- Of Boldness and Badness: Insights into Workplace Malfeasance from a Triarchic Psychopathy Model Perspective.Bryan Neo,Martin Sellbom,Sarah F.Smith &Scott O. Lilienfeld -2018 -Journal of Business Ethics 149 (1):187-205.Research has shown that individuals with high levels of psychopathic personality traits are likely to cause harm to others in the workplace. However, there is little academic literature on the potentially adaptive outcomes of corporate psychopathy, particularly because the “boldness” psychopathy domain has largely been under-acknowledged in this literature. This study aimed to elaborate on past findings by examining the associations between psychopathy, as operationalized using scales from the relatively new triarchic model of psychopathy, and both adaptive and maladaptive workplace (...) behaviors. Participants were 343 working community adults who completed a series of self-report questionnaires that measured psychopathy and various workplace behaviors, including counterproductive work behaviors, tactics of influence, unethical decision-making, leadership strategies, team play, and creativity. Structural equation modeling was used to estimate the associations between latent constructs of boldness, meanness, and disinhibition, and the eight different constructs related to workplace behaviors. It was found that boldness preferentially predicted the use of soft tactics of influence, adaptive leadership, and team play, and negatively predicted passive leadership. Meanness predicted unethical decision-making, poor team play, and hard tactics of influence. Disinhibition positively predicted CWB and passive leadership. Meanness also moderated the association between disinhibition and CWB, in that greater scores on both psychopathy domains indicated greater levels of CWB. These findings provide conceptual support for the triarchic model, including the “boldness” domain, which measures adaptive aspects of psychopathy in addition to maladaptive ones, as well as suggest that not all individuals high on psychopathy would be an overt menace to the workplace. The different psychopathy traits may also interact with each other to predict different types or levels of workplace behaviors. (shrink)

- Transatlanticism: A fading paradigm?GilesScott-Smith -2024 -Diogenes 65 (1):97-109.In 2018, the first full year of the Trump presidency, it became abundantly clear that the transatlantic relationship had entered a period of intense discord, causing a series of pessimistic reports and commentary in the mainstream Anglo-American media. With this as the starting point, the article re-examines the study of the ‘transatlantic’ as a region. It engages with thinking of time (periodisation), space (scale), and discipline (methodology) in order to question standard assumptions and open up new avenues for research, identity-formation, (...) and emancipatory commitment.

- Information needs and development of a question prompt sheet for upper extremity vascularized composite allotransplantation: A mixed methods study.Jessica Gacki-Smith,Brianna R. Kuramitsu,Max Downey,Karen B. Vanterpool,Michelle J. Nordstrom,Michelle Luken,Tiffany Riggleman,Withney Altema,Shannon Fichter,Carisa M. Cooney,Greg A. Dumanian,Sally E. Jensen,Gerald Brandacher,Scott Tintle,Macey Levan &Elisa J. Gordon -2022 -Frontiers in Psychology 13.BackgroundPeople with upper extremity amputations report receiving insufficient information about treatment options. Furthermore, patients commonly report not knowing what questions to ask providers. A question prompt sheet, or list of questions, can support patient-centered care by empowering patients to ask questions important to them, promoting patient-provider communication, and increasing patient knowledge. This study assessed information needs among people with UE amputations about UE vascularized composite allotransplantation and developed a UE VCA-QPS.MethodsThis multi-site, cross-sectional, mixed-methods study involved in-depth and semi-structured interviews with (...) people with UE amputations to assess information needs and develop a UE VCA-QPS. Qualitative data were analyzed by thematic analysis; quantitative data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. The initial UE VCA-QPS included 130 items across 18 topics.ResultsEighty-nine people with UE amputations participated. Most were male, had a mean age of 46 years, and had a unilateral and below-elbow amputation. Participants desired information about UE VCA eligibility, evaluation process, surgery, risks, rehabilitation, and functional outcomes. After refinement, the final UE VCA-QPS included 35 items, across 9 topics. All items were written at a ≤ 6th grade reading level. Most semi-structured interview participants reported being ‘completely’ or ‘very’ likely to use a UE VCA-QPS.ConclusionPeople with UE amputations have extensive information needs about UE VCA. The UE VCA-QPS aims to address patients’ information needs and foster patient-centered care. Future research should assess whether the UE VCA-QPS facilitates patient-provider discussion and informed decision-making for UE VCA. (shrink)
- Propositions: Who Needs Them?R.ScottSmith -2022 -Philosophia Christi 24 (2):241-255.William Lane Craig maintains that propositions and properties are not real. Yet, if we examine his proposed nominalism and his appeal to Rudolf Carnap’s linguistic frameworks, we can find that his view depends upon their reality, even as abstract objects. By drawing upon phenomenological insights, I argue that if we pay close attention to what can be before our minds in conscious awareness, we can become aware that there is more to what is real than simple, concrete particulars, even in (...) his linguistic examples. We can become aware of the reality of Platonic, ante rem universals, including propositions and properties. (shrink)

