First published in 1992, 'The Economic Ideas of Ordinary People' discusses how we talk about our economic activities and how our talk influences our action.

While Type 1 diabetes is still predominantly a hospital-based specialty, increasing numbers of patients are being supervised in primary care. This book emphasises both the unique nature of Type 1 diabetes and its fundamental differences from Type 2 diabetes (at least in its 'classic' form), and also draws together the common threads of management - especially in the diagnosis and treatment of microvascular complications, its common coexistence with the insulin resistance syndrome, and the importance of late-onset Type 1 diabetes in older patients. This highly practical volume in the Oxford...

Eros and Socratic Political Philosophy offers a new account of Plato's view of eros, or romantic love, by focusing on a question which has vexed many scholars: why does Plato's Socrates praise eros highly on some occasions but also criticize it harshly on others? Through detailed analyses of Plato's Republic, Phaedrus, and Symposium, Levy shows how, despite the apparent tensions between Socrates' statements about eros in each dialogue, these statements supplement each other well and serve to clarify Socrates' understanding of the complex relationship between eros, religious belief, and...

Odnepaměti vzhlíželi lidé k obloze a hledali v tajemných hvězdných konstelacích svůj osud. Věřili ve spojení mezi nebem a Zemí. Astrologie, z řečtiny astron = hvězda a logos = slovo, se jakožto tradiční hermetický obor již od počátku starověkých civilizací zabývala zkoumáním předpokládaných souvislostí mezi děním na obloze, charakterizovaným zejména pohybem planet, Slunce, Měsíce a dalších prvků, a jeho vlivem na dění na Zemi.
V průběhu historie vzniklo v různých částech světa několik různých samostatných astrologických systémů a...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Love and Sex with Robots, LSR 2017, held in December 2017, in London, UK. The 12 revised papers presented together with 2 keynotes were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 83 submissions. One of the biggest challenges of the Love and Sex with Robots conference is to engage a wider scientific community in the discussions of the multifaceted topic, which has only recently established itself as an academic research topic within, but not limited to, the disciplines of artificial intelligence,...

Consider this: Robots will one day be able to write poetry and prose so touching that it will make men weep; compose dozens or even hundreds of symphonies that will rival the work of Mozart; judge a court case with absolute impartiality and fairness; or even converse with the natural ease of your best friend. Robots will one day be so life-like that a human could fall in love and marry one. Thought provoking and controversial? Certainly. Far-fetched? Not at all. David Levy presents the history of Artificial Intelligence, considers recent developments, and speculates about the future of AI. A...
