The Self and its Shadows
Author: Stephen Mulhall
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191637939
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Stephen Mulhall presents a series of multiply interrelated essays which together make up an original study of selfhood (subjectivity or personal identity). He explores a variety of articulations (in philosophy, psychoanalysis, and the arts) of the idea that selfhood is best conceived as a matter of non-self-identity—for example, as becoming or self-overcoming, or as being what one is not and not being what one is, or as being doubled or divided. Philosophically, a sustained reading of the work of Nietzsche and Sartre is central to this project, although Wittgenstein is also fundamental to its concerns; Mulhall therefore draws extensively on texts usually associated with 'Continental' philosophical traditions, primarily in order to test the feasibility of a non-elitist form of moral perfectionism. Within the arts, several essays examine various films whose themes intersect with those of the philosophers under study (including Hollywood melodramas, recent spy movies such as the Bourne trilogy and the latest incarnation of James Bond, and David Fincher's 'Benjamin Button'); Wagner's Ring cycle is a recurrent concern; and the novels of Kingsley Amis, J. M. Coetzee and David Foster Wallace are also prominent.

Applied Psychology
Author: Dr. Asha Rani
Publisher: K.K. Publications
ISBN:
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The basic premise of applied psychology is the use of psychological principles and theories to overcome problems in real-life situations. Many areas of our lives and society have been influenced and changed by the often unnoticed application of psychological principles. Mental health, organizational psychology business management, education, health, product design, ergonomics, and law are just a few of the areas that have been influenced by the application of psychological principles and findings. The umbrella of applied psychology includes the areas of clinical psychology, counselling psychology, industrial and organizational psychology, occupational health psychology, human factors, forensic psychology, engineering psychology, as well as many other areas such as school psychology, sports psychology and community psychology. In addition, a number of specialized areas in the general field of psychology have applied branches. However, the lines between sub-branch specializations and major applied psychology categories are often blurred. For example, a human factors psychologist might use a cognitive psychology theory. Is this human factor psychology or applied cognitive psychology? So what sets applied psychology apart from other categories of psychology? An example helps to best explain this. Let's say there is a small team of cognitive psychologists researching attention span. They like many researchers are at a university using 18-year-old undergrads as participants in the lab located next door to their office. They collect statistically significant data and develop a model for how to suddenly grab a person’s attention. In the preparation of this book, it has been the author’s aim to keep in mind not only the requirements of students in this subject but as well the needs of students. Contents: • Signal Detection Theory • Perceptual Styles • Learning Theories: Hull, Tolman, Skinner • Cognitive Approaches in Learning: Latent Learning, Observational Learning • Experimental Analysis of Behaviour: Behaviour Modification, Shaping Discrimination Learning • Neurophysiology of Learning • Models of Memory: Atkinson and Shiffrin, Craik and Lockhart, Tulving • Semantic Memory: Episodic, Trace Model and Network Model • Long-term Memory: Retrieval Cues, Flashbulb Memory, Constructive Processes in Memory, Eyewitness Testimony, Autobiographical Memory • Biological Basis of Memory: The Search for the Engram, PET Scan, and Biochemical Factors in Memory
