description: We report the first direct and robust measurement of the faint-end slope of the Lyman-alpha emitter (LAE) luminosity function at z = 5.7. Candidate LAEs from a low-spectral-resolution blind search with IMACS on Magellan-Baade were targeted at higher resolution to distinguish high redshift LAEs from foreground galaxies. All but 2 of our 42 single-emission-line systems have flux F $< 2.0 \times 10^{-17}$ ergs s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$, making these the faintest emission-lines observed for a z = 5.7 sample with known completeness, an essential property for determining the faint end slope of the LAE luminosity function. We find 13 LAEs as compared to 29 foreground galaxies, in very good agreement with the modeled foreground counts predicted in Dressler et al. (2011a) that had been used to estimate a faint-end slope of $α$ = -2.0 for the LAE luminosity function. A 32% LAE fraction, LAE/(LAE+foreground), within the flux interval F = $2-20 \times 10^{-18}$ ergs s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$, constrains the faint end slope of the luminosity function to -2.35 < $α$ < -1.95 (1-$σ$). We show how this steep LF should provide, to the limit of our observations, more than 20% of the flux necessary to maintain ionization at z=5.7, with a factor-of-ten extrapolation in flux reaching more than 55%. This is in addition to a comparable contribution from Lyman Break Galaxies M$_{UV} \le$ -18. We suggest that this bodes well for a sufficient supply of Lyman continuum photons by similar, low-mass star forming galaxies within the reionization epoch at z $\approx$ 7, only 250 Myr earlier.

description: Purpose: To examine associations between recreational and occupational physical activity and prostate cancer aggressiveness in a population-based, case-only, incident prostate cancer study. Methods: Data were analyzed from the cross-sectional North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project of African-American (n = 1,023) and European-American (n = 1,079) men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer (CaP). High-aggressive CaP was defined as Gleason sum ≥ 8, or prostate-specific antigen > 20 ng/ml, or Gleason sum ≥ 7 and clinical stage T3–T4. Metabolic equivalent tasks (MET) were estimated from self-reported recreational physical activity in the year prior to diagnosis assessed retrospectively via a validated questionnaire and from occupational physical activity based on job titles. Associations between physical activity variables and high-aggressive prostate cancer were estimated using logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusting for multiple confounders. Results: There was suggestive evidence that walking for 75–150 min/week for exercise is associated with lower odds of high-aggressive prostate cancer compared to no walking (OR = 0.69, 95% CI 0.47–1.01). Physical activity at the current job was associated with 24% lower odds of high-aggressive prostate cancer (highest vs. lowest tertile OR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.56–1.04). However, total MET-h/week of recreational physical activity and accumulation of high-level physical activity at the longest-held job were not associated with high-aggressive prostate cancer. Results did not vary by race. Conclusions: The odds of high-aggressive prostate cancer were lower among men who walk for exercise and those engaged in occupations with high activity levels.

description: Noninteracting insulating electronic states of matter can be classified according to their symmetries in terms of topological invariants which can be related to effective surface theories. These effective surface theories are in turn topologically protected against the effects of disorder. Topological crystalline insulators are, on the other hand, trivial in the sense of the above classification but still possess surface modes. In this work we consider an extension of the Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model that describes a topological crystalline insulator. We explicitly show that the surface properties of this state can be as robust as in topologically nontrivial insulators, but only if the $S_z$-component of the spin is conserved. However, in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling this protection vanishes and the surface states localize, even if the crystalline symmetries are intact on average.

Year: 2022

description: Abstract: In recent decades the livelihoods approach has become central to rural development thinking and practice. But where do such attitudes come from, what are their ideological roots, and under what influence have they emerged? This article provides a historical overview of key moments in the debate on rural livelihoods in India, identifying the tensions, ambiguities and challenges of such approaches. A number of key challenges are identified, centering on the need to embed a more holistic political analysis at the heart of livelihoods approaches. This will enhance the potential of livelihoods approaches to address key gaps in recent debates with questions of knowledge, politics, scale and dynamics.

