approaches to politics exemplified by Ernesto Laclau's theory of populism and Brian Massumi's affect theory respectively. It presents an analysis of the role the notion of discourse plays in Laclau's conception of populism and argues that his language-based approach to politics precludes him from elaborating on the material side of politics, which includes street protests and the use of media technologies. This paper shows that despite Laclau's attempts to grasp this side of politics by using the

phenomena despite its earlier predominance, is widely studied. Philosophical reflection in the west had ultimately led to the scientific revolution in the 17th Century, however, Joseph Needham and many others who attempted to answer this question had agreed that scientific revolution never occurred in traditional China. This question leads us to trace back to the intrinsic differences between the Chinese and the Western philosophical systems in the pursuit of knowledge, such as social and economic
morality and self-interest. The first comparison I feel relevant between Hobbes and Machiavelli is the difference in methods employed by each of these realists. Firstly, Hobbes was a scholar, whose aim was to put politics onto a scientific footing; he therefore employed a strict logical approach to his work. In contrast, Machiavelli was a man of action; he worked, primarily, as a civil servant of the Florentine Republic. He drew conclusions, having made observations of how people actually behaved rather
MAREYSIA ZALEWSKI AND FEMINIST THEORY OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Mareysia Zalewski, in her very recent book, ‘Feminist International Relations –Exquisite Corpse’ is trying to study the events in International Politics with a feminist perspective that would not directly engage the readers in a conventional way but imaginatively with a set of vignettes. ‘Exquisite Corpse’ refers to the methodological concoction with a symbolic deployment of a set of techniques taken from critical theory.

Though the time- frame is clearly stated in the title, Porter has briefly but sincerely traced the cultural history of healing and doctoring in Europe since the Classical times, both in spiritual and pathological senses, and
The medical mission has its roots in 1838 in Canton, China, when British, American and Chinese missionaries, physicians and businessman created the 'China Medical Missionary Society.' (IAMS 1992) . Medical missions portray the first attempts of the world humanitarianism which, undeniably, triggered later on global health practices. One of the most significant missionary doctors was Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) whose figure took various status both as an object of commemoration and as a global
Every object even though it may appear to our senses as being temporarily stable and permanent is in fact in constant motion, morphing and transforming itself into a different object each instant. Beside this idea he has profound consequences for philosophical thought “for a nothing remains the same for two instance,then knowledge up a sensible world is impossibility”. This means for even if one could obtain knowledge of something in one instant, a mere seconds later that thing will have changed rendering
