Hylomorphic virtue: Cosmology, embryology, and moral development in Aristotle
Aristotle is traditionally read as dividing animal souls into three parts (nutritive, perceptive, and thinking), while dividing human souls into four parts (a rational part, with theoretical and practical subparts, and non-rational part, with nutritive and desiderative subparts). But careful reading of Nicomachean Ethics 1.13 suggests that he divides the human soul into three parts – the nutritive, the theoretical, and the “practical” – but allow…
Psychic contingency in the Republic
The most notorious difference between the Phaedo and Republic is the detailed presentation of the tripartite soul in the latter in contrast with the one-part psychology of the former. This chapter examines what difference this makes for our understanding of the three "types" of virtue namely slavish virtue, political or civic, habituated virtue and genuine or philosophical virtue. In the Phaedo's conception of a philosopher, the chapter argues th…

Mind, Self and Psychopathology: Reflections on Philosophy, Theory and the Study of Mental Illness
The past decade has seen a significant rapprochement between philosophy and the study of psychopathology in the English-speaking world. There is encouraging evidence of genuine dialogue: many philosophers, psychiatrists and psychologists are interested not only in how recent philosophical work on mind and self can increase our understanding of anomalous and paradoxical aspects of various disorders, but also in the ways these disorders challenge t…

Rewriting the Soul: Multiple Personality and the Sciences of Memory
The destructuring of society and the restructuring of art
Artists face a crisis which threatens not only their livelihood but also their concept of what, how, and with whom they communicate. Working capital, as opposed to idle wealth, is deserting the developed countries in favor of those without financial or social regulation; public and private support for the arts, along with other societal amenities such as health, education and welfare, is therefore evaporating. Artists who do not want to devote th…

M Post of us believe that we have reasons to care about our own future selves and that these reasons differ, either in degree or in kind, from the reasons we have to act on behalf of one another. It is often assumed that an adequate account of personal identity should be able to explain-and perhaps also to justifythe sort of concern we have for our future selves. And this is thought to pose a special problem for psychological continuity accounts …
Cognitive Assessment and Student Attitude
A mastery learning strategy was used to teach undergraduate microbiology to part‐time HNC and BSc students. Their performance was cognitively assessed in terms of Bloom's taxonomy. Their changes of attitude were measured by comparison of questionnaires after the introduction to the strategy and after the return of the assessed post‐test. Two performance groups were discovered. Both groups showed positive attitude changes toward the tutor controll…
