  • The impact of education in critical thinking on leadership in police and emergency services

    Yael M Leibovitch, Deborah J Brown et al.ARTICLEPolice Practice and Research2025

    Critical thinking is a widely acknowledged asset for police and emergency services leadership but under-represented in leadership development programs. This study investigates how explicit development of critical thinking affects leadership understanding and practice among these groups. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through focus groups and semi-structured interviews with participants in the Australian Institute o…

  • Nature, Artifice, and Discovery in Descartes’ Mechanical Philosophy

    Open AccessDeborah J BrownARTICLEPhilosophies2023

    It is often assumed that in the collapse of the Aristotelian distinction between art and nature that results from the rise of mechanical philosophies in the early modern period, the collapse falls on the side of art. That is, all of the diversity among natures that was explained previously as differences among substantial forms came to be seen simply as differences in arrangements of matter according to laws instituted by the “divine artificer”, …

  • Petticoat Power? Mary Astell's Appropriation of Heroic Virtue for Women

    Open AccessDeborah J Brown, John BroadARTICLEJournal of the American…2023

    Several recent studies devote themselves to Mary Astell's feminist theory of virtue—her ‘serious proposal to the ladies’ to help women obtain wisdom, equality, and happiness, despite the prejudices of seventeenth-century custom. But there has been little scholarship on Astell's conception of heroic virtues , those exceptional character traits that raise their bearers above the ordinary course of nature. Astell's appropriation of heroic virtue pos…

  • Working from theory

    Hind Hegazy, Peter Ellerton et al.ARTICLEEducational Action Research2023

    This paper describes how an action research process, centred around aprofessional development program for teaching critical thinking, enabled teachers in aspecialised program for high-achieving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students (Solid Pathways) to develop their pedagogical practices to support student cognition.

  • Descartes and the Ontology of Everyday Life

    Deborah J Brown, Calvin G NormoreBOOKDescartes and the Ontology of…2019

    Far from being the founder of an austere reductionism, Descartes is committed to a rich, multilayered, and complex metaphysics. This book begins by locating Descartes’s work against the ancient and medieval background to which he is reacting. It proceeds to argue that his theory of distinctions requires what he explicitly endorses―that in addition to minds and modes, there are material substances of every size. These substances when appropriately…

  • Agency and Attention in Malebranche’s Theory of Cognition

    Deborah Brown, Deborah J BrownCHAPTEREmotion And Cognitive Life In…2012

    How is free thinking possible when so much of what we think is determined for us in advance, shaped through accident or intention by the association of ideas? The promise of the Cartesian will-a "blind" faculty standing above the flow of information and decreeing assent, dissent, or the suspension of judgment-can, in light of such considerations, seem part of the devilish plot.

    L'énigme de Hume au sujet de la connaissance de soi repose sur l'idée qu'il n'y a pour l'esprit que deux modes d'accès épistémique à soi-même: le contact direct ou non inférentiel avec le soi, d'une part, et la connaissance indirecte, à base d'inférence, d'autre part. Hume rejette le premier de ces modes enpartant de ceci que nous n'avons dans l'introspection qu'une connaissance des expériences et jamais de la substance mentale, et il rejette le …
