Developmental Considerations in Survival-Related Memory and Decision-Making Under Conditions of Risk and Uncertainty
Authors: McMillan Sarah J. , Venticinque Joseph S. , Toglia Michael P. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Evolutionary processes have moulded human cognition, including memory and decision-making systems. Survival processing, in which participants rate words for survival relevance (e.g. rating the word ‘knife’ on its relevance for surviving in a desolate area), often leads to better memory than other types of processing, such as pleasantness (e.g. rating the word ‘knife’ on how pleasant it is). Survival utility also applies to creative thinking and problem solving, and risky decision-making has been linked to mortality salience; but less is known about its association with risky decision-making. In this chapter, we review empirical studies testing the effects of survival processing on false memory production and risky decision-making. Many studies exploring false memories have employed the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm that involves remembering thematic constructed word lists, whereas studies exploring decision-making have more varied methodology but often include written scenarios with two potential choices. What is needed is a fusing of these paradigms to examine survival in conjunction with risky decision-making. As a first step in this direction, we report a study revealing that survival-relevant decisions elicited slightly riskier decisions than non-survival decisions. Processing type, however, did not affect risk preference or memory accuracy. We contextualize findings within theoretical models of memory that incorporate both true and false recognition, while providing future directions for research on adaptive memory and risk-aversion from childhood to young adulthood, during which significant changes occur in decision-making systems.
Neurocognitive Mechanisms of the Survival Processing Effect
Authors: Kroneisen Meike , Forester Glen , Kamp Siri-Maria 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Given the two main goals of evolution, survival and reproduction, and also given that reproduction is contingent on survival, it seems reasonable to hypothesize that our memory systems are engineered to retain information relevant to survival. In line with this, previous research has shown that survival processing—imagining being stranded in the grasslands of a foreign land without any basic survival material, and rating the relevance of words for survival in this situation—leads to better memory performance than other control scenarios. Several explanations of this survival processing effect proposed in the literature rely on efficient forms of encoding, storage, or retrieval that are domain-general in nature and thus are associated with good memory performance in general, not just in the survival context. Since an examination of behavioural performance on a memory test cannot disentangle mechanisms during encoding, consolidation, and retrieval from each other, capturing neural activity in real time at the different stages can yield important mechanistic insights. In this chapter, we review electrophysiological research suggesting that a survival context leads to greater high-level elaboration and long-range cortical communication during memory encoding, as well as more vivid recollection during memory retrieval. The limited number of neurocognitive studies available to date are thus generally in line with the idea that a survival processing context leads to richer encoding, and hence, improved memory performance.
Black Screens, White Frames
Authors: Shilina-Conte Tanya 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Black Screens, White Frames offers a new understanding of cinematic blankness. Drawing on Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy, Tanya Shilina-Conte provides a detailed examination of non-images throughout film history. In different arts, including cinema, absence has often been understood in a negative way—as a lack or lacuna, a vacuum or void. To remedy this, Shilina-Conte advances the concept of the filmmaking machine as an abstract art machine in constant production, which shifts our understanding of absence in cinema from negative to generative theorization. In the course of machinic production, dissociation ceases to be a negative characteristic of failure or incapacity and becomes a creative and capacious gesture of artistic experimentation. Shilina-Conte’s approach is guided by a film-philosophical methodology and experimental modes of cinema rather than a thematic interpretation of its narrative forms. Further, she argues that blank screens (and their derivatives) function as points of deterritorialization within the filmmaking machine. In each chapter, she demonstrates that black or white screens either instigate relative deterritorializations or engender absolute escapes from narrative regimes in cinema. Blank screens in cinema, as machinic mutations and conditions of possibility, do not represent or symbolize but instead activate what has yet to appear and is still to become. This innovative reconsideration of non-images allows us to perform more nuanced analyses of cinematic modes often overlooked in traditional film criticism. The wide-ranging discussion of canonical and rare examples in Shilina-Conte’s book uncovers how absence as a productive process not only alters the ways in which we study cinema but also changes the questions we ask about its history.
Turning toward the One / Good
Authors: Robichaud Denis J.-J. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the fifteenth-century philosopher Marsilio Ficino’s (1433–1499) philosophy of love, especially his commentary on Plato’s Symposium, the De amore. It studies several of Ficino’s sources (Plato, the Corpus Dionysiacum, Plotinus, and Proclus) and demonstrates how Ficino conceives of love as a unified order that proceeds from the One Good beyond being and reverts to the Good. Further consideration is given to love’s relationship to beauty, pleasure, nature, and causality in Ficino’s philosophy.
