Animals and philosophers: Preface to my critics
No full textThe author is here seeking to expose his book Philosophical Animal zoographical persuasion to philosophy, to his own remorseless analysis - and that way defend the book from potential criticism by the others. On the other hand, the author believes that this will open up the space for discussion about the book and themes that book provokes. This discussion is not going to be mere neatly registered response and/or appropriate praise but a contribution inspired by the book, resonating back to it
"Author Meets Critics: Predrag Cicovacki, Author of Gandhi's Footprints, Meets Critics Sanjay Lal and Carlo Filice"
No full textTwo critics respond to Predrag Cicovacki’s book, Gandi’s Footprints. Cicovacki opens the discussion by presenting his motivations for exploring a paradox, that Gandhi’s work is widely revered but not widely emulated. Cicovacki explores a resolution to the paradox by suggesting how Gandhi’s promising visions may be followed without being imitated, especially Gandhi’s insight that we must seek spiritual grounding for life in a materialistic world. Critic Sanjay Lal affirms Cicovacki’s insight but suggests that precisely because Gandhi’s aspirations for spiritual life were profoundly transformative we should take care not to dilute them into our conventional wisdoms. Critic Carlo Filice asks how Gandhi’s commitment to unified reality could be more clearly articulated once a distinction is drawn between spirit and matter, also how Gandhi’s nonviolence could manage to embrace important exceptions. In reply to critics, Cicovacki proposes an approach to Gandhi informed by the insights of Tagore

Get PDFV diplomski nalogi sem obravnavala prekrivanje kot možno obliko varovanja arheoloških najdišč in situ. Na kratko sem predstavila sámo in situ ohranjanje najdišč, natančneje pa sem se posvetila tehniki prekritja. Predstavila sem zahtevane informacije pred odločitvijo o tej vrsti varovanja, pomembnost pogojev okolja (voda, sol, temperatura, redukcijsko-oksidacijski potencial, pH, mikroorganizmi) ter propadanje različnih vrst materialov v različnih pogojih. Iz podatkov že opravljenih raziskav sem izpostavila potrebo po omenjenih informacijah ter njihovo uporabnost v primeru načrtovanja prekritja kot oblike varovanja arheološkega najdišča. Natančneje sem predstavila tri ameriške raziskave. Le-te so se osredotočile na poškodbe arheoloških ostalin zaradi dodatnih obremenitev tal ob prekritju. Posebej sem predstavila diplomsko delo Lidije Avsenik iz Fakultete za gradbeništvo in geodezijo z naslovom Varovanje arheoloških najdišč in situ s prekritjem. Njena raziskava je zaobjela računalniške simulacije deformacij tal in arheoloških najdb ob različnih obremenitvah, brez ali z zaščitnim prekritjem. Kot realni primer posledic obremenitev sem na kratko predstavila tudi primer izkopavanj Njegoševe ceste v Ljubljani. Za primerjavo med bolj obremenjenimi deli najdišča pod cesto in manj obremenjenimi deli najdišča pod pločnikom služijo plasti in predvsem poškodovanost skeletov. V zaključkih sem podala osnovne ugotovitve vseh opravljenih raziskav. Izstopa predvsem dejstvo, da gre za kompleksno obliko varovanja arheoloških najdišč in situ, katerega posledice zaradi velikega števila spremenljivk še niso povsem jasne. Tako diplomsko delo ne dopušča jasnih odgovorov in za zadovoljivo oceno o primernosti tehnike so potrebne nadaljnje namenske raziskave posledic uporabe prekritja kot dolgotrajne oblike varovanja arheoloških ostalin.In my thesis I discussed intentional site burial as a mean of archaeological sites in situ protection. I shortly introduced general in situ protection of archaeological sites specifically focusing on intentional site burials. I presented information required before deciding on such type of protection, the importance of environmental conditions (water, salt, temperature, redox potential, pH and microorganisms) and degradation of various materials under different conditions. Through data gained from already conducted research I exposed the need for mentioned collected data and its usefulness in case of embankment planning for archaeological sites in situ protection. I also presented three research projects from the United States of America. All three focus on the damage caused to archaeological remains due to the additional load of the ground. I also presented Lidija Avsenik thesis Protection of Archaeological Sites by Intentional Burial. Her research included computer simulations of ground and archaeological finds deformations caused by different loads with or without protective embankment. As a real example of additional load effects on the archaeological remains I briefly presented excavations on Njegoševa cesta in Ljubljana. For comparison between damage on archaeological remains caused by the weight-load below the road and the weight-load below the pavement I used archaeological feature characteristics and bone damage. In the conclusions I stated general findings of presented studies. Above all stands the fact that this is a very complex form of in situ archaeological site protection and that the consequences of intentional burial of the archaeological site are due to the large number of variables not yet completely clear. That is why my study does not offer conclusive answers as further research of burial as a long term in situ archaeological site protection is required
