Catalyst Project | Assembl Assembl and Imagination for People are currently involved in a European project called CATALYST (the Collective Applied Intelligence and Analytics for Social Innovation Project). CATALYST is a 2 year EU-funded project that brings together a number of actors to create a platform that supports public deliberation in complex debates. On today’s social media platforms it is impossible for citizens and moderators to grasp the state of the debate, or know where they might best contribute to advance understanding. In other words, a lack of organization to the debate, or awareness of what other members are contributing negatively affects how important people view their contributions to be. Social media platforms are not designed for moderators or content curation to ensure people feel their views are being valued. CATALYST is a multidisciplinary effort to tackle this problem.
Aldous Huxley English writer and philosopher (1894–1963) Aldous Leonard Huxley ( AWL-dəs; 26 July 1894 – 22 November 1963) was an English writer and philosopher.[1][2][3][4] His bibliography spans nearly 50 books,[5][6] including novels and non-fiction works, as well as essays, narratives, and poems. Born into the prominent Huxley family, he graduated from Balliol College, Oxford, with an undergraduate degree in English literature. Early in his career, he published short stories and poetry and edited the literary magazine Oxford Poetry, before going on to publish travel writing, satire, and screenplays. Early life[edit] English Heritageblue plaque at 16 Bracknell Gardens, Hampstead, London, commemorating Aldous, his brother Julian, and his father Leonard Huxley's education began in his father's well-equipped botanical laboratory, after which he enrolled at Hillside School near Godalming.[20][21] He was taught there by his own mother for several years until she became terminally ill. Career[edit]
Understanding Understanding (also called intellection) is a psychological process related to an abstract or physical object, such as a person, situation, or message whereby one is able to think about it and use concepts to deal adequately with that object. Understanding is a relation between the knower and an object of understanding. Understanding implies abilities and dispositions with respect to an object of knowledge sufficient to support intelligent behavior.[1] An understanding is the limit of a conceptualization. To understand something is to have conceptualized it to a given measure. Examples[edit] Understanding as a model[edit] Gregory Chaitin, a noted computer scientist, propounds a view that comprehension is a kind of data compression.[2] In his essay "The Limits of Reason", he argues that understanding something means being able to figure out a simple set of rules that explains it. Components of understanding[edit] Cognition and affect[edit] Religious perspectives[edit] See also[edit]
Filosofia greco-romana A filosofia greco-romana foi a maneira com que os antigos gregos e romanos organizaram, nos últimos cinco séculos antes de Cristo, uma forma de conhecimento, um modo de reflexão ou uma teoria da realidade. Esta filosofia pode ser classificada em dois períodos: o cosmológico e o antropológico clássico. Classificação[editar | editar código-fonte] Período Cosmológico[editar | editar código-fonte] Neste estágio primitivo e rural, predominou uma explicação mitológica do universo e da origem das principais significações da realidade. Este saber mitológico "explicava", para a época e para aquele momento histórico, as principais questões da existência humana, da natureza e da sociedade. Neste período, entre vários filósofos que buscavam o conhecimento do princípio material da natureza, encontram-se Período antropológico / clássico[editar | editar código-fonte] A filosofia, como ciência e atividade humana, no início foi produzida por homens situados em determinados momentos históricos.

Internet of Things, Cloud and Espionage of Safety Internet of Things (IoT) is a concern not only for the security, all cloud based service providers and to the software defined approaches. Since 2010, we are mostly around the topics of core Networking and Virtualization. Gradually, we introduced Cloud Computing as a category. So, far we have the highest number of helpful information providing articles, guides on Cloud Computing as a single website. Today, even to an user, it is not surpassing that Heartbleed was possibly known by NSA and few software companies exploited the almost resource less, one person controlled OpenSSL project. The issue of security is an important issue which repeatedly peeps in the ICT sector and beyond. Let us discuss what has emerged from a recent conference, where the main topics were related to the world of cloud computing, new dangers emerging in the field of security and data protection); the discussion held at the well-known and prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Transpersonal psychology Issues considered in transpersonal psychology include spiritual self-development, self beyond the ego, peak experiences, mystical experiences, systemic trance, spiritual crises, spiritual evolution, religious conversion, altered states of consciousness, spiritual practices, and other sublime and/or unusually expanded experiences of living. The discipline attempts to describe and integrate spiritual experience within modern psychological theory and to formulate new theory to encompass such experience. Transpersonal psychology has made several contributions to the academic field, and the studies of human development, consciousness and spirituality.[3][4] Transpersonal psychology has also made contributions to the fields of psychotherapy[5] and psychiatry.[6][7] Definition[edit] Lajoie and Shapiro[8] reviewed forty definitions of transpersonal psychology that had appeared in academic literature over the period from 1968 to 1991.

