In the present paper I aim to explore the related area of how, for Galen, emotional states - the soul's affections, or pathē - are connected with bodily states. I shall be doing this largely on the basis of texts which are much less well studied - even amongst Galen scholars - than those just mentioned, and in particular ones which are not overtly works of 'psychology' or soul theory at all. In the process I shall be focussing on one particular group of common, we might say everyday, mental or emotional disturbances which Galen discusses, in some detail, in relation to their physical correlates. It is, indeed, striking that most of the detailed material that Galen offers in this area - most of the discussion of this particular set of disturbances - appears, not in his specific work on the affections of the soul, Aff. Pecc. Dig., nor in the other most obviously psychological works, PHP or QAM, but in a range of more general, medical works on disease, health and diagnosis.

In 'On What Matters', Derek Parfit argues that there are objective moral truths, and other normative truths about what we have reasons to believe, and to want, and to do. He further argues that if he is wrong, nihilism follows, and nothing matters. In 'Does Anything Really Matter?', leading philosophers present a fascinating set of responses to Parfit

Dieses Buch beinhaltet die umfassende Kommentierung des Art. 45d Grundgesetz und des Gesetzes über die parlamentarische Kontrolle nachrichtendienstlicher Tätigkeit des Bundes. Die Regelungsmaterie betritt das rechtspolitisch hochbrisante Spannungsfeld zwischen den Grundwerten Freiheit und Sicherheit. Aus der Perspektive der parlamentarischen Praxis werden die einschlägigen Regelungen für die parlamentarische Kontrolle der Nachrichtendienste des Bundes und ihre Anwendung durch das Parlamentarische Kontrollgremium vorgestellt. So sind nicht nur die zahlreichen Neuerungen berücksichtigt, die durch die Reform 2009 eingefügt wurden, sondern auch die ersten praktischen Erfahrungen hiermit. Damit ist das Werk der erste Zugriff für die mit der Kontrolle im Gremium betrauten Abgeordneten, die Bundesregierung und die Nachrichtendienste, aber auch von Interesse für alle, die sich mit Nachrichtendiensten näher befassen wollen. Der Verfasser war der erste Referent für die systematische Kontrolle der Nachrichtendienste durch das Parlamentarische Kontrollgremium des Deutschen Bundestages und zuvor im Bundekanzleramt lange mit der Fach- und Dienstaufsicht über den Bundesnachrichtendienst befasst
