Reconsidering The Platonic Cleitophon, Kyriakos N. Demetriou Dec 2000

Reconsidering The Platonic Cleitophon, Kyriakos N. Demetriou

Kyriakos N. Demetriou

This article unravels the riddle of the Platonic "Cleitophon" through an examination of S.R. Slings' "Plato, Clitophon" (Cambridge University Press, 1999). It examines the history of the reception of this dialogue from the 19th century to present day Platonic analytic and interpretative approaches.

Sharing Job Resources: Ethical Reflections On The Justification Of Basic Income, Jurgen De Wispelaere Nov 2000

Sharing Job Resources: Ethical Reflections On The Justification Of Basic Income, Jurgen De Wispelaere

Jurgen De Wispelaere

Philippe Van Parijs’s ethical justification of basic income is based on the argument that job resources must be shared equally. Underlying this idea are two important claims: (1) all individuals in society hold an ex ante entitlement in job resources and (2) job resources are tradable. First, I present the real-libertarian argument for sharing job resources. Next, I identify and critically review three different objections against this view: the liability objection, the cooperation objection and the parasitism objection. I believe the parasitism objection poses a serious challenge to basic income, and argue that Van Parijs’s most plausible response - based …

Reporting The Study Populations Of Clinical Trials. Clear Transmission Or Static On The Line?, Stanley Shapiro, Charles Weijer, Benjamin Freedman Aug 2000

Reporting The Study Populations Of Clinical Trials. Clear Transmission Or Static On The Line?, Stanley Shapiro, Charles Weijer, Benjamin Freedman

Charles Weijer

In contrast to attempts that have been made to measure the clarity of reporting of the methods of clinical trials in journal articles, we report here an attempt to measure the accuracy of methods reporting. We focus in this article on eligibility criteria as a test case for the reporting of clinical trial methods. We examined the reporting of eligibility criteria in the protocol, methods paper (if applicable), journal article, and Clinical Alert for articles appearing in print between January 1988 and September 1994 for which a Clinical Alert had been issued. Eligibility criteria were further classified into five categories …

Protecting Communities In Biomedical Research, Charles Weijer, E. Emanuel Aug 2000

Protecting Communities In Biomedical Research, Charles Weijer, E. Emanuel

Charles Weijer

Although for the last 50 years, ethicists dealing with human experimentation have focused primarily on the need to protect individual research subjects and vulnerable groups, biomedical research, especially in genetics, now requires the establishment of standards for the protection of communities. We have developed such a strategy, based on five steps. (i) Identification of community characteristics relevant to the biomedical research setting, (ii) delineation of a typology of different types of communities using these characteristics, (iii) determination of the range of possible community protections, (iv) creation of connections between particular protections and one or more community characteristics necessary for its …

Making The Right Identification In The Turing Test, Saul Traiger Jan 2000

Making The Right Identification In The Turing Test, Saul Traiger

Saul Traiger

The test Turing proposed for machine intelligence is usually understood to be a test of whether a computer can fool a human into thinking that the computer is a human. This standard interpretation is rejected in favor of a test based on the Imitation Game introduced by Turing at the beginning of "Computing Machinery and Intelligence."

Reflexive Autopoietic Dissipative Special Systems Theory, Kent D. Palmer Jan 2000

Reflexive Autopoietic Dissipative Special Systems Theory, Kent D. Palmer

Kent D. Palmer

A newly discovered approach to extending General Systems Theory as defined by George Klir through a set of Special Systems is described. General Systems Theory is distinguished from the theory of Meta-systems. Then, a hinge of three special systems is identified between systems and meta-systems. These special systems are defined by algebraic analogies. Anomalous physical phenomena are specified that exemplify the structures defined by the algebraic analogies. The extraordinary efficacious properties of these special systems are explained. These include ultra-efficiency and ultra-effectiveness. These three special systems are called dissipative, autopoietic, and reflexive. They are anomalous within general systems theory and …


“Multicultural Adult Foster Care: An Oregon Case Study”, Jamie P. Ross Jan 2000

“Multicultural Adult Foster Care: An Oregon Case Study”, Jamie P. Ross

Jamie P Ross

Abstract This study is an analysis of an immigrant Romanian family that operates an adult foster care home in a well-established community based health system in Portland, Oregon. The study utilizes categories of elder health and satisfaction identified by elders’ themselves, and include: a. engaged interaction, b. mutual satisfaction in relationships, c. ritual and, d. the reduction of social distance. Little research has been done from the caregivers' standpoints. In addition to the opportunity to reveal the construction of a particular form of immigrant assimilated knowledge, this study also has the potential to contribute to sociological and public philosophy and …


Medicine Through A Feminist Lens, Jamie P. Ross Jan 2000

Medicine Through A Feminist Lens, Jamie P. Ross

Jamie P Ross

Evidence-based research that is planned, performed and distributed with feminist perspectives, premises, and methodologies provides support for the policy efforts and legislative decision-making of service community organizations. Linking this type of medical research to policy facilitates and sustains positive health outcomes in women’s lives. The effectiveness of the legislation can be monitored. Instead of showing that the lack of policy disadvantages women, we can show how policy can reduce disparities. Coordinating policy indicator variables with health indicator variables produces a powerful means for understanding which health indicators need further policy support. I look at the kind of feminist evidenced-based research …
