Animals and the Expanding Moral Circle
2017This chapter considers the hypothesis that our treatment of animals is best accounted for by an “expanding moral circle.” This hypothesis is examined by looking at changes in attitudes to animals historically and across cultures. Different conceptions and formulations of this hypothesis are considered, in order to achieve greater clarity on the ...

Abstract Only from the 18th century was the idea of fair play applied to the duties of decency which powerful people owed to others, an aspect of the humanitarian revolution, the revulsion against cruelty which became the guiding principle of the Enlightenment. Sociobiological theory helps explain how empathy can spread outwards from kin

On Expanding Endomorphisms of the Circle
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, 1990A problem posed by M. Shub and D. Sullivan on the classification of real Lebesgue measure-preserving endomorphisms of the circle is investigated. A new Jacobian invariant is introduced and complete measure-theoretic isomorphism invariants are given which are simultaneously measure-theoretic and topological in character.

Relational inequality theory (RIT) is summarized, and its implications for social science practice, data collection, and causal attributions are outlined. To advance equality and justice agendas RIT also implies a series of global goals including moving from tribalism to universalism, from hierarchy to citizenship rights, and from markets to human ...

Elaborating on the Expanding Circle
World Englishes, 2019AbstractWhile the Inner and Outer Circle varieties are recognized by all linguists and educationists, the status of any Expanding Circle English as a variety per se is still a subject of incessant discussions. This article, based on Russian English as a typical variety of the Expanding Circle, focuses on the reasons for misconceptions and inaccuracies.

Chapter 2 looks at the development of algorithms for estimating the value of Pi and analysing waveforms. Early estimates for Pi – the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter – were produced in Babylonia. The ancient Greek mathematian, Archimedes, produced improved estimates by means of a clever algorithm which used polygons to approximate the

The topics of discussion range from horrified exclamations at the mysterious apparition (like Horatio's ‘Look my Lord it comes!
