1. Prince Maurice's rational parrot: civil discourse in Locke's 'Essay'

Author

Walmsley, Peter

Subjects

Abstract

Paul de Man's essay 'The Epistemology of Metaphor' has made people see Locke as an ordinary language theorist whose wish for transparent meaning is foiled by the words he uses. Paul de Man states that metaphors are hidden in the phraseology of Locke's discourse. The depiction of Locke as a person too philosophic to consider the ambiguity of the language and its allusiveness has gained currency among the literary historians. The talk between Prince Maurice and his parrot is one of the examples in which Locke sees beyond the boundaries of philosophy.

2. Dispute and conversation: probability and the rhetoric of natural philosophy in Locke's Essay

Author

Walmsley, Peter

Subjects
Science -- Beliefs, opinions and attitudes, History, Humanities, Philosophy and religion
Abstract

John Locke, philosopher, placed an emphasis on tolerance, and using caution in forming opinions, a process which involves taking time, and he was against the custom of dispute which was important in the curriculum of universities of his time. Conversation allowed a more measured and open exchange of ideas, and could be extended to include philosophical letters. This measured approach was more scientific, and reflects Locke's support for those who were creating science, and his rejection of scholasticism.

15. An alternative to inpatient care for clients with acute mental illness

Author

Walmsley, Peter

Subjects
Mentally ill -- Care and treatment, Psychiatric services -- Management, Health
Abstract

Mental health workers used a brief scale to evaluate the effectiveness of hospital-based care for patients admitted with acute mental health problems. The scales revealed that hospitalization was an effective intervention, as patients left hospital with a reduction in symptoms. They also showed that a day service could produce similar results in many circumstances, but that a partial hospitalization approach would answer the full range of patients' needs. Re-organisation of the service to form this structure, together with the addition of a telephone crisis line, has proved effective.
