Thomas S. Szasz, precursor de la psiquiatría crítica

2015

Thomas S. Szasz (1920-2012), profesor de psiquiatría de la State University of New York en Siracusa (EE. UU.), fue el mayor crítico del cientificismo y de las prácticas coercitivas de la psiquiatría. Con treinta y cinco libros publicados y centenares de artículos, no ha existido otro autor más prolífico en su campo. Fue un intelectual de primer orden que realizó uno de los más lúcidos análisis conceptuales y epistemológicos de la psiquiatría. Este le sirvió de base para sostener su crítica abierta a los abusos de poder de la psiquiatría (encierros involuntarios, tratamientos no consentidos, etc.). Su libro de 1961 El mito de la enfermedad mental es un clásico. En él Szasz sostuvo, contra el…

Disease and Anti-Naturalism in Raymond Carver's “Fat” and “A Small, Good Thing” and David Lynch's Blue Velvet

2005

International audience; This paper does not explore possible references to Carver in Lynch's films, but offers a comparative study of their representations of disease. Based primarily on a play between metonymy and metaphor, this aesthetic of contamination contributes to a critical discourse on naturalist thought. The first form of “anti-naturalism” is the deconstruction of what calls Charles Taylor “disengaged reason.” The second form is the questioning of the very “idea of nature.” These artists adopt what Clément Rosset calls an “artificialist” standpoint, the subject and the body being shaped, as Michel Foucault and Judith Butler would have it, by normative discourses and techniques. Co…

Psychometric evidence of a brief measure of resilience in non-institutionalized Peruvian older adults

2018

Resilience is understood as the domain of personal resources and contextual factors that allow for a successful coping and enhance positive adaptation to the different stressors during the lifespan, thereby being important for a healthy and successful aging. Nowadays, several brief instruments have been developed to measure resilience, such as the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS), an instrument that measures the ability of people to confront stress in an adaptive way. In this vein, the study provides evidence of the validity and reliability of the BRCS in non-institutionalized older adults in Peru. Two hundred thirty-six elderly people of both genders, 78.4% women and 21.6% men, with a m…

Par cilvēcisko lietu nepastāvību

1598

Teoloģiski ētiskais, vēsturiskais traktāts “Par cilvēcisko lietu nepastāvību” iesākas ar veltījumu dažādiem Rīgas rātskungiem. Par savstarpējo apmaiņu ar laipnībām var uzskatīt Dāvida Hilhena vēstuli grāmatas autoram un savukārt Georga Cīglera sacerēto dzeju par godu D. Hilhenam. G. Cīglers nopublicējis savā grāmatā arī Rostokas zinātnieka, vēsturnieka Dāvida Hitreja vēstuli autoram. Hitrejs raksta, ka neraugoties uz redzes problēmām, esot iepazinies ar G. Cīglera grāmatu (grāmata iznāca 1598 un 1599 gadā). Pazemīgie veltījumi ietekmīgām personām ieviesās arī tāpēc, ka sacerētāji tādējādi kompensēja trūkstošo autora honorāru, jo bagātie patricieši parasti parādā nepalika. Eksemplāriem atšķi…

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation and Hume's Conception of Causality

2013

This article investigates the relationship between Hume’s causal philosophy and Newton’s philosophy of nature. I claim that Newton’s experimentalist methodology in gravity research is an important background for understanding Hume’s conception of causality: Hume sees the relation of cause and effect as not being founded on a priori reasoning, similar to the way that Newton criticized non-empirical hypotheses about the properties of gravity. However, according to Hume’s criteria of causal inference, the law of universal gravitation is not a complete causal law, since it does not include a reference either to contiguity or to temporal priority. It is still argued that because of the empirical…

"Ultra vestimenta seu ornamenta ecclesiastica que etiam dedi eidem ecclesie". Tracce di un'eredità palermitana dell'arcivescovo Jean de Carondelet (1…

2016

Lo studio, dopo una breve biografia aggiornata di Jean Carondelet, importante colto ecclesiastico e politico fiammingo, che fu anche arcivescovo di Palermo dal 1520 al 1544, ne indaga la committenza artistica (vetrate istoriate, paramenti sacri ricamati, stalli corali lignei intagliati, manoscritti liturgici miniati, dipinti, sculture marmoree) tra Franca Contea, Paesi Bassi borgognoni e la stessa Palermo, col supporto di un'inedito testamento secondo cui egli avrebbe donato già in vita "vestimenta seu ornamenta ecclesiastica" di grande valore alla cattedrale palermitana, tra cui forse la mitria e il paliotto già tradizionalmente identificati col suo cognome.
