Review: Wittgenstein And Reason By John Preston, Daniel Hutto Jan 2009

Review: Wittgenstein And Reason By John Preston, Daniel Hutto

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

'Reason' is not one of Wittgenstein's usual words (this is pointed out by more than one of the contributors to Wittgenstein and Reason). Despite this, his insights into the nature of rule-following, the basis of religious belief and our capacity to understand and interpret both the mundane and ritualistic practices of others sheds important light on what we might possibly mean by talk of what is reasonable and rational. This is clearly brought out, in different ways and contexts, by the various contributors to this collection. Each chapter of the volume offers a tightly argued, beautifully written and illuminating take …

Preview Press The Escape Key To Close Modern Literary Theory And Ancient Texts. An Introduction, Ika Willis

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This short volume is designed to introduce classicists (mainly students of classical literature) to a range of twentieth-century theoretical approaches to the study of texts. Its best feature is S.’s unapologetic and palpable commitment both to theory, as the engine for producing new ways to frame and to explore crucial questions about literature, and to literary texts themselves. His conclusion, arguing that literary theory helps us perceive the ‘strangeness’ of classical texts and their provocations to ‘see the world from a strange perspective’ (p. 208), is passionate and convincing; the sections where he focusses on the application of modern theories …

Fishing Industry - Taiwan, Warwick Gullett Jan 2009

Fishing Industry - Taiwan, Warwick Gullett

Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)

Taiwan has one of the largest fishing industries in the world. But because Taiwan no longer holds a seat in the United Nations, it is often left out of standard U.N. doctrines that monitor and regulate fishing. The dilemma of how to handle Taiwan's unique situation while maintaining fishing-industry standards is an issue still to be addressed.

Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)

The threats posed by climate change to the global environment have fostered heightened scientific interest in marine geo-engineering schemes designed to boost the capacity of the oceans to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide. This is the primary goal of a process known as ocean fertilization which seeks to increase the production of organic material in the surface ocean in order to promote further draw down of photosynthesized carbon to the deep ocean. This article describes the process of ocean fertilization, its objectives and potential impacts on the marine environment and some examples of ocean fertilization experiments. It analyses the applicability of …
