Whole Foods Market Friday announced that by 2018, all products in its U.S. and Canadian stores must be labeled to indicate if they contain genetically modified organisms. Whole Foods is the first grocer to set a deadline for full GMO labeling.
Whole Foods Market currently sells 3,300 Non-GMO Project verified products from 250 brands. It will now expand this effort, working with suppliers as they transition to ingredients from non-GMO sources, or clearly label products containing GMOs by the five-year deadline.
The grocery chain says it will make announcements about progress and key milestones along the way.
"We are putting a stake in the ground on GMO labeling to support the consumer's right to know," Walter Robb, co-CEO of Whole Foods Market, said in a press statement. "The prevalence of GMOs in the U.S. paired with nonexistent mandatory labeling makes it very difficult for retailers to source non-GMO options and for consumers to choose non-GMO products. Accordingly, we are stepping up our support of certified organic agriculture, where GMOs are not allowed, and we are working together with our supplier partners to grow our non-GMO supply chain to ensure we can continue to provide these choices in the future."
Whole Foods cited the group JustLabelIt.org in a press announcement as a key player in the GMO labeling movement. The group was active last fall in California's Proposition 37 ballot initiative, which would have required GMO labeling in California. The initiative narrowly failed with 48.6% of voters submitting a yes vote, while 51.4% voted against the measure.
Robb said that growing interest is why the chain set a labeling deadline.
"Whole Foods Market … looks forward to supporting other state efforts that may finally lead to one uniform set of national standards," Robb said. "While we are encouraged by the many mandatory labeling initiatives, we are committed to moving forward with our own GMO transparency plan now."
Though a growing movement to label GM food products is gaining steam in several states, not all parties support the idea. Those opposed say across the board labeling – not just in grocery stores – would result in higher costs for consumers. Specifically, the No on 37 movement said GMO labeling requirements conflict with scientific findings that the foods are safe.

Rizhome is an electroacoustic duo by Fabrizio Fiore on live electronics and Michele Spanghero who plays acoustic bass. The time axis of this performance is developed like a non-linear rhizome able to establish connections in any direction through a free interlacement of segments, references and reflections. As a short-term memory transfigures moments that continually reappear, so the performance is based on the continuous reworking of the material through a real time sound processing to create an instant electroacoustic composition.

Who doesn't need a helping hand when it comes to losing weight? In fact, a Brown University study found that online weight-loss programs that were based not only on good medical information but also offered feedback from a professional were more successful for dieters than those that were only information-based. To find the best of the leading diet sites that offer solid advice and support, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute examined the 10 most popular, assessing the sites' questionnaires (to be sure they're analyzing your needs properly), experts' credentials, variety and value of diet recommendations including reasonable expectations for weight loss, Internet privacy policies, and ease of site navigation. We've also noted if these sites have a fitness component (if that's more what you're after, see our Top Fitness Sites). Keep in mind: Before starting a new diet, consult your physician.
This science-based diet from cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston began when he was looking for a way for his overweight patients to make healthier food choices and lose weight to reduce heart strain and other vascular problems that result from obesity. The site is easy to navigate and has many tools, like a grocery-shopping planner, a guide to staying on the program when dining out, and a recipe archive. The program includes daily snacks and dessert, so you won't feel deprived. However, there are initial diet restrictions. In the first two weeks, the diet prescribes omitting grains, sugar, and fruits, which could be discouraging to some. The site also offers good expert feedback — something you won't get from just buying the book. While one-on-one counseling is available for $3 per week, you can post on the "Ask the Nutritionist" message board for a fast reply. The site also includes the South Beach Diet Fitness Club, consisting of Pilates-based core movements with pictures and step-by-step video instruction.
This site has an extensive introductory questionnaire that helps tailor meal plans and advice to your eating style and personality (heavy snacker, mindless eater, and more). Users also have easy access to the staff doctor, Dr. Robert Kushner, a professor at Northwestern University's medical school and president-elect of the Obesity Society. You can e-mail or post personalized questions to the "Coaching Corner" for same-day responses from Dr. Kushner. The site hosts live weekly chats with diet and fitness experts, message boards, and a buddy system to pair you with a fellow dieter for more motivation. Also offered is advice on coping with emotional concerns that often lead to overeating, although our expert couldn't find any articles on maintenance and avoiding weight regain. Fitness information — including workout planners and video exercises — is included.
Very customizable meal plans allow you to enter health concerns like "low-cholesterol" and "low-sodium, " something that wasn't offered on other sites. The program is broken into stages one through four, to help move you through the journey of weight loss one step at a time. The online community is very active, and "Spark Teams" of other members will help keep you motivated on bad days. Somewhat unconventional meals (example: black beans and corn over rice, cottage cheese, and a cookie) might not be appealing or satisfying for everyone. Sparkpeople's fitness component is just as extensive as the nutrition section.


For the first time since Corey Perry broke into the NHL as a feisty 20-year-old in 2005, the Anaheim Ducks will be without their goal-scoring right wing for a significant amount of time.
The 2011 NHL Most Valuable Player had surgery Wednesday, Ducks general manager Bob Murray said. The 33-year-old forward tore his meniscus and injured a knee ligament during warmups at Honda Center on Monday night for a preseason game against Arizona.
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Seth Jones will be sidelined four to six weeks with a knee injury. The team says the 23-year-old Jones sprained his knee during the second period of Tuesday night's preseason game against Buffalo. An MRI on Wednesday revealed the sprain.
Toronto made the announcement before Wednesday's game against Houston. The 56-year-old has one season left in a two-year extension he received in April 2017. Gibbons is 791-787 in 11 seasons during two stints managing Toronto, his 1,578 games second only to Cito Gaston's 1,764. Gibbons also trails Gaston (913) in career wins with Toronto.
