It was 7th August 2011, and 10.55 pm. Greg, one of Seth’s staff members who was about to pour a cup of coffee for him, heard an unusual beep coming from his monitor. It was pulsating on the monitor repeatedly at regular intervals. He went back to his seat immediately; diverted his concentration fully on it and realized that may be the sign of SETI’s dream coming through. .... He said “As human beings, we should respect each other more than anything. Now I could visualize the damage we were doing to the moon people’s society with more and more of our influence and interference. Dooda’s speech was an eye opener to me in the matter of respecting each other’s belief system on which human societies are built. Everybody should realize the amount of influence that a belief system can have on the structure of a human society. Belief systems influence the architecture of our buildings, the food we eat, legal systems we follow, our customs, rituals we observe and how we behave”. ...

Standing frail, she diffused her smell far and wide. Not a man who was not attracted to this beauty of fairies. Not a man who didn’t wish to appropriate her for self. But her misty eyes were still poignant for love. For which vulnerability, the men staged duals a plenty. Yet she remained Virgin, for none had the limbs enough. The luxury of choice she didn't have, But her heart plotted a rebel nevertheless. An evening clouded the Sun of the West. When the sounds of prayer were sent in the air with smell. But the dog the men are, they heard only smell. And she remained Virgin, for none had the ears enough. In the morning of the sun after an endless night of hope. She dreamt of a prince of valor, chivalry and a lovely soul. He came to rescue her from the grip of darkness. And embraced her in his arms with love and dearness. Alas! Her dream broke for it was a day-dream in the Sun. And she remained Virgin, for had she not the eyes enough. . Never did she like the shabby wires inside her head. And gave all credit to her heart, eyes, face and smell. Finally, she turned to her mind in despair for help. And the a...

I have come to believe: what it is to be a man is not something rigid. Every generation has its war and every thousand has its God. For every new generation, babies are born from union and raised in every variation. The boy becomes man by culture, tradition, religion or war. Some men become so by choice and some do not live to become men at all. These men may grow and progress through life yet find themselves trapped in the shadows listlessly searching for something they cannot even name....

Ce Volume 1 de la Deuxième partie examine les facteurs qui font progresser la science. Il expose les différences entre la science normale et la pseudoscience en montrant l'importance de la méthode scientifique dans l'avancement de la science. Il introduit le concept de Vérité dans la science en soulignant que même si la vérité est basée sur la méthode scientifique, la science peut-elle être vraie? Peut-elle représenter la réalité? L'auteur se concentre sur la science moderne qui, selon lui, est née de la révolution scientifique qui a commencé avec Galilée et qui a conduit à la révolution industrielle. Les impacts de celle-ci sont analysés à la lumière du modernisme, de la modernisation et de la modernité, tous trois liés au progrès scientifique. Le livre traite également du bond scientifique Newtonien – en analysant particulièrement le tissu sociopolitique de l’Angleterre d'alors – et d’Albert Einstein en montrant comment il a changé l’histoire. Selon l'auteur, notre monde physique lui-même peut nous aider à comprendre le progrès scientifique. Ainsi, il explique, entre autres, la structure des atomes et des molécules, le rôle de la ...

Excerpt Details
La science se distingue souvent des autres domaines de la culture humaine par sa nature progressive: contrairement à l'art, à la religion, à la philosophie, à la morale et à la politique, il existe des normes claires ou des critères normatifs pour identifier les améliorations et les progrès scientifiques. Cependant, de nombreux philosophes des sciences des années 1960 et 1970 ont contesté efficacement la vision cumulative traditionnelle des connaissances scientifiques et la notion de progrès a également été remise en question dans le domaine de la science. Les débats sur le concept normatif du progrès portent en même temps sur des questions axiologiques concernant les buts et objectifs de la science. La tâche de l’analyse philosophique est d’examiner des réponses alternatives à la question: que signifie le progrès scientifique? Cette question conceptuelle peut alors être complétée par la question méthodologique: comment reconnaître les avancées progressives de la science? Par rapport à une définition du progrès et à un compte rendu de ses meilleurs indicateurs, on peut alors étudier la question factuelle: dans quelle mesure et à que...

