    What Ever happened to Francis Glisson? Albrecht Haller and the Fate of Eighteenth-Century Irritability

    No full text
    This article investigates the reasons behind the disappearance of Francis Glisson’s theory of irritability during the eighteenth century. At a time when natural investigations were becoming increasingly polarized between mind and matter in the attempt to save both man’s consciousness and the inert nature of the res extensa, Glisson’s notion of a natural perception embedded in matter did not satisfy the new science’s basic injunction not to superimpose perceptions and appetites on nature. Knowledge of nature could not be based on knowledge within nature, i.e., on the very knowledge that nature has of itself; or – to look at the same question from the point of view of the human mind – man’s consciousness could not be seen as participating in forms of natural selfhood. Albrecht Haller played a key role in this story. Through his experiments, Haller thought he had conclusively demonstrated that the response given by nature when irritated did not betray any natural perceptivity, any inner life, any sentiment interi´eur. In doing so, he provided a less bewildering theory of irritability for the rising communities of experimental physiology

    Commons and peasant studies: Insights from social anthropology, human geography and agrarian economics

    No full text
    In Chapter 4, ‘Commons and peasant studies: insights from social anthropology, human geography and agrarian economics’, Tobias Haller, Karina Liechti and Stefan Mann discuss socio-cultural, economic and space-related systems and take an interdisciplinary social science perspective on the institutional change of the commons. They offer a broad overview of relevant approaches related to Swiss rural societies and commons studies in anthropology, human geography and agrarian economics. They explain the role that new institutionalism plays in the analysis, outline the work of Netting and Ostrom, and subsequently focus on institutional change and the role of bargaining power and ideology elaborated by Jean Ensminger (and revised by Tobias Haller), as well as the way power can be analysed from political ecology perspectives. They conclude by outlining the relevance of non-economic and identity utility for the maintenance of the commons, and reflect on resilience, vulnerability and bottom-up institution-building (constitutionality) in the ‘Swiss lab’
