Kierkegaard and the Traditions of the Comic in Philosophy
Authors: Amir Lydia B. 
Published: February 2016

AbstractThe paper relates Kierkegaard’s body of thought on the comic, irony, and humor to ten traditions of the comic (eight dating from antiquity and two from modern and postmodern times) that represent philosophy’s complex relationship with the comic. I emphasize the ancient, medieval, and Renaissance roots in Kierkegaard’s vision of the comic and in doing so hope to fill a gap within the pertinent scholarship. In particular, I inquire into the sources of his thought in and his indebtedness to these traditions in order to determine how, if at all, his conception of the comic, irony, and humor may be deemed original.
The Soul of a Philosopher: Reply to Turnbull
Authors: Rudd Anthony , Stokes Patrick 
Published: February 2016

AbstractJamie Turnbull has argued that Kierkegaard cannot be read either as a philosopher or as someone whose work can be understood and utilised in philosophical terms. In a previous Yearbook article, he singles us out as representative of a misguided approach that sees Kierkegaard as capable of contributing to contemporary philosophical debates. In this paper, we argue that Turnbull’s position both fails in its own terms and depends upon an unduly narrow conception of philosophy.
In Defense of a Straightforward Reading of Fear and Trembling
Authors: Kemp Ryan 
Published: February 2016

AbstractIn this essay, I attempt to carve out interpretive space for a so-called “straightforward” reading of Fear and Trembling. Toward this end, I argue that recent attempts to challenge the reliability of Johannes de Silentio and/or emphasize the presence of a “hidden message” succeed, in large part, by (1) misconstruing the goals and method of Kierkegaard’s indirect communication and (2) relying too heavily on elements of the text that lend only circumstantial support to their interpretation. Given this, interpreters should be considerably more open to the possibility that Kierkegaard means what Fear and Trembling explicitly says.
Verführung nach Kierkegaard. Ein soziologischer Versuch
Authors: Kray Thorn-R. 
Published: February 2016

