Download or read book The vertical Ego written by Günter von Hummel and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-02-19 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our usual social Ego is oriented horizontally. In the vertical, there has only been spirit or God from above and drive and affect from below. Just recent psychoanalytical studies have described the very early body-self-mirrorings, according to which the infant still remains largely in volved in itself. Even in adult life these experiences of morroring the inner vertical, or better espressed as a vertical Ego, still play an important role. The author shows this with many examples, but also describes a self-therapeutic procedure that is built up from seemingly such contradictory elements as psychoanalysis and meditation. According to the instructions, anyone can learn it themselves by means of two exercises.
Download or read book Theory of Language written by Karl Bühler and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-27 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl Bühler (1879–1963) was one of the leading theoreticians of language of the twentieth century. Although primarily a psychologist, Bühler devoted much of his attention to the study of language and language theory. His masterwork Sprachtheorie (1934) quickly gained recognition in the fields of linguistics, semiotics, the philosophy of language and the psychology of language. This new edition of the English translation of Bühler’s theory begins with a survey on ‘Bühler’s legacy’ for modern linguistics (Werner Abraham), followed by the Theory of Language, and finally with a special ‘Postscript: Twenty-five Years Later ...’ (Achim Eschbach). Bühler’s theory is divided into four parts. Part I discusses the four axioms or principles of language research, the most famous of which is the first, the organon model, the base of Bühler's instrumental view of language. Part II treats the role of indexicality in language and discusses deixis as one determinant of speech. Part III examines the symbolic field, dealing with context, onomatopoeia and the function of case. Part IV deals with the elements of language and their organization (syllabification, the definition of the word, metaphor, anaphora, etc).The text is accompanied by an Introduction (Achim Eschbach); Translator's preface (Donald Fraser Goodwin); Glossary of terms; and a Bibliography of cited works.
Download or read book Pictorial Law written by Volker Boehme-Neßler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-07 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a digital Media Society, in which pictures are becoming more and more important. So, human communication is increasingly becoming a visual communication. That is not a new finding. But the new question is: What does this development mean for the law? Up to now the law is the part of the society which is most sceptical towards images. Law has still resisted the visual temptation. This will not last for ever. The rush of pictures in everyday life and in every part of the society is much too strong - and it is even getting stronger. The invasion of images will change the character of modern law deeply. Modern law will become a Pictorial Law.What are the chances and the risks of Pictorial Law and visual law communication? This is the topic of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A brilliant, witty, and altogether satisfying book." — New York Times Book Review The classic work on the development of human language by the world’s leading expert on language and the mind In The Language Instinct, the world's expert on language and mind lucidly explains everything you always wanted to know about language: how it works, how children learn it, how it changes, how the brain computes it, and how it evolved. With deft use of examples of humor and wordplay, Steven Pinker weaves our vast knowledge of language into a compelling story: language is a human instinct, wired into our brains by evolution. The Language Instinct received the William James Book Prize from the American Psychological Association and the Public Interest Award from the Linguistics Society of America. This edition includes an update on advances in the science of language since The Language Instinct was first published.
Download or read book Activity and Sign written by Michael H.G. Hoffmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-06 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advancement of a scientific discipline depends not only on the "big heroes" of a discipline, but also on a community’s ability to reflect on what has been done in the past and what should be done in the future. This volume combines perspectives on both. It celebrates the merits of Michael Otte as one of the most important founding fathers of mathematics education by bringing together all the new and fascinating perspectives created through his career as a bridge builder in the field of interdisciplinary research and cooperation. The perspectives elaborated here are for the greatest part motivated by the impressing variety of Otte’s thoughts; however, the idea is not to look back, but to find out where the research agenda might lead us in the future. This volume provides new sources of knowledge based on Michael Otte’s fundamental insight that understanding the problems of mathematics education – how to teach, how to learn, how to communicate, how to do, and how to represent mathematics – depends on means, mainly philosophical and semiotic, that have to be created first of all, and to be reflected from the perspectives of a multitude of diverse disciplines.

Download or read book Neurophilosophy of Free Will written by Henrik Walter and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-01-23 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter applies the methodology of neurophilosophy to one of philosophy's central challenges, the notion of free will. Neurophilosophical conclusions are based on, and consistent with, scientific knowledge about the brain and its functioning. Neuroscientists routinely investigate such classical philosophical topics as consciousness, thought, language, meaning, aesthetics, and death. According to Henrik Walter, philosophers should in turn embrace the wealth of research findings and ideas provided by neuroscience. In this book Walter applies the methodology of neurophilosophy to one of philosophy's central challenges, the notion of free will. Neurophilosophical conclusions are based on, and consistent with, scientific knowledge about the brain and its functioning. Walter's answer to whether there is free will is, It depends. The basic questions concerning free will are (1) whether we are able to choose other than we actually do, (2) whether our choices are made intelligibly, and (3) whether we are really the originators of our choices. According to Walter, freedom of will is an illusion if we mean by it that under identical conditions we would be able to do or decide otherwise, while simultaneously acting only for reasons and being the true originators of our actions. In place of this scientifically untenable strong version of free will, Walter offers what he calls natural autonomy—self-determination unaided by supernatural powers that could exist even in an entirely determined universe. Although natural autonomy can support neither our traditional concept of guilt nor certain cherished illusions about ourselves, it does not imply the abandonment of all concepts of responsibility. For we are not mere marionettes, with no influence over our thoughts or actions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in collaboration with the European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools (ECLAS) and LE: NOTRE, The Routledge Handbook of Teaching Landscape provides a wide-ranging overview of teaching landscape subjects, from geology to landscape design, reflecting different perspectives and practices at university-level landscape curricula. Focusing on the didactics of landscape education, this fully illustrated handbook presents and discusses pedagogy, teaching traditions, experimental teaching methods and new teaching principles. The book is structured into three parts: reading the landscape, representing the landscape and transforming the landscape. Contributions from leading experts in the field, such as Simon Bell, Marc Treib, Jörg Rekittke and Susan Herrington, explore landscape analysis, history and theory, design visualisation, creativity and art, planning studio teaching, field trips and site engineering. Aimed at engaging academic researchers and instructors across disciplines such as landscape architecture, geography, ecology, planning and archaeology, this book is a must-have guide to landscape pedagogy as it stands today.
