An Examination of the Philosophy of Bacon is one of Joseph de Maistre's most original and important works. Best known for his defence of throne and altar and for his critique of the political and religious thought of the Enlightenment, Maistre also addressed more fundamental philosophical issues. His critique of Bacon, written between 1814 and 1816, is a vigorous attack on the materialism and scientism that he believed characterized the thought of the French philosophes.

The surge of philosophical interest in episodic memory has brought to light a number of controversial questions about this form of memory that have only recently begun to be addressed in detail. This book organises discussion around six such questions, offering two new chapters per question, from experts in the field. The questions are: I. What is the relationship between memory and imagination? II. Do memory traces have content? III. What is the nature of mnemonic confabulation? IV. What is the function of episodic memory? V. Do non-human animals have episodic memory? VI. Does episodic memory give us knowledge of the past? The book constitutes a valuable resource for researchers, teachers, and students alike. For researchers, it provides an up-to-date discussion of some of the main theories, arguments, and problems in the area. For teachers, the book can supply the readings for an entire course, or particular sections can provide the readings for specific units within a broader philosophy of memory course. For students, the book offers accessible discussions of some of the most recent topics in the philosophy of memory, which, when taken together, serve as a well-rounded introduction to the area.

Jaegwon Kim relied principally on armchair methods in approaching problems in philosophy of mind. This paper is concerned with the nature of such methods and their prospects of success. Identifying the main armchair methods as introspection, modal reasoning involving conceivability tests, and conceptual analysis, the paper argues that insofar as the first two members of this trio aim to reveal the constitutive metaphysical natures of mental states, they are unable to reach their objective. In contrast, it defends conceptual analysis, arguing that Quine's attempt to discredit it fails. More specifically, it maintains that a certain form of conceptual role semantics is immune to Quine's strictures against meaning, and that this conception of meaning allows room for armchair discoveries about the meanings of our words (though it has no tendency to provide access to deep facts about the constitutive metaphysical natures of extralinguistic entities).

Dies ist ein Bericht zu einer praktischen Anwendung der Kollektiven Erinnerungsarbeit außerhalb des akademischen Bereichs. Eine Gruppe stellvertretender Leiterinnen in Kindertagesstätten nutzte die Methode für eine intensive Reflexion ihrer beruflichen Praxis. Das Essay beschreibt die Bandbreite der Themen, die die Gruppe in ihrem Projekt entdeckte. Kommentare der Teilnehmerinnen geben einen Eindruck von den Effekten und dem Potential der Kollektiven Erinnerungsarbeit als Mittel (beruflicher) Reflexionsprozesse, hier am konkreten Beispiel institutionalisierter Erziehung. Der Beitrag verweist auf einen Weg zu einer Praxis der Philosophy der Praxis.

"The present volume containing the dissertation of Dorion Cairns is the first part of a comprehensive edition of the philosophical papers of one of the foremost disseminators and interpreters of Husserlian phenomenology in North-America. Based on his intimate knowledge of Husserl's published writings and unpublished manuscripts and on the many conversations and discussions he had with Husserl and Fink during his stay in Freiburg i. Br. in 1931-1932. Cairns's dissertation is a comprehensive exposition of the methodological foundations and the concrete phenomenological analyses of Husserl's transcendental phenomenology. The lucidity and precision of Cairns's presentation is remarkable and demonstrates the secure grasp he had of Husserl's philosophical intentions and phenomenological distinctions. Starting from the phenomenological reduction and Husserl's Idea of Philosophy, Cairns proceeds with a detailed analysis of intentionality and the intentional structures of consciousness. In its scope and in the depth and nuance of its understanding, Cairns's dissertation belongs beside the writings on Husserl by Levinas and Fink from the same period."--Publisher's website

Sentiment analysis offers many benefits and opportunities from business, government and consumer perspective in this digital data explosive age. According to Google, in partnership with KPMG India report (April-2017), titled Indian Languages Defining Indias Internet currently India today has 234 million Indian Language users who are online, compared to 175 million English web users and expected 536 million Indians to use regional languages while online by 2021. However Marathi users are expected to make significant contribution to define India Internet volume. By considering aspects of Marathi language and benefits of sentiment analysis, this paper presents a approach to overcome the barriers and difficulties being faced for analyzing text in Marathi language. The proposed system detects hidden sentiments in text of Marathi language. The system uses sentiment analysis methodology in order to achieve desired functionality. In this system, a corpus based approach is proposed, i.e the creation of a diverse up to date corpus of Marathi keywords along with their individual polarities with respect to the Word Net which is consider as a corpus. The algorithm is used to calculate the cumulative polarity of the text and rank the sentence as positive negative or neutral on a set scale standard.

Norway has given official-language status to the languages of its aboriginal peoples, the Sámi, yet Canada has accorded that status only to English and French, the languages of the colonizers. In Norway, the 1992 legislation giving major language and cultural rights to the Sámi has had a major impact on Sámi education. This Norwegian experience has significant implications for official-language minority and aboriginal first-language education in Canada, shedding light on such important topics as minority teacher educa- tion, minority first-language pedagogy, curriculum texts, community attitudes to minority languages, language support services, school administration, devolution of control, cultural incorporation, and the maintenance of cultural identities. As a result, in this article I question the appropriateness of official policies and language practices in Canada. La Norvège a accordé le statut de langue officielle aux langues de ses peuples autochtones, les Sámis. Cependant, le Canada n'a accordé ce statut qu'à l'anglais et au français, langues de ses colonisateurs. En Norvège, la législation de 1992, accordant des droits linguistiques et culturels majeurs aux Sámis, a eu un impact considérable sur l'éducation de ceux-ci. Cette expérience norvégienne qui comporte des implications significatives pour l'éducation relative à la langue officielle des minorités et à la langue maternelle des autochtones au Canada, jette un éclairage sur des sujets importants pour les minorités tels: la formation des maîtres, la pédagogie relative à leur langue maternelle, les attitudes de la communauté à l'égard des langues des minorités, les services de soutien linguistiques, l'administration scolaire, la dévolution du contrôle, l'incorporation culturelle et le maintien des identités culturelles. Par conséquent, je remets en question dans cet article le bien-fondé des politiques officielles et des pratiques linguistiques au Canada.
