  During the summer of 1949, South Korea had expanded its army to about 90,000 troops, a strength the North matched in early 1950. The North had about 150 SovietT-34 tanks and a small but effective air force of 70 fighters and 62 light bombers—weapons either left behind when Soviet troops evacuated Korea or bought from theUSSR and China in 1949 and 1950. By June 1950 American data showed the two armies at about equal strength, with roughly equal numbers amassed along the 38thparallel. However, thi...

  situation. A Cardiac Cycle Although the right and left halves of the heart are separate, they both contract in unison, producing a single heartbeat. The sequence of events from the beginning ofone heartbeat to the beginning of the next is called the cardiac cycle. The cardiac cycle has two phases: diastole, when the heart’s chambers are relaxed, and systole,when the chambers contract to move blood. During the systolic phase, the atria contract first, followed by contraction of the ventricles. T...

• 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...

  directions: work in epistemology, philosophical psychology, history of philosophy, and value theory. In pure value theory, there has been little home-grown work that is highly original though there have been many solid contributions by Australian philosophers to international debates, and Peter Singer is famous beyond philosophical circles for his theorizing of 'animal liberation' and opposition to 'sanctity of human life' outlooks in bioethics. The general tenor of Australian philosophy...

  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...

• Can we lie to ourselves?

  Human psyche according to Freud : Guardian Believing in this hypothesis of the unconscious, would enable us to understand the possibility of self-lying by repression. The existence of an entity which is independent from all control and slips out from a spontaneous knowledge divides our mind into two independent beings that could deceive one another. However exciting this idea is, I think misses from this reasoning an idea of will, it...

If we are certain, we spontaneously reject objections as idle phantoms, however much they may be insisted on by a pertinacious opponent, or present themselves through an obsessiveimagination.I certainly should be very intolerant of such a notion as that I shall one day be Emperor of the French; I shouldthink it too absurd even to be ridiculous, and that I must be mad before I could entertain it. And did a man try topersuade me that treachery, cruelty, or ing...

  2 S3 : However, Virginia Woolf challenges all these aspects, in her novel, Mrs Dalloway . As the characters ( Clari ssa, her old friend Peter Wa lsh and the wa r veteran Septimus Warren Smith) cross each other’s paths, the novel becomes a map of patterns and associations .

Even though English law might not reflect natural law with perfect accuracy, it was capable of systematic study to the extent that it did so reflect natural law. Thus he endeavours to expound English law in terms of a system of natural rights, and he draws on the writings of natural lawyers throughout the Commentaries (and not simp...

  What we can notice , is that Shakespeare tries to open our eyes on things that we tend to overlook. I personally think he wants us to understand the world better. Shakespeare's work is really special: even though he lived in the 16th century, his words, and his ideas about the society, life, love, feelings...still have an effect on people, no matter which generation they are in (Romeo and Juliet for example, is one of his plays that are still celebrated today.

To complicate matters further, there are compelling grounds for the belief that, despite the tradition, the genera of being with which the Categories deals are not (Aristotelian) categories.

And in a relativ...

In this way, the cosmogony sketched above is given aphilosophical basis. Just as the whole system of the world comes about from the thought which the Necessary Beinghas of itself, so this being, in thinking itself at the same time thinks everything in the universe: it thinks ‘the higher(that is, heavenly) beings, each in its...

  through on all the consequences of God's non-existence, they would indeed plunge into a life of vice without remorse. For though convinced that we can know the principles of morality without relying upon belief in God, Bayle thought that without such a belief we would have no reason to subordinate our self-interest to them. Still, the atheist would be unlikely to take up the life of crime, Bayle insisted, because the rational calculation of advantage is a less powerful motive than the concern...

  Although a consensus is growing among health professionals that alcohol dependence is a disease, society’s attitudes toward individuals with drinking problems remainambivalent and confused.

But this stereotype was largely dispelled when highly respected people publicly admitted their alcoholdependence and...

  word for the analogous things and the notion connected to the common term is wholly the same. However, the analogous things share unequally in the nature involved, for example, 'body' as found in corruptible bodies on the surface of the earth and 'body' as found in the heavenly bodies, which Cajetan (following Aristotelian tradition) takes to be incorruptible. Since the notion of body is wholly the same, namely a substance subject to three dimensions, the logician considers the analogous t...

• Bradwardine, Thomas

  velocity is a self-contradiction, a vacuum is impossible. In De proportionibus , Bradwardine first laid out the theory of ratios familiar from the theory of musical ratios as found in Boethius . He used this understanding of operations on ratios to reinterpret Aristotle 's theory. Velocities vary, he said, as the ratio of force to resistance. When the ratio of force to resistance is ‘doubled' the velocity is doubled, when the ratio is ‘tripled' the velocity is tripled and so on, with the...

Real knowledge, even some knowledge about the First Cause, he thought, is within human grasp.

By contrast, the layman's uncontemplative life is only quasi-human. As was commo...

People consumed not so much objects but images, ideals, fantasies, styles - all of which were structured through advertising and presented in the electronic media, a strange new dimension of social life which altered forever the older ‘bourgeois' culture of modern society. Individuals, Baudrillard argued, construct themselves, or better, their identities in and through their response to advertising and the media...

In the mid-ninth century Lupus, Abbot of Ferrières , wrote elegant Latin letters which, in their concern for discovering and collating ancient texts, anticipate the interests of early modern humanists.

Historians often present the role of the Carolingian renaissance in the history of philosophy in terms simpl...

• Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Suárez's Conception of Metaphysics

  The difference between non-real beings and possible beings is that possible beings have an aptitude for existence,even though they do not exist, whereas non-real beings do not. A possible being like Misifus, has an aptitude suchthat it could exist even if it does not; but a non-real being like a goatstag, lacks such an aptitude and neitherexists nor can exist (31, 2, 10; 26, 232).Real being, then, includes possible, unactualized essences in addition to actualized ones. This means that the...
