The term would begin with the 1999 volume; the editorship has an official term of five years (renewable). The Publications Committee is planning to meet and consider applications at the 4S annual meeting this coming October. Indications of interest can be given to any member of the Committee by June 30, 1997; the Chair (Rachelle Hollander, Room 995, NSF, 4201 Wilson Blvd. Room 995, Arlington, VA 22230) must receive all materials in support of an application by September 5, 1997. ST&HV is the flagship journal of the society; it is published by Sage Periodicals Press; the current editor is Olga Amsterdamska, University of Amsterdam. The banner of the journal reads: "Science, Technology and Human Values is an international, multidisciplinary journal containing research and commentary on the development and dynamics of science and technology, including their involvement in politics, society, and culture. As the official journal of the Society for Social Studies of Science, [it] exists to foster the development of the field of science and technology studies." The editor of the Journal solicits manuscripts, arranges for their review, and makes final determination as to suitability for publication. Around 80 submissions are expected each year, and the success ratio is around 25%-30%. The editor also works with a group of contributing editors and an editorial advisory board of set terms, and is responsible for nominating replacements to the 4S Publications Committee. The editor reports on the status of the journal to the Publications Committee at the annual meetings each year. The ideal candidate is a person of stature in the field, with breadth and sensitivity to the alternate points of view within it, and with appropriate institutional support.

In my opinion, this book marks an epoch in the history of the human sciences. It is, as far as I know, the first comprehensive overview of the discipline and draws on the specialist scholarship across the whole range of its topics. I hope and trust that members and friends of the profession will join me in congratulating him. I have a special avuncular interest in this work, since my lectures when he was an undergraduate at Cambridge drew him into the field. I supervised his doctoral dissertation and have admired his independent development in the subsequent decades. I also published his book _Inhibition_ and greatly value his scholarship. In order to make clear the scope of the book I will add the table of contents.

I wonder if this is yet another Eurocentric view of the "History" of Human Sciences, presented as though "global" and "universal", with perhaps a footnote or two about the medieval mediterrarean world and the rest of the 'non-Western' world. George Sarton's "History of Science" volumes perhaps still remain the best for that comprehensive, global perspective on such matters. And there are just a few others.

I have a good friend who has recently published a paper on Ibn Khaldun, arguing that many of the social science concepts which we have inherited from eighteenth and nineteenth century European social thought were in fact anticipated in Ibn Khaldun's work centuries before. The paper appears in a collection of essays on the work of Robert Cox, who also wrote a paper on lessons from Ibn Khaldun for international relations theory. Regrettably, I don't have the citations for either paper here with me now, altough I would be happy to make them available if anyone is interested. Has anyone on this list done any work with Ibn Khaldun?

Indeed, there is so, so very much more. Ibn Khaldun's name is a bit better known--and his influence upon some of European scholars at the time was enormous; but also upon Ronald Reagan, for his so-called "Laffer Curve"!! Some have called that the "Khaldun curve." And there are scores of others about whom the average reader--even the typical scholar-historian--hardly has a perspective. But that is how it is. As one colleague has often told me, "Just accept it--it is the 'cultural' thing."

M. Young Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I am glad to announce that (with the aid of Helen Davies) I have put my first book on my seb site: _Mind, Brain and Adaptation in the Nineteenth Century: Cerebral Localization and Its Biological Context from Gall to Ferrier_ (Oxford, 1970, 1990). Although the title may look forbidingly technical and specialised, the book is an attempt to think about the relationship between mind and brain in the period from the first empirical to the first experimental work on the topic. Its net is cast broadly to include theories of human nature, evolution and the history of psychology. One way of viewing its inspiration is that I sought to look behind the approach Freud took in his first book, _On Aphasia_ (1901). Another is that I sought to explore the interrelations between biological and psycholopgical theory in the nineteenth century - the foundations of our present ways of thinking about these matters. In addition to obtaining the rights to that book in order to put it on the net, I have placed four others on my web site: _Darwin's Metaphor: Nature's Place in Victorian Culture_ (Cambridge, 1985) _Mental Space_ (Process Press, 1994) _Whatever Happened to Human Nature?_ (Process Press, in press) _The Culture of British Psychoanalysis_ (Process Press, forthcoming). These books, along with about seventy articles and essays are available for reading or downloading at: http://www.shef.ac.uk/uni/academic/N-Q/psysc/staff/rmyoung/papers/index.html Some more personal essays and information about the journals, _Free Associations: Psychoanalysis, Groups, Politics, Culture_ and _Science as Culture, along with the other existing and planned publications of Process Press, are available at: http://www.shef.ac.uk/uni/academic/N-Q/psysc/staff/rmyoung/index.html There are facilities for sending comments and feedback at these sites. I shall continue putting my writings on the web until all of the substantial ones are there. __________________________________________ Robert Maxwell Young: robert@rmy1.demon.co.uk 26 Freegrove Rd., London N7 9RQ, Eng. tel.+44 171 607 8306 fax.+44 171 609 4837 Professor of Psychotherapy and Psychoanalytic Studies, Centre for Psychotherapeutic Studies, University of Sheffield.