Description Details
This Volume 1 of Part II considers the factors that make science progress. It lays out the differences between normal science and pseudoscience by showing the importance of the scientific method in the advancement of science. It introduces the concept of Truth in science by raising the point that even though truth is based on the scientific method, can science be true? Can it depict reality? The author focuses on modern science, which, he thinks, was born thanks to the Scientific Revolution which started with Galileo Galilei and led to the Industrial Revolution. The impacts of the latter is analyzed in light modernism, modernization, and modernity, all three linked to scientific progress. The book also talks about the Newtonian scientific leap – by analyzing particularly the then social and political fabrics of England – and Albert Einstein by showing how he changed history. According to the author, our very physical world can help us understand scientific progress. So, he explains, among other things, the structure of atoms and molecules, the role of physics in the understanding of our universe, Quantum Mechanics, and the importanc...

Excerpt Details
Science is often distinguished from other domains of human culture by its progressive nature: in contrast to art, religion, philosophy, morality, and politics, there exist clear standards or normative criteria for identifying improvements and advances in science. However, the traditional cumulative view of scientific knowledge was effectively challenged by many philosophers of science in the 1960s and the 1970s, and thereby the notion of progress was also questioned in the field of science. Debates on the normative concept of progress are at the same time concerned with axiological questions about the aims and goals of science. The task of philosophical analysis is to consider alternative answers to the question: What is meant by progress in science? This conceptual question can then be complemented by the methodological question: How can we recognize progressive developments in science? Relative to a definition of progress and an account of its best indicators, one may then study the factual question: To what extent, and in which respects, is science progressive? What is driving the dynamism of science? Why are science and man inse...

Гомо-сапиенс — рациональное животное озабоченное выживанием. Ему нужны здоровье и счастье. Он читает книги о том, как быстро добиться успеха и разбогатеть. Или вообще не читает. Человек — творец, он стремится стать лучше и сделать лучше окружающий мир. Ему нужны идеалы, он ищет ответы на вечные вопросы. Эта книга для людей, а точнее для подрастающего поколения. Ее автор — создатель «обьективной этики», моральной системы предлагающей наиболее правдоподобное обьяснение мира и помогающей найти упомянутые ответы. Книга повторяет структуру авторского видеоблога — она состоит из 36 бесед, которые могут послужить чтением на досуге или, предпочтительнее, быть использованы в качестве пособия по саморазвитию. Текст каждой беседы желательно внимательно прочесть, обдумать доводы за и против, а также по возможности обсудить с кем-нибудь дабы сформировать собственное обоснованное мнение....

Quoi, qui, où, quand, pourquoi, et comment sont probablement les questions immédiates auxquelles vous souhaitez avoir une réponse si vous lisez cet essai. Si vous avez lu la section intitulée Ma vie, je suppose que vous avez déjà une idée concernant les quatre premières questions et que vous êtes plus intéressé par les deux dernières. Permettez-moi de commencer en disant qu'il n'y a pas de réponse simple et claire à aucune de ces questions. Mais, avant d'aborder les questions susmentionnées, j'aimerais profiter de l'occasion pour dire un mot sur qu'est cet essai, c'est-à-dire quel genre ou quelle forme d'essai s'agit-il, en plus d'être philosophique en termes de contenu. En ce qui concerne la forme, il comprend deux volets. Tout d'abord, il s'agit d'un essai dialectique. Sur les nombreux sujets abordés, je présente une thèse - bref mais au point - et un argument. Ensuite, je tente de m'opposer à mon propre argument, auquel j'oppose un contre-argument, mais je contrebalance le contre-argument avec un argument final et nouveau. C'est une technique appelée stratégie du dragon chinois. Deuxièmement, l'essai est critique. Comme le travai...

Est-ce que Ma vie, Premiers poèmes, Poèmes philosophiques est un travail philosophique? Avant d'approfondir l'analyse philosophique du travail d'Ackermann, il convient de définir ce qui rend quelque chose ou, dans notre cas, ce qui rend un travail littéraire philosophique. Mais pour détecter une orientation ou un aspect philosophique dans quelque chose, il faut tout d'abord savoir ce qu'est la philosophie. Vous et moi savons déjà ce que la philosophie implique, mais avant d'aller plus loin, récapitulons-nous un peu. Par définition, la philosophie signifie trois choses: d'abord, étymologiquement, la philosophie est l'amour de la sagesse - du grec: philo = amour, et sophia = sagesse, connaissance. Deuxièmement, elle regroupe tout ce qui traite et peut nous aider à comprendre la signification de la vie, de la connaissance, de la vérité et de la nature, etc. Troisièmement, elle regroupe tout ce qui peut être considéré comme une méthode servant à accomplir quelque chose ou une façon de vivre nos vies, c'est-à-dire un principe directeur. Que ce soit pour nous aider à acquérir la sagesse et la connaissance, comprendre des concepts importan...
