Book excerpt: In Discovering Ataraxia, Allie and her brother, S.J. - who has Autism Spectrum Disorder – are ushered into an alternate world, where they find two kingdoms on the brink of battle: the peace-loving Ataraxia and the hostile Malvelnia led by wily King Wendigo. Insights gained in this alt-universe will come in handy as Allie and S.J. face their own struggles in their new hometown of Lakeshores, North Carolina, where they come face to face with bullies, cliques, and adjustment pains every kid can relate to. As Allie and her brother get to know their new classmates, some become friends while others display hurtful behavior that is typical for tweens and teens who are figuring out how to express themselves and perceive others. These age groups are grappling with asserting their unique personalities, but insecurities often provoke ugly behavior that at its worst can be quite harmful to others. Discovering Ataraxia tells an entertaining story that teaches tweens and teens to see the importance of their choices. Current surveys of this age group reveal that the issues of bullying, body shaming, and thoughts of suicide are prevalent. This story seeks to highlight avenues of hope and light in a world often steeped in darkness, while inspiring young people to be strong and courageous individuals.

Download or read book Ancient Philosophy of the Self written by Pauliina Remes and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-08-26 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pauliina Remes and Juha Sihvola In the course of history, philosophers have given an impressive variety of answers to the question, “What is self?” Some of them have even argued that there is no such thing at all. This volume explores the various ways in which selfhood was approached and conceptualised in antiquity. How did the ancients understand what it is that I am, fundamentally, as an acting and affected subject, interpreting the world around me, being distinct from others like and unlike me? The authors hi- light the attempts in ancient philosophical sources to grasp the evasive character of the specifically human presence in the world. They also describe how the ancient philosophers understood human agents as capable of causing changes and being affected in and by the world. Attention will be paid to the various ways in which the ancients conceived of human beings as subjects of reasoning and action, as well as responsible individuals in the moral sphere and in their relations to other people. The themes of persistence, identity, self-examination and self-improvement recur in many of these essays. The articles of the collection combine systematic and historical approaches to ancient sources that range from Socrates to Plotinus and Augustine.

Download or read book Charlotte and Carneades written by Phineas James and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Charlotte was not yet convinced by adverts and peers promoting the benefits of ownership. Property only represented the packaging of a person, but Charlotte was more concerned with developing the product. She wanted to 'be' something, not 'own' something. However, she had resigned herself to the possibility that her mother was so caught up in 'having' that she had lost touch with any exclusive idea of 'being'. It seemed that for many adults: having was being." Charlotte loves to dream. Charlotte hates to do her homework. How can an uncertain frog help Charlotte to love her learning and carry on dreaming? Carneades the frog shows Charlotte that there is nothing wrong with being uncertain and that education and dreaming can and should be the same thing. 'Charlotte and Carneades' hopes to allow adults and children to preserve or rediscover their own ability to hope and dream; to be open-minded to possibility; and to learn, or remember, that life can be more about 'being', and less about 'having.'

What are the boundaries between mental disorder and 'normality'? Is there a relationship between mental disorder and genius? These are some of the difficult but important questions that this book confronts, with the overarching aim of exploring what mental disorders can teach us about human nature and the human condition.

Download or read book Proceedings of the Boston Colloquium for the Philosophy of Science 1966 1968 written by Robert S. Cohen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth volume of Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science consists mainly of papers which were contributed to our Colloquium during the past few years. The volume represents a wide range of interests in contem porary philosophy of science: issues in the philosophy of mind and of language, the neurophysiology of perceptual and linguistic behavior, philosophy of history and of the social sciences, and studies in the fun damental categories and methods of philosophy and the inter-relation ships of the sciences with ethics and metaphysics. Papers on the logic and methods of the natural sciences, including biological, physical and mathematical topics appear in the fifth volume of our series. We have included in the present volume the first English translation of the classic and fundamental work on aphasia by Carl Wernicke, together with a lucid and appreciative guide to his work by Dr. Norman Geschwind. The papers were not written to form a coherent volume, nor have they been edited with such a purpose. They represent current work-in progress, both in the United States and in Europe. Although most of the authors are philosophers, it is worth noting that we have essays of philosophical significance here written by a sociologist, an anthropologist, a political scientist, and by three neurophysiologists. We hope that collaboration among working scientists and working philosophers may develop further.