- Virtue Ethics and Moral Knowledge: Philosophy of Language After MacIntyre and Hauerwas.R.ScottSmith -2003 - Routledge.We live in a time of moral confusion: many believe there are no overarching moral norms, and we have lost an accepted body of moral knowledge. Alasdair MacIntyre addresses this problem in his much-heralded restatement of Aristotelian and Thomistic virtue ethics; Stanley Hauerwas does so through his highly influential work in Christian ethics. Both recast virtue ethics in light of their interpretations of the later Wittgenstein's views of language. This book systematically assesses the underlying presuppositions of MacIntyre and Hauerwas, finding (...) that their attempts to secure moral knowledge and restate virtue ethics, both philosophical and theological, fail.ScottSmith proposes alternative indications as to how we can secure moral knowledge, and how we should proceed in virtue ethics.

- The Eads Bridge.HowardSmith Miller &QuintaScott -1999 - Missouri History Museum Press."Unlike most photographs of Eads Bridge, which are taken from a distance, QuintaScott's intimate photographic essay shows the subtleties of form and texture that give this structure its remarkable aesthetic impact. Howard Miller's text complements the photos, explaining the place of James Eads's unorthodox design in the history of American architecture and aesthetics. Miller also explains the bridge's place in local and national economic history, describes its innovative engineering, and brings to life its unique creator."--Jacket.

- Why Do SMEs Go Green? An Analysis of Wine Firms in South Africa.Ralph Hamann,JamesSmith,Pete Tashman &R.Scott Marshall -2017 -Business and Society 56 (1):23-56.Studies on why small and medium enterprises engage in pro-environmental behavior suggest that managers’ environmental responsibility plays a relatively greater role than competitiveness and legitimacy-seeking. These categories of drivers are mostly considered independent of each other. Using survey data and comparative case studies of wine firms in South Africa, this study finds that managers’ environmental responsibility is indeed the key driver in a context where state regulation hardly plays any role in regulating dispersed, rural firms. However, especially proactive firms are (...) also characterized by expectations of competitiveness gains. The authors thus emphasize the role of institutional context and potential interaction effects between these drivers in explaining the reasons why SMEs engage in pro-environmental behavior in developing countries.

- Le transatlantisme : un paradigme sur le déclin?GilesScott-Smith &Brigitte Rollet -2019 -Diogène n° 258-259-258 (2-4):221-236.En 2018, première véritable année de la présidence de Trump, il devint parfaitement clair que la relation transatlantique était entrée dans une phase de profond désaccord, suscitant quantités de témoignages et de commentaires pessimistes dans la presse anglo-américaine. A partir de ce constat, l’article reconsidère l’étude du « transatlantique » en tant qu’aire géographique. Il aborde la manière d’appréhender le temps (la périodisation), l’espace (l’échelle) et la discipline (la méthodologie) afin de remettre en question les hypothèses classiques et d’ouvrir de (...) nouvelles voies pour la recherche, la formation identitaire et l’engagement émancipateur.

- In search of moral knowledge: overcoming the fact-value dichotomy.R.ScottSmith -2014 - Downers Grove, Illinois: IVP Academic.For most of the church's history, people have seen Christian ethics as normative and universally applicable. Recently, however, this view has been lost, thanks to naturalism and relativism. R.ScottSmith argues that Christians need to overcome Kant's fact-value dichotomy and recover the possibility of genuine moral and theological knowledge.
- Christian Ideas as "Nonsense".L.ScottSmith -2017 -Process Studies 46 (2):186-205.The present article challenges the bifurcation of the world established by Kant, a bifurcation that continues to plague contemporary thinking about science, religion, and morality. This challenge is aided by Whitehead's alternative worldview.