AbstractSeduction is not solely a matter of literary history (anymore). In the 1980s a community has emerged that, up to the present day, developed practical methodologies applicable in any public venue and social gathering. Nonetheless, the leading figures of this PickUp community strongly acknowledge their predecessors as they can be found in literary history. Prominently, Kierkegaard, in his “Seducer’s Diary,” has introduced such a predecessor. As part of Either/Or, the diary meticulously unfolds and portrays the interactional dynamics of seduction. To analyze this process sociologically is the main objective of the present article. In order to achieve this goal, the essay comments on how fictional literature can become material for social science and, after pointing to the multiple layers of the reader/writer/editor-relation, focuses on two questions crucial to seduction as a micro-interactional procedure: (1) What is the effect of seduction, in particular for the seduced? Arguing that seduction involves a form of empowerment, the article finds an explanation for Cordelia’s letters being displayed before Johannes’ narration begins. (2) What are the concrete techniques of seduction? Isolating three of them-including the gaze-the essay concludes that Kierkegaard was not only a theologian, religious author and philosopher, but he was also a social theorist.
Going No Further: Toward an Interpretation of “Problema III” in Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling
Authors: Conway Daniel 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
The concluding paragraphs of “Problema III” in Fear and Trembling feature a narrator determined to defend the good name of Abraham. Rejuvenated by his excursion to the aesthetic-ethical confinium, Johannes de silentio endeavors to defend the ethical merit of Abraham’s notorious promise of divine providence. Along the way, however, Johannes unexpectedly arrives at the realization that his supposed bond with Abraham is little more than a fabrication on his part. As “Problema III” approaches its conclusion, Johannes suspends his quest for self-understanding. Without Abraham as his traveling companion, he will go no further
Faith in a Rational Age: A Dialogue with Climacus
Authors: van Stee Annemarie 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Johannes Climacus has been invited to address a 21st century, largely secular audience on the topic of religious faith and its (ir)rationality. Climacus refuses to lecture, but in the dialogue that ensues, his views become clear. This article is my transcript of the meeting as it unfolds. Climacus finds himself confronted with contemporary theoretical positions regarding the (ir)rationality of faith as well as with real-life cases such as a touchy-feely type of spirituality and religiously inspired terrorism. In response, he clarifies his idea of faith as subjective truth, revealing the criteria he uses to distinguish faith from pseufaith. Throughout, the lively dialogue shows the enduring relevance of Climacus’ thought
Climacus and Kierkegaard on the Outward Relationship with God
Authors: Torrance Andrew B. 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Overshadowed by a superficial reading of his pseudonym, Johannes Climacus’ statement “subjectivity is truth,” Søren Kierkegaard has come to be perceived in the theological world as overly individualistic and anthropocentric in his thinking. This has contributed to the perception that, for Kierkegaard, it is the individual Christian who is in charge of her Christian faith. In this essay, I endeavor to challenge this perception through an analysis of Climacus and Kierkegaard’s emphasis on the outward nature of the God-relationship
“A Swarm of Laughter!” On Kierkegaard’s Conception of Enthusiasm and Its Comedic Remedy, an Enlightenment Inheritance
Authors: Webb Carson Seabourn 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Today the term “enthusiasm” signifies little more than innocuous excitement. During the Enlightenment, however, the term was abuzz with pejorative innuendos of sub-humanity, the many nuances of which were debated in the public sphere. Its significance was more sting than substance, however, and by the middle of the nineteenth century Kierkegaard could complain that the category of enthusiasm had become hopelessly unclear. Despite this, based on The Book on Adler and on three texts in which Kierkegaard uses Socrates as a prototype of enthusiasm, I argue that Kierkegaard’s concept of enthusiasm places him in the lineage of earlier Enlightenment writers, such as Lessing, Shaftesbury, and Kant, whose conceptions and critiques of enthusiasm Kierkegaard was familiar with. By putting Kierkegaard’s use of the comic in The Book on Adler into conversation with Shaftesbury’s and Kant’s comedic remedies for enthusiasm, the extent to which Kierkegaard is an inheritor of and detractor from this tradition becomes evident
Das Problem des religiösen Akosmismus in der Kierkegaard-Rezeption von Karl Jaspers
Authors: Czakó István 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Karl Jaspers’ reception of Kierkegaard has been characterized by some commentators as a largely uncritical appropriation. In my paper I argue that this view is not entirely adequate since the former’s attitude to the Danish thinker is by no means purely affirmative. By contrast, it seems to me that the punctum saliens of his criticism is the idea of a religiously motivated negation of the world (religiöse Weltverneinung), which certainly dominates the later thought of Kierkegaard. In order to justify my claim both Jaspers’ existential concept of the world and that of a world negation will be dealt with. In the main part of the article I will try to reconstruct, from a historical point of view (a) the shaping and development of Jaspers’ increasingly sharp criticism of Kierkegaard’s “acosmic” view of Christianity and (b) his late self-distancing from the Danish thinker. In my concluding remarks I will point out that although his criticism is in principal not unfounded, it is nevertheless one-sided and reductionistic, since it is based mainly on Kierkegaard’s polemical writings from the late period of his Kirchenkampf and as such ignores or at least underestimates some important aspects of Kierkegaard’s early thought

Theophanis the Monk and Monoimus the
Arab in a Phenomenological-Cognitive
Perspective
Authors: Louchakova-Schwartz Olga 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Two brief Late Antique religious texts, respectively by the monk Theophanis and by Monoimus
the Arab, present an interesting problem of whether they embody the authors’ experience, or whether
they are merely literary constructs. Rather than approaching this issue through the lens of theory, the
article shows how phenomenological analysis and studies of living subjectivity can be engaged with
the text in order to clarify the contents of introspective experience and the genesis of its religious
connotations. The analysis uncovers a previously unnoticed form of embodied introspective religious
experience which is structured as a ladder with a distinct internal structure with the high degree of
synchronic and diachronic stability. This approach also helps one identify the specific introspective
techniques in the canonical and non-canonical literature of early Christian tradition, as related to
the concepts of “theosis” and “kenosys”, as well as to suggest some neurological correspondents of
religious cognition.
Treating a Previously Bleached Artwork on Paper
Authors: Hummert Eva , Kling Susanne , Brückle Irene , Müller Dorothea , Roller Julia 
Published: February 2016

