text: Of the many outstanding female philosophers of the European Enlightenment,
Emilie Du Châtelet excelled as a physicist, a philosopher, and a mathematician,
as well as a Bible critic. She was famous in her lifetime and was not completely
forgotten thereafter. Among her admirers, correspondents and friends were the
most acknowledged scholars of her time, including Voltaire, Clairault, Maupertuis,
Diderot, Helvetius, La Mettrie, Buffon, Christian Wolff, Leonard Euler, and Johann
II Bernoulli. Her philosophical work enjoyed high reputation and her opus magnum,
the Institutions physiques, was translated into Italian and German and proved
her to be an intellectual of European stature. Its defense of living forces and
its implied forecast into dynamics as well as her methodological grounding of
scientific knowledge as hypothetical, impacted philosophy and science. Reality
must by nature escape us. What we perceive are phenomena. Du Châtelet explains
the function of space and time to trace us back to the origin of phenomena. Her
influence on Kant is evident. Next to her writings in physics, mathematics, philosophy,
language, and logic, she contributed to morality and ethics. Du Châtelet left
an opus of quite systematic breadth. This impressive publishing activity excels
in the amount of its scientific and philosophical production to which a vast collection
of manuscripts must be added.She argued against prejudice and idolatry in philosophy
and science. Science is a cooperative undertaking over history and beyond nations.
Her moral writings align with ideas of the French materialists. Du Châtelet translated
and commented on Newton’s Principia, preparing thus the fertile soil of the generation
of physicists to come in France.

text: In the present study, we examined whether the detection advantage for negative-face
targets in crowds of positive-face distractors over positive-face targets in crowds
of negative faces can be explained by differentially efficient distractor rejection.
Search Condition A demonstrated more efficient distractor rejection with negative-face
targets in positive-face crowds than vice versa. Search Condition B showed that
target identity alone is not sufficient to account for this effect, because there
was no difference in processing efficiency for positive- and negative-face targets
within neutral crowds. Search Condition C showed differentially efficient processing
with neutral-face targets among positive- or negative-face distractors. These
results were obtained with both a within-participants (Experiment 1) and a between-participants
(Experiment 2) design. The pattern of results is consistent with the assumption
that efficient rejection of positive (more homogenous) distractors is an im
