“The main Business of natural Philosophy”: Isaac Newton’s Natural-Philosophical Methodology (Archimedes #29)
by Steffen DucheyneIn this monograph, Steffen Ducheyne provides a historically detailed and systematically rich explication of Newton's methodology. Throughout the pages of this book, it will be shown that Newton developed a complex natural-philosophical methodology which encompasses procedures to minimize inductive risk during the process of theory formation and which, thereby, surpasses a standard hypothetico-deductive methodological setting. Accordingly, it will be highlighted that the so-called 'Newtonian Revolution' was not restricted to the empirical and theoretical dimensions of science, but applied equally to the methodological dimension of science. Furthermore, it will be documented that Newton's methodology was far from static and that it developed alongside with his scientific work. Attention will be paid not only to the successes of Newton's innovative methodology, but equally to its tensions and limitations. Based on a thorough study of Newton's extant manuscripts, this monograph will address and contextualize, inter alia, Newton's causal realism, his views on action at a distance and space and time, the status of efficient causation in the /Principia/, the different phases of his methodology, his treatment of force and the constituents of the physico-mathematical models in the context of Book I of the /Principia/, the analytic part of the argument for universal gravitation, the meaning and significance of his regulae philosophandi, the methodological differences between his mechanical and optical work, and, finally, the interplay between Newton's theology and his natural philosophy.
“Tired all the Time”: Persistent Fatigue and Healthcare
by Marie ThomasThis book explores the history, effects, diagnosis and treatment of chronic fatigue as well its significant links to other illnesses. Fatigue is a difficult symptom to accurately assess and quantify due to its subjective nature. Marie Thomas discusses the uncertainties and difficulties in its diagnosis as well as the broader effects of fatigue on quality of life. Fatigue is an increasingly reported problem in primary care, and one that is associated with other chronic conditions as a secondary symptom. Using several case studies, this book describes how in many cases, a patient’s primary condition can be managed; however General Practitioners are left unable to address the fatigue experienced, especially in older adults. Chapters consider the interventions that exist to manage fatigue – especially in the case of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) – before highlighting the lack of strategies in primary care for dealing with the problem. In the final chapter Thomas discusses potential interventions and gives recommendations for future research regarding fatigue. This book will be of interest to academics and practitioners in healthcare and psychology, as well as to patient groups and those who care for individuals with fatigue.
„Like=Remember“: (Re-)Konfigurationen von Erinnerung und Vergessen durch Medienpraktiken (Neue Perspektiven der Medienästhetik)
by Mathias ScheicherIn diesem Band wird systematisch und theoretisch angeleitet die alltägliche, gesellschaftliche Weitergabe von Wissen über die Shoah durch digitale Praktiken untersucht. Diese stellen die Grundlage für ein innovatives Analysemodell von Online-Erinnerungskulturen dar, das entlang populärer und medienkünstlerischer Beispiele entwickelt wird. Dabei werden Fragen nach nor-mativen Aushandlungen, Formen von Zeugenschaft sowie transnationale digitale Handlungs-routinen aus einer medienwissenschaftlichen Perspektive unter dem Begriff der (Re-)Konfigurationen neu zusammengefasst.
