© 2016 Regents of the University of California.The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,062 new measurements from 721 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as supersymmetric particles, heavy bosons, axions, dark photons, etc. All the particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We also give numerous (...) tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Higgs Boson Physics, Supersymmetry, Grand Unified Theories, Neutrino Mixing, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Cosmology, Particle Detectors, Colliders, Probability and Statistics. Among the 117 reviews are many that are new or heavily revised, including those on Pentaquarks and Inflation. The complete Review is published online in a journal and on the website of the Particle Data Group. The printed PDG Book contains the Summary Tables and all review articles but no longer includes the detailed tables from the Particle Listings. A Booklet with the Summary Tables and abbreviated versions of some of the review articles is also available. (shrink)

Bespiegelingen over collectieve schuld en symbolische identiteit, waarmee Duitsers nog steeds worstelen. Uiteindelijk zijn ook de Duitse oorlogsmisdaden terug te brengen tot een menselijk tekort, een probleem van de menselijke psyche in het algemeen.

Designed as a companion to the study of apologetics and philosophy of religion, this pocket dictionary by C. Stephen Evans offers 300 entries covering terms, apologists, philosophers, movements, apologetic arguments and theologies.

Whether the interpretations made by social scientists of the thoughts, utterances and actions of other people, including those from an alien culture or a different period in history, are objectively correct, whether the forms of explanation they employ conform to those of the natural sciences, and whether values have a role in arriving at the theory that delivers the interpretations, are the main questions addressed by the contributors to this volume. Of particular importance in the discussion of the issues are (...) developments in the philosophy of language and mind. The eight essays converge on the themes of intentionality, realism and theory choice, reflecting the amount of attention being given to these matters when this book was first published in 1980. Together they make a distinguished contribution to discussion in the area and serve to underline the importance of intellectual collaboration on such discussion between philosophy and the social sciences.

Dans son De abstinentia, cette fervente apologie du végétarisme, Porphyre s'élève nécessaire pour pouvoir vivre „selon l'esprit”. Notre esprit est par sa nature „impassible”, disent-ils, et son activité n'est même pas entravée par les affections sensibles que nous éprouvons. Il ne faut donc pas se soucier de ce qu'on mange : tout cela est indifférent à la vie de l'esprit. Cette conception a corrompu même beaucoup de „barbares” : par mépris de ce monde ils se sont jetés sur tout forme (...) de plaisir pensant qu'ils ne peuvent être souillés par aucune chose matérielle à cause de „la profondeur de leur liberté”. Ces barbares critiqués par Porphyr sont des gnostiques, comme on peut le démontrer par plusieurs textes parallèles. La mêmes critique de leur indifférentisme éthique se rencontre déjà chez Plotin (II, 9). On ne peut pourtant nier qu'il y a une certaine ressemblance entre la conception gnostique et la doctrine plotinienne de l'âme. Pour Plotin l'âme ne descend jamais tout entière dans la génération : sa partie supérieure reste „en haut”, toujours pensant et impassible. Probablement, il y avait des gens dans le groupe de Plotin qui associaient ses idées à la conception gnostique de l'esprit „inaltérable” et en tiraient les mêmes conséquences amorales. Ce sont eux qui sont visés par Porphyre dans De abst., I, p. 113-118. (shrink)
