This chapter is a biographical account of Locke’s first encounter with Descartes’s works. It looks at Locke’s manuscript commonplace books with the aim of determining in as much detail as is now possible what books by Descartes Locke read in the period before he started work on the drafts of the Essay, what he found of interest in them, and what conclusions might be drawn from this data about his philosophical development. It shows that there is evidence of a considerable and sustained interest in Descartes’s mechanical physics but hardly any visible interest in his metaphysics or epistemology—and considers the possible reasons for this state of affairs.

The volume reflects L.M. Singhvi’s prodigious scholarship. His signature writing style is brilliant, articulate, fluent, and honest. He believed in maintaining clarity in his writings to make it simple and intelligible to readers, despite the complexity of the issues that he addressed in his works. Dr L.M. Singhvi had a multifaceted personality—author, jurist, statesman, philosopher, and a social reformer. A product of many reputed universities like the University of Allahabad, University of Rajasthan, Harvard University, and Cornell University, he was most celebrated Indian public figure of the contemporary times. A disciple of eminent jurist Dr K.M. Munshi, he entered into Parliament at a young age of 30 years as an independent member in Lok Sabha from the Jodhpur constituency and made a great contribution in the parliamentary proceedings and discussions. The contents of the present volume are divided into two parts. Part 1 deals with the biographical account of Dr L.M. Singhvi which covers many phases of his life journey and contributions. Part 2 contains a number of unpublished papers of Dr Singhvi which are thematically organized in three different sections. Sections of this part deal with Dr Singhvi’s academic writings on issues pertaining to public governance and administration.

Selection Of

This first biographical account of M. Aldanov was authored by M. Uralsky, a writer of documentary prose. While not a strict academic publication, the book shows a thorough approach to selection of the material and verification of facts and introduces hitherto unknown documents, thus qualifying as a compelling piece of scholarly research. The book’s three parts are dedicated to key periods of Aldanov’s life: ‘A young Aldanov — happy years’ (1886–1917), ‘A historical novelist of Russian emigration’ (1919–1940), and ‘The twilight of life and work’ (1947–1957). Uralsky uncovered a number of new materials relating to Aldanov’s childhood and adolescence and his work in emigration, completing a reconstruction of the writer’s life. The biographer examines Aldanov’s personality as an artist, a literary critic, a journalist and a scholar. The book’s leitmotif is to actualise Aldanov’s idea of writers dedicating themselves to kalokagathia — the ‘moral beauty.’

This thesis will provide a biographical account of T. Ras Makonnen. It will focus specifically on his life as a Pan-African activist. In three parts, we will explore the development, implementation and shortcomings of Makonnen’s Pan-African vision. This will be achieved by analysing Makonnen’s formative years in Guyana, North America and Europe. We will then explore Makonnen’s successes in Manchester. And finally, we will assess Makonnen’s limitations in Ghana, where he sought to implement Pan-Africanism on a national and international scale.

The Life Course

This study examines how the work trajectories of women and men after childbirth and their subjective evaluation influence conjugal love. Data are drawn from the study, «Social Stratification, Cohesion and Conflict in Contemporary Families» (Widmer et al., 2003). The results show that an interruption of labour force participation increases the risk of feeling less in love for women, especially if the interruption is perceived as a sacrifice. Women's feelings of love also depend on the way in which their male partners consider their own work trajectories. Men's feelings of love are much less sensitive to their own and their partners' work trajectories. The results are discussed within the life course perspective.

Sir Walter Raleigh

My intention in this, and in my two preceding papers on the same subject, has not been, and is not, to give any thing like a new biographical account of Sir Walter Raleigh, but merely to touch upon some points, which, I think, have not been sufficiently illustrated; to correct and settle a few dates; and to add various matters that have either been unknown to, or have been passed over by those who have professed to write the life of this most deserving, but not less unfortunate, favourite of Elizabeth. I make this statement now, because, as I am informed, my purpose has been a little misunderstood; since it has been thought by some, that I was aiming at more than I pretend to accomplish. I merely furnish additional materials to those who may hereafter be disposed to treat the inquiry in detail and upon system. I recommence where I left off in my last; and beg of those who may think matters of the kind not so apposite to our ordinary inquiries, to remember that Sir Walter Raleigh was one of the founders of our Society, and on that account only, if he had no other claims, would merit the utmost interest we can take regarding him.

Biographical Account

Louis Albert Necker, who died at Portree, in Skye, on the 20th November 1861, aged 76, had been for many years a Foreign Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.His relation to the Royal Society, and to Scotland generally, was, however, far different from what belongs to most honorary members. As a youth, his studies had been pursued at the Edinburgh University. He had received almost his first introductions to society amongst the very best circles which the Scottish capital, in the days of perhaps its highest literary and scientific celebrity, could afford; he visited the Highlands, and even the remoter Hebrides, with an admiring enthusiasm which few native tourists have surpassed. In later life he returned with renewed interest to revisit the scenes where he spent his youth.