Gibbons replaced Carlos Tosca in August 2004, was fired in June 2008 and returned ahead of the 2013 season.
Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson has a partially torn ligament in his left hand and it's unclear if he will be available in the postseason for the NL East champions.
Swanson traveled from New York to Atlanta to get his wrist and hand examined by team doctors. He will undergo treatment while missing the rest of the regular season, which ends Sunday.
Todd Bowles was clearly angry, even if his voice never rose above its usual low tone.
The normally stoic New York Jets coach vehemently denied a published report saying that he was stripping defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers of some play-calling duties.
"(It's) 100 percent false," Bowles said Wednesday. "Completely a lie. If somebody said it, it didn't come out of my mouth."
The New York Daily News reported Tuesday that Bowles , according to sources, would call the defensive plays when the Jets face two-minute and hurry-up situations. Bowles is a former NFL defensive coordinator who is also close friends with Rodgers.
The Los Angeles Rams have placed cornerback Aqib Talib on injured reserve, sidelining the veteran until at least Thanksgiving. Talib will have surgery on his ankle Thursday after getting hurt during the Rams' (3-0) victory over the Chargers. Marcus Peters, Talib's fellow former Pro Bowl cornerback, also injured his calf, but isn't expected to miss as much time.

"Fascism did not rise in the 1930's because it was strong, but because democracy was weak!" These are the recent words of a political strategist in a news interview following the US elections. This declaration stopped me in my tracks.
I have the good fortune to live in relatively stable and prosperous democracy, Australia. I have also lived and worked in countries taking their first steps into democracy. In Yemen, l watched their precarious first, UN-supervised democratic election. In Tanzania, I listened to Julius Nyerere, father of unified Tanzania, make an impassioned plea to his people to act peacefully during the turmoil of Tanzania's very first multiparty elections.
My life's work as an intercultural educator has been built on the democratic principle of "better together than apart", of finding ways to leverage and bridge differences, of responding to difference as a potent resource rather than a source of fear.
The political strategist's statement about democracy has me reflecting on the rich range of tools I have for participating in my democracy. It has me realising the tools I have at the ready to understand the position of "the other" who represents different thinking. And there is no shortage of that!
I have been using Cultural Detective© as a primary training tool since 2003. I use it with my clients from Mumbai, India, to Wellington, New Zealand; from Singapore to Melbourne, Australia. It does not mean that I try to shoehorn it into every design I create, however, it is a reliable go-to resource. It's a favourite tool in my toolbox, applicable in very diverse situations where training, facilitation, or coaching is concerned.
Who is doing and saying what here?
Assuming they have a reason to respond in this way, what might that be?
In what ways can we bridge this difference, this divide, and then take appropriate action?
Cultural Detective is a well-tested tool for taking effective action in these mutable, turbulent times.
These three questions at the heart of the Cultural Detective Method were taken up by two client organizations who joined together recently in Adelaide, South Australia, for a two-and-a-half-day Cultural Detective Facilitator Certification course. The workshop was hosted by Multicultural Aged Care, a group that has long been actively engaged in building intercultural competence for the aged-care workforce, and Scope Global, managers of international development and educational programs throughout Asia and the Pacific. Click on any photo to enlarge it or view a slideshow.
I reach for Cultural Detective with confidence. It's safe. It works alongside other tools. It gives me a deliberate approach and process to understanding different viewpoints. It enables participation and the inclusive practice of democracy in our teams, in our organisations, and in our communities.
It continues to have my participatory vote and that of my clients.

Philosophical Legacies: Essays on the Thought of Kant, Hegel, and Their Contemporaries
Daniel O. Dahlstrom, Philosophical Legacies: Essays on the Thought of Kant, Hegel, and Their Contemporaries, Catholic University of America Press, 2008, 267pp., $64.95 (hbk), ISBN 9780813215211.
Reviewed by James R. Walker, Union College
a legacy occupies a nether region, defined by neither the sheer presence nor the sheer absence of the authority in question. Different from past and present, it can neither be defined in terms of past or present alone nor be defined without them. Something comparable applies to efforts to determine a legacy, attempts to relate the present -- itself a moving target -- to a past that is untouchable. (p. 228)
§1. Introductory Remarks
Philosophical Legacies is a collection of essays by Daniel Dahlstrom focusing on the legacies of Kant, Hegel, and some of the more important, yet less heralded, figures serving to connect, and also extend, the thought of these two canonical titans. Indeed, Dahlstrom's insightful treatment of these less heralded figures alone would serve to recommend this collection, especially his treatments of F. H. Jacobi, J. G. Hamann, J. G. Herder, and Friedrich Schiller. Dahlstrom does a fine job of demonstrating that a full comprehension of the philosophical systems of Kant and Hegel requires an appreciation of the contributions made by these less heralded figures whose polemics and own positive philosophical theories serve to not only connect, but also lay the hermeneutical context for their more heralded idealist contemporaries. Dahlstrom also makes some fine, more direct, contributions to the scholarship on Kant and Hegel. Dahlstrom balances presenting overarching systematic notions and issues fundamental to their entire philosophical thought (e.g., essays one, seven, ten, and fifteen), and also focusing in on some of the finer details constituting those systems (e.g., see essays two and three on Kant, and essays eight, nine, and eleven on Hegel). Indeed, as I will comment more on below, his treatment of Hegel's concern with the problem of the objectivity of thought in the seventh essay is quite insightful and serves to correct many a common error interpreters have made on this extremely thorny issue. Quite simply put, with this collection Dahlstrom has provided a must-read for anyone truly interested in understanding the extremely rich and fertile philosophical period in German philosophy that begins with Kant and runs through Hegel.
