As an umbrella term, the planetary has become a type of placeholder for many different ways of rethinking how the human and the non-human interact in relation to space and time (national time, colonial time, deep time). As well, when we engage with marginalized epistemologies associated with, for example, Indigenous and other nonEuropean cultures, what kind of planetarity is constructed then? And what types of affect does planetarity generate (for example, between the human and the in/non-human) in these contexts? Language and the necessity for multilingual translations of affective concepts are at the core of such questions. My paper will consider an uncomfortable cosmopolitan planetary affect in relation to the Inuit writer Tanya Tagaq’s Split Tooth, the Korean novelist Han Kang’s The Vegetarian and the Japanese German writer Yoko Tawada.

The article focuses on a concept placed at the core of the A-Deduction, of which the B-Version provides a different but not necessarily better exposition. It is the concept of “transcendental affinity” [transcendentale Affinität] (A 144). This concept is not present in the whole B-Edition of the KrV, and even the term “Affinity” does not appear in the B-Deduction, but only four times in the Transcendental Dialectic, and twice in the Discipline of the Pure Reason. In the economy of the A-Deduction, the concept of “transcendental affinity” plays a central role. It represents indeed the “thoroughgoing connection according to necessary laws” of all the possible phenomena. This connection is presupposed by transcendental consciousness insofar as it has a representation of these phenomena and their relationships, since what all the possible phenomena share is their determination in space and time according to the synthetic unity of the apperception. The concept of transcendental affinity between all the possible phenomena is intimately linked to imagination, which makes this affinity arise by reproducing a phenomenon in space and time according to the a priori laws of understanding. The necessary link between transcendental affinity and imagination represents an important passage in this paper. One goal is to point out that the implications of transcendental affinity are not rejected but rather deepened in the B-Deduction. On these assumptions, we consider the role of the “I think” in the B-Deduction, in order to claim that it implicitly relies upon the concept of transcendental affinity too. The last part of the paper aims to point out that the transcendental affinity between the phenomena describedin the A-Deduction is particularly apt to understand the unity of the representation of nature. To shed light on this point, we will deal with some significant passages from the Opus postumum.

Years ago an older man from Arizona well-versed in indigenous astronomies went with me to Kūkaniloko. He asked me, “there are seven directions – what are they?” For about 12 years Iʻve been researching precontact astronomy represented at Kūkaniloko, the site known as the piko of O’ahu – the navel, the center of the island.  It is also one of only two royal birthing sites in Ka Pae ‘Āina, the Hawaiian archipelago.  The piko-ness of Kūkaniloko has been very much at the core of my research data. And that data showed that precontact astronomy at Kūkaniloko was about much more than sun stations, star rises and sets, calendrics, and navigation. The data showed that bigger ideas, things like the structure of space and time – wā and kā – and matters of gender relations, the importance of ao and pō, and other philosophical or metaphysical ideas were embedded in Kūkanilokoʻs astronomy.

Opening Up

By redefining the notion of fragmentarity and existing theoretical conceptions, from romantic fascination with ruins to the contemporary position of variability, the paper places incompleteness as the essential potentiality of form, imagination and contingency in a way that opens new spacetime categories. In the paper, fragmentation is understood as a model for interpreting reality and for examining the capacity of architectural incompleteness. Setting complexity as the context, change as the method and variability as the model for understanding the architectural contemporaries within its reality, spatial and temporal uncertainty become characteristics of the fragmentation and destabilization of relations - their reflection. This way of structuring order out of chaos, or destabilizing order for the purpose of new structures, is the complexity of a higher order. The uncaptured nature of all things, in distracting the new, transports its own limitations, thematized through places of change, separation and path - specific singularities, allowing flexibility through imperfection. The elusive nature of all things, in opening to the new, transcends its own limitations, thematizing itself through places of change, separation and cracking. These are specific singularities that allow flexibility through incompleteness, thus opening up towards new forms of reality, between uncertainty and indeterminacy - in the zone of their overlap, space and time become fragmented. This true spontaneity is the greatest complexity that carries within itself the power of change and essential potentiality - a meaning that is always just emerging. The question of the degree of incompleteness is in the core of the concept of openness, in which the alteration of form and geometry take place.

Tripartite Interaction

Microbe-plant interactions are linked with the core microbiota, and both the plant and the microbial partners depend on one other to thrive in nature. However, why and how the below-ground core microbiota become established aboveground is poorly understood. We tracked the movement of a probiotic Streptomyces endophyte throughout a managed strawberry ecosystem. Probiotics in the rhizosphere and anthosphere were genetically identical, yet these niches were segregated in space and time. The probiotic in the rhizosphere moved upward via the vascular bundle, relocated to aboveground plant parts, and protected against Botrytis cinerea. It also moved from flowers to roots, and among flowers via pollinators that were protected against pollinator pathogens. Our results reveal a solid evidence in tripartite interaction with Streptomyces exploiting plant and pollinator partners.

