Moral Particularism and Transduction

Some Problems with Particularism

This article suggests that due to a restricted understanding of the nature and scope of ethical theory, particularism discounts prematurely the possibility of a metatheory of Buddhist ethics. The textual evidence presented in support of particularism is reconsidered and shown to be consistent with a metatheoretical reading. It is argued that writers who have adopted a particularist approach bas...

A Critical Assessment

A microdissected rabbit intrarenal arterial glomeruli (glomerulectomy) , but with variability between experiments. An even higher infusion network (IAN) perfused at constant flow with rate of isoproterenol (11 mg/min) in Group 2 Krebs-bicarbonate solution was employed to caused no significant AII release. Similarly, in determine whether this network, which has a high Group 3, in which a longer ...

Interdisciplinarity: A Critical Assessment

This article draws together disparate research and theorizing on interdisciplinarity. We first describe widespread efforts to promote interdisciplinarity in U.S. universities and critically examine the assumptions underlying these initiatives. Next, we present a cross-sectional view of interdisciplinary communication, knowledge diffusion, research assessment, and interdisciplinary research cent...

A Critical Assessment of Simulated Critical Values

There is a wide variety of statistical problems (e.g., unit root and cointegration tests) where hypothesis testing involves the use of simulated rather than theoretical critical values. We argue that in practice the number of replications used to simulate critical values is often insufficient to provide the degree of precision that is implied. In particular, the number of replications needed is...
