Nietzsche, Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics explores how
Nietzsche criticizes, adopts, and reformulates Kant's critique of
metaphysics and his transcendental idealism. Thing in itself and
phenomenon, space and time, intuition and thought, the I and
self-consciousness, concepts and judgments, categories and
schemata, teleological judgement: building on established and
recent literature on these topics in both thinkers, this volume
asks whether Nietzsche can - malgr lui - be considered a Kantian of
sorts. Nietzsche's intensive engagement with early Neo-Kantians
(Lange, Liebmann, Fischer, von Helmholtz) and other contemporaries
of his, largely ignored in the Anglophone literature, is also
addressed, raising the question whether Nietzsche's positions on
Kant's theoretical philosophy are best understood as historically
embedded in the often rather loose relation they had to the first
Critique. These and other questions are taken up in Nietzsche, Kant
and the Problem of Metaphysics, which in different ways tackles the
complexities of Nietzsche's relation to Kant's theoretical
philosophy and its reception in nineteenth Century philosophy.
Research institutions are under pressure to make their outputs more
accessible in order to meet funding requirements and policy
guidelines. Libraries have traditionally played an important role
by exposing research output through a predominantly
institution-based digital repository, with an emphasis on storing
published works. New publishing paradigms are emerging that include
research data, huge volumes of which are being generated globally.
Repositories are the natural home for managing, storing and
describing institutional research content. New Content in Digital
Repositories explores the diversity of content types being stored
in digital repositories with a focus on research data, creative
works, and the interesting challenges they pose. Chapters in this
title cover: new content types in repositories; developing and
training repository teams; metadata schemas and standards for
diverse resources; persistent identifiers for research data and
authors; research data: the new gold; exposing and sharing
repository content; selecting repository software; repository
statistics and altmetrics.
Explores the role of repositories in the research lifecycle, and
the emerging context for increasing non-text based contentFocuses
on the management of research data in repositories and related
issues such as metadata and persistent identifiersDiscusses skills
and knowledge needed by repository staff to manage content

The philosopher Henry Richardson's short book is a defense of a
position on a neglected topic in medical research ethics. Clinical
research ethics has been a longstanding area of study, dating back
to the aftermath of the Nazi death-camp doctors and the Tuskegee
syphilis study. Most ethical regulations and institutions (such as
Institutional Review Boards) have developed in response to those
past abuses, including the stress on obtaining informed consent
from the subject. Richardson points out that that these ethical
regulations do not address one of the key dilemmas faced by medical
researchers - whether or not they have obligations towards subjects
who need care not directly related to the purpose of the study,
termed 'ancillary care obligations'. Does a researcher testing an
HIV vaccine in Africa have an obligation to provide
anti-retrovirals to those who become HIV positive during the trial?
Should a researcher studying a volunteer's brain scan, who sees a
possible tumor, do more than simply refer him or her to a
specialist? While most would agree that some special obligation
does exist in these cases, what is the basis of this obligation,
and what are its limits? Richardson's analysis of those key
questions and the development of his own position are at the heart
of this book, which will appeal to bioethicists studying research
ethics, to policy makers, and to political and moral philosophers
interested in the obligations of beneficence, one of the key issues
in moral theory.

Visual representations are an essential but highly contested means
of understanding and remembering the Holocaust. Photographs taken
in the camps in early 1945 provided proof of and visceral access to
the atrocities. Later visual representations such as films,
paintings, and art installations attempted to represent this
extreme trauma. While photographs from the camps and later
aesthetic reconstructions differ in origin, they share goals and
have raised similar concerns: the former are questioned not as to
veracity but due to their potential inadequacy in portraying the
magnitude of events; the latter are criticized on the grounds that
the mediation they entail is unacceptable. Some have even
questioned any attempt to represent the Holocaust as inappropriate
and dangerous to historical understanding. This book explores the
taboos that structure the production and reception of Holocaust
images and the possibilities that result from the transgression of
those taboos. Essays consider the uses of various visual media,
aesthetic styles, and genres in representations of the Holocaust;
the uses of perpetrator photography; the role of trauma in memory;
aesthetic problems of mimesis and memory in the work of Lanzmann,
Celan, and others; and questions about mass-cultural
representations of the Holocaust. David Bathrick is Emeritus
Professor of German at Cornell University, Brad Prager is Associate
Professor of German at the University of Missouri, and Michael D.

