Air and Friction in the Celestial Region: Some Medieval Solutions to the Difficulties of the Aristotelian Theory Con-cerning the Production of Celestial Heat

Panzica, Aurora

In: Early Medieval and Modern Science, 2019, vol. 24, no. 4, p. 367-390

This paper explores the medieval debates raised by problems with the Aristotelian theory of the pro-duction and transmission of solar heat presented in De Caelo II, 7 and Meteorologica I, 3.

The epistemological approach helps us to clarify whether we can empathize with artificial...

Availability - analysis of an effective pro-social attitude and application to the medical field

Malbois, Elodie ; Soldati, Gianfranco (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2020.

We are in need of another attitude that combines the motivational aspect of sympathy with a more cognitive component that enables us to understand others. In this thesis, I argue that availability, a concept ...
