Fellow Belgian American Educational. Giancarlo Ghirardi is an Italian physicist and Emeritus professor of theoretical physics at the University of Trieste. He is well known for the Ghirardi—Rimini—Weber theory GRW , which he proposed in together with Alberto Rimini and Tullio Weber, and for his contributions to the foundations of quantum mechanics. His research interests relate to variety of topics of theoretical physics; focussing since mainly on the foundations of quantum mechanics.
Ghirardi is member of the editorial board of Foundations of Physics and formerly of Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Science. He is president of the Italian Society for the Foundations of Physics, of which he is one of the founding members. Quantum Probability and Applications, L. Physical Review D Hans-Peter Grosshans born May 3, is a German theologian and philosopher of religion, with a special focus on questions and problems of hermeneutics, methodology and philosophy of science. From to he was teaching at the Faculty of Protestant Theology at the University of Tuebingen.
As well he was there debuty director of the Institute of Hermeneutics. Ian MacDougall Hacking born February 18, is a Canadian philosopher, specializing in the philosophy of science. Hacking also took his Ph. He became a lecturer at Cambridge in before shifting to Stanford in After teaching for several years at Stanford University, he spent a year at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Bielefeld, Germany, — He became Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto in and University Professor the highest honour the University of Toronto bestows on faculty in Influenced by debates involving Thomas Kuhn, Imre Lakatos, Paul Feyerabend and others, Hacking is known for bringing a historical approach to the philosophy of science.
The fourth edition of Feyerabend's book Against Method and the fiftieth anniversary edition of Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions include an Introduction by Hacking. He himself still identifies as a Cambridge analytic philosopher. Hacking defended a realism about science, "entity realism", albeit only on pragmatic and particularly experimental grounds: This form of realism encourages a realistic stance towards the entities postulated by mature sciences but skepticism towards scientific theories.
Hacking has also been influential in directing attention to the experimental and even engineering practices of science, and their relative autonomy from theory. In that way Hacking moved philosophical thinking a step further than the initial historical, but heavily theory-focused, turn of Kuhn et al. In his later work from onward , his focus has shifted somewhat from the natural sciences to the human sciences, partly under the influence of the work of Michel Foucault. In the latter book, Hacking proposed that the modern schism between subjective or personalist probability, and the long-run frequency interpretation, emerged in the early modern era as an epistemological "break" involving two incompatible models of uncertainty and chance.
As history the idea of a sharp break has been criticized, but competing 'frequentist' and 'subjective' interpretations of probability still remain today. Foucault's approach to knowledge systems and power is also reflected in Hacking's work on the historical mutability of psychiatric disorders and institutional roles for statistical reasoning in the 19th century. He labels his approach to the human sciences "dynamic nominalism" or, alternately, "dialectical realism" , a historicised form of nominalism that traces the mutual interactions over time between the phenomena of the human world and our conceptions and classifications of them.
In Rewriting the Soul: Multiple Personality and the Sciences of Memory, by developing a historical ontology of Multiple Personality Disorder, Hacking provides a discussion of how people are constituted by the descriptions of acts available to them see Acting under a description.
In Mad Travelers he documented the fleeting appearance in the s of a fugue state in which European men would walk in a trance for hundreds of miles without knowledge of their identities. In , he was awarded the first Killam Prize for the Humanities, Canada's most distinguished award for outstanding career achievements. In , he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada. Hacking was appointed visiting professor at University of California, Santa Cruz for the Winters of and On August 25, , Hacking was named winner of the Holberg International Memorial Prize, a Norwegian award for scholarly work in the arts and humanities, social sciences, law and theology.
Memorial Lecture in the Humanities. In , Hacking also gave the Howison lectures at the University of California, Berkeley, on the topic of mathematics and its sources in human behavior 'Proof, Truth, Hands and Mind'.

He is the founder of American Philosophical Quarterly. Nicholas Rescher was born in the city of Hagen in the Westphalia region of Germany. He relocated to the United States when he was He obtained a degree in mathematics at Queens College New York. Thereafter, he attended Princeton University, graduating with his Ph. From to , he served a term in the United States Marine Corps, following which from to he worked for the Rand Corporation's mathematics division.
