TIBOR KALMAN Perverse Optimist The Social Developer - August 2003 Deconstructing Suburbia "The living arrangement Americans now think of as normal is bankrupting us economically, socially, ecologically, and spiritually. The physical setting itself – the cartoon landscape of car-clogged highways, strip malls, tract houses, franchise fry pits, parking lots, junked cities, and ravaged countryside – is not merely a symptom of our troubled culture but in many ways a primary cause of our troubles." An interview with James Howard Kunstler. The Mess We Have Made "The nation's built landscape no longer differentiates between places. The "look of anywhere" prevails. If people don't know and feel where they are, they don't know who they are." An excerpt from an important new book by Roberta Gratz and Norman Mintz. A View of The Future Pervasive computing will change our cities and buildings, our shovels and even our bodies. Bruce Sterling speculates on how.

"The first meeting of the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety will be held from 23 to 27 February 2004 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Adopted in January 2000 as a supplementary agreement to the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD), the Cartagena Protocol seeks to protect biological diversity from the potential risks that may be posed by living modified organisms (LMOs), or what are commonly referred to as genetically modified organisms (GMOs), resulting from modern biotechnology."

179. Evolution Of Social Behavior In Primates: Personality Traits Theory based on Mendelian genetics predicts that personality traits can be traced in ancestral hominid lineages. Reference to nonhuman primates. A. M. Benis, Sc.D., M.D. http://primate_behaviour.homestead.com/

Evolution of Social Behavior in Primates: Personality Traits A Genetic Approach to Behavior in Ancestral Hominids eBook now available Revised 2004 Psychological Dimensions Press, New York, 1985 504 pages, 16 figures, 48 plates. Illustrations are from On the Genetic Origins of the Human Character Why is this gorilla smiling? (a) He is happy. (b) He has just witnessed an amusing event, or (c) He has the genetic character trait of narcissism. [answer below] Aggression, Perfectionism and Narcissism As Mendelian Genetic Traits in Primates Summary We identify three traits that are transmitted in humans in a Mendelian fashion: Aggression (A), Perfectionism (P) and Narcissism (N). We believe that the genetic loci corresponding to these traits will soon be identified. Thus, DNA analyses in the near future will allow one to trace personality traits and even personality types in ancestral hominid lineages. In addition, we show that the traits A, P and N can be identified in non-human primates. The evolutionary implications of this theory are evident. NPA Theory of Discrete Character Traits Our interpretation of the three traits in humans is as follows: Aggression (A) Narcissism (N) Perfectionism (P) The trait of perfectionism is not a basic drive of ambition and is not associated with a rage reaction. Rather it is a mediator of the unbridled drives of aggression and/or narcissism. The stereotypic acts associated with the trait of perfectionism are obsessiveness, compulsiveness, repetition, and the maintenance of neatness, order and symmetry. It is concluded that certain autistic and schizophrenic individuals are those in whom the two components of ambition, i.e., aggression and narcissism, have been suppressed by genetic or environmental factors, either congenitally, in childhood, or after maturity, thus revealing in the individual a primitive state of perfectionism.

180. HPS Research Methods Guide: Social Epistemology A bibliography compiled by Martin Kusch. http://www.hps.cam.ac.uk/research/se.html

window.defaultStatus="Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge" Department of History and Philosophy of Science RESEARCH METHODS GUIDE HOME SEARCH CONTACT Social Epistemology Martin Kusch Social epistemology is the philosophical study of the relevance of communities to knowledge. Social epistemology can be done descriptively or normatively. It is part of the descriptive project, for instance, to clarify whether a social isolate (like Robinson Crusoe) could have knowledge. It is central to the normative project to define how groups should be organised for them to produce knowledge most reliably and effectively. Most social epistemologists recognise that social epistemology is closely related to the sociology of knowledge. But different authors conceive differently of this relation. Some suggest that the sociology of knowledge is a purely descriptive and empirical enterprise, whereas social epistemology is purely conceptual, and, at least in part, a normative endeavour. Other social epistemologists see the two fields as inseparable. One can conceive of social epistemology more broadly and more narrowly. In the latter case one counts as social epistemologists only those authors who apply the label to themselves. In the former case one includes among social epistemologists all those writers that fall under the above definition. On this view, most feminist epistemologists, many philosophers of science, and many historical figures (like Hume!) must be counted as social epistemologists. I shall concentrate here mostly on self-proclaimed social epistemologists. (See the entries for Sociology of Scientific Knowledge and Feminist Critique of Science for more material.)
