Clio in the Clinic
Twenty-three physicians, all accomplished historicans, write autobiographically about their use of history in medical practice, from the making of a diagnosis, to consolation & encouragement.
Drugs on Trial
This book describes the main issues of eighteenth-century pharmacology and therapeutics and provides detailed case studies of three key areas: lithontriptics (remedies against urinary stones), opium, and Peruvian bark (quinine).
Citizenship And Identity
Offering an analysis of contemporary politics and of the scepticism and apathy which characterise the political life of modern democracies, this book develops a republican perspective as an alternative framework for political institutions.
Jacob & Esau
Accommodates both the cosmopolitan narrative of the Jewish diaspora with traditional Jews and their culture.
Interpretation
The act of interpretation occurs in nearly every area of the arts and sciences. That ubiquity serves as the inspiration for the fourteen essays of this volume, covering many of the domains in which interpretive practices are found. Individual topics include: the general nature of interpretation and its forms; comparing and contrasting interpretation and hermeneutics; culture as interpretation seen through Hegel’s aesthetics; interpreting philosophical texts; methodologies for interpreting human action; interpretation in medical practice focusing on manifestations as indicators of disease; the brain and its interpretative, structured, learning and storage processes; interpreting hybrid wines and cognitive preconceptions of novel objects; and the importance of sensory perception as means of interpreting in the case of dry German Rieslings. In an interesting turn, Nicholas Rescher writes on the interpretation of philosophical texts. Then Catherine Wilson and Andreas Blank explicate and critique Rescher’s theories through analysis of the mill passage from Leibniz’s Monadology.
