A Divergence-Free High-Resolution Code for MHD

2001

We describe a 2.5D numerical code to solve the equations of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The numerical code, based on high-resolution shock-capturing (HRSC) techniques, solves the equations written in conservation form and computes the numerical fluxes using a linearized Riemann solver. A special procedure is used to force the conservation of magnetic flux along the time.

Personības iezīmes, piesaistes stils un partnera idealizācija sievietēm ar dažādu partnerattiecību ilgumu

2015

Maģistra darba ietvaros tika veikts pētījums lai noskaidrotu, vai pastāv saistības starp personības iezīmēm, piesaistes stiliem un partnera idealizāciju sievietēm un vai pastāv atšķirības starp šiem faktoriem saistībā ar partnerattiecību ilgumu grupās no 1-5, 6-9 un 10- 15 un vairāk kopdzīves gadiem. Kopumā pētījumā piedalījās 168 sievietes vecumā no 25-50 gadiem (M = 30,05 SD = 6,31), ar partnerattiecību ilgumu no 1- 15 gadiem (M = 7,53 SD = 4,29), pie nosacījuma, ka viņas ar šo partneri dzīvo kopā. Pētījuma instrumentārijā tika izmantotas trīs aptaujas- Piesaistes stilu aptauja (ASI; Sperling & Berman, 1991), Lielā Piecinieka aptauja (BFI; The Big Five Inventory, John & Srivastava, 1999) …

Crítica de la razón impura: de Nietzsche a Ortega y Gasset

2015

The main objective of this article is to show Nietzsche’s decisive importance for the origin of vital reason in Ortega y Gasset, as an expression of the dawn of impure reason, which opens us a new philosophical horizon that is able to overcome idealism and positivism. On the basis of Nietzsche’s Aurora the article discusses the Nietzschean background and his infl uence on Ortega y Gasset’s path from pure reason to impure reason in the form of vital reason, understood by Ortega y Gasset as “The Dawn of Historical Reason” and characterized with Nietzschean elements such as imagination and the poetic capacity of the fantastic animal. Keywords: Nietzsche, Ortega y Gasset, reason, life, imaginat…

María Zambrano’s Phenomenology of Poetic Reason

2002

Maria Zambrano was born in Velez-Malaga (Malaga) in 1904. Her father, Blas Zambrano, a teacher by profession, was to play a significant part in influencing her, along with her close friend, the poet Antonio Machado. In 1924 she moved to Madrid where she studied philosophy and attended classes given by Ortega y Gasset, Xavier Zubiri and Garcia Morente. A staunch supporter of the Republic, she went into exile after the end of the Civil War. After a long exodus through Mexico, Cuba, Paris, Rome and other places, she returned to Spain where she received the Cervantes Prize for Literature (1988). She died in Madrid in 1996.

Parliamentary Politics as an Activity

2018

In this book, Kari Palonen undertakes a thought experiment to spell out key principles of the parliamentary ideal type of politics. Max Weber offers him the main intellectual inspiration, Westminster parliament provides the main historical reference and the author’s studies on parliamentary procedure and rhetoric provide the background. Parliamentary acting and thinking offers us the best example of politics as contingent and controversial activity. In parliament, the pro et contra debate on the motions and the dissensus between perspectives of judging as well as playing in time and with time are built into the institution itself. In this sense, parliamentary politics is more than parliamen…

Understanding Debate as Politics

2017

The book’s core idea is to present and explain how different actual and virtual debates can be understood and analysed as political actions. We want to provide tools and ways for grasping the complex phenomenon of politics by concentrating on debate, including debates carried out in, or reflected by, documents. The approach proposed allows for a nuanced and detailed understanding of politics, as it does justice to the aims of political actors, taking into account their actions, interests, moves and strategies, and situating them in relation to the different contexts in which their contributions make a difference. The first chapter presents the theoretical and methodological background by an…

Thinking Parliamentary Politics as an Ideal Type

2018

The chapter discusses in detail Max Weber’s concept of ideal type, as a modus of knowledge that connects the contingent and controversial activities of scholarship and parliamentary politics. Weber regards the constantly changing reality as inexhaustible by any concepts. However, concepts offer competing ideal-typical perspectives on the interpretation of the changing realities. For Weber, the research process is a contingent and open-ended practice in which new perspectives contain chances to provoke conceptual revisions, whereas the absence of new perspectives would lead to stagnation. Understanding realised histories presupposes speculation with ideal types. The procedures and practices …

El final de la historia a la luz de la utopía política. Entre Fukuyama y Jameson

2017

En este artículo voy a interpretar el significado del final de la historia decretado de manera dispar por Fukuyama y Jameson desde el ángulo de la utopía política moderna. A partir de cuantiosos fragmentos procedentes de novelas utópicas, mostrare como las sociedades ideales imaginadas durante la modernidad tuvieron por cimiento el final de la historia, incidencia que se plasmaba en la propagación de una temporalidad circunscrita al presente. Analizando con la ayuda de la bibliografía filosófica y sociólogica adecuada los fenómenos actuales relativos al ethos posthistórico, mostrare como nuestros días se encuentran a merced de patrones temporales muy semejantes. La conclusión principal a la…

Visual legitimisation of astronomy in the sixteenth and seventeeth centuries: Atlas, Hercules and Tycho’s nose

2007

Abstract Images of the virtuous hero Hercules and the crowned King Atlas offered considerable potential for legitimising the new astronomy of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The accomplishments of Hercules, a seeker after virtue, with his exceptional learning, his role as disseminator of knowledge, his significance as an example of ideal manhood and, in addition to all, his achievement of immortality, invited comparison with the endeavours of astronomers. Throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Hercules and Atlas appear as the spiritual authorities of the discipline, and each was called into use to symbolise both the old and the new astronomy. Both figures embodied qual…