description: In this note we study the effects of a magnetic field on transport using holographic models with broken translational invariance. We show that, after carefully subtracting off non-trivial magnetisation currents, it is possible to express the DC transport currents of the boundary theory in terms of properties of a black hole horizon. This allows us to obtain simple analytic expressions for the electrical, thermoelectric and heat conductivity tensors. Our results apply to both isotropic and anisotropic models, including holographic Q-lattices and to certain theories where translational invariance is broken by linear sources for axions.

description: The ecological restoration of fire‐suppressed habitats may require a multifaceted approach. Removal of hardwood trees together with reintroduction of fire has been suggested as a method of restoring fire‐suppressed longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) forests; however, this strategy, although widespread, has not been evaluated on large spatial and temporal scales. We used a landscape‐scale experimental design to examine how bird assemblages in fire‐suppressed longleaf pine sandhills responded to fire alone or fire following mechanical removal or herbicide application to reduce hardwood levels. Individual treatments were compared to fire‐suppressed controls and reference sites. After initial treatment, all sites were managed with prescribed fire, on an approximately two‐ to three‐year interval, for over a decade. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling ordinations suggested that avian assemblages on sites that experienced any form of hardwood removal differed from assemblages on both fire‐suppressed sites and reference sites 3–4 years after treatment (i.e., early posttreatment). After >10 years of prescribed burning on all sites (i.e., late posttreatment), only assemblages at sites treated with herbicide were indistinguishable from assemblages at reference sites. By the end of the study, individual species that were once indicators of reference sites no longer contributed to making reference sites unique. Occupancy modeling of these indicator species also demonstrated increasing similarity across treatments over time. Overall, although we documented long‐term and variable assemblage‐level change, our results indicate occupancy for birds considered longleaf pine specialists was similar at treatment and reference sites after over a decade of prescribed burning, regardless of initial method of hardwood removal. In other words, based on the response of species highly associated with the habitat, we found no justification for the added cost and effort of fire surrogates; fire alone was sufficient to restore these species.

description: Wikipedia is one of the richest knowledge sources on the Web today. In order to facilitate navigating, searching, and maintaining its content, Wikipedia's guidelines state that all articles should be annotated with a so-called short description indicating the article's topic (e.g., the short description of beer is "Alcoholic drink made from fermented cereal grains"). Nonetheless, a large fraction of articles (ranging from 10.2% in Dutch to 99.7% in Kazakh) have no short description yet, with detrimental effects for millions of Wikipedia users. Motivated by this problem, we introduce the novel task of automatically generating short descriptions for Wikipedia articles and propose Descartes, a multilingual model for tackling it. Descartes integrates three sources of information to generate an article description in a target language: the text of the article in all its language versions, the already-existing descriptions (if any) of the article in other languages, and semantic type information obtained from a knowledge graph. We evaluate a Descartes model trained for handling 25 languages simultaneously, showing that it beats baselines (including a strong translation-based baseline) and performs on par with monolingual models tailored for specific languages. A human evaluation on three languages further shows that the quality of Descartes's descriptions is largely indistinguishable from that of human-written descriptions; e.g., 91.3% of our English descriptions (vs. 92.1% of human-written descriptions) pass the bar for inclusion in Wikipedia, suggesting that Descartes is ready for production, with the potential to support human editors in filling a major gap in today's Wikipedia across languages.
Searches for supersymmetry based on events with b jets and four W bosons in pp collisions at 8 TeV

description: Five mutually exclusive searches for supersymmetry are presented based on events in which b jets and four W bosons are produced in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 inverse femtobarns, were collected with the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC in 2012. The five studies differ in the leptonic signature from the W boson decays, and correspond to all-hadronic, single-lepton, opposite-sign dilepton, same-sign dilepton, and greater-than-or-equal-to-3 lepton final states. The results of the five studies are combined to yield 95% confidence level limits for the gluino and bottom-squark masses in the context of gluino and bottom-squark pair production, respectively. In the limit when the lightest supersymmetric particle is light, gluino and bottom-squark masses are excluded below 1280 and 570 GeV, respectively.