Hayek is the co-originator of the Hebb-Hayek synaptic learning model and author of the well known _The Sensory Order_. Hayek's work in neuroscience has gained prominence in recent years due to Gerald Edelman's _Neural Darwinism_, and Joaquin Fuster's _Memory in the Cerebral Cortex: An Empirical Approach to Neural Networks in the Human and Nonhuman Primates_. Fuster, of the UCLA School of Medicine, writes "The first proponent of cortical memory networks on a major scale was neither a neuroscientist nor a computer scientist but .. a Viennese economist: Friedrich von Hayek (1899-1992). A man of exceptionally broad knowledge and profound insight into the operation of complex systems, Hayek applied such insight with remarkable success to economics (Nobel Prize, 1974), sociology, political science, jurisprudence, evolutionary theory, psychology, and brain science (Hayek, 1952) .. The main reasons for dwelling .. on Hayek's model is simply that it has certain properties, absent from most others, that conform exceptionally well to recent neurobiological evidence on memory and that make it particularly suited to the current discourse." (Joaquin Fuster, _Memory in the Cerebral Cortex: An Empirical Approach to Neural Networks in the Human and Nonhuman Primate_. Cambridge: MIT Press, 1995, p. 87, 89) Hayek is also the originator of the intertemporal equilibrium construction, and his seminal work on the role of price signals in the coordination of dispersed and imperfect knowledge is the spur for much of the contemporary literature on these topics. Hayek was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics in 1974 for his work on the interconnection of economic phenomena. Nobel Prize winner Herbert Simon writes, "No one has characterized market mechanisms better than Friedrich von Hayek". Herbert Simon, _The Sciences of the Artificial_, 2nd Edition, Cambridge: The MIT Press, 1981, p. 41) In addition, Hayek is the author of pathbreaking discussions on the nature of complex phenomena, spontaneous order, and on the character of generic explanations dealing with this sort of phenomena, work that has informed the thinking of Gerald Edelman, Walter Weimer, Karl Popper, Robert Nozick, Don Lavoie, Axel Leijonhufvud, Joaquine Fuster and other leading figures in economics, philosophy, and the cognitive sciences. Hayek's work in the law has influenced the thinking of many leading members of the U.S. Federal bench, including that of the current Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Such leading legal theorists as Ronald Dworkin, Richard Epstein, Bernard Siegan, and Joseph Raz have written on Hayek's well known work on the character and foundations of the law. Robert Skidelsky, the respected biographer of John Maynard Keynes, describes Friedrich Hayek as "the dominant intellectual influence of the last quarter of the twentieth century". The basic purpose of the Hayek-L list is to serve as a forum for scholarly discussions and as a clearing house the distribution of information on academic conferences, publication opportunities, fellowship information, academic grants, and job openings of interest to Hayek scholars. Subscribers are encouraged to post questions, comments, or announcements of interest to individuals working on topics related to Hayek's writings. Appropriate postings might pertain to work currently in progress, the development of course materials, bibliographical material of interest to researcher to work related to Hayek, useful internet resources, inter-disciplinary inquiries, etc. The list is for scholars and others interested the ideas of Friedrich A. Hayek without restriction according to interest or professional affiliation. Hayek-L is not devoted to any particular niche within the scope of Hayek's oeurvre, but instead welcomes contributions on any aspect of the full range of Hayek's contribution to contemporary scholarship. Discussions of the scholarly contributions of other important thinkers who have developed or criticized aspects of Hayek's work are also welcomed. E.g. discussions of the work of Gerald Edelman, Karl Popper, Frank Knight, Ronald Dworkin, Joaquin Fuster, Walter Weimer, Robert Nozick, John Maynard Keynes, Leonid Horwicz, Sanford Grossman, and others related to the work of Friedrich Hayek are also welcome.
