Abstract:

The article substantiates the doctrine of Zionism as a post-socialist system and the national idea of modern Russia. The basis of civilizationism is civil property, the right of every citizen to an equal share of the socialist inheritance (national property). In the current circumstances, to achieve a real socio-political agreement in the country, to overcome the war for property, to really recognize the results of previous reforms by society and to support new transformations, a fair social contract on the creation of a civil property fund is necessary.

Abstract:

This book is an authoritative guide to the rules of international law governing the navigational and non-navigational uses of international rivers, lakes, and groundwater. The continued growth of the world’s population places increasing demands on Earth’s finite supplies of fresh water. Because two or more States share many of the world’s most important drainage basins, competition for increasingly scarce fresh water resources will only increase. Agreements between the States sharing international watercourses are negotiated, and disputes over shared water are resolved, against the backdrop of

The idea that states should provide a means-tested guaranteed minimum income for citizens who are unable to meet their basic needs is widely shared and has been a central component in the evolution of social citizenship rights in existing welfare states.

Indeed, some political philosophers have argued that basic income is one of the most

These factors are driving change regarding the United States’ defense posture and access agreements abroad.

Chapter 43 concerns mutual mistakes, or more accurately, shared mistaken factual assumptions. In analyzing this type of case it is useful to begin with shared mistaken factual assumptions that are made explicit in a contract. If a contract is explicitly based on a shared factual assumption that turns out to have been mistaken, normally the mistake should furnish a basis for relief as a matter of interpretation. The general principle that should govern shared mistaken factual assumptions that are not made explicit in a contract is as follows: Where a shared mistaken factual assumption would pro

Addictive disorders are moderately to highly heritable, indicating that alleles transmitted from parents are protective, or enhance risk by whatever mechanisms. However, the inheritance of addictive disorders is complex, involving hundreds of genes and variants that are both common and rare, and that vary in effect size and context of action. Genes altering risk for addictions have been identified by pathway and candidate gene studies in humans and model organisms, and genomic approaches including genome-wide association, meiotic linkage, and sequencing.

Both of these replies appeal to a positive aspect of the priority of substance over its modes: that modes are in and conceived through their substances.

The biological basis of adjustment disorders examines the evidence for the biological factors associated with this common diagnosis. Although adjustment disorder is usually characterized as a disorder of psychological adjustment to life stressors, and while it shares overlapping psychopathology with both normal stress response and with major depression, there is evidence that the diagnosis may have pathophysiological characteristics that distinguish it from both.

Expectation from health research funders, regulatory agencies, and journals for sharing of de-identified individual-level health research data has been increasing. Arguments in favour of data sharing include maximising the utility of the data, improving research transparency and allowing confirmation of the interpretation of results, with the overall goal of improving science and health. However, the volume of data shared remains low. This has been partially attributed to lack of data management capacity and lack of knowledge of how and where to share data.

Abstract:

This chapter presents a working definition of metaphor (Upacāra) on the basis of the common features that underlie its understanding by the various Indian schools of thought. In particular, it examines the understanding of metaphor in the early works of the Mīmāṃsā and Nyāya schools, which address the issue as part of their broader discussion of the denotation of nouns. The discussion establishes that while these schools’ theories of meaning share much of their basic understandings of the mechanism of metaphor, their interpretations can be seen as archetypes of the two poles of Indian thinking

It is these relations of patrilineality between those who share descent that are paradigmatic of what can be called “sociality of descent.” Such a mode of sociality is characterized by obligatory mutual assistance, shared identity, and the potential for inequality.

Formal organizations and markets constitute the basic forms of the economy.

We argue that such a perspective is rarely useful. Markets and organizations share at least one characteristic: they are both organized. We define market and organization and describe how markets and formal organizations are connected and similar in several respects.

Contrary to what is often claimed, concubines and their progeny enjoyed a significant presence in elite Arab families well before the Abbasid era, and there is little evidence to suggest that either mothers or their of

Using a number of examples from William Shakespeare’s plays, the chapter argues that the eventuality of a stage play thrusts spectators into the drama of ‘being there’, of seeing and hearing ‘what happens, as it happens’.