Gli uomini saranno dèi gli uni per gli altri
Creators: name: Carnevali, Barbara
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2023

description: In this paper, I reinterpret Rene Girard's anthropology, specifically the questions of desire and need for recognition, in the context of Augustinian philosophy. Focusing on Girard first book, Mensonge romantique et vérité romanesque, I place the mimetic theory within the tradition of moralists like Pascal, who wielded great influence in French literature and moral culture. In this context, Girard's conception of desire is shown as a continuation of Jansenist anthropology of amour-propre. In particular, Girard inherits from this tradition the idea that the man is marked by ontological lack, which is a consequence of the original sin. This ontological lack is expressed as a constant and insatiable desire of recognition: the man is a finite and inadequate being, and as such cannot find confirmation in himself, therefore he has to invest in a social sphere to justify his own existence. In man's heart, the place that was once occupied by the divine, is filled by the Others. The Others act as mundane gods who are capable, by their power to grant and to deny recognition, to justify (or not) the value of an individual life. By putting the question of recognition in erotic context, the Augustinian tradition allows us to explain a connection that exists between narcissism and object relations: the recognition that is expected from the others is in fact a transposition of the love of oneself. This interpretation emphasises that originality of Girard's mimetic theory is relative, considering it also in a dialogue with the antropology of his contemporaries, such as developed in Pierre Bourdieu's Pascalian Meditations. The paper also sheds a new light on the theological aspects of Girard's thought, showing that his definition of a man is deeply Christian in its cultural origin.

description: Background: There is a paucity of data on financial toxicity among patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Materials: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study of patients with HNSCC surveyed at an outpatient oncology clinic. Results: The sample included 202 patients with HNSCC with a mean age of 59.6 years (SD 10.0). There were 53 patients (26%) with self-reported financial burden. Education of high school or less was a significant predictor of self-reported financial burden (OR 2.52, 95% CI 1.03–6.14, p = 0.042). Patients reporting financial burden had significantly worse physical (p = 0.003), mental (p = 0.003), and functional (p = 0.036) health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Patients reporting financial burden appeared to have lower 5-year overall survival (74.3% vs. 83.9%, p = 0.165), but this association did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: Financial burden or toxicity may affect approximately a quarter of patients with HNSCC and appears to be associated with worse HRQOL outcomes.

description: Girard has an ambiguous debt toward the atmosphere spread in France by the Hegel Renaissance that marked many of those who grew up in the thirties and forties. Yet, as far as the theory of recognition is concerned, I will claim that mimetic theory takes a step forward. Inasmuch as it makes up a morphogenetic theory, Girard's work allows me to put forward a hypothesis to solve the problem of the origin of the Hegelian desire for recognition. This desire is not a natural drive that immediately induces a consciousness to desire the desire of the other, but a mimetic desire inspired by a determinat} and specific condition. Using René Girard's and Jean-Pierre Dupuy's work on the mimetic logic of social phenomena, I will mantain that this specific condition is itself created by the mimetic interaction and then spread around, once again by mimesis.

description: The theory of recognition, just as Girard's mimetic theory, claims to give an account of human behaviours both at the psichological and individual level and at the social, political, and historical one. From time to time, Girard himself hints at the theory of recognition. This paper takes into consideration not only theorists of recognition such as Honneth, but also mimetic theories already interested in the theme of recognition such as those of Spinoza and Adam Smith. It then puts forward an exam of the symmetrical claims of each one of these two theories to include the opponent and of their heuristic values. I maintain that Girard's mimetic theory is nothing more than a «moment» of the theory of recognition

description: Dynamical systems with translational or rotational symmetry arise frequently in studies of spatially extended physical systems, such as Navier-Stokes flows on periodic domains. In these cases, it is natural to express the state of the fluid in terms of a Fourier series truncated to a finite number of modes. Here, we study a 4-dimensional model with chaotic dynamics and SO(2) symmetry similar to those that appear in fluid dynamics problems. A crucial step in the analysis of such a system is symmetry reduction. We use the model to illustrate different symmetry-reduction techniques. Its relative equilibria are conveniently determined by rewriting the dynamics in terms of a symmetry-invariant polynomial basis. However, for the analysis of its chaotic dynamics, the `method of slices', which is applicable to very high-dimensional problems, is preferable. We show that a Poincaré section taken on the `slice' can be used to further reduce this flow to what is for all practical purposes a unimodal map. This enables us to systematically determine all relative periodic orbits and their symbolic dynamics up to any desired period. We then present cycle averaging formulas adequate for systems with continuous symmetry and use them to compute dynamical averages using relative periodic orbits. The convergence of such computations is discussed.