Rescher began his career as an academic at Princeton University in He joined the philosophy department at the University of Pittsburgh in , becoming chair first associate director of its new Center for Philosophy of Science the following year. In , he founded the American Philosophical Journal. From to , Rescher served as the chairman of the philosophy department. In July , Rescher changed roles at the Center for Philosophy of Science, resigning as its director and becoming its first vice chairman.
In , he donated his philosophy collection to the Hillman Library. Rescher is a prolific writer, with over books and articles, generating the jest that Rescher is not a single person, but a committee sharing the name. Philosopher Michele Marsonet, who has published extensively on Rescher's philosophy, writes that his prolific publication is in itself the most common objection against Rescher, adding "it is, indeed, a leitmotiv of all those unwilling to discuss his ideas".
Rescher has described his own approach to philosophy as synthesizing the idealism of German and Great Britain with the pragmatism of the U. Max Planck Institute for the History of Science. By bridging the gap between the study of history and contemporary cutting-edge sciences, such as molecular biology, his work represents an example of transdisciplinarity as emerging in the present knowledge-based society.

Schuster born March 7, is a renowned theoretical chemist, known for his work with the German Nobel Laureate Manfred Eigen in developing the quasispecies model. His work has made great strides in the understanding of viruses and their replication, as well as theoretical mechanisms in the origin of life. Schuster was born in Vienna, Austria and graduated with highest honors from "gymnasium". He studied chemistry and physics at the University of Vienna and earned his PhD in Together with Eigen, Schuster developed the quasispecies model.
He is full professor of theoretical chemistry at the University of Vienna , the founding director of the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology in Jena, Germany, as well as the current head of its Department of Molecular Evolutionary Biology.

Lawrence Sklar born 25 June is an American philosopher. He is the Carl G. Hempel and William K. He worked at Swarthmore College from to , first as an instructor and then as an assistant professor. He then worked at Princeton University until United States, he said, had the power and the means to decide the fate of the 17 million miserable people groaning under the yoke of Spain.
In A Cursory View, published in but written a year earlier when the United States was still at war with Great Britain, Robinson spoke of the need to liberate "the whole Western world from the tyranny of Europe". Robinson lets loose some alarm-ing suppositions about a treaty that the two European crowns would sign in order to unite "in the invasion and dismemberment of our territory", plans that in the opinion of our author would bring dire consequences for Spain:.
Fatal day for Spain, when such a treaty may have been signed, or such a scheme agreed on! From that day the glory and splendor of the Spanish Monarchy ceases forever! The proud Castilian may then wrap himself up in the mantle of departed dignity and together with the gloomy offspring of fanaticism, may cast their fruitless sighs over departed power, and shed their unavailing tears at the shrine of superstition.
Written in the heat of the war, Robinson reproached Spain for having broken the pact of neutrality with the United Sates, by instigating the Indians of West Florida to go to war against the neighboring American inhabitants. In the face of the machinations of Great Britain and Spain against the American Union, the latter's government should have helped the Mexican people to free themselves from the despotism of the Metropolis. In less than a year, Robinson forecast, thousand volunteers "accompanied by gallant officers, with such an equipment that can be obtained with facility in Kentucky or Tennessee, would decide the fate of all Mexico in less than a year".
All that was needed to legitimate this operation was that "our Government shall step forth as the ally and friend of the Independents", 39 a step, however, that the United States government was not willing to take at any time during the years of the war between insurgents and royalists, in the second decade of the 19th Century. It appears very important to Robinson that the "ambitions and influence" of Great Britain in South America be curtailed, as their wealth "can and would be available" to them due to their naval superiority, and this would mean an income of 20 million pesos for the European power.
Great Britain had not been inclined to intervene on behalf of the revolutionaries and such was her apathy, opportun-ism and moral wanting, claimed the author, that the former "view her if possible with more jealousy and contempt" than even the Spanish themselves". He recognizes Havana as the most important nodal point for Gulf and Atlantic communications. Whoever controlled Havana, would not only control commerce to Mexico via Veracruz, but also the trade between the Southeast and East of the United States, he affirmed.