Yet there is much more to Dahlstrom's work then pure historical exegesis. He not only presents a faithful historical rendering of the thought of those figures he deals with, but he does so in a manner that forces the reader into philosophical engagement with those historical figures. As Dahlstrom indicates in the above quote, the very attempt to determine a philosophical legacy requires one to bring one's own contemporary philosophical concerns and notions to the exegetical table. This allows us, as contemporary philosophers, to engage the historical figure in philosophical dialogue on those very issues that matter most to us as philosophers. Here historical scholarship meets an active pursuit of philosophical insight, and Dahlstrom masterfully balances the two without succumbing to anachronism.
It is in the spirit of such critical engagement that I wish to comment on Dahlstrom's work. In what follows I will attempt to unravel an alternative theme that can be plumbed from looking at the legacy of this extremely rich and fertile period in the history of Western thought. In doing so I do not so much reject any element of Dahlstrom's interpretation. Rather I wish to cast certain elements and figures within in it in a different light. In other words, I will present what I take to be a central element of that legacy bequeathed to us by the central figures in this tradition that Dahlstrom fails to emphasize. In particular, I will look at the fundamental concern with the objectivity of normative schemes that lies at the very basis of Hegel's scientific system of philosophy and suggest a reading of Hegel that draws out a fundamentally pragmatic approach to dealing with this issue. Thus, I will take as my point of departure that at which Dahlstrom concludes his fine historical study: the legacy of Hegel.
§2. Dahlstrom's Interpretation of Hegel's Legacy
In the final essay of the collection Dahlstrom turns to a consideration of the Hegelian legacy. His ultimate concern is to address, in connection with similar concerns in Derrida, the rather oblique issue of the extent to which that legacy can even be thrown into question given the positive role Hegel assigns to the notion of negation in his own thought. Indeed, Dahlstrom concludes that "the questionability of putting Hegel's discourse in question remains its legacy" (p. 242). My more limited concern is an evaluation of Dahlstrom's more basic presentation of the core elements constituting Hegel's philosophical legacy (that legacy which we are then to concern ourselves with the questionability of). In dealing with this issue, I, like Dahlstrom, will limit myself to this legacy as it relates to certain methodological and overarching systematic elements in Hegel's thought.
Dahlstrom identifies four fundamental legacies in Hegel's conception of philosophy (pp. 232-41). The first of these is a "legacy of suspicion," which essentially consists in a radicalizing of the critical spirit definitive of the Enlightenment. Here he emphasizes Hegel's rejection of immediacy in all of its possible manifestations. Following through on this rejection of immediacy and carrying it to its most radical conclusion brings us into the second central Hegelian legacy, "a legacy of mediation." The emphasis here is primarily on how Hegel's rejection of immediacy becomes reflexive in the sense of applying to the very notion of mediation itself. Dahlstrom presents this notoriously opaque, yet certainly fundamental, Hegelian notion by emphasizing Hegel's conception of both thought and reality as sharing a dynamic and holistic character which not only unifies, but at the same time preserves the diversity of its various moments and elements.
Dahlstrom goes on to discuss the other two Hegelian legacies, a "legacy of decentering finite subjectivity" and a "legacy of negation." The former focuses on the extent to which Hegel, despite the central role of the subject in his conception of the absolute, attempts to overcome any sort of subjectivism through the development of an infinite, absolute subject. The legacy of negation gives us a glimpse of Hegel's characteristic methodological insistence upon the positive results to be culled from any sense of negation, or rejection, of earlier moments in his assent to absolute science.
My concern here is not so much with the specifics of these elements -- I leave that to the reader. It is rather to suggest that Dahlstrom here neglects an extremely fundamental Hegelian legacy. Indeed, one could argue -- though I haven't the space to do so -- that this neglected legacy serves to provide a systematic unity to the four Dahlstrom elaborates. I will argue that quite central to Hegel's overall meta-philosophical thought is the recognition that any truly scientific manner of philosophizing must be capable of addressing the issue of the authority of our fundamental cognitive norms. As I will discuss below, there are moments in Dahlstrom's discussion of Hegel's attempt to deal with the problem of the objectivity of thought in his seventh essay when he does come very close to the idea I here have in mind. In particular, his emphasis on Hegel's concern with determining "rules of thinking," and his concordant rejection of "a conception of truth as a correspondence between forms of thought and some material allegedly given in a way ultimately beyond or inaccessible to the realm of thought," brings to the fore this crucial, normative, dimension in Hegel's thought (p. 106). Yet still, something is lacking in Dahlstrom's manner of dealing with this issue. As I will argue below, in Hegel's mind adequately addressing this normative issue requires moving beyond the overly theoretical perspective on the problem of the objectivity of thought characteristic of the Enlightenment in favor of a more pragmatic one. Grasping the true significance of this shift requires seeing how it emerged in the polemical assaults upon the critical philosophy by F. H. Jacobi and J. G. Hamann.
§3. Jacobi, Kant, and the Problem of the Objectivity of Thought
In the fourth essay of the collection, Dahlstrom turns to consider the polemical exchange between Kant and F. H. Jacobi. Of Dahlstrom's many important contributions throughout this collection, this piece (as well as the one following on the aesthetic holism of Hamann, Herder, and Schiller) may be the most impressive. Dahlstrom's treatment of Jacobi and Hamann presents their respective philosophies as not only influential for the subsequent post-Kantian idealists, but also as possessing a unique admirable, and quite sophisticated, philosophical complexity. Dahlstrom takes issue with the quite common superficial view of Jacobi as no more than an occasionally insightful polemicist whose own positive contributions amount to little more than an irrational fideism intended to extricate us from the nihilism resulting from taking the Enlightenment faith in reason to its logical, and inevitable, conclusions. Instead, he emphasizes the manner in which Jacobi attempted to develop his own alternative conception of rationality. As Dahlstrom presents it, this conception was based upon Jacobi's insistence that in place of the traditional Enlightenment conception of reason we must come to recognize an alternative conception that properly recognizes the true historical and practical character of rationality. These notions would come to have a significant positive influence upon the post-Kantian idealists and their contemporaries as they developed accounts of rationality with substantial historicist and practical components. Indeed, in Dahlstrom's fine portrait of Jacobi, we can begin to see more clearly why it is that Hegel himself spent so much effort and time in considering the thought of Jacobi in the very process of coming to formulate his own mature philosophical system.
