Book excerpt: In der folgenden Arbeit stellt der Autor dar, dass jeder Mensch in einer Art Illusion lebt, indem er glaubt, die objektive Realität mit seinen Augen bzw. Sinnen wahrnehmen zu können. Viele Menschen scheinen sich dessen nicht bewusst zu sein und verwechseln die objektive Realität mit der subjektiven. Als Symbole dienen hierbei z. B. visuelle Merkmale (’Schönheitssymbole’), die von einer Gemeinschaft mit Wertungen belegt sind (‘schön’/‘hässlich’) oder auch Objekte, die bestimmte Gefühle auslösen, wie z.B. das Automobil, das gleichbedeutend mit Unabhängigkeit und Individualität ist. Das daraus resultierende ’Weltbild’ beeinflusst nachhaltig unser Urteilsvermögen, was wiederum bedeutet, dass beides voneinander abhängig ist. Genau diese Tatsache wird von den meisten Menschen außer acht gelassen. Der Autor untersucht die Konstruktion von Wirklichkeit durch Sprache anhand der Übersetzung eines Textes vom Englischen ins Deutsche. Im Anhang folgt ein Exkurs zur Hirnforschung, der nachträglich hinzugefügt wurde und die zuvor erläuterten Untersuchungsergebnisse stützt.

Book excerpt: Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Sprachwissenschaft / Sprachforschung (fachubergreifend), Note: 2, Fachhochschule Koln (Fachbereich Sprachen), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der folgenden Arbeit versuche ich darzustellen, da jeder Mensch in einer Art Illusion lebt, indem er glaubt, die objektive Realitat mit seinen Augen bzw. Sinnen wahrnehmen zu konnen. Interessant daran ist fur mich, da viele Menschen sich dessen anscheinend nicht bewut sind und die objektive Realitat mit der subjektiven verwechseln. Als Symbole dienen hierbei z. B. visuelle Merkmale ('Schonheitssymbole'), die von einer Gemeinschaft mit Wertungen belegt sind ('schon'/'halich') oder auch Objekte, die bestimmte Gefuhle auslosen, wie z. B. das Automobil, das gleichbedeutend mit Unabhangigkeit und Individualitat ist. Das daraus resultierende 'Weltbild' beeinflut nachhaltig unser Urteilsvermogen, was wiederum bedeutet, da beides voneinander abhangig ist. Genau diese Tatsache wird von den meisten Menschen auer acht gelassen. Aber die entscheidende Frage ist, wie diese 'Folie' zustandekommt bzw. welche Faktoren auer den oben genannten entscheidend fur ihren Aufbau sind. Vergleichbar ist diese Folie mit dem 'Platonischen Hohlengleichnis' (Abbild der objektiven Wirklichkeit) und bewirkt eine Art Nivellierung von Gedanken- und Gefuhlswelten. Die Komplexitat der Gedanken, Gefuhle und damit der Realitat wird sozusagen uberdeckt. Die bereits angesprochenen Symbole, aus denen sich das jeweilige 'Weltbild' zusammensetzt, konnte man auch als 'Bezugsgroen' oder Orientierungshilfen bezeichnen, die den Mikrokosmos bilden, in dem jeder von uns lebt. Angenommen, diese Groen waren von Geburt an unbewertet, so mute jeder Mensch diese Wertungen selbstandig vornehmen, um ein System aufzubauen, das er als 'die Welt' bezeichnen konnte. Dies ist jedoch in der Realitat nicht der Fall, da wir alle in bereits bestehende Systeme mit ihren vielfaltigen Erscheinungsformen hineinwachsen. Diese Formen finden

Download or read book Barbarian Spring written by Jonas Lüscher and published by Haus Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-15 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a business trip to Tunisia, Preising, a leading Swiss industrialist, is invited to spend the week with the daughter of a local gangster. He accompanies her to the wedding of two London city traders at a desert luxury resort that was once the site of an old Berber oasis. With the wedding party in full swing and the bride riding up the aisle on a camel, no one is aware that the global financial system stands on the brink of collapse. As the wedding guests nurse their hangovers, they learn that the British pound has depreciated tenfold, and their world begins to crumble around them. So begins Barbarian Spring, the debut novel from Jonas Lüscher, a major emerging voice in European fiction. The timely and unusual novel centers on a culture clash between high finance and the value system of the Maghreb. Provocative and entertaining, Barbarian Spring is a refreshingly original and all-too-believable satire for our times.

