Описание: Bernard Williams`s remarkable essay on morality confronts the problems of writing moral philosophy and offers a stimulating alternative to more systematic accounts which seem nevertheless to have left all the important issues somewhere off the page.
An analysis of two heuristic strategies for the development of mechanistic models, illustrated with historical examples from the life sciences.
In Discovering Complexity, William Bechtel and Robert Richardson examine two heuristics that guided the development of mechanistic models in the life sciences: decomposition and localization. Drawing on historical cases from disciplines including cell biology, cognitive neuroscience, and genetics, they identify a number of "choice points" that life scientists confront in developing mechanistic explanations and show how different choices result in divergent explanatory models. Describing decomposition as the attempt to differentiate functional and structural components of a system and localization as the assignment of responsibility for specific functions to specific structures, Bechtel and Richardson examine the usefulness of these heuristics as well as their fallibility -- the sometimes false assumption underlying them that nature is significantly decomposable and hierarchically organized.
When Discovering Complexity was originally published in 1993, few philosophers of science perceived the centrality of seeking mechanisms to explain phenomena in biology, relying instead on the model of nomological explanation advanced by the logical positivists (a model Bechtel and Richardson found to be utterly inapplicable to the examples from the life sciences in their study). Since then, mechanism and mechanistic explanation have become widely discussed. In a substantive new introduction to this MIT Press edition of their book, Bechtel and Richardson examine both philosophical and scientific developments in research on mechanistic models since 1993.

Описание: The question of how moral and legal reasoning interact has been a central focus in modern legal philosophy. Matthew Kramer here analyses the diverse ways in which moral principles enter legal systems, and presents a staunch defence of the `separability` thesis - that law is not inherently moral in its effects or motivational underpinnings.

Описание: Morality is not declining in the modern world. Instead, a new morality is replacing the previous one. Centered on individual self-fulfillment, and linked to administrative government, it permits things the old morality forbid, like sex for pleasure, but forbids things the old morality allowed, like intolerance and equality of opportunity.
During the Ming-Qing transition (roughly from the 1570s to the 1680s), literati-officials in China employed public forms of writing, art, and social spectacle to present positive moral images of themselves and negative images of their rivals. The rise of print culture, the dynastic change, and the proliferating approaches to Confucian moral cultivation together gave shape to this new political culture. Confucian Image Politics considers the moral images of officials—as fathers, sons, husbands, and friends—circulated in a variety of media inside and outside the court. It shows how power negotiations took place through participants’ invocations of Confucian ethical ideals in political attacks, self-expression, self-defense, discussion of politically sensitive issues, and literati community rebuilding after the dynastic change. This first book-length study of early modern Chinese politics from the perspective of critical men’s history shows how images—the Donglin official, the Fushe scholar, the turncoat figure—were created, circulated, and contested to serve political purposes.

Описание: The book opens by presenting an overview of modern research on the evolution and genetics of entomopathogenic fungi in Chapter One, including their function in the environment, relationship with the insect immune system, and their genetic diversity, among other things. Following this, Manuel Ruiz-Garcia, Nicolas Lichilin-Ortiz, Yolanda Mejia, Juan Manuel Ortega, and Joseph Mark Shostell discuss a study in Chapter Two where it was found that the genetic diversity levels for samples of Eira Barbara were very high. In Chapter Three, Stephen M Modell, Sharon L R Kardia, and Toby Citrin compare and contrast methods of cancer treatment for three cancer types: lung, breast, and colorectal. Anne-Sophie Pezzino, Nathalie Marec-Breton, and Agnes Lacroix review the current research on the neuropsychological profiles of persons with Williams syndrome, focusing on the heterogeneity of the observed profiles, in Chapter Four. In Chapter Five, Chun Kyu Lim presents a study on chromosome rearrangements and preimplantation genetic diagnosis. In conclusion, Chapter Six by Alan Lopez-Lopez, Miriam Margot Rivera-Angles, Carlos Alfonso Tovilla-Zarate, Roberto Molina-Solis, Araceli Valencia-Hernandez, Luis Gomez-Valencia, Thelma Beatriz Gonzalez-Castro, Isela E Juarez-Rojop, Maria Lilia Lopez-Narvaez, Ana Fresan, and Yazmin Hernandez-Diaz attempt to determine a family-based link between three polymorphisms of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in a Tabascan-Mexican population.

Описание: The Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program is, in a sense, an experiment to transform the nature of science, and represents one of the most effective mechanisms for catalyzing comprehensive site-based research that is collaborative, multidisciplinary, and long-term in nature. The scientific contributions of the Program are prodigious, but the broader impacts of participation have not been examined in a formal way. This book captures the consequences of participation in the Program on the perspectives, attitudes, and practices of environmental scientists. The edited volume comprises three sections. The first section includes two chapters that provide an overview of the history, goals, mission, and inner workings of the LTER network of sites. The second section comprises three dozen retrospective essays by scientists, data managers or educators who represent a broad spectrum of LTER sites from deserts to tropical forests and from arctic to marine ecosystems. Each essay addresses the same series of probing questions to uncover the extent to which participation has affected the ways that scientists conduct research, educate students, or provide outreach to the public. The final section encompasses 5 chapters, whose authors are biophysical scientists, historians, behavioral scientists, or social scientists. This section analyzes, integrates, or synthesizes the content of the previous chapters from multiple perspectives and uncovers emergent themes and future directions.