Robinson also names Coatzacoalcos as a major port, well located with regard to a possible interoceanic route that he considered feasible for development in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Communications between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans is a topic that occupies a relatively important position in Robinson's writings. The writings and sources concerning William Davis Robinson that have been analyzed in this article show his involvement in the extensive commercial and information networks in the Atlantic, and more specifically, in the Wider Ca-ribbean; networks that Robinson used for his own personal business, but that were also of use regarding his explorations into the civil wars in Spanish America and on the possibilities of strengthening a commercial and political presence for the United States in Mexico and South America, once the region was freed from Spain.
Robinson's view of the "Mexican revolution" is one of solidarity, not in a merely gratuitous way, but rather more in line with removing the "Mexican empire" from the "tyranny and oppression" of Spain and opening it up for trade with the rest of the civilized nations, especially the United States. His solidarity with the independent cause is founded on the conviction that Spanish despotism necessa-rily forced a liberation movement from the Creoles and Indians.
Robinson's mes-sage to his readers in the United States is that the United States had the "power" and the "means" to regulate the destiny of the countries in their process of liberation from Spain. Robinson's work has an eminently political character and frequently employs legal language. In personal terms, he leaves no tables unturned in his efforts to as-sert his legal rights against the injustices suffered in Venezuela and New Spain. His insistence on his own innocence, arguing that his actions were legitimate, occupies an important part of his writings.
He defends justice on his own behalf, for that of the people of New Spain and also on behalf of his country, when he speaks of the rights of the United States to lead America's struggle for freedom. Robinson's view of Spain, of her overseas possessions and their independence struggles is an American one, where the "other" is European, and specifica-lly Spanish, and who embodies grave defects such as cruelty, despotism, envy, excessive pride, and is shown to be unworthy of the civilized world. It is then, exactly the reverse vision to that of the European travelers to America in the 18 th and 19 th centuries who watched non-European peoples and their overseas descen-dants from the privilege of "Civilization".
Robinson speaks of the Western hemis-phere as the paradigm of freedom that opposes European despotism, and speaks of the political and commercial progress of the United States, of Mexico and South America, a progress that should be led and defended by the United States in the face of aggression from the Old-World powers.
With regard to Robinson's alleged official mission to gather information for the United States government regarding the war in New Spain, he repeats over and over again that he was not a spy and that he did not occupy any position in the insurgent armies; that he was only a merchant pursuing legitimate interests by legal means. As I have tried to show here, Robinson's declared objectives are contradicted by his own writings, as for example in Chapter XIII of the Memoirs, or in the text published in In these, the author makes great show of his knowledge of geopolitics, of United States foreign policy and international po-litics, knowledge that reveals greater insights into the role the United States should play in the wars of Spanish America against the Colonial regime and its involvement in the future of the newly independent States.

James Franklin would be better classified as one of those travelers who visited the recently independent Latin American countries with the aim of finding out the possibilities for production and commerce. Franklin includes explicit recommendations for English members of commerce interested in establishing trade relations with Haiti. Indeed, one of the principal objectives of Alexander von Humboldt's work is to account for the richness of South America's pristine nature; to classify the flora and fauna, and to show the wealth of bio-diversity on the subcontinent.
This objective is most clearly stated in the 5 volumes of his "Voyage to the Equinoctial Regions". This'll delay my trip a long time. I have to set my watch back; it's very fast. My watch loses ten minutes a day. I think we're getting behind in this work. The backwardness of that country's well known. The bullet pierced his arm.
I've crossed the Atlantic several times. A truck stopped crosswise in the middle of the road. He doesn't dare to tell me. What a horrible thing! An automobile ran over him. If you want to do a good job, don't rush through it.
We can't tolerate such an outrage. Three pedestrians were victims of an accident. So much noise rattles me. He was stunned and didn't know what to answer. We can still get there on time. Even now it wouldn't be possible. He hasn't come yet. Even if he doesn't come we'll have to begin.
