    This essay explores some concerns about the quality of informed consent in patients whose autonomy is diminished by fatal illness. It argues that patients with diminished autonomy cannot give free and voluntary consent, and that recruitment of such patients as subjects in human experimentation exploits their vulnerability in a morally objectionable way. Two options are given to overcome this objection: (i) recruit only those patients who desire to contribute to medical knowledge, rather than gain access to experimental treatment, or (ii) (...)

    Moral Philosophy: An Historical and Critical Survey of the Great Systems. [REVIEW]P. H. B. - 1964 - Review of Metaphysics 18 (1):179-180.
    A massive undertaking which the author hopes will help the reader "to discern the nature of the ills which beset moral philosophy in our time, and above all to recognize, in actu exercito, the philosophical bases of ethics and the value of the primary concepts which it brings into play." Employing what he calls "the method used with such care by Aristotle," Maritain begins with the discovery of ethics by Socrates, moves on to the impact of Christianity upon moral philosophy, (...)

    The Allure of Connectionism Reexamined.B. P. McLaughlin & T. A. Warfield - 1994 - Synthese 101 (3):365 - 400.
    There is currently a debate over whether cognitive architecture is classical or connectionist in nature. One finds the following three comparisons between classical architecture and connectionist architecture made in the pro-connectionist literature in this debate: (1) connectionist architecture is neurally plausible and classical architecture is not; (2) connectionist architecture is far better suited to model pattern recognition capacities than is classical architecture; and (3) connectionist architecture is far better suited to model the acquisition of pattern recognition capacities by learning than (...)

    Philosophy, Rhetoric, and Argumentation. [REVIEW]P. H. B. - 1965 - Review of Metaphysics 19 (2):389-389.
    Containing essays on the nature and scope of rhetoric, as well as philosophical analyses of persuasion and argumentation, this book claims to deal with a "new field of philosophy" in which "the concepts of rhetoric and argumentation, including the rhetoric and argumentation of the philosopher himself, are subjected to philosophical scrutiny." Leaving aside the "newness" of such an endeavor, it is heartening to see new interest in the questions of rhetorical argument. Perhaps analytic philosophers should pay more attention to the (...)

    One of a series "designed to add to the growing body of historical material reevaluating the culture of Medieval Europe." This volume consists of short, lucid articles which explore some of the historical, philosophical and literary figures and developments of the Middle Ages. A lead article by Laurence K. Shook discusses the nature and value of medieval studies.—B. P. H.

    A Philosophy of God: The Elements of Thomist Natural Theology. [REVIEW]P. H. B. - 1964 - Review of Metaphysics 17 (3):477-477.
    A generally clear and well-written introduction to Thomistic natural theology which, like most such "textbook" treatments, suffers from too much commentary and too little Aquinas. The nature and existence of God are dealt with in some detail, and two interesting sections on "Invalid Reasons for Holding the Existence of God" and "Some Controverted Arguments" are included.--B.

    Yet another development of the natural theology of Thomas Aquinas aimed at the undergraduate. The approach is traditional and clearly stated. Each chapter begins with an outline and ends with a list of leading ideas and supplementary readings. Judicious use of charts and diagrams helps to clarify the more difficult terms.--B. P. H.

    Das Prinzip Handlung in der Philosophie Kants. [REVIEW]B. P. R. - 1980 - Review of Metaphysics 33 (4):786-788.
    The author of this rather lengthy book proposes another way of obtaining a glance at the "heretofore rarely seen unity of the Kantian system." He suggests a common theme present in and often foundational for, many of Kant’s reflections, the notion of "action" ; more generally the notion of the human subject itself as a kind of Handlung. Such a project is certainly a plausible one. Kant’s frequent use of notions like spontaneity, self-legislation, freedom, and others make the prospects for (...)

In doing so, he uses the full resources of the available Heideggerian corpus. He likewise brings to bear a sure grasp of the considerable pertinent secondary literature.

    What Modern Catholics Think About Birth Control. [REVIEW]P. H. B. - 1965 - Review of Metaphysics 19 (1):165-167.
    This is a provocative and important book. Most of its essays by Catholic laymen strongly criticize the Church's traditional stand against "artificial" contraception. The objections against the approved rhythm method, the critical analysis of arguments from "natural law" on theological as well as philosophical grounds, and the attempt to develop a more meaningful Christian approach to sexuality seem certain to raise angry rebuttals from many clergy and a good number of the more conservative laity in the Church. Here we have (...)

    Professor MacIntyre has here collected twenty-three of his essays. They range in topics from discussions of psychoanalysis to the relation between reasons and causes in accounts of human action. Indeed, the very range of such issues is part of the point of the book itself.

    Die Entstehung der kritischen Rechtsphilosophie Kants 1762-1780. [REVIEW]B. P. R. - 1980 - Review of Metaphysics 34 (2):373-374.
    A careful, detailed, summary and interpretation of the development of Kant’s views on political philosophy from his early denial that the concept of obligation could be derived from Wolff’s Naturkausalität until all the major elements of his own Rechtsphilosophie could be identified. The major source for the author’s reconstruction of these largely unpublished views is, of necessity, the large volume of disorganized, problematically dated Reflexionen, and student transcripts and summaries of his lectures. He convincingly organizes these materials into four main (...)

