  • Robert Garner and Yewande Okuleye, The Oxford Group and the Emergence of Animal Rights

    Open AccessJohn SimonsARTICLESocial History of Medicine2021

    This is an interesting book about an interesting group of people. The question is to whom might it be interesting and why? The claim is that a small group of postgraduates, which included Peter Singer, came together at the University of Oxford in the late 1960s and had a formative impact on the development of the discourses and disciplines of animal rights. Certainly, they collectively published Animals, Men and Morals, which is probably the firs…

    This is a short but ambitious book.Within the space of 150 pages, the author, a professor of philosophy at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, seeks to demonstrate the reasonableness of basic Christian claims, specifically, that God exists and that Jesus Christ is God in a unique and exclusive way.The book is ambitious because Evans's apology is developed in response to virtu ally every conceivable contemporary objection to the truth claims…

    John Simons, Gisela N BernsARTICLEThe German Quarterly1987

    An exploration of the poetic function of Greek archetypes in Schiller's "Wallenstein", this study claims Homer's "Iliad" and Euripides's "Iphigenia in Aulis", the first epic and the last tragic poem about the Trojan War in the Greek tradition, as archetypal sources for Schiller's modern historical drama about the Thirty Years War. In close comparison with Voss's translation of the "Iliad" and Schiller's own translation of "Iphigenia in Aulis", Be…

  • Biology in Australia – Its History and Successes

    John SimonsARTICLEInterdisciplinary Science Reviews1987

    Botany Bay, on the east coast of Australia and a few miles south of Sydney Harbour, is famous on two counts. Historically, it was the site originally chosen by the British government for founding a penal colony and, despite the fact that no convicts were actually landed there, it became in convict-lore and folksong the symbol of the infamous system by which Australia was first colonised. Its second claim to fame, and one to which the first is not…

  • The Potential of the Traditional Birth Attendant

    A Mangay Maglacas, John SimonsARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1986Cited by: 1

    Diverse aspects of the training and ongoing use of the traditional birth attendant (TBA) to extend the health care system into marginal areas of developing countries are discussed. One of the most compelling reasons for giving medical training is the high number of annual deaths from neonatal tetanus (estimated in the 100s of 1000s) resulting from poor care of the cut umbilical cord. Combination of training with effective immunization programs wo…

    John D Simons, John SimonsARTICLEThe German Quarterly1983

    It is a little known fact that slips of the tongue and kindred errors are common throughout the history of literature. They are called by various names. In classical antiquity they were known as lapsus linguae; in eighteenth-century Germany, eine Naivitit; in France, une naivete. In the twentieth century we speak of a Freudian slip.' Specialists in the theory of error refer to it as parapraxis.2 In his essay Ober naive and sentimentalische Dichtu…
