Lun Yu, a masterpiece of ancient Chinese philosophy, is among the most influential books in Chinese history. Legge's English translation of Lun Yu has stood the test of time, distinguished as the standard work by which subsequent translations of the classics have been judged. The most remarkable quality of Legge's version is its faithfulness in content, owing to Legge's scholarly industry and keen perception of the original. Legge ensured a comprehension of Confucianism from his readership which is similar to the general Chinese interpretation. In spite of some referential and pragmatic inaccuracy, any careful, patient and judicious Western reader is able to perceive Confucius' key concepts (Ren, Li, etc.), and his ethical, political, philosophical and educational thoughts through Legge...
Unlike the "safe sex" philosophy of the 1980s, a new wave of thought has emerged along with the science of HIV medications. Some literature calls it a "freedom" revolution from the confines of condoms, but people like [Glen Bloomstrand] say a life dictated by drug cocktails isn't all it's cracked up to be. I'm not giving up," he says. "I'm doing it my way. "I just laughed it off, give me a pill and it'll go away," he said, reflecting on how he felt when he first heard he was HIV positive. "Unfortunately, that wasn't the case."
The debate regarding Canadian training models continues today. Despite the disagreements, empirical research on the scientistpractitioner model in Canada is scant. Indeed, implementation of science training in clinical psychology programmes has not been systematically studied (Merlo, Collins, & Bernstein, 2008). The paucity of empirical research is made worse because student opinions on the matter have largely been unsolicited. Preliminary evidence suggests that American student opinions regarding the scientist-practitioner model vary widely, with some being staunch advocates and others describing it as a training anachronism ([Aspenson] et al., 1993). More recently, the Council of University Directors of Clinical Psychology (CUDCP) - a nonprofit organisation whose purpose is to fur...

At any rate he resorts to some odd examples: "What is time? A child might say, 'It's that stuff that flows by even when you're standing still.' " (Aside from "might" being an incorrect verb tense, it is difficult to imagine a child talking that way.) A somewhat distracting feature of his style is the occasional folksy, informal commentary, such as "we'll examine the evidence," "we will explore," and so on. [Dan Falk] argues that [Albert Einstein] remains a pivotal figure in questions relating to time. Even though many of the dilemmas Falk identifies belong to philosophy as much as to science, thinkers trying to resolve them are intellectually standing on Einstein's shoulders.
Throughout the series, conventional threats are posed by German and Japanese agents and bombs; however, Nelvana's primary foes are Kablunets, Mammoth Men, and Ether People - as one observer has noted, like other war-time superheroes, Nelvana counted on the Canadian military to deal with the Axis powers while she focused her attentions on repelling alien attacks in the North (Bell 1992: 9).

FRENCH literary bad boy Michel Houellebecq's fourth novel, The Possibility of an Island, finds him rehashing -- refining, to be charitable -- ideas that he presented to great notoriety in his first three outings. Houellebecq's second novel, The Elementary Particles (2000), ended in odd fashion with one of the two central characters figuring out a way to achieve immortality through cloning. To what purpose, of course, it was not made clear. The novel, as much science fiction as philosophy or even pornography, alternates between [Daniel]'s narration and commentary on his life story by his 24th and 25th clones, Daniel24 and Daniel25, "neohumans" fenced off from marauding bands of non-cloned human descendants.
By Rev. Michael Skliros In his latest book, "The Grand Design," Prof. Stephen Hawking says that the 1992 discovery of a planet orbiting a star other than the sun demolished the "Goldilocks" view of Isaac Newton, which was that the unique position of the earth -- not too hot, not too cold, but just right for allowing life -- could not have arisen out of chaos but must have been purposefully created, by God. The difference between us, roughly speaking, was that whereas I struggled with Poisson regression analysis, he mailed the textbook back to the author, marking all the errors in his reasoning. If you lift it beyond the Milky Way, its gravitational pull towards the classroom floor is reduced to zero -- teacher's head and the pail of water now have zero gravitational energy.
Recent studies of publication patterns in accounting history portray a myopic and introspective discipline. Analyses reveal the production and dissemination of accounting history knowledge which focus predominantly on Anglo-American settings and the age of modernity. Limited opportunities exist for contributions from scholars working in languages other than English. Many of the practitioners of accounting history are also shown to be substantially disconnected from the wider community of historians. It is argued in the current paper that interdisciplinary history has the potential to enhance theoretical and methodological creativity and greater inclusivity in the accounting history academy. A practical requirement for this venture is the identification of points of connectedness between...
