    THE TRUTH GAME (Silvan Mühlemann, Geneva 2019) 1 I. DEFENDING AXIOMATIC-DEDUCTIVE SCIENCE ( ) 1. CHOOSING ONE’S AXIOMS: THE EPISTEMOLOGY OF HAPPINESS. According to Karl Popper2, science begins with falsifiable hypotheses. These hypotheses are, as explained by Ashish Dalela, chosen as a function of happiness they provide us. It is intuitively clear that happiness, not truth, is the highest goal in life. “To know the truth we must know the good, but to pick the good, we must desire that good. Ultimately, our cognition of truth depends on our desire. If that desire is modified, then the truths are modified. Similarly, happiness is produced only when the desires are fulfilled. Therefore, if you find the thing that you desire, then you have the double satisfaction of finding truth and goodness. Your brain tells you that you have found the truth, and your heart tells you that you have fulfilled your desire. If you tell a happy person that his ideas about the world are false, he will most likely ignore you, because he knows that since he is happy he must be doing something correctly, and consequently his beliefs must also be true. On the other hand, if you tell an unhappy person that he is suffering because of his false beliefs, and that he must change his beliefs in order to find happiness, he is more likely to listen to your arguments. In short, new knowledge doesn’t come when you are happy, because there is complacency whereby one’s current beliefs are accepted as true just because one is already happy and contented.

  • Mathematical Modeling and Anthropology: Its Rationale, Past Successes and Future Directions
    Mathematical Modeling and Anthropology: Its Rationale, Past Successes and Future Directions Dwight Read, Organizer European Meeting on Cybernetics and System Research 2002 (EMCSR 2002) April 2 - 5, 2002, University of Vienna http://www.ai.univie.ac.at/emcsr/ Abstract When anthropologists talk about their discipline as a holistic study of human societies, particularly non-western societies, mathematics and mathematical modeling does not immediately come to mind, either to persons outside of anthropology and even to most anthropologists. What does mathematics have to do with the study of religious beliefs, ideologies, rituals, kinship and the like? Or more generally, What does mathematical modeling have to do with culture? The application of statistical methods usually makes sense to the questioner when it is explained that these methods relate to the study of human societies through examining patterns in empirical data on how people behave. What is less evident, though, is how mathematical thinking can be part of the way anthropologists reason about human societies and attempt to make sense of not just behavioral patterns, but the underlying cultural framework within which these behaviors are embedded. What is not widely recognized is the way theory in cultural anthropology and mathematical theory have been brought together, thereby constructing a dynamic interplay that helps elucidate what is meant by culture, its relationship to behavior and how the notion of culture relates to concepts and theories developed not only in anthropology but in related disciplines. The interplay is complex and its justification stems from the kind of logical inquiry that is the basis of mathematical reasoning.

Lea University of Exeter, School of Psychology, Washington Singer Laboratories, Exeter EX4 4QG, United Kingdom [email protected] http://www.exeter.ac.uk/SEGLea Paul Webley University of Exeter, School of Psychology, Washington Singer Laboratories, Exeter EX4 4QG, United Kingdom [email protected] http://www.exeter.ac.uk/pwebley Abstract: Why are people interested in money? Specifically, what could be the biological basis for the extraordinary incentive and reinforcing power of money, which seems to be unique to the human species? We identify two ways in which a commodity which is of no biological significance in itself can become a strong motivator. The first is if it is used as a tool, and by a metaphorical extension this is often applied to money: it is used instrumentally, in order to obtain biologically relevant incentives. Second, substances can be strong motivators because they imitate the action of natural incentives but do not produce the fitness gains for which those incentives are instinctively sought. The classic examples of this process are psychoactive drugs, but we argue that the drug concept can also be extended metaphorically to provide an account of money motivation. From a review of theoretical and empirical literature about money, we conclude that (i) there are a number of phenomena that cannot be accounted for by a pure Tool Theory of money motivation; (ii) supplementing Tool Theory with a Drug Theory enables the anomalous phenomena to be explained; and (iii) the human instincts that, according to a Drug Theory, money parasitizes include trading (derived from reciprocal altruism) and object play.

