Bosch, Hieronymus: The Temptation of St Anthony c. 1500; Oil on panel, tryptych describing the ordeals of St Anthony; Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon Bosch's spiritual heroes were the saints who endured both physical and mental torment, yet remained steadfast. Among the saints, Bosch's favorite was Saint Anthony, the subject of his triptych The Temptation of Saint Anthony (c.1500; Museo National de Arte Antiga, Lisbon), which features physical punishment on the left wing, a Black Mass in the center, and the blandishments of food and sex on the right wing. Bosch was preoccupied with themes of torment and the sinfulness of man, which replaced earlier, more optimistic visions of Christ and the Virgin with feelings of anxiety, fear, and guilt. In Bosch's day, temptation not only had the meaning it has today, but also meant physical/mental assault by demons.

Travel Fakultätsbilder (Universität Wien) Die Hygieia (griechisch „Gesundheit“) aus dem Fakultätsbild Medizin von Klimt in einer Reproduktion des Originals (Ausschnitt) Mit ihrer Anfertigung wurden im Jahre 1894 die Künstler Gustav Klimt und Franz Matsch beauftragt. Klimt sollte dabei die Bilder für die Philosophie, Medizin und Jurisprudenz übernehmen, Matsch sollte das Bild für die Theologie anfertigen. Bereits bei der ersten Ausstellung des Bildes „Philosophie“ bei der siebten Kunstausstellung der Wiener Secession im Jahr 1900 kam es zu massiver öffentlicher Kritik, vor allem seitens der Professoren der Universität. Klimts Darstellungsweise entsprach überhaupt nicht den Vorgaben der Auftraggeber und auch nicht seinen vorab eingereichten Entwurfsskizzen, sondern zeigte eine zutiefst pessimistische und kritische Perspektive der Wissenschaft. Das Bild „Theologie“ von Franz Matsch ist bis heute im Besitz der Universität Wien und befindet sich in der Katholisch-Theologischen Fakultät.
Moral Relativism First published Thu Feb 19, 2004; substantive revision Tue Dec 9, 2008 Moral relativism has the unusual distinction—both within philosophy and outside it—of being attributed to others, almost always as a criticism, far more often than it is explicitly professed by anyone. Nonetheless, moral relativism is a standard topic in metaethics, and there are contemporary philosophers who defend forms of it: The most prominent are Gilbert Harman and David B. Wong. 1. Though moral relativism did not become a prominent topic in philosophy or elsewhere until the twentieth century, it has ancient origins. Among the ancient Greek philosophers, moral diversity was widely acknowledged, but the more common nonobjectivist reaction was moral skepticism, the view that there is no moral knowledge (the position of the Pyrrhonian skeptic Sextus Empiricus), rather than moral relativism, the view that moral truth or justification is relative to a culture or society. 2. Descriptive Moral Relativism (DMR). 3.

It's across the street from the Votivkirche. Today, this space is occupied by the Votiv Cafe. The Arkaden was patronized by members of the Vienna Circle. Here's a relevant description from Wittgenstein in Vienna by Allan S. Janik and Hans Veigl ([New York: Springer, 1998] p. 188): "[Kurt Godel] sat frequently with [Rudolf] Carnap in this cafe, which was in the arcaded building built in 1883 ... opposite the university's stately old main building. ... Members of the Vienna Circle also frequented the Cafe Josephinum. The Cafe Josephinum makes an appearance at the beginning of Janna Levin's novel, A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines: "At the centre of the Circle is a circle: a clean, round, white marble tabletop. Another hangout for members of the Vienna Circle was the Cafe Reichsrat (also no longer in existence). I wonder if Cafe Reichsrat was owned by Walther Mayer.
Small Business Fundraising | Raise Money Online | FunderHut Catch-22 (logic) A catch-22 is a paradoxical situation from which an individual cannot escape because of contradictory rules.[1][2] Catch-22s often result from rules, regulations, or procedures that an individual is subject to but has no control over. One connotation of the term is that the creators of the "catch-22" have created arbitrary rules in order to justify and conceal their own abuse of power. Joseph Heller coined the term in his 1961 novel Catch-22, which describes absurd bureaucratic constraints on soldiers in World War II. Different formulations of "Catch-22" appear throughout the novel. In a final episode, Catch-22 is described to Yossarian by an old woman recounting an act of violence by soldiers:[5][6] "Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing."" According to literature professor Ian Gregson, the old woman's narrative defines "Catch-22" more directly as the "brutal operation of power", stripping away the "bogus sophistication" of the earlier scenarios.[7]

Background Note: A TENS unit by definition delivers enough current to cause muscle contraction. We have previously discussed "neuroprosthetics," that is, designing a machine that interfaces with living neurons to control a device or for sensory substitution. For example, functional electrical stimulation can often be used to help someone stand up, or to improve walking by helping to swing a foot forward. In addition, if someone has an artificial limb, such as a robotic arm, they can use the electrical activity generated by the electromyographic signals in their pectoral muscles to control the motors and control systems in the robotic arm.

Hi, I'm Jack Ganssle and welcome to the embedded news and video blog, which is a companion to my free online embedded news e-newsletter. I read an awful lot of code and I'm constantly astonished at some of the really poor names that people select for their variables and functions. Why is it that every index variable is named "i", or for nested loops "ii" or my personal favorite, "iii". There are some variable names which you see which are really baffling. I believe that with 2 exceptions, we should not permit any abbreviations or acronyms in our names.
