Abstract:

This chapter takes up a crucial debate between Christine Korsgaard and Bernard Williams on the subject of practical reason. Korsgaard argues that if reason can itself identify substantive ends for our actions, independent of our existing desires, then there is no genuine or distinct motivational problem about how reasons can move (rational) agents to action. In criticism of this, it is argued that when we sever the link between reasons and desires we encounter a problem about whether the internalism requirement holds for pure practical reasons. If Kantian ethical theory is to find some way to

Abstract:

This article sets out a model that attempts to integrate the various theoretical approaches to understanding motivation, embedded within a broadly systemic approach as proposed by Bronfenbrenner (1979) which suggests that the process of human development depends on mutual accommodation which occurs throughout the life-course between an individual and the various systems that they or others close to them encounter in their environment. The model recognizes the importance of cognitive factors and self-determination in behaviour. A detailed account is provided of what we know about each of the el

Abstract:

The unprecedented scope and pace of industrialization throughout the ‘long nineteenth century’ brought in its wake population growth and ever-rising demand for raw materials that, in turn, fuelled the imperial ambitions of Europe and the United States. At the same time, the railway revolution shrank travel times in all directions for both people and goods. Many colonization projects in this era masqueraded as exploration, involving European expansion into Africa and Asia as well as the development of maritime, deep sea, and polar exploration brought about by new technological innovations.

Abstract:

Clinicians commonly encounter multiple challenges when assessing and treating individuals with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Some of the major challenges include poor insight and low motivation for appropriate treatment, delay in seeking treatment, desire for usually ineffective cosmetic treatment (e.g., surgery or dermatologic treatment) instead of mental health treatment, co-occurring substance use disorders, and frequent and sometimes severe suicidality. This chapter discusses recommended approaches to these challenges that clinicians can implement when assessing and treating patients wit

Abstract:

Raymond A. Moody had been introduced to experiences near death by George G. Ritchie. The latter had reported of an experience in which he had encountered Christ. This chapter discusses Moody’s first book of 1975, its motivation and motives, and compares Moody’s description of systematized “near-death experiences” with Johann C. Hampe’s systematic account of the same year, characteristic for the continental discourse on experiences of the dying, which was equally interested in the spiritual significance of the reports.

Abstract:

In our contribution, we discuss language variation observed in the field of World Englishes from the perspective of language typology and universals research. The major motivation behind this approach is the assumption that, as contained linguistic systems, varieties are constrained by essentially the same mechanisms as languages. Taking the idea of cross-linguistic, and in that sense universal, generalizations as a starting point, we proceed to discussing patterns of variation in different Englishes encountered worldwide. In so doing, we draw on the concepts of markedness relations, frequency

Abstract:

Furniture is a unique witness to the transformations of private and public experience amidst the upheavals of the 20th century. How we work, rest and play are determined by the embodied encounter with furniture, defining and projecting a sense of identity and status, responding to and exemplifying contrasting social conditions, political and economic motivations, aesthetic predilections and debates. Assessing physical and archival evidence drawn from a spectrum of iconic and under-represented case studies, an international team of design historians collaborate in this volume to explore key met

Raabe examines some of the most perplexing problems a client may present to a counselor and how a philosopher would deal with them. He provides a detailed philosophical discussion as well as illustrative case studies of some of the most important issues encountered in any counseling practice. The first six chapters discuss philosophical counseling in general terms, while the following 15 chapters deal with specific life issues such as the differences between how men and women communicate and how this is relevant to a counseling discussion, the role of medication in therapy, the concept of norm

With chapter 6 having described the way norms for mental-state ascriptions operate in a top-down manner in discourse domains, chapter 7 explores how individual narratives can in turn have a bottom-up impact on the ascriptive norms circulating within particular domains. To this end, the chapter discusses how Thalia Field’s 2010 experimental narrative Bird Lovers, Backyard employs a strategic oscillation between two nomenclatures that can be used to profile nonhuman as well as human behaviors: (1) the register of action, which characterizes behavior in terms of motivations, goals, and projects;

Abstract:

This article discusses the use of nanoSQUIDs for investigating small magnetic systems. It begins with an overview of the basics of superconducting quantum interference devices, focusing on how a dc SQUID operates and the use of resistively and capacitively shunted junction model to describe the phase dynamics of Josephson junctions (JJs). It then considers the motivation for using nanoSQUIDs, along with the importance of their size and geometry. It also evaluates micro- and nanoSQUIDs made of various types of JJs including nanoSQUIDs based on sandwich-like junctions, constriction-like junction

Global exploration in the Early Modern era involved maritime exploration across the globe, Ottoman contributions to exploration, European expansion into Africa, the Americas, and Europe; the establishment of ambassadorial networks that brought people from around the world to other continents; the American encounter with Europe; and even advances into the polar regions. Heralded as bringing ‘civilization’ to non-European lands, and bolstered by Christian faith along with social, political, and technological infrastructure, European exploration in this period changed the world in fundamental and

This book addresses the ways in which the Gospel of Matthew portrays and negotiates Roman military power. John E. Christianson argues that Matthew, writing in the years following the Jewish War, offers strategies such as avoidance, accommodation, non-violent resistance, mimicry, and dreams of divine retribution and eschatological fulfillment to help his audience cope with life in Roman Syria. With an eye toward the ways that military structures and networks of social power functioned to increase imperial control over people and territory, Christianson shows how Matthew's strategies include way

Church Architecture of Late Antique Northern Mesopotamia examines the church architecture of Northern Mesopotamia between the fourth and eighth centuries. It focuses on settlements, plan types, artistic encounters, the remarkable continuity of the classical tradition in the architectural decoration, the heterogeneity of the building techniques, patrons, imperial motivations, dedications of churches, and stories that claim and make spaces.

Abstract:

A contest is afoot in Muslim discourses around the world in the twenty-first century. Prevalent norms and acts are subject to competing motivations, trends and forces. The image of a monolithic Islam is thus wholly inadequate to identify and interpret the different expressions of Muslim thought and practice in their specific yet connected contexts. This book proposes competing and persuasive perspectives for interpreting what Muslims say, do and think in collective settings or in the light of common frames of reference. The chapters contained in this book reflect a diversity of disciplines and

Exploration in the Middle Ages involved Europeans’ travels throughout Asia, Norse travels to North America, Chinese voyages around South Asia, Polynesian (Oceanian) exploration and colonization in the Pacific, Austronesian colonization of Madagascar, Arawak/Taino colonization of the Caribbean, and Aztec expansion in Mesoamerica. With motives varying from settlement to the expansion of trade, from religious conversion to the pursuit of alliances, and with methods both peaceful and warlike, it was a period of extensive global integration: Muslim expansion and travel into Europe, Africa, and Asia

Given the popularity of the nineteenth-century sentimental novel, the appearance of its central motifs—tearful embraces, fainting heroines, angelic children—
