C'è logica nel pensiero critico?
No full textThis paper gives an account of the experiment of a short series of lectures which was posited by the author at the beginning of the first year of the Degree of Education at the University of Salerno and whose content was the structure of argumentation and the rules of dialogue. If the series of lectures was appreciated by the students, the main difficulty concerned how to introduce and to discuss logic and its basical contents (propositional logic, categorical logic, modalities and so on) in the run of the lectures. The author attempts to show that this introduction is factually necessary even if it stays hard, proposing some ways in order to do that

Il problema del tutto e delle parti: il caso del vitalismo di Montpellier
No full textIl problema costituito dal rapporto tra il tutto e le parti sembrerebbe, nel caso del vitalismo, risolto ancor prima di iniziare: qualsivoglia vitalismo (faccia esso dipendere la vita o l’attività dell’anima da un principio vitale, dalle simpatie, dalle entelechie, dall’omeostasi o dalla chiusura organizzativa non è forse un olismo, ovvero una teoria che oppone l’organismo (come la macchina della natura leibniziana che, contrariamente alle macchine artificiali, sarebbe “macchina sin nelle sue minime parti” all’infinito) alla macchina, ovvero alla pura contiguità spaziale? Non ci si trova forse di fronte ad una causalità circolare, top down? Anche un autore come Diderot – che saremmo portati a considerare materialista – scrive “Quale differenza tra un orologio senziente e vivente rispetto ad un orologio d’oro, di ferro, d’argento o di cuoio!”. In altri termini, il tipo di relazioni, di interazioni, di intrecci all’interno del corpo vivente non ha niente in comune con il tipo di relazioni, di rapporti causa-effetto, esistenti all'interno dei corpi inerti. È proprio questa la domanda a cui vorremmo rispondere in questa sede: qual è la concezione propriamente vitalista del nesso tra il tutto e le parti (sempre ammesso che esista una dottrina vitalista)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