Wave function However, complex numbers are not necessarily used in all treatments. Louis de Broglie in his later years proposed a real-valued wave function connected to the complex wave function by a proportionality constant and developed the de Broglie–Bohm theory. The unit of measurement for ψ depends on the system. For one particle in three dimensions, its units are [length]−3/2. These unusual units are required so that an integral of |ψ|2 over a region of three-dimensional space is a unitless probability (the probability that the particle is in that region). Historical background[edit] In the 1920s and 1930s, quantum mechanics was developed using calculus and linear algebra. Wave functions and function spaces[edit] Functional analysis is commonly used to formulate the wave function with a necessary mathematical precision; usually they are quadratically integrable functions (at least locally) because it is compatible with the Hilbert space formalism mentioned below.

Philia, éros, agapè, storgê En effet dans les mots “je t’aime” il peut souvent y avoir bien des confusions, des attentes et des sentiments différents ! Le terme amour recouvre quatre sentiments distincts: l’éros, la philia, l’agapè et la storgê. 1. La philia se rapproche de l’amitié telle qu’on l’entend aujourd’hui, c’est une forte estime réciproque entre deux personnes de statuts sociaux proches.C’est une extension de l’amitié. 2. désigne l’attirance sexuelle, le désir. 3. est l’amour du prochain, une relation univoque que l’on rapprocherait aujourd’hui de l’altruisme. 4. décrit l’amour familial, comme l’amour, l’affection d’un parent pour son enfant. Alors quand on vous dira “je t’aime” sachez traduire ! Benjamin Leplat
Carl Jung Carl Gustav Jung (/jʊŋ/; German: [ˈkarl ˈɡʊstaf jʊŋ]; 26 July 1875 – 6 June 1961), often referred to as C. G. Jung, was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology.[2] Jung proposed and developed the concepts of the collective unconscious, archetypes, and extraversion and introversion. The central concept of analytical psychology is individuation—the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious, while still maintaining their relative autonomy.[3] Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development.[4] Jung saw the human psyche as "by nature religious"[5] and made this religiousness the focus of his explorations.[6] Jung is one of the best known contemporary contributors to dream analysis and symbolization. Early years[edit] Childhood family[edit] Jung's mother left Laufen for several months of hospitalization near Basel for an unknown physical ailment. Childhood memories[edit]
Olfaction Volatile small molecule odorants, non-volatile proteins, and non-volatile hydrocarbons may all produce olfactory sensations. Some animal species are able to smell carbon dioxide in minute concentrations.[5] Study of olfaction[edit] Early scientific study of olfaction includes the extensive doctoral dissertation of Eleanor Gamble, published in 1898, which compared olfactory to other stimulus modalities, and implied that smell had a lower intensity discrimination.[6] As the Epicurean and atomistic Roman philosopher Lucretius (1st Century BCE) speculated, different odors are attributed to different shapes and sizes of "atoms" (odor molecules in the modern understanding) that stimulate the olfactory organ [2]. Main olfactory system[edit] In vertebrates smells are sensed by olfactory sensory neurons in the olfactory epithelium.

SENOFANE: CRITICA ALL’ANTROPOMORFISMO – PHILOSOPHICA & THEOLOGICA uno solo è Dio e tutto fa vibrare con la forza del pensiero Senofane, nativo di Colofone nella Ionia, è vissuto tra la metà del VI e la metà del V secolo a.C. Gli sono attribuiti alcuni frammenti dai quali si deduce che egli abbia preso le distanze dalla religione pubblica, quella cioè degli dei dell’Olimpo. Come è possibile professare la fede in divinità così simili agli uomini, tanto che posseggono i nostri stessi difetti? Ecco cosa ha detto: «Omero ed Esiodo hanno attribuito agli dei tutto quello che per gli uomini è oggetto di vergogna e di biasimo: rubare, commettere adulterio e ingannarsi a vicenda». In realtà Senofane non si professa ateo, perché alle divinità antropomorfe dell’Olimpo sostituisce un dio sommo ed unico che tutto muove e vivifica con la forza del pensiero: «Uno, dio, tra gli dei e tra gli uomini il più grande, non simile agli uomini né per aspetto né per intelligenza.

Tummo Tummo (Tibetan: gtum-mo; Sanskrit: caṇḍālī) is a form of breathing, found in the Six Yogas of Naropa,[1] Lamdre, Kalachakra and Anuyoga teachings of Tibetan Vajrayana. Tummo originally derives from Indian Vajrayana tradition, including the instruction of the Mahasiddha Krishnacarya and the Hevajra Tantra. The purpose of tummo is to gain control over body processes during the completion stage of 'highest yoga tantra' (Anuttarayoga Tantra) or Anuyoga. Nomenclature, orthography and etymology[edit] Tummo (gTum mo in Wylie transliteration, also spelled Tumo, or Tum-mo; Sanskrit caṇḍālī) is a Tibetan word, literally meaning fierce [woman]. Orthography[edit] Tummo may also be rendered in English approximating its phonemic enunciation as 'Dumo'.[3] Practice[edit] The channels do not exist in the way they are visualized during Vajrayana practice. After familiarity in trul khor, there is the practice of tummo. Kundalini and tummo[edit] Miranda Shaw clarifies: Overview[edit] Dr Arya (2006) also states:
