On Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Ideal of Natural Education

The aim of this contribution is to critically explore the understanding, the goals and the meaning of education in the philosophy of education by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In his educational novel Emile: or On Education [Emile ou De l’éducation] he depicts his account of the natural education. Rousseau argues that all humans share one and the same development process which is independent of their social background. He regards education as an active process of perfection which is curiosity-driven and intrinsic to each child. Rousseau’s educational goals are autarky, happiness and freedom

Preliminary results of the heavy-light meson spectrum using chirally improved light quarks

Using a ``wall'' of quark point sources, we invert the chirally improved Dirac operator to create an ``incoherent'' collection of quark propagators which originate from all spatial points of the source time slice. The lowest-order NRQCD approximation is used to create heavy-quark propagators from the same wall source. However, since the numerical cost involved in computing such heavy-quark propagators is low, we are able to use a number of source gauge paths to establish coherence between the heavy and light quarks at several spatial separations. The resulting collection of heavy-light meson correlators is analyzed to extract the corresponding mass spectrum.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, Lattice2004(spectrum), minor corrections adde

Energies of B_s meson excited states - a lattice study

This is a follow-up to our earlier work on the energies and radial distributions of heavy-light mesons. The heavy quark is taken to be static (infinitely heavy) and the light quark has a mass about that of the strange quark. We now concentrate on the energies of the excited states with higher angular momentum and with a radial node. A new improvement is the use of hypercubic blocking in the time direction. The calculation is carried out with dynamical fermions on a 16 cubed times 32 lattice with a lattice spacing approximately 0.1 fm generated using a non-perturbatively improved clover action. In nature the closest equivalent of this heavy-light system is the B_s meson, which allows us to compare our lattice calculations to experimental results (where available) or to give a prediction where the excited states, particularly P-wave states, should lie. We pay special attention to the spin-orbit splitting, to see which one of the states (for a given angular momentum L) has the lower energy. An attempt is made to understand these results in terms of the Dirac equation.Comment: 35 pages. v3: Data from two new lattices added. New results in several chapter

ADR in the Law Firm: A Practical Viewpoint

This comment is divided into three major sections. In Part I, the attorneys explain how ADR concepts are employed within their respective firms. Part II is advisory in nature, with the attorneys expressing their opinions and beliefs regarding how ADR should be integrated into a law firm practice. In Part III, the attorneys express some of their perceptions and viewpoints regarding ADR in general