Though I wasn't born in the country, I know it very well. He left the class because he was feeling sick. Is there enough room in the car for everybody? Which is cheaper, the bus or the street car? He couldn't maintain his authority. They reported it to the authorities. The car moved very slowly. We're not making any progress in our work. The floods ruined the crops. He agreed to what they said. He's a very promising young man. He gets ahead of everybody in his work. He shamed his whole family by his conduct.
After he said it, he was ashamed. The mechanic repaired the damage without delay. The shipment was damaged by the rain. We have to notify the police. I'm warning you for the last time. They revived the fire by putting on more wood. Why don't you keep your eyes open? Step lively; it's very late. Wake up; you're half asleep. I want to help him carry the packages.
Don't smoke on an empty stomach. Let's take that chance. He likes games of chance. He chose them at random. This would embarrass anyone. When I told him that he was very much embarrassed. The enemy suffered many casualties. There was a general fall in prices. He dropped out of the club. For lack of payment they dropped him from the subscription list. Let's go down the stairs slowly. Bring the suitcase down from my room. Will you help me take the suitcases down from the rack? They saw us as they were getting off the train. He bent over to tie his shoe.
I want a low table. He's shorter than his brother. They were speaking in a low voice. Let's put the basses on the left. The temperature's fallen below zero. The superintendent lives on the ground floor. What's my bank balance this month? Don't rock in the chair; it's going to break.
Three shots were heard. He had three bullet wounds in his chest. They're giving tickets free. He tried to get her on the phone without success. Can I cash my check in this bank? All the benches are taken. The skirt had three red bands. He wore a red sash across his chest. That band gives me a headache.
A gang of thieves works these parts. Please bathe the children. I'm going to take a bath. It's very pretty and besides it's cheap. They sell things very cheap in this store. There's a sale today in that department store. He eats too much. What he did was an outrage. I like her an awful lot. How many times have you made the trip by boat? We need an iron bar. The spectators cheered the players on.
He dicho que te calles. I told you to shut up! Do you have enough money? She's a rather pretty woman. There wasn't enough food for all.
The suit's made of very rough material. Please beat the eggs. He defeated his enemy. They haven't unpacked their trunks yet. He doesn't appreciate favors. The profits were very high. He doesn't know the difference between good and evil. He spoke very well. The beer's very cold. He has a great deal of property. He's rich rather than poor. All right or Correct.
Pay close attention to what I tell you. Have you bought the tickets? Give me the money in fives and tens. You have to put a screen in front of the door. I wish I'd bought a white dress! There are white people, Indians, and Negroes in this city. They hit the target. Leave this sheet blank. They hit the mark three times.
The soldiers had target practice in the morning. He didn't open his mouth all afternoon. The subway entrance is on the corner. The child's sleeping on his stomach. He was lying on his back on the beach. What an embarrassing situation that was! What sultry weather we're having! What a shameful action! Blow the horn so that car'll let us pass. I'm out of breath. Give me that iron ball.
We bought some tennis balls. There was a crowd of people at the entrance of the theater. She carried a silk purse. I need a paper bag to put it in. I don't know what the quotations are on the exchange today. They used a pump to take out the water. The bomb destroyed three houses. It struck like a bombshell! Where is there a filling station? Se puso una bomba. He got drunk [ Am ]. Three bulbs have burned out. Thank you for your kindness.
Please wait a moment. He was lying on the bed. Be careful, don't throw away those papers. Look how that ball bounces. I want a can of tomatoes. When he heard it he jumped. The theater was jammed. Be careful, it's a fierce bull.
British Social and Philosophical Ideas in Russia 19th —the turn of the 20th century. He gave her a diamond bracelet. He pressed down on the suitcase to close it. You're getting to be an old crab. He bought a double-barreled shotgun. During his long sojourn in Venezuela , his visits to New Grenada and his two year stay, largely forced, in New Spain, Robinson accumulated empirical knowledge and gathered documental and testimonial material, as well as read-ing several important works on America by writers such as Cornelius de Pauw, fa-ther Raynal, William Robertson, Brian Edwards and Alexander von Humboldt. You can't go where I'm going.
