Anderson -unknowndetailsThis report describes the rationale, approaches, organization, and resource development leading to a large-scale deletion bin map of the hexaploid wheat genome. Accompanying reports in this issue detail results from chromosome bin-mapping of expressed sequence tags representing genes onto the seven homoeologous chromosome groups and a global analysis of the entire mapped wheat EST data set. Among the resources developed were the first extensive public wheat EST collection. Described are protocols for sequencing, sequence processing, EST nomenclature, and the assembly of (...) ESTs into contigs. These contigs plus singletons were used for selection of distinct sequence motif unigenes. Selected ESTs were rearrayed, validated by 5′ and 3′ sequencing, and amplified for probing a series of wheat aneuploid and deletion stocks. Images and data for all Southern hybridizations were deposited in databases and were used by the coordinators for each of the seven homoeologous chromosome groups to validate the mapping results. Results from this project have established the foundation for future developments in wheat genomics. (shrink)

Semiotics 1996.C. W. Spinks &John Deely (eds.) -1996 - Peter Lang Publishers.detailsOver the past twenty years, the annual meetings of the Semiotic Society of America have tracked the growth and development of modern sign theory in American scholarship. Since 1981, the published proceedings of SSA meetings have included representative semiotic work from a wide range of disciplines and every extant -system- of semiotic thought. The papers have especially represented some of the leading intellectual descendants of C.S. Peirce and Ferdinand de Saussure in the United States and Canada. On this ground, the (...) series remains the primary record of North American contributions to sign perspectives, embracing world-wide philosophical, literary, and scientific bases for a 21st-century -doctrine of signs-. The proceedings project has consistently pursued excellent scholarship, representative diversity, and quality production. With publication of Semiotics 1996, general editor John Deely and the Semiotic Society continue the record of -representing- American semiotics. The SSA also plan to incorporate more voices from Mexico in an effort to achieve a comprehensive North American -semiotic- which is strongly linked to practical and theoretical developments across the world.".

Kant: An Introduction.C. Lewy (ed.) -1978 - Cambridge University Press.detailsA critical and detailed introduction to Kant's philosophy, with particular reference to the Critique of Pure Reason. Since Broad's death there have been many publications on Kant but Broad's 1978 book still finds a definite place between the very general surveys and the more specialised commentaries. He offers a characteristically clear, judicious and direct account of Kant's work; his criticisms are acute and sympathetic, reminding us forcefully that 'Kant's mistakes are usually more important than other people's correctitudes'. C.D. Broad was (...) Knightsbridge Professor of Moral Philosophy at Cambridge from 1933 to 1953, and this book is based on his undergraduate lectures on Kant. Broad died in 1971 and Dr Lewy has since edited the book for publication. (shrink)
Pleasure, mind, and soul: selected papers in ancient philosophy.C. C. W. Taylor -2007 - New York: Oxford University Press.detailsC. C. W. Taylor presents a selection of his essays in ancient philosophy, drawn from forty years of writings on the subject. The central theme of the volume is the moral psychology of Plato and Aristotle, with a special focus on pleasure and related concepts, an area central to Greek ethical thought. Taylor also discusses Socrates and the Greek atomists, showing how Plato's ethics grows out of the thought of Socrates, and that pleasure is also a central concept for the (...) atomists. Pleasure, Mind, and Soul provides a fascinating survey of a range of important topics in the work of some of the greatest ancient philosophers, and which remain the subject of lively philosophical debate today.

Living accountably: accountability as a virtue.C. Stephen Evans -2023 - Oxford: Oxford University Press.detailsIn contemporary culture, accountability is usually understood in terms of holding people who have done something wrong accountable for their actions. As such, it is virtually synonymous with punishing someone. Living Accountably argues that accountability should also be understood as a significant, forward-looking virtue, an excellence possessed by those who willingly embrace being accountable to those who have proper standing, when that standing is exercised appropriately. Those who have this virtue are people who strive to live accountably. The book gives (...) a fine-grained description of the virtue and how it is exercised, including an account of the motivational profile of the one who has the virtue. It examines the relation of accountability to other virtues, such as honesty and humility, as well as opposing vices, such as self-deception, arrogance, and servility. Though the virtue of accountability is compatible with individual autonomy, recognizing the importance of the virtue does justice to the social character of human persons. C. Stephen Evans also explores the history of this virtue in other cultures and historical eras, providing evidence that the virtue is widely recognized, even if it is somewhat eclipsed in modern western societies. Accountability is also a virtue that connects ethical life with religious life for many people, since it is common for people to have a sense that they are accountable in a global way for how they live their lives. Living Accountably explores the question as to whether global accountability can be understood in a purely secular way, as accountability to other humans, or whether it must be understood as accountability to God, or some other transcendent reality.

Bultmann et l'exégèse d'aujourd'hui.C. Perrot -1995 -Recherches de Science Religieuse 83 (4):543-555.detailsPeu cité de nos jours par les exégètes, si ce n’est pour redresser ses méthodes ou pour contester et dépasser ses conclusions , Bultmann n’en reste pas moins présent aux grands questionnements bibliques de notre temps : parce qu’il en a été souvent l’initiateur , mais tout autant parce que plusieurs de ses intuitions sont définitivement acquises et parce que, de toutes façons, les problèmes qu’il a soulevés demeurent.Le grand procès intenté à Bultmann, par ses propres disciples en premier lieu, (...) concerne son traitement négatif de l’historicité de Jésus. Les recherches entreprises depuis lors sur ce chapitre aboutissent cependant à des résultats assez proches des siens, mais elles sont libérées du positivisme historiciste auquel il a paru succomber .Un autre contentieux vient de son herméneutique, démythologisante et existentiale. Relativisée et rectifiée , l’ouverture de l’exégèse à la tâche herméneutique est largement pratiquée aujourd’hui et reste le principal titre de Bultmann à la reconnaissance des exégètes.Infrequently cited today by exegetes, unless to correct his methodology or to contest and go beyond his conclusions , Bultmann, nevertheless, remains present to the great biblical questions of our time. This is true because he was often the initiator , but just as much because many of his intuitions are definitively accepted and because, at any rate, the problems he brought up remain.The case brought against Bultmann, beginning with his own disciples, concerns the negative treatment of the historicity of Jesus. Since them, the research done on this question ends up, nevertheless, very close to his, but it has been freed from the historical positivism of which he seemed to have been a victim .Another disagreement comes from his demythologizing and existential hermeneutics. Relativized and rectified , the opening of exegesis to the hermeneutical task is largely practiced today and remains the principal fame of Bultmann, to thom exegetes are grateful. (shrink)
