"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Fingerprints of Thomas More's Epigrammata on English Poetry
No full textThomas More’s Latin epigrams, published with the second edition of Utopia in 1518, were apparently widely read both among contemporary European intellectuals and during the subsequent development of English poetry. With a humble audacity that could engage Classical authors in a Christian posture, More cultivated a literary climate that could retain the earthiness of the middle ages in dialogue with the ancients, and is more responsible for the ensuing expansion of vernacular poetry than perhaps any other Henrican author. This thesis probes the Classical influences and Humanist practices at work in the epigrams, explores their contemporary reception on the continent, and traces their legacy among sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English poets
Three American Frontiers: Writings of Thomas D. Clark
No full textThe casual and the serious of American history—fiddlers, yarn spinners, and riverboat gamblers, politicians, educators, and social reformers—have all concerned Thomas D. Clark, celebrated historian of the Western frontier and the changing South. Three American Frontiers, a volume of his selected writings, draws from works produced throughout Clark\u27s long career as a writer, teacher, and lecturer on the frontier West, social change in the South, and the cutting-edge of historical research.
An avid researcher and a tenacious collector of original materials, Clark looks to the everyday items like the record book of a country store, the file of a small-town newspaper, or the diary of a young Gold Rusher for aids to the analysis of larger trends in history. Holman Hamilton conveys Clark\u27s unique approach to his material and his enthusiasm for the common man in America\u27s past.
Among the many books by Thomas Clark are The Rampaging Frontier, The Emerging South, and Pills, Petticoats and Plows.
Holman Hamilton was a reporter and columnist with the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette before receiving his Ph.D. in history from the University of Kentucky. He was a Guggenheim Fellow, Fulbright Scholar, and professor of history at the University of Kentucky as well as President of the Kentucky Civil War Round Table and University Fellow. He was the author or editor of many books, including Three Kentucky Presidents and Prologue to Conflict.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_united_states_history/1054/thumbnail.jp

Portée herméneutique de la notion d'«intentio» chez Thomas d'Aquin
No full textThe author sets out with a hermeneutical purpose to analyse the precise meaning of the notion of «the author's intention» in Thomas Aquinas. He shows that from the semantic point of view the intentio auctoris pertains to the intentio voluntatis. Furthermore, the A. observes, on the one hand, that the intentio auctoris is a dynamic notion, as it intrinsically refers to a finality; and, on the other hand, that it has an analogical value, as it arises from the subjects of which Thomas predicates the intention. The article concludes with a hermeneutical placing in perspective of the question of the relationship between the intention of an author and the texts. Although considerably nuanced, the optimism of Thomas Aquinas concerning the understanding of an author's intention remains definitively valid due to the intention of seeking the truth common to the author and the reader. (Transl. by J. Dudley).L'auteur se propose d'analyser, dans une optique herméneutique, le sens précis de la notion d' «intention de l'auteur» chez Thomas d'Aquin. Il montre qu'au point de vue sémantique, Vintentio auctoris relève de Yintentio voluntatis. En outre, l'A. observe d'une part que Yintentio auctoris est une notion dynamique puisqu'elle se rapporte intrinsèquement à une finalité; et d'autre part qu'elle possède une valeur analogique, comme il ressort des sujets desquels Thomas prédique l'intention. L'article se termine par une mise en perspective herméneutique de la question du rapport entre l'intention d'un auteur et les textes. Bien que considérablement nuancé, l'optimisme de Thomas d'Aquin concernant la compréhension de l'intention d'un auteur reste en définitive valable par l'intention de recherche de la vérité commune à l'auteur et au lecteur.Narváez Mauricio.

O contrato social de Thomas Hobbes: alcances e limites
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em FilosofiaO problema em questão diz respeito ao contrato que funda e legitima o Estado em Thomas Hobbes. Tendo como escopo questionar a possibilidade e/ou impossibilidade de nulidade do contrato social e assim verificar as implicações disto para o conceito de soberania hobbesiana. A leitura que impera na tradição de estudiosos da obra política de Hobbes, em especial do Leviathan, é a de um Estado no qual a soberania é absoluta e irrevogável. A interpretação do contrato firmado entre e, somente, entre os homens, deixando, portanto, o soberano de fora, ofereceria legitimidade a este para agir de forma absoluta e obrigaria ao súdito a obedecer de forma irrestrita. A hipótese que se busca sustentar remete à possibilidade de rompimento, desobediência e mais centralmente da nulidade contratual a partir do vício e/ou desrespeito de determinadas cláusulas fundamentais do contrato, visto se oporem às condições de validade do contrato social. Se isso puder ser sustentado desse modo, isto é, se Hobbes compartilhar mesmo de uma teoria forte da nulidade contratual e pela razão, como declinado acima, que achamos ser a correta, então, tal formulação implicaria em sua teoria uma reconsideração do conceito de soberania e obediência, haja vista o estabelecimento de certos vínculos fortes que condicionam as possibilidades de exigência, autoridade e poder da soberania. Portanto, concentra-se em encontrar uma explicação e/ou teorização da nulidade do contrato social e da sua consequência para a teoria da soberania e obediência hobbesiana
The Gospel of Thomas and the earliest texts of the synoptic gospels
No full textResearch on the Gospel of Thomas in the last quarter of a
century has made it clear that the origins of this apocryphal gospel
cannot
be
satisfactorily explained from a single point of view. The
author thus suggests that Thomas
be
understood as a growing collection
of sayings which originated in various places and languages, with some
logia being added to the collection after its inception. While this
suggestion is by no means new, there have been few extensive attempts
to study Thomas from such a presupposition.
Due to the need for a control group, only the logia which have
rather close parallels to the Synoptic gospels are investigated. Verbal and textual affinities are noted between these logia and the earliest texts of the Gospels (the Coptic versions, the Diatessaron, the
Old Syriac version, and other early versions and Christian writings).
Various degrees of probable contact between each logion and these
texts are assigned.
The results of this study give some idea as to the place of
origin, the original language, and the approximate date at which certain logia were added to the collection. Those sayings which show a
closer affinity to the Diatessaron, the Old Syriac version, or other
Syrian writings may
be
considered as having been added to the sayings
collection as it circulated in its earliest form, possibly in a Semitic language. Other logia which show no signs of awareness of a
Syrian reading, but which are similar to variants found in the Coptic
versions or other Egyptian texts, may well have originated in Egypt
and been added to the collection at a later stage. These results,
however, must await verification by those who might approach Thomas
from related, but different, perspectives
