# Ian Jarvie

Ian Charles Jarvie (8 July 1937 – 16 May 2023) was a British-born philosopher. Trained in England, he was a long-time resident in Canada. Jarvie was educated at Dover Grammar School for Boys from 1948 to 1955. He studied at the London School of Economics under Karl Popper where he gained his B.Sc. (Econ.) and Ph.D. (1955–1962). Between 1960 and 1962 he was a Philosophy tutor at the London School of Economics, before accepting lectureships in Hong Kong and at the University of York, Ontario. Jarvie was a member of the Royal Society of Canada and managing editor of the journal Philosophy of the Social Sciences.
The philosophy of social science and the film industry were two of his main topics of research. He was a professor at York University in Toronto.
Jarvie's philosophical temperament was influenced by his former teacher, Karl Popper. Other influences included: David Hume, Bertrand Russell, and Ernest Gellner.
Further, Jarvie's philosophical method owes a debt to training in social anthropology. In this vein, he published anthropological work on the cargo cults of the South Pacific and contributed anthropological studies on the media. His adherence to functionalism in the study of the social differs from that of Durkheim (and his followers) in holding that knowledge and ideas must be presented as causal variables. Further, Jarvie contended, it must be the case that a functionalist framework with an active role for explanatory ideas requires a conception of rationality towards ideas. Politically, Jarvie was a liberal.
Ian Jarvie died on 16 May 2023, at the age of 85.

# Menir da Cabeça do Rochedo

Menir da Cabeça do Rochedo
The Menir da Cabeça do Rochedo is an obelisk-like monument made from limestone, located just north of the town of Lagos, Portugal.
Dating back to the early neolithic, and of a considerable weight and size, it has a cylindrical shape and a decorative spiral-like engraving that's faintly discernible. It was part of a group of eight other similar monuments, of which just one is still standing in its original location. The rest were taken by Lagos's city hall for preservation. Just like other Menhirs found in the Algarve, the Cabeça do Rochedo Menir did not serve funerary purposes, and the end it served is still debated. The monument is located at a hill just outside of Portelas, 6 km north of Lagos.