  • Miracle Grec»: La « Mentalité Primitive» Et La Chine
    Bibliothèque des Sciences humaines PAUL JORION COMMENT LA VÉRITÉ ET LA RÉALITÉ FURENT INVENTÉES GALLIMARD -.-".. AVANT-PROPOS Cet ouvrage se veut une contribution à l'anthropologie des savoirs. J'y analyse la naissance des notions de « vérité» et de « réalité» (objective), notions qui semblent aller de soi, mais qui sont en fait apparues à des moments précis de l'histoire de la culture occidentale et sont totalement absentes du bagage conceptuel de certaines autres, en par­ ticulier de la culture chinoise traditionnelle. Ces moments de leur émergence sont datés et relativement récents; mieux, leur apparition a donné lieu à des débats houleux et bien documentés entre partisans et adversaires de thèses antagonistes. La « vérité» est née dans la Grèce du :rve siècle avant Jésus-Christ, et la « réalité» (objective), dans l'Europe du XVIe siècle. L'une découle de l'autre: à partir du moment où s'impose l'idée d'une vérité, dire la vérité revient à décrire la réalité telle qu'elle est. Platon et Aristote imposèrent la vérité comme le moyen de dépasser les objections sceptiques de leurs adversaires sophistes. Dans le débat qui les opposa à ceux-ci, ils dépla­ cèrent le critère de validité d'un discours. Ce dernier passa de l'absence d'autocontradiction dans son développement à la validité de ses propositions individuelles, transformant la notion jusque-là polémique du « vrai » en principe épisté­ mologique de la « vérité». La distinction établie à cette occasion par Aristote entre l'analytique, qui permet la démonstration scientifique à partir de prémisses vraies, et la dialectique, qui permet l'argumentation juridique ou 8 Comment la vérité et la réalité furent inventées politique à partir de prémisses vraisemblables (les «opi­ nions généralement admises »), autorisa un cessez-le-feu idéologique dans le débat avec les sophistes et avec les cou­ rants sceptiques en général (l'analytique et la dialectique seraient ultérieurement regroupées sous l'appellation de logique).

Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2, 2013 © copyright by YOU GUO JIANG 2013 Conceptions about Liberal Arts Education in China Abstract Liberal arts education is an emerging phenomenon in China. However, under the pressure of exam-oriented education, memorization, and lecture pedagogy, faculty, university administrators and policy makers have not embraced it whole-heartedly. Through qualitative methodology, this study explores the current thinking of Chinese policy makers, university administrators, and faculty members on liberal arts education and its challenges. A study of the perceptions of 96 Chinese government and university administrators and faculty members regarding liberal arts education through document analysis and interviews at three universities helps in comprehending the process of an initiative in educational policy in contemporary Chinese universities. This research analyzes Chinese policy making at the institutional and national levels on curriculum reform with particular emphasis on the role of education in shaping well-rounded global citizens, and it examines how the revival of liberal arts education in China would produce college graduates with the creativity, critical thinking, moral reasoning, innovation and cognitive complexity needed for social advancement and personal integration in a global context.

  • Book Provides Us with the Compelling Evidence That This Is Not Only Necessary but Also Possible.” - Prabir Purkayastha, Founder and Chief Editor At
    “An incredibly important and timely collection of essays, offering a detailed diagnosis of the issues afflicting modern financialized economies and a vision of a future beyond neoliberalism. Required reading for all those involved in the project to build a new economy.” - Grace Blakeley, research fellow at the Institute for Public Policy Research and economics commentator at The New Statesman “This thought-provoking series of essays reminds us of a truth often denied: there is no shortage of money for transformation of the economy away from addiction to fossil fuels. The questions tackled by the authors are this: who controls the monetary system and how can the wider public regain control over a) their own savings and b) a great public good - the monetary system.” - Ann Pettifor, director of Policy Research in Macroeconomics (PRIME) and author of The Production of Money “The dominant narrative today is that financial and private capital, will lead – at some distant date – to public good. Increasingly, even public infra- structure is being handed over to big capital. We urgently need a global movement to rein in global finance and safeguard our future. This impor- tant book provides us with the compelling evidence that this is not only necessary but also possible.” - Prabir Purkayastha, founder and chief editor at www.newsclick.in “Here is yet another major contribution from TNI to our understanding of the complex world of high-finance. TNI has gained an international reputation for its extraordinary work on helping us understand the real world machinations of the high-level investment world of financiers.” - Saskia Sassen, Columbia University and author of Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy “The stark reality is that the world stands on the brink of another crash owing to the failure to reform a global financial system dominated by private banking behemoths.
