Il corpo, la luce e l'insieme dei due. Una proposta esegetica di Plotino, enn. I 1 [53], 6, 14-7, 6
No full textIn enn. I 1 [53], 6, 14–7, 6, Plotinus describes the coming to be of the living being capable of feeling and experiencing passions, and identifies its constitution in the connection of three factors: (a) a transcendent soul; (b) „something like light” which proceeds from the transcendent soul; (c) a body. It is the συναμφότερον that feels – he states – „because such a soul [i.e. the transcendent soul], starting from such a body and from something like a light given by it, produces the nature of the living as something else [...]”. The nature of the body mentioned here, however, appears particularly problematic: is it a body which already possesses an elementary form of life received by the soul of the cosmos, as a widespread interpretation would have it, or is it made alive when the soul gives its light to it?
Through an analysis of the passage in the light of the similar text of VI 4 [22], 15, 8–18, the second option is proposed here: before being illuminated by „something like light”, this body has only received the formal reasons that proceed from the soul of the cosmos and consequently has a morphological structure. Although it cannot be said to be lifeless like a piece of wood, which is „only body”, it is not endowed with multiple movements and does not perform vital functions. It has an „aptitude” to receive life and it is only when the soul gives its light to it that it becomes alive, fulfills the primary functions to keep itself alive, and experiences passions and basic sensations
COLORO CHE GUARDANO E PROVANO UN TURBAMENTO. MEMORIA DEGLI INTELLIGIBILI E PERCORSO ANAGOGICO SECONDO PLOTINO, TRATTATO 33 [II 9] 16
No full textThe study Those Who Gaze and Are Affected. The Memory of Intelligibles and the Anagogic Process According to Plotinus, Treatise 33 [II 9] 16 addresses the question of the relation between sense perception and the memory of intelligibles in the experience of beauty as described by Plotinus in treatise 33 [Enn. II 9] 16. 39-56. Through an analysis of this passage, the author compares the process of recollection to that of the ascension of the soul who, even in her embodied life, can rise up to the intelligibles. This process may find a starting point in sense perception. However, sense perception can only exercise this function if it approaches sensible objects not in isolation, but in relation to the intelligible. When the soul grasps the presence of the intelligible in that which it perceives, it no longer sees the latter as merely a sensible object, but rather as an imitation of the intelligible. The soul thus establishes a link between the two levels: it is affected, experiences pleasure, and rises up to the intelligible.
Reminiscence is therefore a complex process. It may be regarded as a circuit comprising three fundamental aspects: a) turning towards sensible objects; b) acknowledging sensible objects as imitations and, on account of the affection this engenders, transcending them; c) rising up to the contemplation of the intelligible. These three aspects do not correspond to three successive moments, but rather to a single, simultaneous movement.
What the recollection of intelligibles implies, then, is not the complete rejection of the empirical perspective, but its transcendence through an affection that leads the soul to abandon its ordinary view of the world and recover the intelligibles buried within her

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

No full textPragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe
