Nature and convention
There is a celebrated discussion of the distinction between the natural and the conventional in Aristotle&s;s Nichomachean Ethics : There are two forms of justice, the natural and the conventional. Many philosophers in the time would dispute the last statement of Aristotle&s;s, being of the opinion that justice is conventional in all its branches. Like the Sophistic thinkers to whom Aristotle was referring, Karl Popper lays great stress on the al…
Conférence sur Simone Weil (Inde, 1986)
Ce texte, issu d’une conférence de 2018, est destiné à montrer l’intérêt d’une coopération entre le travail des historiens de la philosophie et les protagonistes de recherches et d’enseignements sur le travail et l’activité humaine. Il essaie de préciser la définition et l’impact de la notion de « matières étrangères », mise en avant par G. Canguilhem. Se laisser interpeller par elles serait pour le travail philosophique une garantie d’un usage s…

Understanding How Solidarity Groups—A Community-Based Economic and Psychosocial Support Intervention—Can Affect Mental Health for Survivors of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence in Democratic Republic o…
Solidarity groups were established in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to provide female survivors of conflict-related sexual violence an opportunity to generate income, establish networks of support, and cope with atrocities. Qualitative data were collected from 12 members of solidarity groups to explore factors that contributed to members' mental health. All women identified some improvement (physiological, psychological, economic, or socia…
Contraceptive Implant Discontinuation in Huambo and Luanda, Angola
Program synergies and social relations
While providers and pregnant women view program synergies from integrating HIV services into antenatal care positively, lack of supportive provider-patient relationships, lack of trust resulting from harsh treatment or breaches in confidentiality, and stigma still inhibit women's care seeking. As countries continue rollout of Option B+, social relations between patients and providers must be understood and addressed to ensure that integrated deli…
The Idea of a Social Science and Its Relation to Philosophy

Originally published in 1958, The Idea of a Social Science and Its Relation to Philosophy was a landmark exploration of the social sciences, written at a time when that field was still young and had not yet joined the Humanities and the Natural Sc

Peak Oil and Health in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Peak oil refers to the predicted peak and subsequent decline in global production of petroleum products over the coming decades. We describe how peak oil will affect health, nutrition, and health systems in low- and middle-income countries along 5 pathways. The negative effects of peak oil on health and nutrition will be felt most acutely in the 58 low-income countries experiencing minimal or negative economic growth because of their patterns of …

Funerals,big matchesandjolly trips
This ethnographic study of smoking among males in two urban Sri Lankan communities was carried out to inform existing tobacco control efforts. Specific settings were found to foster smoking among young people. In ‘jolly’ settings (funerals, weddings, jolly trips and gantze parties), cigarette smoking was facilitated by participants; in ‘functional’ settings (easing problems, warding off cold, easing loneliness, showing colors), cigarettes played …

Effectiveness of community participation in vector-borne disease control
Vector-borne diseases continue to represent a major public health threat in Latin America. Although vertical programmes that relied on large teams of workers were successful in stopping or significantly reducing transmission of malaria, yellow fever and Chagas' disease in many countries earlier in this century, they have recently been less effective due to a variety of reasons, including the high cost of labour and insecticides. Although particip…

A Truer Liberty
Simone Weil - philosopher, trade union militant, factory worker - developed a penetrating critique of Marxism and a powerful political philosophy which serves as an alternative both to liberalism and Marxism. In A Truer Liberty , Blum and Seidler show how Simone Weil's philosophy differed from Marxism: she sought to put political action on a firmly moral basis. Weil criticized Marxism for its confidence in progress and revolution and its attendan…
Urbanization, Dengue, and the Health Transition
A host of resurgent diseases, many in newly created urban environments, challenges the assumptions underlying anthropological contributions to international public health programs. Past programs validated local knowledge about acute and well-known disease conditions and encouraged self-help and participatory approaches to respond to these problems. This article discusses the changing picture of health conditions in urban settings by examining loc…
