Researchers take three general methodological perspectives in tackling the neuroscience of aging: the neuropsychological, the correlational, and the activation imaging approach (see Cabeza, 2004).

In this approach researchers are interested in whether patients of any age […]

CHALLENGING THE BASIS OF. THE FEMINIST. EPISTEMOLOGICAL PROJECT
INTRODUCTION Feminism has been centrally concerned with the question of epistemology since its inception. Feminist writers/scholars have sought to challenge the basis and characteristics of epistemologies which posit a conception of ‘truth’, which is essentially ‘reality’ interpreted from a male perspective. In the necessarily intense and vigorous debate which has resulted—on the significance, nature and […]
EXCEPTIONS AND COUNTERTRENDS
A look at advice books for men would surely offer a more cheerful picture, since while women have been moving toward a male norm, some men have moved the other way. But since the traditional male culture that progressive men are challenging is still associated with power and authority, I believe women’s move in the […]

REFORMED MORALITY
In fact, by the early sixteenth century the main public criticism was that existing practice was far too lenient. This was a major complaint of the Protestant movement, which began around 1500 as a campaign to purify the church from within, but pretty soon developed into a cataclysmic struggle for truth that tore apart the […]

Although it is impossible to give a comprehensive treatment of all the cultural and historical […]
