Paul, Herman. Virtues and Vices in the Nineteenth-Century Humanities. Amsterdam University Press, 2025. https://doi.org/10.5117/9789048562985.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
What do scholars do when they talk about virtues (impartiality, accuracy) or vices (dogmatism, prejudice)? Against the common view that such high-minded talk is largely irrelevant to actual scholarly practice, this volume proposes to treat it as a practice in its own right. Drawing on case studies from the nineteenth-century humanities (with occasional forays into physics, chemistry, and medicine), Paul shows that notions of virtue and vice were an evaluative discourse used across the academic spectrum. Paul argues that this evaluative idiom is best studied from a rhetorical point of view, with due attention to repertoires on which scholars drew, explicit or implicit appeals to authority, multi-layered meanings of virtue and vice terms, different uses to which these concepts were put, and societal contexts that lent plausibility to scholars’ invocations of virtue and vice. Based on more than a decade of research, this volume will be a key reference for scholars interested in virtues, vices, and the history of the humanities.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Are there really parapsychological phenomena? What forms do they take, how are they related to the well-known problem of mind and body, and to what extent is their scientific study possible? How do these questions relate to fundamental philosophical and natural-scientific principles and modern scientific data? What is the boundary between scientific and unscientific, and is it possible, without violating scientific principles, to "look" into the area where science is losing its power? 
 It will be useful to anyone who is interested in such issues; it assumes a preliminary acquaintance of the reader with physics and philosophy in the scope of university courses.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter argues that you shouldn’t engage open-mindedly with salient counterarguments in some standard situations—those standard situations in which you know that the counterarguments are misleading. This conclusion relies on a general principle: you should do the things that what you know is a decisive reason to do (a principle that has been used to argue for so-called “pragmatic encroachment” in epistemology). That a counterargument is misleading is a decisive reason, in standard situations, to be unwilling to reduce your confidence in response to the counterargument. Therefore, if you know that the counterargument is misleading—which you sometimes do—you should do exactly that. You should be unwilling to reduce your confidence in response to the counterargument and, therefore, you should be closed-minded toward it.

Fantl, Jeremy. Open-Mindedness. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198807957.003.0001.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter argues for a “Platonic” conception of open-mindedness. Open-mindedness is not simply a matter of being willing to change your mind in response to a counterargument. You have to be willing to change your mind conditional on spending significant time with the argument, finding each step compelling, and being unable to expose a flaw. If you are willing to do this, then you may be open-minded toward the argument provided you also don’t violate various procedural norms and aren’t disposed to allow various affective factors to influence your beliefs (for example, you aren’t willfully ignorant). On this conception, we can explain how it is possible to hold an outright or “full” belief even while being open-minded toward arguments against that belief.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This book provides the first reconstruction of intersubjective accounts of the mind in early modern philosophy. Some phenomena are easily recognized as social or interactive: certain dances, forms of work, and rituals require interaction to come into being or count as valid. But what about mental states, such as thoughts, volitions, or emotions? Do our minds also depend on other minds? The idea that our minds are intersubjective or social seems to be a fairly recent one, developed mainly in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries against the individualism of early modern philosophers. By contrast, this book argues that well-known early modern philosophers often even started from the idea that minds are intersubjective. How then does a mind depend on the minds of others?—Early modern philosophers are well known to have developed a number of theories designed to explain how we cognize external objects. What is hardly recognized is that early modern philosophers also addressed the problem of how our cognition is influenced by other minds. This book provides a historical and rational reconstruction of three central but different early modern accounts of the influence that minds exert on one another: Spinoza’s metaphysical model, Locke’s linguistic model, and Hume’s medical model. Showing for each model of mental interaction (1) why it was developed, (2) how it construes mind-mind relations, and (3) what view of the mind it suggests, this book aims at uncovering a crucial part of the unwritten history of intersubjectivity in the philosophy of mind.

