Mind Your Ps and Qs
Author: Edward R. W. Makhene
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412008409
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Very often we are forced to retract our staunchly held positions after confidently vouching for the truth of what are really opinions and beliefs masquerading as facts. In this book Nellie and Jacob begin by exploring how our interpretations of what we individually perceive and conceive must coincide if we are to speak meaningfully about what is in our world: tables, minds, colours, processes, etc. They consider basic ways of knowing and their relationship to what is out there and what is in our minds. They examine the validity of our inferences and predictions: why q does not follow from p as the newspaper editorial alleges, and why we can anticipate tomorrow's sunrise. They ponder the gap between the language of time and the logic of time and why now cannot be a split instant during which nothing can happen, but must be a certain period during which some things do happen. They inquire into how our moral choices relate to their perceived causes and effects, and how our lives are built around our predictions and our knowledge of apparent causes and effects. They also discuss the bodily and mental natures of their own identities, what meanings to attach to the different stages of their lives, and the possibility of life after death.

Counselling and Identity
Author: Alex Howard
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0230628133
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Questions relating to personal identity are of central importance within counselling, which is often seen as an essentially (and perhaps excessively) 'me-focussed' activity. People often come to counsellors to find, reclaim, come to terms with, or control (aspects of) 'themselves.' They want to see how they have been shaped, helped or damaged by their circumstances. Yet there has been surprisingly little systematic examination of the conceptions of 'self' that are, could be, or should be available to counsellors. This accessible book meets this need and more deeply than most other texts into the foundations and underlying presuppositions of the subject. Alex Howard takes a fresh look at counselling and psychotherapy and advocates greater philosophical and sociological awareness for trainees.

The Act of Thinking
Author: Derek Melser
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262263831
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
A new theory proposes that thinking is a learned action. In this remarkable monograph, Derek Melser argues that the core assumption of both folk psychology and cognitive science—that thinking goes on in the head—is mistaken. Melser argues that thinking is not an intracranial process of any kind, mental or neural, but is rather a learned action of the person. After an introduction in which he makes a prima facie case that thinking is an action, Melser reviews action-based theories of thinking advanced by Ryle, Vygotsky, Hampshire and others. He then presents his own theory of "token concerting," according to which thinking is a special kind of token performance, by the individual, of certain social, concerted activity. He examines the developmental role of concerted activity, the token performance of concerted activity, the functions of speech, the mechanics and uses of covert tokening, empathy, the origins of solo action, the actional nature of perception, and various kinds and aspects of mature thinking. In addition, he analyzes the role of metaphors in the folk notion of mind. While intending his theory as a contribution to the philosophy of mind, Melser aims also at a larger goal: to establish actions as a legitimate philosophical given, self-explanatory and sui generis. To this end, he argues in the final chapter against the possibility of scientific explanation of actions. The Act of Thinking opens up a large new area for philosophical research.

Category : Juvenile Fiction

Pages : 219
Book Description
NOTICE: Explosive content contained within. (Rebel boys and indomitable girls have always been a combustible combination.) All the signs of Fairy's unraveling were there: a strict rationing of pixie dust; the disappearance of a magical species; a reckless reliance on spies plucked from human orphanages. Annabelle was no orphan. Her father was perhaps the most infamous man in Childerbridge—and she’d never live down the shame of it, though she’d also never accept that the charges against him were true—not most of the time. She’ll have to go to the end of Never to prove what is true…about Never itself, about her father, and her own work-worn self.