Nonetheless, Dahlstrom neglects a crucial aspect of Jacobi's thought concerning the nature of reason, one which is equally responsible for his legacy in the eyes of the post-Kantian idealists. This is the fact that although beginning to lay the groundwork for a transition away from the Enlightenment conception of reason and cognition, he was ultimately unable to fully break away from its fundamental theoretical orientation. Although beginning to give voice to a distinctively practical conception of rationality, Jacobi was never able to fully divorce his views from those of his Enlightenment rivals to the same radical extent that would come to characterize post-Kantian German thought for the next century. His failure was due to his commitment to certain Enlightenment prejudices that he never did come to fully question. In fact, Hamann, rather than Jacobi, first securely laid the true foundation of the movement towards an alternative, more practically grounded philosophical orientation which would be extended and radicalized by Fichte and Hegel in their grand idealistic systems.
Jacobi's continued Enlightenment prejudice is most clearly seen in his adherence to a characteristically early modern conception of the problem of the objectivity of thought. For the early moderns, this problem of the objectivity of thought was an attempting to determine the extent to which the cognitive subject's internal, subjective, representations "mapped onto" some transcendent reality. Even for an idealist like Berkeley, avoiding subjectivism, and thus grounding the objectivity of cognition, required anchoring our subjective, cognitive sphere of representations to the transcendent realm of divine ideas. Jacobi, although highly critical of certain features of the Enlightenment's conception of reason, never turns a critical eye upon this preconception of what is required to objectively ground cognition. This is why his central polemic against Kant fixes its sights upon Kant's inability to consistently maintain the notion of the thing in itself. For, indeed, it is the thing in itself that serves as the transcendent ground of the contents of our cognitive representations in the Kantian system. Later, in Jacobi's charge of nihilism against Fichte, it is, once again, this Enlightenment presupposition that objectivity requires transcendence that does much of the heavy lifting.
But Kant is no mere Enlightenment thinker. Indeed, it is in Kant that an alternative, post-Enlightenment notion of the problem of objectivity of thought begins to surface. Granted Kant can be seen as using the thing in itself as the transcendent ground of the objectivity of the content of our cognitive representations, and, to that extent, his can be viewed as a fundamentally Enlightenment conception of the problem of objectivity. Yet this is not what constitutes the true essence of Kant's transcendental idealism, what truly contributes to his role as precursor to the post-Enlightenment thought of the German idealists. That essence, as Hegel clearly recognized, is most adequately expressed in his transcendental deduction of the categories. For it is in the transcendental deduction that Kant comes to provide his most explicit reformulation of the problem of objectivity, casting it in a radically different guise. The problem of objectivity here begins to take on two elements which represent a move beyond that of the Enlightenment. First, Kant came to see the problem of objectivity as fundamentally a normative problem. It was a problem concerning the authority of our cognitive norms or rules, which constitute our categorical cognitive schemes. Secondly, Kant came to recognize that the objective ground for such cognitive norms or categorical schemes mustn't rest in some realm transcending cognition itself, but rather must be in some manner or another within cognition. In other words, objectivity must be given an immanent grounding. In this sense, Kant attempts to demonstrate that the formal conditions of cognition have a normative objectivity deriving from the very nature of reason itself and thus not dependent on any transcendent ground whatsoever.
Now although Jacobi appears to have been blind to this insight in Kant's critical philosophy, J. G. Hamann was not. Dahlstrom's presentation of Hamann is truly commendable, and ought to be read by anyone wishing to understand not only this highly enigmatic figure, but also the post-Kantian idealists themselves. Nonetheless, he doesn't adequately bring this crucial insight and contribution of Hamann to light. Though, in all fairness to Dahlstrom, his concerns with Hamann are in a slightly different context since he is concerned primarily with Hamann's contribution to the legacy of aesthetic holism. Nonetheless, the sense in which Hamann's polemic against Kant represents a marked improvement over that of Jacobi's provides a crucial context for comprehending other topics that do fall under direct consideration in later essays of Dahlstrom's study so ought not to be neglected. In particular, fully understanding Hegel's skeptical concerns requires seeing how it is that Hegel was drawing upon Hamann's meta-critical attack upon Kant's attempt to establish the objectivity of our cognitive norms without appealing to any transcendent ground. As Hegel came to see it, "Hamann places himself in the middle of the problem of reason and presents its solution."[1] I now turn to a brief discussion of the sense in which Hamann accomplishes this in his polemic against Kant.
§4. Hamann's Meta-Critical Legacy
As Dahlstrom points out in his fifth essay, J. G. Hamann, along with J. G. Herder and Friedrich Schiller, stood at the head of the holistic legacy characteristic of one wing of the German "counter-Enlightenment" (p. 67). As he puts it, these three were "dedicated to the premise that the genuine meanings of things derive from their interactive functions in a dynamic, self-determining whole, albeit one that humans succeed in grasping merely in a fragmentary way" (p. 67). The import of this holistic conception ought to be evident to anyone with even a passing interest in the post-Kantian idealists, and Dahlstrom does a great job in drawing out the root of this conception in figures too often neglected in the Anglophone historical canon. Dahlstrom does a wonderful job demonstrating the positive influence Hamann had on the idealists and, as in his commendable presentation of Jacobi, presents Hamann as a positive philosopher of considerable depth in his own right.
