Animal consciousness : Peter Olivi on cognitive functions of the sensitive soul
2009
Perceptual Self-Awareness in Seneca, Augustine, and Olivi
2013
This article traces the philosophical idea of self-perception from the times of ancient Stoicism to the thirteenth century by analyzing the views of Seneca, Augustine, and Olivi. The central argument is that they defend the same idea according to which self-preservation and the appropriate use of one’s body requires awareness thereof, despite the obvious contextual differences and the uncertainty of direct historical connections between the authors. They think that this kind of self-awareness does not belong only to human beings, because irrational animals need to perceive their bodies, the functions of their bodily parts, and to perceive themselves as living beings in order to act appropri…

The Active Nature of the Soul in Sense Perception: Robert Kilwardby and Peter Olivi
2010
This article discusses the theories of perception of Robert Kilwardby and Peter of John Olivi. Our aim is to show how in challenging certain assumptions of medieval Aristotelian theories of perception they drew on Augustine and argued for the active nature of the soul in sense perception. For both Kilwardby and Olivi, the soul is not passive with respect to perceived objects; rather, it causes its own cognitive acts with respect to external objects and thus allows the subject to perceive them. We also show that Kilwardby and Olivi differ substantially regarding where the activity of the soul is directed to and the role of the sensible species in the process, and we demonstrate that there ar…
Keski-Suomen yritysten historiatietoisuus: Kyselyn tulokset
2021
Tämä raportti on osa Jyväskylän yliopiston monitieteistä Menestystä menneisyydestä -tutkimushanketta, jossa selvitetään yritysten historiatietoisuutta. Raportin teko ei olisi ollut mahdollista ilman Keski-Suomen liiton ja Business Finlandin rahoitusta – kiitos molemmille tärkeästä tuesta tutkimushankkeelle. Kiitos myös Keski-Suomen Yrittäjille ja Keski-Suomen kauppakamarille, joiden verkostojen kautta kysely levisi keskisuomalaisyrityksille. Raportti on pohjana tutkimushankkeen seuraaville vaiheille, joissa sekä syvennytään tarkemmin yksittäisten yritysten historiatietoisuuteen että laajennetaan analyysiä valtakunnalliselle tasolle.
“Face the cow”: reconnecting to nature and increasing capacities for pro-environmental agency
2020
Arts-based practices can support sustainability, combined with research that points out needs for intervention. We practiced environmental sensitivity and dialogic art with fifth-grade school pupils as part of an International Socially Engaged Art Symposium (ISEAS2019). Using arts-based action research methodology, our case study focused on the opportunities of arts-based environmental education in advancing the management of meadows and wood-pastures. We explored nature connectedness and pro-environmental mindsets and behaviors among the pupils and artists/researchers. The artistic results encompassed the dialogic interactions of the intervention, exhibited artworks, and audiovisual docume…

Beyond life-skills: talented athletes, existential learning and (Un)learning the life of an athlete
2022
Following developments in educational discourse more broadly, learning discourses in youth sport have been shaped by outcome-based and instrumental goals of developing useful life-skills for ‘successful’ lives. There is, however, a need to expand such traditional understandings of sport-based youth development, which we undertook by exploring existential learning in sport through encountering discontinuity. We conducted in-depth qualitative research with 16 Finnish athletes (seven men/nine women, aged 19–20), five of whom had recently disengaged from the athlete development pathway. In the interviews, we used creative non-fiction vignettes to invite reflections on learning experiences in sp…
Kirjallisuus ja kausaaliset operaattorit : mitä kirjallisuus opettaa moraalista?
2015
Tutkielman tavoitteena on puhua kausaalisen determinismin nojalla kirjallisuuden tiedollisen merkityksen puolesta filosofisia ajatuskokeita vastaan. Pyrkimyksenä on osoittaa, että kirjallisuus voi kertomuksen mittaan pystyttää sellaisen kausaalisten suhteiden välisten ketjun, että niiden välisten merkitysten ymmärtämisen myötä lukija tulee omaksuneeksi tunnekokemukseen perustuvia tietoja ja uskomuksia. Filosofiset ajatuskokeet eivät kykene tuottamaan tällaista kokemukseen perustuvaa vaikutusvoimaa. Argumenttini tämän kokemustiedon puolesta nojaa kausaalisen determinismin jyrkkään muotoon, jonka mukaan kokemukset ohittavat tietoisuuden ja vapaan tahdon portinvartijat, ja ne tuntuvat affektei…
