Showing results for "Aspects" in Philosophy

Today's "machine-learning" systems, trained by data, are so effective that we've invited them to see and hear for us - and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Systems cull résumés until, years later, we discover that they have inherent gender biases. Algorithms decide bail and parole - and appear to assess black and white defendants differently. We can no longer assume that our mortgage application, or even our medical tests, will be seen by human eyes. And autonomous vehicles on our streets can injure or kill.

La paradójica utilidad a la que me refiero no es la misma en cuyo nombre se consideran inútiles los saberes humanísticos y, más en general, todos los saberes que no producen beneficios. En una acepción muy distinta y mucho más amplia, he querido poner en el centro de mis reflexiones la idea de utilidad de aquellos saberes cuyo valor esencial es del todo ajeno a cualquier finalidad utilitarista.

Arthur Schopenhauer's The Art of Literature is a lively, illuminating and brutally honest collection of essays on literary style and values, writers and critics, and the nature of genius. Schopenhauer advises seclusion and independent thought, criticizes Pliny's reading habits, and explains the pitfalls of certain schools of thought and even virtues like modesty. His thought-provoking arguments, caustic wit, and accessible style make this a must for any aspiring writer.

In sechs Betrachtungen geht Descartes der Frage nach, wie wir Wissen begründen können, das unerschütterlich wahr ist. Die Schrift verbindet radikalen Zweifel mit metaphysischen, erkenntnistheoretischen und theologischen Überlegungen – klar, systematisch und bis heute wirkmächtig.

What would it take to transform industrial-era schools into modern organizations capable of supporting deep learning for all? Jal Mehta and Sarah Fine's quest to answer this question took them inside some of America's most innovative schools and classrooms - places where educators are rethinking both what and how students should learn. The story they tell is alternately discouraging and hopeful. Drawing on hundreds of hours of observations and interviews at 30 different schools, Mehta and Fine reveal that deeper learning is more often the exception than the rule.

Rudolf Steiner (1861 - 1925) war Gründer der Waldorfschulen und Wegbereiter der Anthroposophie. In diesem Buch legt er seine Philosophie dar und beschreibt, unter welchen Bedingungen der Mensch in seinem Denken und Handeln als geistig freies Wesen bezeichnet werden kann - ein Grundlagenwerk also.

Our universities are broken. Established as sanctuaries of truth and higher learning, they are now decaying institutions that are failing a generation of young people. Consumed by funding and admissions crises, dominated by dogma and governed by self-interest, their founding principles have been corrupted. This explosive book shows us why, and what we must do to fix them.

Cosa fareste potendo sfruttare un anello che rende invisibile chi lo porta? Platone, nella Repubblica, non si faceva troppe illusioni. Quanto a Eraclito, è vero che «tutto scorre»? Nietzsche, invece, cosa intendeva quando proclamava che Dio è morto – è possibile vivere in un mondo senza Dio? E con Dio? Difficile rispondere e difficile accettare che noi non siamo quello che pensiamo di essere, come hanno spiegato Freud e Montaigne. O ancora, cosa pensa Bergson del tempo? Cosa significa la banalità del male, di cui parla Hannah Arendt?

"El porvenir de una ilusión" es una obra de 1927 de Sigmund Freud. Se considera su principal obra sobre la religión, vista como un fenómeno social contemporáneo. Para Freud, la base de la religión es el desamparo humano. Una reacción infantil a esto es el deseo de un padre protector. En la religión este deseo se cumple, pero sólo en la fantasía, y en este sentido la religión es una ilusión: una fantasía de cumplimiento de deseos. El progreso de la ciencia lleva al reconocimiento de la impotencia humana y, por tanto, al declive de la religión; Freud se congratula de esta evolución.

Im Jahre 1920 hielt Rudolf Steiner Vorträge über die Idee und Unterrichtsgestaltung der zu gründenden Waldorfschulen. Diese Vorträge sind faszinierende Zeitdokumente und werfen ein direktes Licht auf die Waldorf-Pädagogik.
