Full textAbstract:
MUSINT is an interactive museological network devoted to the Tuscan archaeological collections which enables the creation of an innovative display itinerary through the collections of Aegean and Cypriot antiquities, so that exhibits originating from different museum institutions can be appreciated. This has led to the creation of a "museum of museums" which responds to the need to offer a display system that can be "visited" by a broad and variegated public. The arrangement of the book itself reflects the true nature of the MUSINT project and its character as a research worksite, enhanced by past experience, and a bridge for the appreciation of new perspectives within a scientific, technological and cultural universe that is open and in continual movement.

Full textAbstract:
After establishing the parameters and critical context for the book, the Introduction argues that, for Wordsworth, monasticism registers as something much more than ‘Roman Catholicism’. Monasticism in England exists as a residual presence or religious legacy, which is inscribed in the landscape, in ruined architecture, in graveyards, even in trees. Wordsworth’s thematic engagement with monasticism is thus not restricted to theological or ecclesiastical issues; rather it is revealed to have a local topographical inflection. In this context, Wordsworth’s visits to monastic ruins differ from conventional picturesque activity. The affinity Wordsworth felt for St Francis when he visited the monastery of Laverna in Tuscany in 1837 then serves to explain the processes through which the poet chiefly came to conceive an appreciation for monastic history, and to demonstrate how opinions regarding monasticism shifted during the first decades of the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter begins with an account of a touch tour at New York’s Museum of Modern Art and goes on to describe similar programs elsewhere. These programs vary widely in terms of their understanding and expectations of blind perception. I will also discuss sites that require visitors to interact with architecture or landscape nonvisually. The “Cathedrals through Touch and Sound” program in England promotes recognition that appreciating architecture engages senses beyond sight. Similarly, a topiary reproduction of Georges Seurat’s “Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,” though not designed for blind visitors, gives a tactile and kinaesthetic understanding of the painting’s perspective and composition. Ultimately, the chapter calls on museum educators to find ways to collect the observations of blind visitors. Since everyone does not have the opportunity to touch the art, it makes sense to capture the insights of those who do in the interest of enlarging cultural knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
Following Charles IV’s second Italian expedition, a new conception of Empire began to emerge. In place of the Petrarchan vision of the emperor as an agent of ‘Italic peace’, humanists in Florence, Padua, and Milan developed a vision of Empire similar to that voiced at the beginning of the century. Anxious to defend the liberty of their own city or commune against the threat of ‘tyranny’, they appealed to imperial authority for protection. But rather than simply reproduce earlier patterns of thought, they based their imperialism on a fuller—and more dynamic—appreciation of Dante’s political thought. As this chapter shows, however, the more the Empire became embroiled in Italian affairs, the less confidence the humanists had in its ability to act in the interests of peace and liberty. And as the Visconti Wars reached their climax, the Empire at last became a tyrant to all.

Full textAbstract:
In ancient Greece, manly men were thought to have invented popular rule and were considered capable, and worthy, of ruling themselves. The full appreciation of the gendered nature of democratic culture challenges our canonical vision of ancient politics. First, we have to place gender not at the margin, but at the heart of Athenian political culture. Second, we have to expand our primary ‘must-read’ sources, by including discourses that deal with the embodiment of a political identity: above all, the biological works of Aristotle. This chapter argues for a correlation between physiology and political theory within the Aristotelian corpus, as well as for the relevance of Aristotle’s insight for our understanding of ancient democracy.