Roelofs, Luke. Combining Minds. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190859053.001.0001.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This book explores a neglected philosophical question: How do groups of interacting minds relate to singular minds? Could several of us, by organizing ourselves the right way, constitute a single conscious mind that contains our minds as parts? And could each of us have been, all along, a group of mental parts in close cooperation? Scientific progress seems to be slowly revealing that all the different physical objects around us are, at root, just a matter of the right parts put together in the right ways: How far could the same be true of minds? This book argues that we are too used to seeing the mind as an indivisible unity and that understanding our place in nature requires being willing to see minds as composite systems, simultaneously one conscious whole and many conscious parts. In thinking through the implications of such a shift of perspective, the book relates the question of mental combination to a range of different theories of the mind (in particular panpsychism, functionalism, and Neo-Lockeanism about personal identity) and identifies, clarifies, and addresses a wide array of philosophical objections (concerning personal identity, the unity of consciousness, the privacy of experience, and other issues) that have been raised against the idea of composite minds. The result is an account of the metaphysics of composition and consciousness that can illuminate many different debates in philosophy of mind, concerning split brains, collective intentionality, and the combination problem, among others.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Chapter 4 explores the relationship between cognition and emotion using the metaphor of ‘mind-in-place’. It considers three basic ideas – that we do not have one mind, but many, which vary in dominance; that mood disorders can be thought of in terms of the persistence of particular minds-in-place; and that cognitive behaviour therapies for mood disorders work by helping clients shift out of the mind-in-place in which they are stuck. The chapter also discusses the psychological treatment of depression, and cognitive therapy.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter focuses on players other than Host States and mining companies in the mining industry. These include prospectors, geologists, mining engineers, metallurgical engineers, trading houses, smelters, assayers, and investment banks. Prospectors play an important role in generating showings (evidence of localized mineralization), which are later optioned, acquired, or explored by mining companies. Geologists specialize in exploring and identifying new mines. Mining engineers specialize in mine design while metallurgical engineers devise and design the processes and physical installations necessary to process raw ore into refined metals or minerals. Most mining companies do not market or sell their production, relying instead on trading houses to buy their output, or selling it to large industrial users under long-term supply and purchase agreements. Smelters process the ore mined into refined metals. Assayers perform the chemical and metallurgical tests on samples of ores or minerals to determine the amount of valuable metals contained. Investment banks arrange the financing for mining projects. These different actors and activities entail specific risks and varying potential for international disputes.

Kaiser, David, ed. "Well, Doc, You're In". The MIT Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/13952.001.0001.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The life and work of Freeman Dyson—renowned scientist, visionary, and iconoclast—and his particular way of thinking about deep questions. Freeman Dyson (1923–2020)—renowned scientist, visionary, and iconoclast—helped invent modern physics. Not bound by disciplinary divisions, he went on to explore foundational topics in mathematics, astrophysics, and the origin of life. General readers were introduced to Dyson's roving mind and heterodox approach in his 1979 book Disturbing the Universe, a poignant autobiographical reflection on life and science. “Well, Doc, You're In” (the title quotes Richard Feynman's remark to Dyson at a physics conference) offers a fresh examination of Dyson's life and work, exploring his particular way of thinking about deep questions that range from the nature of matter to the ultimate fate of the universe. The chapters—written by leading scientists, historians, and science journalists, including some of Dyson's colleagues—trace Dyson's formative years, his budding interests and curiosities, and his wide-ranging work across the natural sciences, technology, and public policy. They describe Dyson's innovations at the intersection of quantum theory and relativity, his novel nuclear reactor design (and his never-realized idea of a spacecraft powered by nuclear weapons), his years at the Institute for Advanced Study, and his foray into cosmology. In the coda, Dyson's daughter Esther reflects on growing up in the Dyson household. “Well, Doc, You're In” assesses Dyson's successes, blind spots, and influence, assembling a portrait of a scientist's outsized legacy.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
We inhabit a world not only full of natural dispositions independent of human design, but also artificial dispositions created by our technological prowess. How do these dispositions, found in automation, computation, and artificial intelligence applications, differ metaphysically from their natural counterparts? This collection investigates artificial dispositions: what they are, the roles they play in artificial systems, and how they impact our understanding of the nature of reality, the structure of minds, and the ethics of emerging technologies. It is divided into four parts covering the following interconnected themes: (i) Artificial and Natural Dispositions, (ii) Artificial Systems and Their Dispositions, (iii) Agency, Mind, and Artificial Dispositions, and (iv) Artificial Moral Dispositions. This is a groundbreaking and thought-provoking resource for any student or scholar of philosophy of science, contemporary metaphysics, applied ethics, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of technology.

