Abstract:

I wish to thank the editors of the Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era for giving me a chance to react to Richard Schneirov's engaging article on periodizing the Gilded Age. I tend to agree with his generalizations and approach to the subject, having only some small qualifications to offer, largely concerning the quest for periodization, the timing of the break from one type of society to another, and the role of the Civil War. It seems that modern historians have revised somewhat the comment of George III to Edward Gibbons, “Scribble, scribble, scribble, eh, Mr. Gibbons?” Now it has become, “Quibble, quibble, quibble, eh, Mr. Historian?” Well, such seems to be our fate. However, on one interpretation there is no quibbling at all: somewhere in the years called the Gilded Age came the mightiest transition that the society of the United States has ever experienced. The quote in the title of this short piece attests to the realization that such was the case: it is from the Brahmin historian, James Ford Rhodes writing about the Great Railroad Strike of 1877: “For we had hugged the delusion that such social uprisings belonged to Europe and had no reason of being in a free republic where there was plenty of room and an equal chance for all.” The political economy inherited from the Revolution had failed, and it was beginning to be recognized that a new political economy was emerging.

Abstract:

AbstractAlthough we agree with the spirit of Knobe's competence model, our aim in this commentary is to argue that the default position should be made more precise. Our quibble with Knobe's model is that we find it hard to ascribe a coherent view to some experimental subjects if the default position is not clearly defined.

In this essay I seek to clarify the unruly notion of emergence by describing three distinct varieties.

Abstract:

A principal enzima salivar responsável pela digestão dos carboidratos é a alfa-amilase. Entretanto, estudos sobre a presença desta enzima em bovinos são escassos e as vezes contraditórios. Diante disso, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi verificar a presença da atividade da enzima alfa-amilase em bovinos. O método usado para a determinação da enzima foi o colorimétrico modificado, utilizando para tal o kit comercial “Amilase Colorimétrica K003” ( Bioclin, Quibasa Química Básica Ltda, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brasil). A análise foi realizada mediante a visualização macroscópica da coloração após a amostra ser incubada com o substrato amido, e pela adição do iodo; o amido não hidrolisado adquire coloração azul/preta que diminui proporcionalmente à atividade enzimática, sendo comparado com um controle. Observou-se que nenhuma amostra apresentou resultados colorimétricos que apontam a presença da alfa amilase, sendo assim possível sugerir que, não há presença significativa desta proteína na saliva de bovinos que seja capaz de hidrolisar o amido.

AbstractWe wish to “quibble” with Murphy (2019). We mean this literally. That is, we are in strong and enthusiastic agreement with virtually everything he writes therein, except for one point: we think him guilty of allowing the cloven hoof of market failure into the Austrian tent. Our purpose in the present essay is to banish market failure from praxeological premises. To wit, he maintains that pure market processes such as a gold discovery can “distort” prices and interest rates, and we argue to the contrary.

Abstract:

Johnson cogently makes the case that in Luke–Acts the prophetic message articulates God’s vision for humanity: a message presented in words but also embodied in the deeds and character of the Church as a prophetic community. Luke’s perspective confronts the Church with an ongoing challenge to realize its full potential in living out this utopian vision. One might quibble with certain exegetical conclusions and points of emphasis within the argument but that does not detract from the valuable contribution made by this study.

Abstract:

A recent study visit to North America impressed on me the seriousness with which Australian psychiatry should consider the recent ideological shift in the USA to an extreme biological model of mental disorders [1]. There is increasing evidence that proponents of this model are not simply promoting the value of biological research (with which few psychiatrists would quibble), but that the field is at risk of being overwhelmed by a reductionistic “biologism” which assumes an organic causation for all abnormal human behaviour.

