Le libre arbitre dans la pensée de R. Abraham bar Yehudah (élève de Hasdaï Crescas)
Full text linkThe aim of this article is to analyze the opinion of R. Abraham bar Yehudah (Crete and the Crown of Aragon in the second half of the 14th century) on the question of free will. The first part of the article describes how in the beginning of his book (Even Shetiyyah, ‘Foundation Stone’), R. Abraham presents a position close to the deterministic thought of his well known teacher Hasdai Crescas, thus proving that in the third quarter of the 14th century there already were deterministic views in the school of the later. The second part of the article demonstrates that in the continuation of this book R. Abraham presents a different opinion closer to the common non-deterministic position of the majority of Jewish medieval philosophers. The article concludes, explaining the contradiction, that in his book R. Abraham bar Yehuda brings in two different opinions from different sources without trying to build an accord between them.El libre arbitrio en el pensamiento de R. Abraham bar Yehudá (discípulo de Ḥasday Crescas).
Análisis del pensamiento de R. Abraham bar Yehudá (Creta y Corona de Aragón, segunda mitad del siglo XIV) respecto del libre arbitrio. La primera parte del artículo muestra cómo al inicio de su libro (Eben Šetiyyá, ‘Piedra fundamental’) R. Abraham presenta una posición cercana a la opinión determinista de su maestro Ḥasday Crescas, poniendo de relieve que ya en el tercer cuarto del siglo XIV se sostenían ideas deterministas en la escuela de Crescas. La segunda parte del artículo muestra cómo en la continuación de su obra, R. Abraham presenta una opinión diferente, más cercana a la posición no-determinista común a la mayoría de los filósofos judíos medievales. El artículo concluye, explicando la contradicción del autor derivada de incluir en su obra dos opiniones diferentes tomadas de fuentes diversas, sin intentar elaborar un acuerdo entre ellas
R. Abraham Isaac Kook
No full textR. Abraham Isaac Kook (1865–1935) was Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi of Palestine before the creation of the state of the Israel and an immensely influential figure in religious Zionism. This chapter examines his correspondence with another rabbi regarding war, in which R. Kook argues that legitimate authority for waging war rests with any Jewish government that rules with the consent of the community. He justifies conscription on the premise that laws of war are different from those of everyday Halakhah; therefore a government can force an individual to risk his life in war for the sake of the nation, though compelling an individual to endanger himself to save others from harm is not normally allowed. In his discussion of discretionary war, R. Kook reveals an antipathy to war. R. Kook’s treatment of war in Halakhah is brief, but his positions had a big impact on later rabbis in religious Zionism.</p
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
Un sefer diqdûg atribuido a R. Abraham Ibn 'Ezra'
Full text link[ES] En la Real Biblioteca de El Escorial existe un manuscrito (G-11-5) que contiene
una obra gramatical atribuida a R. Abraham ibn 'Ezra' (ea. 1092-1167). La obra
desarrolla la morfología del verbo hebreo: generalidades, verbos sanos y verbos
defectivos. El autor de este articulo examina algunos puntos característicos de
Sefer Diqdüq y los compara con sus paralelos en obras que pextenecen con seguridad
a Abraham ibn 'Ezra', llegando a la conclusión de que no se puede atribuir a Ibn
'Ezra' el mencionado Sefer Diqdüq. Para ilustración del lector se presentan alguna
páginas del manuscrito todavía inédito.[EN] The manuscript G-114 kept in the Royal Library of El Escorial contains a
grammatical work attributed to Abraham ibn 'Ezra' (cn. 1092-1167). It deals with the
morphology of the Hebrew verb: general statements and characteristics of sound and
defective verbs. The author of tbis article analyscs some specific features of that Sefer
Diqdüq in comparison with their parallcls in other works soundly attributed to Ibn
<Ezra'. He comes to the conclusion that the content of the mentioned manuscript
still unpublished, cannot be Ibn 'Ezra"s work. Some illustrative pages are reproduced.Peer reviewe
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
