Ontologie ist nur als Phänomenologie möglich. David W oodruff Smith's Husserl (2007) sculpts Husserl, along with Aristotle and Kant, on the Mount Rushmore of 1 W estern philosophy. He does so because all three were great systematic philosophers whose systems radically changed and improved earlier ones (5). Smith says, " Integrating theories in logic, ontology, phenomenology, epistemology, and 2...

The effect of attention on perceived brightness and contrast was investigated in eight experiments. Attention was manipulated by engaging observers in an attention-demanding concurrent task (letter detection) or by directing attention to a location with a peripheral cue. In all of the dual-task manipulations, attention reduced the variability of responses. However, attention did not affect the ...

Raymond College was an unusual experiment in American higher education, one that unfortunately was not to endure. I learned of the school thanks to the interest that Robert Maynard Hutchins took in my education. He was then the head of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions in Santa Barbara. Hutchins admired the poetry of my mother, American poet Elizabeth Bartlett; it was she who ...

An attempt is made to suggest an alternative approach to certain of the problems central to transcendental philosophy. In particular, it seems that the present understanding of pre-reflective awareness, of reflection, and of their interrelation can acquire a greater degree of rigour and clarity. To this end, attention is paid to preconditions of reference that are entailed by the phenomenologic...

This is the written version of four lectures given at the 1994 TASI. My aim is to explain the essentials of lattice calculations, give an update on (though not a review of) the present status of calculations of phenomenologically interesting quantities, and to provide an understanding of the various sources of uncertainty in the results. I illustrate the important issues using the examples of t...

John Searle describes our sense of freedom as an experience of a “gap” between an intentional action and its psychological antecedents, specifically, our reasons.. Since the gap is itself understood as a lack of causation, then no agent can accept the antecedent determination of voluntary action except at the price of “practical inconsistency.” I argue that despite Searle’s insightful discussio...

in this paper, the effect of penicillin g drug as a green corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in 1.0 mhydrochloric acid solution has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (eis) and electrochemical noise (en) techniques. the inhibition efficiencywas found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration. potentiodynamic polarizationmeasureme...