- The Worship of God as “Sick Men’s Dreams”.L.ScottSmith -2018 -Process Studies 47 (1):111-129.This article analyzes David Hume’s influential critique of worship from a process point of view informed by the thought of Whitehead and Hartshorne.
- Finitude, Fallenness, and Immediacy.R.ScottSmith -2011 -Philosophia Christi 13 (1):105-126.Merold Westphal and James K. A.Smith argue forcefully that Christians should embrace the postmodern turn to interpretation. They draw upon Derrida and Heidegger, and they criticize Edmund Husserl’s “metaphysics of presence” and our ability to know reality directly. They reject his epistemology as modern and arrogant, as an attempt to gain pristine knowledge. But I argue that they radically misunderstand and therefore wrongly reject Husserl. This will allow me to show why their view, that “everything is interpretation,” is (...) mistaken. It also will allow me to show why Husserl’s earlier work shows us how we can know reality immediately. (shrink)

- Craig’s Nominalism and the High Cost of Preserving Divine Aseity.R.ScottSmith -2017 -European Journal for Philosophy of Religion 9 (1):87--107.William Lane Craig rejects Platonism (the view that uncreated abstract objects (AOs) exist) in favor of nominalism because he believes Platonism fatally compromises God’s aseity. For Craig, concrete particulars (including essences) exist, but properties do not. Yet, we use property-talk, following Carnap’s “linguistic frameworks.” There is, however, a high cost to Craig’s view. I survey his views and then explore the importance of essences. But, next, I show that his nominalism undermines them. Thus, we have just interpretations of reality. Worse, (...) nominalism undermines creation’s determinacy. Last, I suggest AOs are created, but in a more fundamental sense than Craig considers. (shrink)

- Does the idea of God belong in politics? A response to the "political liberalism: of John Rawls.L.ScottSmith -2018 -The Politics and Religion Journal 12 (2):265-284.This is a polemical essay providing an historical and cultural analysis of John Rawls’s political liberalism, and arguing that the “original position” in his philosophy is not only hypothetical, but also unrealistic by virtue of ignoring comprehensive religious and philosophical points of view. Rawls attempts to derive the ideas of liberty, equality, and fraternity from a mere thought experiment withoutconsidering the foundational role of the Christian religion, which was instrumental in the birth and refinement of these ideas.No categories

- Marketing research and corporate litigation ... Where is the balance of ethical justice?Scott M.Smith -1984 -Journal of Business Ethics 3 (3):185 - 194.Tampering with the judicial system has long been regarded as an unethical and illegal standard of corporate behavior. Advances in behavioral research have recently, however, skirted the letter of the law by applying consumer research techniques to the sampling universe from which prospective jurors are selected. This practice has resulted in an unfair and measurable advantage which offsets any balance of ethics and justice.This article adopts a protagonistic perspective to demonstrate research illustrating jury evaluation techniques. Because the legal system, which (...) is based on jurisprudence, does not have the ability or resources to monitor or regulate these practices, the question must be addressed within the domain of business ethics. ... Where does the balance of ethical justice lie? Is the sole objective to win and protect the bottom line of the corporate income statement, or does a code of business ethics apply? (shrink)
- Natural & Divine Law: Reclaiming the Tradition for Christian Ethics.R.ScottSmith -2001 -Philosophia Christi 3 (2):603-607.
- On Your Mark, Get Set, Develop!Daniel J.Smith &Scott A. Beaulier -2015 - In Peter J. Boettke & Christopher J. Coyne,The Oxford Handbook of Austrian Economics. Oxford University Press USA.One of the lingering questions for development economists is that of economic transition and whether development can be promoted by a strong political leader. Earlier writings on leadership and economic development tend to fall into one of two camps: leaders matter and can contribute positively to economic growth, or leaders seldom have positive effects and, at best, can avoid doing a great deal of harm. This article establishes a third option—a middle-ground position—between these two views. Good leadership can, indeed, have (...) a positive effect on economic growth but only during the initial moment when economic reform is up for grabs. Once the opportunity to implement sweeping reform has passed, interests become entrenched, and the opportunity for growth-enhancing reform passes. Bad leaders, on the other hand, can hamper economic growth in periods well beyond the ideal reform moment. (shrink)No categories

Piras &Carr J.Smith -2010 -The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly 10 (1):45-50.Gene therapy is the modification of the human genetic code to prevent disease or cure illness. This technology is in its infancy and remains confined to experimental clinical trials. Once the present barriers are overcome, gene therapy will confront humanity with a host of ethical challenges. Therapies targeted to the genes of germ-line cells will introduce permanent changes to the human gene pool. Furthermore, nonmedical gene modifications have the potential to introduce a new form of eugenics into our society by (...) which some members attempt to become inherently superior to others and humanity is re-engineered to man-made specifications.