Abstract:

O presente estudo visa determinar a influência da multimistura (MM) sobre o ganho de peso materno e fetal e sobre a hipertrigliceridemia materna no final do período gestacional. Foram utilizadas ratas Wistar (n= 120), divididas em quatro grupos: a) à base da dieta habitual do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (HERJ); b) à base da dieta habitual do Estado do Rio de Janeiro adicionada de 2% de MM (HERJ+MM); c) à base de caseína (CAS1) com 12% de proteína; d) controle caseína (CAS2) com 20% de proteína. Os pesos materno e fetal foram registrados semanalmente nos dias 7, 14 e 21 do experimento. Para a determinação dos triglicerídeos séricos (mg/dL) foram usados Kits BioClin (Química Básica-Quibasa, BH). De acordo com os resultados, a complementação da dieta HERJ com 2% de multimistura não aumentou o ganho de peso materno e fetal e não alterou a hipertrigliceridemia fisiológica. Conclui-se que a utilização da multimistura, na proporção usada durante a gestação, não possui nenhum efeito sobre os parâmetros estudados.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTSingapore's Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) railway system is a highly effective and rather inexpensive way of getting around the Lion City, although locals sometimes complain about overcrowding in the carriages and about noise levels experienced in apartment blocks situated near the lines. Generally speaking, passengers are well provided with information too, including maps of the MRT system in the stations, screen data about train arrivals, and clearly enunciated announcements (in English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil) inside the carriages about upcoming stations and connections. However, one quibble can be raised about the English version of these announcements, which sometimes features the verb ‘to alight’. This is explored.

Abstract:

Dalglish's paper raises several interesting issues, both methodological and theoretical. At the heart of this paper is the proposition that archaeology can contribute to our understanding of capitalism, because local landscape studies (by archaeologists) provide us with a more informed view of the common people and the disenfranchised, and their ‘mundane daily existence’ (as a rationale for historical archaeology in general see Falk 1991). Dalglish argues the need to analytically separate capitalism (an ideology of the individual knowable from routine) from capitalist societies, where capitalist values are not uniformly embedded. Variability in local responses to capitalism is important to understanding regional processes of change over the last few hundred years. Few historical archaeologists would quibble with this.

Abstract:

Abstract In this essay, I reconsider the proposition that Erasmus’ The Praise of Folly is a satire—an attribution of genre that has long been treated as a truism. I argue that greater attention to several key sources can adjust our understanding of both the text and its kind. The article examines the early reception of Folly’s speech; a pivotal passage in the text itself; crucial translation choices; and Erasmus’ reflections on both his creation and the nature of satire. I investigate the idea of the Praise as a satire not to quibble about generic designations but to bring into relief Erasmus’ contribution to questions of creative licence during the Renaissance; in particular, the permissible scope of social critique, or how to approach the darker side of epideixis.

Abstract:

Weinberg pursues a simple question: What “visions” of the postwar world did the principal leaders of the major belligerent powers develop during the war? Weinberg's unsurpassed mastery of World War II as a global war allows him to pen eight compelling portraits of Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Chiang, Stalin, Churchill, de Gaulle, and Roosevelt and their ideas for the future positions of their country. Each essay constitutes a minor masterpiece of concision and erudition in and of itself. My only quibble is that Weinberg exclusively concentrates on the top leadership and ignores the lower working levels of postwar planning—there may have been less “vision” there but most of the “grunt” work was done by those planners. Much information in these portraits is known to specialists, but there are some surprising insights, too.

Full text

Abstract:

A continuing question about professional societies concerns the extent to which they should take on the roles of guilds or unions — essentially advocacy or lobbying bodies — as opposed to acting purely as scientific associations, facilitating the exchange of knowledge and techniques within their technical purviews. When I was president of the Geophysical Society of Houston (GSH), a suggestion was floated that GSH should consider efforts to support higher employment levels among geophysicists in Houston. No specific proposals were attached to this unemployment-reduction goal, and, of course, GSH was unable to hire geophysicists nor to substantively influence companies to reduce their layoff numbers. Still, no one could quibble with the notion that helping geophysicists advance their careers is a legitimate goal for a professional society, and arguably the central goal.

