Dialectic

Protagoras is on the opposing side of this argument, he as a profound sophist believes it can be taught. As the dialectic ensues, both of them find themselves arguing for the opposite side of which they started their debate.

In order to gain a better understanding of how truth is discovered rather than manufactured, one must examine the philosophy of Plato.

The assimilation process will usually take some times, and people of one culture will often find it hard to find a common ground of understanding. However, it’s still possible to grow close ties regardless of cultural and linguistic differences. My roommate, Humberto, from Mexico has proven this notion by his own…

Workplace Ethnography I want to focus a different conception of the responsibility of investigations in the development of workplace or workers inquiry. I would suggest this as a more than literary modality, rather a forerunner of a kind of militant ethnography that is sorely needed. First of all reference is to Engels The Condition of the Working Class in England, then the huge chapter “The Working Day” in Marx’s Capital, volume one, right through to very late in Marx’s life when he penned 100…

Iran can be seen as an “old and great civilization,” (Introduction), or it can be seen as a place riddled with “fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism,” (introduction) In Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi disproves preconceptions of Iranian culture through the use of illustrations in a graphic novel format. First written in French, Satrapi’s graphic novel is set in Iran during the Iranian Revolution, and tells the story of Satrapi’s childhood, through her childhood self, “Marji.” In the graphic…

To best understand cognitive dissonance, consider the title of…

How do we avoid the uncanny becoming just another clichéd trope on the methodological menu? How might we revise ideas concerning the uncanny and explore what it means to us as Fine Art practitioners, keeping in mind ontological ambiguity? Freud described the uncanny as the class of frightening things that leads us back to what is known and familiar (Freud, 1919). Previously Jentsch concluded that the uncanny was a fear of the familiar based on intellectual uncertainty (Jentsch, 1906). The…

that in many ways strongly resembled the original dyadic state that the infant had with the mother.

The pre-enlightenment subjectivity operated on the matter that humanity, language and rationality were not fundamentally distinct and superior towards nature. Rather, the pre-enlightenment subject was in a…
