Perceptual belongingness and spatial propagation of lightness contrast
No full textAgostini and Proffitt (1993) showed that perceptual belongingness can cause simultaneous lightness contrast (SLC) to be seen in configurations where the inducing elements are not adjacent to the target. In some observations, in Agostini and Proffitt-type configurations, we showed that belongingness determines SLC also when the numbers of inducing elements is drastically reduced, and that the induction effect spatially propagates on all the unified elements
Reversing the reversed contrast
No full textGalmonte and Agostini (1998 Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 39(4), S158),
Agostini and Galmonte (2002 Psychological Science, 13, 89–93), Bressan (2001 Perception, 30, 1031–
1046), and Gilchrist and Annan (2002 Perception, 31, 141–150) reported three different lightness
contrast configurations in which grouping factors make a gray target totally surrounded by black
appear darker than an equal gray target surrounded by white, reversing the classical contrast effect.
In this paper we demonstrate that the three configurations known as ‘reversed contrast’ are based on
different mechanisms. Sixteen participants judged the lightness of the gray targets of the original and
modified versions of the three configurations. Our results highlight that the Agostini and Galmonte
effect is reversed when the global grouping factors are removed, while in a number of variations of
Bressan’s and Gilchrist and Annan’s displays the direction of the effect does not change, even in
absence of global grouping factors. Our results indicate that the factors determining the Agostini and
Galmonte effect are different from those acting on the other two configurations, in which the lightness
change is also due to factors other than belongingness

The aim of the present contribution is to provide a catalog of this lot and an edition of the so far unpublished cuneiform texts. In the appendix, Alessio Agostini added the edition of the Palmyrene inscription, which would have otherwise gone beyond the capabilities of the present author

Note sul contributo di Jean-Luc Marion intorno al concetto di philosophia prima fra Descartes e la Scolastica
Riassunto: Questo articolo ha per oggetto l’indagine che Jean-Luc Marion ha consacrato nei suoi numerosi scritti e, in particolare, in Sur le prisme métaphysique de Descartes (1986), alla concezione cartesiana della metafisica in rapporto alla scolastica. Esso si propone di mostrare che le ricerche di Marion costituiscono uno dei maggiori contributi della letteratura critica cartesiana allo studio dei rapporti fra Descartes e la Scolastica. In particolare, esso discute e riconsidera la tesi di Marion secondo cui la scelta, da parte di Descartes, del termine di philosophia prima per intitolare le sue Meditationes sarebbe operata a detrimento del termine di metaphysica.
Parole chiave: Cartesio; Jean-Luc Marion; Scolastica; Metaphysica; Philosophia prima.

Notes on Jean-Luc Marion’s contribution on the study of the notion of prima philosophia in Descartes and the scholasticism.
Abstract: This article addresses the enquiry devoted by Jean-Luc Marion in his many works and, in particular, in Sur le prisme métaphysique de Descartes (1986), to Descartes’s conception of Metaphysics considered in connection to scholasticism. The aim is to demonstrate that Marion’s researches constitue in Cartesian scholarship one of the main contributions to the study of the relationships between Descartes and Scholasticism. At the same time, the article discusses and reconsiders Marion’s claim that Descartes’s choice of the term philosophia prima for the title if his Meditationes would go to the detriment of the term metaphysica.
Keywords: Descartes; Jean-Luc Marion; scholasticism; Metaphysica; Philosophia prima.
