Product description
Graham Priest presents a new, expanded edition of his highly original exploration of the nature and limits of thought. Drawing on recent developments in the field of logic, Priest shows that the description of such limits leads to contradiction, and argues that these contradictions are in fact true. Beginning with an analysis of the way in which these limits arise in pre-Kantian philosophy, Priest goes on to illustrate how the nature of these limits was theorized by Kant and Hegel. He offers new interpretations of Berkeley's master argument for idealism and Kant on the antinomies. He explores the paradoxes of self-reference, and provides a unified account of the structure of such paradoxes. The book goes on to trace the theme of the limits of thought in modern philosophy of language, including discussions of the ideas of Wittgenstein and Derrida. The second edition includes new chapters on Heidegger and Nagarjuna, as well as reflections on reactions to the first edition. This clear, provocative, and systematic work offers a radically different approach to philosophy and logic.

Review quote
Review from previous edition This book is a splendid tour de force, one which should be read by every philosopher... Alan Weir, Philosophical Quarterly clever, resourceful, undogmatic, unpretentious, often sensible and usually clear over a wide range of issues Timothy Williamson, British Journal for the Philosophy of Science highly entertaining and provocative... an engaging and instructive tour through some of the most perplexing features of our own conceptual finitude... A. W. Moore, Times Literary Supplement Graham Priest combines a deep philosophical appreciation of fundamental logical issues with a marvelously informed reading of both the history of philosophy and contemporary texts. His work is ambitious and insightful... The book is an ambitious attempt to do important philosophical work across major borders - borders of the formal and philosophical, the historical and the contemporary, the Analytical and the Continental traditions. In [this] regard it is a resounding success. Patrick Grim, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
08 Aug 2012 14:12 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Iraq, Syria, United Kingdom
Tarak Barkawi is Reader in the Department of International Relations, London School of Economics.
Human rights organisations pride themselves on being impartial, on not taking sides in the conflicts they report on.
On July 31 in Aleppo, when Syrian rebels summarily executed the head of a pro-regime Shabiha militia, Ali Zeineddin al-Berri - and some of his men - there was a chorus of condemnation from Human Rights Watch (HRW), Amnesty International and the UN.
"What it looks like is execution of detainees and if that is the case, that would be a war crime," said a senior legal advisor for HRW.
To be sure, these same organisations have assiduously investigated the atrocities of the Assad regime.
But what are we to make of the idea that the violence of the regime and that of the rebels should be measured against the same
Cambridge, UK - Human rights organisations pride themselves on being impartial, on not taking sides in the conflicts they report on.
But what are we to make of the idea that the violence of the regime and that of the rebels should be measured against the same standard? Does it make sense to be impartial about a war?
Al-Berri was a regime thug who allegedly killed 15 Syrian rebels during a recent truce. Some of the worst massacres of the conflict have been carried out by Shabiha militia. Killing al-Berri may have been simple revenge; or it may have been a calculated message to encourage militiamen to stay home.
Maybe the killing was a mistake. It might convince regime dead-enders that they have no choice but to go down fighting. It certainly generated negative media coverage among the rebels' supporters in the West.
But for the human rights community, assessing al-Berri's killing is a legal not a strategic matter. Note the language used by HRW's lawyer: the Syrian rebels had unlawfully killed a "detainee".
The Syrian rebels are a collection of different groups, with no clear political direction or command structure. They are fighting a desperate war against a regime that will bomb and massacre its own people to stay in power, and which would prefer to see Syria destroyed than surrender.
The Syrian rebels actually doing the fighting mostly lack training, organisation, and leadership. Needless to say, they have not prioritised hiring lawyers, writing legal codes, and setting up a judiciary. It is unlikely the Syrian opposition has a consistent or enforceable "policy" on "detainees", whatever statements its campaign spokesmen outside Syria may make.
Yet HRW talks as if the rebels were just like a state. It seeks to hold them to the same standards with respect to discriminating between combatants and civilians, treatment of prisoners and so on.
