The first chapter examines a particular conversation in virtue epistemology, situating virtue epistemology within epistemology and philosophy in general. The second chapter is an explanation and a discussion of three of nonknowledge’s elements and their various features. The second chapter concludes with the original claim that nonknowledge exists in a “threshold” position in relation to knowledge and unor a-knowledge. The third chapter examines the most significant element of nonknowledge—expenditure—and introduces a conceptual framework for nonknowledge as a “general” or “open” economy. Throughout the second and third chapters, we return periodically to the virtue epistemology conversation for points ...

One of those obligations is to comply with the Tri-Agency Framework on the Responsible Conduct of Research. What does 'responsibility' mean and entail? Aspects of the Framework will be explored from both a philosophical and legal perspective. Karen Houle will speak to some key conceptual components such as 'acknowledgement' and even the concept of 'responsibility' itself, arguing that since ethical frameworks are always built upon concepts rather than facts, integrity necessarily always involves more than just knowing and applying the rules. Legal counsel will give a general overview of the Framework and highlight the particular responsibilities of rese...

In addition, Patton has written a number of excellent, widely-reproduced papers in which he backlights key, load-bearing concepts from Deleuze and Guattari such as “the War Machine, ” “the event, ” and “difference,” while preserving their shadowy idiosyncratic beauty as only a scholar of Patton’s calibre can do. Eugene Holland succeeds similarly well with concepts from Anti-Oedipus in his Deleuze and Guattari’s Anti-Oedipus: Introduction to Schizoanalysis (1999).