Jacobs, Don. Analyzing Criminal Minds. ABC-CLIO, LLC, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798400612626.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
An insightful book presenting cutting-edge information on the newest, most remarkable forensic science and methods used for understanding the criminal mind. Analyzing Criminal Minds: Forensic Investigative Science for the 21st Century explores new and emerging approaches to a perennially fascinating subject. Author Don Jacobs looks at 10 tools and products that have revolutionized the discipline, explaining how modern criminal mind analysis incorporates advances in criminal and forensic psychology, forensic neuropsychology, brain imaging, adolescent neurobiology, criminal profiling, and brain fingerprinting, as well as research into the paralimbic brain system and the impact of the “DANE” brain upon adolescent and young adult behavior. Twenty-three characteristics shared by jailed violent criminals are analyzed and considered in terms of neuropsychology and developmental psychology. The book also probes psychopathy in its various degrees, in children, adolescents, and adults, and explains a controversial but increasingly accepted theory that psychopathy is a “natural” outgrowth of evolution, describing how this “natural” psychopathy can become a condition typified by violent, sadistic, and irreversible personality disorder.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRDs) have received considerable attention over the past two decades, culminating with the inclusion of a new classification category of “Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders” in the DSM-5. This group of conditions includes obsessive-compulsive disorder along with two newly minted conditions (hoarding disorder and excoriation disorder) and others previously classified as somatoform disorders (body dysmorphic disorder) and impulse control disorders (hair-pulling disorder). In addition, other conditions that are not discussed in the DSM-5 have received attention, such as misophonia and orthorexia nervosa. The implications for research on these conditions, as well as their relations with one another, are significant since their aggregation is based on putative central mechanisms with limited empirical support to date. Indeed, the past decades have seen a dramatic surge in research on OCRDs across several domains, including clinical phenomenology, assessment, and psychological therapies. With these issues in mind, this comprehensive text addresses recent advances in the field of OCRDs, highlighting psychosocial theoretical and intervention approaches. As researchers and clinicians will be increasingly focused on this topic in light of the changes to DSM-5, this book is a timely addition to the literature in guiding clinicians in advances in OCRDs that will impact their practice.

Im vergangenen Jahr feierten die erste württembergische Verfassung, die Weimarer Reichsverfassung und das Grundgesetz jeweils runde „Geburtstage“. An allen hatten liberale Politiker mehr oder minder großen Anteil. Deshalb untersucht der auf ein Kolloquium zurückgehende Themenschwerpunkt des Jahrbuchs in acht Beiträgen die Verfassungsarbeit der deutschen Liberalen nicht nur im Hinblick auf diese drei Verfassungen, sondern generell vom Vormärz bis zur Gegenwart. Weitere Einzelbeiträge sind der Frauenrechtlerin Minna Cauer, der liberalen Presse während der Novemberrevolution, dem Soziologen Alfred Weber und dem Rechtswissenschaftler und Politiker Werner Maihofer gewidmet. Abgeschlossen wird der 32. Band durch einen Aufsatz über den badischen Liberalismus vor 1918.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
We look into the relationship between business practices and enterprise productivity using panel data with matched employer and employee information from Myanmar. The data show that micro, small, and medium-size enterprises in Myanmar typically do only a few modern business practices. Even so, through estimates of value-added functions and labour demand relations we find a positive and economically important association between business practices and productivity. The results are confirmed when we utilize employer–employee information to estimate Mincer-type wage regressions. In combination, the value-added functions and the Mincer regressions show that at least half of the productivity gain from improved business practices stems from selection effects of employment of more productive workers. This sorting channel is important to keep in mind when supporting enterprises in Myanmar’s manufacturing sector through entrepreneurial training activities. While our results indicate that implementation of more structured business practices could be a key ingredient of a private sector development strategy in Myanmar, the full effect of such a strategy may take time to materialize. Moreover, entrepreneurial training should be accompanied by labour market initiatives aimed at improving productive matches of employers and employees.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
We in Erewhon will have the means, the motive and the confidence to avow many of our beliefs. A means of avowing the belief that p is to assert that p, since this forecloses the misleading-mind excuse. A motive for doing so is that the communication thereby becomes more expensive and more credible; I deny myself a way of getting off the hook in the event of a miscommunication: viz., by claiming I must have misread my own mind. And the confidence required is supplied by the fact that I can consciously make up my mind on various issues by consulting the data and seeing where they lead me; I do not have to resort to introspective self-scanning. By parallel arguments we in Erewhon will be led to avow not only beliefs but also desires and intentions, relying on desiderata to play a role analogous to that of data in the case of beliefs. And we will be led by the same token to pledge various intentions—and intentions only—foreclosing the possibility of changing our mind as well as the possibility of having been misled about our minds. Avowals and pledges of these kinds are commitments in the non-moral, game-theory sense: they represent wagers in which we stake our reputations on living up to our words.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Abstract Psychiatry has a long and controversial history, and its legacy is often questioned in the arts. But how is psychiatry used by filmmakers, what do they think of mental illness, and how do they use it? What is their frame of mind? Psychoanalytically? Biologically? Sociologically or anthropologically? Cinema has not only produced a full spectrum of elements of mental illness but also showed its treatment (or lack thereof). Frames of Minds traces the historical display of interpreted neuropsychiatry and explains why it is a story about medicine and why it should interest us. Patterns and paradigm shifts in neuropsychiatry over the last century have emerged over the decades, and mental disorders on screen became more specific. The influence of the anti-psychiatry movement in documentary filmmaking was evident. The takeaway is that filmmakers like to break the rules and take chances with the awkwardness of mental illness and psychotic breakdown.