    Plato and Heidegger. [REVIEW]P. D. B. - 1982 - Review of Metaphysics 36 (1):210-212.
    The task which Wolz sets himself in this work has two parts. First, he wants to rescue Plato from the Platonists, from those who overlook the dramatic dimensions of the dialogues and try to present Plato as a someone who adheres dogmatically to a settled doctrine. The literalness of the Platonists' reading of the dialogues leads them to neglect the searching nature of Plato's thought which, according to Wolz, remains Socratic and "liberal." In the words of Wolz's subtitle, Plato is (...)

    Space and Incongruence. [REVIEW]B. P. R. - 1982 - Review of Metaphysics 35 (4):856-859.
    At various times in his "Pre-critical" and "Critical" periods, Kant presented an argument about the nature of space that has come to be called the "Incongruous Counterparts" argument. First presented in his 1768 essay, Concerning the Ultimate Foundation for the Differentiation of Regions in Space, the argument holds that two objects, such as two human hands, might be exact counterparts, that is, identical in "size and proportion and... the situation of the parts relative to each other," and yet might be (...)

    Kant. The Architectonic and Development of His Philosophy. [REVIEW]B. P. R. - 1981 - Review of Metaphysics 34 (4):813-814.
    Sympathetic interpretations of Kant’s frequently stressed characterizations of his "architectonic" approach to philosophy are rare. As much as such an approach seemed to gratify Kant, it has embarrassed commentators, who have complained for generations about the "Procrustean bed" or ad hoc quality of Kant’s meta-philosophical principles. The author of this book proposes to take quite seriously the idea of a "unity in Kant’s thinking," but his approach to such an issue is historical and, for the most part, unsystematic. That is, (...)

    Practice and Realization. Studies in Kant's Moral Philosophy. [REVIEW]B. P. R. - 1981 - Review of Metaphysics 35 (1):161-163.
    Rotenstreich has here brought together several themes traditionally considered marginal in Kant's overall moral theory, themes which all bear on what the author calls the problem of the "realization" of moral practice. We are thereby offered not a discussion of such well known Kantian issues as the meta-ethical foundations for moral theory or the moral theory itself, but the Kantian account of a fully human moral agent, struggling to realize a moral ideal. The author suggests that this account is the (...)

    Der Weg vom Bewusstsein Zum Sein. [REVIEW]P. D. B. - 1982 - Review of Metaphysics 36 (1):170-172.
    Kuhn's book explicitly aims to reassert the validity of the tradition of western metaphysics, with its central tenet that truth about permanent essences can be achieved, against the challenges raised on the one hand by historicism and on the other by what he characterizes as a structuralism unceremoniously committed to agnosticism. But his work is not primarily polemical. Rather it proposes its own systematic, phenomenological account of human experience.

    Kant. [REVIEW]B. P. R. - 1979 - Review of Metaphysics 33 (2):448-450.
    There is a central issue which runs through most of the details of Walker’s interpretation—the relationship between what he calls, taking his cue from Strawson, "transcendental idealism" and "transcendental arguments." He argues often and, I think, correctly, that the contemporary attempt to reconstruct Kant "austerely" in terms of transcendental arguments alone is misguided, that transcendental arguments about "what must be the case in order for there to be experience at all" cannot accomplish their task, and that we should rest content (...)

    Kant’s Theory of Morals. [REVIEW]B. P. R. - 1980 - Review of Metaphysics 34 (2):369-371.
    As the interesting title of this work indicates, its author is concerned less with Kant’s theory of morality, with its account of freedom, the possibility of pure reason being practical, and the deduction of the moral law, than he is with Kant’s Sittenlehre, or the account of the moral law as applied, moral judgment, and the substantive, derived duties of justice and virtue. Accordingly, he concentrates almost exclusively on two texts. The first four chapters are a commentary on and assessment (...)

    The author of this polemical book directs his attack more against what he sees as the overwhelmingly dominant "Kantianism" of "contemporary scientific thinking" than against the "Kant" of his title. This is, his book is much more a very general indictment of the "spirit" of this modern mode of knowing, than anything approaching an examination of Kant’s views.

    Is Classical Reality Completely Deterministic?B. P. Kosyakov - 2008 - Foundations of Physics 38 (1):76-88.
    We interpret the concept of determinism for a classical system as the requirement that the solution to the Cauchy problem for the equations of motion governing this system be unique. This requirement is generally believed to hold for all autonomous classical systems. Our analysis of classical electrodynamics in a world with one temporal and one spatial dimension provides counterexamples of this belief. Given the initial conditions of a particular type, the Cauchy problem may have an infinite set of solutions. Therefore, (...)

    Qualitative and Dynamical Analysis of a Bionomic Fishery Model with Prey Refuge.B. P. Sarangi & S. N. Raw - 2022 - Acta Biotheoretica 70 (1):1-38.
    Predation and escaping from predation through hiding are two fundamental phenomena in ecology. The most common approach to reducing the chance of predation is to use a refuge. Here, we consider a three species fishery model system with prey refuge induced by a Holling type-II functional response. These three species of fish populations are named prey, middle predator, and top predator. Harvesting is employed in most fishery models to achieve both ecological and commercial benefits. Research proves that non-linear harvesting (Michaelis–Menten (...)