What bias in human rights talk is revealed in this attempt at impartiality?
Firstly, the laws of war were written by states. There is a systematic bias favouring the official, uniformed armed forces of states. From the point of view of the state, a rebel is at best an "unlawful combatant" or a criminal, at worst a traitor or even a barbarian.
According to the Geneva Conventions, the definition of a legal combatant is one who carries weapons openly and ideally wears a uniform or distinguishing mark.
When rebels are strong and in control of territory, they can carry weapons openly. To do so in other situations is to surrender one of their few advantages. Had the Free Syrian Army carried weapons openly and worn uniforms when they infiltrated into Damascus and Aleppo, the regime would already be victorious.
From the point of view of these great standards of civilisation - the Geneva Conventions - a Syrian soldier fighting rebels bearing arms is perfectly legal. But the rebels who kill regime officials in their homes are war criminals.
How far would the rebellion against Assad have gotten if every rebel had to identify himself by openly carrying arms, engaging only in "fair fights" with the Syrian Armed Forces?
The problems with human rights talk go deeper.
NATO deploys lawyers en masse and its air forces are meticulous and expert in their targeting. But it could not satisfy HRW in the Libyan campaign. In May, HRW released a report asking NATO to account for 72 "civilian" casualties caused by air strikes. (Even if HRW is entirely correct, 72 dead civilians is a remarkably low price to pay for NATO's contribution to unseating Gaddafi.)
The definition of a civilian may seem straightforward. In fact, it is a very difficult matter, even in wars between states. Are arms workers civilians? Are soldiers not on duty civilians? Are unwilling conscripts civilians or soldiers? The Geneva Conventions evade the matter. They essentially say that a civilian is anyone who is not a legal combatant, that is, someone who is not carrying arms openly.
In war, the question of carrying weapons openly is a tactical issue and camouflage is a principal military art. Under sustained air attack, Gaddafi's military did not seek to advertise its "distinguishing marks" as the uniformed armed force of a sovereign state. After the first few days, for example, Libyan commanders did not use military radios or military vehicles. To do so was to invite death from the air from their enemies. After the war, HRW investigators found no evidence of military equipment at bombed out buildings that NATO said were Libyan command and control facilities. They naively assumed in such cases that civilians had been killed.
HRW now demand NATO investigate and account for these deaths. The idea here is that, ideally speaking, every death in war can be clearly adjudicated in legal terms. But given the ambiguity in the core distinction between civilian and combatant how could this ever be so?
Live Box 2012351658299834
The fantasy that matters of right and wrong in war are subject to legal determination creates a bogus position of moral superiority. It is a position occupied by those who believe human rights talk elevates them above the politics of war. They presume an imaginary world in which all war crimes will be investigated and punished, irrespective of who committed them.
Consider in this vein UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's remark that "Aleppo... is the epicentre of a vicious battle between the Syrian government and those who wish to replace it. The acts of brutality that are being reported may constitute crimes against humanity or war crimes. Such acts must be investigated and the perpetrators held to account."
By reference to the notion of war crimes, Ban Ki-moon creates a moral equivalence between the murderous regime of Assad and those who are fighting against the odds to defeat him. Whatever the failings of the rebels, and they are many, there is no such equivalence for any right thinking person.
Ban Ki-moon's comment also implies there will be some grand trial where good and bad, right and wrong, legal and illegal all will be decided.
In the real world, we know that the powerful write the laws and the victors hold the trials.
While HRW and Amnesty issue reports, and UN officials make grand statements, no US or UK official will ever be tried for war crimes in Iraq or for the on-going torture and imprisonment of terrorist suspects.
Human rights talk is a way of evading having to take sides in war and of pretending to be above war. But the only reason we have the UN and the human rights community is because of the victory of the Allies in World War II and of the West in the Cold War.
Perhaps it is time for human rights organisations to dispense with the lawyers and start studying politics and the paradoxes of war.

