Abstract:

This chapter explores the image Plutarch created of the end of Athenian Democracy. Its aim is to show that Plutarch conceived of this end through the lens of the theatre, and to explore the origins of this portrayal. It makes this argument through close study of the intersection of theatre and politics in Plutarch’s Life of Phocion. Plutarch expresses the political significance of crucial moments by drawing attention to their theatrical dimension. Theatrical venues, self-presentation, staging, speech, and props are used in order to create an emotional impact on an Athenian audience. Since Plut

Each Concentrate revision guide is packed with essential information, key cases, revision tips, exam Q&As, and more. Concentrates show you what to expect in a law exam, what examiners are looking for, and how to achieve extra marks. This chapter discusses freehold covenants. Freehold covenants are promises extracted by one freehold owner (the covenantee) from another freehold owner (the covenantor), whereby the latter promises either to do (positive covenant) or not to do (negative covenant) something over his land. The land burdened by the promise becomes the servient tenement. The land b

Abstract:

A population-based approach takes account of the needs of the people within a given population. A key aspect of this is reducing unwarranted variation and addressing both the underuse of high-value interventions and the overuse of low-value interventions. In the context of end-of-life care, high-value interventions are those that enhance quality of life. In contrast, low-value interventions are those that are futile, those that negatively impact on quality of life, and those that are not in line with the person’s wishes. Advance care planning (ACP) is a means by which a person can document the

Das Konzept Planetary Health befasst sich mit den Zusammenhängen zwischen der Gesundheit des Menschen und der Gesundheit unseres Planeten. Bereits jetzt hat die zunehmende Zerstörung der Ökosysteme durch die raumgreifende Lebensweise des Menschen negativen Einfluss auf unsere Gesundheit, zuvorderst durch Umweltverschmutzung, Artensterben und die voranschreitende Klimakrise. Diese zunehmende Überschreitung planetarer Grenzen ist für die Gesellschaften eine beispiellose Herausforderung. Es gilt nun, diese Entwicklung im Kontext von Gesundheit und Medizin zu berücksichtigen – und die Wissenschaft

Abstract:

To date, most research on workplace discrimination has focused on the targets of discrimination, but there is a growing body of literature examining the impact of discrimination from the perpetrators’ perspective. Because of social and legal pressures, perpetrators not only tend to deny accusations of discrimination but also are apt to avoid interacting with stigmatized individuals. Perpetrators’ initial responses to being confronted about discrimination often include negative affective and cognitive reactions, which depend on who confronts them and how accusations are framed.

Abstract:

This chapter’s goal is to survey Ashaninka Satipo (Arawak) commanding communicative moves. It argues that imperatives form a paradigm consisting of the first person cohortative construction with the discourse particle tsame ‘come on’, second person canonical imperative construction characterized by a special intonation, and the third person jussive construction formed either with the intentional =ta on the lexical verb or on the copula kant ‘be this way’. In positive commands, the verbs are inflected for irrealis. The canonical imperative has a negative counterpart, whereas the cohortative and

Abstract:

The assessment of elderly patients should differ from that of younger adults. The overall function of elderly patients is influenced by factors other than their medical diagnoses. When the medical problems of elderly patients are assessed, it is important to assess additional factors: functional status, cognitive capacity, financial resources, and the safety and appropriateness of their domicile. It also is wise to address advance directives with all geriatric patients. Appropriate preventive screening should be a part of the assessment of the elderly who are in good health.

Abstract:

I inquire into Rousseau’s and Smith’s views on moral psychology and on the role of interaction for people’s moral development. The question is whether Smith’s account of sympathy and the origin of people’s respect for others as their equals (recognition respect) was inspired by Rousseau’s pitié and amour-propre. I answer this question in the negative and argue that Smith proposed a more optimistic account of the possible effects of human interaction than Rousseau did. According to Rousseau, interpersonal comparisons feed our amour-propre, the wish to be admired by others; for our moral develop

Abstract:

The Paradox of Trauma and Growth in Pastoral and Spiritual Care: Night Blooming introduces and bridges the gap between the psychological and spiritual perspectives and responses in trauma work, illuminating the complexity of the human phenomenon of growth though suffering that is too easily misunderstood in the context of pastoral and spiritual care. Through the hopeful metaphor of night bloomers, rare plants that grow because of light, but bloom in the darkness, it is suggested that while psychological trauma is inherently negative, and suffering creates a spiritual inner night, moving throug

Abstract:

Encountering Eve’s Afterlives: A New Reception Critical Approach to Genesis 2-4 aims to destabilise the persistently pessimistic framing of Eve as a highly negative symbol of femininity within Western culture by engaging with marginal, and even heretical, interpretations that focus on more positive aspects of her character. In doing so it questions the myth that orthodox, popular readings represent the ‘true’ meaning of the first woman’s story, and explores the possibility that previously ignored or muted rewritings of Eve are in fact equally ‘valid’ interpretations of the biblical text.By sta

Abstract:

We use evaluative terms and concepts every day, in talk of ethics, aesthetics, politics, and when we discuss common-or-garden issues. We call actions right and wrong, teachers wise and ignorant, and children annoying and angelic. Philosophers place evaluative concepts into two camps. Thin concepts, such as goodness and badness, and rightness and wrongness have evaluative content, but they supposedly have no or hardly any nonevaluative, descriptive content: they supposedly give little or no specific idea about the character of the person or thing described. In contrast, thick concepts such as k

Written by a longtime psychiatrist who is himself gay, this unique guide will help parents deal with discovering they have a gay son, allowing them to more comfortably “come out of their closet as their son comes out of his.” This is the first book to focus on the parents of gay sons and the mixed feelings they may have following a son’s revelation that he is gay. On the one hand, parents want to be honest and open both about and with their son. On the other, they sometimes wish to cover up or ignore their son’s sexuality—then are ashamed of themselves for feeling that way. The goal of this bo

Abstract:

Wherever and whenever they appear, new religious movements always produce conflict. Even as they attract members who enthusiastically embrace their innovative teachings, new religions often provoke strongly negative reactions—often because they challenge established notions of proper religious action, belief, and morality. Opponents of new religious movements often brand them as cults and urge their fellow citizens, their own religions, and even the government to take action against what they see as suspicious and potentially dangerous movements; the members often complain that their motives h

During the 1950s and 1960s True Detective magazine developed a new way of narrating and understanding murder. It was more sensitive to context, gave more psychologically sophisticated accounts, and was more willing to make conjectures about the unknown thoughts and motivations of killers than others had been before. This turned out to be the start of a revolution, and, after a century of escalating accounts, we have now become a nation of experts, with many ordinary people able to speak intelligently about blood-spatter patterns and organized vs. disorganized serial killers.

This book is concerned with the effects of European migration policy on migrants in the Global South. In particular, it uncovers how border enforcement policies and the crackdown on irregular migration affect the life of migrants in so called ‘transit’ countries outside the European Union. The material for this study is based on ethnographic research in Morocco with migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa. The book is mainly concerned with the human and social effects of immobility during the migratory journey. It describes how migration policies in and outside Morocco contribute to a situation where

Abstract:

This book views history through the lens of nothingness. Lao-tzu and Buddha inaugurated a tradition of relativizing ‘nothing’. In response to the Confucian “What should be done?” the nature-loving Taoist answers: “Nothing,” that is, no action. Lao-tzu seeks a niche for the individual through omission. You harmonize with the greater whole by avoiding the dissonance of action. In contrast, Buddha denies the presupposition that there exists an individual who needs to fit in with a larger whole. All wholes are fabrications. A tower of bricks is just a collection of bricks arranged tower-wise. Sinc
