“An affair of uncommon sense”. William Carpenter e la fisiologia del senso comune
No full textThis essay focuses on William Carpenter (1813-1885), professor of physiology at the University of London and author of an original interpretation of common sense.
Developing Charles Bell’s theory concerning the reflex acts of the brain, Carpenter thought of the ‘original beliefs’ as cases of the reflex act of the nervous system and considered them to be a product of human experience: thus, in the course of an individual’s lifespan, primitive instinctive acts are reinforced
and combined, resulting in complex notions such as causality and the existence of the material world. Refuting the idea that common-sense principles are innate and unchangeable, Carpenter reshaped the notion of common sense: far from being the clever invention of philosophers, common sense was
defined as a product of a process that occurs in the nervous system, much like memory and the association of ideas.
Carpenter’s theory was praised by empiricist philosophers such as John Stuart Mill and William James
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