Support the local United Way
Published: Monday, November 10, 2003 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 9, 2003 at 11:00 p.m.
Dear Editor: If you live in the West Alabama area, consider yourself to be among (if not one of) the finest volunteers in the state. United Cerebral Palsy of West Alabama Inc., like other non-profits, depends heavily on community support and volunteers for their fund-raiser efforts. Fund-raisers are a critical part of the life of a non-profit.
We are currently in the midst of three such events. Fright Factory 2003 has closed its doors and is already planning for a bigger, better event next year. More than 60 volunteers worked many long hours, a labor of love for those haunted house hunters. Fright Factory was very successful this year, netting almost $19,000 for UCP. Currently, Apple Annie is hitting the streets selling her delicious red apples. Orders will be taken through Dec. 9, so get your order in now.
And last but least, if you have not already been asked to give to United Way through your employer, you may soon hear that call. United Way provides necessary matching funds for UCP and other agencies to access federal funds necessary for providing services to people with disabilities. So, when you are asked, please consider your community's dependence on local dollars.
For those who volunteer their precious time and for those who participate in our fundraisers by attending events or purchasing apples, we appreciate you. If not for you, we would not exist! Thank you, thank you!

What is the weight limit for the top shelf?
First I must say according to the photos the files fit in the drawers front to back which was fine and would have worked well BUT after assembly and putting files in the drawers the files also fit side to side and more files fit this way. This is ONLY because I'm not using the hanging file feature but plain old folders. Never been a big fan of hanging files so it works for me but if you need the hanging file feature the files go from to back only letter or legal size it would seem. The assembly instructions were easy to follow but I have assembled this type of furniture before. The instructions clearly state to allow ample time for assembly especially if you have not assembled this type of furniture before. If you have not assembled this type of furniture before, simply time and patience is all that is needed. I searched high and low for a filing solution that would work in the bedroom. We would not be satisfied with simple metal filing cabinets and everything I did find looked like a filing cabinet nonetheless. These filing cabinets however look very much like side tables and just absolutely perfect for putting a clock or lamp on top books underneath the shelf and then I files in each drawer. I had planned on finding one filing cabinet but fell so much in love with this design I ordered two one for each side of the bed and they look great!...

Needs Design Adjustment
I'm keeping this file drawer only because I don't want to take the trouble to return it. I found that the file drawer wouldn't close because of the lock, which sticks above the flush line of the drawer. I had assembled it per instructions and screwed it in place, lining up the pre-drilled holes. But in order to get the drawer to close, I had to remove the lock altogether, leaving a hole with pressed wood visible along the edges. Rather ugly. On a brighter note, my computer's printer sits on the shelf just fine, and the file drawer is working okay now.Read More

Not worth the $
I was extremely disappointed by this cabinet. It's quite expensive but I thought it would be worth it as it looked more like real furniture. But in reality it looked like cheap, fake veneer. More importantly, the holes in the (very sturdy) metal frame to support the top did not line up with the holes in the body of the cabinet, so I was only able to screw in 4 of the 6 screws. Not only does this make it unstable, but it also looks bad, as they are shiny, decorative screws. And they weren't just a little off, either. The bottom holes are an inch too far over. The instructions were also pretty terrible; for example, there are a bunch of different kinds of screws, and none of them are labeled and all look the same in the instruction pictures. However, the drawer moved very smoothly.Read More

great product for the price. it is functional. The color is great.Read More
Disappointing manufacturing.
I have assembled loads of flat-pack furniture but none of this one ended up a bit skew-whiff. I will stick with the big Swedish giant from now on. I found a similar product which cost half as much and is much, much better designed and executed.Read More
Great side table
Kinda of hard to assemble. It looks great. The side panel allows to place a book or item on the top and store items inside. It comes with a pretty secure look as well.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello peapod90, Overstock.com does not weigh test items. I wouldn't put more than 5 pounds on the top shelf. Have a great day!
The only puzzling thing about the product is the handle is a nice brushed silver but the ring around the keyhole is shiny gold toned... Odd. Is there an option to have the keyhole match the brushed silver handle? I supposed spray paint would work...
Hello deecaffeinated, unfortunately we do not have the option to change the color of the lock and handle. This item is only available as displayed. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a great day!
does this cabinet come with a key?
Thank you for contacting us counselingyogi. Yes this cabinet comes with a key. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Two keys per lock actually.
Which way are the hanging files oriented in the drawer?
Please view the second image on the product page which shows the direction of the hanging files.
If you don't use the hanging file feature, plain files fit nicely from side to side.
Can this file cabinet hold hanging files?
This file cabinet is designed to hold hanging files in the drawer.

