Evidence from partially valid cueing that words are processed serially
There has been a longstanding debate about whether lexical and semantic processing of words is serial or parallel. We addressed this debate using partially valid cueing, where one of two words is cued. The cue was valid on 80% and invalid on the other 20% of the trials. The task was semantic categorization, and performance was measured by accuracy. The new feature was to limit attentional switching using a postmask of consonants that closely foll…
The Method of Hypothesis and the Nature of Soul in Plato's Phaedo
This study of Plato's Phaedo promotes better understanding of its arguments for the soul's immortality by showing how Plato intended them, not as proofs, but as properly dialectical arguments functioning in accordance with the method of hypothesis. Unlike the argument for the soul's immortality in the Phaedrus, which does seem intended as a proof, the Phaedo arguments are proceeding toward the first principles that could serve as the basis for a …

Aristotle and the Eleatic One
Timothy Clarke’s monograph offers a detailed explication of Aristotle’s Physics 1.2–3, two difficult chapters where, as a preliminary to his survey of views on the natural principles, Aristotle examines the thesis of Parmenides and Melissus that what is (to on) is one and unchanging. Clarke intends this explication to serve as the basis for a comprehensive account of Aristotle’s understanding of these thinkers. He contends that Aristotle represen…
Endogenous cueing effects for detection can be accounted for by a decision model of selective attention
Spatial cues help participants detect a visual target when it appears at the cued location. One hypothesis for this cueing effect, called selective perception , is that cueing a location enhances perceptual encoding at that location. Another hypothesis, called selective decision , is that the cue has no effect on perception, but instead provides prior information that facilitates decision-making. We distinguished these hypotheses by comparing a s…
Proof, Knowledge, and Scepticism
These two sizeable volumes complete OUP's publication of Jonathan Barnes's collected papers in ancient philosophy. The four volume set constitutes a partial record of the phenomenal career of one of the foremost scholars of ancient philosophy. The first two volumes—Method and Metaphysics (2011) and Logical Matters (2012) —were previously reviewed in vol. 63.1 of this journal (2015: 123–8). The twenty-two essays on epistemological matters in Proof…

The consequences are examined of the revision of Guyana's Mining Act in 1989 that was intended to allow access to international mining companies while safeguarding national interests. One outcome was the acquisition of over 75% of small-scale and over 40% of medium-scale concessions by a small number of nationals. Landlordism expanded following the spike in the international gold price from 2006. The State’s failure to modify the poorly construed…
Parmenides of Elea
Parmenides (ca. 515–after 450 bce ) of Elea in Campania composed a philosophical poem in epic hexameter on metaphysical and cosmological themes, cast in the form of a revelation imparted to him by a goddess after he journeyed to her abode in the underworld. Parmenides reports how she revealed to him the unchanging nature of true reality and, in a second stage, the natural world's principles and origins. While the significance of the first part of…
Method and Metaphysics
The publication of Jonathan Barnes's collected papers in ancient philosophy is a major event. Oxford University Press is bringing together in four sizeable volumes most of the articles and essays with select reviews written by Barnes over nearly half a century. The first two volumes, reviewed here, are followed by his essays on ancient epistemology in Proof, Knowledge, and Scepticism (2014), and by what remains in Mantissa (2015). [For the writin…
Towards a model of the intervention process
This paper explores the challenging circumstances when one part of government decides that the performance of a subsidiary part is unacceptable and arranges some kind of remedial intervention. Following the detailed analysis of a series of four central local government interventions we develop a model of the intervention process that combines the type of problem addressed (service-specific and/or corporate) and approach to intervention available …

Highlighted topics include application of the Americans with Disabilities Act to prisons, protection given to HIV-positive inmates, and actions of the Supreme Court and Congress to stem the flow of prison li…
Revelation and Reasoning in Kalliopeia’s Address to Empedocles
The speaker who self-identifies as a god after the painter analogy in Empedocles' On nature cannot be Empedocles himself, since other fragments make it clear that he does not regard himself as a god. This paper accordingly advances and explores the hypothesis that the speaker here is the Muse Kalliopeia, who is elsewhere invoked by Empedocles and identified for Pausanias as the source of his more than mortal understanding. This hypothesis is seen…

