Learning Andy Clark & David Chalmers’ ‘The Extended Mind’ through Christopher Nolan’s Memento
This article presents a case for engaging with fictional narratives to teach philosophical concepts, specifically exploring Christopher Nolan’s Memento to teach concepts related to Andy Clark and David Chalmers’ ‘The Extended Mind Thesis’ (EMT). I contrast a ‘theoretical’ approach to teaching EMT—that is, teaching these concepts by engaging directly with Clark and Chalmers’ text—with an alternative that has students engage with the film. I argue …
A validation of the body compassion scale in females
Body compassion bridges together the constructs of body image and self-compassion and refers to the relationship people have with their bodies, encompassing defusion, common humanity and acceptance. The purpose of the current study was to validate the 23-item Body Compassion Scale (BCS), in a female sample, and to determine the distinctiveness of body compassion from the similar construct of self-compassion. A total of 513 females completed an on…
Bentham on Mensuration
This article argues that Bentham was committed to attempting to measure the outcomes of rules by calculating the values of the pains and pleasures to which they gave rise. That pleasure was preferable to pain, and greater pleasure to less, were, for Bentham, foundational premises of rationality, whilst to abjure calculation was to abjure rationality. However, Bentham knew that the experience of pleasure and pain, the ‘simple’ entities which provi…
He's telling us something
Drawing on in-depth interviews with patients and participant observation notes from a cancer support group and outpatients department, we analyse the experiences of Australian-born and immigrant women with gynaecological cancer to describe cancer diagnosis disclosures from the patients' perspectives and examine women's treatment decision-making. Data suggest that most women did not question the surgeon's recommendation and assumed a passive role …
Never Shoulda Been Let out the Penitentiary
In January 1994, a CNN/USA Today poll argued that the issue most troubling Americans was crime, an anxiety that has arisen despite the statistical decreases in violent crimes from 1973 to 1992. During this period, violent crime against white Americans dropped from 31.6 to 29.9 per 1,000 people. The statistics, however, show a different picture for blacks as the numbers rose in the same period from 41.7 to 50.4 crimes per 1,000 people. Homicide ra…
Jeremy Bentham on the Relief of Indigence
This paper will attempt to provide an overview of Bentham's fundamental thinking with regard to the relief of indigence. The manuscripts on which it draws form the texts of unpublished works, namely a set of ‘Three Essays on the Poor Laws’, which were completed by Bentham, and ‘Pauper Systems Compared’, which remains in a comparatively unfinished state. In the ‘Essays’, Bentham considers first the question of whether the relief of indigence shoul…
