George Edward Moore and the philosophy of “common sense”: idealism and anti-idealism
2023
Se prendiamo in esame la storia del pensiero europeo del XX secolo, l’anno della frattura tra idealismo e anti-idealismo è rappresentato dal 1903, quando Bertrand Russell pubblica “The Principles of Mathematics”, dando corso al neo-positivismo, che nel continente europeo si sarebbe sviluppato come empirismo logico con i rappresentanti del Circolo di Vienna, del Circolo di Berlino della Scuola di Leopoli-Varsavia. Nello stesso anno 1903 George Edward Moore, nella rivista “Mind”, pubblica il saggio “The Refutation of Idealism”; ma non solo, perché ancora nel 1903 dà alle stampe il volume “Principia Ethica”. A Moore, non meno che a Russell, va prestata la dovuta attenzione per l’elaborazione d…
Effects of medication, treatment, and behavioral beliefs on intentions to take medication in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia
2018
Background and aims Although familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) can be effectively managed using cholesterol-lowering medication, patients often fall short of complete treatment adherence. Identifying the psychological factors associated with self-regulation of FH medication is important to inform interventions to maximize adherence. The aim of the present study was to test an integrated psychological model in predicting FH patients' intentions to take medication. Methods FH patients attending clinics in seven countries were invited to participate in a cross-sectional survey study. Consenting patients (N = 551) completed self-report measures of generalized beliefs about medication overuse a…
Common sense put to work : The capitalisation of affects in the introduction of a Lean management model to healthcare professionals
2022
This article investigates how Lean model is introduced in a management training course targeted at healthcare professionals in Finland. Lean management originated in the Japanese car industry; since the 1990s it has become a key management doctrine for healthcare reform in Western welfare states. Drawing on ethnographic research on a two-day Lean management training course in 2019, and by applying the analytical lenses of affects and sociomateriality, the article illustrates how Lean is made attractive to healthcare professionals. The article results that Lean training serves as an example of complex mechanism of biocapitalist production in which people’s cognition, feelings, sensitivities …
The Great Departure: Rethinking National(ist) Common Sense
2012
This article argues that, in order to overcome the national(ist) common sense that continues to haunt everyday political and scholarly interpretations of mobility, scholars need not diagnose nationalism with greater vigour, but should rather move beyond facile diagnoses of nationalism. The article calls for a meticulous tracing of relations and practices of emplacement and displacement that ubiquitous national(ist) interpretive frames both co-opt and exceed simultaneously. The argument is elaborated on the basis of an analysis of historical articulations of emplacement and displacement in Latvian understandings of ‘the good life’. The article pays particular attention to the ways in which t…
Illness perceptions of COVID-19 in Europe: Predictors, impacts and temporal evolution
2021
Objective: Illness perceptions (IP) are important predictors of emotional and behavioral responses in many diseases. The current study aims to investigate the COVID-19-related IP throughout Europe. The specific goals are to understand the temporal development, identify predictors (within demographics and contact with COVID-19) and examine the impacts of IP on perceived stress and preventive behaviors. Methods: This was a time-series-cross-section study of 7, 032 participants from 16 European countries using multilevel modeling from April to June 2020. IP were measured with the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire. Temporal patterns were observed considering the date of participation and t…