Isurin, Ludmila. Reenacting the Enemy. Oxford University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197605462.001.0001.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This book discusses how group memories about recent political events are constructed by the media of the group and how the information provided by the media is consumed by individual minds to form memories of those events. Based on the accumulated research in three distinct areas—collective memory, media, and the mind—the book offers an interdisciplinary sociocognitive framework within which a case study of Russian and American memory construction is investigated. The analysis of seven political events involving Russia that took place in the second decade of the 21st century and were discussed in Russian and American media outlets showed how ideological bias, distortion, and schemata worked to push against the other in an attempt to establish a narrative that reenacted an old and now reemerged enemy. By initially invoking not entirely forgotten stereotypes from the decades of the Cold War and later reinforcing those with new stories that perfectly fit old narrative frames, the two countries—via their respective media—became engaged in an information war that ultimately aimed at reaching the minds of people in those two countries. Those minds, however, while consciously questioning the trustworthiness of news coverage by their respective media, have formed memories along the ideological lines provided by the very media that they claim they do not trust. The book brings together two different methodologies and resources: content analysis of media texts and empirical data from human participants.

Chapter 10 draws together the main strands of argument from previous chapters and offers some concluding remarks on the virtuousness and education of emotion, on Aristotelian naturalism, and on the complexities of transdisciplinary work on emotions. It also provides a table which summarizes the main components of each specific virtue, identified in preceding chapters, as seen from an Aristotelian perspective. The chapter closes by offering the following advice to practically minded emotion theorists: Do read Aristotle first. It helps. But, equally, do not hesitate to depart from him where needed—and do not skip reading the contemporary psychological literature. It helps also.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Evil in Mind: The Psychology of Harming Others offers readers an accessible, social-scientific understanding of the concept of evil and its various incarnations. Rather than simply using “evil” as an undefined synonym for human nastiness, Part 1 of the book first establishes when and why people apply the “evil” label to perpetrators and their misdeeds. It also addresses why most people do not want to see themselves—or be seen by others—as evil: Being labeled “evil” is the ultimate signifier of social rejection. Indeed, although dogged pursuit of good feelings and the effortful avoidance of bad feelings often causes suffering for others, people make use of an astounding array of cognitive reframing and self-presentation strategies to dodge the “evil” label. Part 2 illustrates how these core principles can aid comprehension of phenomena such as hate, sadism, serial killers, and group-based evil such as genocide, corporate wrongdoing, and familial abuse. Throughout, Evil in Mind attempts to nudge the reader toward a mindset that is self-reflective rather than ghoulish or self-congratulatory: Whether one’s actions result in harm that is horrifically irreparable or comparatively minor, the motives driving such actions and the menu of goals and strategies for deflecting condemnation are not really all that different. Thus, Evil in Mind presents the reader with a systematic, research-based psychological analysis of the phenomenon of evil that is compact, digestible, and potentially transformative.

