Book Description

The New Mechanical Philosophy argues for a new image of nature and of science—one that understands both natural and social phenomena to be the product of mechanisms, and that casts the work of science as an effort to discover and understand those mechanisms. Drawing on an expanding literature on mechanisms in physical, life, and social sciences, Stuart Glennan offers an account of the nature of mechanisms and of the models used to represent them. A key quality of mechanisms is that they are particulars - located at different places and times, with no one just like another. The crux of the scientist's challenge is to balance the complexity and particularity of mechanisms with our need for representations of them that are abstract and general. This volume weaves together metaphysical and methodological questions about mechanisms. Metaphysically, it explores the implications of the mechanistic framework for our understanding of classical philosophical questions about the nature of objects, properties, processes, events, causal relations, natural kinds and laws of nature. Methodologically, the book explores how scientists build models to represent and understand phenomena and the mechanisms responsible for them. Using this account of representation, Glennan offers a scheme for characterizing the enormous diversity of things that scientists call mechanisms, and explores the scope and limits of mechanistic explanation.

Book Description

In the face of a world in crisis, Digitalization and Learning as a Worlding Practice: Why Dialogue Matters examines the significance of digital technologies in human learning. The book explores how learning is not just an internalization of knowledge but a problem- oriented activity of engaging with the world, a process of both meaning making and world making. It raises a pivotal question: how can digital technologies help to expand and enrich learning as a collaborative worlding practice? It discusses the importance of digital artifacts in shaping students’ learning experiences, discerning how they nourish meaningful engagement and where they pose a hindrance. The book also investigates the role of digitalization in transforming everyday life and learning activity of students, and how learners, teachers, and educators can approach these transformations critically and constructively. Based on an embodied, subject- and world- centered concept of learning, the book offers its readers a sophisticated understanding of the inner connection between digitalization and learning. This book will appeal to students and scholars in Psychology, Education, and Science and Technology Studies, as well as to anyone concerned with the implications of digital technology for the processes of human learning.

Book Description

The Book of Affinitive Life: Part 1 in Conjunction: The Book of Life is mainly about life on Earth concerning the invited signals of love that create addictions and eventually transcend into affinitive life. It is commonly characterized in the world as a passion, hobby, or bond to someone or something; and it is practiced or lived by means of a habitual lifestyle or habit by virtue of signal responsiveness in response to behavior in interaction with whom or what affinitive life centers on. The surprisingly interesting spiritual fact about the love signal is that it lies beyond ordinary experiences and supernaturally transcends into an acquired spirit that is grafted into your natural spirit as an integral part, which is then potentially lived as affinitive life, and in turn, a passion, hobby, or bond to someone or something. Affinitive life as a passion, hobby, or bond is actually unknown to the world as such. That is because it is spirit-based and all spiritual lives are physically based. First Corinthians 2:14-15 says, "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." That means scientists could never use genetic engineering to find the true meaning of passions, hobbies, or bonding to someone or something as an affinitive life because it is foolishness to them. Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome, which means its genes are used by biotechnology, also called genetic modification, which is genetic manipulation of the genes of an organism's genome. This book is the book of affinitive life, part 1, to the natural side of life and the book of life to the spirit side of life of invited signals of love. For that reason, the name of this book is The Book of Affinitive Life: Part 1 in Conjunction: The Book of Life. It is called The Book of Affinitive Life as it refers to and relates to the natural side of life first, and then to the same degree, it relates to the spirit side of life. Additionally, it characterizes the Book of Life, which no natural or ordinary man could write; there had to be a spiritual component. All affinitive lives are lived optionally as a habitual lifestyle or habit in natural life, in conjunction with natural life as an integral part.

Book Description

Garrett Sullivan explores the changing impact of Aristotelian conceptions of vitality and humanness on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century literature before and after the rise of Descartes. Aristotle's tripartite soul is usually considered in relation to concepts of psychology and physiology. However, Sullivan argues that its significance is much greater, constituting a theory of vitality that simultaneously distinguishes man from, and connects him to, other forms of life. He contends that, in works such as Sidney's Old Arcadia, Shakespeare's Henry IV and Henry V, Spenser's Faerie Queene, Milton's Paradise Lost and Dryden's All for Love, the genres of epic and romance, whose operations are informed by Aristotle's theory, provide the raw materials for exploring different models of humanness; and that sleep is the vehicle for such exploration as it blurs distinctions among man, plant and animal.
