Microscopy and literature

This article draws attention to literary works which have been influenced by microscopy, or in which microscopy has played a significant role. The work of writers including Jonathan Swift, Voltaire, George Eliot, H. G. Wells and D. H. Lawrence is discussed. In many cases these authors had direct experience of operating microscopes and viewing the wonders of the microscopic world. However, with the increasing separation of the two cultures, recent examples of microscopy in literature are rare.     

Lessons in Self-Betrayal: On the Pitfalls of Transformative Education

In this essay Ryan Kemp makes an unlikely case for value stability, arguing that people should almost never aspire to become radically different and that, given this, some people should be reluctant to pursue educational experiences that wildly broaden their life possibilities. His account is developed and structured around two borrowed examples, one literary and the other historical. Wendell Berry, his novel Hannah Coulter in particular, is the source of the first example; Jonathan Lear, specifically the case of Native American resettlement developed in Radical Hope, provides the second. The essay contains three sections structured around three related ideas. The first section explores the rationality of wanting to be a different person. The second section explores the rationality of wanting to be the same person while doing entirely different things. And the third section explores the rationality of desiring an education that teaches you to be suspicious of being anything in particular.     

格列佛、耶胡与《圣经》中的幸存者

乔纳森·斯威夫特是英国18世纪著名的讽刺小说家。他的第一部小说《格列佛游记》出版于1726年,讲述了格列佛医生游历利立浦特、布罗卜丁奈格、勒皮他和慧骃国的奇闻轶事,辛辣尖刻地讽刺了当时英国的社会黑暗和政治腐朽。＂将我创造的人类从地面上毁灭＂,上帝的这句话回荡在整个《圣经》和人类历史中。格列佛就是斯威夫特的诺亚和罗得,他应该能从慧骃的最后审判中幸存下来。     

一脑二心：埃文斯心理学哲学解读及反思

无论传统或是当代科学家、哲学家在心理问题上分歧有多大,但都普遍认为我们只有一个心,并支配着我们的理性行为或活动。当代一些认知心理学家如埃文斯在分析传统心理二元性基础上,结合当代认知科学中出现的双重加工理论这个新范式,标新立异地提出一脑之中共居两心,它们共同协作、相互竞争。两心假说对于我们重新认识心理的本质、地形概貌,反思我们的常识心理学以及认知科学、人工智能的发展具有重要意义。但是从心灵哲学的角度来看,它仍然存在着一些不可回避的难题。

Prescribing Jewish Sensibilities Off-Label: A Reflective Essay

ABSTRACT

When Jewish Sensibilities were formulated (2003) as a framework, it was not for the purpose of teaching Jews how or why to be Jewish. Rather, Jewish Sensibilities were a way for Jews to reflect on the Jewish content already in their lives; they also allowed practitioners in the field of health care to think about the Jewish patients and families they were encountering with greater comprehension and compassion. But of late, Jewish Sensibilities have been used in an “off-label way” to teach Jewish wisdom and codes of behavior to those who are unfamiliar with them. This article considers the efficacy of that strategy.     

Emerging Issues in Academic Library Cataloging & Technical Services

This article responds to Jonathan Tuttle's article “The Aphasia of Modern Subject Access” in which Roman Jakobson's semiology of “shared codes” consisting of preexisting signs is offered as the explanation for two redundant linguistic tools associated with cataloging: LCSH and LCC. The article criticizes Tuttle's terminology, his semiology, and his argument that selection and combination are both necessary for the operation of language but each are associated with only one of these tools.

“The Aphasia of Modern Subject Access” by Jonathan Tuttle appears in Cataloging &; Classification Quarterly, Vol. 50, Issue 4, 2012, pp. 263—275. doi: 10.1080/01639374.2011.641199. Jonathan Tuttle's “Jakobsonian Library Science? A Response to David Bade” appears in Cataloging &; Classification Quarterly, Vol. 51, Issue 4, 2013, pp. 439—440. doi: 10.1080/01639374.2013.763321.
