DESCARTES’ ON SKEPTICISM[ ]


In this paper I would like to explore Descartes’s take on Skepticism. Descartes is undoubtedly the father of modern philosophy. Modern philosophy is characterized by its revolt against Aristotle and the Aristotelian spirit that was hovering throughout the period of medieval philosophy. Opposition to Aristotle was Descartes’s major occupation. His Meditations attempted to introduce foundations of his own physics against those of Aristotle.

POLITIQUE, AMOUR ET NOSTALGIE DANS LA POESIE DE UNIMNA ANGREY : REFLEXIONS SUR SURSAUTS[ ]


La Poésie fait rêver. La poésie, selon Stéphane Mallarmé, n’est que pour les initiés. La vérité de ce constat mallarméen réside dans le fait que lors de ses rêveries, le poète organise ses pensées à l’aide des symboles statiques et les symboles dynamiques. Ces symboles deviennent la clé qui-nous offre la possibilité de deviner l’état d’âme d’un poète afin de déchiffrer ou dégager le sens de sa poésie.

Market Expansion Strategy for Teleradiology Services into Resource-Poor Healthcare Set-ups[ ]


Healthcare sector is facing healthcare resource shortage globally and an acute doctor shortage in India is having a detrimental effect on healthcare outcomes. Resource-poor hospitals specifically struggle in this phenomenon on account of 4 reasons: not being able to hire enough doctors, poor infrastructure, cost of care and finally the compromised quality. Radiology is one such specialty which is very vital, scarce and is facing all above-mentioned challenges. Developing countries being resource-poor, specifically India which is the 2nd largest populated country in the world, is constantly struggling to provide quality care at low cost and improve healthcare outcomes.
