Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Measure of Mind provides a sustained critique of a widely held representationalist view of propositional attitudes and their role in the production of thought and behaviour. On this view, having a propositional attitude is a matter of having an explicit representation that plays a particular causal/computational role in the production of thought and behaviour. Robert J. Matthews argues that this view does not enjoy the theoretical or the empirical support that proponents claim for it; moreover, the view misconstrues the role of propositional attitude attributions in cognitive scientific theorizing. The Measure of Mind goes on to develop an alternative measurement-theoretic account of propositional attitudes and the sentences by which we attribute them. On this account, the sentences by which we attribute propositional attitudes function semantically like the sentences by which we attribute a quantity of some physical magnitude (e.g., having a mass of 80 kilos). That is, in much the same way that we specify a quantity of some physical magnitude by means of its numerical representative on a measurement scale, we specify propositional attitude of a given type by means of its representative in a linguistically-defined measurement space. Propositional attitudes turn out to be causally efficacious aptitudes for thought and behaviour, not semantically evaluable mental particulars of some sort. Matthews' measurement-theoretic account provides a more plausible view of the explanatorily relevant properties of propositional attitudes, the semantics of propositional attitude attributions, and the role of such attributions in computational cognitive scientific theorizing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The way your life develops and the decisions you make throughout your years depend directly on how your mind processes information and thoughts.In fact, it all started as thoughts and ideas, and then it became actions and products. Your mind has the amazing ability to turn dreams into realities.Of course, this is only possible if you know how and what to do to achieve the success you desire so much.You could feel that it is useless to say that there is a sure way of doing things and that our mind is the protagonist when it comes to drawing our reality; But, it is precise because we feel that everything is so visible, that we take for granted essential concepts of success, applicable to our lives.Both you and I were born with the most incredible asset of all: The human mind. Our mind is the primary control system of our entire body; it helps us achieve things we would never do, except for its ability to handle complex and challenging functions correctly.Scientific studies show that the human brain has enough domains to process up to 30 billion bits of information per second. The neurons present in our mind are responsible for storing the information delivered by the environment, in order to determine the type of action we must take in response to a situation.These small neurons have the potential to work separately from each other and to transmit information from cell to cell within the nervous system. Therefore, they manage to affect the actions we take and the decisions we make.None of the technological equipment that we have today is capable of working at the speed and with the advanced complexity of the human brain (although this could be about to change).This comes to demonstrate the capabilities of the common human mind, and how all those who talk about computers that surpass human power, are nothing more than invalid and groundless claims.It is evident that with your ability to work at such speeds and complexity, our existence makes us competent individuals with all the ability to take and maintain control of our lives, right?With the potential you have, turning your thoughts into what you want, you will easily achieve the reality you desire if you know how to do it.Become aware of what you can achieveRight now, you must convince yourself and become aware of your ability to achieve great things in life. Being aware of your potential, including how much you can achieve, you have already taken the first step towards achieving success in your life. In addition, creating self-confidence is what you need to make sure you achieve your goals.Your thirst for success will derive from your interest and desire to reach your ultimate goal. This will make plans in your subconscious mind of the conditions and scenarios that you need in your life, to act accordingly to what your conscience considers courageous and essential to you.In this way, it becomes crucial in the process that motivates your mind in generating positive thoughts and visualizing your desires. Thus, you will get your subconscious to store quality information, which will be transliterated into a dream reality.Your conscious mind gives you the possibility to evaluate the stimuli coming from your environment so that you have control and let your subconscious pass only what helps you in the process of manifesting your desires. The information received from the conscious mind is transmitted to the subconscious, which then processes emotions and thoughts in response to a given situation.Precisely because of this, it becomes so essential that you analyze what you always expose yourself to, so much to words, people, media, social networks, etc. All the information that this gives you is what then happens to be inside your mind expressing your reality.

Download or read book Change Your Thoughts Alter Your Attitude Dictate Your Progress written by Ekene A. Egbo and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavior is a by-product of attitude. That is, what a man preconceives is what he let out in form of behavior. Attitude is a mental disposition towards one's self, another person, a thing i.e. it is the feeling given to any stimulus around us. No matter what the opportunities available to you; if you don't greet such opportunities with positive attitude, you are doomed to fail. Attitude is the off-spring of nature, nurture and environment. Nature refers to all genetically inherited traits; nurture talks about the accumulation of life and living experiences (customs, tradition or culture) over time, while environment is centered on our present surroundings. William James an American Psychologist posited that "man alone of all creatures of the earth can change his own pattern. Man alone is the architect of his destiny. The greatest discovery in our generation is that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." Bewilderedly, some people cannot live above poverty because they've already resigned to fate believing that they are destined to be poor while they assume that those who are rich were designed and predestined to be rich. More baffling is the notion that they are helpless and cannot do anything to change and improve their circumstances. This set of people who adopts this kind of mindset, attitude and/or approach to life are not always ready to take risk nor make efforts to upturn their circumstance. They are usually, laidback, pessimistic, passive and with grave low self-esteem often characterized with 'battered ego'. Attitude dictates and controls our behavior either consciously or sub-consciously. Whether you are a business person, a teacher, a student, a parent or whatever you are doing; your level of success will increase tremendously if you place high value on good thinking. James Allen maintained that "man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believe himself to be the creature of outside conditions, but when he realizes he is a creative power, and that he may command the hidden soil and seeds of his being out of which circumstances grow, he then becomes the rightful master of himself..". as a man thinks so he is. Your thought empowers you for achievement. Emerson affirmed, "Thought rule the world" you can't gravitate above your thoughts. Your thoughts are propelling forces which create circumstances conducive to their own realization. They are invisible but cannot remain hidden for long because you will eventually act on them. In fact they are irresistible when they call for manifestation. Emmerson further noted that "thoughts converts itself into power." Your life and level of achievement today reflects the kind of thoughts you secretly conceived, harbored, encouraged and projected in the time past. It's impossible for you to manifest contrary to your thoughts. You are exactly a product of your thought. Praise George noted "many people allow their thoughts to be shaped by social consciousness; that is the beliefs held by a particular society. They refuse to question limiting beliefs and move along with the mindless crowd going nowhere" people fail to realize the utmost truth that they themselves are makers of themselves by the virtue of the thought they choose to encourage. In truth, victory and defeat originate from the mind. When all your thoughts are centered on victory in all your challenges, you will always emerge a victor conversely when your thoughts are debasing or centered on negation. "Every thought seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind, and to take root there produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act, and bearing its own fruitage of opportunity and circumstance" James Allen. Good thoughts bear good fruits, bad thoughts bad fruits. Change your thoughts, alter your attitude & dictate your life outcomes!
