Most of the essays gathered in this Symposium were submitted to the Special Workshop on Economics, Ethics, and Law at the 22nd IVR World Congress in Granada, Spain.1 The papers selected address promises and commitments, their rational or moral grounding, and their relationship to various kinds of contracts and agreements. While the duty to fulfill promises is uncontroversial, the nature of prom...

In his graduate-seminar lectures on Kant—published as Kant and Pre-Kantian Themes (Sellars 2002)—Wilfrid Sellars argues that because Hume cannot distinguish between a vivacious idea and an idea of something vivacious he cannot account for the human ability to represent temporally complex states of affairs.

This investigation resulted in a novel understanding of the mind, which in turn informed Hume‟s critical evaluation of the scope and limits of the scientific method as such. However, while these latter reflections continue ...

The polarographic study of Cd(II) with L-Tyrosine has been investigated in aqueous organic solvent mixtures at 300K. The Dimethyl sulphoxide and Dimethyl formamide solvents have been used with water to study the effect of solvents on the stability of complexes. Cadmium(II) formed 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 complexes with L-Tyrosine in the aqueous-organic solvent mixture i.e. DMSO and DMF. The stability c...