Yet, it is here that Dahlstrom seems to miss the emergence of an element that is crucial to appreciating the core of the Hegelian legacy. This has to do with Hamann's "meta-critical" legacy, which ultimately served to present to Hegel the fundamental problem that his Phenomenology of Spirit was intended to address. Furthermore, it is also in this feature of Hamann's thought that Hegel was to see a key methodological tool which he would then put to considerable, positive philosophical use. Hence, Hegel's veneration of Hamann in the above quote as not only placing himself "in the middle of the problem of reason," but also, "presenting its solution."
The holistic character of Hamann's thought elucidated by Dahlstrom indeed does inform his critical stance in relation to Kant's first Critique in his polemical piece, Meta-Critique of the Critique of the Purism of Reason. For here, as Dahlstrom notes, Hamann rejects Kant's presupposed notion of a universal reason divorced from its concrete manifestation in cognitive agents within their given social and historical contexts. In essence, Hamann sees himself as playing Aristotle to Kant's Plato. Though what is most significant about Hamann's polemic can be located in two interrelated points of emphasis. Furthermore, it is in these two points that Hamann's polemic is decidedly more insightful than that of Jacobi. First, rather than focusing on the capacity of our first-order cognitive representations to be anchored to some transcendent source of objectivity, Hamann turns his critical gaze upon the second-order normative principles presupposed by, and taken as authoritative for, our first-order critical endeavors. In this sense, as Reinhold was to recognize, Hamann's meta-critical concern raised the very problem of the possibility of a science of knowledge, of epistemology itself. Hamann's meta-critical demand, albeit rather obliquely stated, was a call to determine the extent to which our second-order epistemological principles could themselves be rationally established.
The second crucial merit of Hamann's polemic is that he clearly saw that this second-order meta-critical issue was one concerning epistemic norms or rules. He recognized that Kant was attempting to deal with the issue of cognitive objectivity, at least in relation to the formal structure of cognition, by finding an immanent source of normative authority. It is here that Hamann goes after Kant, arguing that his attempt to find an objective source for these cognitive norms is ultimately rooted in an illegitimate 'purification' of reason. In keeping with his holism, Hamann rejects any such attempt to "purify," and thus, in essence, reify, reason by abstracting it from its embodiment in concrete cognitive agents. This also leads him to provide a negative answer to the above stated meta-critical demand. Hamann denies that a rational grounding for the objectivity of our epistemological principles can be found.
As I will point out below, it is this meta-critical problem that forms the fundamental concern of Hegel in the Phenomenology of Spirit, and which must be taken into account in attempting to make sense of his approach to the interrelated problems of skepticism and knowledge. Before moving to that, it is important to note again, that Hegel not only saw Hamann as providing the fundamental problem he was to address but also the most basic element of its very solution. For as Hegel saw it, Hamann's insistence upon viewing reason, or cognition, in its instantiation in concrete cognitive agents was to provide the very foundation of his attempt to determine an immanent source of objectivity for our cognitive norms.
§5. Hegel on Skepticism, the Problem of Objectivity: A Legacy of Normative Pragmatism
In this concluding section I will sketch some basic points that constitute a fundamental Hegelian legacy that I believe is lacking in Dahlstrom's analysis. Following in Hamann's footsteps, Hegel came to see the fundamental epistemological issue that must be addressed as a meta-critical one concerning the ability to justify our cognitive norms themselves. Here Hegel begins to move beyond the early modern conception of the problem of the objectivity of thought. For Hegel, the fundamental problem is not one of our ability to determine the extent to which our cognitive representations map onto some transcendent realm of truths. Instead the issue is the authority of our cognitive norms. Why am I as a cognitive agent bound to these laws of thought? What authority do they have, and what is its source? Hegel saw that this issue could not be grounded on some reference to a realm of transcendent facts or things-in-themselves, but rather was must be dealt with immanently by focusing on the relation between agents and the norms these agents come to manifest in their cognitive activities.[2] In attempting to address the problem of the objectivity of thought at this normative level, Hegel came to develop certain fundamentally pragmatic elements in his thought. I will attempt to get to the heart of this legacy by making three basic points concerning the project and methodology of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit.
1. Hegel's recognition of the meta-critical issue and its normative significance. The first crucial feature of what I am calling Hegel's legacy of normative pragmatics is his recognition of the essential normative import of Hamann's meta-critical challenge. Hegel clearly saw that the fundamental issue that must be dealt with prior to engaging in the sort of critical endeavors aspired to by Kant was that of the authority of our second-order epistemic norms. Kant himself was well aware of this. But if indeed Hamann was correct, Kant failed to appreciate the depth of the problem, the true essence of which brings to the fore the very question of the possibility of epistemology itself. It is at this level that we encounter Hegel's fundamental confrontation with skepticism.
The skeptical challenge that is of fundamental concern for Hegel in the Phenomenology is a second-order meta-critical skepticism that arises out of a clear understanding of the true import of Sextus Empiricus' problem of the criterion. This second-order skepticism fixates its skeptical tropes upon the very possibility of justifying our second-order critical principles, or cognitive norms, themselves.[3] While Dahlstrom at times seems to recognize the second-order nature of this skepticism, there are points where he seems to fail to grasp its import and ends up blurring the distinction between this meta-critical skepticism and the sort of first-order veil of perception skepticism that Hegel sees his approach to the problem of knowledge as rendering wholly inconsequential. This is a crucial distinction that must be clearly grasped in order to understand the sense in which Hegel is, in fact, attempting to provide an epistemology in the Phenomenology of Spirit. It is Hegel's engagement with skepticism at the second-order level, rather than at the first-order level, that paves the way for his radical revision to the very nature of epistemology itself.
