Jurgen Habermas Jacques Derrida have been two of most influential philosophers to engage with ethical questions has drawn on foundations established by Immanuel Kant set out define an institutional framework that could secure rights people in age mobility. Derrida’s emphasis is more heav...

The use of popular expressive arts as antidotes to the pathologies of the parallel processes of lifeworld colonization and cultural impoverishment has been under-theorized. This article enters the void with a project in which breast cancer survivors used collages and installations of everyday objects to solicit their authentic expression of the psycho-social impacts of lymphedema. The article e...

Sialic acid residues are responsible for the negative charge at the cell surface in human erythrocytes (Eylar et al., 1962), and are involved in Mand N-group specificity (Ebert & Jurgen, 1972). The sialic acid content decreases as erythrocytes age (Balduini et al., 1974; Baxter & Beeley, 1975), and its role as a determinant of the erythrocyte lifespan is described in several reports (Jancik & S...

The shaping of international order, and the place of concepts such as law and community within that order, has emerged as one of the most pressing issues in contemporary legal and political thought. This Essay examines three recent theses, each of which attempts to locate a public philosophy appropriate to the emerging new world order.

OBJECTIVE To explore and evaluate involvement initiatives in secure mental health sett...

One of the most celebrated theorems of differential geometry is the 1929 theorem of Lusternik and Schnirelmann, which states that for every riemannian metric on the 2-sphere there exist at least three simple closed geodesies. Jurgen Jost [J] (following important work of Pitts [P] and Simon and Smith [SS]) has recently generalized this result by showing that for every riemannian metric on S, the...

The first volume of the Mathematical Intelligencer contains an article by Jurgen Moser “Is the solar system stable?” [23]. As a toy model for planetary motion, Moser proposed the system illustrated in figure 1 and called the dual (or outer) billiard. The dual billiard table P is a planar oval. Choose a point x outside P . There are two tangent lines from x to P ; choose one of them, say, the ri...

This paper uses aspects of Jurgen Habermas’s critical theory of societal development as the evaluative stance for the introduction, application and implications of evaluation of teaching quality in universities. It argues that the practice of student evaluation of teaching or Student Ratings of Teaching (SRT) is clearly designed to position students as consumers in their educational experience....