Fay, Jessica. Quakerism, Cultivation, and the Coleorton Period. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198816201.003.0003.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter offers the first detailed analysis of Wordsworth’s engagement with Quakerism. It explores the coalescence of Wordsworth’s interests in Quakerism, gardening, and ruined monastic sites during 1806 when he encountered Thomas Clarkson’s Portraiture of Quakerism (1806) and undertook two gardening projects, one with his Quaker friend Thomas Wilkinson and another for Sir George and Lady Beaumont at their Leicestershire estate of Coleorton. Gardening and working the land are sacred activities for Quakers, and from the seventeenth-century foundation of the Society of Friends, Quakerism was understood as a purified version of monasticism. Wordsworth’s appreciation for these aspects of Quakerism is manifest in the Winter Garden he designed for the Beaumonts. His eight-month residence at Coleorton in 1806–7—during which he focused on this gardening project, learned about Beaumont’s ancestry, and visited the nearby ruins of Grace Dieu Priory—is thus presented as an important transitional period in Wordsworth’s poetic career.

Freedman, Linda. ‘Energy is Eternal Delight’. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198813279.003.0007.
Full textAbstract:
Gary Snyder’s ecopoetical reading of Blake married Blake’s energetic principle with anarchist politics and a deep appreciation of Zen Buddhism and contrasted it with the deadening impact of fossil fuel technology on the earth. Michael McClure equated Blakean delight with animality and biological unpredictability which he used to oppose the uncompromising rigidity of political ideology and systemic control. Latent in the history of the earth, animal sensuality, and continually shifting systems of biological reorganization, McClure and Snyder perceived Blakean delight as the energetic lifeblood of the world. The outrage to Blake’s thinking is not as strong as first appears. Blake opposed the idea that you could learn anything from the natural world but he enjoined his readers to marry vision with action. Juxtaposing Snyder and McClure with George Oppen shows how broadly Blake inspired poets who wanted to fight the real and pressing problems of their day.

Wynn, Mark R. Spiritual Traditions and the Virtues. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198862949.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book develops a philosophical appreciation of the spiritual life. Specifically, it aims to show how a certain conception of spiritual good, one that is rooted in Thomas Aquinas’s account of infused moral virtue, can generate a distinctive vision of human life and the possibilities for spiritual fulfilment. Among other matters, the text examines the character of the goods to which spiritual traditions are directed; the structure of such traditions, including the connection between their practical and creedal commitments; the relationship between the various vocabularies that are used to describe, from the insider’s perspective, progress in the spiritual life; the significance of tradition as an epistemic category; and the question of what it takes for a spiritual tradition to be handed on from one person to another. So, while the discussion aims to make some contribution to the discipline that we standardly call the philosophy of religion, it has a rather different focus from some familiar ventures in the field, in so far as it starts from a consideration of the nature of spiritual goods and of traditions that seek to cultivate such goods. In his account of the virtues, Aquinas suggests how it is possible for our relations to the everyday world to be folded into our relations to the divine or sacred reality otherwise understood. In this sense, he is offering a vision of how it is possible to live between heaven and earth. This book considers how that vision may be extended across the central domains of human thought and experience, and how it can deepen and diversify our understanding of what it is for a human life to be lived well.

Full textAbstract:
The credibility revolution, with its emphasis on empirical methods for causal inference, has led to concerns among scholars that the canonical questions about politics and society are being neglected because they are no longer deemed answerable. This book stakes out an opposing view—presenting a new vision of how, working together, the credibility revolution and formal theory can advance social scientific inquiry. The book covers the conceptual foundations and practicalities of both model building and research design, providing a new framework to link theory and empirics. Drawing on diverse examples from political science, it presents a typology of the rich set of interactions that are possible between theory and empirics. This typology opens up new ways for scholars to make progress on substantive questions and enables researchers from disparate traditions to gain a deeper appreciation for each other's work and why it matters. The book shows theorists how to create models that are genuinely useful to empirical inquiry, and helps empiricists better understand how to structure their research in ways that speak to theoretically meaningful questions.

