Despite its apparent ubiquity, philosophers have not talked much about sentimental value. One exception is Anthony Hatzimoysis
(The Philosophical Quarterly 53:373–379, 2003). Those who wish to take sentimental value seriously are likely to make use of Christine Korsgaard’s ideas on two distinctions
in value. In this paper I show that Hatzimoysis has misrendered Korsgaard’s insight in his discussion of sentimental value.
I begin by briefly summarising Korsgaard’s idea before showing how Hatzimoysis’ treatment of it is mistaken.

Empowerment is a key word in Catherine Audard’s new book on Rawls and a central characteristic of Rawls’ approach to justice.
A very different “hermeneutic” approach to justice is presented by Paul Ricoeur, the French philosopher and theologian who,
against the background of his own work, examined Rawls’ views in several publications. This essay compares the two views and
defends the proposition that empowerment is the common denominator. The author suggests that Rawls would not have objected
to including some of Ricoeur’s ideas in the past-principle stage of his Theory.

We describe some of the historical conditions that made possible Kabat-Zinn’s [(1990). Full catastrophe living: Using the wisdom of your body and mind to face stress, pain, and illness. New York: Delacorte] very successful use of mindfulness in his stress management program. The ground had been prepared by the nonjudgmental acceptance of people and symptoms by Humanistic psychotherapists, and by the increasing assimilation of Buddhist ideas into Western psychology and psychotherapy. In addition the word “mindfulness,” as the translation of the Pali sati, came to refer to both the manualized practice that provides the evidence for its efficacy in the hands of Kabat-Zinn and others, and the more complex process of clear comprehension and recollection that is described in his more discursive writings, and is similar to Ellen Langer’s use of “mindfulness” in her book of that name.

I discuss Stalnaker’s views on modality. In particular, his views on actualism, anti-essentialism, counterpart theory, and
the Barcan formulas.

Hall [(2007), Philosophical Studies, 132, 109–136] offers a critique of structural equations accounts of actual causation, and then offers a new theory of his own.
In this paper, I respond to Hall’s critique, and present some counterexamples to his new theory. These counterexamples are
then diagnosed.

In an earlier article on Erik H. Erikson’s earliest writings (Capps, 2007), I focused on the relationship between the child’s melancholia and conflict with maternal authority, and drew attention
to the restorative role of humor. In this article, I discuss two of the three chapters in part three, “The Growth of the Ego,”
of Erikson’s first major book, Childhood and Society [Erikson, Childhood and society. New York: W. W. Norton, 1950, Childhood and society (rev. edition). New York: W. W. Norton, 1963]. I explore the same theme of the relationship of melancholia and the mother, but focus on the restorative role of play.
I interpret the differences between the two cases in light of Sigmund Freud’s essay, “Mourning and Melancholia” [Freud, Mourning
and melancholia. In S. Freud, General psychological theory (pp. 164–179). P. Rieff (ed.). New York: Collier Books. 1963].

Mother,Melancholia, and Art in Erik H. Erikson’s <Emphasis Type="Italic">Toys and Reasons</Emphasis> 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Donald Capps 《Journal of religion and health》2007,46(3):369-383
In three earlier articles (2007a, 2007b, 2007c), I focused on the theme of the relationship of melancholia and the mother, and suggested that the melancholic self may
experience humor, play, and dreams as restorative resources. In this article, I want to make a similar case, based on Erik
H. Erikson’s Toys and Reasons (1977), for art (in this particular case, a painting of the Annunciation). I have made a similar case for the restorative role of art in articles on Leonard da Vinci’s Mona Lisa (Capps, Pastoral Psychology, 53, 107–137, 2004) and James McNeill Whistler’s painting of his mother (Capps, Pastoral Psychology, 2007d). In the present article, however, I focus on the special biographical circumstances in Erikson’s own development of a melancholy
self and the painting he discusses in Toys and Reasons, thereby suggesting that individuals may find a particular work of art especially relevant to their own experience of melancholy.
I conclude with Erikson’s testimonial at the memorial service of a colleague and friend who translated her own melancholy
into her service to others.

