Manifest image

When the individual can look into and accept the manifest images of the repressed, he effaces the conditioned interpretation through which alone they are seen as disgusting, meaningless, artificial, or terrifying. The acceptance of the repressed portion of the self is accomplished by the acceptance of the images. Repression has distorted reality by not... 

Although manifest can often be identified in this chapter with macroscopic and scientific with microscopic (and this tends to be Sellars s view), these terms should not be taken as synonyms. Assume a nonmanifest scientific theory that takes certain macroscopic objects as basic objects that are not understood in terms of manifest concepts (e.g., supramacroscopic objects or middle-sized unobservables). Such a theory would be a straightforward part of the scientific image. By contrast, lots of unobservables are postulated in the manifest image." ... 

As when he says that the task of the philosopher is to fuse the manifest and scientific perspective into one "stereoscopic" or "synoptic" view or that the critique he is engaged in is "one which compares this [manifest] image unfavourably with a more intelligible account of what there is" (Sellars, 1963 pp. 4, 18). 

The above analysis is not intended to imply that the Kripke-Putnam theory of reference is free of any criticism. For example, two prominent philosophers of chemistry have objected to it on the basis that it relies too heavily upon micro-reduction. For example, van Brakel espouses a radical anti-reductionism in which he favors the manifest image over micro-reduction. His writings have included a thoroughgoing critique of Kripke s and Putnam s theory and a review of all other critiques that have been made in the context of chemical kinds (van Brakel 2000). Similarly, Needham takes an anti-reductionist approach and prefers to define substances through the Gibbs phase rule (Needham 2005). 

As expected, the Pt(l 11) surface is covered under ambient conditions by the well-known Pt(lll)-(2x2)-0 adlattice which corresponds to Oq -0.25 where the superscript Pt denotes that the coverage is based on the total surface Pt atoms. The measured interatomic distance of 5.61 A (Fig. 5.49a) is in excellent agreement with literature for the Pt(lll)-(2x2)-0 adlatice. As manifest by the Fourier transform spectmm (Fig. 5.49b) of the surface image of Fig. 5.49a there exists on the surface a second hexagonally ordered adlattice,... 

A third, winged figure in this pictorial sequence acts as dux, or guide. It is clear that these figures are drawn from images of the Christian Trinity, as is made manifest in the Undecima Figura ... 

Intrauterine seizures may occur. The electroencephalogram often displays a hypsarrhythmia or a burst-suppression pattern. Patients display myoclonic jerks, hiccuping and a profound hypotonia. The few patients who survive past the first week usually sustain profound mental retardation and neurological disability. Brain imaging shows atrophy and a loss of myelin. Rarely, patients present later in life with psychomotor retardation and growth failure. Others have had initial normal development followed by a progressive loss of developmental milestones. Some patients have manifested spinocerebellar degeneration and other symptoms of motor dysfunction [27],...
