Most philosophers attribute the difficulty to the obscurity of truth or the natural weakness of our senses and/or faculties. Perhaps it is not the weakness of our senses or faculties so much as our using them poorly. “This would not be agreeable to the accustomed indulgent methods of Providence…” Introduction: Contra Abstract Ideas Skeptical Chihuahua Sec. 6-9 Abstraction as a false principle and source of error: Berekeley attributes the foundation of a great deal of error and scepticism in philosophy to the notion of abstraction. Per Berkeley, everyone agrees that qualities do not exist completely separate from other qualities and their object, though, some believe that humans can conceptualize certain qualities alone and, by conceptualization, form abstract ideas. Extension/Color/Velocities: the mind examines goups of particular qualities, finds what is common to the group, and then abstracts that common feature by conceiving of it individually. Man/Animal: likewise, the mind considers those simple qualities which are common to complex ideas, like Peter and James, or birds, fish, and men, and then extracts an abstract notion for each group. Sec. 10 We are not capable of true abstraction “I can consider the hand, the eye, the nose, each by itself abstracted or separated from the rest of the body. But then whatever hand or eye I imagine, it must have some particular shape or color… And it is equally impossible for me to form the abstract idea of motion distinct from the body moving." Locke: Abstraction provides a “perfect distinction” between men and animals as there is no evidence that animals do abstract things. It seems that they could not abstract because they do not use words or language. “words become general by being made the signs of general ideas.” Berkeley: “words become general by being made the sign, not of an abstract general idea, but of several particular ideas, any one of which it indifferently suggests to the mind. (divisibility of extension, changes in velocity) An idea, like a word, “becomes general by being made to represent or stand for all other particular ideas of the same sort.” "Algebraic Variable" model of general ideas Sec. 11-12 Locke on abstraction and Berkeley’s replacement theory Sec. 13-14 Abstraction creating incoherent ideas Locke’s example of an abstract idea of a triangle, which embodies all qualities of all triangles at once. Can anyone really conceptualize this? The concept seems incoherent and implausible. Locke says that such a process of learning to abstract is undertaken into adulthood. If this is true, however, then we would have the memory of it. Surely, it wasn’t undertaken in our infant years for the sheer difficulty of the task. Sec. 15-16 Further development of the Algibraic theory of general ideas Q: If the representational idea of a triangle does not embody all qualities of all triangles, then how might one know anything about all triangles? A: The only thing needed to know something of all triangles is the properties which make something a triangle in the first place, so any representative triangle will do. Sec. 17-21 On the origin of abstract ideas as a concept “[I]t is thought that every name has, or ought to have, only one precise and settled signification, which inclines men to think there are certain abstract, determinate ideas, which constitute the true and We

Class Action Lawsuit: Lawrence Berkeley

Transcript: Found the secret medical tests to be in violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights act and federal constitutional privacy guarantees. The tests were determined to be both discriminatory and personally invasive. The US Department of Energy changed its policies and required more clear communication with employees regarding the nature of medical exams. Berkeley halted the syphilis and sickle-cell-trait screenings and women were checked for pregnancy only if they signed a consent form. Berkeley settled for 2.2 million dollars. What Happened? 7 people filed a lawsuit in district court charging the Berkeley Lab with four counts: Failing to provide adequate safeguards to protect the test results from being known to others. Violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Violating the American Disabilities Act. Violating the right to privacy. What was the verdict? Appeals Court The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (run by the U.S. Department of Energy) was performing secret medical testing on employees. What happened in the court case? How did they use the test results? Latinos and African American employees were retested for syphilis during periodic exams. No whites were retested with the exception of one white man who had married a black woman. African Americans were tested several times for the sickle-cell-trait. Women were tested for pregnancy during each exam. Would you consent to having any tests done by your employer? If so, what tests woulds be permissible in your mind? Is there a situation where tests done by an employer could be beneficial, or even necessary? The Lab claimed they posted a sign informing workers of testing. Mark Covington said they withheld information. After the Human Genome Project finished in 2003, efforts were reignited. Congress and the government wanted citizens not to be afraid of having genetic testing done for their own health and the benefit of society. A Bloody Mess at One Federal Lab: Norman-Bloodsaw v. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Reference Articles The federal district judge Vaughn Walker ruled that: There was a lack of demonstration of harm under Title VII. Even though the lab failed to provide a legitimate purpose for the tests, they were still only minimally intrusive. There was also no proof of a connection between the tests and employment status. Several incidents, including the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory secret testing, also made the case for legislation. It was never disclosed whether test results were used as a basis for decisions about hiring, firing, or promotions. The laboratory did say that employee medical records were "considered valuable epidemiologic research records" leading some workers to believe that they were part of a study tracking disease patterns in minority groups. . Who was targeted for retesting? Marya Norman-Bloodsaw recognized the syphilis testing code and was horrified. She then asked several colleagues to request their own medical records so they can compare notes. She and the other employees enlisted the help of Vicki Laden of the Legal Aid Society who combed the medical records of about 70 current and former Berkeley laboratory employees. If a cure for sickle cell anemia had been discovered, would that make what Berkeley did okay? Does the end justify the means? In 2008, after a unanimous vote by the Senate and a near unanimous vote from the House, President George Bush signed into law legislation preventing employers from using genetic material to make hiring, firing or promotion decisions. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/24403453/#.UtgIwmRDv7p http://law.jrank.org/pages/23478/Norman-Bloodsaw-v-Lawrence-Berkeley-Laboratory-Medical-Secrecy-in-California.html http://books.google.com/books?id=8kYTvC0CUVAC&pg=PA191&lpg=PA191&dq=%22lawrence+berkeley+national+laboratory%22+class+action&source=bl&ots=n-oQ7Y6VDJ&sig=XoNUCJrD9-Asqm37iuF2lViFKKY&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vQvWUtegFqqssASn3YC4CQ&ved=0CE4Q6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=%22lawrence%20berkeley%20national%20laboratory%22%20class%20action&f=false http://books.google.com/books?id=M11NGJ7Qn3YC&pg=PT147&lpg=PT147&dq=%22lawrence+berkeley+national+laboratory%22+class+action&source=bl&ots=WzNDM5eAmJ&sig=E022QWfLuCnimEUNMcmVsmRk20c&hl=en&sa=X&ei=xhDWUvrXFKaksQTXh4GgCw&ved=0CCoQ6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=%22lawrence%20berkeley%20national%20laboratory%22%20class%20action&f=false http://law.jrank.org/pages/23478/Norman-Bloodsaw-v-Lawrence-Berkeley-Laboratory-Medical-Secrecy-in-California.html http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/970623/archive_007254.htm http://law.jrank.or/pages/23480/Norman-Bloodsaw-v-Lawrence-Berkeley-Laboratory-impact.html#ixzz2qPbQqwc6 http://law.jrank.org/pages/12809/Norman-Bloodsaw-v-Lawrence-Berkeley-Laboratory.html#ixzz2qPYxtlwE Legislature Discussion Questions Discussion Questions: There have long been government efforts to protect against genetic discrimination.

Berkeley was founded during the gold rush by leaders that formed the newly 31st state Berkeley was made up of two institutions: the private college of Oakland, and the mechanical arts college. It received its name from an eighteenth century irish philosopher George Berkeley.
