Sommario/riassunto

In What is Disease?, renowned philosophers and medical ethicists survey and elucidate the profoundly important concepts of disease and health. Christopher Boorse begins with an extensive reexamination of his seminal definition of disease as a value-free scientific concept. In responding to all those who criticized this view, which came to be called "naturalism" or "neutralism," Boorse clarifies and updates his landmark ideas on this crucial question. Other distinguished thinkers analyze, develop, and oftentimes defend competing, nonnaturalistic theories of disease, including discussions of the relevance of these concepts to the question of "diseased" sexual orientation and to alternative medicine. What is Disease? brings concerned readers up-to-date in the debate over the proper definition of "disease," a concept of central importance not only for bioethicists, but also for those throughout clinical medicine, sociology, psychology, and law who deal with disease and its associated problems on an everyday basis.

Sommario/riassunto

Abélard n’aura pas réussi à maîtriser le récit de sa vie : au lieu de la glorieuse Passion philosophique que seul il entendait écrire, une autre Passion s’écrit malgré lui et à deux mains - la passion de la maîtrise. Cette maîtrise, le philosophe la désire sans oser se l’avouer. Et il la désire sur les deux scènes qu’il investit tour à tour et qui formeront les deux volets de cette étude, à savoir la scène pédagogique et dialectisée du xiie siècle qui préfigure les combats d’une université encore à venir, et cette autre scène apparemment étrangère à l’exercice de la philosophie qu’est la scène érotique. D’une scène à l’autre, il s’agira de lire ce que le maître ne veut pas savoir de l’exercice de la philosophie : que ce soit la férocité agonistique qui double l’amour qu’il proclame pour le vrai, ou l’érotisation du logos qui constitue la tentation secrète et littéraire du discours philosophique, érotisation que le philosophe veut effacer, et qu’Héloïse persiste à infliger, malgré lui et à son insu, au discours par trop édifiant qu’il lui adresse.

Introduction -- Fundamentals of persistence -- Data structures, libraries, and UML -- Advanced features, schema migration -- Languages, their features and limitations -- Automatic persistence for Objective-C -- Benchmark -- Proposal to add a keyword to all OO languages -- The future. .

Sommario/riassunto

Recently, the pressure for fast processing and efficient storage of large data with complex relations increased beyond the capability of traditional databases. Typical examples include iPhone applications, computer aided design – both electrical and mechanical, biochemistry applications, and incremental compilers. Serialization, which is sometimes used in such situations is notoriously tedious and error prone. In this book, Jiri Soukup and Petr Macháček show in detail how to write programs which store their internal data automatically and transparently to disk. Together with special data structure libraries



which treat relations among objects as first-class entities, and with a UML class-diagram generator, the core application code is much simplified. The benchmark chapter shows a typical example where persistent data is faster by the order of magnitude than with a traditional database, in both traversing and accessing the data. The authors explore and exploit advanced features of object-oriented languages in a depth hardly seen in print before. Yet, you as a reader need only a basic knowledge of C++, Java, C#, or Objective C. These languages are quite similar with respect to persistency, and the authors explain their differences where necessary. The book targets professional programmers working on any industry applications, it teaches you how to design your own persistent data or how to use the existing packages efficiently. Researchers in areas like language design, compiler construction, performance evaluation, and no-SQL applications will find a wealth of novel ideas and valuable implementation tips.
