Bevidsthedsfilosofi

Simultaneously living through and sharing a conversation which the world is deprived of; not having the slightest idea that such a thing exists in us, let alone out there. The ambiguity of what HD is all about is intense enough for many to be shocked by it. Can we see this intensity for what it is rather than define it and explain it away? And maybe an organic process of redefinition starts to take place as we go along ~ AK Within a couple of weeks, they met, fell in love and started a family. It all happened very quickly. But they were not two teenagers caught up in a romantic illusion. Instead, they are two people a generation apart and from widely different cultures; they are two human beings in thrall to the joy of living through the exploration of their own immediate relationship, which apparently seems to have no end or limitation, a relationship unclouded by the usual concerns of sexual desire, economic success and social ambition. Their family includes you, whether you read this book or not. But only those of you who read this book and join their exploration will know the same joy - because their relationship is your relationship, which is all human relationship regardless of age, gender and race. A lot happened in a few weeks. The conscious record of some of it is in this book. What happens next is entirely up to you ~ PD

Ist Verbundenheit, wie Studien nahelegen, die Essenz von Spiritualitat? Und wie konnte ein Religionsmodell aussehen, das auf Verbundenheit als religiose Bewusstseinsqualitat aufbaut? Auf Basis qualitativer Daten aus Interviews mit Langzeitpraktizierenden aus spirituellen und kunstlerischen Handlungsfeldern, entwickelt Britta Richter, im Gefolge phanomenologischer Lebensweltanalyse (Luckmann/Schutz), Modelle religioser Selbst-Identitat. Die Autorin folgt in phanomenologischen Analysen den narrativen Sinn-Konstruktionen zu ihrem Ursprung im praktischen Tun. Sie zeigt auf, dass Bindungen an Sinn-Quellen (Charles Taylor), Praktiken und Habitus, einer ontologischen Handlungslogik des Seins-Bewusstseins folgen und rekonstruiert, wie im Zwischenraum von Immanenz und Transzendenz, Welt-Beziehung und Seins-Beziehung, bedingtem und unbedingtem Sinn, Seins-Sinn-Bewusstsein verkorpert wird (religio). Unter Aufnahme bindungstheoretischer und theologischer Ansatze, wird ein Verstandnis von symbolischer Identitat entwickelt, in dem sich das Selbst, in der Praxis von Verbundenheit, Selbst-Transzendenz und Transformation, durch Selbstdeutung in der Gesellschaft, als verkorperte Religion seiner religio, individuiert.

This book develops an original theoretical framework for understanding human-technology relations. The author's approach, which he calls technoanalysis, analyzes artificial intelligence based on Freudian psychoanalysis, biosemiotics, and Latour's actor-network theory.

Bringing together expertise from neuroscientists, social scientists, and humanities scholars, this collection provides discussions of the latest findings in neuroscience and provides a cross-disciplinary exploration of the topic of cultural memory.

Bringing together neuroscientists, social scientists, and humanities scholars in cross-disciplinary exploration of the topic of cultural memory, this collection moves from seminal discussions of the latest findings in neuroscience to variegated, specific case studies of social practices and artistic expressions. This volume highlights what can be gained from drawing on broad interdisciplinary contexts in pursuing scholarly projects involving cultural memory and associated topics.The collection argues that contemporary evolutionary science, in conjunction with studies interconnecting cognition, affect, and emotion, as well as research on socially mediated memory, provides innovatively interdisciplinary contexts for viewing current work on how cultural and social environments influence gene expression and neural circuitry. Building on this foundation, Cultural Memory turns to the exploration of the psychological processes and social contexts through which cultural memory is shaped, circulated, revised, and contested. It investigates how various modes of cultural expression-architecture, cuisine, poetry, film, and fiction-reconfigure shared conceptualizing patterns and affectively mediated articulations of identity and value. Each chapter showcases research from a wide range of fields and presents diverse interdisciplinary contexts for future scholarship.As cultural memory is a subject that invites interdisciplinary perspectives and is relevant to studying cultures around the world, of every era, this collection addresses an international readership comprising scholars from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, from advanced undergraduates to senior researchers.

Unlocking the secrets of the Universe involves the critical application of the laws of physics to the observations. This Very Short Introduction describes how we are turning observations into knowledge and how theory, in turn, is inspiring new observations.

With a focus on phenomenological methods, this new edition of Shaun Gallagher's highly regarded textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to phenomenology considered as a philosophical and interdisciplinary practice.

Sometimes being understanding is more important than being right. Sometimes we need not a brilliant mind that speaks but a patient heart that listens... Not keen eyes that always see faults but open arms that accept... Not a finger that points out mistakes but a gentle hand that leads...Unknown Instead of buying your children all the things you never had, you should teach them all the things you were never taught. Material things wear out; knowledge stays. - Bruce Lee. A Journey into Serenity is about transformation... These quotes, stories, poetry, and verses come from the positive experiences of true altruism ... from Mother Teresa and Gandhi to leaders such as Sir Winston Churchill and Ronald Reagan and many inspirational leaders, such as speakers, authors, etc.

In this book, I have attempted, phenomenologically, to explore the concept of the human unconscious. However, the unconscious cannot be analysed without a deep understanding of the conscious. The conscious and unconscious are not two entities, but just one. Yet, they survey each other, protect each other, mislead each other and steal from each other. They both have their birth in the sophisticated sponge of human flesh. Dropped and kneaded into the river of life, the sponge collects all sorts of moss. Language can be a torch in the night, but it can also lead to a dungeon and cage itself. Discourse, be it political, religious or even scientific, can cage and be caged. It is the core aim of this book to journey into the unconscious mind and unravel its connection to our very existence and what makes us human.

What is the nature of knowledge? What is time? This book proposes answers to these and other centuries-old, and so far unresolved, questions about the world using results of modern brain science and a key method of the philosopher Wittgenstein. The book relies on the same tools to show why some of these questions about the world simply cannot be answered. For example: Do we have free will? The arguments rely on a very general concept of subconscious and conscious neuroprocesses that acquire information and react in some way. A hypothesis consistent with the results of modern brain science specifies how these processes interact. Why would you want to read this book? - If you are interested in the fundamental questions about the world, this book gives you a new way to look at them.- The tools help you deal with the flood of information produced by the media. They help you decide whether material is relevant or manipulative drivel.
