Review of Ronald Dworkin, TAKING RIGHTS SERIOUSLY

Academia Oncology, 2024

Academia.edu launched a new open-access journal, Academia Oncology. This journal aims to be a platform for all aspects of cancer research, varying from cancer causes, prevention, diagnostics, and treatment, including supportive care, palliation and end of life care. Academia Oncology aims to be in the center of a spider’s web (Figure 1) connecting all these disciplines. Although there are many journals focusing on one or more aspects of oncology, few journals aim toconnect these different fields. This is exactly the mission of Academia Oncology (Table 1).

Physicalists commonly argue that conscious experiences are nothing more than states of the brain, and that conscious qualia are observer-independent, physical properties of the external world. Although this assumes the 'mantle of science,' it routinely ignores the findings of science, for example in sensory physiology, perception, psychophysics, neuropsychology and comparative psychology. Consequently, although physicalism aims to naturalise consciousness, it gives an unnatural account of it. It is possible, however, to develop a natural, nonreductive, reflexive model of how consciousness relates to the brain and the physical world. This paper introduces such a model and how it construes the nature of conscious experience. Within this model the physical world as perceived (the phenomenal world) is viewed as part of conscious experience not apart from it. While in everyday life we treat this phenomenal world as if it is the "physical world", it is really just one biologically useful representation of what the world is like that may differ in many respects from the world described by physics. How the world as perceived relates to the world as described by physics can be investigated by normal science (e.g. through the study of sensory physiology, psychophysics and so on). This model of consciousness appears to be consistent with both third-person evidence of how the brain works and with first-person evidence of what it is like to have a given experience. According to the reflexive model, conscious experiences are really how they seem.

MAGHREB ET MEDITERRANEE (2008) Quelques questionnements sur les options de la géopolitique Grigori Lazarev. Communication au Forum du Haut-Commissariat au Plan du Maroc sur l’Union Méditerranéenne et Article publié dans la revue Géo-Economie, Paris, 2008 « Quelle Union Méditerranéenne ? » La construction du Maghreb et la régionalisation politique et économique de la Méditerranée ont chacune leurs logiques propres mais en même temps elles ont des interactions extrêmement fortes. Ces interactions résultent de l'histoire, des complémentarités économiques, des relations entre les populations. Elles se compliquent aussi des interférences complexes des pays du Maghreb avec l'Union Européenne, avec le monde arabe, avec l'Afrique, avec les pays émergents de la mondialisation. Les questionnements qui en résultent sont déterminants des réflexions qui pourront être faites sur le futur du Maghreb dans son environnement régional méditerranéen. C'est à in tel survol que convie cet article.

This paper focuses on the attitudes towards a non-standard L1 variety of English spoken in South Africa, namely South African Indian English (SAIE). The attitudes of the participants are considered against the backdrop of the socio-political history of this variety and its speakers, and in contrast to their attitudes to what is perceive as 'good' English. While the research methodology is primarily based on lengthy, semistructured interviews with twenty young South African Indians (i.e. in-group members), the paper also includes a discussion of some of the linguistic features of SAIE, which is mainly motivated by methodological considerations. Through an examination of SAIE wh-questions, we show that the grammar of this variety differs systematically from that of standard English. Using examples of these whquestions, we elicited grammatical judgments from participants and compared these judgments to the attitudes of the participants as expressed in response to open-ended questions in interviews. On the basis of the empirical data that we obtained and analyzed, we argue that the young South African Indian students who participated in our study have a profoundly ambiguous attitude towards the variety associated with their own ethno-linguistic group.
