Urban Dictionary, May 17: Cyclops date Math and Reading Help for Kids - Homework Help, Tutoring and Parenting Advice Filosofía La filosofía occidental ha tenido una profunda influencia y se ha visto profundamente influida por la ciencia, la religión y la política occidentales.[9] [10] Muchos filósofos importantes fueron a la vez grandes científicos, teólogos o políticos, y algunas nociones fundamentales de estas disciplinas todavía son objeto de estudio filosófico. Esta superposición entre disciplinas se debe a que la filosofía es una disciplina muy amplia. En la actualidad sin embargo y desde el siglo XIX, la mayoría de filósofos han restringido su área de investigación, y se caracterizan por estudiar las cuestiones más fundamentales y generales. Etimología[editar] Busto de Pitágoras, a quien se atribuye la invención de la palabra «filosofía». Según Pitágoras, la vida era comparable a los juegos olímpicos, porque en ellos encontramos tres clases de personas: las que buscan honor y gloria, las que buscan riquezas, y las que simplemente buscan contemplar el espectáculo, los filósofos. Ramas de la filosofía[editar]

Luna Ticks If things actually did look as we expected them to, that would be evidence for a hoax. The Lunar surface is not a Hollywood set, it is not subject to Earth gravity, and it is not planned to look exactly as we'd expect it to look from here. It is an alien, cold environment, utterly hostile to life and very foreign to what we consider normal perceptually. If things on NASA's footage and still shots looked as we'd expect them to in a Hollywood movie, then by golly we'd have to suspect a hoax. As it is, though, we've seen that many elements of Lunar truth are not exactly as we'd consider normal -- which, obviously, indicates that whatever happens on the Moon is not normal, at least not by the term used for Earthlings. Which is entirely to be expected for reality, not some kind of constructed fantasy. Note too that Cameron's movie Titanic, as realistic as it was, in 1997, was vastly expensive, and he had the pick of the lot for FX fakery. On a personal note:

Humanistic psychology Humanistic psychology is a psychological perspective which rose to prominence in the mid-20th century in response to the limitations of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory and B.F. Skinner's behaviorism.[1] With its roots running from Socrates through the Renaissance, this approach emphasizes individuals inherent drive towards self-actualization and creativity. It typically holds that people are inherently good. It adopts a holistic approach to human existence and pays special attention to such phenomena as creativity, free will, and human potential. It encourages viewing ourselves as a "whole person" greater than the sum of our parts and encourages self exploration rather than the study of behavior in other people. Humanistic psychology acknowledges spiritual aspiration as an integral part of the human psyche. Origins[edit] One of humanistic psychology's early sources was the work of Carl Rogers, who was strongly influenced by Otto Rank, who broke with Freud in the mid-1920s.

A-level results: Top universities secretly list 'banned' subjects teachers Oxford is one of the elite universities accused of operating a subjects blacklist. Photograph: Oli Scarff/Getty Images The country's top universities have been called on to come clean about an unofficial list or lists of "banned" A-level subjects that may have prevented tens of thousands of state school pupils getting on to degree courses. Teachers suspect the Russell Group of universities – which includes Oxford and Cambridge – of rejecting outright pupils who take A-level subjects that appear on the unpublished lists. The lists are said to contain subjects such as law, art and design, business studies, drama and theatre studies – non-traditional A-level subjects predominantly offered by comprehensives, rather than private schools. The London School of Economics is thought to be the only top university to publish its own list of "non-preferred" subjects. Teachers accused universities of putting comprehensive pupils at a disadvantage by refusing to publish their lists.
