Edward Sapir

Language, culture, and mind are closely related, each of these extracts reflects one another. The relationship between language, culture and mind of speakers is a basic idea of Sapir and Whorf's theories and hypotheses. Language politeness that is rooted in the splash of the cultural values of the speaking community, including can be seen from the packaging of the information structure as outlined in the sentence of a language. The construction of different clauses grammatically packs different information structures and politeness values. The way of thinking between cultures as outlined in a writing will be different in the way it is delivered. The purpose of this study is to describe culture in expressive writing, is seen from the hypothesis of Edwar Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf.

In Islamic history, logic has been controversial. Some scholars forbid it, but others make it obligatory. This paper wants to describe how the logic built by the Quran is based on the contents of the book al-Qistas al-Mustaqi. This study is prominent in order to get a wider notion of logic in Islamic thought because by far the science of mantiq by many thinkers simply regarded as a copy of Greek logic. Moreover, to strengthen the relationship between philosophy and religion as well as to expand the fact that the Quran is rational. The main question to be answered is what is the logical form of the Quran in arguing in the book al-Qistas al-Mustaqim. In conclusion, it was found that the Quran already has principles in thinking. The Qur'an is not only a source of knowledge but also a parameter of knowledge. There are three parameters to weigh the Qur'an, namely ta'adul (equilibrium), talazum (equivalence), and ta'anud (contradiction). Anyone who intends to be safe in thinking should follow the way of thinking taught by the Qur'an. Those guidances are written by al-Ghazali in the book of al-Qistas al-Mustaqim as well as a refutation of the way argue from Ta'limiyah group.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.近年來，人工智能（ＡＩ）技術在醫療領域中的應用探索十分活躍，ＡＩ診斷又是其中的關注焦點。它可以使診斷更加高效和準確，從而在整體上改善醫療診斷品質，提高醫療資源的供给效率和公平性。不論從ＡＩ診斷發展的技術邏輯還是西方現代醫學診斷思維來看，從智慧助手發展到ＡＩ醫生都具有一定的合理性與必然性。但這一技術具有其内在局限，即使已經發展到理想狀態，ＡＩ醫生也不能完全取代醫生，它能輔助醫生和患者更充分地發揮各自的能動性，卻有可能傷害醫患互動的關鍵内核：意義生成和人格構建。如何在充分利用ＡＩ診斷醫生的效率的同時避免其有可能帶來的負面影響，人們需要對ＡＩ診斷技術發展的底層邏輯提供足夠有力的理論拮抗，而不是停留在技術所限定好的語境中解決那些具體的問題。本文提出，有必要引入中國傳統醫學的診斷思維和儒家“成人”理論，作為針對西方現代醫學觀念和現代主體性哲學發起反思的重要理論資源，並在此基礎上重新審視技術與人文的關係。Applying AI in medical contexts, especially for diagnosis, has become very popular in recent years. AI has the potential to make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, improving the overall quality of medical diagnosis and making medical provisions fairer and more effective. Combining the logic of AI with that of modern Western medical diagnosis, it is to some extent intuitive to imagine AI physicians. However, even in its ideal form, AI technology has intrinsic limitations that will prevent it from completely replacing physicians. Although AI can help physicians and patients to develop their own agency, it may strike at the core of physician–patient interaction: generating meaning and constructing personhood/subjectivity. How can we make best use of the efficiency of AI diagnosis while avoiding its potential negative influence? There needs to be a powerful theoretical rejoinder to the fundamental logic of AI diagnosis. It is not enough to deal with specific issues within the realm already delimited by AI diagnosis technology. This paper highlights the need to incorporate the way of thinking of traditional Chinese medical diagnosis and the Confucian theory of “the way of becoming a person.” Both are important theoretical resources that can be used to counterbalance the way of thinking of modern Western medicine and modern Western philosophy, which emphasize subjectivity. On this basis, the relationship between technology and the humanities can be re-examined.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 65 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.

In Strelau’s theory of temperament (RTT), there are four types of temperament, differentiated according to low vs. high stimulation processing capacity and to the level of their internal harmonization. The type of temperament is considered harmonized when the constellation of all temperamental traits is internally matched to the need for stimulation, which is related to effectiveness of stimulation processing. In nonharmonized temperamental structure, an internal mismatch is observed which is linked to ineffectiveness of stimulation processing. The three studies presented here investigated the relationship between temperamental structures and the strategies of categorization. Results revealed that subjects with harmonized structures efficiently control the level of stimulation stemming from the cognitive activity, independent of the affective value of situation. The pattern of results attained for subjects with nonharmonized structures was more ambiguous: They were as good as subjects with harmonized structures at adjusting the way of information processing to their stimulation processing capacities, but they also proved to be more responsive to the affective character of stimulation (positive or negative mood).

We define prescription as any intervention in the way another person speaks. Long excluded from linguistics as unscientific, prescription is in fact a natural part of linguistic behavior. We seek to understand the logic and method of prescriptivism through the study of usage manuals: their authors, sources and audience; their social context; the categories of “errors” targeted; the justification for correction; the phrasing of prescription; the relationship between demonstrated usage and the usage prescribed; the effect of the prescription. Our corpus is a collection of about 30 usage manuals in the French tradition. Eventually we hope to create a database permitting easy comparison of these features.

Barbara Cassin's Jacques the Sophist: Lacan, Logos, and Psychoanalysis, recently translated into English, constitutes an important rereading of Lacan, and a sustained commentary not only on his interpretation of Greek philosophers, notably the Sophists, but more broadly the relationship between psychoanalysis and sophistry. In her study, Cassin draws out the sophistic elements of Lacan's own language, or the way that Lacan ‘philosophistizes’, as she puts it. This article focuses on the relation between Cassin's text and her better-known Dictionary of Untranslatables, and aims to show how and why both ‘untranslatability’ and ‘performativity’ become keys to understanding what this book is not only saying, but also doing. It ends with a series of reflections on machine translation, and how the intersubjective dynamic as theorized by Lacan might open up the possibility of what is here termed a ‘translatorly’ mode of reading and writing.

Clinical Cases

In Uruguay, Lacanian ideas arrived in the 1960s, into a context of Kleinian hegemony. Adopting a discursive approach, this study researched the initial reception of these ideas and its effects on clinical practices. We gathered a corpus of discursive data from clinical cases and theoretical-doctrinal articles (from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s). In order to examine the effects of Lacanian ideas, we analysed the difference in the way of interpreting the clinical material before and after Lacan's reception. The results of this research illuminate some epistemological problems of psychoanalysis, especially the relationship between theory and clinical practice.

This volume is an interdisciplinary assessment of the relationship between religion and the FBI. We recount the history of the FBI’s engagement with multiple religious communities and with aspects of public or “civic” religion such as morality and respectability. The book presents new research to explain roughly the history of the FBI’s interaction with religion over approximately one century, from the pre-Hoover period to the post-9/11 era. Along the way, the book explores vexed issues that go beyond the particulars of the FBI’s history—the juxtaposition of “religion” and “cult,” the ways in which race can shape the public’s perceptions of religion (and vica versa), the challenges of mediating between a religious orientation and a secular one, and the role and limits of academic scholarship as a way of addressing the differing worldviews of the FBI and some of the religious communities it encounters.
