Sommario/riassunto |
|
History has shown us that the power of political speech can be put to both positive and manipulative ends - while rhetoric is a powerful tool for those who seek to persuade others to adopt their views, it can also be employed to foment factionalism and undermine the very basis of a democratic society. In this unique study, Marc Hanvelt shows how eighteenth-century philosopher David Hume confronted questions about the negative moral and political effects of rhetoric, and how he differentiated between manipulative and non-manipulative political speech. Drawing on Hume's philosophical, historical, and popular writings, The Politics of Eloquence presents an understanding of |

rhetoric that can be properly ascribed to this important thinker, an understanding hitherto overlooked in the scholarly literature. Offering an original approach to thinking about political rhetoric - an essential element of democratic politics - Hanvelt makes important contributions to both Hume scholarship and to broader areas in political theory and philosophy. |

The performance of job scheduling policies strongly depends on the properties of the incoming jobs. If the job characteristics often change, the scheduling policy should follow these changes. For this p- pose the dynP job scheduler family has been developed. The idea is to dynamically switch the scheduling policy during runtime. In a basic v- sion the policy switching is controlled by two parameters. The basic concept of theself-tuning dynP scheduler is to compute virtual schedules for each policy in every scheduling step. That policy is chosen which generates the ''best'' schedule. The performance of the self-tuning dynP scheduler no longer depends on a adequate setting of the input parameters. |
