Download or read book Von der Quantenphysik zum Bewusstsein written by Thomas Görnitz and published by Springer-Verlag. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 839 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was verstehen wir unter Bewusstsein? Was sind die Grundprinzipien der Quantentheorie? Welcher Zusammenhang besteht zwischen beiden? In ihrem neuen Buch erläutern Brigitte und Thomas Görnitz ausführlich das Konzept der „Protyposis“, einer abstrakten Quanteninformation. Diese einfachste Quantenstruktur bildet die Basis für eine zur Einheit führende naturwissenschaftliche Beschreibung sowohl der Materie als auch des Bewusstseins. Damit wird die Trennung zwischen Leib und Seele überwunden und es wird deutlich, wie untrennbar verwoben die Bereiche der Quantentheorie und der Psychologie im Grunde sind. Das Buch führt den Leser auf eine spannende Reise zum Bewusstsein und zeigt, wie der Weg dorthin von der Kosmologie über die biologische Evolution bis zum Menschen durch die Quantentheorie verstehbar gemacht werden kann. Gemeinsam präsentieren die Autoren Themenkomplexe aus Quantentheorie, Lebenswissenschaft und Psychologie und schaffen so ein informatives Werk über die naturwissenschaftlichen Zusammenhänge der Wirklichkeit.
Download or read book Ideas of Possession written by Nicole M. Bauer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The characteristics of possession are numerous and vary between different socio-cultural and historical contexts. Different ideas of possession can be observed within different cultural and social contexts both past and present. This makes defining possession all the more difficult. Various approaches to "ideas of possession" in different academic disciplines and in different cultural contexts allow the discourse(s) to benefit from insights that would otherwise remain confined to the society under discussion or the field that determines the method of study. The introduction presents an overview of recent interdisciplinary research on possession and scholarly attempts at a working definition, followed by a brief outline of the individual case studies in this volume"--
Download or read book Integrated Science written by Nima Rezaei and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-16 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated Science: Science without Borders” is the first volume of the INTEGRATED SCIENCE Book series, aiming to publish the results of the most updated ideas and reviews in transdisciplinary fields and to highlight the integration of discrete disciplines, including formal sciences, physical-chemical sciences and engineering, biological sciences, medical sciences, and social sciences. This volume primarily focuses on the research involving the integration of two or more academic fields offering an innovative, borderless view, which is one of the main focuses of the Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN). The whole world is suffering from complex problems; these are borderless problems; thus, a borderless solution could merely solve such complex issues. Transdisciplinarity is a domain, that researchers work jointly, using a shared conceptual framework, drawing together disciplinary-specific theories, concepts, and approaches to address common problems. Lack of confidence, lack of expertise, complexities of healthcare, the confusing nature of healthcare environments, and lack of organization and standardization are the obstacles of successful scientific communication. Consequently, this book provides an overview of the essential elements of transdisciplinary studies and integrated science. The unique aspect of this book -privileging it from other books- is covering all aspects of science as harmonies of a single symphony.
Download or read book From Quantum to Classical written by Claus Kiefer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-14 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum theory is at the foundation of the physical description of our world. One of the people who contributed significantly to our conceptual understanding of this theory was Heinz-Dieter Zeh (1932-2018). He was the pioneer of the process of decoherence, through which the classical appearance of our world can be understood. This volume presents a collection of essays dedicated to his memory, written by distinguished scientists and scholars. They cover all aspects of the interpretation of quantum theory in general and the quantum-to-classical transition in particular. This volume provides illuminating reading to anyone seeking a deep understanding of quantum theory and its relevance to the foundations of physics.
Download or read book The Second Quantum Revolution written by Lars Jaeger and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-07 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of the second quantum revolution which will shape the 21st century as much as the first quantum revolution shaped the 20th century. It provides unique orientation in today's discussion and the latest progress on the interpretation of quantum physics and its further technological potential. As you read this book the first prototypes of this revolution are being built in laboratories worldwide. Super-technologies such as nanotechnology, quantum computers, quantum information processing, and others will soon shape our daily lives, even if physicists themselves continue to disagree on how to interpret the central theory of modern physics. The book will thus also touch on the profound philosophical questions at the heart of quantum mechanics.
Download or read book The Meaning of Thought written by Markus Gabriel and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From populist propaganda attacking knowledge as ‘fake news’ to the latest advances in artificial intelligence, human thought is under unprecedented attack today. If computers can do what humans can do and they can do it much faster, what’s so special about human thought? In this new book, bestselling philosopher Markus Gabriel steps back from the polemics to re-examine the very nature of human thought. He conceives of human thinking as a ‘sixth sense’, a kind of sense organ that is closely tied our biological reality as human beings. Our thinking is not a form of data processing but rather the linking together of images and imaginary ideas which we process in different sensory modalities. Our time frame expands far beyond the present moment, as our ideas and beliefs stretch far beyond the here and now. We are living beings and the whole of evolution is built into our life story. In contrast to some of the exaggerated claims made by proponents of AI, Gabriel argues that our thinking is a complex structure and organic process that is not easily replicated and very far from being superseded by computers. With his usual wit and intellectual verve, Gabriel combines philosophical insight with pop culture to set out a bold defence of the human and a plea for an enlightened humanism for the 21st century. This timely book will be of great value to anyone interested in the nature of human thought and the relations between human beings and machines in an age of rapid technological change.