Our experience is that many people including many members of the medical profession are confused about what happens to our brains and minds as we live longer. Consistently, they overestimate the effects of ageing and underestimate the potential for improving the ability of the brain and the mind no matter what age you may be. Linked to this is the fact that, although Alzheimer’s disease cannot be prevented, the risk of dementia can be reduced by at least a third because there are many other causes of dementia than Alzheimer’s disease having to do with healthy brain tissue, blood supply to the brain and ability to interact with people and ideas. With this knowledge, we outline steps individuals can take themselves, with family and friends, their community and the health service to improve brain health.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter examines the complex relationship between Anglicanism and Methodism. Revising the view that Methodism was an ever-separating movement, this chapter contends that the eighteenth-century Church of England was a varied body, with myriad challenges which it confronted through the maintenance of a pastoral ideal, lived out ‘on the ground’ by the parish clergy. The industrializing parish of Madeley, Shropshire (where the incumbent from 1760 to 1785 was the Revd John William Fletcher), is used as a case study. Together with Madeley, other examples of dutiful and evangelically minded clergy who utilized the experimental religion and religious irregularities often associated with Methodists or Dissenters, are surveyed. The chapter concludes that Fletcher and many evangelically minded Anglican-Methodist clergy found the Church of England sufficiently strong and flexible enough to do the work of the Church rigorously and creatively, and that Methodism could serve as a means of Anglican pastoral success.

Aus dem Vortrag von Magna: Die veränderte Rolle des Powertrains aus Sicht von Magna Zusammenfassung Neben der schieren Vielfalt von Varianten elektrifizierter Antriebe sind Antriebsentwickler mit Rahmenbedingungen konfrontiert, die sich jederzeit ändern können. Beispielsweise ist schwer abzusehen, inwieweit und wann die heutige Tank-to-Wheel-Bilanzierung in der EU von CO2 zukünftig durch Well-to-Tank, Produktion oder Recycling ergänzt wird. Dazu kommen nicht minder herausfordernde technische Trends. Getrieben durch die Digitalisierung unterliegt die Antriebsentwicklung immer kürzeren Entwicklungszyklen. Die Funktionalität verlagert sich in Richtung übergeordneter Software. Dies und die zunehmende Elektrifizierung bewirken, dass die Antriebshardware zunehmend der Systemfunktionalität folgen muss.

Wegner, Daniel M., Daniel Gilbert, and Thalia Wheatley. The Illusion of Conscious Will. The MIT Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/9780262534925.001.0001.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Do we consciously cause our actions, or do they happen to us? Philosophers, psychologists, neuroscientists, theologians, and lawyers have long debated the existence of free will versus determinism. The first edition of this book proposed an innovative and provocative answer: the feeling of conscious will is created by the mind and brain; it helps us to appreciate and remember our authorship of the things our minds and bodies do. Yes, we feel that we consciously will our actions, the book says, but at the same time, our actions happen to us. Although conscious will is an illusion (“the most compelling illusion”), it serves as a guide to understanding ourselves and to developing a sense of responsibility and morality. This new edition includes a foreword and an introduction. Approaching conscious will as a topic of psychological study, the book examines cases both when people feel that they are willing an act that they are not doing and when they are not willing an act that they in fact are doing in such phenomena as hypnosis, Ouija board spelling, and dissociative identity disorder. The author's argument was immediately controversial (called “unwarranted impertinence” by one scholar) but also compelling, and the book has been called the author's magnum opus.