How Berkeley Corrupted His Capacity to Conceive 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Michael Jacovides 《Philosophia》2009,37(3):415-429
Berkeley’s capacity to conceive of mind-independent bodies was corrupted by his theory of representation. He thought that
representation of things outside the mind depended on resemblance. Since ideas can resemble nothing than ideas, and all ideas
are mind dependent, he concluded that we couldn’t form ideas of mind-independent bodies. More generally, he thought that we
had no inner resembling proxies for mind-independent bodies, and so we couldn’t even form a notion of such things. Because
conception is a suggestible faculty, Berkeley’s arguments actually made it the case that he himself couldn’t conceive of mind-independent
bodies.

This article emphasizes an underappreciated aspect of Freud’s critique of religion taken up in the writings of Ricoeur and
Castoriadis: the degree to which pathologies of desire and duty imbue our relation to shared cultural forms, i.e., narratives,
ideals, and values. Both thinkers find in Freud’s anti-religious polemic a valuable attempt to address the intransigence,
fanaticism, and violence that can result from an unreflected affirmation of Tradition. Alongside developing a respect and
acceptance of other cultures, they argue for the need to establish a critical relation to ‘sacred’meaning structures, one
that mirrors interpretive strategies within the psychoanalytic process. Ricoeur and Castoriadis critique Freud’s accentuation
of neurosis while extending his thinking into personal-philosophical and social-political contexts.

This essay will build on Emmanuel Levinas’s rejection of ontology as foundational and draw out the implications for psychotherapy.
We will explore Levinas’s concept of substitution (in both his more Jewish writings and his philosophical treatises) and consider
its meaning in relationship to the role of a psychotherapist. Levinas understands the Other as a calling for substitution
of the self and of a taking on of responsibility. We explore the notion of surrender in the work of the psychoanalyst Emmanuel
Ghent and argue that his position is ultimately lacking in ethical injunction; requiring nothing of the self in relationship
to the Other. It remains within the confines of the conventional, self-reflexive models that Levinas critiques. Following
Levinas, we suggest that the therapist bear the burden of ethical responsibility by being exposed to the client’s ethical
call and by responding out of a kenotic self-emptying.

This paper intends to append the frame of dialectic upon St. John of the Cross’ delineation of mysticism. Its underlying hypothesis
is that the dialectical structuring of St. John’s mystical theology promises to unravel the web of relational concepts embedded
within his immense writings on this unique phenomenon. It is hoped that as a consequence of this undertaking, relevant pairs
of correlative opposites that figure prominently in mysticism can be elucidated and perhaps come to some form of resolution.

There is confusion among scholars of Bohr as to whether he should be categorized as an instrumentalist (see Faye 1991) or a realist (see Folse 1985). I argue that Bohr is a realist, and that the confusion is due to the fact that he holds a very special view of realism,
which did not coincide with the philosophers’ views. His approach was sometimes labelled instrumentalist and other times realist,
because he was an instrumentalist on the theoretical level, but a realist on the level of models. Such a realist position
is what I call phenomenological realism. In this paper, and by taking Bohr’s debate with Einstein as a paradigm, I try to
prove that Bohr was such a realist.

It is a commonly held view that Dedekind’s construction of the real numbers is impredicative. This naturally raises the question
of whether this impredicativity is justified by some kind of Platonism about sets. But when we look more closely at Dedekind’s
philosophical views, his ontology does not look Platonist at all. So how is his construction justified? There are two aspects
of the solution: one is to look more closely at his methodological views, and in particular, the places in which predicativity
restrictions ought to be applied; another is to take seriously his remarks about the reals as things created by the cuts,
instead of considering them to be the cuts themselves. This can lead us to make finer-grained distinctions about the extent
to which impredicative definitions are problematic, since we find that Dedekind’s use of impredicative definitions in analysis
can be justified by his (non-Platonist) philosophical views.

