South American Palm Seeds (Orbignya sp.) in Dutch Shipwrecks

Abstract

In this note we report the discovery of some palm seeds (Orbignya sp.) from three shipwrecks in the Netherlands. They all date from the second half of the 17th century. Some palm seeds, published as Attalea funifera, were already known from the Dutch coast.     

Probable Fibres from Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) in Bronze Age Scotland

Abstract

Diameter measurements of bast fibres from cloth and string with a hoard of bronze age metalwork found in St Andrews, were different from those of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) but comparable with those of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) leading to the suggestion that hemp was used as a textile fibre in Britain much earlier than has been thought.

On the Paradoxical Place of Political Philosophy in the Structure of Reality

The decline of community in America has become a major preoccupation of present-day political theory. Contemporary theorists frequently lament the erosion of civic spirit and social ties in modern society. And increasingly, they trace that erosion back to the calculating “selfishness” of the modern individual. Once celebrated for liberating human beings from the repressive restraints of premodern tradition, modern individualism is today often blamed for the disintegration of smaller communities, such as families and neighborhoods, that humanize society. Thus, as Western jurisprudence makes him ever more aware of his “rights” as an individual, democratic man paradoxically finds himself criticized for being too self-interested and for not taking his social responsibilities seriously enough.