Download or read book Handbook of Research on Waldorf Education written by Jost Schieren and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waldorf Education: An all-round, balanced approach to education that is equally concerned with intellectual-cognitive and artistic-creative learning. A practice- and experience-based pedagogy. Non-selective and open to all children and young people; offering a stress-free, secure learning environment across 12 grades; embedded in a community of students, teachers, and parents. An alternative education that has been successfully practiced for over a century. The first Waldorf School was founded in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1919. Today, Waldorf Education is practiced in all countries and cultures around the world: in over 1,000 schools, more than 2,000 kindergartens, and numerous centers for special needs education. This makes Waldorf Education the most prevalent alternative approach to teaching. And yet, despite the success and (now empirically validated) recognition that Waldorf schools enjoy, the theory underlying them remains controversial. Within the academic debate, Waldorf Education is seen as ideologic and unscientific. This publication sets out to bring clarity to this debate: Renowned researchers explain and discuss Waldorf Education’s foundations in relation to the current discourse on education and core disciplines such as theory of knowledge, anthropology, developmental psychology, learning theory, and the theory of professions. This scientific inquiry into Waldorf Education is breaking new ground, casting light on its fascinating humanistic ideal and holistic potential.
Download or read book Visions The other way round of Love and Death written by Günter von Hummel and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If for love hate and for death life are opposites, then in the 'other way round' of love and death the opposites cancel each other out. For this, the simple, only mirroring consciousness must be distinguished from the deeper awareness, which can only be experienced securely in a self-analytical practice (an-alytical psychocatharsis). The author also shows by means of contrasts in other areas that a new view, indeed a kind of vi-sion, can expand conventional psychoanalysis by means of such a practice. It contains not only analytical but also medi-tative aspects and can thus be learned by everyone himself - as also described in the book.
Download or read book Der Sprachinstinkt nach Steven Pinker Wahrheit oder L ge written by Florian Fromm and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2009 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Romanistik - F cher bergreifendes, Note: 2, Ruprecht-Karls-Universit t Heidelberg (Romanisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Einf hrung in die Kognitionslinguistik, 16 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das R tsel vom Ursprung der Sprache bzw. der Sprachf higkeit eines Menschen ist eine Fragestellung aus Psychologie und Sprachwissenschaft, welche schon seit der Antike hinterfragt und meist kontrovers diskutiert wird. Dabei haben sich im Laufe der Geschichte zwei grundverschiedene Ansichten diesbez glich herauskristallisiert. Bei der Untersuchung hinsichtlich dieser Divergenz befinden wir uns mitten in der u.a. von Danny Steinberg so charakterisierten nature-nurture Kontroverse, welche sich mit der elementaren Frage auseinandersetzt, ob der Mensch von Geburt an ohne jegliches Vorwissen auf diese Erde kommt oder aber, ob jedem Menschen von Beginn an eine Art "biologische Grundausstattung" mit in die Wiege gelegt wird. Urvater der nativistischen Lehre ist Noam Chomsky, dessen Forschungsergebnisse, welche zum Teil mit seinem Kollegen Steven Pinker gemeinsam erarbeitet hatten. Diese waren sp ter die Basis f r Steven Pinkers Buch "The Language Instinct", welches als Grundlage meiner Hausarbeit zu sehen ist. Steven Pinker ist ein kanadischer Linguist und Psychologe, der als Professor an der Havard Universit t ebenso wie Chomsky auch am MIT, dem Massachusetts Institut of Technology, doziert. In der nun folgenden Arbeit werde ich mich auf eine Spurensuche begeben und untersuchen, in wieweit Steven Pinker mit seinem 1994 ver ffentlichte Buch eine, die ganze Menschheit betreffende, Wahrheit ausgesprochen hat, oder ob solcherlei Theorien faktisch in das Reich der Tr ume und Wunschvorstellungen einiger weniger zu z hlen sind.
Download or read book Epistemological Dimensions of Evolutionary Psychology written by Thiemo Breyer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As psychology and philosophy arose as answers to the eternal question of how the mind works, evolutionary psychology has gained ground over recent years as a link between cognitive-behavioral and natural-science theories of the mind. This provocative field has also gathered a wide range of criticisms, from attributing too much autonomy to the brain to basing itself on faulty assumptions about our prehistoric past. Epistemological Dimensions of Evolutionary Psychology reframes its discipline for the contemporary era, correcting common misconceptions and mediating between different schools of thought. By focusing on the nature and limits of knowledge and reasoning--the essence of epistemology--contributors offer fresh insights at the intersection of human cognitive abilities as adaptations and our self-perception of knowledge, including evolutionary perspectives on altruism, depression, or the phasing out of human sacrifice. This diversity strengthens and vindicates the field, as evinced by thought-provoking dispatches such as: Toward a cognitive philosophy of science. Evolutionary media psychology and its epistemological foundation. The "meme" meme revisited. Depression as an adaptation. Like me: a homophily-based account of human culture. Preparedness to learn about the world: evidence from infant research. An engaging and often controversial testament to the combined power of evolution and logic, Epistemological Dimensions of Evolutionary Psychology will intrigue philosophers as well as psychologists in a variety of subdisciplines.
