AbstractLucy Allais argues that we can better understand Kant's transcendental idealism by taking seriously the analogy of appearances to secondary qualities that Kant offers in the Prolegomena. A proper appreciation of this analogy, Allais claims, yields a reading of transcendental idealism according to which all properties that can appear to us in experience are mind-dependent relational properties that inhere in mind-independent objects. In section 1 of my paper, I articulate Allais's position and its benefits, not least of which is its elegant explanation of how the features of objects that appear to us are transcendentally ideal while still being ‘empirically’ real. In section 2, I contend that there are elements of Allais's account that are problematic, yet also inessential, to what I view to be the core contribution of her analysis. These elements are the views that the properties that appear to human beings are not really distinct from properties that things have ‘in themselves’ and that Kant embraced a relational account of perception. In section 3, I return to the core of Allais's reading and argue that, despite its multiple virtues, it cannot make sense of key features of Kant's idealism.

To displace a character in time is to depict a character who becomes acutely conscious of his or her status as other, as she or he strives to comprehend and interact with a culture whose mentality is both familiar and different in obvious and subtle ways. Two main types of time travel pose a philosophical distinction between visiting the past with knowledge of the future and trying to inhabit the future with past cultural knowledge, but in either case the unpredictable impact a time traveller may have on another society is always a prominent theme. At the core of Japanese time travel narratives is a contrast between self-interested and eudaimonic life styles as these are reflected by the time traveller's activities. Eudaimonia is a ‘flourishing life’, a life focused on what is valuable for human beings and the grounding of that value in altruistic concern for others. In a study of multimodal narratives belonging to two sets – adaptations of Tsutsui Yasutaka's young adult novella The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Yamazaki Mari's manga series Thermae Romae – this article examines how time travel narratives in anime and live action film affirm that eudaimonic living is always a core value to be nurtured.

This paper suggests that Disengagement Theory can be used as a theory of the middle-range, but not as a general theory about normal aging. This proposition is supported by an examination of key concepts, postulates and methods used to formulate the theory. By use of phenemological notions, we can see the concept of disengagement forces us to pay attention to the subjective meanings of aging people. It is necessary to disengage from the core statements of the theory and engage in a search for new methods to study the lived experiences of human beings in order to further our understandings of the processes of growing old.

The Relationship

Respect is fundamental aspect of how human beings relate to each other and, arguably, is a significant factor in the relationship between student and teacher. For incarcerated adults, the relationships they foster with their teachers (and by extension the respect or disrespect cultivated within it) often has a considerable impact on their educative development. This research explores how respect, and disrespect, is perceived to be communicated within prison education by 13 prisoners and 13 teachers in an Irish Young Offenders institution. The values at the core of prison educators’ practice and their capacity to promote self-respect within their students emerged as central to this cultivation of respect. The place of socialisation within these educative relationships also emerged as a prominent factor and is discussed in relation to MacMurray’s (2012) assertion that the primary function of education is ‘learning to be human’

Apache Solr, an open source Java-based search engine, forms the core of many Library 2.0 products. The use of an index in place of a relational database allows faster data retrieval along with key features like faceting and similarity analysis that are not practical in the previous generation of library software. The popular VuFind discovery tool was built to provide a library-friendly front-end for Solr’s powerful searching capabilities, and its development provides an informative case study on the use of Solr in a library setting. VuFind is just one of many library packages using Solr, and examples like Blacklight, Summon, and the eXtensible Catalog project show other possible approaches to its use.

Definition Of

This chapter teases out the core elements of the ordinary conception of “race.” This does not include a scientific or philosophical definition of race. Rather, the chapter talks about the view of race that most people just slip into when going about the everyday business of life. It is a conception that has been taken so thoroughly for granted that many do not even question it. The chapter argues that understanding the conception of race is key to understanding dehumanization, because beliefs about race lie at the heart of the dehumanizing process. It shows that dividing human beings into races—into “our kind” and “their kind”—is the first step on the road to dehumanizing them.

