Hegel and the Present of Art’s Past Character
No full textThis book reclaims Hegel’s notion of the “end of art”—or, more precisely, of “art’s past character”—not just as a piece of the history of philosophy but as a living critical and interpretive methodology. It addresses the presence of the past character of art in both Hegel and contemporary philosophy and aesthetics.
The book’s innovative contribution lies in unifying the Hegelian thesis with discussions of contemporary art and philosophy. The author not only offers a Hegelian exegesis but also applies the idea of the past character of art to themes that are related to both Hegel’s philosophy, such as the French Revolution and the modern state, Kantian aesthetics, and religion and the sacred space disclosed for art, and going beyond Hegel, such as Celan's poetry, Gramsci's criticism of Croce, human rights, and even the grunge rock band Pearl Jam. Conversely, such non-Hegelian explorations will help enlighten what may look like a specific thread of Hegel’s aesthetics, but can be used to shed light on some core motives of his philosophy. The author’s interpretation of art’s past character reclaims the full value, attractiveness, and philosophical soundness of Hegel’s thesis, while rejecting its interpretation in terms of a complete dissolution of the aesthetic element into the philosophical one.
Hegel and the Present of Art’s Past Character will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working on Hegel, philosophy of art and aesthetics, history of philosophy, political philosophy, and art theory
Exploring evolution in the context of molecular genetics and ecology: a dual perspective
No full textAbstract The teaching of evolution stands as a cornerstone in the realm of biological sciences, yet how best to frame and teach the complex web of concepts that are a part of evolutionary theory is still under debate. To address this issue, we propose two sequences for teaching the evolution ideas and concepts that are included in the Israeli curriculum for upper secondary school, starting from either the foundational principles of molecular genetics or the intricate dynamics of ecology or integrating both. This approach involves considering the strengths of both molecular genetics and ecology as frameworks for understanding evolution, recognizing that each perspective offers valuable insights that can enrich students' understanding of the topic. Molecular genetics is the area of evolutionary theory that relies on terms such as genes, alleles, and mutations. Ecology offers a broader, more holistic view of evolution and includes the dynamic interplay between organisms and their environment. The molecular genetics sequence focuses on the mechanism of evolution and the ecology sequence focuses on the external factors that affect the mechanism. This dual approach creates options for teachers; they can take into consideration each path’s advantages and use the characteristics of their classes to choose one of the suggested perspectives or integrate both perspectives to teach evolution

In this paper approaches will be explained that can be used to help address these issues, with a focus on some of the solutions that the author has been involved in developing in HP Labs that are currently being used, rolled out or are the subjects of further research
A problem in the Theory of Groups and a question related to Fibonacci-Like sequences
No full text2013 - 2014This thesis is composed of four chapters, two of which, Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, contain original results. In Chapter 1 we recall some basic notions and establish some of the notation and terminology which will be used in the sequel. For example, we recall some useful results about the class X of groups which are isomorphic to
their non-abelian subgroups. Every group of this class is in_nite and 2-generated. This class of groups has been studied by H. Smith and J. Wiegold( [34]). They proved that every insoluble X-group is centre- by-simple and they gave a complete characterization of soluble X-groups. Then we recall some results about _nitely generated groups which are isomorphic to their non-trivial normal subgroups. In particular, we will use the result proved by J.C. Lennox, H. Smith and J. Wiegold in [17], for which if G is a _nitely generated in_nite group that is isomorphic to all its non-trivial normal subgroups and which contains a proper normal subgroup of _nite index, then G ' Z...

Entropy and scintillation analysis of acoustical beam propagation through ocean internal waves
No full textAuthor Posting. © Acoustical Society of America, 2005. This article is posted here by permission of Acoustical Society of America for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 117 (2005): 1611-1623, doi:10.1121/1.1854571.Parabolic equation numerical simulations of waveguide acoustical beam propagation in an ocean of Garrett–Munk internal waves are used to examine the range evolution of beam properties such as beamwidth (both spectral and spatial), Shannon entropy, and scintillation index, as a function of beam angle. Simulations are carried out at 250- and 125-Hz acoustic frequencies. The ray trajectories associated with these beams are predominantly chaotic or exponentially sensitive to initial conditions and/or medium perturbations. At long range near saturation, the finite-frequency beams show a constant rate of change of Shannon entropy with range, independent of acoustic frequency. This full-wave rate of entropy is of the same order of magnitude as the average rate of entropy for the ray trajectories associated with this beam. Finite-range Lyapunov exponents provide the estimates of ray entropy rate or Kolmogorov–Siani entropy. The correspondence between full-wave and ray entropies suggests a full-wave manifestation of ray chaos, but only once statistical saturation is obtained. In spite of this correspondence, the simulated acoustical beams expand diffusively not exponentially (or explosively)
