“…The binary dependent variable negative sentiment in a comment was manually detected and coded as present , when the following paraphrase described the utterance correctly: The Facebook commenter had the aim to express a negative emotion, attitude, or affective state in reaction to a corresponding post about innovative diabetes treatments. Signal examples were expressions of indifference, habituation, boredom, aversion, disgust, revulsion, alarm, panic, fear, anxiety, dread, anger, rage, sorrow, grief, frustration, disappointment, discontentment, and restlessness [21-23].…”

BackgroundAlthough experts agree that Web-based health information often contains exaggeration and misrepresentation of science, it is not yet known how this information affects the readers’ sentiments.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate whether specific aspects of Web-based diabetes research news are associated with positive or negative sentiments in readers.MethodsA retrospective observational study of the comments on diabetes research news posted on Facebook pages was conducted as a function of the innovations’ developmental phase, the intended treatment effect, and the use of strong language to intensify the news messages (superlatives). Data for the investigation were drawn from the diabetes research news posted between January 2014 and January 2018 on the two largest Dutch Facebook pages on diabetes and the corresponding reader comments. By manually coding these Facebook user comments, three binary outcome variables were created, reflecting the presence of a positive sentiment, the presence of a negative sentiment, and the presence of a statement expressing hopefulness.ResultsFacebook users made a total of 3710 comments on 173 diabetes research news posts that were eligible for further analysis. Facebook user comments on posts about diabetes prevention (odds ratio [OR] 0.55, 95% CI 0.37-0.84), improved blood glucose regulation (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.56-0.84), and symptom relief (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.21-0.44) were associated with less positive sentiments as compared with potential diabetes cures. Furthermore, comments on innovations supported by preclinical evidence in animals were associated with more positive sentiments (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.07-1.99) and statements expressing hope (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.01-2.14), when compared with innovations that have evidence from large human trials. This study found no evidence for the associations between language intensification of the news posts and the readers’ sentiments.ConclusionsOur finding that the attitudes toward diabetes research news on Facebook are most positive when clinical efficacy is not (or not yet) proven in large patient trials suggests that news authors and editors, as well as medical professionals, must exercise caution when acting as a conduit for diabetes research news.

“…464 By 1799, he had determined the need for a German translation of Plato's complete works and had begun corresponding with Friedrich Schleiermacher about the project -what would eventually become the most celebrated contribution of German Idealism to the history of Platonic reception. 465 A rational Platonism of Ideas and a poetic Platonism of enthusiasm Among the translations and new editions of Plato that preceded Schleiermacher's magnum opus, however, two might be worth mentioning as a way of thinking about two major channels of Platonism that contributed to the intellectual background to German Idealism. The first is a loose translation of the Phaedo by Moses Mendelssohn, though perhaps the work might be more accurately described as an adaptation.…”

Plato and the Mythic Tradition in Political Thought

Plato and the Mythic Tradition in Political Thought examines a tradition of political thinkers who sought to understand the place of myth in politics, and who in particular turned to Plato for guidance in their efforts. At different junctures in the history of the reception of Plato, the myths that Plato wrote inspired both imitation as well as theoretical reflection on the relationship between myth, philosophy, and politics. As such, it is possible to speak of a coherent, specifically Platonic tradition of writing and thinking about myth. If Plato has long been celebrated for making reasoned argument the foundation of philosophy, this dissertation recovers a neglected tradition in the reception of Plato, in a discipline dominated by a different aspect of both Plato and his legacy.In turn, a revised understanding of Plato's legacy on these terms opens up a broader theoretical discourse concerning the role of myth in political thought. Myth is often construed as the opposite of reason, and is thought to be alternately irrelevant to, or undesirable in, a politics committed to ideals of rational progress. Plato and the Mythic Tradition challenges this prevailing bias. It shows how some of the most pivotal figures in the history of political thought have perennially raised the question of whether there might be a more nuanced, constructive role for myth to play in political theory.xi For the past nine years and counting, Marianne Bauer has been my interlocutor on all matters of the mind, heart, and soul. So much of what is contained in these pages began as halfformed thoughts written out in emails to her.Finally, I am grateful to my family: to my inspiring sisters, Bee-Seon and Bo-Won, and to my parents, to whom I never got around to explaining what I was writing about, but who never doubted for a moment that it was something worthwhile. This dissertation was possible because of their quiet support from afar.

“…Among the former are: (1) the historical fact that there were ancient attempts to discover the Platonic reading order, (2) every attempt to discover the synthetic unity of a 75 Although Ficino had changed his mind by 1484 (Bowe 2007, 247-8), it is reasonable to suppose that those who revived Plato in the West were disposed to ignore reading order from the start.

In other words, if it is worthwhile to entertain the reading order hypothesis, that investigation must not begin with a restricted set of dialogues.…”

Reading order and authenticity: the place of Theages and Cleitophon in platonic pedagogy

The purpose of this paper is to show that a reconstruction of "the reading order of Plato's dialogues" 1 can be used as the basis for a new kind of argument for the authenticity of dubia like Theages and Cleitophon. 2 Certainly the unwillingness of 21 st century scholars to trust dogmatic pronouncements about Plato's intentions-on the basis of which an earlier generation could assert that this or that dialogue was "un-Platonic" or "unworthy of Plato" (Grote 1865, 430) 3-has had the salutary effect of revitalizing the important question of how Plato, and thus how much of him, should be read. But despite the opening provided by this distrust where authenticity is concerned, I should emphasize from the start that a project based on reading order presupposes that Plato had discernable intentions, above all: the intention to teach and to teach well. The comments of two anonymous readers have been very valuable. 1 See Altman 2010a. 2 I will apply the term dubia both to those dialogues among those recognized as authentic by Thrasyllus that have had defenders (the dubia proper; see Souihlé 1930) and those that, for the most part, have not, a classification by which a dialogue like Hipparchus would belong among the spuria not the dubia. I would restrict the term "spuria" to dialogues like Axiochus (Souihlé's "dialogues apocryphes") about which I will have nothing to say here. Rowe 2007, 198-9 represents current opinion on the Platonic dubia. There is also some question as to the spelling of "Cleitophon" which I have hesitantly adopted, over the purist's reasonable objections, in preference to an overly radical transliteration Kleitophon and the equally consistent but otherwise unfortunate Clitophon.