Border Crossers

Civil society actors aiding border crossers in Europe have been subject to systematic criminalization through prosecutions and attempted prosecutions, extensive police harassment, public scapegoating, and the imposition of bureaucratic barriers. We seek to explain why this is occurring through the analysis of field research data, collected in Greece between 2017 and 2019, through the lens of Derrida’s concept of “hostile hospitality”. We develop a theoretical framework with three key features: first, the demarcation between insider and outsider which lies at the core of notions of hospitality; second, the constitutive relationship between hostility and hospitality which is closely related to notions of sovereignty; and third, the primacy of state definitions of hospitality, which subordinate private and collective hospitality practices. This explanatory framework guides the analysis of two case studies from our fieldwork: the criminalization of solidarity initiatives providing accommodation in squats in Athens and Pikpa camp on Lesvos, and the criminalization of boat-spotting and search and rescue activities on Lesvos. We conclude that civil society actors aiding border crossers in Greece are criminalized because they challenge and interfere with state policies and practices of hostile hospitality.

Scientific normativity of law conceived as a character inherent in legal science as a sui generis. Jurisprudence basically study the law, something that initially emerged from the dogmatic belief in philosophy. Dogmaticism refuse to alter beliefs one iota. The teachings of dogmatic philosophy stems from the teachings of Plato (428-347 BC) and is reflected in the legal enforceability. Dogmaticism in the law is reflected in the Corpus Juris Civilis. Along with the development of post Era Scholastic philosophical thinking, the philosophy synthesizes thought between dogmatic thinking and skeptic has appeared in the Age of Enlightment.This idea is reflected in Transcendental Idealist philosophy thought of Immanuel Kant (1724 to 1804). The core idea is that real human beings are given the ability tounderstand based on empirical experience and actually also able to gain an understanding of the human being that is the essence of symptoms. Transcendental Idealist, thus dynamic, moving to look for values   that are useful for life. Transcendental Idealist thought then be adopted Kelsen (18811973) in the teaching of normativity in legal positivism (legal positivism). Normativity in the teachings of Hans Kelsen’s legal positivismderived from the integration of empirical positivism and idealistic positivism.Keywords : Normativity, Neo-kantian, Hans Kelsen, Transsendental IdealisNormativitas keilmuan hukum dikonsepsikan sebagai karakter yang melekat pada keilmuan hukum sebagai cabang ilmu yang bersifat sui generis.Disebut demikian karena ilmu hukum pada dasarnya mempelajari hukum, sesuatu yang pada awalnya dimunculkan dari pemikiran filsafat yang beraliran dogmatik. Pemikiran filsafat dogmatik menolak alternatif keyakinan (belief) lain dalam berpikir. Pemikiran filsafat dogmatik bermula dari ajaran Plato (428-347 SM) dan tercermin dalam keberlakuanhukum. Dogmatika dalam hukum sangat tercermin dalam Corpus Juris Civilis. Seiring dengan perkembangan pemikiran filsafat pasca Era Skolastik, maka pemikiran filsafat yang mensintesakan antara pemikiran dogmatik dan skeptik telah muncul di Era Pencerahan.Pemikiran tercermin dari filsafat pemikiran Transendental Idealis dari Immanuel Kant (1724-1804). Inti pemikirannya adalah bahwa manusia sesungguhnya diberi kemampuan untuk memahami berdasarkan pengalaman empirisdan sesungguhnya pula manusia mampu mendapat pengertian tentang gejala yang bersifat esensi. Transendental Idealis, dengan demikian bersifat dinamis, bergerak untuk mencari nilai-nilai yang berguna untuk kehidupan. Pemikiran Transendental Idealis inilah yang kemudian menjadi landasan pemikiran Hans Kelsen (1881-1973) dalam mengajarkan normativitas dalam positivisme hukum (legal positivism). Normativitas dalam positivisme hukum ajaran Hans Kelsen bersumber dari integrasipositivisme empiris dan empirisme idealis.Kata Kunci : Normativitas, Neo-kantian, Hans Kelsen, Transsendental Idealis
