I have claimed previously that Hegel and Sellars are both, in the end, monistic visionaries, though with radically different visions of the grand unity of things. In this paper I explain and defend that claim. Section one differentiates several kinds of monism;section two discusses Hegel's vision of the underlying unity of thing, while section three does the same for Sellars. The compare-and-contrast assignment is brought to completion in section four.

David Shoemaker's Responsibility from the Margins is chock full of valuable insights on the nature of our responsibility, and it has more in common with P.f. Strawson's approach in "freedom and Resentment" than the accounts of most philosophers who call themselves Strawsonians. On one central issue of interpretation, however, Shoemaker gets Strawson wrong. Like many interpreters, Shoemaker sees Strawson as defending a "quality of will" theory of responsibility. This idea fundamentally misunderstands Strawson's aims in "freedom and Resentment." Strawson does not defend a theory of any kind in that essay. On the contrary, Strawson tries to caution his fellow philosophers away from the theorizing impulse. The urge to develop comprehensive theories, he argued, inevitably leads philosophers away from the natural facts about responsibility and the related emotions. So, Strawson offers an alternative way of understanding responsibility, one that takes the facts into account "in all their bearings." This interpretive disagreement is instructive, I'll argue, because it illuminates several weaknesses in Shoemaker's own "tripartite" theory of responsibility. Where his account goes astray can be remedied in large part by embracing the spirit of Strawson's approach in full.

Reinvestigation of essential oil constituents of Blumea malcolmii Hook. f. (Asteraceae) was carried out after 100years using gas chromatography equipped with flame ionisation detector (GC-fID) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Eighteen constituents, representing 99.2% of the total oil, were identified. The major compound was identified by GC/MS and NMR (H-1 and C-13) as carvotanacetone (92.1%). The minor compounds of essential oil have also been identified for the first time in B. malcolmii. The oil was found to be rich in oxygenated monoterpene-type constituents (95.0%). [GRAPHICS]

frederick William faber (1814-1863) became a Roman Catholic priest in 1847. He founded the London Oratory and was its Provost between its foundation in April 1849 and his death. This article explores faber's public role as spiritual director to his congregation, through an examination of his sermons concerned specifically with private spirituality and which mention spirituality within the context of a broader sermon. faber's major preoccupations within these sermons will be explored, and the devotions which he encouraged his parishioners to practice, both in private and in public will be highlighted.

Purpose: To describe the clinical features in a series of 8 patients with cytologically proven granulomatous vitritis in the context of systemic malignancy. Design: Retrospective case review series from 2004 through 2018 to identify all cases of cytologically proven granulomatous vitritis and to analyze its disease associations and causes. Participants: Twenty-three patients with a cytologic diagnosis of granulomatous vitritis were identified, 8 of whom demonstrated systemic malignancy. Main outcome measures: To identify a clinical profile of the 8 cases of granulomatous vitritis occurring in the setting of systemic malignancy, focusing on the timing of the eye presentation compared with the timing of the systemic malignancy. Methods: Patients with a cytologic diagnosis of granulomatous vitritis seeking treatment from 2004 through 2018 were included in this retrospective case series. Case notes were recalled and reviewed for demographic features, medical history, presenting symptoms, investigations, surgical procedures, and follow-up. Results: Twenty-three patients were diagnosed cytologically with granulomatous vitritis. Ten of 23 patients (43%) showed autoimmune and infectious causes, 5 of 23 patients (22%) showed were idiopathic causes, and 8 of 23 patients' (35%) disease was associated with systemic malignancy. In the latter group, the median age at presentation was 70 years (range, 55-89 years). Six patients showed bilateral disease, and the remaining 3 showed unilateral disease. Three of 8 patients showed primary systemic malignancy diagnosed after eye symptoms and 5 of 8 showed malignancy before the eye symptoms. These latter 5 patients all demonstrated a major relapse, metastasis, or both at the time of eye symptoms. Conclusions: Paraneoplastic vitritis is primarily a disease of older age, with 67% of those affected older than 65 years. Ophthalmologists should maintain a high index of suspicion of paraneoplastic cause in bilateral posterior segment inflammat

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of intraoperative use of heavy liquid on retinal shift after retinal detachment repair. Design: Prospective, randomized study. Participants: Patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy for macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were included in the current study. Methods: Patients were randomized into 2 groups: group A included patients in whom heavy liquid was used during the procedure and group B included patients in whom no heavy liquid was used. Group A and B patients were reviewed after 3 weeks and after 6 weeks, respectively, and fundus autofluorescence (fAf) images were obtained to visualize the retinal rotation. Main Outcome Measure: Postoperative macular shift, visualized with fAf. Results: A total of 50 eyes from 49 patients were included. Overall, retinal shift was observed in 17 patients (34%). Patients in whom heavy liquid was used during the procedure showed significantly less macular shift after surgery (P = 0.049). There was a strong association between retinal shift and postoperative symptoms of metamorphopsia. Ten of 17 patients with retinal shift reported distorted vision (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The use of intraoperative heavy liquid seems to be associated with lower occurrence of retinal shift after retinal detachment repair. (C) 2019 by the American Academy of Ophthalmology