AbstractIt is very often for some people to define theology as the core of Islamic teachings in the regard of its content as the science of God. It has Arabic similar terms such as Aqidah and Kalam for explaining the principles of God. It is not surprisingly that Moslem should deal with the issues of theology since the early history of Islam, but why do appear some conflicts in the matters of theology.Theological controversies are something inherent regarding theology is the result of man’s thinking which are bound by the limits of space and of time as the contexts. In other words, theology is the application of the principle of universalism of Islamic teachings in the certain contexts of space and time. Consequently theology is improperly to be claimed as having a universal application. That is why theology is different from iman (belief). It is believed by the Sufis who evaluate correctly that theology does not have an in-depth feeling of spirituality due to its main focus on the use of ratio for the elaboration. Meanwhile iman exists in all religions theology exists in the religions which deal with the matters of worldly affairs, especially in monotheist religions such as Yew, Christian, and Islam.Theology is in great need at the time of crisis such as at the time of the death of Muhammad PBUH the prophet. Indeed at that time theology has not developed well and be arranged systematically as today. We have some theological groups such as Shiite, Sunni, Khawarij. And in Indonesia we have Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama, and PKS which all of them come from the Sunni sect. It is possible to notice them from their different socio-cultural background. In other words, socio-cultural background influence the form of theology.Keywords: theology, belief, Sunni, Shiite, Muhammadiyah, NU, and PKS.

<p>Plate reorganization events are a characteristic of plate tectonics that punctuate the Phanerozoic. They fundamentally change the lithospheric plate-motion circuit, influencing the planet’s tectonic-mantle system and both ocean and atmospheric circulation through changes in bathymetry and topography. The development of full-plate reconstructions for deep time allows the geological record to be interrogated in a framework where plate kinematic reorganizations can be explored. Here, the geological record of the one of the most extensive tracts of Neoproterozoic crust on the planet (the Arabian-Nubian Shield) is interpreted to reflect a late Tonian plate reorganization at ca. 800-715 Ma that switched plate-convergence directions in the Mozambique Ocean, bringing Neoproterozoic India towards both the African cratons and Australia-Mawson, instigating the closure of the intervening ocean and the future amalgamation of central Gondwana ca. 200 million years later. This plate kinematic change is coeval with constraints on break-up of the core of Rodinia between Australia-Mawson and Laurentia and Kalahari and Congo.</p>

Cultural Crisis

La relazionalità è l’indiscutibile certezza intorno alla quale possono convergere diverse visioni antropologiche. La relazione d’amore tra uomo e donna è il nucleo dell’antropologia ed è al tempo stesso il punto di crisi della cultura attuale. In realtà, non possiamo pensare che l’amore sia una cosa dall’orizzonte limitato: una cosa che si può misurare con parametri finiti come il tempo e lo spazio. L’amore umano —per la sua somiglianza con quello divino— sarà in qualche modo anch’esso infinito e dotato di una fecondità “creatrice” nel senso che provoca una crescita nell’essere. E’ tempo di concentrare il pensiero su questa esperienza per restituirla alla vita con una consapevolezza più totale, razionale oltre che emotiva.The love relationship between man and woman is at the core of Anthropology and it is also a starting point for today’s cultural crisis. Love is not a reality with limited horizons that can be measured with finite parameters such as space and time. Because of its similitude with the divine, human love is also, to some extent, infinite and it possess a “creating” fecundity inasmuch as it causes a growth in the being. It is time to concentrate our thoughts into this experience with the purpose of returning it to life with a more complete consciousness, one derived from reason, not just feeling.

The core claims of transcendental idealism are examined, according to which empirical objects and empirical selves are appearances and not things in themselves, and pure space and time are nothing but forms of sensibility. Kant is shown to be a relationalist about empirical space and time in holding that empirical space and time are constituted by the spatial and temporal determinations of empirical objects. Furthermore, it is explicated how Kant can be both a transcendental idealist and an empirical realist about empirical objects, empirical selves, and empirical space and time, and how his idealism differs from transcendental realism, as well as from ordinary idealism such as Berkeley’s.

This expository essay describes various facets of translating J. Krishnamurti’s educational thought into an institutional setting at Rishi Valley School. Krishnamurti’s is a spiritual philosophy embedded in a transcendental vision; schools are secular institutions located in particular space and time; the former occupies a religious space, the latter address secular issues. How is the gap bridged? And, is there an interface between the secular and the spiritual in Krishnamutri’s thought? These questions form the core of the exposition. The chapter examines the values derived from the founder’s thought embedded in the school’s curricula, the norms that guide student-teacher relationships, and the shape of its outreach programmes in the areas of conservation, health and rural education.

Core Features

Previous research has shown that harm and impurity are relevant to a different extent across individuals and transgressions. However, the source of these differences is still unclear. Here, we combine language analysis and social-moral psychology to articulate the core defining features of impurity versus harm. In Study 1 (a–c), we found systematic variation in language use, indicating that people infer that contamination, unlike injury, affects a target completely and irreversibly, rendering them a transmitter of contamination. In Study 2 (a–b), we investigated how evoking intuitions about these core features of contamination—completeness, irreversibility, and transferability—influences judgments of impurity and harm. We found that implying effects on a target were complete and irreversible altered judgments of impurity, but not harm. Overall, our research supports the conclusion that impurity and harm are substantially distinct in cognition and moral judgment; unlike harm, impurity connotes negative effects that spread continually across space and time.
