Professionals from the National Hockey League (NHL) became eligible to participate beginning with the 1998 Winter Olympics inNagano, Japan. V CEREMONIES The Olymp...

• is the cultural difference a barrier between individuals.

  England and the USA are the major English-speaking countries and they both have a diverse population in terms of origins one because it had slavery and the other for its colonial heritage that's why in this dossier I ask myself the question of the cultural difference being or not a barrier between individuals. I'm going to show you in the first place that these barriers aren't as restrictive as back in the day, it was quite difficult to live with the limit established by those barriers and...

  and mobility. What are we to make of this argument? It may be true that a body must have some shape or other,but any particular shape can surely be lost, as a piece of wax may cease to be cubical and become spherical. WhatLocke says of the secondary qualities might be said also of some of the primary qualities. Motion is a primaryquality, but a body may be motionless. It is only if we think of motion and rest as a pair of possible values on asingle axis of ‘mobility' that we can say that h...

• Baumgardt, David

  In his unpublished History of Modern Ethics Baumgardt essayed a synoptic view of the ethical theories of the past two hundred and fifty years. He was especially drawn to the utilitarianism of Bentham , which he came to know well in England. His book Bentham and the Ethics of Today (1952) included hitherto unpublished writings of Bentham, and Bentham's utilitarianism provided the point of departure for his own ethical hedonism. Seeking to rehabilitate a philosophical tradition stigmati...

This lies at the centre of the long-lasting debate about the effectof tragedy (see Tragedy ).

Yet all these positions are held and argued about with...

• Boehme, Jakob

  Manichean dualism of light and darkness, good and evil, love and hatred, grace and wrath. For Boehme, nature is the image of God; he thus formulated the identity of God with nature half a century before Spinoza (§2) . He also framed a theory of seven natural properties. In a letter dating from 11 November 1623, which furnishes a clear compendium of his metaphysics, Boehme defines these seven properties as desire, sensation, anxiety, fire, light, sound and being. The Trinity arises from the unfa...

Some versions appeal, instead, to considerations about thedependence of relevant evidence on sensory experience. 3 Foundationalism about empirical warrant The leading alternative to coherentism is foundationalism about empirical justification: empirical justification has atwo-tier structure in that some instances of such justification are non-inferential, or foundational, and all otherinstances of such justification are inferential,...

  important economic area. The gradual expansion of markets and the ever growing production of agricultural products led to innovation of new technologies, resulting in an increase in farm production. America's inventiveness is closely linked to the offshoot of the expansion westward in that regard. But more generally Turner wants to stress the importance of the government in securing land and maintaining law and order at the frontier. New institutions were created, such as the Bureau o...

• Chillingworth, William

  (Chillingworth 1638: vi.56 ). Chillingworth saw Knott 's position as resting on two fundamental confusions - that of infallibility with authority, and of infallibility with certainty. Not all certainties are the same - indeed two quite separate kinds need to be distinguished. Metaphysical certainty belongs to direct revelations from God, to self-evident propositions and their logical consequences, and to the direct testimony of the senses. Faith cannot have this kind of certainty - if it could...

• Lightning.

  In the U.S. about 100 persons are killed and many injured by lightning each year, more than by tornadoes or hurricanes. Forty percent of all farm fires and 75,000forest fires a year are started by lightning. Lightning is not all bad, however. The soil is enriched with nitrogen that is released from the atmosphere by lightning andcarried to the ground by raindrops. Some scientists believe that lightning may have been a key element in the origin of life on earth, creating from simple elementscompl...

• "Aux vainqueurs la spoliation" - Critique (Anglais)

  Decided by the Allied troops (so de facto by the World War I victors) without consulting Germany, it has heavy consequences on the shaping of a new post-war Europe. Indeed, its article 231 4 held Germany accountable for the war and the country was consequently forced to pay for the reparations caused by the conflict. On top of that, Germany saw its influence limited while its territory was partitioned: in 1914, Germany had...

• Anarchism

  view that people ought to prefer their own self-interest to any other principle of conduct, was first developed in ananarchist direction by the Young Hegelian Stirner . Extending Feuerbach's argument against religion to strike at all notions of ‘the sacred', Stirner ( 1845 ) argues that people's potential for self-realization is impeded by the very idea of ethical obligation. Among the various ‘spooks' that restrict our lives at present, the state, with its demand forobedience, is one of the mo...

• Capreolus, Johannes

  individual substance in the intellectual order. An individual substance does not derive the characteristics of its completeness (autonomy and incommunicability) so much from its essence as from its act of existence. The act of existence, which is the formal constituent not only of the essence but of the substance as such, must also be the formal constituent of the person. Accordingly, ontological personhood is to be distinguished from the instantiated intellectual nature in the same manner as th...

• Conceptual analysis

  Kant's important idea that conceptual truths can be either analytic a priori or synthetic a priori is effectively erased by Gottlob Frege in his Foundations of Arithmetic (1884). Frege's overriding philosophical aim is to put mathematical proof on a firm footing by reducing the truths of arithmetic to analytic truths of logic. In view of this, the proper goal of an analysis is the production of non-circular, explanatory, yet meaning-preserving general definitions of fundamental concepts -...

Teachers had no way of knowing which of the “slow” students had true learning problems and which simply had behavioral problems or poor prior education.In 1904 the French Ministry of Public Instruction asked Binet and others to develop a method to objectively identify children who would have difficulty with formaleducation. Objectivity was important so that conclusions about a child’s potential for learning would not be influenced by any biases of the examiner. The governmenthoped tha...

• Boxing.

  C Offensive Techniques To be effective, boxers must have an assortment of punches that are coordinated with their footwork. Less powerful punches often serve the important role of settingup the fighter’s chief “weapons,” as boxing analysts sometimes call a boxer’s main offensive skills. C1 Feinting Moving the hands or head to confuse an opponent is called feinting. A smart boxer will first test the opponent by trying different feints, noting the reaction to each onebefore deciding which will b...

• Elementary Particles I INTRODUCTION Structure of Matter Modern physics has revealed successively deeper layers of structure in ordinary matter.

  The most fundamental particles that make up matter fall into the fermion category. These fermions cannot be split into anything smaller. The particles that carry theforces acting on matter and antimatter are bosons called force carriers. Force carriers are also fundamental particles, so they cannot be split into anything smaller.These bosons carry the four basic forces in the universe: the electromagnetic, the gravitational, the strong (force that holds the nuclei of atoms together), and the wea...

Capital punishment advocates note that because the death penalty is reserved for the most aggravated murders, the deterrent effect of capitalpunishment on such crimes may not be apparent in data on homicide rates in general.

They maintain that in the absence of conclusive proof that the threat ofexecuti...
