Cultural relativism as an ethnocentric notion
The anthropologists who have advocated the doctrine of cultural (or ethical) relativism have done so with the avowed aim of combating ethnocentrism. This chapter argues that relativism is itself a particular form of ethnocentrism. Perhaps the point to bear in mind is that relativists chiefly intend to be arguing against absolutism, which they identify with ethnocentrism. Cultural relativism, which stresses the universals in human experience as ag…

Finding Missing Objects in Biblical Hebrew (with an Appendix on Missing Subjects)
Missing object complements are significant for the grammar and the lexicon. An explanation is called for of their syntactic status, the basis for their “recovery” or interpretation in discourse, constrictions on what type of objects may be missing, and their information-structure status in the context of object marking more generally. In this essay I present a taxonomy of missing complements in Biblical Hebrew from the perspective of information …

S ummary . One aspect of the validity of the BAS was assessed for 20 children, mean age 10 years, from British Columbia, comparing their BAS scores with those for the WISC‐R and WRAT‐R. Correlations were found to be high, especially for general ability measures and for verbal IQ scores. Lower but still significant correlations were found between all other scales and the Visual IQ of the BAS, suggesting that the Visual IQ may be more independent o…
Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein
In recent years there has been a tendency in some quarters to see an affinity between the views of Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein on the subject of religious belief. It seems to me that this is a mistake, that Kierkegaard's views were fundamentally at odds with Wittgenstein's. That this fact is not generally recognized is, I suspect, owing to the obscurity of Kierkegaard's most fundamental assumptions. My aim here is to make those assumptions expli…