AbstractThe case study describes the treatment of an etching that had been bleached in the past with 4% hydrogen peroxide and had subsequently suffered extensive colour reversion in the form of foxing and overall discolouration. Staining was most likely caused by the action of hydrogen peroxide on previously unnoticed iron particles in the paper. The print now underwent treatment to stabilize the damaged paper. The print was immersed for 50 seconds in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid HCl (pH 1.1) to extract as much as possible of the iron contamination from the paper; this was followed after rinsing steps by complexation of remaining iron ions through immersion in a calcium phytate solution (1.75 mmol/L, pH 5.3). The treatment, which included extensive rinsing, significantly diminished the foxing stains. No further bleaching treatment was conducted to diminish remaining stains so as not to risk further destabilization of the pre-damaged paper.
Potassium Permanganate Bleaching of an 18th-Century Hand-Coloured Aquatint Print
Authors: Strebel Martin 
Published: February 2016

AbstractThe treatment of a large-scale late 18th-century landscape view is described, focussing on a bleaching treatment. The hand-coloured aquatint Panorama de Chaumont is owned by the Bibliothèque cantonale et universitaire in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. It had been mounted on a wooden strainer and framed without glazing; severe and uneven browning made it unsuitable for presentation. The discolouration resulted from light exposure and direct contact with a wooden strainer which released volatile organic compounds. To minimize the discolouration, the six parts of the print were dismounted and separated along the joints from each other. The pieces were deacidified in tap water. Only one segment was bleached at first with a 0.1% potassium permanganate solution. However, large areas of blue colouring were decolourized during the subsequent sodium dithionite treatment. The decolourized areas of the print recovered their previous blue tone during the following rinsing in water and drying. The unexpected effect was caused by the reduction of indigo to indigo white (leuco-indigo) and its subsequent re-oxidation to indigo in absence of the reducing agent and through impact of atmospheric oxygen. Being able to assess the variables after a first testing phase, all print segments were finally bleached with a 1% potassium permanganate solution. The sheets were deacidified aqueously, resized on the verso with a 0.8% gelatine solution and tears were repaired. The image segments were not rejoined contrary to conservation recommendations.
Salvage and Treatment for the Archives in Beichuan Earthquake
Authors: Zhang Meifang , Sun Ying 
Published: February 2016

AbstractIn 2008, Beichuan Archives were severely damaged by a massive earthquake. Immediate rescue work was followed by elaborate treatment of damaged documents. In the first stage, archival documents were rescued from the immediate earthquake zone. They were classified into two groups roughly according to their degree of damage. Severely damaged archival documents were stored in a cold storage warehouse and those with a less extensive degree of damage could be stored in a temporary repository. The second stage involved three treatment measures for the severely damaged archival documents: vacuum freeze drying, disinfection by means of ethylene oxide and finally conservation measures involving surface cleaning, mechanical stabilization, mounting and binding. Finally, all treated documents were digitalized.
Hidden Text Detection by Infrared Thermography / Anwendung der aktiven Infrarotthermographie (IRT) zur Erfassung von verdeckten Texten / Utilisation de la thermographie infrarouge (IRT) pour détecter des textes cachés
Authors: Mercuri Fulvio , Gnoli Roberta , Paoloni Stefano , Orazi Noemi , Cicero Cristina , Zammit Ugo , Marinelli Massimo , Scudieri Folco 
Published: February 2016

AbstractWe present an opto-thermal approach based on the use of active infrared thermography (IRT) for the study of texts hidden inside the bookbinding structure of ancient books. In particular we focus our investigation on the detection and characterization of texts on paper scraps, belonging to earlier handwritten or printed leaves, used for the making of bookbindings and lying between the end papers and the cover. A qualitative description of the physical mechanisms allowing the identification of texts is proposed and a comparative analysis of the results obtained by means of different IRT experimental configurations is presented. The results show that active IRT can be a very useful tool for the detection and the identification of underlying texts whose reading can provide useful information on the specific history of ancient books.
Ideas for Mounting and Framing of Large-Scale Works on Paper
Authors: Masson Olivier , Strasser Véronique , Ritter Michaela 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
When mounting large-sized objects on paper, there is often a risk that the work, if handled carelessly, touches the glass. This can result in damage to the paint layer. One way to prevent this is to mount with cross-shaped hinges made of Japanese paper attached to the centre of the verso of the object. In order to minimize tensions in the paper, the wheat starch paste can be applied by means of a stencilled-dot method or the “micro-dot” method. After mounting the work on a backing board by means of the presented hinges the object is enclosed dustproof. The so-called package consists of glazing, spacer, mat, work of art and backboard. The additional framing is done with a mounting frame which gives particularly large-format framing sufficient stability.

