Dr Cowley’s reading list
Abraham Cowley’s Sex Libri Plantarum (1668) is one of the most learned texts of the English Restoration. Presented as a guide to a subject 'that lies out of the common Road of Learning', it includes copious notes relating its treatment of plants to sources including classical literature and modern scientific works. In this article we quantify key aspects of Cowley’s annotational practice, identifying both his most frequent citations and some of t…
The rich help of books’
Abraham Cowley’s Latin poem Sex Libri Plantarum, published posthumously in 1668, is arguably his masterpiece, yet it is relatively under-studied. Its rich annotations include scientific – mainly botanical and medical – as well as historical, linguistic, and mythological information, with many classical and early modern quotations. To date, the only published complete English translation remains the 1689 version assembled by Nahum Tate, Six Books …
Sidma as a criterion for psychiatric compulsion
Scottish mental health legislation includes a unique criterion for the use of compulsion in the delivery of mental health care and treatment. Under the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act, 2003, patients must exhibit 'significantly impaired decision-making ability' (SIDMA) in order to be eligible for psychiatric detention or involuntary psychiatric treatment outside the forensic context. The SIDMA requirement represents a distinctiv…

Intergroup atrocities in war
Studying the most extreme outcomes of intergroup hatred--murder, mass killings and genocides--has long been part of historical and social research. Neuroscientists and psychologists have also been interested in interpersonal and intergroup violence. This article considers the question of how atrocities arise from a neuroscientific perspective, focusing on war as the context in which they most often occur. It describes relevant aspects of brain fu…
Constructive‐development Theory as a Framework for Assessment in Higher Education
This paper examines the relevance of constructive‐developmental models, particularly Kegan's (1994) recent application and expansion of his earlier theory, to higher education's over‐arching aims for student learning and development. We describe why and how such theories might effectively be used to frame assessments, thus serving the goal of enhancing quality. We also explore ethical concerns associated with using development theory as a basis f…
