Nicholas Copernicus

In 1556, Robert Recorde (1510?-1558) provided the English reading public with the first significant reference to the heliocentric theories of Nicholas Copernicus. In a brief passage in his elementary text on astronomy,The Castle of Knowledge, Recorde introduced the fact that Copernicushathe renewed the opinion of Aristarchus Samius, andaffirmeth that the earthe not only moueth circularlyeabout his owne centre, but also may be, yea and is,continually out of the precise cētre of the world 38hundredth thousand miles:This statement, preceded by a review of other ancient astronomers who held similar views, and followed by a promise to the reader that the subject would be examined later in greater detail, constituted the complete reference to Copernicus and his theories. It was neither an endorsement nor a repudiation of the revolutionary theories advanced by Copernicus. Given his reputation as a competent and thorough scholar, one may legitimately ask, first, why did Recorde limit himself to such a short statement? and, second, how can his attitude toward the heliocentric theories be established with greater certainty? Because Recorde elected not to commit himself further inThe Castle of Knowledge, any discussion of his attitude toward the new theories must be based on indirect evidence. The point to be demonstrated is that Recorde was influenced by a particular philosophy that enabled him to view favorably the theories advanced in Copernicus's great work,De Revolutionibus Orbium Celestium. The first part of this study examines some probable causes for Recorde's reluctance to expand upon his reference to Copernicus, while the remainder examines his philosophical views.

Thinking Consciousness

In this essay I am aiming to sketch a context of my view of music, taking the form of a musically-inspired Weltanschauung [world view]. Confronted with “great” music of all types, I experience the particular ability of music to bring consciousness into a state of listening, attentive “passivity”, without the need for an explanation of what it is about. Afterwards, the thinking consciousness may rise to active reflection on the unique potential of meaning in music – so unlike anything else – and on the equally enigmatic resonant disposition in me that responds to music as an essential meaningful appeal. Although music has all the characteristics of its human origin and historical context, it may be considered as a spring welling from the very source of the world: Its potential of meaning is rooted deeper than human culture. Thus, music offers a confrontation with objective reality, not with something “staged” by our consciousness or, not to mention, by our brain. This musical confrontation with reality has led to my questioning the subjectivism of Kant and especially Fichte, and to an interest in Schelling’s philosophy of nature as a convincing refutation of subjectivistic epistemology. In the name of reality, I touch on the problematic interpretations and conclusions of neuroscience and brain research concerning self-perception. This sort of “philosophy”, where the very self (i.e. the “I” or the subject) is identified with the object studied, i.e. the brain itself. This view may also imply a reductionistic understanding of the experience of meaningful music as “staged” by the reward system of the brain.

This study discusses how the world view according to the author in Pramoedya Ananta Toer's novel Midah Simanis Bergigi Emas based on genetic structuralism which covers the world view and collective subject and the surrounding environment and how the author views Pramoedya Ananta Toer's Midah Simanis Bergigi Emas novel based on reality history linked to the literary work. The method used in this research is descriptive analytical method. The analysis technique performed is dialectical technique, namely, prioritizing coherent meaning. Dialectic techniques develop two kinds of concepts, namely "whole-part" and "understanding-explanation". Sources of data in this study used primary data sources in the form of a novel entitled Midah Simanis Bergigi Emas by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. the creation of the Midah Simanis Bergigi Emas novel was lifted from a social problem that affected it. Genetic elements of the work of Sasta are worldview, author's relationship with historical reality, author's biography, application of novel genetic structuralism. The world view on genetic structuralism in the Midah Simanis Bergigi Emas novel is lifted from a social problem that influences its views on God, the world, and humans. The world view that triggers the subject to identify world views is considered as one of the characteristics of the success of a literary work in genetic structuralism.

The Subject

The paper is an autobiographical account of the critical role that race and racism came to play in the writing of the book Taking the Group Seriously (1998) over 20 years ago. I will start out by telling you something about my history and early life experiences which eventually took me to the IGA in London to train as a group analyst. I will describe how and why I started to become increasingly preoccupied with the themes of race and racism which eventually led me to doing a PhD on the subject. As I delved deeper into the study I was faced with a number of theoretical and experiential difficulties. The engagement with these difficulties led to the critique of the world view that prevailed (and I would say, continues to prevail) in mainstream psychoanalysis and group analysis. I will use some of my experiences at the IGA from that time to make links with dynamics within the institution today.

