Letter - Julian Porter to R.A. Brown 12 July 1967

A letter from Mr. Julian Porter to R.A. Brown of Longmans Green Publishing Company. The letter indicates that Mr. Porter was introduced to Sean O'Sullivan during a political function. Mr. O'Sullivan mentioned that he had written a manuscript about Mr. J. Diefenbaker. Mr. Porter suggests that Longmans Green Publishing Company take interest in the manuscript. The company eventually rejects the book due to it being "so highly personal". The publishing company also remarks "I am personally most impressed with Mr. O'Sullivan's sincerity. I can't imagine anything will stop him from eventually going into politics."

Coarse grained sediment with clasts ranging from small to large. Clast shape ranges from angular to rounded. Lineations are abundant throughout the sample, along with rotation structures. Some comet structures and grain crushing can also be seen throughout the sample. Rotation structures can mainly be seen around larger clasts.

J.R AI-4

Brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to large in size. The grain shape ranges from angular to sub-rounded. Necking structures and lineations can commonly be seen throughout the sample. Rotation structures and minor amounts of grain crushing/stacking are also present.

J.R WB-3a

Brown sediment with two main domains; a coarse grained domain and a fine grained domain. Clast size in the fine grained domain is mainly small. The coarser domain contains clasts ranging from small to large in size. The clast shape ranges from angular to rounded. Necking structures are commonly seen in the coarser domain. This domain also contains many rotation structures and lineations. The fine grained domain exhibits multiple water escape pathways, along with lineations. There are also minor amounts of grain crushing present within this sample.

J.R WB-6c

Brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to large in size. Grain shape ranges from angular to rounded. Lineations are abundant within this sample. Rotation structures can also be seen. Necking structures, comet structures, and grain crushing can also be seen in minor amounts.

J.R WB-7a

Brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to large. Grain shape ranges from angular to rounded. Rotation structures and necking structures are common throughout this sample. Lineations can also be seen throughout the sample, along with minor amounts of grain crushing and comet structures.

J.R. AB-6

Brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to medium in size. Grain shape ranges from angular to sub-rounded. Water escape structures and lineations are abundant throughout the sample. Some comet structures can also be seen. There were minor amounts of grain crushing also present.

J.R. Ai-3

Brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to large. The grain shape ranges from angular to sub-rounded. Rotation structures are abundant in this sample, along with necking structures. Some lineations and comet structures can also be seen. Crushed grains and grain stacks are present in minor amounts.

J.R. AI-5

Coarse brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to large in size. Clast shape ranges from angular to sub-rounded. Grain crushing is abundant throughout the sample. Crushed grains are present and there are also some examples of edge-to-edge grain crushing. Lineations and rotation structures can also be seen.

J.R AI-10

Brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to large. Grain shape ranges from angular to sub-rounded. Rotation structures and lineations are abundant in this sample. Comet structures and grain stacking can also be seen in this sample.

J.R. WB-2

Dark brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to large. Clast shape ranges from angular to rounded. Comet structures and lineations can be commonly seen throughout the sample. There are minor amounts of rotation structures also present. The sample contains clasts that are generally well dispersed.

¿Pueden pensar las máquinas? Una evaluación del problema de la inteligencia artificial mediante el equilibrio refractivo

Revisión del problema de la filosofía de la Inteligencia Artificial a la vista del Equilibrio refractivo. La revisión del problema se lleva a cabo para mostrar como "¿pueden pensar las máquinas?" sólo se ha evaluado en los terminos humanos. El equilibrio refractivo se plantea como una herramienta para definir conceptos de tal modo que la experiencia y los preceptos se encuentren en equilibrio, para con él construir una definición de pensar que no esté limitada exclusivamente a "pensar tal y como lo hacen los humanos".

El problema de conceptualización del terrorismo dentro de la disciplina de las Relaciones Internacionales: Un análisis desde la perspectiva histórico conceptual

Los hechos ocurridos durante el 11 de septiembre de 2001 se constituyeron como un momento fundamental en los intentos de conceptualización del terrorismo internacional dentro de la disciplina de las Relaciones Internacionales. A raíz del 9/11 tuvo lugar la resemantización del concepto de terrorismo internacional en función del terrorismo religioso y del fundamentalismo islámico. Lo anterior, marco una ruptura en el campo de experiencia y en el horizonte de expectativas del concepto mismo, pues este último adquirió un nuevo uso discursivo, y por ende, político. Por eso, ante la necesidad de emprender un análisis discursivo de los usos del concepto de terrorismo internacional, se evidencia cómo al estar inmersos en determinados juegos del lenguaje, el uso discursivo de este concepto termina por convertirse en una herramienta de acción política que promueve una forma de vida.

Multiculturalismo y consenso: una aproximación desde el liberalismo político de John Rawls

La presente tesis gravita en torno a la siguiente pregunta: ¿cómo puede ser el liberalismo político una alternativa frente a los desafíos del multiculturalismo? La respuesta se presenta a partir de tres capítulos: en el primero se especifica la estructura y contenido del liberalismo político; en el segundo se caracterizan los desafíos del multiculturalismo en Francia, a partir del asunto del velo islámico y las consideraciones de los actores involucrados; en el tercero se analizan los argumentos y opiniones sobre el asunto del velo en Francia, con base en las categorías específicas del liberalismo político, especialmente el consenso traslapado. Se concluye que las posibilidades de consenso dependen del apego que tengan los ciudadanos hacia ciertos valores propios de una concepción política de la justicia, de la capacidad para apartarse de su forma particular de ver el mundo (doctrina comprensiva) en las discusiones públicas, así como de la voluntad que tengan los individuos para ser razonables y respetar las directivas de indagación en las discusiones políticas.
