Kant and Gerard on imagination
No full textAlexander Gerard, a schottish philosopher, is nowadays almost
forgotten, but at the time of Kant’s philosophical development he was a very
popular author and his works were translated to german. Kant mentioned Gerard
sometimes in his lectures on anthropology, particularly about genius and
imagination. A near analysis and comparing of their conception of genius and
imagination shows a significant influence of Gerard on Kant. Purpose of this
paper is to analyse this influence in the particular case of imagination and active
imagination.O filósofo escocês Alexander Gerard foi quase que inteiramente
esquecido pela história da filosofia. Mas na época em que Kant estava
desenvolvendo sua filosofia crítica, particularmente nos anos 1770, Gerard era
um autor bastante popular, tendo seus principais escritos traduzidos inclusive
para o alemão. Kant o menciona algumas vezes nas lições sobre antropologia,
permitindo assim documentar sua leitura. Este artigo procura mostrar a
influência de Gerard sobre Kant na concepção de uma imaginação ativa, peça
central da filosofia transcendental kantiana
PlaqOmics Leducq Fondation Trans-Atlantic Network: Defining the Roles of Smooth Muscle Cells and Other Extracellular Matrix-Producing Cells in Late-Stage Atherosclerotic Plaque Pathogenesis
No full textThromboembolic events secondary to rupture or erosion of advanced atherosclerotic plaques represent the leading cause of death worldwide. However, the mechanisms that regulate plaque stability are poorly understood. Human pathology studies show that lesions containing a high ratio of ACTA2+ (SM alpha-actin) to CD68+ (cluster of differentiation 68) cells and a thicker ECM (extracellular matrix)-rich fibrous cap are more stable, but there are major ambiguities regarding the origins and functions of ACTA2+ cells within lesions, as well as the mechanisms that regulate their investment and retention in the protective fibrous cap. The overall hypothesis of our Leducq Fondation PlaqOmics Transatlantic Network is that detrimental reprogramming of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and other ACTA2+ fibrous cap cells destabilizes atherosclerotic plaques and that there are critical genetic determinants of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk that act, in part, by impacting phenotypic transitions of fibrous cap cells. Our ultimate goals are to (1) define distinct SMC phenotypes within human lesions and how these change as a function of lesion severity and vulnerability for rupture or erosion and (2) to use complementary human and mouse studies to determine mechanisms by which these cells impact lesion pathogenesis and to identify novel therapeutic targets that promote beneficial (plaque stabilizing) changes in the phenotype of SMC and other ECM-producing lesion cells