Many of us, even on our happiest days, struggle to quiet the constant buzz of anxiety in the background of our minds. All kinds of worries—worries about losing people and things, worries about how we seem to others—keep us from peace of mind. Distracted or misled by our preoccupations, misconceptions, and, most of all, our obsession with ourselves, we do not see the world clearly—we do not see the world as it really is. In our search for happiness and the good life, this is the main problem. But luckily there is a solution, and on the path to understanding it, we can make use of the rich and varied teachings that have developed over centuries of Buddhist thought. This book explores the central elements of centuries of Buddhist philosophy and practice, explaining how they can improve life and teach us how to live without fear. Mining important texts and lessons for practical guidance, it provides a guide to the very practical goals that underpin Buddhist philosophy. After laying out the basic ideas, the text walks readers through a wide range of techniques and practices we can adopt to mend ingrained habits.

Skoloda, Kelley M. Too Busy to Shop. Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc., 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798216026433.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Research indicates that most women do it at least ten times every five minutes. What is it? Multi-minding—mentally juggling a complex mix of family, career, and self-care decisions at any given moment, with little time for commercial messages to seep into the mix. How do marketers reach women, who still make 85% of all consumer purchasing decisions? This book, based on research, interviews, and Kelley Skoloda’s twenty years of leading-edge work in brand marketing with major clients, explains how to connect with multi-minding women, gain their trust, and tap into their purchasing power. Multi-minding is a cultural phenomenon that is here to stay. A multi-minding woman, even if she appears to be relaxing in front of a late-night television show, reading a magazine in the pediatrician’s office, or tackling a complicated analytic study at work, is at the same time thinking about and preparing for the other dimensions of her life. She’s weighing the benefits of changing her 401k plan, plotting out her organic vegetable garden, ticking off birthday-party logistics, and longing for a neck massage. That’s why one study shows women feel they are packing 38 hours of activity into a 24-hour period. But studies also show that most women feel marketers are ignoring their needs. That’s a big mistake considering women spend $3.3 trillion annually on consumer products. Too Busy to Shop explains what marketers need to know about multi-minding—a word coined by Skoloda and Ketchum—and its implications for companies seeking to speak to women buyers. Besides theory and insight, readers get how-tos and action items designed to ensure women view their brands favorably and hear the marketing message. The book also contains insiders’ views of some of the most successful marketing-to-women campaigns of recent times. In short, Too Busy to Shop helps marketers understand multi-minding in depth—an essential task if they want to reach today’s overloaded female consumer.

McDermid, Douglas. Reid and the Problem of the External World. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198789826.003.0004.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The main purpose of this chapter is to understand how Thomas Reid (1710–96) understood what we now call ‘the problem of the external world’: the problem of whether we can have any knowledge of a material world if we have non-inferential knowledge of nothing but the subjective contents of our own minds. According to Reid, this sceptical problem is ill-posed: we do not need to prove the existence of the external world of matter any more than we need to prove the existence of the internal world of mind, since our belief in both is the direct effect of principles which we have by our very constitution. Hence Reid’s brand of common sense realism is best seen not as a solution to the problem of the external world, but as a denial of the Cartesian and representationalist assumptions which made that problem seem possible and urgent in the first place.

This chapter concerns the relationship between the split-brain case and the non-split case. In the first half of the chapter, I consider arguments to the effect that if split-brain subjects have two minds apiece, then so do non-split subjects. Sometimes these arguments have taken the form of a reductio against the 2-thinkers claim for split-brain subjects. These arguments do not work: that a split-brain subject has two minds does not mean that I have two minds, although it does mean that I could. The second half of the chapter offers my own proposal for the respect in which R’s and L’s co-embodiment as one animal, S, makes a split-brain subject one of us: I argue that S must be the single object of both R’s and L’s implicit bodily self-awareness.

