The ethical ambivalence of holism: An exploration through the thought of Carl Jung and Gilles Deleuze
No full textThis chapter examines the disputed ethical status of holism through comparing aspects of the work of Carl Jung and Gilles Deleuze as two twentieth-century thinkers who reflected deeply on the concept of wholeness. Using Jung’s psychology as a sophisticated and influential example of holistic thought, the chapter first highlights relevant holistic features of this model, especially the concepts of the self and unus mundus (one world), and traces the cultural and social benefits that are claimed to flow from such a version of holism. It then confronts Jung’s model with Deleuze’s more constructivist way of thinking about wholes and totality in terms of difference, multiplicity, and pure immanence, which aims to ensure that his concept of the whole remains open. The Deleuzian perspective arguably exposes a number of questionable philosophical assumptions and less salubrious ethical implications in Jung’s holism. In order to assess whether this Deleuzian critique is answerable, the chapter focuses attention on the understanding of transcendence and immanence within each thinker’s model. Distinguishing between theism, pantheism, and panentheism, the author proposes that the metaphysical logic of panentheism can provide a framework that is capable of reconciling the two thinkers’ concepts of the whole
Introduction
No full textIn this introduction, the editors concisely discuss some of the epistemological and ethical issues relating to the concept of the whole in Western thought, especially from the beginning of the twentieth century through to the present. They then introduce the specific concepts of the whole found in the work of Jung and Deleuze, flag some of the difficulties in exploring connections between the two thinkers, and note prior work that has either discussed Jung and Deleuze together or has explored their respective thoughts about the whole. Finally, they signal the range of specific issues to be addressed by the current volume through briefly discussing each of the chapters that will follow

Eckle was appointed superintendent in 1953, a position he held until his death in 1962. Construction of the London Prison Farm began in the early 1920s. At that time, the institution was a branch unit of the Ohio Penitentiary. With completion in 1925 of its main building, the London Prison farm was established as a separate correctional institution. It is now known as the London Correctional Institution
The inter-relationships between three proxies of health care need at the small area level: an urban/rural comparison
No full textStudy objective: To examine the relations between geographical variations in mortality, morbidity, and deprivation at the small area level in the south west of England and to assess whether these relations vary between urban and rural areas. Design: A geographically based cross sectional study using 1991 census data on premature limiting long term illness (LLTI) and socioeconomic characteristics, and 1991–1996 data on all cause premature mortality. The interrelations between the three widely used proxies of health care need are examined using correlation coefficients and scatterplots. The distribution of standardised LLTI residuals from a regression analysis on mortality are mapped and compared with the distribution of urban and rural areas. Multilevel Poisson modelling investigates whether customised deprivation profiles improve upon a generic deprivation index in explaining the spatial variation in morbidity and mortality after controlling for age and sex. These relations are examined separately for urban, fringe, and rural areas. Setting: Nine counties in the south west of England. Participants: Those aged between 0–64 who reported having a LLTI in the 1991 census, and those who died during 1991–1996 aged 0–74. Main results: Relations between both health outcomes and generic deprivation indices are stronger in urban than rural areas. The replacement of generic with customised indices is an improvement in all area types, especially for LLTI in rural areas. The relation between mortality and morbidity is stronger in urban than rural areas, with levels of LLTI appearing to be greater in rural areas than would be predicted from mortality rates. Despite the weak direct relations between mortality and morbidity, there are strong relations between the customised deprivation indices computed to predict these outcomes in all area types. Conclusions: The improvement of the customised deprivation indices over the generic indices, and the similarity between the mortality and morbidity customised indices within area types highlights the importance of modelling urban and rural areas separately. Stronger relations between mortality and morbidity have been revealed at the local authority level in previous research providing empirical evidence that the inadequacy of mortality as a proxy for morbidity becomes more marked at lower levels of aggregation, especially in rural areas. Higher levels of LLTI than expected in rural areas may reflect different perceptions or differing patterns of illness. The stronger relations between the three proxies in urban than rural areas suggests that the choice of indicator will have less impact in urban than rural areas and strengthens the argument to develop better measures of health care need in rural areas
