Abstract:

The moral significance of negligence is regularly downplayed in the legal and philosophical literature. Two common tenets about negligence diminish its perceived importance: first, culpable negligence is substantially less significant than malice (as well as other intentionally inflicted wrongs); second, considered apart from its consequences, culpable negligence is a rather petty moral wrong. This paper argues, by contrast, that culpable negligence can be a serious moral and political wrong and non-negligence is a significant moral virtue. The paper sketches an account of moral and political

Abstract:

This book assesses the unintended consequences of the proliferation of the laws of war. In 1856 there was one codified law of war. In 2018, there are over 70 such laws, and they place increasing constraints on belligerents. This increase has generated significant consequences for the commencement, conduct, and conclusion of both interstate and civil wars. States fighting interstate wars today prefer not to step over any bright lines where the laws of war would apply unequivocally. Thus, these states have stopped declaring war and concluding peace treaties. Rebel groups – particularly, secessio

Abstract:

Philosophers of science have long believed that understanding, contrary to explanation, is a philosophically irrelevant notion. On Carl Hempel’s influential view, understanding is psychological and pragmatic, and can therefore be ignored by philosophers. This chapter argues, by contrast, that understanding is not merely a psychological byproduct of explanations but a central aim of science, and that it is accordingly epistemically significant. On the basis of an analysis of the processes of constructing and evaluating scientific explanations, it argues that the production of scientific knowled

Abstract:

Urethral diverticula (UD) are not uncommon, affecting up to 6% of the female population, but are in the majority of cases asymptomatic and of no clinical significance. They are thought to arise as a consequence of infection, obstruction, and subsequent rupture of a periurethral gland. UD often pose a significant diagnostic challenge, as symptoms are largely non-specific and easily confused with other conditions such as bladder pain syndrome and recurrent urinary tract infection. As such, both misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis are common, to the frustration of both patients and surgeons. Tradi

This chapter argues in support of moralized conceptions of liberty on the grounds that distinguishing between liberty and license allows us to develop a theoretically fruitful notion of freedom that is intrinsically normatively significant and that can play a substantive role in political philosophy.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses and evaluates the role of truthmaking in articulating an unproblematic concept of emergence—specifically, the proposal that emergent properties should be characterized as those that, while “ontologically dependent”, are yet needed as truthmakers. It argues that while emergence so understood appears to avoid several well-known concerns about emergence and emergent properties, including those that stem from the alleged “brute determination” of emergent properties, this result is secured through the weak notion of dependence that it employs.

Although overt thyroid disease as a primary admission diagnosis to an intensive care unit is uncommon, failure to recognize and adequately manage this condition can have fatal consequences. Hyperthyroidism is usually manifested by signs and symptoms of an exaggerated sympathomimetic response. In its most severe forms, a thyroid storm will necessitate a multimodal treatment. Although robust evidence is lacking, radiographic contrast dyes containing iodine are becoming popular as a first-line treatment.

This chapter explores thematic affinities between Grattius and Ovid’s Ars Amatoria, focusing on the connection between lover and hunter, the importance of mental skill as a complement to pure physical exertion, and the art of hunting as a civilizing force. It is argued, moreover, that the interplay between brawn and brains, articulated in Grattius as a contrast between arma and ars, allows him to engage with the ‘Callimachean’ aesthetic literary debate as played out in Augustan poetry and in Ovid in particular: Grattius’ opening sections on thinly wrought nets and deceptive snares can be seen

As the United States grapples with increasing economic inequality and significant poverty, homelessness represents a thorny political and policy issue. This article explores the debates that contrast two primary responses to homelessness, Housing First and the linear, or treatment first, model. Both are employed to address homelessness, though Housing First has been directed almost exclusively to chronic homeless people who are on the streets for long periods of time and contend with mental illness and substance abuse problems.

A common complication of percutaneous drainage or tube placement is non-target catheterization, particularly of adjacent bowel loops. Bowel transgression by drainage catheters may later become evident by signs and symptoms of peritonitis, copious catheter output, sepsis, or fistula formation. However, small needle transgression alone, without tube transgression, is far less significant. This described method of pullback tract-o-gram can prevent placement of a tube once small needle transgression has occurred, and it can permit re-attempt and repeat safety check.

Yet there are surprisingly deep challenges that arise for this natural idea. First, there are challenges about how these requirements relate to “substantive” rational requirements that require us to have attitudes that are supported by good reasons.

Some philosophical theories, notably hedonism, take mental states to constitute the entirety of well-being, an approach that has significant attractions but also faces weighty objections. But even those who reject mental state theories of well-being should recognize that the psychological dimensions of well-being are centrally important in human life—though not always in the ways one might expect, particularly in the case of life satisfaction.

Abstract:

Not to be confused with modesty or low self-esteem, humility is a multifaceted construct that is quite different from the misguided caricature that humble people are weak or timid and do not value themselves. In contrast, humility is a hypo-egoic phenomenon that involves a nondefensive willingness to see oneself accurately by acknowledging one’s personal limitations, combined with an appreciation for the strengths and contributions of other people from which one can learn. Research is reviewed that investigates humility both as a general dispositional characteristic, as well as in terms of the

Abstract:

This chapter shows how the political crisis of the 1780s forced American Episcopalians in different directions, leading to a distinctive brand of Anglicanism. Anglicanism in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, especially through the work of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, saw itself as a unique creature in the social order coming from God and closely tied to its fealty to the crown. As tensions increased, northern and southern Anglicans chose diverging views, which were further flamed by the Revolution. As the war ended, many, led by William White, believed that national ch

Abstract:

All too often Albania has been considered a relatively minor player in late-19th and early-20th century history. By contrast, this book highlights the significance of this nation and the Albanian question at this time through a detailed analysis of the relationship between Albania, Britain and the Ottoman Empire from 1876 to 1914. Making use of a wide range of archival source materials – some of which are published here in English for the first time – this book explores British foreign policy towards the development of the Albanian national movement and parallel demise of the Ottoman Empire.

Abstract:

Chapter 44 concerns the following issue: suppose A and B propose to make a contract for the purchase and sale of a commodity. A knows a material fact, F, concerning the commodity, and also knows or has reason to know that B does not know F. Is it permissible for A not to disclose fact F to B, or is disclosure required? The principle that should govern this type of case (the Disclosure Principle) is as follows: In a contractual context, disclosure of material facts that one party knows and knows or has reason to know the other party does not know should be required except in those classes of ca
