Fregoli syndrome is not just of historical interest to today\u2019s clinicians: it also allows us to separate out certain fundamental elements of what is ordinarily called recognition, elements that appear only in more indirect ways and latent forms in neurosis and in everyday psychopathology. The analysis of this syndrome therefore gives us access to the various elements of the matrix function for representation that Lacan described under the term <em>specular knowledge<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">All correspondence regarding this article should be addressed to St\u00e9phane Thibierge, 11, rue Nicolas Charlet, 75015 Paris, France.

Stedman, University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio and Thomas L. Spalding and Christina L. Gagn\u00e9, University of Alberta<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The majority of cognitive psychologists, when pressed, would hold for scientific realism as their philosophy of science and ontological position. However, it is functionalism which undergirds the ontology of scientific realism. Moreover, functionalists claim that cognitive psychology, including sensation, perception, memory, and the higher cognitive functions, can be fully accounted for by functionalism. The question is then: Is functionalism up to the task? Recently, Spalding and Gagn\u00e9 (2013) made the case that concept formation, a key element in all aspects of higher order cognition, can be better accounted for by an Aristotelian\u2013Thomistic (A\u200a\u2013\u200aT) meta-theory, and Stedman (2013) pointed out parallels\u00a0between Aristotle\u2019s model and current cognitive psychology. This essay argues that the A\u200a\u2013\u200aT viewpoint is a better model for all elements of cognitive psychology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to James M.

Reason, London, United Kingdom<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I present a logical proof that computing machines, and by extension physical systems, can never be certain if they possess conscious awareness. This implies that human consciousness is associated with a violation of energy conservation. I examine the significance that a particular interpretation of quantum mechanics, known as single mind Q, might have for the detection of such a violation. Finally I apply single mind Q to the problem of free will as it arises in some celebrated experiments by Libet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Catherine M.

The doctrine has had a number of supporters but to date has not received from its proponents the comprehensive and systematic treatment that might be expected. In this paper I outline the key features of the appearance-is-reality doctrine along with the case for thinking that doctrine to be true. I also defend the doctrine from some objections. Finally, I spell out the important metaphysical and epistemological implications of the appearance-is-reality doctrine of mind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Demian Whiting, Ph.D., School of Politics, Philosophy and International Studies, University of Hull, Kingston-upon-Hull HU6 7RX, United Kingdom.
