Teleology in Spinoza and Early Modern Rationalism
Oxford Scholarship Online, 2018This chapter argues that (1) Spinoza accepts the legitimacy of many teleological explanations; (2) in two important respects, Leibniz’s view of teleology is not more Aristotelian than Descartes’s; and (3) among Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz, Spinoza ...

Clinical Ethics, 2008
Triage-like procedures for solving the problems of rationing cannot work. And anyway, why should health- and medical workers carry the can for the economic and political decisions of their managers and our politicians? To foist rationing decisions onto them is a political con-trick, a deliberate attempt to deflect managerial and political ...

The Journal of Industrial Economics, 1987The concepts of 'rational conjectures' and 'reasonable conjectures' are critically reviewed.

European Journal of Political Economy, 1996
Abstract This paper investigates a simple three-good two-sector macromodel with fixed prices. In order to omit any ad hoc assumptions about the market outcomes we analyse the model as a game played by (fully) rational players. Whereas the notion of rationality underlying the concept of Nash equilibria implies a multiplicity of solutions (with ...

Internal Medicine Journal, 2002Australia’s health-care system is functioning well.Health expenditure is within reasonable bounds andis almost exactly what would be predicted from inter-national comparisons, given the size of our economy.That does not stop doomsayers from speculating that,within a short time frame, costs will escalate out ofcontrol.
