This discussion of the interaction between Thomas f. Torrance and Karl Barth first highlights how and why the doctrine of justification binds them together theologically, since each theologian applies this doctrine relentlessly to all aspects of theology. The article then explores how their views of religion illustrate their thinking. finally, it considers two areas of disagreement between Barth and Torrance regarding the issue of subordination within the doctrine of the Trinity and the possibility of natural theology.

This article examines Skinner's often neglected ideas about evolution, which he returns to in his final academic paper. I attempt to square Skinner's advocacy for evolutionary explanation, including his efforts to reconcile biological, individual, and cultural adaptation, with how he is framed and critiqued by a school of evolutionary psychologists who attribute to Skinner a blank slate, or so-called standard social science model, view of the mind. I argue that characterizing Skinner in this manner is inconsistent with his evolutionary writings and ignores Skinner's explicit disavowals of such interpretations. I then discuss Skinner's evolutionary views in light of contemporary evolutionary theories of human psychology. I also compare the reception to evolutionary psychology and Skinner within the field more generally and conclude by discussing the proposal that evolutionary psychology should be considered a new paradigm for psychology, a claim that seems to follow from evolutionary psychologists' caricature of Skinner.

This article critically evaluates the characterisation of sedition law as colonial by analysing the arguments made by J. f. Stephen in opposing such a claim. While Stephen obfuscated the close links between the sedition law and the requirements of colonial governance, he made a persuasive case for how the sedition law was completely consistent with British ideas of liberty, utility, and the rule of law. Stephen's arguments about legitimate limits to political liberties, particularly his critique of J. S. Mill in this regard, offer us an opportunity to question the presumed antithesis between colonial and metropolitan jurisprudence and trace their shared origins in British political thought. To that end, with Stephen as an interlocutor, this article critically analyses themes such as the defence of empire, colonialism, and the idea of improvement within a wider set of writings by British political philosophers, to arrive at an alternative understanding of British political liberalism. My article concludes that rather than 'colonial difference', the constitutive relation between sedition law and liberal jurisprudence better explains the prevalence of similar authoritarian laws within democratic regimes across the globe.

Pour f un corps p -adique et n ∈ N , n ⩾ 2 , on ne connaît pas, de façon générale, les représentations lisses irréductibles modulo p de GL n ( f ) . Le foncteur des invariants par le pro- p -Iwahori I ( 1 ) invite à les appréhender par l'étude des modules simples à droite sur l'algèbre de Hecke H f ¯ p ( GL n ( f ) , I ( 1 ) ) . Dans le cas n = 2 , on connaît les H f ¯ p ( GL n ( f ) , I ( 1 ) ) -modules simples ayant un caractère central. Parmi eux, on distingue les modules que l'on appelle « supersinguliers » : ils ne correspondent pas, via le foncteur des invariants par le pro- p -Iwahori, à des sous-quotients d'induites paraboliques de GL 2 ( f ) [M.-f. Vignéras, Représentations modulo p of the p -adic group GL 2 ( f ) , Compos. Math. 140 (2004) 333–358]. Nous considérons le cas n = 3 . Il s'agit de donner la classification des H f ¯ p ( GL 3 ( f ) , I ( 1 ) ) -modules simples ayant un caractère central et de décrire conjecturalement les modules supersinguliers. L'ensemble de ces modules supersinguliers est en bijection (non unique) avec l'ensemble des f ¯ p -représentations irréductibles de dimension 3 du groupe de Weil de f .