Classical Representations and Uses of the Presocratics
Anyone interested in the influence of Presocratic thought may be tempted to begin with Plato and Aristotle. There is, however, sufficient evidence of Presocratic influence among the sophists to make it clear that this temptation should be resisted. Some traces of this earlier influence may be found in Plato and Aristotle themselves, and this fact should serve as a reminder that their own involvement with Presocratic philosophy did not take place …
Parmenides and presocratic philosophy
Parmenides of Elea is generally considered the most profound and challenging of the pre-Socratic philosophers. John Palmer develops and defends a fundamentally original interpretation of Parmenides and his place in early Greek thought. An appendix presents a Greek text of the fragments of Parmenides' poem with English translation and notes

Relations Among Spontaneous Preferences, Familiarized Preferences, and Novelty Effects
We here describe a discrete trial, forced-choice, combined spontaneous preference and novelty preference technique. In this technique, spontaneous preferences and familiarized (postfamiliarization) preferences are measured with the same stimulus pairs under closely parallel conditions. A variety of systematic stimulus variations were used in 16-week-old infants to explore the interrelations among spontaneous preferences, familiarized preferences,…
Melissus And Parmenides
Association or even assimilation of the thought of Parmenides and Melissus has 1ong been standard in histories of early Greek philosophy. While certain of the more apparent differences between their two systems have always been recognized, some scholars have found reasons to criticize this traditional association at a deeper leve1. Most significantly, Jonathan Barnes has argued that Melissus, not Parmenides, should be credited with the invention …

Medical care of asthma and wheezing illness in children
A survey was carried out to investigate the medical care of asthma and wheezing illness in a school population. Children with current wheezing illness were identified by a screening questionnaire to the parents of 5100 children in one school cohort from all schools in an outer London borough. Of the 89% who responded, 11.1% reported wheezing within the past 12 months. Parents of a sample of 284 wheezy children aged about 9 were interviewed at hom…

Attribution of hostile intent as unconscious1
The Marlowe-Crowne, Repressor-Sensitizer, and Internal-External Scales and Attribution of Unconscious Hostile Intent
Two follow-up experiments demonstrated weak and inconsistent relationships between attribution of unconscious hostile intent and other variables, thus casting doubt on its use as a construct. The Repressor-Sensitizer and Internal-External scales intercorrelated for both sexes, but the Marlowe-Crowne scale was related to the other scales for males only, suggesting that results with this scale should not be generalized across sexes

Xenophanes’ Ouranian God in the Fourth Century
Aristotle’s dismissal of Xenophanes in the Metaphysics may give the impression that he had a rather low estimation of him. It will be useful to qualify this impression somewhat before proceeding to the substance of the view he attributes to Xenophanes. One needs to consider both the implications of Aristotle’s general dismissal of the Eleatics from his present enquiry and the specific criticisms he directs against the character of Xenophanes’ vie…
Plato’s Parmenides
I shall suggest that Plato understood Parmenides as presenting in the deduction that comprises the bulk of BS a description of the cosmos in its intelligible aspect qua being. This description is compatible with a description of the cosmos considered from another perspective as a differentiated world system. We shall also see that the possibility of considering the cosmos from different perspectives and describing it in its different aspects rela…
Plato’s Reception of Parn1enides
John Palmer presents a new and original account of Plato's uses and understanding of his most important Presocratic predecessor, Parmenides. Adopting an innovative approach to the appraisal of intellectual influence, Palmer first explores the Eleatic underpinnings of central elements in Plato's middle-period epistemology and metaphysics. He then shows how in the later dialogues Plato confronts various sophistic appropriations of Parmenides while …
Aristotle on the Ancient Theologians
Etude du traitement chez Aristote des figures de la tradition religio-mythique precedant l'emergence de la philosophie naturelle. A travers l'exemple de Xenophane en «Metaphysique» A, 5, l'A. montre que l'utilisation de l'etymologie pour rendre compte du developpement cyclique de la civilisation permet a Aristote de justifier sa theorie de l'histoire par la sagesse precataclysmique des theologiens anciens.
