Content-Based Approach in Exploring the Cognitive Structure of Values
2012
This article discusses the content-based approach in examination of values. In the content-based approach, human thinking in different contexts is set at the focal point, and attention is devoted to those cognitive processes through which mental representations are constructed. The information contents of mental representations play a decisive role in understanding human behavior. By applying content-based analysis to an examination of the conceptual contents of human values, it is possible to reach a deeper understanding of the cognitive structure which lies as the motivational foundation of actions. In this article, it is argued that different informational contents of values explain vari…
Yvettin glas
2017
Yvette Guilbert was a great singer and diseuse whose career spanned over almost 70 years. The article presents her artistic achievements, closely scrutinizes two of her famous songs and finally concentrates on her close relationship and correspondence with Sigmund Freud. Their correspondence from the early 1930s surprisingly focuses on the very nature of art, where the views of the two correspondents significantly differ. Yvette Guilbert's views, naive as they may seem, actually present a strong counterpoint to Freud's theoretical take on art. The paper presents the starting point of a more extensive book-length research into this unlikely and instructive exchange.
Small Things, Micro-Affirmations and Helpful Professionals Everyday Recovery-Orientated Practices According to Persons with Mental Health Problems
2018
The aim of this study is to present concrete descriptions of the content in the construction of helpful relationships with staff, according to users. Starting with the re-occurring concept of the meaning of "little things" in recovery studies, a literature review was done. A thematic analysis shows that small things play an important role in improving a person's sense of self. Small things seem to be an invisible but effective parts of a recovery-orientated practice, but they might be defined as unprofessional and their efficacy negated.
Lucretius Franco-Hibernicus: Dicuil’s Liber de Astronomia and the Carolingian Reception of De Rerum Natura
2020
Abstract Since its coinage in the nineteenth century, the concept of Carolingian renaissance has been primarily based on the revival of classical texts promoted by Charlemagne and his successors. Among the positive consequences of Carolingian classicism is the careful—if discreet—preservation of the text of Lucretius’s De Rerum Natura, which survives in three valuable ninth-century manuscripts. Whereas rigorous philological studies of these manuscripts have been offered, little attention has been paid to their role in, and connection with, the reception of Lucretius in ninth-century literature. It has been generally assumed that for the Carolingians the DRN was essentially a source for gram…
Do Homeric Heroes Make Real Decisions?
1990
Bruno Snell has made familiar a certain thesis about the Homeric poems, to the effect that these poems depict a primitive form of mindedness. The area of mindedness concerned is agency, and the content of the thesis is that Homeric agents are not agents in the fullest sense: they do not make choices in clear self-awareness of what they are doing; choices are madeforthem rather thanbythem; in some cases the instigators of action are gods, in other cases they are forces acting internally on the agent and over which he has no control. Homeric heroes act in the way Descartes thought an animal acts: agitur, non agit. Such agents ‘handeln nicht eigentlich (d.h. mil vollem Bewuβtsein eigenen Hande…
“The first man on the street” - tracing a famous Hilbert quote (1900) back to Gergonne (1825)
2016
A short, catchy, and in its content somewhat exaggerated, quote allows us to draw a connection through three-quarters of a century between two leaders of mathematics who apparently held somewhat similar philosophical, pedagogical, and political views. In addition to providing some new facets to the biographies of Gergonne and Hilbert, our article relates to increasing demands for the dissemination of mathematical knowledge and to corresponding structural changes within mathematics during the 19th century.
Karl Holl (1866-1926) – luterański badacz źródeł patrystycznych
2019
Treść niniejszego artykułu została poświęcona badaczowi starożytności chrześcijańskiej, jakim był żyjący na przełomie XIX i XX wieku Karl Holl (1866-1926). Urodzony w rodzinie protestanckiej znacznie angażował się w pogłębienie i rozwój protestantyzmu w Niemczech zarówno aktywnością społeczno-religijną, jak i twórczością pisarską. Obok tego pasma działalności w jego życiu okazał się on ponadto wybitnym historykiem, publikując także przyczynki naukowe odnoszące się do starożytności chrześcijańskiej. Spośród nich na szczególną wzmiankę zasługują wydania krytyczne obejmujące pisma Epifaniusza. Śmiało zaprezentował bowiem swój punkt widzenia w kwestii autorstwa utworów ukazujących Epifaniusza j…
Elena Pulcini, La cura del mondo. Paura e responsabilità in età globale.
2010
Elena Pulcini offre in questo libro una Zeitdiagnose delle due patologie che caratterizzano l’età globale: l’ “individualismo illimitato”, che coinvolge la struttura antropologica dell’individuo, e il “comunitarismo endogamico”, che interessa le forme di costituzione del legame sociale. Una diagnosi accurata di tali derive patologiche della globalizzazione indica nella sfera emotiva una profonda scissione tra l’assenza e l’eccesso di pathos: questa è la premessa dell’intera indagine filosofico-sociale condotta dall’autrice, che si propone di affrontare il problema in termini normativi. Si presentano a tal fine i lineamenti di un “normativismo eretico”, che ponga in primo piano le motivazion…
Pleasant Musical Imagery
2019
This article introduces the notion of pleasant musical imagery (PMI) for denoting everyday phenomena where people want to cherish music “in their heads.” This account differs from current paradigms for studying musical imagery in that it is not based a priori on (in)voluntariness of the experience. An empirical investigation of the structure and experiential content in 50 persons’ experiences of PMI applied the elicitation interview method. Peer judgments of the interviews helped to bridge a phenomenological investigation of particular experiences with systematic between-subjects analysis. Both structural features of the imagery (e.g., Looseness of structure or Looping) and content features…
Sharing media content in social media: The challenges and opportunities of user-distributed content (UDC)
2017
The article explores the distribution of mass media content by the online audience that connects by using the different social platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. The focus is on the new and developing concept of user-distributed content (UDC). From the viewpoint of media organisations, UDC is a process by which the mass media converge with online social networks through the intentional use of social media services and platforms in an effort to expand the distribution of media content. UDC does not have a long trajectory as a study object in media studies. The study suggests that practices related to UDC can be more strongly incorporated into management and journalism in main…
