Download or read book Introspect written by South Carolina State Board of Health and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "So often do the spirits of great events stride on before the events. And in today already walks tomorrow." - Coleridge. By such words are we reminded to review the past, evaluate the present, and to contemplate the future. This South Carolina is doing in celebrating her three-hundredth birthday. It is altogether fitting that the State Board of Health should pause in introspection. We salute those who have preceded us and left to us a heritage rich in public health accomplishments. The next century will not be an easy one. This is the penalty that must be exacted if we are to meet the tremendous challenge of a world involved in explosive scientific growth, social change, and health needs. The dedication of South Carolinians to progress in past centuries is a source of pride and inspiration as we plan for the future -- for "in today already walks tomorrow." - E. Kenneth Aycock, State Health Officer - p. 3.

Download or read book Introspection and Consciousness written by Declan Smithies and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topic of introspection stands at the interface between questions in epistemology about the nature of self-knowledge and questions in the philosophy of mind about the nature of consciousness. What is the nature of introspection such that it provides us with a distinctive way of knowing about our own conscious mental states? And what is the nature of consciousness such that we can know about our own conscious mental states by introspection? How should we understand the relationship between consciousness and introspective self-knowledge? Should we explain consciousness in terms of introspective self-knowledge or vice versa? Until recently, questions in epistemology and the philosophy of mind were pursued largely in isolation from one another. This volume aims to integrate these two lines of research by bringing together fourteen new essays and one reprinted essay on the relationship between introspection, self-knowledge, and consciousness.

Download or read book The First Person Perspective and Other Essays written by Sydney Shoemaker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-09-13 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sydney Shoemaker is one of the most influential philosophers currently writing on philosophy of mind and metaphysics. The essays in this collection deal with the way in which we know our own minds, and with the nature of those mental states of which we have our most direct conscious awareness. Professor Shoemaker opposes the 'inner sense' conception of introspective self-knowledge. He defends the view that perceptual and sensory states have non-representational features - 'qualia' - that determine what it is like to have them. Amongst the other topics covered are the unity of consciousness, and the idea that the 'first-person perspective' gives a privileged route to philosophical understanding of the nature of mind. This major collection is sure to prove invaluable to all advanced students of the philosophy of mind and cognitive science.
Download or read book Rethinking Introspection written by J. Butler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book Introspection and Contemporary Poetry written by Alan Bacher Williamson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1984 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this bold defense of so-called confessional poetry, Alan Williamson shows us that much of the best writing of the past twenty-five years is about the sense of being or having a self, a knowable personal identity. The difficulties posed by this subject help explain the fertility of contemporary poetic experiment--from the jaggedness of the later work of Robert Lowell to the montage--like methods of John Ashbery, from the visual surrealism of James Wright and W. S. Merwin to the radical plainness of Frank Bidart. Williamson examines these and other poets from a psychological perspective, giving an especially striking reading of Sylvia Plath.
Download or read book Introspection written by Maja Spener and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is introspection? Does introspection deliver theoretically valuable information about the mind? There is a long history in philosophy and psychology of using introspection to gather data about the mind. Introspection is often held to constitute our best and only direct access to consciousness and hence to be essential to any investigation of the conscious mind. Equally longstanding and widespread, however, are critical concerns that introspection is highly susceptible to interference, which, together with its privacy, renders it unreliable as a source of data about the mind. Maja Spener offers an understanding of introspection that clarifies its epistemic importance in theorising about the mind. In particular, seemingly overwhelming concerns about the reliability of introspection are transformed into something methodologically more tractable. Central to the approach put forward in the book is the distinction between introspection as inquiry and introspection as mental capacity - between introspective method and introspective access. The first part of the book articulates, defends, and applies a novel framework for the systematic assessment of the potential and limitations of introspective methods. The framework is historically motivated, drawing on insights from key figures in early scientific psychology (especially Wilhelm Wundt, William James, and Georg Elias Müller) whose used and discussed introspective methods extensively. The second part of the book develops a composite pluralism about introspective access, showing how different modes of introspective access fit into the common sense and scientific pictures of our minds. Key to this pluralist account is the explanatory role introspection plays in our agency.

Download or read book Nonparametric Bayesian Learning for Collaborative Robot Multimodal Introspection written by Xuefeng Zhou and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book focuses on robot introspection, which has a direct impact on physical human-robot interaction and long-term autonomy, and which can benefit from autonomous anomaly monitoring and diagnosis, as well as anomaly recovery strategies. In robotics, the ability to reason, solve their own anomalies and proactively enrich owned knowledge is a direct way to improve autonomous behaviors. To this end, the authors start by considering the underlying pattern of multimodal observation during robot manipulation, which can effectively be modeled as a parametric hidden Markov model (HMM). They then adopt a nonparametric Bayesian approach in defining a prior using the hierarchical Dirichlet process (HDP) on the standard HMM parameters, known as the Hierarchical Dirichlet Process Hidden Markov Model (HDP-HMM). The HDP-HMM can examine an HMM with an unbounded number of possible states and allows flexibility in the complexity of the learned model and the development of reliable and scalable variational inference methods. This book is a valuable reference resource for researchers and designers in the field of robot learning and multimodal perception, as well as for senior undergraduate and graduate university students.

Download or read book Introspection Epigraphs written by Shadryn Carlston and published by Shadryn Carlston. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introspection Epigraphs at their core are all about motivation, inspiration and contemplation of the self. Introspection Epigraphs were created to work on our inner minds, guiding us to insights we already possess within ourselves. The epigraphs are used as a gateway to give us something to think about, rather than get lost in our stream of thoughts, which often can be negative. The book's purpose is to give the reader a chance to see their life through a neutral method, without any judgement or promise of a future outcome. There is no such thing as instant gratification when working on yourself, you have to put in the work, and you are the only one that can make this happen. It can feel a bit like an emotional autopsy, but in time it's worth it. We have to start by deconstructing our foundational beliefs of ourselves before beginning the work of building a new, stronger foundation. Your relationship with yourself is far more important than any relationship you can have with anyone else. There are 133 epigraphs in this book, each with its very own message. Knowing yourself is often more important than loving yourself because when we know our triggers and our self-sabotage, we can work on not only loving ourselves but creating a fulfilling relationship with ourselves.
