“…435; especially in his De institutis coenobiorum [with eight vices]), can easily be transferred to our own times since most people certainly suffer from some or all of those sins. Similarly, the Seven Virtues or Cardinals (prudence, justice, temperance, fortitude, faith, hope, and charity), as described first by St. Ambrose and subsequently St. Augustine, can be recognized as ideals we all could profit from (Bejczy, 2011; cf. also the useful overview, online at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_virtues#CITEREFBejczy2011).…”

In light of countless problems, the modern world faces, especially religious fanaticism, violence, and hatred, it is high time to reflect on some of the older literary statements once again that had already voiced critical concerns about the principles of human interaction determined by good communication, love, and tolerance. Maybe surprisingly, when we turn to Lessing’s Nathan der Weise (1779), we come across a major literary document in which those ideals are formulated convincingly and dramatically. While German scholarship has already discussed this play for a long time, it deserves much wider attention because of its strong advocation of those ideals, which we are in the highest need as of today.

“…During the development of Publication 138 (ICRP, 2018), ‘prudence’ proved to be difficult to translate from English, and we often struggled to distinguish it from ‘overly precautious’. One way to make this distinction more clear is to consider allegories of prudence; as one of the four cardinal virtues adopted from Plato’s ‘Republic’ into Christian theology, prudence is quite prevalent in classical Western art (Bejczy, 2011). For example, Fig.…”

The present system of radiological protection has evolved with the advancement of science; evolution of ethical and societal values; and the lessons of our individual, collective, and historical experience. In communicating with each other and members of the public, words are often not enough to completely relay thoughts, ideas, or experiences. Art is a shared experience, beyond the spoken language, where many can find common ground. This paper provides several examples of utilising the visual arts, cinema, and popular culture for communication in different contexts, with discussion of how each relates to the ethical values of the system of radiological protection. In this way, we find inter-relationships between science, ethics, and experience. Experience improves understanding; empathy, or the awareness and feeling of another’s experience, can lead to similar understanding. Drawing on art and the broader human experience will help us improve our communication, promote transparency, and encourage empathy. Through this, we will be more likely to develop trust with stakeholders, which is an essential, yet challenging, aspect of radiological protection.

This article explores a neglected period in the history of classical scholarship: the first decades of the eighteenth century. It focuses on the tension between an evolving idea of method, and the tradition of personal polemic which had been an important part of the culture of scholarship since the Renaissance. There are two case studies: the conflict between Jean Le Clerc and Pieter Burman, and the controversy that followed Richard Bentley's edition of Horace's Odes. Both demonstrate the need to revise current paradigms for writing the history of scholarship, and invite us to reconsider the role of methodology in producing of scholarly authority.
