False consciousness

I believe that these books have taught me a lot about my life and why I’ve made some of the decisions that have had an impact on me. The first book was very hard to read at first. I struggled quite a bit trying to comprehend it, but once I figured out Wegner’s style of writing; I started to understand better. The second book was a lot easier to read, I honestly enjoyed both books because they gave me a different view on life and how things work. My mother and father are both in my life, but my…

In ten minutes, what can you actually do? Actually very little, but when multiplied day by day, the significance of these ten minutes suddenly grows, becoming very influential. Entering the meditations, I was unsure of where my inner thoughts would take me. Reflecting now, it seems that I have actually traveled quite far. After ten days of meditating for ten uninterrupted minutes, I have begun to anticipate my departure from the rest of the world, finding solace in my own monologue. This retreat…

Berkeley believed that the reality was just a series of mental ideas, he explained it as Specific to be ia to be perceived there was nothing that existed in a physical world external to our minds.

Memories are figures that live in an unconcluded world. They are fragments of unrepeatable facts, that never happen twice. We don’t understand memory as a juvenile desire to go backwards, to replace the irreplaceable; memory is not repent for us. It is to look at the future knowing of the past. A Museum of Memory should be imagined from the non linear character of time and its images. And also how we can hold and transmit this knowledge in a broad and impartial way. A singular country,…

Aha Moment Life as we know it is a fragile ecosystem hanging in the balance between the “Aha!” moments of greats—rejecting old ideas and accepting new ones. “Eureka Hunt” by Jonah Lehrer delves into the science behind epiphanies, and suggests that we relax and take breaks to induce them. I find this information useful for not only Art 221, but as a student at Samford University above all. To begin, Lehrer addresses the mystery of epiphanies. Society largely deems the left half of the brain as…

Descartes thought that the mind was the center control center of the entire body. That the mind is in control over the body but…

Using the method we can apply phenomenological reduction to it. When looking at objects in our consciousness we perceive objects in a certain way. These objects might never appear to us whole but we are able to see that they are. We are able to phenomenologically reduce these objects in our…