A Metaphysical Basis for Love?
Authors: Frierson Patrick R. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter investigates a Cartesian concept of love that is grounded in rationalist metaphysics, plays an important role in ethical life, and consists of a holistic attitude defined as joining oneself with another “in such a way that we imagine a whole of which we think ourselves to be only one part and the thing loved another” (IX:387). I argue that René Descartes articulates this notion of love but falls short because the unity constitutive of love is inconsistent with core features of his metaphysics. Baruch Spinoza develops a rationalist system within which metaphysical unity among finite substances is a fundamental reality, but once he individuates distinct ethical agents, Spinoza develops an even more egoist and less holist notion of love than Descartes.
Love in Kant and the Enlightenment
Authors: Seymour Fahmy Melissa 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Immanuel Kant wrote that love and respect are the two great moral forces that bind together rational beings on Earth. This chapter articulates the various types of love we find in Kant’s practical philosophy—self-love, practical love, pathological love, duties of love, love of nature, and love of other human beings—as well as the roles they play. This chapter argues that we do Kant a serious disservice if we assume that he took a hostile attitude toward all sensible feelings. Despite his explicit rejection of moral sentimentalism, Kant regards love, even felt love, as morally indispensable for human beings. While Kant insists upon an exclusively a priori foundation for morality, his normative ethics takes seriously human neediness, vulnerability, and interdependency, and in doing so acknowledges the importance of both love and respect.
Love and Desire in Nietzsche and Levinas
Authors: Ellis Fiona 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter begins with a sketch of some of the general philosophical and theological issues that arise in discussions of love and desire, situating Nietzsche and Levinas within the relevant disputes. A key dispute concerns two very different ways of thinking about desire, namely as lack or abundance; this chapter clarifies what these positions could amount to. The conception of desire as abundance is endorsed by both of the protagonists, but Nietzsche (and some contemporary Nietzscheans) imply that it demands the rejection of theism. This chapter considers the merits of the relevant opposing arguments, finds significant common ground between the disputants, and makes explicit the implications for an understanding of love, desire, and God.
Introduction
Authors: Calloway Colin G. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This introductory chapter provides an overview of the experiences, encounters, and humanity of Scotch-Irish people who dominated frontier societies. It introduces the Paxton Massacre correlated to the cutting edge of the colonial dispossession of Native people. Although the Scotch-Irish fought Indian wars and shaped the frontier, they were shaped by their experiences living near and fighting against Indians. The chapter highlights that the relations between the Scotch-Irish and Indigenous peoples add depth and diversity to the story of America’s beginnings. It considers the dispute of whether Scotch-Irish people placed themselves in borderland spaces, where they grated against Indian country and Indian communities.
We Are Now the Frontier
Authors: Calloway Colin G. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines how a war created an enduring history of the Scotch-Irish in America as a beleaguered and embattled people. It explains that Britain and France attempted to assert their power in the Ohio country through the Native proxies. Moreover, the Scotch-Irish people were also at the forefront of the Seven Years War as it was being fought in northern New England and the southern backcountry. The French and Indian War was the great war for America that established the nation. The chapter cites the war shaped the Scotch-Irish people's identity as a people in conflict with Indians and at odds with the government.
Black Boys and White Savages
Authors: Calloway Colin G. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces the notion of Black Boys and white savages. It cites how the war shattered patterns of peaceful coexistence between Indian people and colonists. A group of vigilantes calling themselves the Black Boys disputed the legitimacy of a government that appeared to do more for Indians than it did for them, although they demanded a renegotiation of political power on the frontier. The chapter provides an overview of the extent of Scotch-Irish murders of Indian people. Meanwhile, British attempts to restrict access to Indian land pushed many colonists to embrace revolution, and fears of the “white savages” who constantly invaded their lands pushed many Indians into the British.
Fighting Landlords, Indians, and Taxes
Authors: Calloway Colin G. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter considers the conflict regarding landlords, Indians, and taxes. It explains that the American Revolution on the frontier had involved conflicts over lands between Indian peoples and Scotch-Irish colonists. According to some historians, the Scotch-Irish in America ceased to be Scotch-Irish after the Revolution and easily took their place as Americans in the new nation they helped create. Moreover, the national government lacked the power to enforce its will over unruly citizens on distant frontiers. The chapter also looks into the significance of the Indian War and the Whiskey Rebellion, before discussing how frontier violence in the 1780s and 1790s fueled Indian-hating and a racialized white identity.