2. Hegel's practical shift: from theory of knowledge to the critique of cognitive practices. Hegel also seems to have picked up from Hamann the notion that any success in meeting the meta-critical challenge hinges on an ability to move beyond a view of epistemology as a theoretical inquiry into the 'truth' of cognition. Seeing epistemology as an attempt to discover the 'true' nature of cognition itself, or some inquiry into the essential nature of 'pure reason', simply thrusts us headlong into the problem of the criterion, for it presupposes the very sorts of critical principles that we are hereby calling into question.
Hegel thus argues that any possibility of overcoming the sort of meta-critical skeptical concerns that a radical commitment to the very ideals of the critical philosophy entails recognizes that epistemology itself must proceed as a practical inquiry that attempts to evaluate not some thing (or some reified cognitive entity) but rather the practices of cognitive agents embedded within the world. The essential meta-critical question is thus one concerning the rules by which these practices are carried out. Why ought a cognitive agent come to adopt some such set of normative commitments over any other? From where do these cognitive norms derive their authority to govern the practices of a cognitive agent?[4] Hegel thus moves epistemology closer to contemporary practical normative theory than to standard contemporary epistemological debates, for Hegel's primary concern is that of the source of normativity itself in relation to distinctively practical endeavors of agents. The key question that then arises for Hegel is how to conduct any such practical evaluation of our rules of cognitive practice in a manner that both allows for some such set of norms to be objectively validated, yet does so without making an illegitimate appeal to some transcendent ground of that validity. This, in a nutshell, is Hegel's construal of the problem of the objectivity of thought.
3. Hegel's meta-epistemological methodology and normative pragmatism. In discussing the meta-epistemological methodology Hegel devises to deal with the normative, practical construal of the problem of the objectivity of thought, I will be exceedingly brief, hoping to simply sketch the fundamental pragmatic element within that methodology. Hegel argues that in order to evaluate a set of cognitive norms we must attempt to know the world according to those norms. The adequacy of these attempts to know are grounded in their capacity for allowing the cognitive agent to successfully accomplish the very cognitive projects that agent takes as constitutive of his first-order epistemic endeavors. Such projects, together with the norms manifested by the agent possessing them, are constitutive of a form of consciousness. For Hegel, the adequacy of our cognitive norms to 'get their work done' stands as the criterion by which these norms are to be evaluated. In essence, this moves Hegel's epistemology away from what could be termed a cognitive model of epistemology towards an alternative model that takes certain conative features of the cognitive agent to possess a certain fundamental primacy in the process of determining the objective validity of epistemic norms. What counts as knowing for Hegel depends upon the conative drives of the cognitive agent -- viz., the projects and tasks that the cognitive agents takes as its nature to accomplish. The issue of the objectivity of our cognitive norms then comes down to an attempt to establish an objectively valid conatus of consciousness. Indeed, it is this project that is central in the Phenomenology's attempt to deal with the problem of the objectivity of thought and which, for Hegel, ultimately gets solved through his interpretation of the early romantic notion of Bildung as the summum bonum of an individual agent.
The key point for now though is to recognize that, for Hegel, this notion of dealing with the problem of the objectivity of thought contains the fundamentally pragmatic move of evaluating normative structures in terms of their appropriateness for certain tasks or projects and thus placing a primary emphasis on certain conative elements in his epistemology. It is this pragmatic legacy which seems lacking in Dahlstrom's otherwise stellar construal of the Hegelian legacy. Again, in his seventh essay, Dahlstrom brings us to the very brink of this issue in his discussion of Hegel's concern with the problem of the objectivity of thought. He sees that Hegel was moving beyond a distinctively early modern conception of the problem in his rejection of any analysis that sees the objectivity of our thoughts as resting upon their correspondence with some realm of facts beyond consciousness. Furthermore, he also sees Hegel's alternative construal of this problem as involving a determination of the proper 'rules of thought,' or the proper interrelations and principles constitutive of the cognitive agent's complex normative schema. Nonetheless, Dahlstrom appears to miss how this ultimately drives Hegel towards a distinctively pragmatic conception of the objective validity of these normative structures.
In closing, I would simply like to reinforce that the collection of essays Dahlstrom gives us is top rate. It not only advances historical scholarship on Kant, Hegel, and the other figures discussed -- primarily, Jacobi, Hamann, Herder, and Schiller -- but it does so in a way that forces the reader to engage in philosophical dialogue with these figures. It is in this spirit that I have tried to engage with this fine collection.
[1] Hegel, The Writings of Hamann, p. 36 (translated by Lisa Marie Anderson in Hegel on Hamann (Northwestern University Press. Evanston, 2008)).
[2] Among recent Hegel commentators Terry Pinkard seems to most clearly discern this element in Hegel. Robert Pippin also does a very nice job of drawing out these sorts of normative concerns in Hegel.
[3] On the problem of the criterion in Hegel see the various works by Kenneth Westphal. Westphal clearly sees the role that the problem of the criterion plays in motivating Hegel, but fails to appreciate where this drives him -- namely, away from the early modern conception of the very nature of the problem of knowledge, or the problem of the objectivity of thought.
[4] Terry Pinkard does an excellent job of drawing out Hegel's concern with these normative issues.

A look at the work of High Lane animal artist Paul Tavernor
Paul and his dog Tala
Paul Tavernor from High Lane kept the wolf from the door with mundane jobs, now he's much in demand as an artist
Capturing the beauty of animals in the wild has won artist Paul Tavernor a worldwide following among collectors.
