Postmodernism
Postmodernism – A Description Postmodernism is difficult to define, because to define it would violate the postmodernist's premise that no definite terms, boundaries, or absolute truths exist. In this article, the term “postmodernism” will remain vague, since those who claim to be postmodernists have varying beliefs and opinions on issues. Are nationalism, politics, religion, and war the result of a primitive human mentality? According to the Postmodern Worldview, the Western world society is an outdated lifestyle disguised under impersonal and faceless bureaucracies. Their concerns, for example, often include building and using weapons of mass destruction, encouraging an unlimited amount of consumerism thus fostering a wasteful throwaway society at the sacrifice of the earth’s resources and environment, while at the same time not serving the fair and equitable socioeconomic needs of the populace. Postmodernism claims to be the successor to the 17th century Enlightenment. Study Truth!
Karl Marx
1. Marx’s Life and Works Karl Marx was born in Trier, in the German Rhineland, in 1818. Although his family was Jewish they converted to Christianity so that his father could pursue his career as a lawyer in the face of Prussia’s anti-Jewish laws. A precocious schoolchild, Marx studied law in Bonn and Berlin, and then wrote a PhD thesis in Philosophy, comparing the views of Democritus and Epicurus. The German Ideology, co-written with Engels in 1845, was also unpublished but this is where we see Marx beginning to develop his theory of history. The works so far mentioned amount only to a small fragment of Marx’s opus, which will eventually run to around 100 large volumes when his collected works are completed. 2. The intellectual climate within which the young Marx worked was dominated by the influence of Hegel, and the reaction to Hegel by a group known as the Young Hegelians, who rejected what they regarded as the conservative implications of Hegel’s work. 2.1 ‘On The Jewish Question’
Time dilation
Time dilation explains why two working clocks will report different times after different accelerations. For example, ISS astronauts return from missions having aged slightly less than they would have been if they had remained on Earth, and GPS satellites work because they adjust for similar bending of spacetime to coordinate with systems on Earth.[1] An accurate clock at rest with respect to one observer may be measured to tick at a different rate when compared to a second observer's own equally accurate clocks. This effect arises neither from technical aspects of the clocks nor from the fact that signals need time to propagate, but from the nature of spacetime itself. Overview[edit] In theory, and to make a clearer example, time dilation could affect planned meetings for astronauts with advanced technologies and greater travel speeds. Time dilation is caused by differences in either gravity or relative velocity. Relative velocity time dilation[edit] Gravitational time dilation[edit]
POSTMODERNE - Postmoderne, c'est quoi ?
La science de la complexité dans le postmoderne Il n’y a aujourd’hui pas plus de raison pour l’optimisme que pour le pessimisme. Tout reste possible, mais tout demeure incertain. Immanuel Wallerstein Post-Moderne ou Postmoderne ? Une rencontre avec les idées de Lyotard, Derrida & Compagnie, oui je l’ai dit… Mais je voudrais bien m’arrêter à la science d’abord, encore avant de « déconstruire » la littérature post-moderne ou postmoderne. Le philosophe Jean-François Lyotard a trouvé qu’une relation durable est bien possible entre le développement des sciences de la complexité et l’imaginaire de la philosophie du postmoderne. Et c’est ici, où la philosophie postmoderne et disons la science du désordre et du chaos se donne la main avec cette logique plutôt floue.

Philosophy and the Hippy Dream - Hippyland
Hippies from A to Zby Skip Stone Hippy Philosophy and the Hippy Dream We are stardust, we are golden, and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden. Joni Mitchell/CS&N (Woodstock) So what do hippies want anyway? What is their utopian fantasy? We all want to change the world. How? It seems as though there's some kind of "land grab" going on, except it's not just land that people are grabbing, it's resources and power. It's a problem of too many people, diminishing resources, human greed, rampant consumerism, and massive development of the few remaining untouched places like the rainforests. I'm just beginning to see... Then on an individual basis, hippies maintain that we must get back in touch with that part of ourselves that we lost. Like a true Nature's child, we were born, born to be wild Steppenwolf (Born to be Wild) Many hippies consider themselves pagan. Gaian philosophy is an outgrowth of paganism. Man's shortsightedness is blinding him to the true nature of the world.
Lackadaisy Expressions
Boy, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure! I can explain expression drawing...and it'll be way better than all those tutorials out there that are nothing but charts of generic expressions. Um. Anyway, I found all I could really do was try to explain ways to teach yourself...and then add some pictures.
Le défi du postmodernisme
Le défi du postmodernisme Gary Land Dieu est mort ! Voici, je vous montre le surhomme. Ainsi parlait Nietzsche, le philosophe allemand du XIXème siècle, en donnant naissance au postmodernisme. Qu’est-ce que le postmodernisme ? Postmodernisme : un peu d’histoire1 Nietzsche : la réalité est ce que je crée. Mais il y a un problème. Heidegger : la réalité, c’est l’« être ». Foucault : la réalité est une libération continuelle. Derrida : aucun sens évident en soi. Malgré les différences importantes entre ces quatre penseurs, ce sont eux qui ont posé les bases philosophiques du postmodernisme à travers trois contributions. Le postmodernisme et les sciences humaines Le postmodernisme a commencé en tant que mouvement intellectuel reconnu à la fin des années soixante et au début des années soixante-dix.2 Un examen des écrits du postmodernisme et à son sujet révèle de façon frappante la mise en valeur de la nature changeante et fragmentaire du mouvement. L’antifondationalisme. Problèmes pratiques.