The Subject

In the age of terrorism and virulence, an absence of a true community remains an essential experience of an undeniable subject who, finally justified by its (self) isolation, tends to rediscover the concreteness of existence and vitality of the world of life. This experience will lead us to a possible reading of the narrative structure of identity as a horizon for an understanding of the history of metamorphoses of the subject. This interpretation of the function of narration illuminates a relation between the subject and its story which redefines our contemporary, pragmatically reduced, perception of practice.

The article presents the analysis of characteristic features of relationships between intelligence and imagination in the synthesis of conceptualized forms of knowledge. Two fundamental capacities of the subject that accomplish a constructive function in conceptualization of theoretical forms of knowledge are distinguished. The first one is the ability to synthesize categories and develop practical and relatively paradigmatically consistent methodologies, that is, the reflective ability of judgement that implies the development of a distinct structure comprising the previous findings as fundamental constructs. The second one is the ability to change the world view when dealing with “abnormal science” that implies the employment of philosophical and general scientific principles in their constructive function.

Las Mujeres

<span class="subtitulo">This paper pays attention to an aspect in the drama of Miguel Hernández that has so far not been the subject of much analysis. Here the dramaturgical analysis of his female characters is made bearing in mind the world view of the poetplaywright in two aspects: one based on his personal experience, and the other deriving from the literary tradition he assimilated. This double vision leads him to the building of a feminine typology of archetypal behaviours determined by a canonically patriarchal world view, and qualified by the characters of the literary heroines stemming from the playwright's reading. The result is the fiancées/wives, sisters an mothers, women defending the honour that would be taken from them by force, or beloved women whose resistance makes their ardent lovers suffer. However, in En Labrador de más aire there is a feminine character that is spontaneous and authentic in her emotions, and whom the author hes endowed with an outspoken vehement nature.</span>

Map Scale

In three experiments, subjects performed a navigational checking task in which the view presented on an electronic map was compared with the view of a simulated world to determine the congruence. Map viewpoints were varied in elevation and azimuth angle disparity relative to the world view to simulate the effects of map rotation and 3D map angle on navigational checking. On most trials the area depicted was the same, whereas on a small percentage, features of the map were altered, requiring the subject to judge “mismatch”. In Experiment 1, using simple images, response time increased non-linearly with elevation angle distortion. In Experiment 3, using more complex images, similar effects were found and were augmented by effects of azimuth angle distortion. In Experiment 3, using dynamic realistic real world scenes, elevation angle and map scale effects were examined and revealed a complex pattern. The results are interpreted in terms of guidelines for 3D electronic map construction.

The Subject

The subject of this volume is intentional dental modification—changing the human appearance by removing teeth, or otherwise altering their shape, surface, or color. It has been practiced, in one form or another, on every occupied continent at some point over the past 16,000 years. The contributions in this volume encompass a diverse body of work on the subject over this timespan, from Africa, Europe, the Americas, Australia, Oceania, and Asia. As a highly visible practice, dental modification may be used to send complex messages concerning a variety of topics, including status, personal identity, and group membership. But beyond this, the difficulties in identifying purposefully modified teeth, the motivations for and biocultural consequences of the practice, and even the social context in which it still occurs today are presented. As a body of work, the aim is to capture a representative spectrum of dental modification around the world, and the variety of ways in which it can inform us about the humans occupying those regions, both past and present.

SummaryA difference in the prevalence of venous thromboembolism (TE) in major human groups has been described and an uneven distribution of FV Leiden mutation over the world has recently been reported.We investigated FV Leiden mutation in 584 apparently healthy sub#jects mostly from populations different from those previously investi#gated: 170 Europeans (Spanish, Italians), 101 sub-saharan Africans (Fon, Bariba, Berba, Dendi), 115 Asians (Indonesians, Chinese, Tharus), 57 Amerindians (Cayapa), 84 Afroamericans (Rio Cayapa, Viche), and 57 Ethiopians (Amhara, Oromo).The mutation was detected in only 1/115 Asian (Tharu) and in 5/170 Europeans (4 Italians, 1 Spanish).These data confirm that in non-Europeans the prevalence of FV mutation is at least 7 times lower than in Europeans and provide indirect evidence of a low prevalence not only of the FV Leiden gene but also of other genes leading to more severe thrombophilia. Finally, findings from the literature together with those pertaining to this study clearly show a marked heterogeneity among Europeans.
