Reconciling and Validating the Cloud Thickness and Liquid Water Path Tendencies Proposed by R. Wood and J. J. van der Dussen et al.

Abstract A detailed derivation of stratocumulus cloud thickness and liquid water path tendencies as a function of the well-mixed boundary layer mass, heat, and moisture budget equations is presented. The derivation corrects an error in the cloud thickness tendency equation derived by R. Wood to make it consistent with the liquid water path tendency equation derived by J. J. van der Dussen et al. The validity of the tendency equations is then tested against the output of large-eddy simulations of a typical stratocumulus-topped boundary layer case and is found to be in good agreement.

The old Nietzschean question raised again: how much past do we need for having a healthy life?

The question of how much past do we need for having a healthy life has been most famously asked by Friedrich Nietzsche in his On the Use and Abuse of History for Life, written in 1873 and published next year. Here it is re-asked, 140 years later, to five respondents of respected reputation in the field of philosophy of history, namely Frank Ankersmit, Sande Cohen, Jan van der Dussen, Allan Megill, and Jörn Rüsen. The original dialogical form of the interviews, in which the question of healthy relationship between past and future has been also addressed, was transformed into continuous responses and preceded by some introductory remarks. Each of the answers gathered is unique but they all put emphasis on the proper balance between different dimensions of time for a healthy life of an individual. In addition, Frank Ankersmit comments on St. Augustine's thesis that I am what I remember, Sande Cohen pays attention to conflicting pasts of different social groups, Jan van der Dussen emphasizes the fact of unpredictability and uncertainty of the future prevailing today, Allan Megill explains the difference between passive and active forgetting, and Jörn Rüsen stresses the multidimensionality of the phenomenon of time and the neurotic dimension of accelerating modernity.

Historical Re-Enactment, Literary Transmission, and the Value of R. G. Collingwood

The purpose of this essay is to commend the insights of R. G. Collingwood on the subject of cultural continuity and change to an interdisciplinary audience that includes literary critics. Collingwood's Idea of History is widely explored by specialist philosophers of history (such as Louis O. Mink, Jan van der Dussen and William H. Dray), while his Principles of Art, though lacking a modern edition, has continued to occupy the attention of professional philosophers of art.1 Other important strands in recent interpretation of Collingwood include his work as a political theorist (as examined by David Boucher), or as a metaphysician (as explored by Rex Martin). There was also at one time a widespread interest in Collingwood among writers and literary critics, but after about 1970, with the tide of continental theory, this enthusiasm seems to have dwindled.2 From around that time literary critics interested in the theory of historical literary study have tended to turn to the forms of 'new historicism' and such continental writers as Lyotard, Derrida, and Foucault. Writing in 1979 of M. H. Abrams's attempt to perform 'literary criticism through history', Wayne C. Booth observed: 'the unfortunate truth is that very few critics these days read Collingwood, let alone actually use him'.3 And yet there is every reason to think that Collingwood still has much to teach the literary critic, the literary historian, and the literary theorist. Collingwood's varied literary-imaginative experience (apparent in his commentaries on T. S. Eliot or Jane Austen, for example) clearly contributed to his conceptualization of broad social, cultural, and metaphysical questions,4 and the recent 'turn to history' evident in critical circles should serve to draw fresh attention to Collingwood's reconstructive conception of the historian's work. Critics such as HansGeorg Gadamer, Hans Robert Jauss, Wolfgang Iser, Hayden White, and Paul Ricoeur have enjoyed a wide reception in the literary field, and their various references to Collingwood suggest his historical thinking bears

