Why Did Thomas Harriot Invent Binary?
From the early eighteenth century onward, primacy for the invention of binary numeration and arithmetic was almost universally credited to the German polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716). Then, in 1922, Frank Vigor Morley (1899–1980) noted that an unpublished manuscript of the English mathematician, astronomer, and alchemist Thomas Harriot (1560–1621) contained the numbers 1 to 8 in binary. Morley’s only comment was that this foray into…
The Enigma of Leibniz's "Catholic" Writings of 1685
The focus of this paper is a suite of Latin papers from 1685, some of which are still unpublished, in which Leibniz writes in the guise of a Catholic in order to defend Catholicism and counter Protestant objections, and this despite him being a lifelong Lutheran. After providing an overview of these writings (which I refer to as Leibniz's "Catholic" writings) and the grounds for dating them to May-June 1685, I consider their purpose, arguing agai…
Do we Need a Plant Theodicy
In recent decades, philosophers and theologians have become increasingly aware of the extent of animal pain and suffering, both past and present, and of the challenge this poses to God’s goodness and justice. As a result, a great deal of effort has been devoted to the discussion and development of animal theodicies, that is, theodicies that aim to offer morally sufficient reasons for animal pain and suffering that are in fact God’s reasons. In th…

Leibniz on God and Religion: A Reader
Bringing together Leibniz’s writings on God and religion for the very first time, Leibniz on God and Religion: A Reader reflects the growing importance now placed on Leibniz’s philosophical theology. This reader features a wealth of material, from journal articles and book reviews published in Leibniz’s lifetime to private notes and essays, as well as items from his correspondence. Organised thematically into the following sections, this reader c…
Leibniz’s Egypt Plan (1671–1672): From holy war to ecumenism
At the end of 1671 and start of 1672, while in the service of the Archbishop and Elector of Mainz, Leibniz composed his Egypt Plan, which sought to persuade Louis XIV to invade Egypt. Scholars have generally supposed that Leibniz’s rationale for devising the plan was to divert Louis from his intended war with Holland. Little attention has been paid to the religious benefits that Leibniz identified in the plan, and those who do acknowledge them ar…

Leibniz's Monadology: A New Translation And Guide
The doctrine of ‘the resurrection of the same body’ in early modern thought
The Judaeo-Christian belief in the general resurrection has long been troubled by the issue of personal identity, but prior to the advent of such concerns there existed a cognate concern about the identity not of the resurrected person , but of the resurrected person's body . Although this latter issue has exercised scholars of various ages, concern with it was particularly keen in early modern times. In this paper I chart the various ways bodily…
The Philosophy of Sophie, Electress of Hanover
In philosophical circles, Electress Sophie of Hanover (1630–1714) is known mainly as the friend, patron, and correspondent of Leibniz. While many scholars acknowledge Sophie's interest in philosophy, some also claim that Sophie dabbled in philosophy herself, but did not do so either seriously or competently. In this paper I show that such a view is incorrect, and that Sophie did make interesting philosophical contributions of her own, principally…
God's problem of multiple choice
A question that has been largely overlooked by philosophers of religion is how God would be able to effect a rational choice between two worlds of unsurpassable goodness. To answer this question, I draw a parallel with the paradigm cases of indifferent choice, including Buridan's ass, and argue that such cases can be satisfactorily resolved provided that the protagonists employ what Otto Neurath calls an ‘auxiliary motive’. I supply rational grou…

