This paper explores the way in which the literatures on gifted education and specific cognitive aptitudes can be better integrated and inform one another to advance scientific knowledge. We first ...briefly review evidence accumulated to date on specific cognitive aptitudes and gifted samples and then explore what might be usefully investigated in the future. We consider measurement issues, value for applied uses of tests, specific cognitive aptitudes beyond what has been focused on to date and conclude with a discussion surrounding cross-field integration using the totality of evidence and consideration of policy. Continued research and better integration of research evidence across domains and translation to policy and practice might correspondingly improve basic scientific understanding of cognitive aptitudes.
•We integrate the literatures on gifted education and specific cognitive aptitudes.•We first review evidence to take on specific cognitive aptitudes in gifted samples.•We next explore potentially useful future research directions.•We focus on interdisciplinary integration and the totality of the evidence.•We consider how research to policy and practice may in turn improve research.
El presente artículo examina el concepto de totalidad en György Lukács y su actualidad. Sus propuestas se relacionan también con un análisis de las aportaciones de Fredric Jameson y Juan Carlos ...Rodríguez. Las perspectivas de los tres autores ayudan a elaborar un programa de trabajo para el análisis social y cultural basado en tres puntos con los que se abordará la totalidad: la determinación de las formaciones sociales, la pervivenda del pasado y el componente emancipador. Este programa se aplica al análisis de prácticas culturales concretas.
Existe una afinidad entre la filosofía de Hegel y el neoplatonismo que el propio filósofo se encargó de señalar. Sostenemos que esta afinidad tiene razones de orden sistemático e involucra aspectos ...teóricos y prácticos de ambas filosofías. Para argumentar en dicha dirección abordaremos el tratamiento de la filosofía de Plotino en las Lecciones hegelianas sobre la historia de la filosofía. Buscaremos mostrar que, para Hegel, Plotino elabora en la Antigüedad, por primera vez, una compleja síntesis de los principios filosóficos que anteceden a su propio pensamiento. Por este motivo, la exposición especulativa hegeliana adscribe al neoplatonismo la categoría lógica de totalidad. En esta síntesis de principios finitos —que buscaremos determinar en el artículo—, Hegel reconoce tareas y problemas cercanos a los de su filosofía, ¿pero podemos afirmar por esto que la filosofía de Hegel es un neoplatonismo moderno, o hay un punto en el que ambos proyectos revelan tener una incompatibilidad fundamental?
In this article, we discuss the de-reifying role of art and its relation with humanity’s self-consciousness, as these are captured in Lukács’ aesthetic thought and, especially, in his work The ...Specificity of the Aesthetic. Through the discourse on both categories that traverse Lukács oeuvre (totality, reification, imputed consciousness, etc.) and exclusively aesthetic categories (typical, particular, catharsis, mimesis, etc.), we attempt to give prominence to the way in which Lukács conceives artwork’s contribution to the cultivation of humanity’s self-consciousness.
Hegel saw modern philosophy as internally divided between its metaphysics and epistemology, on the one hand, and its political philosophy, on the other. Descartes had developed a metaphysics of ...totality to ground the epistemological certainty of the cogito, treating true unity as a unity of opposites (a totality). But political philosophy, in its empiricist and formalist forms, relied on an impoverished conception of unity—treating it, respectively, as a mere aggregation of parts or as formal consistency. The Philosophy of Right thus attempted to rectify the deficiencies of political philosophy by grounding it on the Cartesian concept of totality.
Hegel consideraba que la filosofía moderna estaba internamente dividida entre su metafísica y epistemología, por un lado, y su filosofía política, por otro. Descartes había desarrollado una metafísica de la totalidad para fundamentar la certeza epistemológica del cogito, tratando la unidad verdadera como una unidad de contrarios (una totalidad). Pero la filosofía política, en sus formas empirista y formalista, se basaba en una concepción empobrecida de la unidad, tratándola, respectivamente, como una mera agregación de partes o como una consistencia formal. La Filosofía del Derecho trató, pues, de subsanar las deficiencias de la filosofía política basándose en el concepto cartesiano de totalidad.
Abstract
There is a proliferation of clinical trials worldwide to find effective therapies for patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The endpoints that are currently used to ...evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic agents against COVID-19 are focused on clinical status at a particular day or on time to a specific change of clinical status. To provide a full picture of the clinical course of a patient and make complete use of available data, we consider the trajectory of clinical status over the entire follow-up period. We also show how to combine the evidence of treatment effects on the occurrences of various clinical events. We compare the proposed and existing endpoints through extensive simulation studies. Finally, we provide guidelines on establishing the benefits of treatments.
To enhance clinical relevance and improve statistical power, we propose to evaluate the efficacy of therapies in COVID-19 patients by considering the entire trajectory of clinical status and combining the evidence of treatment effects on the developments of important clinical events.
A unifying feature of the most prominent social movements that emerged in the 2010s is their dissatisfaction with explaining injustices on a case-by-case basis. In Canada, movements against settler ...colonialism express a similar orientation. This elicits a return of totality thinking, which enables one to grasp the connections between what appears as isolated or fragmented moments that in fact constitute and are constituted by a larger whole. Drawing on Marxist and Indigenous theorists, we reconstruct an approach to totality and a conceptualization of settler colonialism as a totality. Through an immanent reading of John Borrows’ approach to decolonization, we justify the importance of this concept for politicizing the persistence of unfree forms of interdependence. Finally, just as individual struggles point toward the totality, totality thinking draws attention to the unity-in-separation of different struggles, enabling a politics of “immanent universalism” as an alternative to both abstract universalism and particularism.
This paper, accompanying Baeumler’s 1922 essay on Croce, illustrates the German philosopher’s thesis that modern thought on beauty does lead to aesthetics only when, with Kant, it acquires a notion ...of taste, understood as the sensible manifestation of the concrete individuality of man.