Clearly his fans are drawn to his powerfully delineated images. A deer majestically stares out of the frame at the onlooker, the wily old fox strides purposefully towards its prey, a sinewy hare leaps up into view and the lithe form of wolves prowl the canvas. Paul has taken the animal kingdom as his inspiration and the results are breathtaking.
It certainly is no mean feat for a self-taught artist, who after being born in Ashton-under-Lyne, has spent most of his life in Cheshire.
Ive had no training at all, Im entirely self-taught and I consider that to be a bit of luck as I have not fallen into any stereotype a tricky thing to do because everything has been done before in this day and age, explains Paul who lives and paints in High Lane village.
I think it is one of my greatest achievements really.
I was always interested in wildlife, even as a child and I loved animals, so what I tried to do was capture a frozen moment of a secretive and wild creature. I wanted to fix that animal in time.
One of his favourite subjects of the animal kingdom is wolves, which he paints with complete sensitivity, so the creatures are both wildly beautiful and at the same time slightly threatening in their power. Hes never gone out to hunt down a pack but says he has his very own wolf at home.
Shes called Tala and shes a Native American dog and descended from the wolf, he says.
I dont draw her but if I want to create a certain look in the eye or need to check on some physical detail, then I will use her for reference.
As an award-winning full-time professional artist Paul can look back and admit that even when he was forced to make a living in mundane jobs, he still worked on commissions for some of his clients.
Now, having been runner-up as the UKs Best Selling Artist by the Fine Art Trade Guild for three consecutive years, alongside household names like Rolf Harris and having gained a national publisher and being well-known in galleries throughout the UK, he pretty much pleases himself about his subjects, the animals he loves.
Paul, who lives with his wife, Samantha and daughters Rainey, six ,and Aster, aged three, paints his subjects in his studio at the bottom of the garden. Although these creatures are based on real animals and technically superb, they are very much the product of his imagination.
I just want that atmospheric and secretive type of look - that really does inspire me, he enthuses.
And Ive got another inspiration a big inspiration of mine. Im a huge fan of JMW Turner, in particular one painting called Rain, Steam and Speed. Its the image of the first locomotive over Brunels bridge in Maidenhead. It was seeing that for the first time, that key thing in my life that set me on to doing animals in movement. That always stayed in my head through every single painting that I do.
Another influence is of course Cheshire itself, where Paul roams for inspiration.
He adds: Many people dont see that Cheshire has countryside and yet it is one of the greenest places in the UK. They call it leafy Cheshire and it really is. If you go off and explore the side roads youll find theres so much countryside around.
Paul has garnered a loyal following over the years and has some famous clients, though hes not saying who. Because his work is an oil on canvas medium they are all priced between 300 and 5,000, rather affordable for original art.
Fans of his work can find out what hes been doing via the Leaping Fox gallery at www.paultavernor.co.uk
He is also a regular exhibitor and main prize winner at the National Exhibition of Wildlife Art. He has won several other national accolades, including a Mail on Sunday award. He plans in 2013 to exhibit more often, bringing his work to an even wider audience.

Articolo pubblicato su Rivista
Thyroid hormone 3,5,3'-triiodo-l-thyronine (T3) is known to affect cell metabolism through both the genomic and non-genomic actions. Recently, we demonstrated in HepG2 cells that T3 controls the expression of SREBP-1, a transcription factor involved in the regulation of lipogenic genes. This occurs by activation of a cap-independent translation mechanism of its mRNA. Such a process is dependent on non-genomic activation of both MAPK/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways. The physiological role of 3,5-diiodo-l-thyronine (T2), previously considered only as a T3 catabolite, is of growing interest. Evidences have been reported that T2 rapidly affects some metabolic pathways through non-genomic mechanisms. Here, we show that T2, unlike T3, determines the block of proteolytic cleavage of SREBP-1 in HepG2 cells, without affecting its expression at the transcriptional or translational level. Consequently, Fatty Acid Synthase expression is reduced. T2 effects depend on the concurrent activation of MAPKs ERK and p38, of Akt and PKC-delta pathways. Upon the activation of these signals, apoptosis of HepG2 cells seems to occur, starting at 12h of T2 treatment. PKC-delta appears to act as a switch between p38 activation and Akt suppression, suggesting that this PKC may function as a controller in the balance of pro-apoptotic (p38) and anti-apoptotic (Akt) signals in HepG2 cells.
3,5-Diiodo-l-thyronine induces SREBP-1 proteolytic cleavage block and apoptosis in human hepatoma (Hepg2) cells.

Submitting Institution: Manchester Metropolitan University
Angels of Anarchy: Women Artists and Surrealism
The case study discusses the impact of Dr Patricia Allmer's major exhibition and catalogue project Angels of Anarchy: Women Artists and Surrealism held at Manchester Art Gallery between September 2009 and January 2010. The exhibition had a significant social, cultural and economic impact attracting over 9,600 visitors and winning awards for being Manchester's "tourism experience of the year" (described as "one of the most successful cultural tourist campaigns that Manchester has ever run" by Renaissance Northwest). A full programme of events ran alongside the exhibition including schools' workshops, short courses, cinema screenings and the development of a significant online resource all of which has contributed to a re-examination of the place of women artists in the Surrealist canon.
