  • Living with Philosophy Ebook
    THE REASON OF THINGS: LIVING WITH PHILOSOPHY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK A. C. Grayling | 256 pages | 01 Jan 2010 | Orion Publishing Co | 9780753817131 | English | London, United Kingdom The Reason of Things: Living with Philosophy PDF Book We are nevertheless the spawn of the Earth. Fascinating subject matter Philosophy seeks not simply knowledge, but deep understanding and wisdom. Check out the masterclass here. What is missing from You Must Change Your Life is an investigation of what happens when the vertical collapses, as it does sometimes for everyone, even believers. One of the most powerful masterclasses we have is on love and intimacy. Nothing inspires me or interests me in any meaningful way. The line, then, like the sphere, becomes for Sloterdijk a substitute for metaphysics. Eventually, they give up and surrender—they give up on the idea that they were meant to do anything or be with anyone special, and they just end up feeling worse. One way or another, many of us dedicate our lives to something other than our own self-interest. But if Sloterdijk is not a believer, then where does he think we can actually experience this kind of perfectly trusting togetherness? I was a bit confident in his word this time and just as he said from the beginning that my ex husband will locate me,Amazingly at first it was through text message,phone call just as dr olorun told me my ex came back in less 48 hours begging me on his knees for forgiveness, yes he is back with a golden heart, Love, care, emotions and flowers and things are better now ideed dr olorun is powerful.

  • Economics Reading List
    Last updated: July 2015 Economics Reading List If you are interested in Economics then it usually means you are interested in the way it applies to the real world around you. You should keep up with the news, particularly when it involves key economic indicators or policies. Journalists frequently use concepts and vocabulary from Economics A Level, and reading the news regularly will help cement these ideas in your mind. Reading news-sources will also give you up to date macroeconomic data on things like inflation, unemployment and growth, as well as good examples of market failure such as monopoly power and negative externalities, as well as the government’s measures to deal with these. News-sources: The BBC news website is worth a daily visit, particularly the Economy tab. The blogs written by Robert Peston, Linda Yeuh and Kamel Ahmed are very good. Build in listening to the Today programme on Radio 4 (Mon - Sat 6:00am – 9:00am) into your morning routine. Subscribe to the Economist through the School offer. You are unlikely to read it cover to cover every week, but skim through for interesting articles and those that map on to topics you are studying. The Times, Guardian, Telegraph, and Independent all have good coverage of the economy. The Guardian and Telegraph on Saturday, and the Times on Sunday are particularly strong on economic news. Never, ever, read the Daily Mail. The Week – this is an excellent weekly magazine that presents the week’s news in brief. Economic Review, Economics Today – these are magazines available to A Level students through the School, and aimed specifically at an A Level audience.

  • 'Ontological Narratives: Ways of Being in Film'
    SEQUENCE 6.1(2021) ISSN 2052-3033 (Online) ‘Ontological Narratives: ways of being in film‘ Joanna Callaghan ‘SEQUENCE Journal is a project from REFRAME, an open access academic digital platform for the practice, publication and curation of internationally produced research and scholarship in media, arts and humanities’ SEQUENCE 6.1(2021) ‘Ontological Narratives: ways of being in film‘ Joanna Callaghan Introduction Ontological Narratives is a research project that explores philosophy through filmmaking practice. The project is concerned to extend and complicate notions of practice as research, through the production of a group of films which both represent and interrogate theoretical issues raised by specific philosoph- ical texts. It aims to both pursue specific research themes — questions concerning ontology and its relation to film narrative — and to question what we mean, and might mean, when we talk of practice as research. The project has forged interdisciplinary connections between film and philosophy through creative practice, a position which is largely absent from much philosophical discourse on film. It also works through a feminist standpoint, one which interrogates philosophy ontologically and epistemo- logically. In terms of philosophical content, the films from Ontological Narratives contain subject matter derived from readings of philosophers that are transformed and interrogated via fictional stories. These stories centre on or pertain to the question of being / being human. This focus on the ‘most universal and emp- tiest of concepts’ responds to Heidegger’s challenge set forth in Being and Time: ‘the indefinability of Being does not eliminate the question of its meaning: it demands that we look the question in the face’ (1990: 23).

And with it our beliefs and values. This year’s HowtheLightGetsIn theme is ‘New Gods: Icons and Ideas in a Changed World’. Are the great narratives that have built and sustained the West under threat? And, if so, what are the new gods that will replace them? This year we have a whole new field to add to our festival space, with new venues and a wider and larger range of events. Although the festival site and the programme continue to grow apace, we are determined to keep the informal atmosphere and the intimate feel that has made HowTheLightGetsIn such a special event. Our line up of philosophers, writers, politicians, scientists, musicians and performers includes many names you will recognise, but HowTheLightGetsIn is not about celebrity: it’s about ideas and playfulness. Our events are the backdrop to creating a space where real conversation and genuine human interaction can take place. And it’s not all going to be cerebral. There will be music and bands and parties into the night, along with documentary screenings, comedy nights, and free acoustic events all day every day.

  • The Significance of Constructive, Reductive, and Detection Conceptual
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 8 May 2019 doi:10.20944/preprints201905.0087.v1 The significance of constructive, reductive, and detection conceptual analysis methods for the postgraduate philosophy scholar at the Global Centre for Academic Research (G-CAR) in the 21st Century. Author: Mokone Solomon Lebese, Ed.D Affiliation: Global Centre for Academic Research Email: [email protected] Website: www.researchglobal.net Preprints: 2019 Article Type: Conceptual Analysis Methods ABSTRACT This article articulates the significance of conceptual analysis (CA) methods for the postgraduate philosophy scholar at the G-CAR institution. In order to clarify the significance, first the concepts were defined, their context examined and the problems posed by the concepts looked at. The activity of scholars who are bent on researching for concepts meaning, was highlighted and the methods scholars use in determining meaning were carefully examined. Three major methods discussed by philosophers, namely, constructive, reductive and detective were explained as well as their significance in helping philosophy scholars do qualitative research in meaning determination. Meaning was found to be a discovery of the observer’s relationship to the objective reality as depicted by concepts. The common factor in these three methods was the dominant role both the observer and the human subjects played in determining meaning – a constructive engagement. It was clarified too, that the ability to explicate concepts’ meaning is the tool kit or skill sets that all scholars need to navigate the semantic jungle in the 21st Century. Key Terms: Conceptual analysis methods, constructive, reductive, detection methods. © 2019 by the author(s). Distributed under a Creative Commons CC BY license.
