Towards renewal? The British labour party's policy review

This contribution explores the process of programmatic renewal in the British Labour Party from 1987 to 1991, the so‐called Policy Review. It considers the mechanics of the review, the key programmatic changes that occurred and the main factors shaping the process. It concludes that a substantial overhaul of policy took place, but queries whether this constituted ‘programmatic renewal’. It briefly considers Labour's future programmatic orientation in the wake of a fourth successive election defeat.

Reconstructive Procedures in Surgery

In this work, British experts review and update their respective fields and preferred methods in managing specific problems of reconstruction of body conduits that carry fluids in the thorax, abdomen, and extremities. A special section deals with internal fixation of fractures, breast reconstructions, and abdominal hernia repairs. The first of five sections deals with the general physiological, anatomic, and pathological reconstructive principles shared in common by these conduits for blood, urine, gastric juices, intestinal contents, bile or lymph, the metabolic basis of repair generally, and the suitability of specific biomaterials for repair, including their tolerance by the body. In the next three sections, knowledge of specific conduit conditions and corrective procedures is updated for gastroenterology, urology, and cardiovascular surgery, and the experts defend their methods. The final section deals with the aforementioned special topics. Excellent line drawings throughout make for easier understanding of the varied reconstruction problems and procedures. Designed

Engineering the Universe: William Thomson and Fleeming Jenkin on the nature of matter

Summary Based largely on unpublished manuscript material from the Kelvin papers, and especially on a series of letters exchanged in 1867 between Fleeming Jenkin (the first Professor of Engineering at Edinburgh University) and William Thomson (later Lord Kelvin), this paper aims to examine the background and content of the Thomson-Jenkin speculations on the nature of matter. The letters formed an interlude in a long collaboration over electrical patents and raise the fundamental question of whether these speculations, involving the construction of a variety of conceptual models, derive primarily from older traditions of speculative matter theory, or from contemporary problems within natural philosophy qua physics. The correspondence also provided the immediate background to Jenkin's North British review article of 1868 on ‘Lucretius and the atomic theory’.

Imagination by Mary Warnock

35~ BOOK REVIEWS and depth of human person is significantly related to the concept of the self. The ability to make weak moral evaluations, in which only the functional or utilitarian consequences of actions are evaluated, does not capture the uniqueness of the person. Neither does the Sartrean notion of radical choice in which an agent inexplicably moves to one or another moral alternative without the ability to articulate the causes of the choice capture the unique characteristics of the self. What determines the uniqueness of the self and manifestly exhibits the distinctness of the responsible self is the ability of the person to plumb the depths of moral choices and struggle from abstruseness to articulation and clarity in this process. In her concluding article, Amelie Rorty quickly distinguishes characters, figures, persons, individuals, presences, and selves to show how the conventional concept of the person as the locus of unity of choice is justifiable. Maintaining distinctions between these entities would help to eliminate much confusion in the study of the person. The distinctions among these entities are very clearly and artfully drawn, and Rorty's point about the need to distinguish the concept of the person from these other literary and dramatic figures is well made. This work must be read with a great deal of attention. But it is one that should be read by all who must deal with the issue of the identification, definition, and limitation of the concept of the person. The quality of scholarship in the assembled articles is excellent. The concepts dealt with are most difficult and often resist clarification and simplification. The sheer obscurity of the subject matter makes for extreme difficulties in composition , style, and language. But all of the writers have dealt with these masterfully. The work has succeeded in showing the richness and elusiveness of the concept of the person, a point upon which almost all of the authors agree. The book could have been improved somewhat by providing brief summaries just before the articles. I feel that this would have given a greater unity to the book and facilitated its reading. But it is nonetheless a book of enduring value, not only for the first-rate articles that it has joined under one cover but also for the excellent bibliography. Providence College, Providence, R. I. ROBERT L. BARRY, 0.P. Imagination. By MARY WARNOCK. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1976. Pp. fll3. Index. $13.95. Mrs. Warnock, who has previously published books on ethics, on existentialism , and on the philosophy of Sartre, here offers a study of the nature and epistemological role of imagination as conceived by various modern thinkers. She begins with the problematic that the British empiricists BOOK REVIEWS 353 inherited from Descartes (what we are aware of is the content of our consciousness, i.e., mental objects or ideas) and then traces the theme of imagination as interpreted in this context through the analyses of Hume, Kant, and Schelling, and then through the combined philosophical and literary-critical reflections of Coleridge and Wordsworth on their own experience of creative imagination. These thinkers lead her to the conclusion that imagination plays a necessary role in interpretation even of what is before our eyes, but she also makes clear that they give no adequate account of what is actually meant by an image. She therefore turns to some more recent thinkers for aid in exploring that question-in particular, Brentano, Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Jaspers, Ryle, Wittgenstein and Sartre. The result is her conclusion that: " Imagination is our means of interpreting the world, and it is also our means of forming images in the mind. The images themselves are not separate from our interpretations of the world; they are our way of thinking of the objects in the world." Her inquiry itself is genuinely philosophical. It is far more than just the history of an idea; rather she is interested in discovering the truth of the matter, and she seeks it through a process of asking searching questions of each of her authors. This leads her in what is basically the direction of a critical realism in which imagination plays a pivotal role in the movement...