Gustav Ichheiser on Sociopsychological Misperception in International Relations
Cette etude vise a rehabiliter les conceptions de Ichheiser concernant les relations internationales dans l'histoire des idees en psychologie sociopolitique. L'etude est notamment centree sur les facteurs psychologiques et sociaux qui interviennent dans les incomprehensions, les non-comprehensions et le defaut de perception dans les relations internationales concernant les resolutions de paix ou de guerre
The Concept of Dispositional Regulation of Individual Social Behavior
After a period of relative neglect by psychologists of issues of social motivation and goal-directed behavior (in favor of attending to the person as a "cognizer," or reinforcement-shaped "responder"), it is clear that the preoccupations of Miller, Galanter, & Pribram (1960) a quarter-century ago have been taken up with renewed interest. Current investigators are of many different persuasions—e.g., cognitively oriented theorists concerned with "l…
A note on Jacob Moreno's contributions to the development of social network analysis
Conflict and Dominance in Television-Mediated Interactions
A simulation of a supervisor-worker conflict was performed with fourperson groups in either a face-to-face or a television-mediated communication setting. Face-to-face groups were more likely to reach solutions indicative of high intragroup conflict. Although mean values did not differ, there was more variability among face-to-face groups in discussion time and measures of supervisor dominance. These results were interpreted as suggesting that el…
Applied Social Psychology in the USSR: Excerpts from Interviews at Leningrad State University
International, and even intercontinental, comparisons of social psychologies have become enlightening over the last decade (e.g., Israel & Tajfel, 1972; Strickland, Aboud, & Gergen, 1974). Within the last few years, comparisons involving the USSR have moved from possibility to actuality (Krauss, 1976; Strickland, 1979, 1980). Nevertheless, for a variety of reasons, ranging from the paucity of pages devoted to journal and book translations to the …
Ego-Threat and the Privacy-Sociality of Leisure Activity Choice
This study was an effort to examine the links between egothreatening situations, privacy needs, and preferences for different styles of leisure activity. Using a questionnaire, it was observed that
Teleconferencing and Leadership Emergence
An attempt was made to assess the role of medium of communication on leadership differentiation in discussion groups. Groups of undergraduates met on five different occasions to solve human relations problems, either in face-to-face discussion situations or over video conferencing networks. In face-to-face conditions development of leadership took almost a classic form, with sociometric measures systematically related to behavioral indexes; in th…
Dissonance theory, self‐perception and the bogus pipeline
Studied attitude change following counter‐attitudinal advocacy where there was little incentive for subject compliance in an attempt to compare dissonance and self‐perception theory predictions. The extent of attitude change was determined either by self‐report or by having subjects predict their own true attitudes purportedly monitored by the experimenter using a ‘bogus pipeline’. Forty‐eight male and female subjects, students from an introducto…
What the shadow knows: Person perception in a surveillance situation
Under one of three task conditions, male subjects observed a prescribed behavior sequence performed by a female confederate. Covert-surveillance subjects followed her in public, having been told that she was randomly chosen as a target and was unaware of the surveillance. Overt-surveillance subjects actively followed the target, but knew of her role as confederate. Inactive subjects viewed a videotape of the behavior sequence. It was hypothesized…

Medium of Communication, Differential Power, and Phasing of Concessions: Negotiating Success and Attributions to the Opponent
The effect of three variables thought to be important to the negotiation process was investigated via an attributional analysis. Three different communication modes (audio, audio/video, face-to-face), three levels of power (high, equal, low), and three prior concession-phasing strategies (alternating, increasingly cooperative, decreasingly cooperative) were combined in a factorial design to determine their effect on negotiation outcomes and negot…

Response Time as a Cue in Person Perception
The information conveyed by the delay preceding response of stimulus persons ( SPs) to problem solutions offered by S was evaluated in terms of S‘s imputations of competence or compliance to the SP. It was observed that induction of a “set” in S in which one of the above traits was relevant resulted in S's preference for an SP whom he inferred to possess the relevant trait from SP‘s response time. It was also observed that the nature of these inf…
An Alternative Form of a Forced-Choice F Scale
A forced-choice form of the F scale was constructed and correlations were computed between the resulting scores and those from a “counterbalanced” form and its two components: the scores from embedded original Authoritarianism Scale items and the scores from embedded “reversed” items. Reliabilities of the forced-choice scale were .69 and .66 for two samples. It was observed that the forced-choice × “original” correlations were slightly lower than…
Optional Anonymity and Political Balloting
Data from a student political poll were analyzed to test the hypothesis that those voters casting a ballot for the unpopular candidate would be more likely to do so anonymously than would those voting for the popular candidate. The data tended to support the hypothesis, but were rendered less definitive by the fact that affiliates of the political party allegedly represented by the unpopular candidate tended to cast anonymous ballots regardless o…