Download or read book Island Rivers written by John R. Wagner and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropologists have written a great deal about the coastal adaptations and seafaring traditions of Pacific Islanders, but have had much less to say about the significance of rivers for Pacific island culture, livelihood and identity. The authors of this collection seek to fill that gap in the ethnographic record by drawing attention to the deep historical attachments of island communities to rivers, and the ways in which those attachments are changing in response to various forms of economic development and social change. In addition to making a unique contribution to Pacific island ethnography, the authors of this volume speak to a global set of issues of immense importance to a world in which water scarcity, conflict, pollution and the degradation of riparian environments afflict growing numbers of people. Several authors take a political ecology approach to their topic, but the emphasis here is less on hydro-politics than on the cultural meaning of rivers to the communities we describe. How has the cultural significance of rivers shifted as a result of colonisation, development and nation-building? How do people whose identities are fundamentally rooted in their relationship to a particular river renegotiate that relationship when the river is dammed to generate hydro-power or polluted by mining activities? How do blockages in the flow of rivers and underground springs interrupt the intergenerational transmission of local ecological knowledge and hence the ability of local communities to construct collective identities rooted in a sense of place?
Download or read book Linguistic and Rhetorical Perspectives on Congressional Hearings written by Cinzia Giglioni and published by Frank & Timme GmbH. This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congressional hearings are often the most requested government documents in US libraries. However, among the genres that have been traditionally of interest to political discourse analysts – e.g. political speeches, political interviews, policy documents – hearings have not been of much scrutiny on the part of discourse scholars, an attitude somehow contrasting with the lay public’s interest. Cinzia Giglioni takes the opportunity to gain a unique view into the actors, the interested parties, the issues, from a linguistic and rhetorical perspective. Her intent is to provide an in-depth analysis of witnesses’ opening statements, which are probably the most salient parts in a congressional hearing. The investigation begins with, but is not constricted by, theoretical aspects, which are integrated with empirical observations and suggestions for critical reading.
Download or read book Psychologism written by Martin Kusch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-23 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1995. When did psychology become a distinct discipline? What links the continental and analytic traditions in philosophy? Answers to both questions are found in this extraordinary account of the debate surrounding psychologism in Germany at the turn of the century. The trajectory of twentieth century philosophy has been largely determined by this anti-naturalist view which holds that empirical research is in principle different from philosophical inquiry, and can never make significant contributions to the latter's central issues. Martin Kusch explores the origins of psychologism through the work of two major figures in the history of twentieth century philosophy, Gottlob Frege and Edmund Husserl. His sociological and historical reconstruction shows how the power struggle between the experimental psychologists and pure philosophers influenced the thought of these two philosophers, shaping their agendas and determining the success of their arguments for a sharp separation of logic from psychology. A move that was crucial in the creation of the distinct discipline of psychology and was responsible for the anti-naturalism found in both the analytic and the phenomenological traditions in philosophy. Students and lecturers in philosophy, psychology, linguistics, cognitive science and history will find this study invaluable for understanding a key moment in the intellectual history of the twentieth century.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Affective Computing written by Rafael A. Calvo and published by Oxford Library of Psychology. This book was released on 2015 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Oxford Handbook of Affective Computing is a definitive reference in the burgeoning field of affective computing (AC), a multidisciplinary field encompassing computer science, engineering, psychology, education, neuroscience, and other disciplines. AC research explores how affective factors influence interactions between humans and technology, how affect sensing and affect generation techniques can inform our understanding of human affect, and on the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems involving affect at their core. The volume features 41 chapters and is divided into five sections: history and theory, detection, generation, methodologies, and applications. Section 1 begins with the making of AC and a historical review of the science of emotion. The following chapters discuss the theoretical underpinnings of AC from an interdisciplinary viewpoint. Section 2 examines affect detection or recognition, a commonly investigated area. Section 3 focuses on aspects of affect generation, including the synthesis of emotion and its expression via facial features, speech, postures, and gestures. Cultural issues are also discussed. Section 4 focuses on methodological issues in AC research, including data collection techniques, multimodal affect databases, formats for the representation of emotion, crowdsourcing techniques, machine learning approaches, affect elicitation techniques, useful AC tools, and ethical issues. Finally, Section 5 highlights applications of AC in such domains as formal and informal learning, games, robotics, virtual reality, autism research, health care, cyberpsychology, music, deception, reflective writing, and cyberpsychology. This compendium will prove suitable for use as a textbook and serve as a valuable resource for everyone with an interest in AC."--
Download or read book Rationality in the Social Sciences written by Helmut Staubmann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents for the first time a collection of historically important papers written on the concept of rationality in the social sciences. In 1939-40, the famed Austrian economist Joseph A. Schumpeter and the famous sociologist Talcott Parsons convened a faculty seminar at Harvard University on the topic of rationality. The first part includes their essays as well as papers by the Austrian phenomenologist Alfred Schütz, the sociologist Wilbert Moore, and the economist Rainer Schickele. Several younger economists and sociologists with bright futures also participated, including Alex Gerschenkron, John Dunlop, Paul M. Sweezy, and Wassily W. Leontief, who was later awarded the Nobel Prize for developing input-output analysis. The second part presents essays and commentaries written by today’s internationally noted social scientists and addressing the topic of rationality in social action from a broad range of perspectives. The book’s third and final part shares the recently discovered correspondence between the seminar principals regarding the original but failed plan to publish its proceedings. It also includes letters, not previously published, between Richard Grathoff, Walter M. Sprondel and Talcott Parsons on the rationality seminar and the exchanges between Parsons and Schütz.

