Reason, Justification, and Contractualism – Themes from Scanlon
No full textThis book collects major original essays developed from lectures given at the award of the Lauener Prize 2016 to T. M. Scanlon for his outstanding oeuvre in Analytical philosophy. In "Contractualism and Justification," Scanlon identifies some difficulties in his theory and explores possible ways to deal with them. In "Improving Scanlon's Contractualism," D. Parfit recommends revisions and extensions of Scanlon's theory, while R. Forst suggests in "Justification Fundamentalism" that Scanlon may want to replace reason with justification as his foundational concept. T. Nagel raises fundamental questions concerning "Moral Reality and Moral Progress," and S. Mantel offers in "On How to Explain Rational Motivation" a critical discussion of Scanlon's cognitivist theory of motivation. Z. Stemplowska does the same for Scanlon's conception of responsibility in "Substantive Responsibility and the Causal Thesis," and S. Olsaretti suggests in "Equality of Opportunity and Justified Inequalities" an alternative to Scanlon's arguments against economic inequalities. All contributors receive extensive replies by Scanlon. For anyone interested in Scanlon's seminal work in moral and political philosophy, the present volume is utterly indispensable

Delay in diabetic retinopathy screening increases the rate of detection of referable diabetic retinopathy.
No full textAIMS: To assess whether there is a relationship between delay in retinopathy screening after diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and level of retinopathy detected. METHODS: Patients were referred from 88 primary care practices to an English National Health Service diabetic eye screening programme. Data for screened patients were extracted from the primary care databases using semi-automated data collection algorithms supplemented by validation processes. The programme uses two-field mydriatic digital photographs graded by a quality assured team. RESULTS: Data were available for 8183 screened patients with diabetes newly diagnosed in 2005, 2006 or 2007. Only 163 with type 1 diabetes were identified and were insufficient for analysis. Data were available for 8020 with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Of these, 3569 were screened within 6 months, 2361 between 6 and 11 months, 1058 between 12 and 17 months, 366 between 18 and 23 months, 428 between 24 and 35 months, and 238 at 3 years or more after diagnosis. There were 5416 (67.5%) graded with no retinopathy, 1629 (20.3%) with background retinopathy in one eye, 753 (9.4%) with background retinopathy in both eyes and 222 (2.8%) had referable diabetic retinopathy. There was a significant trend (P = 0.0004) relating time from diagnosis to screening detecting worsening retinopathy. Of those screened within 6 months of diagnosis, 2.3% had referable retinopathy and, 3 years or more after diagnosis, 4.2% had referable retinopathy. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of detection of referable diabetic retinopathy is elevated in those who were not screened promptly after diagnosis of type 2 diabetes

Solution Spaces for Linear Equations in Valued D-Fields
No full textIn his 1997 thesis, Thomas Scanlon developed the model theory of a class of valued fields, which allow for the consideration of a difference field and a related differential field in the same structure. In this theory, fields are endowed with a derivative like operator D, interacting strongly with a valuation. The operator specializes to a derivative in the residue field, but in the valued field is interdefinable with a nontrivial automorphism. The theory was shown to have good model theoretic properties, most notably quantifier elimination.We look at solutions to linear D-equations in these fields, with the goal of using the residue differential field to better understand the behavior of the difference field solutions. First, we show that the dimension of a maximal solution space to such an equation as a vector space over the constants is completely determined by the structure induced on the residue field. We then find reasonable conditions on the base field sufficient to assure uniqueness for the field extension generated by these solutions. Finally, we provide examples of automorphism groups in the theory; in particular, we show that nonlinear relations in the residue field may not lift to the valued field