AbstractOriginal first-principles calculations were performed to study the structural and electronic properties of quaternary BxAlyGa1–x–yN compounds, using the non-relativistic full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method as employed in the Wien2k code. For the exchange-correlation potential, local density approximation and generalized gradient approximation have been used to calculate theoretical lattice parameters, bulk modulus, and their pressure derivatives. Non-linear variation with compositionsxandyof the lattice parameter, bulk modulus, and direct and indirect band gaps have been found. The calculated bowing of the fundamental band gaps is in good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical values.

Determining Specimen Geometry of Cylindrical Specimens for Direct Tension Fatigue Testing of Asphalt Concrete
Authors: Lee Jong-Sub , Norouzi Amirhossein , Kim Y. Richard 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
This paper presented a specimen geometry study of cylindrical specimens used in the direct tension cyclic (DTC) fatigue testing of asphalt concrete using an asphalt mixture performance tester. The current specimen geometry for DTC fatigue testing is 100 mm in diameter and 150 mm in height with a linear variable differential transducer (LVDT) gauge length of 70 mm in the middle of the specimen. In order to use the displacement data for mechanistic fatigue performance modeling, specimen failure must occur within the length of the LVDT gauge. However, recent experiments using stiff mixtures have shown that failure often occurs outside the LVDT gauge length. This specimen geometry study was conducted to determine the specimen geometry that enhances the propensity of the failure inside the gauge length without sacrificing the advantage of the DTC testing that provides uniform stresses and strains in the middle of the specimen. Laboratory experiments were performed on cylindrical specimens of different geometries (i.e., different diameters and lengths). Test specimen diameters of 75 mm and 100 mm and specimen heights of 130 mm and 150 mm were used in this study. The specimen geometry effects on damage characteristic curves and failure criteria were identified through ANOVA tests and layered viscoelastic pavement analysis for critical distresses (LVECD) program. Based on analysis results and experimental verification tests, the specimen geometry recommended for the DTC testing is 100 mm in diameter and 130 mm in height with a 70-mm gauge length. The recommended specimen geometry is applicable when the gyratory-compacted specimen geometry is 150 mm in diameter and more than 178 mm in height.
Implementation of Thermal-Energy-Harvesting Technology on Pavement
Authors: Kim Jaehong , Lee Seung-Tae , Yang Sunglin , Lee Jaejun 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Energy harvesting is one of the techniques of high interest for approaching the global energy problem without depleting natural resources. Energy-harvesting technology from the road is a new research area, because the energy surrounding road space is available in many different forms, such as wind, solar, thermal, and mechanical energy. The goal of this study is to determine the possibility of an energy-harvesting technology for pavement that absorbs the solar radiation, thus increasing the internal temperature. There is a temperature difference maintained between the atmospheric temperature and the pavement surface. This temperature difference is tapped and converted into electrical energy using a thermoelectric (TE) module device. The TE module device's system captures energy from this temperature difference, based on the Seebeck effect. This paper describes various application procedures for pavement. The system focuses on the development of an energy-harvesting system for energy use. The present research indicates that the limited simple system in this study can be used to capture heat energy from pavement, and shows promise for supporting power from waste solar energy in roads. Also, the TE module can be placed within road space, whereas solar panels have to be exposed to sunlight.
Investigation on 3D 1-mm Pavement-Surface-Model-Based AASHTO PP69-10 Rutting Parameters
Authors: Qiu S. , Wang K. C. P. , Wang W. , Li J. Q. 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Rutting measurement is critical to modern pavement modeling and management. Over the years, pavement rutting has been measured manually or using limited-point automated devices. However, such lagging technologies and outdated protocols have led to the “rutting depth”-only convention, which compromises the application of rutting data. Recently, the new three-dimensional (3D) 1-mm pavement-surface model produced with a novel system is capable of providing pavement engineers full-lane-width high-resolution transverse profiles for rutting analysis. Multiple rutting characteristics, such as rutting cross-sectional area and deformation, can be consistently derived based on the new AASHTO protocol PP69-10. To provide insight into PP69-10 rutting parameters, bulks of transverse profile data collected from the Arkansas National Highway System (NHS) are analyzed in this study. The value range of PP69-10 deformation parameter is modeled in this study and the relationship of rutting depth measured with the traditional method and the new PP69-10 method is established. Furthermore, the correlations among different PP69-10 rutting attributes are examined. Results presented in this study will be helpful to highway agencies in shifting the state of the practice of rutting measurement.