History and Archaeology: Curatorial and Related Studies, Historical Studies
Asia Triennial Manchester (ATM)
This case study discusses the impact of the research that contributed to Asia Triennial Manchester (ATM) in 2008 and 2011. The ATM is the only Asian Arts Festival in Europe with a focus on new work. It attracts established audiences for art as well as those not normally engaged with culture through exhibits in nationally important venues and in locations with low levels of cultural engagement. ATM has established new cultural partnerships and knowledge exchange that has affected gallery programming and curatorial knowledge and ensured demonstrable impact. Over 364,000 people attended events at ATM08 and 11 generating £12m in economic activity across the Northwest. The ATM's directly engaged 1500 artists in the production of 58 entirely new productions.
Biomechanics Support for Great Britain Para-Swimming and the International Paralympic Committee.
Research into the biomechanics of elite swimmers with a disability undertaken by Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) has contributed directly to the development of Para-swimming both nationally and internationally. Firstly, it has made a significant and sustained contribution to the development of British Para-swimmers and their coaches, leading to outstanding performances by British swimmers at major International competitions including, most notably, the Beijing 2008 Paralympics, the IPC World Swimming Championships, 2010 and the London 2012 Paralympics. Secondly, In 2009 the IPC mandated the development of new, evidence-based classification systems for Paralympic sports and, in 2010, announced its intention to use the research findings from MMU to help devise a new classification system for Para-swimming.
Medical and Health Sciences: Human Movement and Sports Science, Neurosciences
Changing Early Childhood Education: Policy, Practice and Perceptions
This case study describes the impact of a sustained programme of research conducted over more than 10 years, which has changed conceptualisations of young children's abilities and needs, and shaped national and local provision from birth to five. The research has influenced early years policy, secondary legislation, professional standards and training, curriculum, and the daily experiences of babies, children and practitioners in every childcare setting in England. It has produced innovative resources to enhance multi-professional practice, and significantly contributed to the deployment of high-quality, interdisciplinary research findings to improve provision, stimulate debate and challenge conventional wisdom about children and childhood.
Education: Curriculum and Pedagogy, Specialist Studies In Education
Changing policy and practice in the use of educational technology in schools – informing national and international policy
This case study reports impact derived from a sustained programme of research extending over 15 years. The research has impacted policy makers, practitioners, young people and their families both in the UK and internationally through:
informing the development of the Harnessing Technology Strategy (the UK government strategy for ICT in education from 2005-2010) leading to the Home Access Initiative (2009-2010) which improved educational attainment and lifetime earning potential for the beneficiaries, and driving the uptake of learning platforms and web 2.0 technologies for supporting teaching and learning;
evidencing the impact of ICT on attainment (eg the current UK government, UNESCO);
underpinning European policies on the use of interactive whiteboards to support teaching and learning (eg for the OECD).
Combating Caste Discrimination in the UK: Changing British Equality Law.
Annapurna Waughray is the first legal scholar to examine the capacity of British equality law to address discrimination based on caste. In 2009, Waughray identified the limitations of existing discrimination law for capturing caste as a form of discrimination. Her work contends that existing religious discrimination and race discrimination provisions are inadequate to fully cover caste discrimination, and that if caste discrimination is to be legally regulated in Britain, an explicit statutory prohibition should be introduced. Waughray's work has directly informed governmental, parliamentary, academic, practitioner, UN and NGO understandings of the capacity of British equality law to cover caste discrimination.
Crafting the Contemporary: Enhancing the sustainability of traditional craft practices in India.
This case study describes the impact of a ten-year programme of research, which has influenced attitudes to traditional crafts and cultural heritage in India, and created an ethical model of sustainable crafts practice, leading to economic and social benefits. Research has underpinned the creation of the Ahmedabad International Arts Festival (AIAF) that started in 2009 and with MMU's contribution has now grown into a major, multi-stranded international festival.
MMU researchers have worked with museums and cultural organisations in the UK and India to develop ways of engaging new audiences, widening the reach of craft-based practices and thereby creating cultural impact. The project has also drawn attention to an endangered area of Ahmedabad, and assisted in developing a plan for conserving cultural heritage there.

Enhancing the lives of people with severe and complex disabilities
This case study describes the impact of 15 years of research on the health and well-being of people with severe and complex disabilities. Through collaboration with education and disability services, research-based guidance has been developed on communication intervention and safe eating and drinking, informing:
National Patient Safety Agency's Guidance Paper on dysphagia.
Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists' (RCSLT) position paper on Adults with Learning Disabilities (2010).
RCSLT's professional guidelines: Communicating Quality 3 (2006).
Department for Education's training materials for teachers of learners with severe, profound and complex learning difficulties (http://www.education.gov.uk/complexneeds/).

European and Global LGBT Rights: Changing Legal and Professional Practice.
Interdisciplinary research at Manchester Metropolitan University on transgender law, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) politics, polyamory, and bisexuality has had a direct role in transforming legal and professional practice, and in improving the treatment of LGBT people within Europe and globally. Specifically, this research has advanced health care, public policy, and the legal status of transgender people throughout Europe and worldwide through research with activist, national and supra-national governmental bodies. Research with LGBT/polyamory communities has benefitted physicians, activists and artists in the LGBT rights struggles in the UK, and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
Evidence Informed Medicine - placing intellectual and moral virtue at the centre of clinical decision-making
Loughlin's research criticises the drive towards impersonal decision-making procedures across a range of professional practices, aiming to revive approaches placing the cultivation of the virtues, of sound judgement, at the centre of all practical discussion. It has empowered opponents of formalism in management and policy, and scientism in medical practice. This case study concerns Loughlin's identification of the limitations of Evidenced-Based Medicine (EBM), and development of an alternative, evidence-informed approach. Loughlin has communicated his research beyond a narrow academic audience, to a wide range of professional groups, triggering a growing recognition of the need for a humanist, person-centred alternative to EBM. Practitioners and patients alike benefit from the requirement to frame all debates about good practice with reference to the understanding that the parties to the clinical encounter are persons.