Hendrick Cornelisz. van Vliet: Het gezin van Michiel van der Dussen

AbstractSince I998 the Stedelijk Museum Het Prinsenhofin Delft owns a family portrait by Hendrick Cornelisz van Vliet. Signed in full and dated I640, the painting shows a wealthy and — in view of the details—Catholic family with five children. It predates Van Vliet's well-known architectural paintings by more than a decade, and is therefore very significant for our knowledge of his early oeuvre. In this article, however, attention is focused on the painting's unusual position in the pictorial and iconographic tradition of the North Netherlandish family portrait. We see a husband and wife with their five children, the sons making music with their father. Contrary to what is frequently stated in the literature, i.e. that music is an important attribute in the depiction of harmonieus family life, music hardly features at all in North Netherlandish family portraits of the first half of the seventeenth century. Highly exceptional in Van Vliet's painting is the circumstance that only the males are making music, as is the choice of instruments. The recorders, popular instruments but unique in the tradition of the group portrait, suggest that the sitters were fond of the instrument and wished to be portrayed while engaged in their favourite pastime. The instrument and the music book of the two sons, combined with the other children's attributes, hint at a representation of the five senses. The daughters are respectively depicted with a pecking parakeet (touch), a basket of fruit (taste) and flowers (smell). In this context the sons' attributes stand for hearing and sight, the two most highly ranked senses. With the aid of details in the painting — the obvious references to Catholic religion, the precise dating of the work and the name 'Michiel' in the piece on the music stand — the sitters have been identified as Michiel van der Dussen and Willemina van Setten with their five children: Cornelis, Otto, Anna, Maria and Elizabeth. This insubstantiates the traditional identification of another painting in the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp as Michiel van der Dussen's family. The Van der Dussens were prominent regents in Delft; however, Michiel's branch of the family was Catholic and thus excluded from holding official executive positions in Delft. They must therefore have been active in other spheres. They are not recorded as having pursued a particular profession; their wealth seems to have accrued from their ownership of property and land. The Van der Dussens are likely to have been of independent means due to the family's erstwhile noble status. Their higher ambitions were confirmed by the marriage of a granddaughter of Michiel van der Dussen to a Baron van Leefdael. This family portrait with its extremely rich imagery, painted in a period when repression of the Catholics in Delft was at its strongest, represents the selfconndence and ambitions of a Catholic family.

Stories of war origins: a narrativist theory of the causes of war

All history is tendentious, and if it were not tendentious nobody would write it. R. G. Collingwood, The Idea of History , rev. edn, ed. Jan Van Der Dussen (Oxford, 1994), p. 398. History is therefore never history, but history-for. C. Levi-Strauss, The Savage Mind (La Pensee sauvage) (London, 1972), p. 257. This is reminiscent of Robert Cox's much-quoted statement that '[t]heory is always for someone and for some purpose'. See his 'Social Forces, States and World Order: Beyond International Relations Theory', Millennium , 10 (1981), pp. 126-55, at p. 128. Introduction War is a multi-causal phenomenon, not only in the oft-noted sense that a variety of factors contribute to the making of a war, but also in the perhaps less obvious sense that there are multifarious casual paths to war. Some of the more idiographically minded are adamant, therefore, that 'the only investigation of the causes of war that is intellectually respectable is that of the unique origins ... of the particular past wars'. A. Seabury and A. Codevilla, War: Ends and Means (New York, 1989), p. 50; emphasis in original. And even one of the more nomothetically minded has conceded, some dissentign voices notwithstanding, that 'the hope that there are a few necessary conditions that must always be present in order for war to occur is probably not going to be fulfilled'. J. A. Vasquez, The War Puzzle (Cambridge, 1993), p. 48. For a dissenting voice, see B. Bueno de Mesquita, The War Trap (New Haven, CT, 1981). Vasquez, however, goes on to suggest three necessary conditions of 'world wars'. For a brief, critical discussion of Bueno de Mesquita and Vasquez, see my On the Causes of War , pp. 74-9.

Is "The Theory of History" (1914) Collingwood's First Essay on the Philosophy of History?

Upon R. G. Collingwood's death in January 1943, his unpublished papers became the property of his estate, and were subsequently used by T. M. Knox in the preparation of two posthumous works, Idea of Nature (1945) and Idea of History (1946). In 1978 the collection was deposited in the Bodleian, and has since been catalogued and described by W. J. van der Dussen and Donald Taylor. 1 It was Collingwood's intention, expressed in his will and since respected by his executors, that none of his correspondence, lectures, or essays, those in preparation for the press at the time of his death being obvious exceptions, should be published. Bodleian collection nevertheless provides an invaluable scholarly aid to the interpretation of Collingwood's intellectual biography, and to this resource the papers at Magdalen form an important appendix. Collingwood manuscripts in the J. A. Smith collection at Magdalen College, Oxford consist of three letters to John Alexander Smith (1863-1939), Waynflete Professor of Moral and Metaphysical Philosophy from 1909 to 19342 and a typescript, unsigned but, I shall argue, probably Collingwood's, titled The Theory of History. Both the correspondence with Smith and the book-length typescript are important for any secure interpretation of the development of Collingwood's thought. letters clarify Collingwood's relation to J. A. Smith and explain his stance on several points, while The Theory of History, written in 1914, if Collingwood's, is his earliest essay on the philosophy of history. Smith papers at Magdalen archives, with the smaller collection at Balliol, are the literary remains of Oxford's last great professorial advocate of the syncretic classicism called by historians, with doubtful justice, idealism: Plato and