Best Materials for Cabinets
After deciding on the purpose and room for your new cabinet, it's time to think about material. As with all furniture, you will want to select a cabinet material depending on what you plan to use your cabinet for, as well as your personal taste. Take a look below to learn about the best materials for cabinets. Wood: The majority of cabinets produced are created with hard wood. Wood cabinets can be found in both traditional and contemporary designs. If you are hoping for durability in addition to design, no cabinet looks better and lasts longer than one manufactured using a solid wood. Cherry cabinets offer a sense of classic luxury while holding up to years of use. Oak cabinets conjure up the feel of subtle country beauty, and maple cabinets can look bright, modern and chic. Metal: Metal cabinets are terrific for those looking for a modern touch in their homes; most metal cabinets have a very forward-looking aesthetic, so they are perfect for a contemporary home. Metal cabinets are also great for home offices. Obviously, metal offers great durability, but it is vulnerable to dings and dents. Keep in mind that most metal cabinets have sharp corners, making them slightly less suitable for homes with kids running around. Glass: If you have something you feel like showing off, nothing is better for display purposes than a glass cabinet. These cabinets are certainly more fragile than those made from other materials, but they offer something other cabinets can't: transparency. Many glass cabinets are manufactured with built-in lighting systems to exhibit whatever you choose to place in them. Because of their show-off quality, glass cabinets are perfect for places you expect guests, such as the dining room and living room. Particle board: If you are shopping for a cabinet on a tight budget, looking into particle board cabinets is worthwhile. Particle board is a relatively new material produced by pressing wood particles together, which is then bound with synthetic resin. Furniture created with particle board is almost always the least expensive option and also the lightest, but you will sacrifice some durability. If you plan to move often, a particle board cabinet could be an ideal option. View All Furniture Back to Guides Directory View All Furniture

STANDING TALL – Pete Gouger of South Yarmouth, 92, an Air Force navigator and POW in World War II
As the new president-elect of the American Dental Association, Dr. Robert A. Faiella of Cotuit hopes to increase access to dental care for people in need.
A new West Main Street gas station and paperwork details moving on a new Route 132 store has Stop & Shop busy with projects on different sides of Hyannis.
At the same time Dr. Richard Salluzzo was restoring Cape Cod Healthcare's financial wellbeing, he was prescribing Valium and Zoloft inappropriately for his own use and for family members. He also failed to keep appropriate medical records.
Barnstable was the first town on Cape Cod to ban smoking in restaurants, and it is poised to be the first to consider the ban of tobacco products at pharmacies and stores with pharmacies in them.
CORRECTEDA tide of reform hit Cape governments more than 20 years ago, sweeping tull-time boards of selectmen away in favor of part-time selectmen working with a strong appointed executive.
Just days before 11/11/11, voters turned over the town council's odometer.
It was always possible that it could come to this. With an unresolved court case, Barnstable Municipal Airport's $20 million terminal is effectively finished, but cannot be used.
Chris Joyce was educated in the Barnstable School System, and now, thanks to more than 4,000 votes, Joyce will fill one of the three seats on the school committee.
Some squinted into the bright sunlight at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center in the morning. Others stood in leafy afternoon shadows, waving and smiling. Yet others held flashlights up to their campaign signs after dark.
A Catholic priest who helped pick up the pieces after a federal raid on a New Bedford factory employing undocumented immigrants spoke to members of the Cape Cod Council of Churches last week on the need for changes in immigration policy.
How would you spend, say, $10,000 or so? Would you blow it on a cruise? How many people would you think to benefit with your money?

What combination of CSS or attributes are needed?
The button is not a standard HTML control.
what's wrong with
? Will look same except safari on mac i guess (on mac, all upload controls looks different, on all browsers)
In addition to the quirksmode tutorial, here's another good resource: http://www.shauninman.com/archive/2007/09/10/styling_file_inputs_with_css_and_the_dom
If you're hiding the actual control, remember that it is very important to set the opacity of the control to zero, and not actually use
Also, if you're covering up the control with a graphic button, do be aware that in some browsers (Firefox and IE, I believe), you will not be able to change the cursor type to a hand when it's over the text-input part of the file control (it will always default to the input or the regular non-link pointer). And yes, I've tried using
Personally, I've struggled with customized upload boxes, and there is no silver bullet for getting their appearance or customization perfect. (especially concerning the behavior of the cursor, as I consider that a UI deal-breaker). At the end of the day, I think it's just easier to accept that different browsers will render the control differently, and that's just how it is.

