  desires; rather, it indicates that the self desires only as the Other and thus cannot recognize the object of its desire. The self is, as it were, a detour in the trajectory of the desire of the Other. Lacan's theory of desire arrivesat a conundrum: how can we understand the fact that subjects desire very specific objects? He invented the term'object a' (where the 'a' stands for autre , 'other') in response to this question. Such objects are distinguished by the fact that 'they have no spe...

• Beauty

  preference as a socio-psychological phenomenon and as a variably rational or nonrational part of life. Generally, subjectivists in aesthetics, like those in ethics, retain the usual value terms but reinterpret them as avowing, expressing or soliciting preferences. In contrast, aesthetic realists seek to identify the property or state of affairs that beauty consists in and to explain how it can be known. Many issues are common to aesthetic realism and subjectivism. For instance: (1) What is the r...

  channels through which we see colours and hear sounds. The objects of one sense cannot be perceived withanother: we cannot hear colours or see sounds. But in that case, the thought that a sound and a colour are notthe same as each other, but two different things, cannot be the product of either sight or hearing. Theaetetus hasto concede that there are no organs for perceiving sameness and difference or unity and multiplicity; the mind itselfcontemplates the common terms which apply to eve...

• Animal language and thought

  this. Although Malcolm ( 1972-3 ) does not identify thought with language, he claims that the relationship is ‘so close that it is really senseless to conjecture that people may not have thoughts, and also really senseless to conjecture that animals may have thoughts'. However, we know that animals think because ‘in real life we commonly employ the verb "think" in respect to animals'. Clearly Malcolm believes that animal thinking does not involve havingthoughts, but says very little...

  death ; Reproduction and ethics ). Since medical ethics has been perhaps the major growth area of applied ethics, this broader usage of the term 'bioethics' has become dominant in the Anglo-American world (see Medical ethics ). More broadly still, and in keeping with V.R. Potter 's introduction of the term ( 1971 ), 'bioethics' refers to the moral, social and political problems that arise from biology and the life sciences generally and that involve, directly or indirectly, human wellbein...

  The prospect of exploring the island exhilarates the boys, who feel a bond forming among them as they play together in the jungle. From the peak, they can see that they are on an island with no signs of civilization. The view is stunning, and Ralph feels as though they have discovered their own land. As they travel back toward the beach, they find a wild pig caught in a tangle of vines. Jack, the newly appointed hunter, draws his knife and steps in to kill it, but hesitates, unable to...

Slopes as low as 2 cm/km (1 in/mi) can be found in rivers close to the ocean. In most rivers there...

• Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Aesthetic attitude

  there are some features that everyone with normal eyes, ears and intelligence perceives - shape or loudness, forexample. But there are also features that are perceived only by people with a special sensitivity - balance or unity,for example. These latter people are the ones who have taste. If a vase is gracefully curved, either one sees thegracefulness or one does not. Sibley believes that this explains why aesthetic concepts are not condition-governed.That is, no list of non-aesthetic features...

The procedure virtually guarantees that the child will have the traits implanted in the embryo. Trait selection can be a service, it sounds like a business, a transaction, a deal.

  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...

• locke-montesquieu

  I shall leave the question of Montesquieu's influence for another day. My purpose here is to give an account of the argument for religious toleration in the Persian Letters . But before I celebrate the virtues of Montesquieu, I’m afraid I have a few unpleasant things to say about Locke, whose treatment of the subject seems to me to be generally overrated. It’s a common observation that Locke's treatment of toleration is unhappily limited. His subject is "mutual toleration among Christ...

• Lead - chemistry.

  compounds are considered serious hazards for children. Children are especially at hazard from lead, even at levels once thought safe. Lead can reduce intelligence,delay motor development, impair memory, and cause hearing problems and troubles in balance. In adults, one lead hazard at levels once thought safe is that ofincreased blood pressure. Present-day treatment of lead poisoning includes the administration of calcium disodium ethylenediaminetetraacidic acid, or EDTA, a chelatingagent; lead i...

• Art criticism

  reason for praising you, it is reason for praising anyone who does that action in those circumstances. Some thinkers(Stuart Hampshire ( 1954 ), for example) have argued that reasoning in criticism is impossible because of the impossibility of this sort of generality in that context. Thus, it is claimed, the fact that a painting has a patch ofcolour in a certain position may be the explanation for its admirable compositional features. But the existence ofthat patch in that location cannot...

  organizations as the League of Nations in 1920 and the United Nations in 1945, and détente (suggested for scaling down the cold war). See Arms Control. Modern antiwar sentiment and organized peace movements are derived in large part from the beliefs of religious sects such as the Society of Friends and the MennoniteChurch. The first peace societies in history were established in the U.S. in 1815, and since then pacifists have actively opposed wars and conscription, and promoted thecause of con...

Poe’s other masterpieces of horror include “The Pit and the Pendulum” (1842), a spine-tingling tale of cruelty and torture, and “The Cask of Amontillado” (1846), aneerie tale of revenge. Although Poe believed that the short story was the most suitable form for fiction, he wrote a short novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym (1838), in the hope of making some money. Based on tales of...

• Labor Union.

  B The Legal Environment The legal environment, which permits certain types of union activities and prohibits others, also influences the extent of union organization. States with right-to-worklaws have much lower unionization rates than other states. In the United States, the states with the lowest unionization rates are North Carolina, South Carolina, SouthDakota, and Arkansas—states that have right-to-work laws. In 2000 the unionization rate in these states ranged from 4.44 percent to 6.7 per...