Abstract:

In about 2650 BC, a particular title was bestowed on a high Egyptian official... it reads: Wer-ibeh-senjw. Intriguingly, there are alternate translations of the award. Wer implies "Great one". Ibeh may be "dentition" but could also be "ivory". Senjw is a plural form meaning "arrows", or "cutters", or "physicians". So Wer-ibeh-senjw could translate to "Great one of the ivory cutters" or to "Great one of the dentists". The official is known as Hesy-Ra and his tomb was discovered by Auguste Mariette, a French archaeologist, in 1861, and excavated later by Egyptologist James Quibell. The tomb contained the clues as to which profession the official followed. The walls, 42 metres long, were covered with paintings and objects of daily life... and most relevant were six wooden panels some of which depicted Hesy-Ra in his practice of medicine and dentistry.

Abstract:

I am grateful for Eric Uslaner's thoughtful review of my book. The exchange between us highlights for me, above all, the benefits of reading and conversing across disciplinary boundaries. Uslaner correctly notes that my book refers relatively little to a vast political science literature on corruption. My aim was to understand corruption in Nigeria as it is experienced by ordinary citizens, rather than to contribute to Western analytical debates about (possibly) more universal aspects of corruption and its consequences. But I certainly acknowledge and accept that my own analysis and understanding (as well as the larger contribution of my book) would have benefited from a deeper engagement with the political science literature on corruption. I would quibble with his contrast between anthropologists' “stories” and political scientists' “data.” To me, real people's lives and narratives are among the most powerful data in the social sciences—but that is why I am an anthropologist.

In fact, if New Zealand was a truly just society, the teachings here would be a significant part of our school curriculum. Editor Susan Healy draws the outline in the first 95 pages. Her chapter raises the occasional quibble and sometimes seems to downplay how inextricably interwoven were the settler culture and the Christian church in 1800s New Zealand.

Full text

Abstract:

The Irish workhouse has had a troubled history, attracting mostly negative commentary from the inception of the national poor law system after 1838 to the final abolition of the poor law in Northern Ireland in 1948. The popular historian of the institution opens his account with the bald statement that ‘the workhouse was the most feared and hated institution ever established in Ireland’. While one might quibble with this (the penitentiaries and asylums of the nineteenth century were surely as much feared, and perhaps with more reason; the record of the industrial schools and Magdalene asylums has more recently attracted the appalled attention of Irish society), the statement contains a kernel of truth. Designed with the deterrent principle of ‘less eligibility’ to the forefront, and irrevocably associated with the horrors of mass mortality during the Great Famine, the workhouses became in Irish popular memory (and in the bulk of historical commentary) associated with the suffering and degradation of their inmates. Nevertheless, the early history of the poor law and its associated workhouses is more complex than this suggests and deserves closer attention.

Abstract:

Perry Miller, with characteristic lése majesté, told readers of his New England Mind that, if they wanted to see his footnotes, they would have to make a pilgrimage to the Harvard College Library (The Seventeenth Century [New York, 1939], p. ix). Times have changed, and at least some scholars have become more accommodating. Bruce Kuklick, for example, not only provided notes for his “New England Mind”—the superb recent study Churchmen and Philosophers from Jonathan Edwards to John Dewey (New Haven, 1985)—but now, through the good offices of Garland Publishing, has made available many of the sources to which those notes refer in American Religious Thought of the 18th and 19th Centuries: A Thirty-two Volume Set Reprinting the Works of Leading American Theologians from Jonathan Edwards to John Dewey and including Recent Dissertations (New York: Garland Publishing, 1988), $2,290. Kuklick and Garland deserve highest commendation for rescuing from unwarranted obscurity the authors and works reprinted here. The set's title may be inaccurate, and one may quibble about the exact lineup of books and articles included, but these volumes remain a magnificent achievement.

Abstract:

One of the indicators for the global importance of the anonymous Nibelungenlied certainly proves to be the great interest to develop new translations into modern languages, here English. William Whobrey, who used to teach at Yale University, endeavors to render this major epic poem, along with the sequel, the Klage, once again into an updated English version. He is fully aware of the many previous efforts and acknowledges them, but he insists that his translation deserves particular attention especially for three reasons. First, he worked hard to offer a maximum level of clarity particularly for the modern student reader, without moving too far away from the original Middle High German. Overall, Whobrey has achieved that goal, as numerous spot checks have confirmed. One can always quibble somewhat, so when he renders, for instance, “der Nibelungen nôt” in the very last line as “the downfall of the Nibelungen” (199). Moreover, there are many small issues that make me wonder, so when in stanza 208 it clearly says that “the warrior Hagen spoke,” which here is rendered as “commanded Hagen” (168). Hagen emphasizes that he and his companions (pl.) will keep watch, which Whobrey makes into the singular “My companion and I.” This could make sense, but it should have been annotated.

