Distinguishing three levels in explicit self-awareness.L.Legrain,A. Cleeremans &A. Destrebecqz -2011 -Consciousness and Cognition 20 (3):578-585.detailsThis paper focuses on the development of explicit self-awareness in children. Mirror self-recognition has been the most popular paradigm used to assess this ability in children. Nevertheless, according to Rochat , there are, at least, three different levels of explicit self-awareness. We therefore designed three different self-recognition tasks, each corresponding to one of these levels . We observed a decrease in performance across the three tasks. This supports a developmental scale in self-awareness. Besides, the masked self-recognition performance makes it possible (...) to assess the final and the most sophisticated level of self-awareness, i.e. the external self. To our best knowledge, this task is the first attempt to evaluate the external self in preverbal children. Our results indicate that 22-month old children show awareness of their external self or, at least, that this ability is in the process of being acquired. (shrink)

More Than Kings and Less Than Men: Tocqueville on the Promise and Perils of Democratic Individualism.L. Joseph Hebert -2010 - Lexington Books.detailsThis book explains why Tocqueville saw the central task of modern statesmanship as combating 'individualism,' a type of civic apathy that he thought capable of robbing modern citizens of human virtue and issuing in a historically unprecedented form of despotism. It looks in depth at the mechanisms he proposed for avoiding the perils and securing the promise of democracy in his own day, and discusses how Tocqueville's insights might be applied in our own time.
Vertitvr Vertvmnvs.O. L. Richmond -1929 -Classical Quarterly 23 (3-4):177-.detailsToo late for my edition of Propertius, but in time, I hope, to anticipate one criticism of the many that will be aimed at its details, I have detected a serious flaw in my text of his elegy upon Vertumnus . It is not so serious as some of the flaws caused in it by the corruption of our archetype; but instead of helping I have hindered truth in respect of two of the couplets. Now I should like to put (...) forward a correction, which seems to set us in a fair way to recover the authors's pattern, as well as his words, in the second half of the elegy. (shrink)
External validity of social psychological experiments is a concern, but these models are useful.Youri L. Mora,Olivier Klein,Christophe Leys &Annique Smeding -2022 -Behavioral and Brain Sciences 45.detailsWe agree that external validity of social psychological experiments is a concern, we disagree these models are useless. Experiments, reconsidered from a situated cognition perspective and non-linearly combined with other methods allow grasping decision dynamics beyond bias outcomes. Dynamic insights regarding these processes are key to understand missing forces and bias in real-world social groups.
Plausibility, necessity and identity: A logic of relative plausibility.L. I. Xiaowu &W. E. N. Xuefeng -2007 -Frontiers of Philosophy in China 2 (4):629-644.detailsWe construct a Hilbert style system RPL for the notion of plausibility measure introduced by Halpern J, and we prove the soundness and completeness with respect to a neighborhood style semantics. Using the language of RPL, we demonstrate that it can define well-studied notions of necessity, conditionals and propositional identity.
