Language Notes

Text: English, German (translation)

From

Devils and angels duke it out in these two verse masterpieces of 1923. They are, in a way, triumphant spiritual and aesthetic responses to the chaos of post WWI Europe by this century's greatest lyric poet. Difficult, if not impossible to translate, the beauty and expressive power of these works is nonetheless evident, albeit diminished, in English. As translator, Stephen Mitchell has done a fantastic job of rendering Rilke's stylistic character. Unfortunately, only poetasters could praise his wimpy, mannered reading, the sole virtue of which is his excellent phrasing. This is lyric. It should sing. All Mitchell can do is hum. Y.R.

Aristotle on Truth Paolo Crivelli

ISBN: 0521823285, 9780521823289
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Aristotle's theory of truth, which has been the most influential account of the concept of truth from Antiquity onwards, spans several areas of philosophy: philosophy of language, logic, ontology, and epistemology. In this book, the first dedicated to this topic, Paolo Crivelli discusses all the main aspects of Aristotle's views on truth and falsehood. He analyses in detail the main relevant passages, addresses some well-known problems of Aristotelian semantics, and assesses Aristotle's theory from the point of view of modern analytic philosophy. In the process he discusses most of the literature on Aristotle's semantic theory to have appeared in the last two centuries. His book vindicates and clarifies the often repeated claim that Aristotle's is a correspondence theory of truth. It will be of interest to a wide range of readers working in both ancient philosophy and modern philosophy of language.

Review

"Redman...has succeeded wondrously well.... How much time is spent socializing our new members to the ethical standards that we want to define our community enterprise? To ask such questions, as Redman forces us to do, is to enhance our awareness of the activity of what we call 'doing economics'."--Journal of Economic Literature

"The author's command of the literature under review is truly impressive, both in supporting her train of thought with pertinent illustrative material, and in revealing a thorough-going understanding of the writings surveyed.... Her work will stand firmly alongside Bruce J. Caldwell's Beyond Positivism as one of the most widely read and frequently cited sources on the history of economic methodology."--Journal of Economic Issues

"[A] valuable contribution that should be required reading for those interested in economic methodology and related questions.... The book makes the strongest case that has yet been made in the economics literature for Bartley's critical rationalism, and it provides a useful survey of recent methodological writings within the strictly 'philosophy of science' tradition."--Economics and Philosophy

"Highly recommended for undergraduate and graduate collections. Indeed, the text accounts for less than half the book; the superb documentation and splendid bibliography that fill the remaining pages should, of themselves, justify acquisition of the volume."--Choice

"A scintillating monograph, a splendid survey of the literature, and a thought-provoking essay on the current state of economics."--Mark Blaug, University of London

This book is about U.S. policy makers who have wielded enormous influence, largely behind the scenes, since the end of World War II. The advent of the Cold War brought new problems of national security for the United States. As a result, U.S. presidents no longer sat down with their secretaries of state to determine the nation's foreign policy. Instead, postwar chief executives reached out to individuals in the intelligence and military organizations and, increasingly, to advisers in the White House. The Policy Makers examines seven such advisers_from public servants in the state department to CIA directors and U.S. senators_and the policies each adviser influenced. By focusing on individuals whose policy making role was often unknown to the public, Anna Kasten Nelson and her contributors shed light on the myriad ways in which the postwar foreign policy of the United States has been shaped, sometimes in ways very damaging to the nation's security.