Download or read book Values of American Society written by Talcott Parsons and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2016 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The material in Values of American Society remains the principal resource for understanding Parsons' conception of value systems. His treatment of value systems has been much debated, although poorly understood, in considerable part because Parsons never published his full conception, developed only in these manuscripts. They continue to hold interest for social scientists, both for their carefully developed analytical scheme and for the resulting discussion of American culture and society.

Download or read book Fundamental Moral Theology written by Franz Böckle and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fifteen years since the Second Vatican Council, no aspect of theology has undergone such thorough scrutiny as that of moral theology. Furthermore, the discussions have not been the exclusive concern of churchmen. Theologians have entered into dialogue with everyone who is in any way preoccupied with the need to improve social order. Thus the insights of all the human and social sciences have been brought to bear in the task of reassessment and restructuring. This book presents a comprehensive scheme of moral theology which is relevant to the moral and intellectual climate of the latter decades of the twentieth century.
Download or read book Machine Ethics written by Michael Anderson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-09 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new field of machine ethics is concerned with giving machines ethical principles, or a procedure for discovering a way to resolve the ethical dilemmas they might encounter, enabling them to function in an ethically responsible manner through their own ethical decision making. Developing ethics for machines, in contrast to developing ethics for human beings who use machines, is by its nature an interdisciplinary endeavor. The essays in this volume represent the first steps by philosophers and artificial intelligence researchers toward explaining why it is necessary to add an ethical dimension to machines that function autonomously, what is required in order to add this dimension, philosophical and practical challenges to the machine ethics project, various approaches that could be considered in attempting to add an ethical dimension to machines, work that has been done to date in implementing these approaches, and visions of the future of machine ethics research.