What if the true weak link of the Information Age force is not the hardware of machines, but the software of the human mind? And if so, could it be that the entire conceptual structure of the Information Revolution theorists, at least as it applies to military affairs, is built on sand, on the notorious fickleness of human cognition? These are the questions this book strives to examine. Looking at the command and control of information-rich warfare, the contributors explore its potential new processes, techniques, and organizational structures. As they do so, they find reasons for both optimism and concerns about the limitations of human cognition and supporting technologies in commanding battles in the Information Age. Since the beginning of the Information Revolution, the military in the United States and elsewhere has been analyzing and implementing the changes driven by the rapidly advancing information technologies. Among military theorists and practitioners, many focus on the Information Revolution's impact on matters of military equipment. Far fewer, however, seem to worry about the gray matter—the mind of the commander, the place where all the information power of the new age is supposed to converge and to yield its mighty dividends. Consider that it is the human mind, particularly the minds of military commanders and their staffs that remain the pinnacle and the ultimate consumer of the rapidly growing information flows. What if the true weak link of the Information Age force is not the hardware of machines, but the software of the human mind? And if so, could it be that the entire conceptual structure of the Information Revolution theorists, at least as it applies to military affairs, is built on sand, on the notorious fickleness of human cognition?

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This book seeks to understand why, despite almost two decades of strong law enforcement and security force pressure since the October 2002 Bali terror attacks, terrorist networks in Southeast Asia motivated by violent extremist interpretations of Islam remain resilient and dangerous. Arguing that focusing on the physical threat posed by terrorism has failed to address the totality of the problem, the book—through detailed case studies of four Southeast Asian extremists—encourages a shift away from the threat groups themselves, to a focus on the wider ideological ecosystems of closely interlocking persons, places, and platforms that sustain such groups and their acolytes. Challenging controversial notions that Islam per se is a “religion of violence,” the book argues that the theological-ideological amalgam of what has been called “Salafabism” is the more useful lens for recognizing closed-minded extremist currents in Islam. It argues that supposedly nonviolent, soft Salafabist Islamists do not actually counter, but complement and potentially sustain, violent hard Salafabist, Salafi Jihadis—because both constituencies share a common extremist ideological DNA. That said, the book carefully distinguishes between relatively open-minded Salafabist radicals—whom governments and civil societies can co-opt and embrace—and the system-subverting, closed-minded Salafabist extremists of the aforementioned soft and hard varieties, who should rightly attract policy concern. The book concludes by outlining a comprehensive strategy for promoting theologically sound yet culturally authentic alternative narratives to Salafabist extremism—thereby defending the complex, richly textured tapestry of the moderate Islam Nusantara of Southeast Asia.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The chapter describes both the evolution of thinking—from a single-minded focus on markets to a broader inclusion of institutions—and how even that broader perspective is excessively narrow and, too often, insufficiently nuanced. Markets do not operate in a vacuum; they need strong institutions including the state, interacting among themselves to create the right checks and balances. Market economies, left untampered, lead to forces that threaten their own survival. Too often they lead to greater inequality and injustice; erosion of trust; and weakening of the state. The institutional checks and balances that are so vital for the functioning of institutions and markets do not work when there is excessive inequality.

The new men exercised considerable patronage within the church: in appointments to parish churches and dealings with universities and religious houses. While some of their actions matched the high ideals of Dudley’s Tree of Commonwealth, promoting educated clergymen or at least those committed to pastoral care, others were less high-minded as they used the church to reward their servants and relatives. Some were generous supporters of university study, especially in theology, but in general their relations with monasteries had more to do with local power than piety.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Do newborns think? Do they know that 3 is greater than 2? Do they prefer right to wrong? What about emotions? Do newborns recognize happiness or anger? If they do, then how are our inborn thoughts and feelings encoded in our bodies? Could they persist after we die? Going all the way back to ancient Greece, human nature and the mind–body link are the topics of age-old scholarly debates. But laypeople also have strong opinions about such matters. Most people believe, for example, that newborn babies don’t know the difference between right and wrong—such knowledge, they insist, can only be learned. For emotions, they presume the opposite—that our capacity to feel fear, for example, is both inborn and embodied. These beliefs are stories we tell ourselves about what we know and who we are. They reflect and influence our understanding of ourselves and others, and they guide every aspect of our lives. In a twist that could have come out of a Greek tragedy, Berent proposes that our errors are our fate. These mistakes emanate from the very principles that make our minds tick: Our blindness to human nature is rooted in human nature itself. An intellectual journey that draws on philosophy, anthropology, linguistics, cognitive science, and Berent’s own cutting-edge research, The Blind Storyteller grapples with a host of provocative questions, from why we are so infatuated with our brains to what happens when we die. The end result is a startling new perspective on our humanity.
