Presence of kratom in opioid overdose deaths
The findings of this brief report provide insight into the role that mitragynine (kratom) may have in modulating risk of opioid-related deaths. The combined use of kratom with opioids such as fentanyl appears most likely to increase the risk of a fatal overdose, but it may also occur with other medications such as benzodiazepines and psychiatric medications. It is a serious concern that in the midst of the opioid overdose epidemic there is a grow…
Worsening psychosis associated with administrations of buspirone and concerns for intranasal administration
Buspirone is commonly used to treat generalized anxiety disorder and demonstrates a limited side-effect profile compared to other anxiolytics. Buspirone is considered generally safe, and neuropsychiatric adverse reactions are uncommon. There are rare clinical case reports that suggest buspirone-induced psychosis. We present a case of buspirone worsening psychosis for a patient psychiatrically hospitalized for an episode of decompensated schizoaff…
Spencer, Herbert (1820–1903)
Herbert Spencer was a nineteenth‐century British social and political theorist and moral philosopher. His most important work in social theory was the three‐volume The Principles of Sociology (1876–1896). His most important study in ethics was his two‐volume The Principles of Ethics (1879–1893). In these works, and in many others, he argued that, thanks to Lamarckian use‐inheritance and natural selection, human societies evolved from prehistoric …
Jewish Exiles and European Thought in the Shadow of the Third Reich
Hans Baron, Karl Popper, Leo Strauss and Erich Auerbach were among the many German-speaking Jewish intellectuals who fled Continental Europe with the rise of Nazism in the 1930s. Their scholarship, though not normally considered together, is studied here to demonstrate how, despite their different disciplines and distinctive modes of working, they responded polemically in the guise of traditional scholarship to their shared trauma. For each, the …

"Erich Auerbach and His "Figura
Auerbach's goal in writing "Figura" and Mimesis was the rejection of Aryan philology and Nazi barbarism, based on racism, chauvinism and the mythologies of Blood, Volk and Soil, which eliminated the Old Testament from the Christian canon and hence from European culture and civilization. Following the Nazi Revolution of 1933 and the triumph of Aryan philology, Auerbach began writing "Figura," published in 1938, where he provided an apology for the…
Consequentialist cosmopolitanism
Liberals hold that the ultimate purpose of politics is nothing narrower than to help men to advance towards the best type. No people can reach the goal, indeed, unless they have liberty: but there may be stages in the march when unrestrained liberty is rather a hindrance to them than a help. A barbarian race may prosper best if for a period, even for a long period, it surrenders the right of self-government in exchange for the teachings of civili…

Exile and interpretation
The essay explores how Popper used ‘critical interpretation’ to interpret Plato, Hegel and Marx idiosyncratically as his ‘war effort’ polemic against fascism waged from forced exile in New Zealand during WWII. ‘Critical interpretation’ was a form of scientific ‘critical rationalism’ adapted to textual interpretation. Exile spurred Popper to fight. ‘Critical interpretation’ was his method of fighting. The Open Society and Its Enemies and The Pover…
Vindicating Utilitarianism
This essay examines D. G. Ritchie's claim that ‘in Ethics the theory of natural selection has vindicated all that has proved most permanently valuable in Utilitarianism.’ Principally, it endeavours to determine what Ritchie means by ‘Vindicated’ and what kind of utilitarianism he thinks evolutionary theory vindicates. With respect to the kind of utilitarianism vindicated, I will show how he tries to fortify Millian liberal utilitarianism with new…
Captain Video
The history of Captain Video, television's first foray into science fiction and fantasy, illustrates the way early writers and producers created formulas for telling stories on television while teaching young viewers about a dangerous Cold War world. Captain Video aired nationally over the DuMont Television Network from 1949 to 1955
The New Liberalism
The 'New Liberalism' of the late nineteenth/early twentieth century is an unjustifiably neglected strand of the liberal tradition. By emphasising community as well as rights and liberty, thinkers such as T. H. Green, J. A. Hobson and L. T. Hobhouse support, but in distinctive ways, recent challenges to the established dichotomy between communitarianism and liberalism. These essays examine new liberal thinking and conclude that liberal and communi…
Deductive Hedonism and the Anxiety of Influence
This paper examines the undervalued role of Herbert Spencer in Sidgwick's thinking. Sidgwick recognized Spencer's utilitarianism, but criticized him on the ground that he tried to deduce utilitarianism from evolutionary theory. In analysing these criticisms, this paper concludes that Spencer's deductive methodology was in fact closer to Sidgwick's empiricist position than Sidgwick realized. The real source of Sidgwick's unhappiness withSpencer li…

Growth, Economies of Scale, and Targeting in Japan (1955-1990)
This paper explores the usage of various industrial policy tools in Japan. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, the authors find that a disproportionate amount of Japanese targeting occurred in low-growth sectors and sectors with decreasing returns to scale. In addition, they find no evidence that productivity was enhanced as a result of industrial policy measures. Copyright 1996 by MIT Press

Between Kantianism and Consequentialism in T. H. Green's Moral Philosophy
This essay explores the good-maximizing role of freedom and stringent moral rights in Green's theory and his assessment of utilitarianism, notably Mill's improved utilitarianism. Though critical of Benthamite utilitarianism, Green was favourably disposed to Mill's version of utilitarianism. Mill sometimes understood the good to be maximized appropriately (especially where Mill embraced the virtue of ‘self-development’). The ‘practical’ strategies…

The Discourse of Freedom, Rights and Good in Nineteenth-Century English Liberalism
For both its enthusiastic adherents as well as its more generous opponents, liberalism commands considerable ethical appeal but at a price. And that price is its lack of systematic integrity or coherence. The charm of its ethical appeal stems from the great values which it celebrates. But for many these very values seem fatally incommensurable, seem to be forever colliding with and thwarting one another. As Isaiah Berlin has never tired of remind…
The Relationship of Liking and Choice to Attributes of an Alternative and Their Saliency
Evaluations of specific attributes of a subcompact automobile were combined in linear regressions to predict overall liking and purchase intention. Of two forms-raw scales and scales weighted by the importance attached to each attribute by each subject-unweighted evaluations proved more consistent and important predictors than did these same evaluations weighted by their saliency
