Abstract:
Pierre Bayle was a defender of toleration whose distinctive contribution was to show that the limits of religious toleration could not coherently be drawn by an appeal to religious truth. In circumstances in which the truth of the matter was at issue, any such move would lead its advocate to beg the question: an appeal to religious truth could not help adjudicate a dispute about religious truth. The wider implication of this is that the limits to toleration cannot be drawn by appeal to moral truth either—at least in circumstances in which moral truth is disputed. If toleration is limited, it w

Class, for some on the radical left, and especially those in the Communist Party, was not just an economic identity. It was also one earned through conduct, particularly a commitment to political activism, sobriety and self-improvement. This was, of course, a culture that had always enjoyed a limited appeal; during the inter-war period, however, this appeal was restricted further by the rise of mass democracy, which undermined the necessary sense of political exclusion.

Braddick explores how John Lilburne used Christian tropes of suffering and martyrdom to dramatize imperilled civic liberties rather than the true religion. His sufferings grew out of his religious commitments, but his public appeal was to all Englishmen, many of whose religious beliefs he would have found objectionable: what he had in common with them was his legal inheritance, not a shared religious identity. This line of argument was more comprehensible to later generations than the more inspired spiritual radicalism of many of his contemporaries, and his example continued to appeal to eight

If it lacks minimal competence to track the truth, good government is impossible. Even though a lot of dispersed information is available that would help to make competent decisions, governments can fail to collect and aggregate this information. ‘Wisdom of crowds’ arguments appeal to the idea that random noise cancels so that the aggregation of many opinions leads to elimination of errors, which is epistemically valuable. This insight is formalized in Condorcet’s jury theorem. Many objections have been levelled against the theorem or its limited applicability, but we argue that the objections

This chapter presents what is arguably the most influential and widespread Christian approach to herem texts: the appeal to divine command theory to account for their counterintuitive morality. The structure of the argument is simple and straightforward: since God only commands what is good, and since God commanded the annihilation of the Canaanites, the latter must be good, our moral intuitions to the contrary notwithstanding. The main proponents of this approach whose work is discussed here are Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, and John Calvin. In addition to a detailed treatment of these

God’s being holy consists in God’s being someone with whom intimate union is both extremely desirable for us and yet something for which we—and indeed any limited beings—are unfit.

Abstract:
Furcy’s final appeals in Paris and Isle Bourbon overturned two colonial courts’ decisions (which were probably never actually issued), and allowed him to claim his freedom and damages from the heirs of Joseph Lory. The Parisian grounds for the decision—that Furcy’s mother, Madeleine, had set foot on the free soil of France some seventy years earlier—reflected the present politics of the July Monarchy. The Free Soil grounds for the decision also severely limited the number of slaves who could be freed as a result, especially as compared with the argument that Furcy’s Indian descent made him fre

Abstract:
This chapter discusses another type of equilibrium-spin current similar to the exchange-spin current—the topological spin current. Topological spin currents are driven by topological-band structure and classified into bulk and surface topological spin currents. The former is confined onto electron-band manifolds, sometimes affecting their motions. This confinement is addressed through the standard method of combining the equations of motion and the Boltzmann equation for semi-classical electrons in a band. The latter class, on the other hand, is a surface-spin current, which is limited near su

Abstract:
Section 11.2 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) deals with the plurality of obligees in a contractual setting. Where an obligor is bound towards a plurality of obligees, various issues arise. The main questions concern the relationship between the obligees and the obligor, and the relationship between the obligees. Section 11.2 provides for three types of plurality of obligees: separate claims, joint and several claims, and joint claims. This Section appears to be only of limited assistance. Substantial rules are provided only for one type of plurality whic

Abstract:
First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics, this updated volume explores policy failures and the valuable opportunities for learning that they offer. The book begins with an overview of policy learning and policy failure. The links between the two appear obvious, yet there are very few studies that address how one can learn from failure, learn to limit failure, and fail to learn. The book attempts to bring the two together. In doing so, it explores how dysfunctional forms of policy learning impact policy failure at the meso-level. The book expands on this by demonstrating how

Abstract:
The embodied approach claims to return the mind to the body. This book returns the body to the mind. Let us leave aside what the body can do for cognition and focus on what it feels like to have a body. We constantly receive a flow of information about it, and yet the phenomenology of bodily awareness is relatively limited. It seems at first sight reducible to the “feeling of the same old body always there” or to a mere “feeling of warmth and intimacy” (James, 1890, p. 242). But when our body becomes less familiar we can grasp the many ways our body can appear to us. In particular, the experie

Abstract:
Rufinamide, lacosamide, and perampanel are third-generation agents licensed for use as antiepileptic drugs in recent years. Clinical experience is still limited, and little is known about their positive and negative psychotropic properties or their implications for the management of behavioural symptoms in patients with epilepsy. There are initial reports of anxiety, depression, irritability, and agitation in patients with epilepsy treated with rufinamide, whereas depression, irritability, agitation, and psychotic symptoms have been reported during lacosamide treatment.

Consistent with trends in adults, the weight-control practices of children and adolescents appear to reflect a heightened concern with body image.7,16–20 The potential long-term consequences of inappropriate weight-control practices in young people are serious and include disordered eating practices,21–23 growth retardation, delayed menarche, amenorrhoea, osteoporosis, and psychological disturbances.12,24–26 The commonly employed weight-control practices, dietary modification, and exercise are pervasive,8 and not limited to the female population.