Almost half a century ago, European nations began exploring the idea of a single currency: the Euro—the single currency shared by nineteen European nations. However, in giving up their national currencies, Eurozone members lost important policy levers. This basic flaw creates acute difficulties as countries that share the currency diverge from each other. Moreover, it is on the nature of the single currency that once member economies begin to diverge from each other, the common interest rate will cause the divergence to in

Some non-cystic diseases share pathology of the same structures.

In contemporary liberal democracies, it is difficult to find a policy issue as divisive as immigration. A common worry is that immigration poses a threat to social cohesion, and so to the social unity that underpins cooperation, stable democratic institutions, and a robust welfare state. At the heart of this worry is the suggestion that social cohesion requires a shared identity at the societal level. The Politics of Social Cohesion considers in greater detail the impact of immigration on social cohesion and egalitarian redistribution. First, it critically scrutinizes an influential argument,

Abstract:

The prospect of international conflict over water has long been the subject of academic and popular concern, but subnational political conflict is considerably more common, and almost certainly imposes greater economic and environmental costs. Indeed, subnational hydropolitics are an important feature of several large countries, including the United States, India, and China. Moreover, disputes between water users in shared river basins have often persisted despite repeated attempts by central governments to resolve them through both persuasion and coercion. Yet despite the growing threat of wa

Abstract:

Humor, Empathy, and Community in Twentieth-Century American Poetry argues that American poets of the last hundred years use laughter to promote recognition of shared humanity across difference. Freud and Bergson argue that laughter patrols the boundary between in-group and out-group, but laughter can also help us cross or re-draw that boundary, creating a more democratic understanding of shared experience. Poets’ uses of humor reveal and reinforce deep-seated beliefs about the possibility of empathic mutual understanding among unlike interlocutors. These beliefs also shape poets’ senses of aud

Abstract:

This chapter investigates the contact and collaboration between C. K. Ogden and the Vienna Circle philosophers Otto Neurath and Rudolf Carnap, which was chiefly driven by Ogden and centred around his project Basic English. The aspects of philosophy of language and social engagement that united Ogden with Neurath and Carnap are first examined in detail. Attention then turns to Neurath’s picture statistics, which through collaboration with Ogden evolved into Isotype, a contribution to the international language movement aligned with Basic. Finally, the relationship between Ogden, Carnap and Neur

Abstract:

The aesthetic system of Japanese philosopher KUKI Shūzō exposes the value systems at the heart of our current environmental crisis. Kuki’s anthropology and aesthetics stand in sharp contrast to the Platonic metaphysics that forms the historical basis of Western value schemes. By focusing on becoming and nothingness rather than the permanence of the forms, Kuki develops a philosophy in which the love of nature is the fundamental ground of value. This forms the basis of an environmental aesthetic and ethic in which human flourishing is ultimately tied to the good of the environment.

Abstract:

Chapter 1, “A Nexus of Commentators on the Twelve: Theodore and Cyril’s Defense of Historia,” compares Theodore’s and Cyril’s Minor Prophets commentaries with those of Didymus (on Zechariah only) and Jerome. The direct comparison afforded by these extant commentaries reveals Theodore and Cyril’s shared interest in, and commitment to the historicity of, events depicted and predicted by the Twelve Prophets. A shared commitment to the unfolding divine economy leads Theodore and Cyril to write commentaries on the Minor Prophets in which both root the prophets firmly in Israel’s history and in turn

Abstract:

This chapter develops the idea of public reason based on the shared reasons account of public justification. It is argued that the moral foundation for political liberalism delimits a narrow scope for the idea of public reason, such that public reasons are required only for matters of constitutional essentials and basic justice. It is also argued that where public reason applies, persons as citizens have a moral duty to never appeal to their comprehensive doctrines when engaging in public reasoning. Hence, an exclusive account of public reason is vindicated. Finally, we respond to various pote
