In this article, the author explores the interest of the interwar intellectuals in “time, death, God”. This focus on temporality as an existential problem engendered some major philosophical projects, which aimed at complete revision of how philosophy should be done, including Henri Bergson, Edmund Husserl, Franz Rosenzweig. The main part outlines a philosophical project of Yakov Druskin who addressed the problem of temporality in a highly original manner. Druskin combined philosophical reflection on time in its existential meaning with the search for intellectual methods and linguistic techniques to transcend our ordinary reality. Among these methods, in Druskin’s works present at least two major modes—meditation and “hieroglyphs”—can be identified. Both methods, however, aim at “transforming rather than informing” and at enabling us to linger in a “certain equilibrium with a minor error”.

This errata article discusses and corrects a minor error in our work published in VLDB 2019. The discrepancy specifically pertains to Algorithms 3 and 4. The algorithms presented in the paper are biased towards a commit decision in a specific failure scenario. We explain the error using an example before correcting the algorithm.

In his masterpiece The Star of Redemption, Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) shows as the notion of totality is a constant and central reference in the history of philosophy from Ionia to Jena. This paper aims to explain a different meaning of the concept of totality, reconsidering some aspects of the question starting from the philosophical reflection of Franz Rosenzweig and his opposition to the Hegelian thought. In particular, according to Rosenzweig, the concept of totality is the essential background in which one could rethink the concept of community. For this reason, the second part of this paper is focused on the implications of a different concept of totality embodied by Judaism.

This book explores the subject of cinematic realism through a long Introduction which covers general notions related to cinematic realism, and then through close analysis of book chapters written by Siegfried Kracauer and Georg Lukács. The theories of Edmund Husserl and Henri Bergson are also covered. The long Introduction attempts to set out a model of cinematic realism based on a philosophical realist and ‘externalist’ position. This is followed by an introductory chapter on Bergson, which serves as a foundation for the following four chapters, which cover the work of Lukács. The same structure is then repeated for Kracauer: an introductory chapter on Husserl is followed by four chapters on Kracauer.

The construction of Dyer-Lashof operations in K-theory outlined in (6) and refined in (12) depends in an essential way on the descriptions of the mod-p K-theory of EZp, ×ZpXp and EΣ ×σ p Xp given there. Unfortunately, these descriptions are incorrect when p is odd except in the case where the Bockstein β is identically zero in K*(X; Zp), and even in this case the methods of proof used in (6) and (12) are not strong enough to show that the answer given there is correct. In this paper we repair this difficulty, obtaining a complete corrected description of K*(EZp ×ZpXp; Zp) and K*(EΣp) (theorem 3·1 below, which should be compared with ((12); theorems 3·8 and 3·9) and ((6); theorem 3)). Because of the error, the method used in (6) and (12) to construct Dyer-Lashof operations fails to go through for odd primes when non-zero Bocksteins occur, and it is not clear that this method can be repaired. We shall not deal with the construction of Dyer-Lashof operations in this paper. Instead, the first author will give a complete treatment of these operations in (5), using our present results and the theory of H∞-ring spectra to obtain strengthened versions of the results originally claimed in ((12); theorem 5·1). There is also a minor error in the mod-2 results of (12) (namely, the second formula in (12), theorem 3·8 (a) (ii)) should readwhere B2 is the second mod-2 Bockstein, and a similar change is necessary in the second formula of ((12), theorem 3·8(b) (ii)). The correction of this error requires the methods of (5) and will not be dealt with here; fortunately, the mod-2 calculations of ((12), §6–9), (10) and (11) are unaffected and remain true as stated.

The reception of Jacques Derrida's work among both literary critics and biblical scholars has frequently taken the form of “deconstructive” exegesis, that is, textual studies which imitate his style of reading. Such readings fail to recognise that Derrida's unique literary style forms part of his philosophical project. Derrida's aims as a philosopher are most clearly to be seen in his reading of the work of Edmund Husserl. Husserl argues that, for our knowledge to have any lasting validity, the objects of our knowledge must be “ideal” objects, independent (in principle) of any particular act of knowing. By calling into question Husserl's analysis, Derrida's work threatens all our attempts to identify textual meaning, and calls into question the interpreter's very raison d'être. Therefore, rather than imitating Derrida's exegetical style, biblical scholars would be better engaged grappling with this philosophical challenge.

The objective of the essay is to follow the tracks of silence philosophically, as multiplicity not reducible to unity; there are instances of silence, not silence, neither objectively nor subjectively considered; it is not an 'object' or a 'subjective experience'. Recognize the relevance of silence based on its apparent irrelevance, and, nevertheless, point out the importance that it can have in the attempt to lead to philosophical reflection and to philosophize in general what is essential in it: THINKING. The proposed path requires LISTENING to language, rather than taking for granted the immediate disposition and transparency with which the world appears to us. To do this, we will reflect on excerpts from works written by three thinkers who lived 'war' up close: Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) and Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929). This work proceeds peripathetically, alone, reflections emerge in the middle of a world that crumbles between the complexity and destruction that technique and modernity have brought. It is undertaken by welcoming resonances, sensations, representations, images, verses and musings, reflecting in the midst of daily daze. Is there a logical-grammatical silence or an ethicalmystical-liturgical silence? Is silence equivalent to an impossibility of saying or is it the result of an impossibility of saying itself, which does not say when what it most wants to say? Silence of existence or silence in the face of events that threaten to overwhelm us? Is silence silent or is being silent?

Relocation of alkali metals sodium, potassium and cesium during oxidation of 4H-SiC has been studied by secondary ion mass spectrometry. The alkali metal source has been introduced by ion implantation before oxidation into n-and p-type 4H-SiC samples. Dry oxidation of SiC has been performed at 1150 oC during 4, 8 and 16 h. In the formed oxide, the main part of the alkali metals diffuses out via the SiO2 surface. Close to the moving SiO2/SiC interface, a minor amount of alkali metals is retained. In the SiC material, the main amount of implanted alkali atoms is not redistributed during the oxidation, although a minor amount diffuses deeper into the samples. For p-type 4H-SiC, the diffusion deeper into the samples of the studied alkali metals decreases as the mass increases, Na+<K+<Cs+, but the sodium mobility is substantial already at 1150 °C.

Regarding the summaries in Spanish, I have found them to be an excellent means of expanding my vocabulary of technical terms, since they are usually literal translations of the English summaries at the end of the papers. I was struck by a minor error in the October issue (Pediatrics, 36:592. 1965) which points up the problems of translation and communication troubles of our shrinking world. In the summary of the paper by Scriver and Davies the term ion exchange resin is translated as "resina para el intercambio de hierro," which translated back means resin for the exchange of iron.

Since the phenomenological analyses of picture perception by Edmund Husserl in the beginning of the last century, quite a few researchers have suggested emphatically that our perception of pictures has a dual nature. In short, when viewing a picture, the observer is aware of the picture as a flat object in perceived physical space and, simultaneously, of the pictorial space. Yet, despite a lot of phenomenological cogency, the concept of duality has had, at most, only a minor impact on vision science although it points to serious shortcomings of the common explanatory framework concerning picture perception and visual perception in general. In this article, a theoretical link between the duality of picture perception and the so-called robustness of perspective phenomenon is established and, extending an experimental design used by Vishwanath, Girshick, and Banks, resultant predictions empirically investigated. The results show empirical support for the dual nature of picture perception and pose a further challenge to theoretical accounts of both the robustness of perspective phenomenon and picture perception in general.