A consortium formed to develop a new targeted drug against Alzheimer's disease will receive €8.6 million ($11.3 million) from France's state innovation agency Bpifrance, the effort's initiator and leader said today.
AB Science said the effort, titled Role of Mast Cells in Neurology or ROMANE, will join the company with five partners that include the Brain and Spine Institute; Molecular Imaging Research Center or MIRCen, within France's Atomic Energy Commission; the National Institute of Health and Medical Research or INSERM; Imagine Foundation; and Skuldtech, a biotechnology company specializing in discovery of biomarkers and development of companion diagnostics and testing tools.
ROMANE's three goals are to validate the role of mast cells as a therapeutic target in Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, develop AB Science's drug candidate masitinib as a treatment for Alzheimer's, and propose new tools for diagnosis and monitoring of patients with the memory-robbing disease based on blood biomarkers and new imaging techniques.
Masitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor designed to inhibit c-Kit and Lyn, two kinases specifically expressed in mast cells. As GEN reported last month, the road to a safe and effective Alzheimer's drug has been littered with numerous failures compared with just five successes, all of which have simply slowed progression of symptoms for six to 12 months.
ROMANE includes AB Science's already-launched Phase III trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different doses of masitinib for patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's. In announcing the trial back in May, the company said the first patients for the study had been recruited in several countries for the trial, intended to evaluate the effect of masitinib after 24 weeks of treatment on cognition and memory, as well as on self-care and activities of daily living.
In the Phase III trial, masitinib will be given as an add-on therapy to patients treated at least six months with a stable dose of cholinesterase inhibitors (rivastigmine) and/or memantine, with no changes foreseen in therapy throughout the study. The Phase III study followed promising Phase II results linking masitinib with improvement in cognitive function and functional capacity compared to placebo, with an acceptable tolerance profile.
The funding from Bpifrance includes €5.9 million ($7.8 million) for AB Science itself in grants and repayable advances, the company said. The Bpifrance funds come from the agency's Industrial Strategic Innovation program, which awards between €3 million (about $4 million) and €10 million ($13.2 million) in repayable advances and grants for collaborative innovative projects with an industrial purpose, run by small and medium-sized companies, and deemed both highly promising and unlikely to succeed without public support.

The Great Dictator
Tuesday May 27 07:30 PM
Doris Duke Theatre
About the Film:
Directed by Charlie Chaplin. 1940. USA. 124 mins.
The U.S. was not yet in World War II when Chaplin leveled his comedy arsenal at Der Führer by playing the dual roles of Hitler-like Adenoid Hynkel and a Jewish barber who is a dead-ringer for der Nutsie. Puns, sight gags and slapstick abound as Chaplin skewers fascism, balancing his attack with poignant scenes of a ghetto in the clutches of storm-trooping terror.—Film Forum
Special guest: Dr. Peter H. Hoffenberg, Associate Professor of History at the University of Hawai'i–Mānoa, will introduce the film.

