I poteri della ragion pura : Kant e l'idea di una filosofia cosmica
No full textContro ogni settorializzazione del pensiero di Kant, che divide ambiti isolati gli uni dagli altri al servizio di scopi diversi (conoscenza, morale, estetica e finalità), e frammenta l'unità della prima Critica in facoltà separate, questo libro propone una comprensione dell'unità della ragione nelle sue forme diverse. Prende le mosse dall'Architettonica della ragion pura, dall'idea di filosofia cosmica e dal ruolo delle idee nella loro differenza dai concetti, per attraversare l'intera filosofia critica. Il concetto di sintesi a priori è la formulazione kantiana di un potere della ragione di istituire leggi e uscire da se stessa verso il mondo, e viene esaminato nei suoi più diversi risvolti: in senso teorico e pratico, nel suo uso in matematica, metafisica, nella conoscenza scientifica ed empirica. Questo volume, che esce in traduzione italiana dopo essere apparso da The University of Chicago Press nel 2015, chiarisce il significato di conoscenza, di a priori, i concetti schematizzati, e discute l'indipendenza relativa della sensibilità, il rapporto tra critica e metafisica, e tra ragione e capacità di giudizio. Dopo il 1781 Kant riformula continuamente le sue tesi finendo, con molte semplificazioni e ricostruzioni fuorvianti del suo percorso, per oscurare il suo pensiero originario. Si tratta di comprendere le esitazioni, le svolte e le scelte di Kant e illustrarne le conseguenze, ma ciò, lungi dallo sminuire l'importanza della sua filosofia, ce ne fa apprezzare più in profondità la complessità
The Political Legacy of Classical German Philosophy: Guest Editors’ Preface
Full text linkThe political legacy of classical German philosophy can contribute in a crucial way to the most recent developments of contemporary political thought, thereby also making sense of the contradictions underlying the social practices and institutional values of our societies. What justifies this perspective is, in the first place, the complexity of contemporaneity, which holds within itself a doubleness that can be understood in the light of the conceptual tools of classical German philosophy. On the one hand, contemporary societies seem to be facing relentless crises in the modern idea of democracy, the political subject of the nation-state, and capitalist economic structures. On the other hand, there is an ever-increasing demand for rights and new forms of recognition, not to mention the emergence of grassroots movements that strive for greater political participation and generate new collective subjectivities. By radically questioning traditional philosophical categories, Kant, Fichte and Hegel provide a new and insightful understanding of the crucial challenges of modernity. They outline a conception of practical rationality and its multiple manifestations that is irreplaceable for philosophically understanding our contemporary world
Autonomy, dignity and history in Caranti’s Kant’s political legacy
Full text linkIn this paper I discuss some relevant theses of Caranti’s Kant’s Political
Legacy, whose aim is to provide a consistent account of how we could develop
Kant’s political thought and see to what extent Kant’s insights can help us
to critically understand the 21st century’s political world. First, I will
focus on autonomy as the ground of dignity and discuss Caranti’s arguments
against the exclusiveness of the Categorical Imperative as the sole
principle of true moral agency. Second, I will take into account Caranti’s
views on history and consider whether human rational nature can be regarded
as containing teleological - though non-biological - elements, thereby
questioning Caranti’s Separability Thesis
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