description: The Volume-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are used to study fluid flow in the presence of fixed or moving solids such as packed or fluidized beds. We develop a high-order finite element solver using both forms A and B of these equations. We introduce tailored stabilization techniques to prevent oscillations in regions of sharp gradients, to relax the Ladyzhenskaya-Babuska-Brezzi inf-sup condition, and to enhance the local mass conservation and the robustness of the formulation. We calculate the void fraction using the Particle Centroid Method. Using different drag models, we calculate the drag force exerted by the solids on the fluid. We implement the method of manufactured solution to verify our solver. We demonstrate that the model preserves the order of convergence of the underlying finite element discretization. Finally, we simulate gas flow through a randomly packed bed and study the pressure drop and mass conservation properties to validate our model.

description: Previous studies have demonstrated that changes in temperature and precipitation (hereafter climate change) would influence river discharge, but the relative importance of climate change, land use, and elevated atmospheric CO2 have not yet been fully investigated. A process-based projection for the Mississippi River basin suggests that river discharge would be substantially enhanced (10.7–59.8%) by the 2090s compared to the recent decade (2000s), although large discrepancies exist among different climate, atmospheric CO2, and land use change scenarios. Our factorial analyses further indicate that the combined effects of land use change and human-induced atmospheric CO2 elevation on river discharge would outweigh climate change effect under the high-emission scenario (A2) of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change, while climate change would still play the dominant role under the low-emission scenario (B1). This study highlights the important role of anthropogenic factors in influencing future hydrological processes and water resources.

description: In the Indian court system, pending cases have long been a problem. There are more than 4 crore cases outstanding. Manually summarising hundreds of documents is a time-consuming and tedious task for legal stakeholders. Many state-of-the-art models for text summarization have emerged as machine learning has progressed. Domain-independent models don't do well with legal texts, and fine-tuning those models for the Indian Legal System is problematic due to a lack of publicly available datasets. To improve the performance of domain-independent models, the authors have proposed a methodology for normalising legal texts in the Indian context. The authors experimented with two state-of-the-art domain-independent models for legal text summarization, namely BART and PEGASUS. BART and PEGASUS are put through their paces in terms of extractive and abstractive summarization to understand the effectiveness of the text normalisation approach. Summarised texts are evaluated by domain experts on multiple parameters and using ROUGE metrics. It shows the proposed text normalisation approach is effective in legal texts with domain-independent models.

With that difference, this paper notice how the second "cannot say" must become a creative saying, i.e. a think otherwise radically different if we want transform our societies. Well, despite what we may think, the political issue not only involves an organized otherwise but, fundamentally, one thinks otherwise.

description: Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) are useful for predicting breast cancer risk, but the prediction accuracy of existing PRSs in women of African ancestry (AA) remains relatively low. We aim to develop optimal PRSs for the prediction of overall and estrogen receptor (ER) subtype-specific breast cancer risk in AA women. The AA dataset comprised 9235 cases and 10 184 controls from four genome-wide association study (GWAS) consortia and a GWAS study in Ghana. We randomly divided samples into training and validation sets. We built PRSs using individual-level AA data by a forward stepwise logistic regression and then developed joint PRSs that combined (1) the PRSs built in the AA training dataset and (2) a 313-variant PRS previously developed in women of European ancestry. PRSs were evaluated in the AA validation set. For overall breast cancer, the odds ratio per standard deviation of the joint PRS in the validation set was 1.34 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.27-1.42] with the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.581. Compared with women with average risk (40th-60th PRS percentile), women in the top decile of the PRS had a 1.98-fold increased risk (95% CI: 1.63-2.39). For PRSs of ER-positive and ER-negative breast cancer, the AUCs were 0.608 and 0.576, respectively. Compared with existing methods, the proposed joint PRSs can improve prediction of breast cancer risk in AA women.