Academic popularizers of the new field of evolutionary psychology make notable appeals to William James to bolster their doctrine.
In particular, they cite James’ remark that humans have all the “impulses” animals do and many more besides to shore up their
claim that people’s “instincts” account for their flexibility. This essay argues that these scholars misinterpret James on
the instincts. Consciousness (which they find inscrutable) explains cognitive flexibility for James. The evolutionary psychologists’
appeal to James is, therefore, unwarranted and, given the conditions relevant to the public and professional audiences they
address, also ineffective as a rhetorical tool for enlisting new recruits.

Donald Davidson used triangulation to do everything from explicate psychological and semantic externalism, to attack relativism
and skepticism, to propose conditions necessary for thought and talk. At one point Davidson tried to bring order to these
remarks by identifying three kinds of triangulation, each operative in a different situation. Here I take seriously Davidson’s
talk of triangular situations and extend it. I start by describing Davidson’s situations. Next I establish the surprising
result that considerations from one situation entail the possibility that at any one time one language is partially untranslatable
into another. Because the possibility is time-indexed, it need not conflict with Davidson’s own argument against the possibility
of untranslatability. I derive the result, not to indict Davidson, but to propose a new kind of triangulation, the reconciliation
of untranslatability, which I investigate. Insofar as triangulation is central to Davidson’s views, getting a handle on his
various triangular situations is key to getting a handle on his contributions to philosophy. Insofar as those contributions
have enriched our understanding of how language, thought, and reality interrelate, extending Davidson’s model promises to
extend our understanding too.

The three most common responses to Taurek’s ‘numbers problem’ are saving the greater number, equal chance lotteries and weighted
lotteries. Weighted lotteries have perhaps received the least support, having been criticized by Scanlon What We Owe to Each
Other (1998) and Hirose ‘Fairness in Life and Death Cases’ (2007). This article considers these objections in turn, and argues that they do not succeed in refuting the fairness of a weighted
lottery, which remains a potential solution to cases of conflict. Moreover, it shows how these responses actually lead to
a new argument for weighted lotteries, appealing to fairness and Pareto-optimality.

Kant’s reputation for making absolutist claims about universal and necessary conditions for the possibility of experience
are put here in the broader context of his goals for the Critical philosophy. It is shown that within that context, Kant’s
claims can be seen as considerably more innocuous than they are traditionally regarded, underscoring his deep respect for
“common sense” and sharing surprisingly similar goals with Wittgenstein in terms of what philosophy can, and at least as importantly
cannot, provide.

Whistler’s <Emphasis Type="Italic">Mother</Emphasis>: Devotional Center of Male Melancholic Religion
Donald Capps 《Pastoral Psychology》2008,56(4):375-401
In previous writings, I have argued that the 3-to-5-year-old boy’s emotional separation from his mother is the key experience
in his development of a melancholic orientation to life (Capps, Men, religion, and melancholia: James, Otto, Jung, and Erikson, 1997) and that men’s religious proclivities (based on honor, hope, and humor) reflect this emotional separation (Capps,
Male melancholia: Guilt, separation, and repressed rage, 2001). In an earlier article published in Pastoral Psychology (Capps, Leonardo’s Mona Lisa: Iconic center of male melancholic religion, 2004), I argued that Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is the iconic center of the male melancholic religion, that it displaces the Virgin Mother Mary of traditional Christianity
in this regard, and that the painting aids in the difficult task of transforming melancholia into the mourning of the lost
maternal object. In this article, I argue that James McNeill Whistler’s painting of his mother plays a similar role in male
melancholic religion, but with an important variation: I use Ernst Troeltsch’s classic church-sect typology to show that Leonardo’s
Mona Lisa is the iconic center of the churchly form of male melancholic religion, while Whistler’s mother is the devotional center of its sectarian form.
