When Raphael Cilento drafted his unpublished autobiography, he called it ‘The World, My Oyster’. Some of the other titles he considered—such as ‘Confessions of an International Character’, ‘20th Century Spotlight’, ‘Mankind in the Raw’ and ‘Tapestry of Humanity’—similarly evoked his international career. Other alternatives—such as ‘Topical Confessions of a Tropical D…

E-book If You’re So Ethical, Why Are You So Highly Paid? : Ethics, Inequali…

Why do some people appear to obtain a disproportionate share of income and wealth? The French economist Thomas Piketty, in his book Capital in the Twenty-First Century, frames the problem in a rather old-fashioned way as a tussle between capital and labour. His main thesis is that inequality is rising because the rate of return on capital, held disproportionately by the wealthy, exc…

E-book Lost in Digital Translations : Studies of Digital Resistance and Accom…

Our aim in this chapter is to show and discuss what is lost in digital trans-lations as the welfare state and society increasingly use digital technology in welfare production.

In addition, there is a need to make what is l…

Prometheus is also notorious for having given humanity fire. Consequently, he…

E-book Infinity, Causation, and Paradox

Infinity is paradoxical in many ways. Some paradoxes involve deterministic supertasks, such as Thomson's Lamp, where a switch is toggled an infinite number of times over a finite period of time, or the Grim Reaper, where it seems that infinitely many reapers can produce a result without doing anything. Others involve infinite lotteries. If you get two tickets from an infinite fair lottery where…

E-book Modern French Philosophy

We have seen how, as a consequence of the Revolution and of the cold, destructive, criticism of the eighteenth century, there was a demand for constructive thought. This was a desire common not only to the Traditionalists but to De Biran and Cousin. They aimed at intellectual reconstruction. While, however, there were some who combated the principles of the Revolution, as did the Traditionalist…

E-book The Things That Really Matter : Philosophical conversations on the cor…

There are many reasons why I liked Mary so much, as a person, a writer and a philosopher. I liked her for her wit, her warmth, her level- headedness and her moral clarity; her ability to steer clear of all unnecessary technicalities and cut straight to the chase, focusing on the big picture rather than getting mired in the details of any particu…

Currently, the origins ofin vitrocell lines are highly biased towards humans.Around 75% of the total number of established cell lines are from Hominidae origin(96,862/128,799) and over 97% are of mammalian origin (126,033/128,799) (Bairoch2018) (Figure 1).

E-book Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife

Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists.

The part of the brain that controls thoug…

E-book Language Dispersal Beyond Farming

Just as plant and animal lineages are not uniformly distributed around the world, the same is true for the distribution of language families. As of 2017 the Ethnologue list includes around 50 distinct language families covering 7099 living languages, some of which, like Austronesian, have spread over a huge geographical range while others, like Amuric, have only a single living member (i.e., Ni…

E-book Perfume and Literature : The Persistence of the Ephemerd

Between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, contemporary culture and philosophy in particular encouraged an energetic reappraisal of the sensible life as an integral part of corporeity and intermediation between humans and ‘their’ world. ‘Sensibility’ evokes an interface relationship with the world, while the ‘sensorium,’ a distinct term/concept that is related to the former, ex…

Synthetic biology raises the possibility that pathogenic bioweapons could be designed, developed, and deployed in new ways that diverge from the disease-causing characteristics of naturally occurring pathogens (NAS 2018). Traditionally, only known pathogens found naturally in the environment, such as B. anthracis and Y. pestis, were developed as biological weapons because o…

For the debates about the ultramontanization of Catholicism in the course of the nineteenth century the contrast of an early example of pilgrimages and a later case during the heyday of ultramontanism can be revealing.
