Rudolf Otto filosofo della religione
No full textLo straordinario successo del Sacro (1917), che ha reso celebre Rudolf Otto, ha provocato, per contraccolpo, la diffusione di una figura stilizzata dell’autore, impoverita dall’oblio toccato al resto della sua produzione e da letture parziali e semplificative. Una ricostruzione genetica del modo in cui Otto impone la nozione di «heilig» nel lessico tedesco specializzato, muovendo da Lutero e opponendo al neokantismo una lettura friesiana del trascendentale, fa emergere la qualità filosofica di una teoria del religioso che rivela convergenze insospettate con la fenomenologia husserliana. The extraordinary success of The Holy (1917) made Rudolf Otto famous, but it also contributed to propagate a simplified figure of the author. The rest of his work was condemned to oblivion, which caused misleading interpretations of The Holy itself. A genetic reconstruction of the way in which Otto established the term «heilig» in the technical German proves to be fruitful. When considering his interpretation of Luther and his Fries-based opposition to a neoKantian approach to the concept of «transcendental», the philosophical relevance of Otto’s theory of religion can be fully recognized, as well as unsuspected links to Husserlian phenomenology
An Evaluation of Overall Goodness-of-Fit Tests for the Rasch Model
Full text linkFor assessing the fit of item response theory models, it has been suggested to apply overall goodness-of-fit tests as well as tests for individual items and item pairs. Although numerous goodness-of-fit tests have been proposed in the literature for the Rasch model, their relative power against several model violations has not been investigated so far. This study compares four of these tests, which are all available in R software: T10, T11, M2, and the LR test. Results on the Type I error rate and the sensitivity to violations of different assumptions of the Rasch model (unidimensionality, local independence on the level of item pairs, equal item discrimination, zero as a lower asymptote for the item characteristic curves, invariance of the item parameters) are reported. The results indicate that the T11 test is comparatively most powerful against violations of the assumption of parallel item characteristic curves, which includes the presence of unequal item discriminations and a non-zero lower asymptote. Against the remaining model violations, which can be summarized as local dependence, M2 is found to be most powerful. T10 and LR are found to be sensitive against violations of the assumption of parallel item characteristic curves, but are insensitive against local dependence

Rudolf Hilferding on English Mercantilism
Full text linkIn 1911 Rudolf Hilferding, the author of the famous book Finance Capital: A Study of the Latest Phase of Capitalist Development, published an article on the history of English mercantilism in Die neue Zeit, the theoretical organ of the Social Democratic Party of Germany edited by Karl Kautsky. The writing of the article was motivated by the publication, the previous year, of the third volume of Theories of Surplus-Value, containing Marx’s analysis of the work of Richard Jones, as well as by the simultaneous appearance of a German edition of Thomas Mun’s England’s Treasure by Forraign Trade. This article introduces the present author’s English translation of Hilferding’s article on mercantilism, titled “The Early Days of English Political Economy,” previously available only in German, and contextualizes it in the framework of the history of Marxist scholarship.Fil: Gaido, Daniel Fernando.

Code choice and code-switching in Swiss-German internet relay chat rooms
No full textIn the German-speaking regions of Switzerland, dialect is spoken by all social groups in most communicative situations, Standard German being used only when prescribed. Swiss dialects rarely appeared in written form before the 1980s, apart from the genre of dialect literature. Due to the growing acceptance of informal writing styles in many European languages, dialect is increasingly employed for written personal communication, in particular in computer-mediated communication (CMC). In Swiss Internet Relay Chat (IRC) rooms, varieties of German are used side by side as all chatters have a command of both standard and dialectal varieties. Depending on the channel, the proportion of dialectal contributions can be as high as 90 percent. The choice of a particular variety depends on both individual preference and on the predominant variety used within a specific thread. In this paper I take a quantitative approach to language variation in IRC and demonstrate how such an approach can help embed qualitative research on code-switching in CMC
