The unique role of strangeness in nuclear physics has recently attracted much attention, from both the theoretical and experimental viewpoints. This is due not only to the broad spectrum of possible hadron many-body systems with strangeness, but also to the fact that strangeness gives us an opportunity to study fundamental baryon-baryon interactions in a new perspective. Our knowledge of this subject has widened as the scope of hypernuclear experiments has expanded from strangeness exchange and the associated production reactions to hypernuclear weak decays, ß decays, cascade hypernuclei, doub

Al centro dell’attenzione di Waldenfels è il tema dell’estraneità, considerato, in controtendenza con le teorie più diffuse, elemento originario dell’esperienza. La sua fenomenologia mette a fuoco tutti i passaggi in cui l’ordinario e lo straordinario, il soggetto e l’altro si intrecciano. Ne viene un’analisi minuziosa e appassionante della vita quotidiana, ma anche dell’arte e dei modi della rappresentazione fino a un ripensamento delle forme della politica e a un abbozzo di etica fondata sul primato dell’attenzione. In tal modo la filosofia di Waldenfels fa vedere al lettore come nei diversi fenomeni dell’esperienza sia sempre presente come motivo originario una stra-ordinarietà a cui è opportuno prestare attenzione perché un ordine possa costituirsi, nella vita ma pure nella politica e nell’arte. Il volume si colloca al centro dei dibattiti filosofici contemporanei e dialoga criticamente con i maggiori autori degli ultimi decenni: Foucault, Derrida, Levinas, Marion in Francia; Henrich e Habermas in Germania, ma attinge anche ampiamente alla letteratura, all’arte e alla musica, così da offrire anche al lettore non specialista copia di osservazioni acute e illuminanti.

Richard Kearney is one of the leading global thinkers in both Continental philosophy and post-metaphysical philosophy of religion, as well as an esteemed Irish professor in philosophy, currently teaching at Boston College, Massachusetts, USA. Professor Kearney first visited South Africa in May as joint visiting academic of the Universities of Stellenbosch, Pretoria and North-West. The visit prompted the publication of this scholarly collected work, authored by South African and international scholars. These specialists in philosophy and religious studies analysed Kearney’s influential work and brought his scholarly perspectives into dialogue with other leading thinkers in the field, both from Africa and abroad. This publication will be the first collective attempt to engage his work from the perspective of the African continent. This collected work contributes significantly in an interdisciplinary way to Ricoeurdian studies. The target audience of the book is peers and specialists in the field of Continental philosophy and philosophy of religion.

This thesis discusses two key topics: strangeness and charge symmetry violation (CSV) in the nucleon. It also provides a pedagogical introduction to chiral effective field theory tailored to the high-precision era of lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Because the nucleon has zero net strangeness, strange observables give tremendous insight into the nature of the vacuum; they can only arise through quantum fluctuations in which strange–antistrange quark pairs are generated. As a result, the precise values of these quantities within QCD are important in physics arenas as diverse as precision tests of QCD, searches for physics beyond the Standard Model, and the interpretation of dark matter direct-detection experiments. Similarly, the precise knowledge of CSV observables has, with increasing experimental precision, become essential to the interpretation of many searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this thesis, the numerical lattice gauge theory approach to QCD is combined with the chiral perturbation theory formalism to determine strange and CSV quantities in a diverse range of observables including the octet baryon masses, sigma terms, electromagnetic form factors, and parton distribution functions. This thesis builds a comprehensive and coherent picture of the current status of understanding of strangeness and charge symmetry violation in the nucleon.

The book edition of the Universe Special Issue “Compact Stars in the QCD Phase Diagram” is devoted to the overarching aspects shared between heavy-ion collisions and compact star astrophysics in investigating the hadron-to-quark matter phase transition in the equation of state of strongly interacting matter in different regions of the phase diagram of QCD. It comprises 22 review and research articles that, together, will serve as a useful guide in educating both young and senior scientists in this emerging field that represents an intersection of the communities of strongly interacting matter theory, heavy-ion collision physics and compact star astrophysics.
