The personification of abstract qualities, virtues, places, art forms, and acts was a ubiquitous feature of the London Lord Mayors' Shows of the Jacobean period. This essay explores the political philosophies that the repeated use of these figures suggest, and argues that the textual descriptions of these events invite the reader to understand the process of signification itself as grounded in an objectivism guaranteed by political authority.

Maron's novel Die Überläuferin represents the disintegration and regeneration of an individual's sense of identity. The narrative traces the process by which its heroine breaks free from her conformist ways of thinking and acknowledges her most feared desires.

The article analyzes the images of walls, death, and rebirth as well as the function of fantasy and memory to demonstrate the destabilizing and self-emancipatory effects of creative action. (SCA)

"The new field of machine ethics is concerned with giving machines ethical principles, or a procedure for discovering a way to resolve the ethical dilemmas they might encounter, enabling them to function in an ethically responsible manner through their own ethical decision making. Developing ethics for machines, in contrast to developing ethics for human beings who use machines, is by its nature an interdisciplinary endeavor. The essays in this volume represent the first steps by philosophers and artificial intelligence researchers toward explaining why it is necessary to add an ethical dimension to machines that function autonomously, what is required in order to add this dimension, philosophical and practical challenges to the machine ethics project, various approaches that could be considered in attempting to add an ethical dimension to machines, work that has been done to date in implementing these approaches, and visions of the future of machine ethics research"--