Network Governance and the Differentiated Polity: Selected Essays Volume 1
No full textThis book collects in one place for the first time the main articles I wrote on policy networks and governance between 1990 and 2005. The introductory section provides a short biography of my intellectual journey. Part I focuses on policy networks. Part II focuses on governance. The conclusion provides the critical commentary, both replying to my critics and reflecting on theoretical developments since publication. The volume complements my other publications on networks and governance. In effect, it updates my Understanding Governance, which was published twenty years ago. Finally, I have written an afterword to most chapters setting out the context in which it was written, and identifying what has changed empirically. I have reserved my discussion of both the continuing relevance of my argument and the perspicacity of my critics to the last chapter

The Fool Show in Roderick Hudson
No full text Henry James began work on Roderick Hudson in 1874, the same year in which he reviewed a German translation of Turgenev's A King Lear of the Steppe. With this work of his Russian master in mind he appears to have extrapolated significant elements from Shakespeare's play in order to create a similarly ironic tragedy around the issues of irresponsibility, rashness, and lack of trust. Main themes which the play and the novel have in common are: the presence of a fool who mirrors the bad qualities just mentioned, and the father-figure's suspicion and victimization of the innocents in his charge. </jats:p
Research on synchronicity: status and prospects
No full textThis chapter provides an overview of existing research on the concept of synchronicity, from which some promising directions for research are then highlighted under various headings: conceptual, empirical, historical, theoretical, clinical, and cultural. Jung defined synchronicity in a variety of ways. Concisely, he defined it as "meaningful coincidence as "acausal parallelism" as "an acausal connecting principle" and once, more poetically, as "the 'rupture of time' ". More fully, he defined it as "the simultaneous occurrence of a certain psychic state with one or more external events which appear as meaningful parallels to the momentary subjective state." Jung's work on synchronicity was also inspired by psychical research and especially by the work of Joseph Banks Rhine in the new discipline of parapsychology. These newer or aspiring sciences have provided significant foci within the work of Mansfield, Storm, and Haule
The process of researching animal health and welfare planning
No full text’Minimising medicine use in organic dairy herds through animal health and welfare planning’, ANIPLAN, is a CORE-Organic project which was initiated in June 2007. The main aim of the project is to investigate active and well planned animal health and welfare promotion and disease prevention as a means of minimising medicine use in organic dairy herds. This aim will be met through the development of animal health and welfare planning principles for organic dairy farms under diverse conditions based on an evaluation of current experiences. This also includes application of animal health and welfare assessment across Europe. In order to bring this into practice the project also aims at developing guidelines for communication about animal health and welfare promotion in different settings, for example, as part of existing animal health advisory services or farmer groups such as the Danish Stable School system and the Dutch network programme. The project is divided into the following five work packages, four of which comprise research activities with the other focused on coordination and knowledge transfer, through meetings, workshops and publications.
The content of this set of workshop proceedings reflects the fact that the workshop in Fokhol in Norway was held at a relatively early stage with regard to certain joint activities and methodological development. Training in animal welfare assessment had taken place for the first time in the project a couple of months previous to this workshop, and the results in terms of inter-observer reliability are presented by the organisers of this training workshop, Solveig March, Lisi Gratzer and Jan Brinkmann and their supervisor Christoph Winckler. This forms a good background for a reliable data collection in all countries. A presentation from a newly employed Ph.D. student linked to the ANIPLAN project, Lindsay Kay Whistance, gives insight into the study of defecation behaviour in dairy cattle. Although not directly part of the ANIPLAN studies, the presentation is particularly relevant to the considerations regarding animal welfare in housed and outdoor systems. Gidi Smolders from the Netherlands presented a paper about a Dutch farmer group initiative with a strong element of farmer ownership. Mette Vaarst contributes with a paper on farmer learning and empowerment in groups, with a background of Danish experiences with the so-called ‘Stable Schools’. Two papers by Roderick and Vaarst reflect the workshop discussions about research methodologies and the various contexts and conditions for farmer group work. These two papers demonstrate the complexity of the research requirements when conducting a trans-national and cross-disciplinary research project with many stakeholders