Full textAbstract:
Although Delmer Daves was a prolific director and screenwriter during Hollywood’s ‘Golden Age,’ there has been little serious analysis of his work. Regarded as a director of non-reflective action movies, author and director Bertrand Tavernier concluded that he was the most forgotten of American directors. More recent publications which consider his better known films have initiated more sustained appreciation of Daves as a film-maker, but to date, no scholarly monograph has examined his full body of work. This comprehensive study considers all his films, as well as screenplays written for other directors, and advocates his status as a distinctive, creative and enlightened artist. More specifically, it is proposed that Daves’s vision is consistent with the ideals of American Progressivism, which was a movement that had its roots in the 1890s and which re-emerged at different times in the twentieth century, including when the infamous HUAC hearings exerted severe pressures on Hollywood to conform to particular social and political values. His films are discussed in relation to changing racial attitudes in the 1950s, and it is argued that they question the utility of Hollywood’s conventional approach to issues of gender, including portrayal of women, family, and sexual relationships as well as images of masculine attitudes and behaviour. Irrespective of genre, evidence of a level of consistency in outlook and theme is identified which testifies to the presence of an artist with a clear vision of a more fair and equal America.

Full textAbstract:
Once we have rejected the notion of a subject-independent objectivity, we lack any basis for assuming that our emotional responses project value onto a neutral world. Love’s vision must give us unique, unequalled access to the sort of truth that it reveals. Each person’s emotional point of view, his or her attunement to the world, makes possible a distinct form of knowledge, revealing a particular truth. Our moods, temperaments, and idiosyncratic affective outlooks must fit into this book’s account of emotions as felt recognitions of significance. Each attunement involves selective attention and focus—not distortion. An observer who is not attuned in any way would not notice anything. Each person’s affective vantage point illustrates the perspectival character of existence. Because our affective outlook is a condition of apprehending axiological reality, becoming appreciative of another person’s attunement enables us to know other sides of the truth and other significant truths.

Full textAbstract:
Working as a psychiatrist in a jail or prison presents many ethical issues, many unique to the correctional setting. Obligations to the law, professional standards, the community, and public health require a complex appreciation of competing values. It remains an extraordinary commentary on the state of mental health that the largest mental health institutions in the United States are jails and prisons. In daily practice, acknowledging healthcare, individual, and professional values in a robust vision of professionalism means advocating for clinical values and opposing mistreatment. Making the limits of confidentiality clear is a time-honored element of the informed consent process and need not be diluted in the correctional system. Honoring clear boundaries between treatment and forensic evaluation are the crux of this issue: confidentiality warnings and access to counsel cannot be one-off affairs that do not account for the cognitive, educational, or mental health vulnerabilities of the patient in a correctional setting. Developing trust, offering transparency, and delivering clear descriptions of procedural requirements are the lessons of an empirical database that supports this approach and can lead to more collaboration and less violence. This chapter presents a discussion of the critical concerns, including informed consent and coercion, dual agency, appropriate access to care, and managing professional boundaries and standards.

Full textAbstract:
Honesty about the lessons of experience must tell us that by all the odds, climate catastrophe is inevitable, and humanity is stuffed. But life itself will not let us abandon hope for a habitable human future. So, we have to trust to the transformative power of hoping against hope. That is what many campaigners are now doing, but without fully appreciating the implications. For the corresponding counter-empirical realism involves not just believing that we can create genuinely new possibility against the odds, but embracing a tragic vision of life to acknowledge our natural limits in so doing. The first six chapters of the book make this argument, demonstrating that we need to understand the climate crisis as not fundamentally a moral issue, but something much deeper. For those who recognise the only conditions under which hope can now be realistic, fighting for the future of life becomes a tragic necessity. And when enough people make that connection, they also literally make possible the unprecedented kind of transformation that we need. Both the belief that we can still transform our situation and the tragic vision within the context of which we must now do so are tied practically to the demand for realistic hope. Together, they mean a harsher approach to the demands of the climate emergency than most activists have yet been prepared to adopt. The concluding chapters of the book spell this out uncompromisingly.