Download or read book Neo Existentialism written by Markus Gabriel and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly original book, Markus Gabriel offers an account of the human self that overcomes the deadlocks inherent in the standard positions of contemporary philosophy of mind. His view, Neo-Existentialism, is thoroughly anti-naturalist in that it repudiates any theory according to which the ensemble of our best natural-scientific knowledge is able to account fully for human mindedness. Instead, he shows that human mindedness consists in an open-ended proliferation of mentalistic vocabularies. Their role in the human life form consists in making sense of the fact that the human being does not merely blend in with inanimate nature and the rest of the animal kingdom. Humans rely on a self-portrait that locates them in the broadest conceivable context of the universe. What distinguishes this self-portrait from our knowledge of natural reality is that we change in light of our true and false beliefs about the human being. Gabriel’s argument is challenged in this volume by Charles Taylor, Andrea Kern and Jocelyn Benoist. In defending his argument against these and other objections and in spelling out his theory of self-constitution, Gabriel refutes naturalism’s metaphysical claim to epistemic exclusiveness and opens up new paths for future self-knowledge beyond the contemporary ideology of the scientific worldview.
Download or read book Fictions written by Markus Gabriel and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Ancient philosophy to contemporary theories of fiction, it is a common practice to relegate illusory appearances to the realm of the non-existent, like shadows on the wall of Plato’s cave. Contrary to this traditional mode of drawing a metaphysical distinction between reality and fiction, Markus Gabriel argues that the realm of the illusory, fictional, imaginary, and conceptually indeterminate is as real as it gets. Being in touch with reality need not and cannot require that we overcome appearances in order to grasp a meaningless reality which exists ‘out there,’ outside and maybe even beyond our minds. Human mindedness (Geist) exists in the mode of fictions through which we achieve self-consciousness. This novel approach provides a fresh perspective on our existence as subjects who lead their lives in the light of self-conceptions. Fictions also develops a social ontology according to which the social unfolds as a constant renegotiation of dissent, of different points of view onto the same reality. Thus, we cannot ever hope to ground human society in a fiction-free realm of objective transactions. However, this does not mean that truth and reality are somehow outdated concepts. On the contrary, we need to enlarge our conception of reality so that it fully encompasses ourselves as specifically minded social animals. This major new work of philosophy will be of interest to students and scholars throughout the humanities and to anyone interested in contemporary philosophy and social thought.

Download or read book Living Systems Information Therapy LSIT written by Bodo Köhler and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LSIT is based on the scientific foundation of quantum physics. This deals with holistic structures and their interactions. The high dynamics of life is achieved by constantly changing relationships and opportunities, combined with a high gain of experience. This improves the adaptability and the chances of survival. Everything is subject to a higher meaning communicated to us about spiritual needs. We are spirit-driven beings who inhabit a body subject to electrodynamic laws. Each action requires information and energy, which we call up about our intentions. Diseases can be treated with medication. These transmit certain healing information. The LSIT uses this information directly, without need of pills. That's what makes them so efficient. It is capable of initiating healing processes even in advanced diseases. The author, Dr Bodo Koehler, MD, born in 1948, has more than 45 years of experience in the clinic and his own practice as an internist with extensive additional training. Since 1980 he has been one of the pioneers of bioenergetic measurement and therapy procedures. A lot of his developments are now standard in many practices. The author is a lecturer at home and abroad.
Download or read book Nuclear Chromosomal and Genomic Architecture in Biology and Medicine written by Malgorzata Kloc and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-08 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reviews the latest research on the functional implications of nuclear, chromosomal and genomic organization and architecture on cell and organismal biology, and development and progression of diseases. The architecture of the cell nucleus and non-random arrangement of chromosomes, genes, and the non-membranous nuclear bodies in the three-dimensional (3D) space alters in response to the environmental, mechanical, chemical, and temporal cues. The changes in the nuclear, chromosomal, or genomic compaction and configuration modify the gene expression program and induce or inhibit epigenetic modifications. The intrinsically programmed rearrangements of the nuclear architecture are necessary for cell differentiation, the establishment of cell fate during development and maturation of tissues and organs including the immune, muscle, and nervous systems. The non-programmed changes in the nuclear architecture can lead to fragmentation of the nucleus and instability of the genome and thus cause cancer. Microbial and viral infections can lead to a clustering of centromeres, telomeres and ribosomal DNA and alter the properties of the nuclear membrane, allowing large immobile macromolecules to enter the nucleus. Recent advances in next-generation sequencing technologies combined with nucleus/chromosome conformation capture, super-resolution imaging, chromosomal contact maps methods, integrative modeling, and genetic approaches, are uncovering novel features and importance of nuclear, chromosomal and genomic architecture. This book is an interesting read for cell biologists, researchers studying the structure and function of chromosomes, and anyone else who wants to get an overview of the field of nuclear, chromosomal and genomic architecture.