Parnasso in festa (HWV 73, 1734), George frideric Handel's festa teatrale, composed for the wedding festivities of his royal pupil Princess Anne, is a neglected piece within his oeuvre, mostly because of its hybrid nature. The fact that a considerable portion of the work was adapted from the Oxford oratorio Athalia ought not to cloud our appreciation of the newly-composed parts, since this appropriation is best understood as an act of Athalia's "repatriation" to its patrons. As a musical "centaur," Parnasso shows intriguing multi-layered ambiguities. Was the Janus-faced Handel (Apollo/Orpheus) lamenting the de-parture of his favorite, or was this a bitter-sweet celebration of an unwanted marriage? Dramatically, the focus falls on Apollo's and Orpheus's loss of their loved ones, but how does this fit together with the massive vocal domain of Carestini (Apollo) and Strada (Clio)? On the vocal side, Carestini was given the most virtuosic numbers, resulting in the musical polarization of the main roles. Anna Maria Strada, as a Muse, represented the pastoral side, while Carlo Scalzi (Orfeo) added plaintive pathetic arias to the palette. Nevertheless, harmonizing points both in Carestini's and Strada's musical style and vocal tone formed a "thread" that helped sew the diverse parts of the Parnasso-centaur together.

This article explores the work of the critic V.f. Perkins in the light of the concept of description, and vice versa. It argues that a range of distinct senses of description come together in Perkins's work, and uses that work to assist in the construction of some proposals about the function and value of description in films and film criticism. Perkins had, it is argued, a particular interest in films that explore what might be referred to as 'failures of redescription', including Max Ophuls's Letter from an Unknown Woman and Elia Kazan's America, America. His writings on these films are explored with a view to demonstrating the ways in which the descriptive practices Perkins used in his writing can bring out rich and fascinating connections between criticism as an ethical practice with affinities to moral philosophy (via a concern with appropriate act descriptions) and the descriptions that are traced by films themselves.

In the middle of the nineteenth century, advances in experimental psychology and the physiology of the sense organs inspired so-called Back to Kant Neo-Kantians to articulate robustly psychologistic visions of Kantian epistemology. But their accounts of the thing in itself were fraught with deep tension: they wanted to conceive of things in themselves as the causes of our sensations, while their own accounts of causal inference ruled that claim out. This paper diagnoses the source of that problem in views of one Neo-Kantan, f. A. Lange, and argues that it is solved only by Ernst Mach. No less than Lange and other Neo-Kantians, Mach was inspired to develop a psychologistic account of the foundations of knowledge, but his account also includes a coherent denial of things in themselves existence. finally, this paper uses this account of Lange and Mach on things in themselves to illuminate Mach's relation to a certain strain of the Neo-Kantian philosophy of his own time: his views constitute a more fully coherent version of the psychologistic theory of knowledge Back to Kant figures tried to articulate.

The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised, with follow-Up (M-CHAT-R/f) is the most widely used screener for ASD. Despite the comparable rate of ASD in Black and White children, the M-CHAT-R/f was validated on a primarily White, Non-Hispanic sample. few studies have assessed whether the screener performs adequately with racial minorities. This study compared the M-CHAT-R/f Positive Predictive Value (PPV), for ASD, and for any developmental condition, in Black and White children. We also examined M-CHAT-R/f item-level PPV by race. The PPVs for ASD and other developmental disorders were similar in both racial groups for total score and individual items. Therefore, our findings support the use of the M-CHAT-R/f with Black and White children.

The paper is about the Soviet philosopher Valentin ferdinandovich Asmus (1894-1975) and his criticism of the fascist and Nazi appropriation of Hegel's philosophy. The status of the Hegelian legacy was very controversial in Marxism-Leninism throughout the Stalinist era. Unlike the majority of Soviet academics of this time, Asmus did not recognize any valid intellectual legacy at the base of German fascism. Asmus heavily criticized attempts to portray Hegel as a pro-fascist thinker. When many Soviet philosophers defended only the method, dialectics, Asmus defended Hegel's social and political views as humanistic and liberal. The first part of the article describes the "official" Soviet philosophy within the context of which Asmus had to act. The second part offers a comprehensive analysis of the criticism of Hegel's fascist interpretation in Asmus' fascist falsification of Classical German Philosophy (1942).

This essay replies to f. Gerald Downing's critical response to my article The Narratives of the Gospels and the Historical Jesus: Current Debates, Prior Debates and the Goal of Historical Jesus Research' (Keith 2016). I focus on four matters: authenticity', memory theory', tradition' and the concept of going behind' the text.