description: Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) and selenide (Sb2Se3) are emerging earth-abundant absorbers for photovoltaic applications. Solar cell performance depends strongly on charge carrier transport properties but these remain poorly understood in Sb2X3. Here we report band-like transport in Sb2X3 by investigating the electron-lattice interaction and theoretical limits of carrier mobility using first-principles density functional theory and Boltzmann transport calculations. We demonstrate that transport in Sb2X3 is governed by large polarons with moderate Fröhlich coupling constants (~ 2), large polaron radii (extending over several unit cells) and high carrier mobility (an isotropic average of > 10 for both electrons and holes). The room temperature mobility is intrinsically limited by scattering from polar phonon modes and is further reduced in highly defective samples. Our study confirms that the performance of the Sb2X3 solar cells is not limited by intrinsic self-trapping.

description: The early dark energy (EDE) solution to the Hubble tension comes at the cost of an increased clustering amplitude that has been argued to worsen the fit to galaxy clustering data. We explore whether freeing the total neutrino mass $M_ν$, which can suppress small-scale structure growth, improves EDE's fit to galaxy clustering. Using Planck Cosmic Microwave Background and BOSS galaxy clustering data, a Bayesian analysis shows that freeing $M_ν$ does not appreciably increase the inferred EDE fraction $f_{\rm EDE}$: we find the 95% C.L. upper limits $f_{\rm EDE}<0.092$ and $M_ν<0.15\,{\rm eV}$. Similarly, in a frequentist profile likelihood setting (where our results support previous findings that prior volume effects are important), we find that the baseline EDE model (with $M_ν=0.06\,{\rm eV}$) provides the overall best fit. For instance, compared to baseline EDE, a model with $M_ν=0.24\,{\rm eV}$ maintains the same $H_0$(km/s/Mpc)=(70.08, 70.11, respectively) whilst decreasing $S_8$=(0.837, 0.826) to the $Λ$CDM level, but worsening the fit significantly by $Δχ^2=7.5$. For the datasets used, these results are driven not by the clustering amplitude, but by background modifications to the late-time expansion rate due to massive neutrinos, which worsen the fit to measurements of the BAO scale.

description: Opportunistic affect sensing offers unprecedented potential for capturing spontaneous affect ubiquitously, obviating biases inherent in the laboratory setting. Facial expression and voice are two major affective displays, however most affect sensing systems on smartphone avoid them due to extensive power requirement. Encouragingly, due to the recent advent of low-power DSP (Digital Signal Processing) co-processor and GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) technology, audio and video sensing are becoming more feasible. To properly evaluate opportunistically captured facial expression and voice, contextual information about the dynamic audio-visual stimuli needs to be inferred. This paper discusses recent advances of affect sensing on the smartphone and identifies the key barriers and potential solutions of implementing opportunistic and context-aware affect sensing on smartphone platforms.

Electric-magnetic Duality of Abelian Gauge Theory on the Four-torus, from the Fivebrane on T2 x T4, via their Partition Functions

description: We compute the partition function of four-dimensional abelian gauge theory on a general four-torus T4 with flat metric using Dirac quantization. In addition to an SL(4, Z) symmetry, it possesses SL(2,Z) symmetry that is electromagnetic S-duality. We show explicitly how this SL(2, Z) S-duality of the 4d abelian gauge theory has its origin in symmetries of the 6d (2,0) tensor theory, by computing the partition function of a single fivebrane compactified on T2 x T4, which has SL(2,Z) x SL(4,Z) symmetry. If we identify the couplings of the abelian gauge theory τ= {θ\over 2π} + i{4π\over e^2} with the complex modulus of the T2 torus, τ= β^2 + i {R_1\over R_2}, then in the small T2 limit, the partition function of the fivebrane tensor field can be factorized, and contains the partition function of the 4d gauge theory. In this way the SL(2,Z) symmetry of the 6d tensor partition function is identified with the S-duality symmetry of the 4d gauge partition function. Each partition function is the product of zero mode and oscillator contributions, where the SL(2,Z) acts suitably. For the 4d gauge theory, which has a Lagrangian, this product redistributes when using path integral quantization.

description: The Phenomenology, despite referring to the scientific thought of the late ’800s, has had a strong religious interest since its origins. In this paper I attempt to reconstruct the religious elements which have determined the development of early phenomenology through the work of Husserl, the young Heidegger and Stein. Husserl’s attention for the philosophy as rigorous science, as well as Heidegger’s interest for historicity, have a religious motivation that becomes explicit in Edith Stein’s Christian phenomenology.

