Imaginative Resistance and Empathic Resistance [PDF]

Topoi, 2019
In the past few decades, a growing number of philosophers have tried to explain the phenomenon of imaginative resistance (IR), or why readers often resist the invitation of authors to imagine morally deviant fictional scenarios. In this paper, I critically assess a recent proposal to explain IR in terms of a failure of empathy, and present a novel ...

Microbial resistance or team resistance? [PDF]

BMC Proceedings, 2011
Introduction / objectives Errors in the process of drug therapy has been an issue for the change in the epidemiological profile of microorganisms, causing antibiotic resistance. Whereas full-time care of the nursing staff in patient care, was aimed to analyze the errors which undoubtedly may be preventable with measures of interventions and reflect on ...
