Infographic Posters Reduce Huge Philosophical Ideas To Shapes And Colors | Co. Design
It takes the Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy 28,250 words to explain the woolly concept of relativism. It takes Genis Carreras 32 words and a single image: an ingenious blur of overlapping gray circles on a gray background. If you ask me, he doesn’t even need the text. “Relativism” is one of 24 Philosophy Posters that Carreras, a London-based graphic designer, created to build “a new language to communicate philosophy visually, in order to make it more accessible and attractive,” he tells Co.Design. Each poster boils down an absurdly complex theory to shapes and colors that are so basic a kindergarten kid could get it. You’ve got a gold star on a red background (Marxism); a white “X” on black (nihilism); an upside-down cross (atheism); and so on.'Quirk': Author Hannah Holmes Spills the Five Factors That Shape Personality - MyDaily
Random House People are weird; this is a fact. People are strange, flawed, and to use author Hannah Holmes' word, "peculiar." We're a society of complicated individuals whose personalities run the gamut, even if we hate to admit it, she says in her new book " Quirk: Brain Science Makes Sense of Your Peculiar Personality ." Through research using mice and applying the Five Factor Model ( Extraversion , Neuroticism, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness) and the minor facets that fall under each category, Holmes breaks down exactly how each of our personalities has developed. Mice, like us, are capable of a diverse range of personality traits, and through them scientists can learn more about disorders such as depression and schizophrenia, and in doing so are able to help people who suffer from such illnesses.

Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World of Strangers (Issues of Our T
One of the most pernicious ideas has spung from the myth that we are necessarily separated and segregated into groups that are defined by criteria like gender, language, race, religion or some other kind of boundary. And it is easy to see that these boundaries are a major cause of conflict. The author of this enthralling book - Kwame Anthony Appiah - challenges this kind of separative thinking by resurrecting the ancient philosophy of "cosmopolitanism." This school of thought that dates back almost 2500 years to the Cynics of Ancient Greece.Chinese philosophy