The homological arrow polynomial for virtual links

description: The arrow polynomial is an invariant of framed oriented virtual links that generalizes the virtual Kauffman bracket. In this paper we define the homological arrow polynomial, which generalizes the arrow polynomial to framed oriented virtual links with labeled components. The key observation is that, given a link in a thickened surface, the homology class of the link defines a functional on the surface's skein module, and by applying it to the image of the link in the skein module this gives a virtual link invariant. We give a graphical calculus for the homological arrow polynomial by taking the usual diagrams for the Kauffman bracket and including labeled "whiskers" that record intersection numbers with each labeled component of the link. We use the homological arrow polynomial to study $(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})$-nullhomologous virtual links and checkerboard colorability, giving a new way to complete Imabeppu's characterization of checkerboard colorability of virtual links with up to four crossings. We also prove a version of the Kauffman-Murasugi-Thistlethwaite theorem that the breadth of an evaluation of the homological arrow polynomial for an "h-reduced" diagram $D$ is $4(c(D)-g(D)+1)$.

description: Purpose: To better understand health care utilization and develop decision support tools, methods for identifying patients with suspected genetic diseases (GDs) are needed. Previous studies had identified inpatient-relevant International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes that were possibly, probably, or definitely indicative of GDs. We assessed whether these codes identified GD-related inpatient, outpatient, and emergency department encounters among pediatric patients with suspected GDs from a previous study (the North Carolina Clinical Genomic Evaluation by Next-Generation Exome Sequencing [NCGENES] study). Methods: Using the electronic medical records of 140 pediatric patients from the NCGENES study, we characterized the presence of ICD codes representing possible, probable, or definite GD-related diagnoses across encounter types. In addition, we examined codes from encounters for which initially no GD-related codes had been found and determined whether these codes were indicative of a GD. Results: Among NCGENES patients with visits between 2014 and 2017, 92% of inpatient, 75% of emergency department, and 63% of outpatient encounters included ≥1 GD-related code. Encounters with highly specific (ie, definite) GD codes had fewer low-specificity GD codes than encounters with only low-specificity GD codes. We identified an additional 32 ICD-9 and 56 ICD-10 codes possibly indicative of a GD. Conclusion: Code-based strategies can be refined to assess health care utilization among pediatric patients and may contribute to a systematic approach to identify patients with suspected GDs.

As an application, this allows us to construct large families of commuting and q-commuting difference operators, in particular, providing a convenient approach to the Q-systems where it proves a conjecture of arXiv:1704.00154.

Single-point position and transition defects in continuous time quantum walks

Year: 2015

description: We present a detailed analysis of continuous time quantum walks (CTQW) with both position and transition defects defined at a single point in the line. Analytical solutions of both traveling waves or bound states are obtained, which provide valuable insight into the dynamics of CTQW. The number of bound states is found to be critically dependent on the defect parameters, and the localized probability peaks can be readily obtained by projecting the CTQW wavefunction on to these bound states. The interference between two bound states are also observed in the case of a transition defect. The spreading of CTQW probability over the line can be finely tuned by varying the position and transition defect parameters, offering the possibility of precision quantum control of the system.

La deduzione ermeneutica

Publisher: name: Trópos

description: In this essay I contend that in order for philosophical hermeneutics to be a coherent theory of truth, it must justify its use of the concept of interpretation rather than merely accept it as a fact of our situation. In order to furnish a foundation for hermeneutics that is neither the relativism of the unending of interpretations nor the dogmatism of an absolute criterion for hermeneutics, I turn to Kant’s transcendental deduction in the Critique of Pure Reason, which serves both to question and establish foundations. Thus, I argue that hermeneutics becomes “philosophical” when it is no longer concerned with interpretation in its technical application or as an unquestioned method, but takes up the issue of interpretation itself through the justification of its own principles and foundations – a method that I here explore as a “hermeneutic deduction.”