Abstract:

With great enthusiasm and excitement I turned to this English translation of the Erlauer Spiele, magisterially done by Stephen K. Wright, Professor Emeritus of English at the Catholic University of America, and I was not disappointed. With great philological skills and great aplomb he tackles his task and makes available five major Christmas and Easter plays from fifteenth-century Carinthia, today in Austria, from the first half of the fifteenth century, in English. He introduces us in a very learned, yet also very lucid and clearly structured manner to the genre itself and the specifics of those five plays. Then follow the five plays themselves in translation, which are thoroughly annotated. Subsequently, Wright offers very brief excerpts from Erlau I (ll. 27–44), Erlau II (ll. 319–56), Erlau III (ll. 560–622), Erlau IV (ll. 330–70), and Erlau V (ll. 277–311). Those allow us to carry out at least a brief comparison between the original late medieval German text and the English translation. I can confirm that Wright has done an excellent translation job, although one could quibble over small matters here and there (V, 287: “so wirt guldein unser har” is: “so our hair will turn golden,” and not: “then our hair must be golden too!”). Those appendices, however, do not help us much at all to get a sense of the original works.

Abstract:

An insistence on the broad similarities and structural linkages of migrations across the globe since the 1840s is important because it can clear the ground for more effective comparisons. Only after questioning the a priori distinction that privileges “modern” transatlantic migrations as categorically distinct from those in the rest of the world can we begin to understand each migrant and migrant flow as emerging from a distinct nexus of global, regional, local, and historical processes. I think I am in agreement with all of the participants in this forum on this basic point. Rather than quibble over numbers and definitions, all of the contributions have attempted to refine our historical comparisons and question some of the interpretive frameworks that are rooted in depictions of the Atlantic migrations as a norm. Once this global foundation is established, we can engage in the detailed empirical and conceptual work that will better address the sticky problems of numbers and categories. Who and what is actually being counted and not counted? When and why should we distinguish between long and short distance, or between international and domestic migration? How should we deal with return and repeat migrations? What is revealed or obscured by taking individuals, families or more extended networks as the basic units of migration? What is the practical or discursive significance of “free” migration?

Abstract:

It is becoming a commonplace in philosophical literature that physicalism need not be reductive. Non-reductive physicalism seems on the face of it to be a contradiction in terms. Some critics have called the idea of a physicalism without reduction “cheap materialism.” It is, of course, possible to quibble about who has the right to be called a physicalist and to play a game of “more physicalist than thou.” However, it would be more fruitful to develop a non-reductive version of physicalism and show that it retains something of the heart of the physicalist tradition while abandoning the reductionist program. John Post's Faces of Existence is just such a project. Post calls his position non-reductive physicalism. It might also be called Post-physicalist, post-dualist, post-relativist, post-everything. After Post, not much remains the same. While in many ways still just a sketch, Faces of Existence does attempt to do justice both to what he takes to be the basic intuitions of physicalism while jettisoning the reductionist program. There is no attempt to prove the truth of non-reductive physicalism in this book. The primary goal is to demonstrate the logical compatibility of a minimal physicalism and a non-reductive pluralism. Along the way we get an attempt to combine realist truth and the relativity of interpretation, to defend the objectivity of values, and to demonstrate the compatibility of some kind of theism with non-reductive physicalism.

