From the cover: This is the first edited collection devoted entirely to the question of the role of animals in the thought of Immanuel Kant. Though the topic is not one treated systematically in his work, mentions of animals occur throughout his corpus in relation to many of his central concerns. In this volume, a team of leading scholars address issues ranging over Kant's theoretical and practical philosophy, including questions regarding the possibility of objective representation and intentionality in animals, the role of animals in Kant's scientific picture of nature, the status of our moral responsibilities to animals' welfare, and more. It also includes chapters concerning contemporary questions relating to animals and Kantian ethics and metaethics, making a use of Kant's philosophy to help contend with one of the most crucial ethics issues facing us today. Contents: Introduction: Kant and Other Animals: An Overview by Lucy Allais and John J. Callanan I. THEORETICAL PHILOSOPHY 1. The Comparison of Animals by John J. Callanan 2. Animals and Objectivity by Colin McLear 3. What Do Animals See? Intentionality, Objects, and Kantian Nonconceptualism by Sacha Golob 4. Kant on Nonhuman Animals and God by Ina Goy 5. Animality in Kant's Theory of Human Nature by David Baumeister 6. Kant on Evolution: A Re-evaluation by Alix Cohen II. PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY 7. Directionality and Virtuous Ends by Arthur Ripstein and Sergio Tenenbaum 8. Kant and Moral Responsibility for Animals by Helga Varden 9. What Do We Owe to Animals?

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume, the second in the Methods in Pharmacology series, contains some of the physical methods which either have been or could be applied to pharmaco logical problems. A major emphasis has been placed on spectroscopic techniques, particularly those, such as optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism, fluorescence spectroscopy, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy, stopped flow and relaxation spectrometry, Mossbauer spectroscopy, light scatter and x-ray crystallography, that can be used to study drug interactions with biological systems at a molecular level. Although phosphorescence spectro scopy and oscillographic polarography can also be used to study drug interactions, their main usefulness is in the detection and estimation of drugs and their meta bolities in body tissues and fluids. Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for study ing the metabolism of drugs as well as for detecting abnormal endogenous metabolites in the body. Finally, heatburst microcalorimetry is a non spectroscopic technique that can be used to study how drugs and other ligands interact with biological macromolecules. Each chapter contains a brief introduction to the theoretical basis for each technique as well as a description of the instrumentation involved. This is followed by a section describing the application of the technique to pharmacological prob lems. Where these are not available, examples have been drawn from the other life sciences. In a final section, some further applications of each technique to problems in pharmacology are suggested.…
