This unique book provides a modern discussion of David Hume's work in ethical theory and moral judgment Widely regarded as one of the most important philosophers in Western thinking, David Hume contributed significant works that profoundly influenced the study of ethics and morality. Now, in Walls and Vaults, internationally renowned author Jordan Howard Sobel blends Hume's moral theory with his own groundbreaking observations and employs mathematical thought to explore timeless questions about the grounds of morality, the organization of moral principles, and the rationale for being moral. Blending a modern treatment with a classical perspective, this book presents an illuminating account of Hume's philosophy and the contemporary problems that exist in the metaphysics, language, and logic of morals. Two of Hume's eminent works, A Treatise of Human Nature and An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals, are used as the cornerstone for the discussion of major topics in the study of morality such as virtue theory, cooperation and coordination, error theory, the prisoner's dilemma, and 'Glaucon's Problem', "Why be moral? Why in particular be just?" Concepts from game theory, logic of conditionals, and decision-making are used to illuminate Hume's ideas. The Bayesian methodology of Hume's science of moral ethics is also underscored throughout the text. Detailed appendices located at the end of selected chapters include technical elaborations, and an extensive bibliography directs readers to additional literature on Hume's works. Extensively class-tested and complete with thought-provoking detail, Walls and Vaults is ideal as a supplementary text in philosophy, economics, law, and political science courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels. It also serves as a valuable reference for scholars specializing in ethics, game theory, and the works of David Hume.

The research project of the ''Mechanical characterisation of masonry walls and vaults in a modernist building in Barcelona'' is aimed to validate the criteria for the evaluation and the assessment of the mechanical characterization of masonry elements of the building of Escola Industrial. The first purpose is to understand deeply the behaviour of masonry under compression and the methods to characterize its mechanical parameters that forementioned throughout a comprehensive bibliographical research. Innovative experimental destructive tests are calibrated and carried out in the Laboratory of Structural Technology of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC - BarcelonaTech) and minor destructive techniques are implemented in situ in order to investigate the compressive behaviour of the masonry. For the minor destructive techniques, Windsor Pin Penetrometer test, Screw Helix Pull-out test and Torque Penetrometric test are carried out in situ to preliminarly evaluate the parameters and the compressive strength of the masonry. For the destructive techniques, compressive tests are implemented in brick, tile, stone and mortar specimens and the evaluation of Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio is carried out on brick specimens. The double punch test is investigated on the mortar joints along with the numerical analysis and the verification of the test with an objective to evaluate which parameters influence the assessment of the test and provide a novel contribution to the field as it has never been analysed before. Extraction of core cylinders is a beneficial method since it slightly damages the structure and it is executed both for brick and stone masonry. The extracted cylinders were subjected to compression tests in the laboratory according to the guidelines of UIC 778-3R formed by International Union Railways in order to provide insight on the behaviour and properties of the masonry. A general objective of this study is to encourage future research on these moderate destructive techniques of testing existing masonry, to facilitate the function on the minor destructive techniques on real existing structures in situ, enhance the development of current standards and provide a novel contribution to the field by implementing a completely new numerical study.

There is ample evidence as to how the modern masters, in their shared pursuit of formal inventions and constructional inventions, variously referred to past examples they had freely chosen as guides that could inspire and support them in their strenuous pursuit of new things. The buildings shaped like soft clouds and gelatinous bowels, or the spiked bravura pieces designed by today's fashionable architects have no relation with either construction or history. Louis Kahn, instead, kept form, structure and history paradigmatically together. The book systematically reviews the intense structural experimentation that, in terms not just of building engineering but of spatial and representational potential, marked Kahn's work since the beginning and would eventually lead him, after a long apprenticeship, to an almost constant adoption of 'hollow' structural forms. By reviewing this long and intense journey of research, the book underlines how Louis Kahn, in each work and based on a constant dialogue between structural innovation, building tradition and figural evocation, succeeded in awakening our interest in a new 'fascinating' structure and at the same time our emotion for a deeply meaningful, universal and timeless form.