Download or read book Complexity Thinking in Translation Studies written by Kobus Marais and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume highlights a range of perspectives on the ways in which complexity thinking might be applied in translation studies, focusing in particular on methods to achieve this. The book introduces the topic with a brief overview of the history and conceptualization of complexity thinking. The volume then frames complexity theory through a variety of lenses, including translation and society, interpreting studies, and Bible translation, to feature case studies in which complexity thinking has successfully been or might be applied within translation studies. Using complexity thinking in translation studies as a jumping off point from which to consider the broader implications of implementing quantitative approaches in qualitative research in the humanities, this volume is key reading for graduate students and scholars in translation studies, cultural studies, semiotics, and development studies.
Download or read book Comprehending the Complexity of Countries written by Hans Kuijper and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues for computer-aided collaborative country research based on the science of complex and dynamic systems. It provides an in-depth discussion of systems and computer science, concluding that proper understanding of a country is only possible if a genuinely interdisciplinary and truly international approach is taken; one that is based on complexity science and supported by computer science. Country studies should be carefully designed and collaboratively carried out, and a new generation of country students should pay more attention to the fast growing potential of digitized and electronically connected libraries. In this frenzied age of globalization, foreign policy makers may – to the benefit of a better world – profit from the radically new country studies pleaded for in the book. Its author emphasizes that reductionism and holism are not antagonistic but complementary, arguing that parts are always parts of a whole and a whole has always parts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Verstehen von Gehirn und Bewusstsein, das Leib-Seele-Problem und die Frage nach dem freien Willen, ist heute die zentrale Aufgabe der Wissenschaft. Thomas und Brigitte Görnitz, ein Physiker und eine Psychologin, stellen in „Der kreative Kosmos“ eine revolutionäre Lösung vor. Eine kosmologisch begründete abstrakte Quanteninformation liefert die Basis für Materie und Geist. Die Evolution des Kosmos, des Lebens und des Bewusstseins kann damit unter einer einheitlichen Sicht erfasst werden, die unsere psychischen Erfahrungen mit den modernen physikalischen und biologischen Erkenntnissen auf einer wissenschaftlichen Grundlage versöhnt. Die Autoren sprechen [...] von einem Rahmen, der Freiheit innerhalb einer naturwissenschaftlichen Weltbeschreibung zu denken erlaube. Die Schaffung dieses Rahmens, der mit der Lösung des Dilemmas zwischen Subjektivität und Kausalität zusammenhängt, ist die wesentliche Leistung dieses außergewöhnlichen Buches. www.wissenschaft-online.de Wer dieses Buch liest, wird sehr wahrscheinlich nach der Lektüre die Welt anders sehen als vorher.

Download or read book Human and the effect of his soul written by Andreas Wolf von Guggenberger and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-06-12 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Human and the effect of his soul" Man and the effect of his soul Andreas, Wolf von Guggenberger creates a fascinating model of crea-tion, soul, spirit and body in his new work. With it he deepens his work: "Evolution of Creation and the Soul". As a short introduction, he presents his idea of a possible origin of creation and at the same time describes how the souls could have arisen in it. He then describes the inner levels of the human being. From the dynamics between the souls and the creation, he outlines the model of the spirit. Spiralling upwards, viewed from ever new angles, he describes the following levels of the soul: Spiritual levels of perception, Higher Self, evolutionary level, personality, ME and Ego, mask, defensive and protective attitudes of the EGOS and the transformation of ME and Ego. This is followed by the physical and mental drive systems with an expanded body model. He shows how self-forgiveness can help to dissolve feelings of guilt, fear, inferiority and power. Psychoanalytical, brain neurological, evolutionary and religious approaches merge naturally. From the perspective of the soul, he elaborates completely new perspectives and connections. The author breaks away from conventional models of thought and creates something fascinatingly new. He has taken the basic ideas of his book from his main work "Evolution of Creation and the Soul". In his main work he describes the background very extensively and in detail. His two books are very personal works. They are the result of personal introspection, research and a journey of knowledge. Therefore, the author did not initially think of publishing them. In his works, he relies on his own inner visions, which is why his concepts differ from those of other psychologists, philosophers and religious thinkers.
