HYPOCHONDRIA: A REVIEW OF ITS PLACE IN PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY

After identifying Freud's fundamental contributions to the concept of hypochondria, the author undertakes a brief review of the term's trajectory within the Anglophone and Francophone psychoanalytic literature. Notions of defense, anxiety, and representation as they relate to corporeal experience are discussed. The author illustrates these main axes with which to read hypochondria with clinical material drawn from the analysis of a woman in whom somatic manifestations were especially pervasive.     

GOD'S PLACE IN A SPACE AGE

Abstract. The shift from a pre-Copernican to a Copernican world view has caused an ever increasing sense of homelessness for the idea of a theistically conceived God. This paper first traces the historical development of this problem and its implications for the Christian faith. Next it presents some historically evolved "rescue" attempts and examines them critically. Then follows an inquiry concerning the biblical understanding of God's relation to space and a critical presentation of some contemporary proposals to make God's presence intelligible. In conclusion we propose a dimensional model of relating God and the world, a model which allows for a reasonable discourse of God's immanence and transcendence.     

人在自然中拥有一席之地吗?

整个 2 0世纪的社会人类学 ,给人们留下了这样的印象 :人类学作为一门科学 ,总是在经受着分娩中的剧痛 ,总是在怀疑自己是否拥有生存的权力。随着社会人类学的生根、成长和分化 ,它越来越充满疑问。如今 ,这种自我怀疑似乎已经达到了登峰造极的地步 :我们很难看清楚 ,这门学科如何能够在继续强调其反复无常的特性的同时 ,而不落得土崩瓦解的下场。即使是那些希望相信人类学依然具有潜在的学术天职的学者们 ,也发觉他们不得不从外界寻求帮助 ;为了寻求这样的帮助 ,他们乞助于用来研究热的热力学 ,自私的基因 ,或者是“认知科学”最新形成的结…     

PUTTING EXTROSPECTION TO REST

Jordi Fernández has recently responded to my objection that his 'extrospectionist' account of self knowledge posits necessary and sufficient conditions for introspective justification which are neither necessary nor sufficient. I show that my criticisms survive his response unscathed.     

THE PLACE OF FAITH IN A WORLD OF FACT

Abstract. The relation of religion and science is presented in terms of the interrelationship of domains generated within a reflexive real world concept by status assignment. The domain of religion is articulated by the concepts of ultimacy, totality, and eternity, which are boundary conditions on all status assignments. The domain of science is a status assignment, that of determining the facts and constraints of the real world, and is articulated by the concepts of empiricism, objectivity, and order. The interrelationship of domains is illustrated by examining the concepts of order, disorder, entropy, evil, freedom, creation, and resurrection.     

REPLICATION OF THE ACHIEVEMENT PLACE MODEL IN CALIFORNIA1

Attempting to replicate procedures from Achievement Place, token reinforcement procedures were used to modify savings, conversational interruptions, and table-setting of delinquent boys residing in a home-style, community based, treatment setting. The tokens (points) were redeemable for various privileges and could be earned for specified appropriate behaviors and lost for specified inappropriate behaviors. Contingent point fines reduced the frequency of interruptions. Point rewards improved table-setting, but even large point rewards did not substantially increase savings. Baseline data indicated that lateness to dinner was not a problem, as it was in Achievement Place. Withdrawal of contingent points and back-up rewards did not disrupt the clean-up behavior of two boys.     

PUTTING FEMINIST PEDAGOGY TO THE TEST

Critics of women's studies (WS) have charged that WS teaching overemphasizes students'personal experience and is overly politicized. They claim further that WS classes discourage critical, independent thinking and stifle open, participatory learning, causing student dissatisfaction. This study provides empirical evidence of the process of WS teaching from the perspective of 111 teachers and 789 of their students from 32 campuses in the United States. Contrary to WS critics, WS faculty and students reported strong emphases on critical thinking/open-mindedness and participatory learning and relatively weaker emphases on personal experience and political understanding/activism. In addition, student ratings of positive class impact were higher for WS than non-WS classes. The results support the pedagogic distinctiveness of women's studies.     

哲学及其在西方精神空间中的地位：一种辩护

哲学从未是一门科学，并且永远不会是一门科学。然而，哲学是一个知识体：主体关于主体的知识。作为一个自主存在域，主体的本体基础是关于自身的知识。作为一个绝对自反性的非空间领域，主体存在的自主性确定了自由在宇宙空间的存在。我们可以忘却上学时所学的毕达哥拉斯的定理，但是哲学知识永远不会被忘却。
