TL;DR: The Tao is the mother of all-under-heaven as discussed by the authors, and it is called the Tao because it proceeds everywhere, yet meets with no peril, and is unchanging.
Abstract: There was a thing beyond all power to resolve yet latent with form, before heaven-and-earth born. How still it is! How amorphous! Alone it stood, unchanging. It proceeds everywhere, yet meets with no peril. One may deem it the mother of all-under-heaven. I know not its name, but byname it the Tao. If forced to frame a name for it, I should call it Great. Great means passing beyond, and passing beyond means far-going; The furtherest far-going means returning.1 Therefore the Tao is Great, Heaven is Great, Earth is Great,

TL;DR: In this article, the authors make a great deal of the three tenses involved in individual and social action: social sciences are retrospective; social ethic is prospective; the ethicist and the policy maker stand at the boundary of past and future in discerning the possibility of historical fulfilment.
Abstract: good to the problem of how to determine what is good. Winter makes a great deal of the three tenses involved in individual and social action: social sciences are retrospective; social ethic is prospective; the ethicist and the policy maker stand at the boundary of past and future in discerning the possibility of historical fulfilment (p. 278). But there are many styles of retrospection and many styles of prospection, and policy making usually takes the form of agitating or lobbying for one set of actions favored with no other warrant than citation of one set of facts selected by the same style and automatically in accord with the advocated objectives and the proposed means to achieve them. Social ethic will provide methods of considering alternative alleged facts and of weighing alternative proposed objectives. One way of moving to the formation of such methods will be to consider more seriously the methods of the different styles. Winter advocates the method of hermeneutics in the construction of a substantive social ethic to bridge from past to future in the present. But hermeneutics or \"grammatical\" interpretation is not enough to state and solve moral problems: it focuses on facts and values even when they are joined in the omni-possible. The method of selection or \"rhetorical\" invention focuses on initiatives and aspirations as past and future elements in the omni-present. The method of thematic or \"logical\" consequences focuses on modes of functioning established or to be established in the omni-desirable. The method of postulational or \" dialecti-

TL;DR: A project that has created a Topic Map search tool for a mathematics educational database containing articles from the journal For the Learning of Mathematics enables users to retrieve research articles based on a variety of topics such as mathematics classification, research methods, educational objectives, in addition to traditional bibliographic information.
Abstract: This paper describes a project that has created a Topic Map search tool for a mathematics educational database containing articles from the journal For the Learning of Mathematics. The resulting website enables users to retrieve research articles based on a variety of topics such as mathematics classification, research methods, educational objectives, in addition to traditional bibliographic information. Cet article decrit le projet de creation d’un outil de recherche par carte thematique pour une base de donnees en enseignement des mathematiques contenant des articles de la revue For the Learning of Mathematics. Le site Web resultant du projet permet aux utilisateurs de chercher et d’extraire des articles de recherche portant sur un grand nombre de themes tels que la classification des mathematiques, les methodes de recherche, les objectifs educatifs, en plus de l'information bibliographique traditionnelle.

TL;DR: In this article, the distinction between formal logic and social scientists' study of norms is made clear, and the two investigations are separable, though of course they do impinge upon each other.
Abstract: As Professor von Wright’s title indicates, his paper is concerned with two distinguishable questions, the first having to do with formal logic, the second with the possibility of “fruitful applications to ethics or to legal theory or to the social scientists’ study of norms”. His discussion seems to make it quite clear to me, at any rate, that the two investigations are separable, though of course they do impinge upon each other, and I agree that a study of the relations between the two is worth the effort. But I would like to make a couple of remarks at the outset about how I conceive the distinction between the two topics to be drawn.