Full textAbstract:
The EU Citizenship Directive defines the right of free movement for citizens of the European Economic Area. It applies to EU citizens and their family members who move to visit or reside in another Member State. This might at first seem like a straightforward definition, but immediately questions arise. Who determines if a person is an EU citizen at all? What about dual citizens of two Member States, or of one Member State and a non-Member State (a ‘third State’)? What is the position of EU citizens who move to one Member State, and then return to their home Member State? This book provides a comprehensive commentary of the EU’s Citizens’ Directive tracing the evolution of the Directive’s provisions, placing each article in its historical and legislative context. Special emphasis is placed on highlighting the connections and interactions between the Directive’s constituent provisions so as to permit a global appreciation of the system of free movement rights to which the Directive gives effect. Each provision is annotated containing a detailed analysis of the case law of the Court of Justice as well as of related measures impacting upon the Directive’s interpretation including European Commission reports and guidelines on the Directive’s implementation.

Full textAbstract:
College students today display disturbing levels of stress, depression, and other psychological conditions. The reasons for this rise in mental health problems are many, from increased reliance on electronic technology, the related prevalence of social isolation, and anxiety regarding societal ills. College and university counselling centers are challenged to address student demand for psychological services, with many counseling directors having to reduce the number of visits for non-crisis patients to cope with the increasing number of clients. While more serious mental health problems will continue to be addressed through intensive counseling, medications and, in extreme cases, hospitalization, the majority of young people can positively impact their mental well-being by simply spending time outside in nature. A large body of scientific evidence verifies that time spent in natural settings can lower young people's stress levels, anxiety, blood pressure and heart rate, and improve memory and cognitive functions. College Nature Rx programs encourage students to spend time in nature and to develop greater appreciation for the natural world. We present a step-by-step formula for how such programs can be constructed, sustained, and evaluated, and profile four progressive Nature Rx programs at American colleges. In a final chapter, we argue for the need for such programs to the future health and strength of such institutions.

Powerful new detailed and comprehensive resource for diagnosing and treating medical child abuse. Thomas A. Roesler, MD and Carole Jenny, MD, MBA, FAAP make the case that the term Munchausen syndrome by proxy should be retired permanently and replaced with a commonsense appreciation that children can be abused by their parents in the medical environment. Physicians who find themselves providing unnecessary and harmful medical care can see the abuse for what it is, another way parents can harm children. The book offers the first detailed and comprehensive description of treatment for this form of child maltreatment. “At last. A clear, logical, and immensely practical book, showing that this is not a syndrome at all, but rather another important form of child abuse…and one which is completely preventable.” Kim Oates, Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics, The University of Sydney, Australia. “A fantastic book that will revolutionize, in a much needed way, the way we think about this disorder.” Alex V.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In the seventeenth century, natural philosophy was seen as an integrated enterprise, embracing what are now seen as separate disciplines, such as philosophy, the natural sciences, mathematics, and theology. Although often portrayed as a now redundant precursor of the natural sciences, natural philosophy was far more than this, enfolding the two quite different notions of learning about and learning from nature. This book argues for the retrieval of the ‘disciplinary imaginary’ of natural philosophy. The first part of the work explores how this idea emerged in the writings of Aristotle, and achieved its greatest influence in the seventeenth century. It offers a critical conversation with leading representatives of the movement—such as Johann Kepler, Robert Boyle, and Isaac Newton—to clarify its scope and significance, as well as identifying the factors causing the decline of the movement in the nineteenth century. The second part of the book sets out a comprehensive account of how natural philosophy can be retrieved and reimagined. Drawing on recent discussions of progress in philosophy, it argues that a retrieved natural philosophy can hold together both the objective and subjective aspects of the human engagement with the natural world. Using Mary Midgley’s approach to safeguarding the complexity of nature and Karl Popper’s model of the ‘three worlds’ of human knowledge—objective, subjective, and theoretical—the book offers a comprehensive vision of the scope of a revitalized natural philosophy, and the benefits this brings to the human understanding and appreciation of nature.
