Abstract:

In a tradition linked to Aristotle and Kant, it has become common for contemporary philosophers to treat practical and theoretical normativity as constituting two genuinely distinct domains. Despite this, it remains unclear what it is, or would be, for practical and theoretical normativity to in fact be distinct domains. This chapter considers the question of what it is for normative domains to be distinct and proposes that there are two different ways that the distinctness thesis might be understood. One is by reference to final oughts: roughly, a normative domain is distinct because it has i

This chapter examines the characters and themes of the shooting scripts rather than of the three films themselves. It considers whether or not the screenwriters had written for Hitchcock in ways that suited his own particular visual style. These scripts represent the fullest extent of the collaborative process that began when the writer first sat with the director in his office to discuss the possibilities for narrative and character development inherent in the source material; they also highlight the particular verbal talents of the writers, talents that Hitchcock himself did not possess; and

This book concludes by discussing the impact of technology on how we communicate with our closest friends and family, and especially how we relate to our strong ties. The change in norms is most evident in young people, including the graduate students studied in this book, who now rely on smartphones and the Internet as their primary modes of communication—with their close friends, spouses, and even roommates. As a result of these dynamics, it should have been easier than ever for the students to retain their connections to close confidants in the midst of dramatic life changes. However, this

Abstract:

This chapter argues that, given certain background assumptions, a kind of idealism follows from a version of the fine-tuning thesis. The kind of idealism in question ascribes explanatory priority, not ontological priority, to the mental. The version of the fine-tuning thesis in question is the strong fine-tuning for consciousness thesis, according to which (i) the values of the fundamental physical parameters are fine-tuned for consciousness and (ii) this fine-tuning for consciousness is not the inevitable by-product of fine-tuning for something more basic than consciousness, such as life.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the intermovement connections of the final two movements in Mahler's Fifth Symphony—the Adagietto and the Rondo-Finale. It shows how the questions of aesthetic meaning and biographical context raised by the Adagietto are complicated by the fact that the finale of the Fifth Symphony has generated its own share of controversy since the appearance in 1960 of Theodor Adorno's classic study Mahler: Eine musikalische Physiognomik. The chapter studies these paired final movements of the Fifth Symphony and explores the nature of their interrelationship. It then assesses Mahler's

This is the first book-length study of the relationship between science fiction, the techno-scientific policies of independent India, and the global non-aligned movement that emerged as a response to Cold War and decolonization.

Such relationships between literature, policy and geo-politics have a long and complex history. Glimpses of this history can be seen in the case of the first generation of post-colonial Indian science fiction writers and their critical entanglements with both

In combination, reinforcement of the long-term productivity growth lag by the setback of the prolonged crisis practically ensures that Eurozone economies will fall further behind the

Abstract:

This chapter sets a particular thesis focused on the institutional structure of the American political system within the context of a broader literature in the comparative political economy of crime and punishment. It then considers three possible objections to this analysis. The first argues that increasing American exceptionalism in the postwar period is to be explained primarily in terms of a distinctive history and politics of race. The next is the argument that this exceptionalism is to be attributed primarily to national policy driven by the federal government. The final argument is that

Direct evidence for Sabina’s activities as Augusta in and around Rome is disappointing.

Changing titulature and hairstyles on Sabina’s Rome coins help establish a relative chronology and an understanding of the intended messages.

Once such a framework exists people voluntarily defer to authorities, feeling it is appropriate to do so, if those authorities are recognized as being legitimate. To be legitimate an authority nee

It then considers the role of play in human agency and revisits Johan Huizinga's challenge to evaluate the role of play in the contemporary era.

Abstract:

The meaningfulness of life is not a mere additive function of locally meaningful moments. In making meaning, people undertake the active and creative task of constructing their past—of interpreting it, of using the ‘raw material’ of the succession of events, putting it in the form of a narrative. The narrative as a whole is capable of endowing the constituent events with meaning or depriving them of it. This notion of perspective in which one sees one’s life, past as well as future, is indispensable for the notion of the meaningfulness of life.

This is a negativity that prevents a truer, deeper portrayal of U.S. Puerto Rican cultural realities

The chapters of the first part of the book establish on this basis a non-positivistic concept of law. In the second part, the concept of constitutional rights is connected with proportional

Jack London is often pigeonholed as a literary naturalist, but his interests aligned with a science fiction tradition. Over the course of his career, London increasingly set his narratives in the ancient past and the distant future. These fictional temporal environments provided him with new vantage points with which to explore the political relationship between individualism and nationalism, an exploration that intensified in his later work. His little-known 1912 novella The Scarlet Plague, one of the earliest examples of postapocalyptic fiction, reimagined the western frontier in a new age.
