One does not have to walk long in the hallways of schools to see that something is very wrong. We search in our students for the passion and enthusiasm for learning that they possessed before entering school. Instead, we find idle bystanders content to remain distant from formal instruction and from their hearts. Too often they remain dazed, passive consumers window shopping the mall of educati...

BACKGROUND Because beliefs about the soul after death affect the dying experience, patients and survivors may want to discuss those beliefs with their healthcare provider; however, almost no medical research describes such beliefs, leaving healthcare professionals ill prepared to respond. This exploratory study begins the descriptive process. METHODS Assuming that culture is key, we asked old...

the immortality of the rational soul is one of the most important issues of ibn sina’s philosophy and anthropology. he poses many arguments in proving this subject. ibn sina proves the immortality of rational soul by not having relation or position of the intelligible concepts, indefinite power of the rational soul in his actions as well as its needlessness to sensible faculties in some of its ...

Marshall Scott Poole identifies some important issues in the treatment of adaptive structuration theory in our review of the use of Giddens’s structuration theory in IS research (Jones and Karsten 2008). We argue, however, that a number of his criticisms reflect differences in our respective use of particular terms and that the statements made in Jones and Karsten are reasonable, especially in ...

To the thinking soul images serve as if they were contents of perception (…) That's why the soul never thinks without an image. As sight is the most highly developed sense, the name phantasia (imagination) has been formed from phaos (light) because it is not possible to see without light. The words or the language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of t...

the problem of mental causation was one of the most important problems in philosophy of mind at least from the time of descartes. since cartesian philosophers found the causal interaction of the soul and the body problematic, they explained away the direct relation between the soul and the body in different ways. however, the problem was not resolved in contemporary philosophy of mind when the ...

The article presents a contemporary understanding of the human soul according to Czesław Stanisław Bartnik (1929–2020), founder universalistic personalism. term “soul” has been understood in many different ways throughout history thought, hence it still raises confusion today. It is sometimes dismissed as too “religious” and replaced by word “ego” or “person.” seems that successful attempt link...

Let V be an open manifold with complete nonnegatively curved metric such that the normal sphere bundle to a soul has no section. We prove that the souls of nearby nonnegatively curved metrics on V are smoothly close. Combining this result with some topological properties of pseudoisotopies we show that for many V the space of complete nonnegatively curved metrics has infinite higher homotopy gr...
