Transcendental function

Charles Sheeler photographed the abandoned textile mills of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company in Manchester, New Hampshire and a decaying woolen mill building in Ballardvale, Massachusetts while doing artist-in-residences at Currier Gallery of Art and Phillips Academy Andover respectively. He superimposed these photographs onto one another, creating what he believed to be a more realistic view of his surroundings, Millyard Passage. For him, these superimposed images represented the memories…

and phenomenology are quite different from each other. Naturalism argues that sciences are able to explain everything the mind, brain and behavior and they are prior to all other sciences. Phenomenology on the other hand argues that by using the transcendental attitude it is able to see the structures of experience in order to understand essential features. Phenomenology argues to get truths that explain why things are in relation to our…

Shiva Response The sculpture of Shiva from the Chola Dynasty in the 10th Century, expresses the cultures desire to freeze an icon, and have a physical density of substance important to state of mind of the people.

There is a dialogue between the old and the new when looking at this object and recognizing the setting that it finds itself in. When looking at specific aspects of this Icon the viewer immediately…

policymakers might learn from my organization’s support for a punitive alongside rehabilitative justice model through specializing in matters more centered on therapeutic jurisprudence as its theoretical foundation given that they should not, “only function as a mechanism for dispute resolution, but must also deal with the variety of social and psychological problems that brings offenders into the criminal justice system…judges [to officials] need to seek solutions that address the causes of…

“Life Without Principle””. Living simply was crucial to Thoreau because he believed it was crucial to live life to the fullest and to attempt to understand the dense, complex functions of the mind. He spent an unsurmountable amount of time spent on making sense of how he fit into the plan of the world. This is made clear when John Powell writes, “the task of living life, exploring the depths of his mind, and validating his own…

One of the major questions in the philosophy of mind is how people come to understand one another and engage in social cognition. Gallagher, Varga, Fuchs, and De Jaegher all attempt to address this question by embracing a conception of sociality that holds that people come to understand each other and engage in collective meaning-making through robust second-person interactions. In this paper, I will attempt to show that such a conception of sociality can address many of the problems that have…

From cleansing the body, to activating the nervous system, to improving one's intelligence or sex life. Stretching in yoga is quite relaxing. There are perscribed positions known as asanas.

Durkheim trusted that religion assumed an important part in giving union and standards in a general public. He stressed over the potential results to the social request when a general public loses its religiosity. This…

Time’, ‘space’, ‘place’ are some of the frequently used (sometimes misused) terms in literature, and they have been defined in different ways and from various theoretical perspectives. In the colonial discourse, in particular, the concept ‘place’ was closely related to knowledge and power in so far as the process of mapping the ‘other spaces ‘ was deployed to reproduce dominant world view. While the tenants of imperialism are teleological, its practices have always been geographic. As Edward…

fairly simple concept to grasp, as it is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter of that circle. Pi is notorious to the masses for its aeonian nature; however, mathematicians classify this attribute as being both irrational and transcendental. Skeptics and misanthropes of Pi’s characteristics have claimed that it is a simple calculated number and there must be a pattern to its digits. Nevertheless, this was proven to be a false claim, as the digits of Pi have passed a…