Andrew Jackson and the Triumph of Scotch-Irish Indian Policy
Authors: Calloway Colin G. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the significance of Andrew Jackson and the victory of the Scotch-Irish Indian Policy. Following Jackson's rise to power, Scotch-Irish frontiersmen became less aggressive disrupters of U.S. policy than embodiments of aggressive U.S. policies of dispossession and removal. Jackson harnessed and represented concerns, advocated and executed removal practices, and rendered them less distinctively Scotch-Irish by incorporating them into the nation’s Indian policy. The chapter notes that Jackson was the driving force behind Indian removal. It highlights white supremacy as an essential part of Jacksonian democracy, referring to the expansion of white males at the expense of Indians and other peoples.
To Texas and Beyond
Authors: Calloway Colin G. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter explains that people with varying degrees of Scotch-Irish ancestry and identity spread across Texas and beyond. It introduces the notion of Anglo-Americans revolving around people presumed to be of English or British descent before it gradually includes non-Hispanic white people in a region. Moreover, a steady stream of people headed to Texas, hoping to get out of debt, acquire land, and prosper. The chapter also notes how the Texas Revolution upended Mexico's policy of enlisting eastern Indians to curtail Plains Indian raids while disarraying the lives of immigrant Indian people in Texas. It notes that violence against Native people accompanied the notion of the West winning.
Honor among Spies
Authors: Rahman Smita A. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the conceptual nexus between honor, espionage, and the formation of identity through a close narrative reading of the FX drama The Americans, a drama set in the 1980s during the Cold War. The chapter complicates the often uncontested linkage between honor and espionage by examining the show’s portrayal of motherhood within the context of Cold War discourse of mothers as a source of corruption. Such a reading of the complex issues of motherhood, identity, and the challenges of family in The Americans reveals a deeper anxiety at the core of the need to sustain such simple narratives of patriotic honor.
ConclusionThe Agonism of Honor
Authors: Rahman Smita A. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This concluding chapter argues that honor is an inherently agonistic concept and that its place in the political imagination remains both complex and contested. It defines agonism by drawing on its classical Greek origins, the foundational role it plays in Nietzschean philosophy, and its significance in contemporary political theory in the work of William E. Connolly. It argues that honor is agonistic around two dimensions. First, honor is in tension with itself as a source of both heroic inspiration and destructive rage. Second, honor is central to the idea of the contest itself and plays a key role in democratic agonism.
How to Be an Anti-Ableist Clinician
Authors: Johnson Janelle A. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
An exploration of critical disability theory as it relates to Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) individuals in mental health care, “How to Be an Anti-ableist Clinician: Addressing Intersectionality of Race and Ability in Mental Health Care” is a call to identify and challenge ableism in oneself as well as the systems of mental health care and higher education. While defining ableism more broadly, it specifically delves into its impact on the intersectionality of race and ability. Using core tenants of the interdisciplinary field of critical disability theory, specifically DisCrit, a clear framework is suggested and outlined as a guide to continued self-exploration as well as to systemic change for the Black disabled person and their allies. Using examples from historic accounts and narratives of Black people with mental health disabilities, this chapter suggests the centrality of this often overlooked facet of equity and inclusion for clinicians, encouraging further analysis of universal design for learning and multicultural therapy modalities as possible methods to catalyze systemic change in mental health care and beyond.
The Impact of Systemic Racism on Mental Health Care
Authors: Wigfall Delbert R. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
“The Impact of Systemic Racism on Mental Health Care” examines multiple factors that exacerbate mental health disease in communities of color and inhibit access to care. Adequate health care, especially in provision of mental health services, is dependent on having well-trained, compassionate providers and inclusion of providers who share commonality in culture and community. Poverty, housing discrimination, mental health disparities, community violence, low levels of educational attainment, and anti-immigrant sentiment are some ways that racism continues to impact communities of color today and contribute to the persistent disparities of care. This chapter provides a picture of the contradictory factors that result in disparate or dysfunctional mental health care in communities of color.
