Ethics 33 (3):165-167.
    Recent policy in relation to clinical research proposals in the UK has distinguished between two types of review: scientific and ethical. This distinction has been formally enshrined in the recent changes to research ethics committee structure and operating procedures, introduced as the UK response to the EU Directive on clinical trials. Recent reviews and recommendations have confirmed the place of the distinction and the separate review processes. However, serious reservations can be mounted about the science/ethics distinction and the policy of (...)

  18. Directed organ donation: is the donor the owner?A. J. Cronin & D. Price - 2008 - Clinical Ethics 3 (3):127-131.
    The issue of directed donation of organs from deceased donors for transplantation has recently risen to the fore, given greater significance by the relatively stagnant rate of deceased donor donation in the UK. Although its status and legitimacy is explicitly recognized across the USA, elsewhere a more cautious, if not entirely negative, stance has been taken. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the Human Tissue Act 2004, and in Scotland the Human Tissue (Scotland) Act 2006, are both silent in this (...)

    Quelques remarques sur l'holisme dans la pensée grecque.H. J. Pos - 1943 - Acta Biotheoretica 7 (3-4):183-192.
    Die griechische Weltauffassung unterscheidet sich van der modernen durch den Gedanken der Begrenztheit des Weltalls, das sich dem spekulativen Blick seinem Wesen nach erschliesst. Die inPlaton's Timaios gipfelnde Kosmologie bestimmt das Weltall nach den Wesensgesichtspunkten der Endlichkeit, der Einzigkeit, der Lebendigkeit und der Vollkommenheit.Platon's Holismus bezieht die leblose und die lebende Natur unter die Idee des Lebens des Kosmos, dessen „Teile” die in der Erfahrung gegebenen Lebenserscheinungen sind.

    The Causality of God in Spinoza’s Philosophy.A. J. Watt - 1972 - Canadian Journal of Philosophy 2 (2):171 - 189.
    Spinoza’s Ethics must contain some of philosophy’s most baffling statements. All things are animate; the order and connection of ideas is the same as the order and connection of things: what would I be committed to in agreeing with these doctrines? His austere mode of exposition, sparing of illustrations and discursive explanations, ensures that any answer must be highly speculative.His weakness for dark sayings seems to have communicated itself to some of his best-known commentators. Of course where a philosopher’s thought (...)

    Artificial gametes: new paths to parenthood?A. J. Newson - 2005 - Journal of Medical Ethics 31 (3):184-186.
    A number of recent papers have described the successful derivation of egg and sperm precursor cells from mouse embryonic stem cells—so-called “artificial” gametes. Although many scientific questions remain, this research suggests numerous new possibilities for stem cell research and assisted reproductive technology, if a similar breakthrough is achieved with human embryonic stem cells. The novel opportunities raised by artificial gametes also prompt new ethical questions, such as whether same-sex couples should be able to access this technology to have children who (...)

    An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion. [REVIEW]A. J. W. - 1969 - Review of Metaphysics 23 (2):346-346.
    This is a surprisingly good book. Published by Longmans in Great Britain as part of a series on "Education Today," it provides a very lucid and cogent first glimpse at the discipline of the philosophy of religion. The author's perspective is derivative of the analytic school, but what makes the book so valuable is that Goodall relates linguistic distinctions to Biblical categories. The author makes it obvious that he is a believer and authenticates the conviction that one can be a (...)

    Consider the following dilemma. If it is possible to identify the cause of a person's action and beliefs - causes that are outside the agent's own conscious reasoning - in what sense can we say that the person chooses what she does or she thinks? If the person did not consciously choose, then it is reasonable to ask whether she should be held morally responsible for any of the subsequent consequences of her actions. This is the general territory of the (...)

    Albert O. Hirschman was a development economist and political theorist whose work is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding how economic life figures in the political worlds we inhabit and the ways in which we give meaning to our lives in market-based societies. Perhaps best known for the distinction between 'exit' and 'voice', Hirschman was a prolific theorist who wrote about the role individual moral virtue and individual self-interest should play in economic activity, how economic growth in the developing (...)

    Jason Stanley argues in his new book that propaganda is more prevalent within liberal democracies - and is of far greater concern - than is typically assumed. Indeed, Stanley suggests that the very idea that propaganda only proliferates within authoritarian regimes, which have ministries set aside for its production, is a central tenet of the propaganda of the West. Stanley's aim in this book is to outline the distinctive features of propaganda within a liberal democracy. On his account, the 'flawed (...)

    Over the past 50 years, we have witnessed a revolution in the organisation and social understanding of elite sport. Elite sport has been commercialised. Top-level athletes have become professionals who often receive remarkable levels of income and sporting events, such as the World Cup, are multi-billion dollar exercises that attract enormous levels of sponsorship. Many sports, such as cricket, have been substantially revamped in order to make them more appealing to mass audiences and, accordingly, more beneficial to sponsors and many (...)

  30. The Mandevillean Conceit and the Profit-motive.A. J. Walsh & A. J. Lynch - unknown
    Invisible Hand accounts of the operations of the competitive market are often thought to have two implications for morality as it confronts economic life. First, explanations of agents economic activities eschew constitutive appeal to moral notions; and second, such moralism is pernicious insofar as it tends to undermine the operations of a socially valuable social process. This is the Mandevillean Conceit. The Conceit rests on an avarice-only reading of the profit-motive that is mistaken. The avarice-only reading is not the only (...)

    Living-donor kidney transplantation is the “gold standard” treatment for many individuals with end-stage renal failure. Superior outcomes for the graft and the transplant recipient have prompted the implementation of new strategies promoting living-donor kidney transplantation, and the number of such transplants has increased considerably over recent years. Living donors are undoubtedly exposed to risk. In his editorial “underestimating the risk in living kidney donation”, Walter Glannon suggests that more data on long-term outcomes for living donors are needed to determine whether (...)
