An Analysis of Resemblance

An Analysis of Resemblance

First published in 1952 An Analysis of Resemblance has two-fold aims. The opening chapters seek to present what it is not about. It is not concerned with any sense of resemblance in which that term is used by thinkers generally and widely called Hegelian Idealists. The several subsequent chapters of the work advance an analysis of four senses of resemblance. Two of these four senses would seem to be radical – in the etymological sense of the term. The other two senses are derivative. The concluding chapter advances some considerations as to the bearing of an analysis of resemblance on the matters of universals and taxonomy. Professor Church’s clearly stated ideas will arouse much discussion among students of philosophy. This book helps to round off his studies in this field and is a worthy successor to his earlier works.

Cost-benefit Analysis With Reference to Environment and Ecology

The world is increasingly concerned with bridging the developmental gap between the developed and developing countries. With the establishment of a number of institutions for funding the projects including the World Bank Asian Development Bank and many other agencies the need to develop mechanisms to assess economically viable projects is more important than ever. The Social-Cost Benefit Analysis (SCBA) is an important technique used in formulating appraising and evaluating projects.

This volume presents a comprehensive view of cost-benefit analysis in its theoretical and applied dimensions. Both theory and case studies are presented. The theoretical setting for Cost-Benefit Analysis is established by the first five chapters-Spatial General Equilibrium and Cost-Benefit Analysis by David M. Newbery; Optimum Growth Theory and Social Time Preference: A Computerized Mathematical Modeling Exercise to Choose a Social Discount Rate by Sardar M. N. Islam; A Theoretical Inquiry of the Axiomatic Consistency of Distributional Weights used in Cost-Benefit Analysis by Giuseppe Munda; The Output Gap: Measurement Related Concepts and Policy Implications by Parameswar Nandakumar; and A Methodological Comparison of Theoretical Approaches in Dichotomous Choice Contingent Valuation by John C.

The Turing Test Argument

The Turing Test Argument

This book departs from existing accounts of Alan Turing's imitation game and test by placing Turing's proposal in its historical social and cultural context. It reconstructs a controversy in England 1946–1952 over the intellectual capabilities of digital computers which led Turing to propose his test. It argues that the Turing test is best understood not as a practical experiment but as a thought experiment in the modern scientific tradition of Galileo Galilei. The logic of the Turing test argument is reconstructed from the rhetoric of Turing’s irony and wit. Turing believed that learning machines should be understood as a new kind of species and their thinking as different from human thinking and yet capable of imitating it. He thought that the possibilities of the machines he envisioned were not utopian dreams. And yet he hoped that they would rival and surpass chauvinists and intellectuals who sacrifice independent thinking to maintain their power. These would be transformed into ordinary people as work once considered 'intellectual' would be transformed into non-intellectual 'mechanical' work. The Turing Test Argument will appeal to scholars and students in the sciences and humanities and all those interested in Turing's vision of the future of intelligent machines in society and nature.

What is this Professor Freud Like? A Diary of an Analysis with Historical Comments

What is this Professor Freud Like? A Diary of an Analysis with Historical Comments

In 1921 a young female doctor started analysis with Sigmund Freud. In a diary she recorded what moved her. The present volume not only contains a full translation of these records but also collects four essays by two psychoanalysts and two analytical historians who take their cue from the young doctor's notes to think about Freud and his methods. The discovery of the diary marks a small sensation for the history of social science. Three factors make the document unique: first it records not a training analysis but the analysis of an actual patient second the analysis took place before Freud fell ill with cancer and third the analysand obviously noted down what was said in the practice word by word. | What is this Professor Freud Like?

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Transactional Analysis Theory and Narration of a Living Experience

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Transactional Analysis Theory and Narration of a Living Experience

The main values and principles of Transactional Analysis in its original psychodynamic matrix become a concrete experience in this book thanks to the accurate description of the daily practice of a long-experienced therapist: Anna Emanuela Tangolo. Analyzing several cases the author examines the clinical tools of Berne's group therapy and the analysis of dreams without however neglecting other important aspects such as preparing the setting or leading an interview. Particular relevance is given to the therapeutic relationship seen as the interweaving of an experience in order to send stimuli to the patient so as to re-structure his or her intrapsychic world through rigorous and precise inputs analysable in linguistic sequences. This book is meant not only for those who study psychotherapy but also for anyone who wants to learn about clinical TA and its functioning. | Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Transactional Analysis Theory and Narration of a Living Experience

'In the practice of modern analytical psychology it has become of central importance to reorganise analyse and interpret projections and introjections of many sorts the patient's transference the analyst's counter-transference and the dialectical interaction between the two which is descriptively termed transference/counter-transference. | Technique in Jungian Analysis
