Book excerpt: How do you make sense of the world and everything in it? Imagine possessing the ability to delve into the depths of why you make sense of existence and everything in it as you do and then act accordingly. Would you be able to move past current limitations, actual or perceived? Could you identify new opportunities you hadn’t seen before? Would you understand yourself, others and the world in a more comprehensive and accurate way? In a world overflowing with information, rife with confusion and inauthenticities, and where quick fixes and superficial solutions are commonly favoured, the key to genuine comprehension and sustainable change lies deep beneath the surface. In METACONTENT, Ashkan Tashvir takes you on an insightful journey into the intricate multi-dimensional aspects of sense-making: how we interpret complex information and experiences to create meaning and navigate the world. Failing to adhere to a comprehensive sense-making process leads to further confusion, misunderstandings, suboptimal decisions, decision paralysis and missed opportunities, impacting your ability to lead a fulfilling and effective life. Tashvir not only synthesises a range of insights from science and philosophy but also introduces a disruptive metacontent discourse that dispels the myths, explores the profound depths of sense-making and reveals the intricate layers that shape our understanding of everything from material reality to abstract ideas and manufactured constructs and institutions. Discover the groundbreaking Nested Theory of Sense-making. Central to this book, Tashvir reveals his Nested Theory of Sense-making for the first time. This original concept provides a structured multilayered approach for navigating life’s complexities and transforming your analysis and decision-making abilities. METACONTENT follows Tashvir’s best-selling books BEING, HUMAN BEING and BECOMING – The Emergence of Being.

Download or read book Academic Diary written by Les Back and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharp and witty observations of academic life that range from the local to the global, from PowerPoint to the halls of power. Is a university education still relevant? What are the forces that threaten it? Should academics ever be allowed near Twitter? In Academic Diary, Les Back has chronicled three decades of his academic career, turning his sharp and often satirical eye to the everyday aspects of life on campus and the larger forces that are reshaping it. Presented as a collection of entries from a single academic year, the diary moves from the local to the global, from PowerPoint to the halls of power. With entries like “Ivory Towers” and “The Library Angel,” these smart, humorous, and sometimes absurd campus tales not only demystify the opaque rituals of scholarship but also offer a personal perspective on the far-reaching issues of university life. Commenting on topics that range from the impact of commercialization and fee increases to measurement and auditing research, the diary offers a critical analysis of higher education today. At the same time, it is a passionate argument for the life of the mind, the importance of collaborative thinking, and the reasons that scholarship and writing are still vital for making sense of our troubled and divided world.
Download or read book Locating Values in Literature written by Corina-Mihaela Beleaua and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-14 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Locating Values in Literature: Goodness, Beauty, and Truth discusses the relevance of literature in the current educational process, stating that regardless of the level of study, literature provides students with the necessary skills to address real-world situations. Corina-Mihaela Beleaua posits that a curriculum that includes literature has a multitude of benefits for the mental and ethical development of students, defending the relevance of the three ancient values of goodness, beauty, and truth. Beleaua argues that literature is a significant tool for endorsing these transcendentals and actualizing their positive potentials as humanistic and moral values, acting as a symbolic manifestation of moral values that will impact readers outside of the scope of the literature itself. Scholars of literature, philosophy, and education will find this book particularly useful.

The book is divided into three sections: (1) Foundation deals with the relationship of psychotherapy to general biology, especially to growth and adaptation, and with the common features as well as the differences in the major approaches to psychotherapy; (2) Process presents a formulation of the essential phases and the dynamics of any psychotherapeutic relationship; and (3) Techniques presents some techniques which the authors have found useful in their own work as psychotherapists.

Download or read book Dark Affinities Dark Imaginaries written by Joseph Natoli and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uniting personal history with cultural history, Dark Affinities, Dark Imaginaries tells a story of a mind, a time, and a culture. The vehicle or medium of this excursion is an overview and sampling of the author's work, and what is revealed are cautionary tales of a once-aspiring egalitarian democracy confronted with plutocracy's gentrification; of analog history and off-line life superseded by a rush toward virtualized, robotic, AI transformation of the human life-world; of everything social and public giving way to everything personal and opinionated. The vagaries of a lifetime of paths taken are woven together by a narrative that reveals in every piece a significance that was only partially present at its initial writing. Thus, the reader becomes involved in a developing story of a certain personal psyche working toward understanding its own development within a changing American culture. Sometimes angry, sometimes joyful, but always curious and wry, Joseph Natoli crosses the boundary lines of psychology, politics, literature, philosophy, education, and economics to show how we bring ourselves and our cultural imaginaries simultaneously into being through the processes and pleasures of thinking beyond the confines of the personal.
Download or read book The World and Us written by Roberto Mangabeira Unger and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 801 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The World and Us, Roberto Mangabeira Unger sets out to reinvent philosophy. His central theme is our transcendence - everything in our existence points beyond itself - and its relation to our finitude: everything that surrounds us, and we ourselves, are flawed and ephemeral. He asks how we can live so that we die only once, instead of dying many small deaths; how we can breathe new life and new meaning into the revolutionary movement that has aroused humanity for the last three centuries, but that is now weakened and disoriented; and how we can make sense of ourselves without claiming for human beings a miraculous exception to the general regime of nature. For Unger, philosophy must be the mind on fire, insisting on our prerogative to speak to what matters most. From this perspective, he redefines each of the traditional parts of philosophy, from ontology and epistemology to ethics and politics. He turns moral philosophy into an exploration of the contest between the two most powerful contemporary moral visions: an ethic of self-fashioning and non-conformity, and an ethic of human connection and responsibility. And he turns political philosophy into a program of deep freedom, showing how to democratize the market economy, energize democratic politics, and give the individual worker and citizen the means to flourish amid permanent innovation.