The Later Collingwood's Alleged Historicism and Relativism

The Later Collingwood's Alleged Historicism and Relativism TARIQ MODOOD IN HIS Autobiography (Oxford, 1938 ) and Essay on Metaphysics (Oxford, x94o) R. G. Collingwood declared that philosophy was a study of historical facts, that its subject matter was an aspect of the historical process.' T. M. Knox, writing shortly after Collingwood's death in 194 3, claimed that, contrary to Coilingwood 's own protestations that he had developed such views in his youth and been guided by them since, such declarations marked a radical change from his earlier work, the Essay of Philosophical Method (Oxford, 1933), and, moreover , constituted a historical relativism.~ I think that Knox is wrong on both I thank David Boucher, James Connelly, and Alan Milne for their comments on an earlier draft of this paper. i A shorter version of this paper was presented to the Politics Staff Seminar, University College, Swansea in 1979. It was written without knowledge of Collingwood'sunpublished manuscripts , recently made available to the Bodleian Library, Universityof Oxford, by his family. The manuscripts strengthen my argument and I have accordingly included reference to them though I believethat it is a virtue of my interpretation that it is sustainable by reference to Collingwood's publications alone. This is perhaps of some importance, for Collingwood in his will of December 21, 1942 forbade publication of all manuscripts other than those prepared by himself for publication . A full Iist of the Bodleian manuscripts can be found in W.J. Van Der Dussen, Historyas a Science:ThePhilosophyofR. G. CoUingwood(The Hague, 198l), 445-54. The most inportant of the manuscripts relevant to philosophy of history are copiously quoted and summarized therein, making it a useful source-book.James Connelly does the same for those manuscripts relevant to social and political theory in his Ph.D. thesis "Metaphysics, Method and Politics: Unity in the Political Philosophy of R. G. Collingwood" (University of Southampton, 1984). The bibliography compiled by Donald S. Taylor (Historyand Theory, Beiheft 24, vol. 24 [1985]), with selective annotation on works of particular relevance to philosophy of history and of art, is the most comprehensive now available. I would like to thank Ms. Theresa Smith for permission to quote from these manuscripts. See Knox's Preface to R. G. Collingwood, IdeaofHistory(Oxford, 1946) (hereafter IH), xi, xiii. Knox's views on these two points have been accepted by many, most importantly by Alan [lol] 102 JOURNAL OF THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY 27: ~ JANUARY ~989 counts; however, I do not intend to argue that Collingwood's own account of his intellectual development is the correct one, nor, as Mink does, that Coilingwood 's major works must be seen as lines of a single pattern,~ let alone, as Rubinoff holds, that they form a "systematic unity in which every moment has been systematically anticipated from the very beginning."4 My argument will be that despite some inconsistencies and some variation in terminology, Collingwood 's later views on philosophy are not an abandonment, but a critical modification of his earlier views principally because of a new focus of interest and do not involve him in any form of relativism.5 To understand what Collingwood could have meant by insisting that the subject matter of philosophy was historical, one has to remember that such a position (and especially such a formula) was a response to what he took to be prevailing and increasingly influential distortions of the nature of philosophy and metaphysics at the time. The Autobiography(hereafter A) was such a response to those whom Collingwood called 'realists'6and the EssayofMetaphysics (hereafter EOM) to the logical positivists, especially to A. J. Ayer's Language, Truth and Logic(London, 1936). The views of the 'realists', according to him, were not only false but dangerous, not least because by believing that the "problems with which philosophy is concerned were unchanging,"7 they gave rise to confused but plausible attacks on philosophy and metaphysics, such as Ayer's. Ayer's attack on metaphysics is premised on the view that metaphysics is about a special category of objects such as the Absolute. Not being able to find such objects in the world of observed experience, he concludes that metaphysical propositions such as...
