Talk:Norman Shumway

message: It should be noted that Dr. Shumway was working on heart transplantation at Stanford University Hospital in San Francisco, California, in the late 1950s.  Early experiments were carried out around 1957–1959 on dogs.  Shumway wasn't the only one working on this research, but he was the most successful.  According to a relative who worked with Shumway at the time, after the transplant operations he would spend nights with his animal patients, caring for them and trying to make them live as long as possible, while his colleagues, who would "call it a day" and go home in the evening, showed little success.  By the time Shumway attempted his first heart transplant on a human patient in 1968, he already had over ten years of experience working with animal subjects.  One would have expected Dr. Shumway to be the first-ever to perform human heart transplantation surgery, so it was with some surprise that the world learned of Dr. Christiaan Barnard doing it first in South Africa on December 3, 1967.  Those who were familiar with these developments in medical science suspected there was a bit of competition for publicity.  At any rate, Shumway performed his first human transplantation operation on January 6, 1968, barely a month later.  Barnard's patient succumbed to pneumonia 18 days after surgery; Shumway's patient succumbed within 15 days due to multiple systemic complications. — QuicksilverT @ 19:37, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:P. F. Strawson

message: From my limited readings in philosophy, it seems like Strawson had some very interesting contributions to discussions regarding metaphysics and free will. I don't think highly enough of my own acumen to attempt to characterize his views (though perhaps I could explain him on the subject of free will) so I think we need to convince an expert to contribute to this article in those respects. 
It's strange that a philosopher of Strawson's reputation has such an anemic article.
Also, I'm currently taking John Searle's class in the Philosophy of Mind, and he mentioned in passing that Strawson was his tutor at Oxford for a time and that after receiving it, Strawson told the then undergraduate Searle to send a paper of his called 'Proper Names' to the journals for publication. Searle did just that, and now he is credited with originating a very interesting form of a descriptivist theory of reference. It just goes to show that the world of philosophy is small indeed. 71.116.79.36 12:21, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Smoking

message: The comment about "Marvel Supervillains" seems very off the wall. Unless it is properly sourced, and some sense is provided of what was meant by it, and perhaps the context in which it was said, then I do not think it should be there. The analytical philosophy tradition to which both Strawsons very much belong is broadly a continuation in the enlightenment tradition (though I suppose Wittgenstein might be an exception to that, and I am sure he influenced Strawson).
I am not surprised that other philosophers disagree, the mystery is why anyone would ever have thought such a remark at all appropriate. Treharne (talk) 07:51, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Marvel Supervillains

message: "...our common, shared, human conceptual scheme." just means "...our common conceptual scheme." doesn't it?  After all, if it ours, it's human, and if it's common, it's shared.  Similarly, "... how we, humans, think about reality." just means "... how we think about reality."

message: I removed the citation entered by the title of the "Life" section as it ought not to go there but inline with the text (in multiple instances if applicable). Even if the whole section content as it stands is derived entirely from this source, it is still better to provide multiple inline refs as in future, further content may be added which derives from other sources, or if later additions were to be unsourced, this also would be evident. If you want to add repeated refs to this same source, adding  will do the trick now. (Incidentally, this syntax for repeated instances of the ref was generated automatically when I actioned "Expand citations" in the toolbox on the left of the page to combine two other instances of that ref so that they list together in the footnotes below.
