This edited work draws on a range of contributed expertise to trace the fortune of an Aristotelian thesis over different periods in the history of philosophy. It presents eight cases of direct or indirect challenges to the Aristotelian passive account of human cognition, taking the reader from late antiquity to the 20th century. Chapters analyse the (often indirect) effect of Aristotle’s account o

The aim of this article is to show that at the end of the 13th century there’s a change of approach to the sophistical syllogism, going from a definition based on its formal features to a definition based on its pragmatic features. The first position is put forward by Simon of Faversham, during the 1280s, probably during his stay in Paris. The second position is put forward by Radulphus Brito, the

This paper analyses John Buridan’s approach to the notion of syllogism by putting it in the institutional and doctrinal contexts where he belongs, that is, the faculty of arts of the University of Paris and its Aristotelian logical tradition. The analysis aims to ascertain Buridan’s innovative contribution to the history of logic by underscoring the points of continuation and rupture with respect

Aristotle puts forward claims about truth in a number of places of his phil-osophical output, in works of logical, psychologico-epistemological andmetaphysical character. In these works, truth seems to be susceptible of at-tribution to thoughts, language, and things, but the modalities of these attri-butions remain unclear, as it is unclear whether these attributions are relatedto each other, and

Discussions about singular cognition, and its linguistic counterpart, are by no means exclusive to contemporary philosophy. In fact, a strikingly similar discussion, to which several medieval texts bear witness, took place in the late Middle Ages. The aim of this article is to partly reconstruct this medieval discussion, as it took place in Parisian question-commentaries on Aristotle's De anima, s

There is an abundance of commercial and open-source eye trackers available for researchers interested in gaze and eye movements. Which aspects should be considered when choosing an eye tracker? The paper describes what distinguishes different types of eye trackers, their suitability for different types of research questions, and highlights questions researchers should ask themselves to make an inf

This paper aims to shed light on the Aristotelian notion of dissent and its understanding in the medieval reception of Aristotle’s dialectics. Dissent is fundamental in Aristotle’s Topics, although its exact nature is not clear. Specifically, it is unclear whether dissent is essentially related to an epistemic quality of the premises involved, or whether it simply amounts to social disagreement ab

CONTEXT: When clinically stable, patients with A-β+ Ketosis-Prone Diabetes (KPD) manifest unique markers of amino acid metabolism. Biomarkers differentiating KPD from type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) during hyperglycemic crises would accelerate diagnosis and management.OBJECTIVE: Compare serum metabolomics of KPD, T1D and T2D patients during hyperglycemic crises, and utilize Classification a

Background: Hydrophilic polymer embolization (HPE) is a scarcely reported complication associated with endovascular procedures where the hydrophilic coating dislodges and disseminates to more distal vascular beds, leading to ischemic complications. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes associated with HPE in the literature and try to quantify it in a scoping manner. Methods: All

BackgroundIn the splice variant factor (F)V-Short, 702 residues are deleted from the B domain, resulting in exposure of an acid region (AR2; 1493-1537) that binds TFPIα. FV-Short and protein S serve as synergistic TFPIα cofactors in inhibition of FXa. In the preAR2 region, a hydrophobic patch PLVIVGL (1481-1487) is crucial for synergistic TFPIα-cofactor activity and assembly of FV-Short, TFPIα, anBackgroundIn the splice variant factor (F)V-Short, 702 residues are deleted from the B domain, resulting in exposure of an acid region (AR2; 1493-1537) that binds TFPIα.

The IFMIF-DONES Facility is a unique first-class scientific infrastructure whose construction is foreseen in Granada, Spain, in the coming years. Strong integration efforts are being made at the current project phase aiming at harmonizing the ongoing design of the different and complex Systems of the facility. The consolidation of the Diagnostics and Instrumentation, transversal across many of the