Last week, I was invited to the Philadelphia area to be a part of the Gore-Tex Experience More Blogger Summit, a meetup of several outdoor bloggers from around the country. We were invited to learn a bit more about Gore-Tex and the company behind it, as well as get some behind-the-scenes factory tours and opportunities to ask tons of questions along the way.
I'll admit, before heading east, I didn't know that much about Gore-Tex, other than it's a breathable yet waterproof fabric that seems to be in most of my hiking boots and a few of my colder-weather jackets. You've most likely seen either the Gore-Tex or Windstopper label on one of your favorite outdoor items, but the first night highlighted some of the other stuff Gore does – which is a lot. The main component of Gore-Tex is found in everything from NASA space suits to Glide floss, Elixir guitar strings, replacement human arteries, and even ropes used for deep-sea dredging and anchoring – and it's called ePTFE.
It's short for extended polytetrafluoroethylene, which – if you're at all mildly concerned about the environment – sounds terrifying. But it's not as bad as it sounds. While the material does use a few less-than-savory chemicals in its production, it's mostly formed from fluoride and carbon, which occurs naturally. The ePTFE itself is a flexible rubbery substance that, when heated, can be stretched while maintaining its strength. Here, we get a little demo of one of the finished products from Gene, one of the Gore associates :
Gene and Emily, another associate, walked us around the Gore Capability Center, a sort of exhibition space / museum that shows off everything Gore can do, so that prospective buyers can figure out if Gore can help them with something they're working on. Like a hydrogen fuel-cell moped, for instance.
Everyone at the Summit fell under the general umbrella of "outdoor bloggers" – hunting, fishing, camping, backpacking, trail and marathon running, ultralight, rock climbing, and hiking were all represented – but I know most, if not all of us were impressed with the sheer range of uses for this mysterious component of our shoes and jackets. I also know a few of us nerdier outdoor bloggers were really digging all the science.
Afterward, they took us into a presentation room and gave us a sneak peak at their new outdoor community site, which is slated to launch in mid-November. I'll have a bit more on that closer to their launch, but from sitting and talking with some of the Gore employees and seeing everything they put into their product, I really got the sense that this is a company who really understands their market.
This isn't a company that has to hire a research firm to find out what kinds of people are using Gore-Tex, it's a company made up of people who actually use Gore-Tex in the wild. On the second day, we went to a few Gore facilities in Maryland and Delaware, and even just from walking through the cubicles and offices, you could tell that. Everyone had hunting trophies, summit photos, or other outdoor memorabilia absolutely filling every available space.
I'll have more on the rest of the Summit in the coming days, including some factory tours, Q&A sessions, and some new technology on the way to stores soon.
Disclosure – all of my expenses were paid for by Gore through the duration of the Summit.

Erik, you're right. Not everything that comes out of nature is good. I wouldn't want to eat a chunk of lead, either :) I don't want it to come across that ePTFE is natural (that's why I mentioned it uses some chemicals in its processing, etc), but my point here is that I had assumed – as I'm sure many others had – that Gore-Tex was a synthetic chemical creation made from petrochemicals, and I was surprised to learn this was not the case.
Very few people can claim to have no impact on the environment – and I don't think any company or organization can lay claim to that either – but (as you'll read later) I was actually very impressed to learn about the lengths to which Gore goes to ensure its environmental footprint is as small as it can possibly be.
While I'll submit that PTFE isn't that bad from an environmental stand point in and of itself, your reasoning for its lack of danger is a bit misleading:
"…it's [PTFE] mostly formed from fluoride and carbon, which occurs naturally."
PTFE doesn't occur naturally, maybe you were referring to fluoride and carbon? Sure those things occur naturally (though fluoride is always going to be with something else, like H). But my main point is that even things with carbon and fluoride, with names we can pronounce, can be very bad:

FBI Antiterrorism Computer Is Delayed by Tardy Software; Trilogy Program Awaits Final Technology Upgrade
Newspaper article The Washington Times (Washington, DC) , November 5, 2003
Article excerpt
Byline: Jerry Seper, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Implementation of the FBI's highly touted but often-criticized $458 million Trilogy antiterrorism computer system has been delayed by a contractor's failure to meet a delivery date for essential software and equipment, the General Services Administration said yesterday.
The GSA said Computer Sciences Corp.'s (CSC) inability to deliver on time upgraded technology as the last of three phases of an FBI plan to transform its information capabilities with high-speed networks and state-of-the-art computers would delay efforts to make the Trilogy program fully operational.
Trilogy was designed to allow FBI field agents to receive case files at their desks and to link the bureau with various law enforcement agency databases. It has been termed critical in the FBI's war against terrorism.
"CSC's failure to meet its delivery date will prevent the FBI from fully deploying the third component ... by Dec. 13," the GSA said in a statement. "GSA is working with both CSC and the FBI to determine an immediate corrective course of action. In the interim, the FBI is continuing to train its 28,000 employees on all operational phases of the information technology upgrades."
The delay was announced by the GSA's Federal Systems Integration Management Center, which is the contracting agency. …
