Der erkenntnistheoretische Ansatz von Meiers Vernunftlehre und sein Einfluß auf Kant
No full textDie von Günter Schenk für den Halleschen Verlag 1997 vorgelegte Edition von Georg Friedrich Meiers Vernunftlehre hat ein ganz wichtiges Desideratum der Forschung erfüllt. Denn trotz einer stets wachsenden Meierliteratur war es nicht möglich, auf einen Nachdruck von Meiers Hauptwerk bezug zu nehmen. Schenks Edition enthält nicht nur eine Transkription des Texts (mit der originalen Seitenzählung am Rande und Beiseitelegung der allerdings nicht gerade zahlreichen Satzfehler), sondern auch Schenks eigene Erläuterungen, den Text der zeitgenössischen Besprechungen, die Gesamtheit der Bemerkungen Lamberts zur Vernunftlehre sowie eine Auswahl von Kants Reflexionen über die Logik. Last but not least stellt sie eine biographische Skizze sowie Sachregister für die im Text enthaltenen deutschen, lateinischen und griechischen Termini zur Verfügung. Meiers beide im selben Jahr 1752 entstandene Logikbücher, die Vernunftlehre und der Auszug aus der Vernunftlehre, bieten im Einklang mit den akademischen Gepflogenheiten des 18. Jahrhunderts zugleich und zuvor eine Einleitung in die gesamte Philosophie an. Denn ihr systematisches Anliegen besteht nicht ausschließlich in der Ausarbeitung der formalen Aspekte der Logik, sondern vielmehr in der Herausstellung jener grundlegenden Elemente des Denkens und der Sprache, die das menschliche Verstehen möglich machen. Die Vernunftlehre — so Meiers eindrucksvolle Definition — sei „der Plan der Wirksamkeit der Vernunft“ (Vernunftlehre, § 5, Schenk 17). Der wohl wichtigste Unterschied zwischen der Vernunftlehre und ihrem Auszug, besteht darin, daß jene nur deutsche, dieser dagegen auch viele lateinische Termini enthält. Meiers lateinischer Wortschatz ist auch deswegen interessant, weil seine Erschließung dazu dient, Meiers Einfluß auf Kant sichtbar zu machen. Denn zahlreiche „‚undeutsche Ausdrücke‘ der Kritik der reinen Vernunft, an denen die Zeitgenossen Anstoß genommen haben — Amphibolie, Analytik, Dialektik, These, Antithese, Doktrin, Episyllogismus, tumultuarisch usw. — braucht man nicht an abgelegener Stelle zu suchen. Sie finden sich bereits in eben jenem Logikhandbuch, das Kant mehr als vierzig Jahre lang mit größter Regelmäßigkeit benutzt hat“ (Hinske/Schay 1986, XII). Es überrascht also nicht, daß Kants eigene logische Schriften sowie übrigens die Kritik der reinen Vernunft von Meier beeinflußt werden (Hinske 1998, 28f., 33f., 56-59, 111f., 123-28; Vásquez-Lobeiras 2001)
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
Optimal control problems of nonlocal interaction equations
Full text linkIn the present work we deal with the existence of solutions for optimal control problems associated to transport equations. The behaviour of a population of individuals will be influenced by the presence of a population of control agents whose role is to lead the dynamics of the individuals towards a specific goal. The dynamics of the population of individuals is described by a suitable nonlocal transport equation, while the role of the population of agents is designed by the optimal control problem. This model has been first studied in [12] for a class of continuous nonlocal potentials, while in the present project we consider the case of mildly singular potentials in a gradient flow formulation of the target transport equation
