Download or read book The Foundations of Quantum Mechanics written by Claudio Garola and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2000 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a sample of the present research on the foundations of quantum mechanics and related topics by collecting the papers of the Italian scholars who attended the conference entitled ?The Foundations of Quantum Mechanics ? Historical Analysis and Open Questions? (Lecce, 1998). The perspective of the book is interdisciplinary, and hence philosophical, historical and technical papers are gathered together so as to allow the reader to compare different viewpoints and cultural approaches. Most of the papers confront, directly or indirectly, the objectivity problem, taking into account the positions of the founders of QM or more recent developments. More specifically, the technical papers in the book pay special attention to the interpretation of the experiments on Bell's inequalities and to decoherence theory, but topics on unsharp QM, the consistent-history approach, quantum probability and alternative theories are also discussed. Furthermore, a number of historical and philosophical papers are devoted to Planck's, Weyl's and Pauli's thought, but topics such as quantum ontology, predictivity of quantum laws, etc., are treated.
Download or read book Interpretazione del Mondo come volont e rappresentazione di Schopenhauer written by Giovanni Piana and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-01-19 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questo libro si presenta come un ausilio alla lettura dell'opera maggiore di Schopenhauer. Ma il lettore si rende conto ben presto che l'autore percorre un sentiero interpretativo il cui punto focale non è più il "pessimismo" - ma piuttosto il "naturalismo", ovvero l'interesse per la natura come una totalità in cui l'uomo stesso è profondamente immerso - una totalità armoniosa, che è simbolicamente rappresentata, in ambito musicale, dalla triade consonantica. Certo, in Schopenhauer, la partecipazione dell'uomo a questa totalità è ricca di difficoltà - nella natura non vi è solo armonia, ma anche "fame inappagata", desiderio inestinguibile: in questo libro si tenta di penetrare in questa difficile dialettica cercando di introdurre ai problemi che essa solleva. Come Appendice è stata inclusa una guida alla lettura della prima edizione della "Quadruplice radice del principio di ragione sufficiente", che in realtà precede il "Mondo" e ne fornisce i presupposti teorici.

Download or read book Protecting Personal Information written by Andrea Monti and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of privacy has long been confused and incoherent. The right to privacy has been applied promiscuously to an alarmingly wide-ranging assortment of issues including free speech, political consent, abortion, contraception, sexual preference, noise, discrimination, and pornography. The conventional definition of privacy, and attempts to evolve a 'privacy-as-a-fence' approach, are unable to deal effectively with the technological advances that have significantly altered the way information is collected, stored, and communicated. Social media such as Facebook pose searching questions about the use and protection of personal information and reveal the limits of conceiving the right to privacy as synonymous with data protection. The recent European Union's GDPR seeks to enforce greater protection of personal information, but the overlap with privacy has further obscured its core meaning. This book traces these troubling developments, and seeks to reveal the essential nature of privacy and, critically, what privacy is not.

Download or read book Medical Anthropology in Europe written by Elisabeth Hsu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together three generations of medical anthropologists working at European universities to reflect on past, current and future directions of the field. Medical anthropology emerged on an international playing ground, and while other recently compiled anthologies emphasize North American developments, this volume highlights substantial ethnographic and theoretical studies undertaken in Europe. The first four chapters trace the beginnings of medical anthropology back into the two formative decades between the 1950s-1970s in Italy, German-speaking Europe, the Netherlands, France and the UK, supported by four brief vignettes on current developments. Three core themes that emerged within this field in Europe – the practice of care, the body politic and psycho-sensorial dimensions of healing – are first presented in synopsis and then separately discussed by three leading medical anthropologists Susan Whyte, Giovanni Pizza and René Devisch, complemented by the work of three early career researchers. The chapters aim to highlight how very diverse (and sometimes overlooked) European developments within this rapidly growing field have been, and continue to be. This book will spur reflection on medical anthropology’s potential for future scholarship and practice, by students and established scholars alike. This book was originally published as a special issue of Anthropology and Medicine.
Download or read book The Idea of Work in Europe from Antiquity to Modern Times written by Catharina Lis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume takes a fresh and innovative approach to the history of ideas of work, concerning perceptions, attitudes, cultures and representations of work throughout Antiquity and the medieval and early modern periods. Focusing on developments in Europe, the contributors approach the subject from a variety of angles, considering aspects of work as described in literature, visual culture, and as perceived in economic theory. As well as external views of workers the volume also looks at the meaning of work for the self-perception of various social groups, including labourers, artisans, merchants, and noblemen, and the effects of this on their self-esteem and social identity. Taking a broad chronological approach to the subject provides readers with a cutting-edge overview of research into the varying attitudes to work and its place in pre-industrial society.
