چکیده
‘‘I see,’’ quoth he, ‘‘the Elephant And always take some reckoning Is very like a snake!’’ Of how selection works. The Fourth reached out an eager hand, For elephants are not the same. And felt about the knee. Each varies day by day. ‘‘What most this wondrous beast is like And where you place your hand on one, Is mighty plain,’’ quoth he; Does not the whole betray. ‘‘Tis clear enough the Elephant So measure well just how your choice Is very like a tree!’’ Constrains what you can say.

Doing, Allowing, and Enabling Harm: An Empirical Investigation
Traditionally, moral philosophers have distinguished between doing and allowing harm, and have normally proceeded as if this bipartite distinction can exhaustively characterize all cases of human conduct involving harm.

Recent discoveries stress the importance of studying positive emotion disturbances (PED) yet there remains little empirical work or integrative conceptual framework in this domain. We suggest that an ideally suited opportunity to advance the study of PED is to consider a cross-species evolutionary framework. We apply this framework—drawing from principles of stabilizing selection—to recent empi...

متن کاملOn Environmental Sources of Child Narcissism: Are Parents Really to Blame?

متن کاملBeing While Doing: An Inductive Model of Mindfulness at Work
Mindfulness at work has drawn growing interest as empirical evidence increasingly supports its positive workplace impacts.