Abstract:

Are socialists best regarded as those who are most truly and consistently committed to democracy, under modern industrial conditions? Is the underlying issue that divides liberals from socialists the degree of their wholeheartedness in affirming the ideal of a democratic society? On the liberal side, Friedrich Hayek has remarked: “It is possible for a dictator to govern in a liberal way. And it is also possible that a democracy governs with a total lack of liberalism. My personal preference is for a liberal dictator and not for a democratic government lacking in liberalism.” No doubt many socialists would wish to quibble with Hayek's free-market oriented conception of liberalism. But I am wondering whether the conceptual map implicit in Hayek's remark is apt. Hayek appears to assume that there are two independent lines of division, one marking greater and lesser commitment to liberal values, the other marking greater and lesser commitment to democratic procedures. According to the conception of socialism as democracy that I wish to examine, a better picture of the political landscape would show one line of division with gradations indicating greater and lesser commitment to democracy. On this continuum, socialists are located at the extreme pro-democratic end, those who favor autocracy at the other end, and liberals somewhere in the middle. The analyst who finds this latter conceptual picture the more illuminating of the two will say that Hayek reveals his rejection of socialism by being less than wholehearted in his support of democracy.

Abstract:

Technology tends toward perpetual innovation. Technology, enabled by both political and economic structures, propels society forward in a kind of technological evolution. The moment a novel piece of technology is in place, immediately innovations are attempted in a process of unending betterment. Bernard Stiegler suggests that, contra Heidegger, it is not being-toward-death that shapes human perception of time, life, death, and meaning. Rather, it is technological innovation that shapes human perception of time, life, death, and meaning. In fact, for Stiegler, human evolution has always been part of technological evolution. While one can quibble with the notion of human-technology co-evolution, there is something to be said for the way in which human perception of time, of ageing, and of death seems to be judged against the horizon of perpetual evolution of technological innovation. In this technological imaginary, of which modern medicine is constituent, ageing and death seemingly may be infinitely deferred, and it is this innovating deferral that shapes the contemporary social imaginary around ageing and death in modern medicine. Yet, the reality of living (which is to say ageing) and dying always manifests itself differently than the scripts given to us by the technological imaginary with its myth of endless innovation. In fact, I shall argue that, where the Church created an ars moriendi, the technological imaginary gives us an ars ad mortem when it becomes clear that ageing and death cannot be infinitely deferred. And further, I shall argue that the Church must revivify its ars vivendi—that is to say, its liturgies, its arts, its technics—as a counter narrative to the myth of perpetual innovation that shapes the technological imaginary.

Abstract:

The significance of the epistles on a range of intellectual disciplines by thegroup of scholars known as the Brethren of Purity (Ikhwan al-Safa’) has beenknown for some time, although one might argue that their significance for aproper assessment of Islamic intellectual history has been neglected. The116 The American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences 31:1book under review is part of an exciting new project initiated by the Instituteof Ismaili Studies in London to re-edit the whole text with critical analyticaltranslations and annotations undertaken by a number of specialists aroundthe world. For those of us who specialize in Islamic intellectual history andneed texts to use in the classroom, this is an excellent and most welcome development.The companion volume edited by el-Bizri, which attempts notonly to make sense of who the Ikhwan were but also to assess their impact,demonstrates that their significance was recognized by later traditions evenwhen it was occluded. One small quibble – it would have been good to seethe Arabic and English on facing pages, which may have been logisticallyproblematic. As it is, it makes the comparison of the original text with theEnglish a bit more difficult.The two epistles translated here are the first in the sequence and constitutepart of the first section of the Rasā’il on the mathematical and propaedeuticalsciences (al-‘ulūm al-riyādīyah al-ta‘līmīyah). Nader el-Bizri, thetranslator and editor of the series, is a historian of philosophy and science inthe Islamic world and has recently been focusing on the history of geometry,mathematics, and optics and publishing widely on Ibn al-Haytham (d. 1040).These two epistles form part of the ancient quadrivium that constituted amore advanced stage of study associated with Boethius (d. 524) and wasbased upon the mathematics of Nicomachus of Gerasa, a Neopythagoreanof the first century CE: training in arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomywere considered to be the very heart of a scientific education. After the firsttwo epistles, epistle 3 deals with astronomy, epistle 4 with cosmography,epistle 5 with music, and epistle 6 with proportions (that ties the quadriviumtogether) – and that is before they move onto the next set of propaeduetics,namely the logical organon beginning with epistles 7 and 8 (the theoreticaland practical arts) that provide a classification of the sciences on which theapproach to holism is based ...