He got very mad. I don't like this paper; it's too shiny. He gave her a diamond bracelet. Let's drink to your health! I said it as a joke. He takes everything lightly. He's abrupt in his way of speaking. That's a very good car. It was a good opportunity. I'm not feeling very well. Bueno, nos veremos a las cinco. All right, we'll meet at five. He gave it to me willingly. They made a terrible racket. He went out with a bundle of clothes in his hand. He has a swelling on his head.
As soon as he saw what he had to do, he ducked out. They were making fun of him. Put these letters in the mail box. He's a perfect gentleman. Here's your bill, sir. She wears her hair loose. Nothing else will fit in the trunk. The piano won't go through that door. There's no doubt that he's English.
That child has a very large head. He was the leader of the movement. You have to use your brains in this work. He plunged into the water head first. Business is in a mess. He never loses his head. Ese proyecto no tiene pies ni cabeza. There's no rhyme or reason to that plan. From end to end. We can't leave any loose ends. They passed the Cape of Good Hope.
He has corporal's stripes. They put an end to the conversation. I know the story from beginning to end. They carried out the plan right away. Take this junk out of here. Every day he says something different. Every one paid for his own meal. He asks me for it every time he sees me. A heavy rain fell. He dropped to his knees. The suit's becoming to him. His birthday falls on Sunday. He was taken sick a few days ago. I didn't realize it until much later.

She fell down the stairs. Be careful, don't drop the tray. He was lame after the fall. The opposition of the House caused the fall of the government. He gave her a box. He put a lot of money in the savings bank. They keep their jewelry in the safe. Look and see how much the cash register rings up. We have to see how much cash we have on hand. I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes.
They've lost the key to the drawer. They received a box of books. She turned him down. They flunked him in geometry. He got a cramp while he was swimming. The dagger penetrated to his heart. I got home drenched. He pulled his hat down to his eyes. Let's figure out the cost of the trip. Please heat the water.
They warmed themselves in the sun. He's had a fever for the past few days. Is this good material? Be careful, the soup's very hot. Why are you so quiet? He kept quiet while we were talking. He kept the truth from us. You're talking too much. Se callaron de repente. All of a sudden they stopped talking. What street do you live on? I had no choice but to throw him out. When his business failed he was left penniless. We're in a blind alley. There was a calm after the storm. He takes his time when he works. These pills will ease the pain.
He didn't calm down until much later. I don't like the heat. It's very warm today. Everything he's saying is slander. What size shoe do you wear?
I'm going to chock the wheels so the car won't move. Please make my bed. He's been confined to bed for the past three months. What kind of a camera do you have? They were talking together like old pals. The maid hasn't made up the room yet. Ask the waitress for the menu. I want to reserve a first-class stateroom. He hasn't changed a bit since I saw him. Can you change a ten-peso bill for me? Has there been any change in policy? Do you have any change? What's the rate of exchange on the dollar today? I'll give you this book in exchange for the other one.
He's very fond of walking. You have to move cautiously in this matter. Is the road all right to drive on? I don't know how to go about getting it. They started out the following day. He was in his shirt sleeves. The soldiers will soon return to camp. I didn't hear how many times the clock struck. We lived in the country for many years. She found her first gray hair.
She has a lot of gray hair.
We passed through the Panama Canal. The boat was approaching the English Channel. They brought us a basket of fruit.
There are tennis courts in this park. What's the latest song hit? Give me a light for my cigarette. They decided to exchange prisoners. This man's very tiresome. It's a very tiring job. She gets tired quickly. He's always harping on the same string. I want to learn that song. The tenor sang very well tonight. I'll have to tell it to him straight from the shoulder.
How much do I owe you? He's a singing teacher. I like folk songs. Stand the book on edge. A lot of sugar cane is grown in Cuba. He carried a cane. They have to fix the water pipe; it's clogged. He bought a double-barreled shotgun. Have you seen the Grand Canyon? He wears a Spanish cape. The door needs another coat of paint. Poor people, they're on the downgrade! This tank has a capacity of thirty liters. He's a very capable business man. I'd like to talk to the foreman. It's a room large enough for a library.
