This chapter has as its focus the British delegation’s role in the formation of the Second Main Doctrine—on the extent of Christ’s atoning work—at the Synod of Dordt. After expositing a couple of key documents by James Ussher and John Overall, the chapter carefully inspects and summarizes never-before-studied manuscripts tracing the role of the British delegation in shaping the actual form of the Canons of Dordt on the extent of Christ’s work. Indeed, by looking at the British suffrage and their comments on the various early drafts of the Canons, this chapter undoubtedly proves that the Canons were written in such a way as to allow space for English hypothetical universalism within its confessional bounds.

This article addresses the issue of the uniqueness of legal reasoning and, specifically, the author advances the thesis that what makes legal reasoning different from the reasoning  employed in demonstrative and empirical sciences and matters of everyday life is not the actual form (scheme) of this reasoning but the legal milieu. Thus, he tries to demonstrate that some features of law – such as its normative and prescriptive nature, difficulties with the verification of its content on empirical grounds, its limitations stemming from the physical world and dependence on humans and their minds, as well as the ‘unspecialized’ character of law agents and the extraordinary role of authority – influence legal reasoning as well. At the same time these features also allow this reasoning to be unique, despite its adoption of forms of inference that are present elsewhere.

scholarly journals ROLE OF LEXEM OF TURKISH ORIGIN WITH THE SIGNIFICANCE OF «THE SPHERE OF TRADE» IN THE RUSSIAN LEXICAL AND PHRASEOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

The Russian Language

This article examines the structural and semantic features of the lexical and phraseological etymological fields of the Russian language, formed on the basis of lexemes-turcisms denoting the sphere of trade. In the structure of the lexical and phraseological etymological fields under consideration, the nucleus, perinuclear and peripheral zones were identified. Semantic analysis of the lexical etymological field «the sphere of trade» made it possible to identify semantic microfields in its composition. In addition, the role of lexemes of Turkish origin with the meaning «trade sphere» in the Russian vocabulary and phraseology is revealed. In addition, the role of Turkish-language components with the meaning «sphere of trade» in the composition of Russian phraseological units is identified and described: most of them are used to form the internal form of phraseological units and thus participate in the motivation of the general phraseological meaning, their smaller part forms the actual form of phraseological units without participation in motivation of general phraseological meaning.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

Abstract The authors do the field of cultural evolution a service by exploring the role of non-social cognition in human cumulative technological culture, truly neglected in comparison with socio-cognitive abilities frequently assumed to be the primary drivers. Some specifics of their delineation of the critical factors are problematic, however. I highlight recent chimpanzee–human comparative findings that should help refine such analyses.

The Relationship

Abstract This commentary focuses upon the relationship between two themes in the target article: the ways in which a Markov blanket may be defined and the role of precision and salience in mediating the interactions between what is internal and external to a system. These each rest upon the different perspectives we might take while “choosing” a Markov blanket.

Current Helicity

Extended AbstractRecent numerical simulations lead to the result that turbulence is much more magnetically driven than believed. In particular the role ofmagnetic buoyancyappears quite important for the generation ofα-effect and angular momentum transport (Brandenburg & Schmitt 1998). We present results obtained for a turbulence field driven by a (given) Lorentz force in a non-stratified but rotating convection zone. The main result confirms the numerical findings of Brandenburg & Schmitt that in the northern hemisphere theα-effect and the kinetic helicityℋkin= 〈u′ · rotu′〉 are positive (and negative in the northern hemisphere), this being just opposite to what occurs for the current helicityℋcurr= 〈j′ ·B′〉, which is negative in the northern hemisphere (and positive in the southern hemisphere). There has been an increasing number of papers presenting observations of current helicity at the solar surface, all showing that it isnegativein the northern hemisphere and positive in the southern hemisphere (see Rüdigeret al. 2000, also for a review).
