To discuss reflexivity in anthropology is not a new approach. The purpose of this article is to examine the meaning of reflexivity for the hermeneutical or confessional anthropology, which has been endemic in social sciences ever since the publication of Malinowski’s diaries and the onset of the recurrent and persistent crisis of objectivity that haunts modern scholarship. We have determined th...

Let X be a compact Hausdorff space and let H be a separable Hilbert space. We prove that the group of all order automorphisms of the C∗-algebra C(X)⊗ B(H) is algebraically reflexive.

The introduction of exempt reflexives in Pollard and Sag (1992; 1994) and Reinhart and Reuland (1993) has led to a new characterization of ‘picture-NP-reflexives’, which are no longer considered anaphoric. These analyses, however, do not provide a clear concept of the term ‘anaphor’ any more, and cannot account for the existence of picture-NP-reflexives in languages without exempt reflexives. F...

Plural reflexives and reciprocals are anaphoric not only to antecedent pluralities but also to relations between the members of those pluralities. In this paper, I utilize Dynamic Plural Logic (van den Berg 1996) to analyze reflexives and reciprocals as anaphors that elaborate on relations introduced by the verb, which can be collective, cumulative, or distributive. This analysis generalizes to...

Our purpose in this article is to achieve a shift of focus away from a view of research methods as objectified procedures to be learnt by researchers, and towards the development of researchers who craft procedures integral to the environments in which they operate – environments of which they are also a functioning constituent. A key element in such a perspective is the conceptualisation (and ...

Abstract According to Franz Brentano, every mental act includes a representation of itself. Hence, Brentano can be described as maintaining that: (T1) reflexivity, when it occurs, is included part in acts; and (T2) reflexivity always occurs. Brentano’s way understanding the inclusion acts entails double intentionality acts. The aim this paper show that conjunction not uncommon history philosoph...
