History of Philosophy without any gaps. Socratic Method 2017. 10 Psychological States You've Never Heard Of... and When You Experienced Them. Rene Guenon and Penultimate Times (pt. 1) Overview of Julian Jaynes Theory of Consciousness and the Bicameral Mind. In January of 1977 Princeton University psychologist Julian Jaynes (1920–1997) put forth a bold new theory of the origin of consciousness and a previous mentality known as the bicameral mind in the controversial but critically acclaimed book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind.

Overview of Julian Jaynes Theory of Consciousness and the Bicameral Mind

Jaynes was far ahead of his time, and his theory remains as relevant today as when it was first published. Jaynes asserts that consciousness did not arise far back in human evolution but is a learned process based on metaphorical language. Prior to the development of consciousness, Jaynes argues humans operated under a previous mentality he called the bicameral ('two-chambered') mind. In the place of an internal dialogue, bicameral people experienced auditory hallucinations directing their actions, similar to the command hallucinations experienced by many people who hear voices today.

Philosophy & Psychology Resources: Websites. 29 Oxford University Philosophy Lectures. Aviso de derrumbe. No es extraño que Alemania, el país que ha producido mentes como las de Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche o Marx, tenga devoción por la filosofía, lo inusual es que la nueva revelación del pensamiento alemán —tronco inevitable del pensamiento occidental moderno— sea un autor oriental que cuando era un treintañero cambió Corea del Sur por Europa.

Aviso de derrumbe

Hoy los libros de ese autor, Byung-Chul Han, son prestigiosos superventas en un país que todavía discute apasionadamente a sus filósofos vivos, sean Jürgen Habermas, Peter Sloterdijk o Richard David Precht. Han ya es uno de ellos. Byung-Chul Han nació en 1959 en Seúl y allí estudió metalurgia, pero pronto llegó a la conclusión de que con aquello no iba a ninguna parte. La carrera ni siquiera le interesaba. Decidió instalarse en Alemania y estudiar literatura, aunque acabó interesado en la filosofía.

Hume and Kant

But there were two who would, between them, define the nature of science, especially psychology. They are, of course, David Hume and Immanuel Kant.

William James

Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact. William James (11 January 1842 – 26 August 1910) was a pioneering American psychologist and philosopher. He developed the philosophical perspective known as radical empiricism, and wrote influential books on the science of psychology, the psychology of religious experience and mysticism, and the philosophy of pragmatism.

Joshua Knobe & x-phi

Josh Knobe has comfortable seating in his philosophy department office at Yale University—a small couch somewhere between a love seat and a sofa in size. It is most decidedly not, however, an armchair, which might seem a trivial distinction. Albert Bandura. Albert Bandura (born December 4, 1925) is a psychologist who is the David Starr Jordan Professor Emeritus of Social Science in Psychology at Stanford University.

Albert Bandura

For almost six decades, he has been responsible for contributions to many fields of psychology, including social cognitive theory, therapy and personality psychology, and was also influential in the transition between behaviorism and cognitive psychology. He is known as the originator of social learning theory and the theoretical construct of self-efficacy, and is also responsible for the influential 1961 Bobo doll experiment.

A 2002 survey ranked Bandura as the fourth most-frequently cited psychologist of all time, behind B. F. Skinner, Sigmund Freud, and Jean Piaget, and as the most cited living one.[1] Bandura is widely described as the greatest living psychologist,[2][3][4][5] and as one of the most influential psychologists of all time.[6][7] Saul Kripke. Saul Aaron Kripke (/sɔːl ˈkrɪpki/; born November 13, 1940) is an American philosopher and logician.

From 1983 to 2014, he was the literary editor of The New Republic. He is currently the Isaiah Berlin Senior Fellow in Culture and Policy at the Brookings Institution and a contributing editor and critic at The Atlantic. Life and career[edit] Daniel Smith. I believe that people are mostly at different levels of awareness or consciousness in their lives and that we look at life through our own set of glasses. Most of us are functioning based on ideas and theories that have been passed on from generation to generation and so we are seeing the world through our ideas and not necessarily looking at reality. As a species we have advanced tremendously in technology and commerce, but one thing we have neglected to advance in is consciousness, the ability to be awake in the world.

Today’s society has become extremely efficient at doing things with little or no awareness, we just run on auto pilot. David Chalmers. David John Chalmers (/ˈtʃælmərz/;[1] born 20 April 1966) is an Australian philosopher and cognitive scientist specializing in the area of philosophy of mind and philosophy of language. He is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Centre for Consciousness at the Australian National University. He is also Professor of Philosophy at New York University.[2] In 2013, he was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Life[edit] Since 2004, Chalmers has been Professor of Philosophy, Director of the Centre for Consciousness, and an ARC Federation Fellow at the Australian National University. A Rhodes Scholar raised in Australia, Chalmers received his PhD at Indiana University Bloomington under Douglas Hofstadter.

He is the lead singer of the Zombie Blues band which performed at the Qualia Fest in 2012.[5] in New York. Thought[edit] Intelligence: The Evolution of Night Owls.

American Psychological Association Bolstered C.I.A. Torture Program, Report Says.

WASHINGTON — The American Psychological Association secretly collaborated with the administration of President to bolster a legal and ethical justification for the torture of prisoners swept up in the post-Sept. 11 war on terror, according to a new report by a group of dissident health professionals and human rights activists. The report is the first to examine the association’s role in the interrogation program. It contends, using newly disclosed emails, that the group’s actions to keep psychologists involved in the interrogation program coincided closely with efforts by senior Bush administration officials to salvage the program after the public disclosure in 2004 of graphic photos of prisoner abuse by American military personnel at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. 10 Most Brilliant Social Psychology Experiments.