- William Lane Craig’s Nominalism, Essences, and Implications for Our Knowledge of Reality.R.ScottSmith -2013 -Philosophia Christi 15 (2):365-382.William Lane Craig has claimed that Platonism is incompatible theologically with Christian theism in that it undermines God’s aseity. He develops three main objections to Platonism, as well as his own nominalist theory of reference, for which he draws from philosophy of language. However, I rebut his arguments. I argue that, unlike on Platonism, his view will not preserve a real essence of intentionality. Without that, his view undermines our abilities to know reality. As an implication, I also will highlight (...) the importance methodologically of approaching this issue from the primacy of the ontology of knowledge, not philosophy of language. (shrink)

- Aristotle, US Public Diplomacy, and the Cold War: The Work of Carnes Lord. [REVIEW]GilesScott-Smith -2008 -Foundations of Science 13 (3-4):251-264.Carnes Lord is an eminent Aristotelian scholar who has since the mid-1970s intermittently occupied positions within the United States government. This article considers the linkages between his writings on Aristotle and the standpoints he has adopted when in government, with particular reference to the period in the early 1980s when he fulfilled an important role in developing a public diplomacy and information strategy against the Soviet Union. Attention is given to Lord’s interpretation and application, in both his writings and his (...) policy-making, of several key aspects of Aristotle’s political thought, such as rhetoric, regimes, and education. The influence of Leo Strauss on Lord’s thinking is also taken into account. (shrink)

- Independent Review of Emerging Semantic Web Technologies Supporting the Defense Training Environment.Mark Philips,BarrySmith,Lowell Vizenor &Scott Streit -2010 - In Philips Mark, Smith Barry, Vizenor Lowell & Streit Scott,Joint Forces Command. Report.The Department of Defense is working at all levels to rationalize its data management strategy (Stenbit, 2003). However, though this strategy is broad in its application, its reach has thus far not extended to specialized areas of interest such as modeling and simulation. Now, however, the rapid development of net-centric technologies and methods provides new opportunities for the modeling and simulation community within the DoD and in fact offers opportunities to bring together communities of practice (such as C2, logistics) in (...) ways that can help to bring greater coordination in use of data and systems and enable more rapid configuration of models that can bridge separate domains.

- Biomedical imaging ontologies: A survey and proposal for future work.BarrySmith,Sivaram Arabandi,Mathias Brochhausen,Michael Calhoun,Paolo Ciccarese,Scott Doyle,Bernard Gibaud,Ilya Goldberg,Charles E. Kahn Jr,James Overton,John Tomaszewski &Metin Gurcan -2015 -Journal of Pathology Informatics 6 (37):37.Ontology is one strategy for promoting interoperability of heterogeneous data through consistent tagging. An ontology is a controlled structured vocabulary consisting of general terms (such as “cell” or “image” or “tissue” or “microscope”) that form the basis for such tagging. These terms are designed to represent the types of entities in the domain of reality that the ontology has been devised to capture; the terms are provided with logical defi nitions thereby also supporting reasoning over the tagged data. Aim: This (...) paper provides a survey of the biomedical imaging ontologies that have been developed thus far. It outlines the challenges, particularly faced by ontologies in the fields of histopathological imaging and image analysis, and suggests a strategy for addressing these challenges in the example domain of quantitative histopathology imaging. The ultimate goal is to support the multiscale understanding of disease that comes from using interoperable ontologies to integrate imaging data with clinical and genomics data. (shrink)

- A Christian View of “Faith” in God.L.ScottSmith -2019 -Philotheos 19 (1):5-21.While central to the Christian religion, the act of faith has been notoriously difficult to define. This essay is an attempt to illuminate, with the aid of insights from cognitive science and process philosophy, what it means for a Christian to have faith, specifically in God. In doing so, the apriori and aposteriori aspects of faith are explored, along with its connections to science and empirical evidence, revelation, knowledge, doubt, morality, and additional Christian beliefs.No categories

Through an extended analysis of the Environmental Genome Project (EGP), we offer new tools from the philosophy of science and from critical epidemiology to help bioethics to move ahead. Our aim in this paper is not to resolve the moral and conceptual problems we reveal, but rather to outline ways to prevent such problems from arising in (...) future research. (shrink)