Progress in Clinical Medicine

In five years since the previous edition of this British review, progress in immunology has outstripped other areas of clinical medicine. Eleven of the 17 chapters in the present volume contain information derived from immunological studies. One chapter is devoted entirely to "Immunity, Autoimmunity, and Immunosuppression." Another area of dramatic advance has been molecular genetics. Appropriately, the editors include a separate chapter by C. A. Clarke, reviewing the fundamental concepts and vocabulary of this field. The remaining chapters range from the medical uses of computers, organ transplantation, drug abuse, alcoholism, and the treatment of affective disorders and schizophrenia, to the more traditional rubrics of internal medicine—cardiology, hematology, gastroenterology, renology, endocrinology (two chapters), oncology, neurology, virology, and pulmonary medicine. Throughout, the authors emphasize basic pathophysiology instead of the more esoteric details of their respective subjects. Each chapter can stand as a coherent essay. The references are selective rather than comprehensive. The

Gynecologic Operations: Indications, Technic and Results

The first edition of this text, published in German in 1960, elicited a highly favorable British review that urged prompt English translation. This task has been accomplished by that reviewer, employing the second edition released in 1965. He indicates that the translation is not literal and that "considerable liberties have been taken... to bring it into line with U. S. and British practice." Unfortunately, the result is a potpourri of English, European, and American customs which lacks consistency. For example, the section on the Manchester procedure, occupying 13 pages, overshadows the eight pages on vaginal hysterectomy, the latter being far more commonly employed in this country. Much of the text material is out of date, with complete omission of some newer techniques. Indeed, the latest bibliographical references are 1962. Bougies to induce abortion are described at length, but intrauterine hypertonic saline is only briefly mentioned, without discussion of technique, efficacy,

Economic Controversy in the British Reviews, 1802-1850

The professional journal is comparatively new in the history of economics. Most of these journals are the product of the twentieth century, and many, including Economica, began only after the First World War. The Economic Journal started in 1891, when the great issues that had provoked the flowering of economic controversy in the first part of the century either had been laid to rest, or had been revived in a new setting and with new protagonists. The Economist, which one might call a professional journal, although not an academic journal, was founded in 1843, in the twilight of the controversy over tariffs and monetary and banking policy that had sprung from the Napoleonic wars and their aftermath. By then the stage had already been set for the repeal of the Corn Laws and for the Bank Act of 1844, and opposition to the gold standard had almost died out. To find out what British economists were thinking in the first half of the nineteenth century, and to trace the development of modern ideas in an earlier setting, the economist of today turns to the classics of the period-Malthus,iRicardo, Henry Thornton, the Mills; to the books and pamphlets of that tireless salesman of Ricardian economics, John Ramsay McCulloch; to the works of the minor prophets, such as Torrens, Senior, Whately, and Richard Jones; to the extensive pamphlet literature; and to that gift of British government to economists, the minutes of evidence and reports of Parliamentary committees. But comparatively little use has been made of the reviews of the period as a source for the analysis of doctrine, the political setting of economic debates, or for perspective on those perennial issues of economic policy: international trade, banking and the monetary standard, and the care of the unemployed, the incapacitated, and the aged. Individual articles, like Francis Horner's review of Thornton's Paper Credit of Great Britain in the first number of the Edinburgh Review, Malthus' discussion of the bullion controversy in the Edinburgh Review or his treatment of demand in the Quarterly Review, one of Colonel Peronnet Thompson's powerful pleas for free trade in the Westminster Review, or a blast in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine against the gold standard, occasionally are read by economists. But such articles are frequently regarded as somewhat out of place, as economic intrusions in a literary and political journal. Yet the British reviews in the first half of the nineteenth century carried on a continuous debate on economic theory and on economic policy, in which many of the great figures in economics, or in the political guidance of economic

Economic Articles in the Westminister Review and Their Authors, 1824-51

THEWestminster Review, founded in 1824 by Jeremy Bentham, was the last of the four great British reviews that in the first half of the nineteenth century gave extended discussion of the economic issues of the time. A large part of its economic articles dealt with problems that in new settings are still with us, including the relation between government expenditures and employment, the monetary standard, restrictions on international trade, and the role of education in economic progress. Furthermore many of its articles help to illuminate the philosophical and political thinking that gave strength to the laissez faire doctrines of the time. The Edinburgh Review, founded in 1802 by a group of young men of Whig sympathies, from the beginning published many economic articles.' Seven years later a group of Tories started the Quarterly Review, largely to offset the growing influence of the Edinburgh in public affairs. The Quarterly was little interested in economic analysis as such, but was soon forced, as economic issues were linked increasingly with political and social controversies, to give extensive treatment to economic topics, although the emphasis was on the consequences of eco-
