The Legacy of Tracy J Putnam and H. Houston Merritt

The Legacy of Tracy J Putnam and H. Houston Merritt

Lewis P Rowland M.D.

Oxford University Press Inc
2008
sidottu
Tracy Putnam and H. Houston Merritt co-discovered the effectiveness of Dilantin in controlling epilepsy, a dramatic find that is still invaluable today. Now, in this engaging volume, eminent neurologist Lewis P. Rowland, MD, tells the unique story of these two key figures and their outstanding contributions to science. Rowland reveals that Putnam was a brilliant and imaginative experimentalist, but he clashed with others--including powerful neurosurgeons--and ended up dying in relative obscurity. Merritt was the practical one, an observer, fact-collector and recorder, a practitioner of what is now called "evidence-based medicine". From his early days Merritt was a popular and remarkable diagnostician, and went on to be one of the most influential neurologists in the United States, a man who trained a generation of neurologists. As Dr. Rowland recounts this dual biography, he also sheds light on the origins of modern neurology, drug development, the growth of neuroscience and clinical investigation, academic anti-Semitism, the difficult struggle to translate basic science into clinical practice, the need for controls in therapeutic trials, and many other issues.

The Fable of the Southern Writer

The Fable of the Southern Writer

Lewis P. Simpson

Louisiana State University Press
2003
nidottu
With a breadth and depth unsurpassed by any other cultural historian of the South, Lewis Simpson examines the writing of southerners Thomas Jefferson, John Randolph, Mark Twain, Robert Penn Warren, Allen Tate, William Faulkner, Elizabeth Madox Roberts, Arthur Crew Inman, William Styron, and Walker Percy. Simpson offers challenging essays of easy erudition blessedly free of academic jargon.... [They] do not propose to support an overall thesis, but simply explore the southern writer's unique relationship with his or her region, bereft of myth and tradition, in the grasp of science and history."" -- Library Journal

Imagining Our Time

Imagining Our Time

Lewis P. Simpson

Louisiana State University Press
2007
sidottu
Lewis P. Simpson towers among scholars of American literary studies, as an intellectual historian of the South and American literary culture and a revered essayist. His last book, Imagining Our Time, offers a wide-ranging, erudite, and enlightening look at the culture of letters in American society. Primarily through an examination of the works of some of the leading writers of the twentieth century, many of whom Simpson knew intimately, this final volume provides insight into the struggles and concerns unique to prominent American thinkers, literary artists, and critics contemporary to his own lifetime.Often moving from an intriguing anecdote or recollection to a rigorous discussion of ideas, Simpson's style is captivating. He begins with speculation on Eric Voegelin's interest in Julien Benda's polemic La Trahison des Clercs and follows with thoughts on the declining faith in the university as an embodiment of humanistic letters and learning, surveying the American Republic as far back as Benjamin Franklin. In successive chapters, Simpson pays tribute to Malcolm Cowley as a ""hero of the literary art"" and probes Robert Penn Warren's fixation with Thomas Jefferson as manifested in the writing and complete rewriting of Brother to Dragons.He ruminates on the vocation of the critic as practiced by Lionel Trilling and Diana Trilling, and the literary and cultural politics of the 1930s. Brief portraits of Andrew Lytle and Louis D. Rubin, Jr., appear, as well as a poignant argument for the autobiographical cast of Eudora Welty's writing. A lengthy, riveting consideration of Simpson's friend Walker Percy and Percy's quest for identity as a modern Christian novelist alienated from the society around him forms the core of the volume.Fred Hobson's introduction fittingly rounds out Imagining Our Time, offering an intimate appreciation of Lewis Simpson-who will remain a giant among scholars of southern literary studies.

Hegel's Critique of the Enlightenment

Hegel's Critique of the Enlightenment

Lewis P. Hinchman

University Press of Florida
1984
nidottu
The Enlightenment has turned different faces to those who have sought to demonstrate its significance for contemporary politics and philosophy. Some would call it the seedbed of all that is best in modern Western civilization: human rights, toleration, popular sovereignty, and the idea of progress. Others have glimpsed a darker side, stressing its celebration of "instrumental" reason, mechanistic determinism, hostility to religion, and political "atomism."Lewis Hinchman discerns in Hegel the first major philosopher to have appreciated the ambiguous nature of the Enlightenment and to have undertaken a systematic inquiry into its origins and sociopolitical implications. Hinchman is sympathetic toward Hegel's philosophical approach, seeing in it anticipations of (even improvements on) influential nineteenth- and twentieth-century critiques on empiricism and liberalism. On the other hand, he does take Hegel to task in cases where Hegel appears to stray from his own program and principles (most notably in the philosophy of right).Hinchman's approach to Hegel will appeal to a wide range of readers, including political scientists, intellectual historians, and students of comparative and nineteenth-century German literature, as well as philosophers interested in the history of their own discipline. He brings together for comparison texts and passages that are frequently studied in isolation from each other by scholars in diverse fields.The burden of Hinchman's argument falls upon his reconstruction of Hegel's concept of the self. He shows how Hegel partly adopts ideas of the self that were longstanding among Enlightenment philosophers such as Descartes, Kant, and Fichte, and partly develops a novel conception in response to inadequacies in his predecessors' theories. Hinchman contends that Hegel is the first philosopher to work out a truly nonsubstantialist idea of the self, one that does not "reify" this most elusive of human activities. He then demonstrates that implications of this conception of the self when one applies it as Hegel did to a critique of the Enlightenment's epistemology and sociopolitical practice.

The Necklace

2016
nidottu
"The Necklace," was inspired by actual events. It is a narrative composed of two individual love stories linked together by a special gift. A story of the past in which two young people discover love more than sixty years ago: and in the present, a soon to be a married couple, tormented by tragedy, attempting to get the past behind them. These couples will find their lives forever altered through a simple introduction and the discovery of long-forgotten memories. Told in a series of flashbacks, you will see how this young love of the past has remarkably affected the couple's anxiety and fears of the present. Faye and her daughter Pat are still coming to terms with the loss of Faye's husband three years ago in an auto accident in which Pat survived while her father perished. Pat's guilt borne out of her survival has caused her to continuously postpone her wedding. Through her passion for estate sales, Pat's mother finds an unexpected treasure; a beautiful Pearl necklace. Curiosity leads her and her daughter and fianc Greg, on a search in which they learn Charlotte's boyfriend Daniel, had given her the gift of this necklace on her sixteenth birthday some sixty-three years ago. In flashbacks, we discover the story behind the necklace and uncover the life and innermost thoughts and desires of two young people falling in love. During their quest for insight into the love affair of Charlotte and Daniel, we learn why Pat is afraid of marriage. It is the recognition of the parallel between Daniel's gift of the necklace and her father's final words avowing his gift of love that heals her pain. "The Necklace" celebrates love and all its forms in a simple and unabashed way. This book will make you fall in love with love all over again.