The diversity of Nietzsche's books, and the sheer range of his
philosophical interests, have posed daunting challenges to his
interpreters. This Oxford Handbook addresses this multiplicity by
devoting each of its 32 essays to a focused topic, picked out by
the book's systematic plan. The aim is to treat each topic at the
best current level of philosophical scholarship on Nietzsche. The
first group of papers treat selected biographical issues: his
family relations, his relations to women, and his ill health and
eventual insanity. In Part 2 the papers treat Nietzsche in
historical context: his relations back to other philosophers-the
Greeks, Kant, and Schopenhauer-and to the cultural movement of
Romanticism, as well as his own later influence in an unlikely
place, on analytic philosophy. The papers in Part 3 treat a variety
of Nietzsche's works, from early to late and in styles ranging from
the 'aphoristic' The Gay Science and Beyond Good and Evil through
the poetic-mythic Thus Spoke Zarathustra to the florid
autobiography Ecce Homo. This focus on individual works, their
internal unity, and the way issues are handled within them, is an
important complement to the final three groups of papers, which
divide up Nietzsche's philosophical thought topically. The papers
in Part 4 treat issues in Nietzsche's value theory, ranging from
his metaethical views as to what values are, to his own values of
freedom and the overman, to his insistence on 'order of rank', and
his social-political views. The fifth group of papers treat
Nietzsche's epistemology and metaphysics, including such well-known
ideas as his perspectivism, his INSERT: Included in Starkmann 40%
promotion, September-October 2014 being, and his thought of eternal
recurrence. Finally, Part 6 treats another famous idea-the will to
power-as well as two linked ideas that he uses will to power to
explain, the drives, and life. This Handbook will be a key resource
for all scholars and advanced students who work on Nietzsche.
This volume in the Coulson and Richardson series in chemical
engineering contains full worked solutions to the problems posed in
volume 1. Whilst the main volume contains illustrative worked
examples throughout the text, this book contains answers to the
more challenging questions posed at the end of each chapter of the
main text.
These questions are of both a standard and non-standard nature,
and so will prove to be of interest to both academic staff teaching
courses in this area and to the keen student. Chemical engineers in
industry who are looking for a standard solution to a real-life
problem will also find the book of considerable interest.
* An invaluable source of information for the student studying the
material contained in "Chemical Engineering" Volume 1
* A helpful method of learning - answers are explained in full

Empaths are highly sensitive and feel other people’s energies and
emotions as if they were their own. Uniquely intuitive and
hyper-perceptive, empaths are also more sensitive to collective
energy, the energy of spaces, and in some cases even physical
stimuli like noise. Interacting with the world so intimately is a
blessing, yet it also means your relationship strategies as an
empath—not just regarding romantic love, but in all areas—must
be navigated thoughtfully. Romantic partners, friends, coworkers,
and family members all present opportunities for uncommonly close
connections, though empaths might fall into rescuing, codependency,
or people-pleasing as unhealthy relationship coping skills. Â
Instead, learn to: * More mindfully choose between feeling with
others or staying in your own energy and emotions. * Support loved
ones from a place of healthy detachment and discernment. * Be more
assertive about getting your needs and desires met. *
Protect and nourish your sensitive system. * Understand and
maximize your intuition. * Nurture your relationships to create
more healing intimacy. * Engage with collective energy in an
empowered way to be of service and live with more purpose. Â
Author and professional intuitive Tanya Carroll Richardson has
worked with thousands of empath clients from all over the world.
Here she presents a guide to relationships of all kinds with
empaths and sensitives specifically in mind, complete with quizzes,
interactive exercises, and helpful mantras that make this book a
valuable resource for connecting with yourself as well as creating
more fulfilling interactions with others.Â