Introduction
Authors: Widmer Ted 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This introduction provides an overview of the inaugural addresses of the presidents of the United States. It begins by looking at the establishment of the office of the “President of the United States of America.” When the first presidential election was held, in the winter of 1788–1789, George Washington won unanimously. Washington’s inaugural address was not incidental to his presidency—it defined it. By declaring his intentions before his constituents, he showed an instinctive understanding of the new office and breathed life into it. With time, presidents began to understand that the inaugural address offered a rare opportunity to frame the nation’s political agenda. When assembled together, the inaugural addresses of the presidents thus constitute an essential record of American history, offering important insights into the forty-six individuals who have held the highest elected office, and the circumstances that shaped each of their individual moments on America’s grandest stage.
George Washington’s First Inaugural Address
Authors: Singh Yuvraj 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter presents George Washington’s first inaugural address on April 30, 1789. Addressing his “fellow-citizens of the Senate and of the House of Representatives,” Washington begins by acknowledging his anxieties with the magnitude of trust that the country has given him. He then asks for the blessing of the “Almighty Being” so that he may execute his duties to the people of the United States with success. Washington also pledges that “no local prejudices or attachments, no separate views nor party animosities, will misdirect the comprehensive and equal eye which ought to watch over this great assemblage of communities and interests.” Moreover, he vows “that the foundation of our national policy will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of private morality, and the preeminence of free government be exemplified by all the attributes which can win the affections of its citizens and command the respect of the world.”
George Washington’s Second Inaugural Address
Authors: Singh Yuvraj 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter presents George Washington’s Second Inaugural Address on March 4, 1793. Addressing his “fellow citizens,” Washington acknowledges that he is “again called upon by the voice of my country to execute the functions of its Chief Magistrate.” He expresses his appreciation for “this distinguished honor, and of the confidence which has been reposed in me by the people of united America.” Washington then mentions that “previous to the execution of any official act of the President the Constitution requires an oath of office.” Finally, he pledges “that if it shall be found during my administration of the Government I have in any instance violated willingly or knowingly the injunctions thereof, I may (besides incurring constitutional punishment) be subject to the upbraidings of all who are now witnesses of the present solemn ceremony.”
The American Cincinnatus
Authors: Butterfield Kevin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines George Washington’s Second Inaugural Address. Using just 135 words, Washington focused directly on the key element of the inaugural ceremony—the oath of office, and the responsibilities that the oath imposes—and said little else. Nonetheless, Washington’s Second Inaugural merits close attention. That it happened at all is itself important, the result of a thoughtful assessment by Washington and his Cabinet. In his focus upon the oath, Washington underscored an element of the presidency that can be overlooked: that the occupant of the office, while vested with substantial power, is also bound to adhere to the specific terms of an oath found in the Constitution itself. Indeed, his Second Inaugural Address had one point to make, and it made it well: in a constitutional order full of checks, balances, and structural limitations on arbitrary power, the presidential oath was yet another safeguard to protect the American republic.
The Colossus of Independence
Authors: Barlow R. M. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter evaluates the inaugural address of John Adams. In his address, Adams needed to acknowledge the status of George Washington, reassure listeners that he took the French threat to American shipping seriously, and attempt to unite the High Federalists and the Jeffersonian Republicans. His call for a system of neutrality appears at first glance to be support for George Washington’s Neutrality Proclamation. However, Adams’s commitment to an independent foreign policy predated the Washington administration by more than a decade. Accordingly, Adams’s speech was an overview of American history that began with the struggle for independence during the American Revolution. By drawing attention to the overreach of the British Parliament, he suggested that the French Directory was attempting a similar tyranny. He warned that political factions invited foreign meddling in American politics. By recounting the nation’s history, he highlighted his own role in that history.
The Last Cocked Hat
Authors: Moats Sandra 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the Second Inaugural Address of James Monroe. Monroe discussed his first-term accomplishments, emphasizing foreign affairs. He focused on the need to build fortifications to defend the nation’s Atlantic coastline and to raise a navy capable of supporting and protecting these military facilities. With regard to the warfare between Spain and its colonies in South America, Monroe renewed the nation’s long-standing commitment to neutrality. Closer to home, he discussed the unauthorized invasion of Spanish Florida by a “band of adventurers” in 1817–1818, known officially as the First Seminole War, which was led by General Andrew Jackson. Although receiving much less attention than foreign affairs, Monroe’s inaugural address highlighted two domestic issues. One was the Panic of 1819, in which Americans experienced the loss of jobs, homes, and lands. The second domestic issue concerned Native Americans; Monroe was advocating what would become known as an “assimilationist” approach.
