Experience Pain

The traditional perspective of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) as a behavioural problem has tended to downplay the role of gastrointestinal dysfunction. Contrary to predictions based on the traditional philosophy, a recent study has shown that IBS patients have increased pain tolerance compared to healthy subjects. This profile of pain tolerance is similar to that seen in chronic organic disease of the gut (eg, Crohn's disease), raising the possibility that IBS patients may experience pain resulting from gastrointestinal dysfunction. The recent finding of increased airway responsiveness to inhaled methacholine in certain IBS patients provides an objective and quantifiable measurement of tissue dysfunction in that syndrome, and focuses attention on possible mechanisms underlying the altered responsiveness of hollow organs in patients with IBS; these mechanisms are discussed.

This article discusses the context of this unique form of child play, its meaning, and its functional value. The major focus is on how these play activities have been communicated through centuries within themes of survival, lifestyle, and story. The article first reviews the cultural concept of play within discussions of adaptation, evolutionary process, and a culture-specific phenomenon, proceeds to examine how Mongolian traditional play encourages young children to be knowledgeable about nomadic values, and concludes with a discussion of how the context of the play of Mongolian nomadic children is situated within an understanding the concept of the ludic. </span></p></div></div></div></div>

RESUMENHeidegger ha ejercido una crítica constante de la fenomenología de Husserl desde el momento en que empezó a impartir sus primeras lecciones académicas. uno de los momentos culminantes de este proceso es Prolegomena zur Geschichte des Zeitbegriffs, el curso del verano de 1925. Haciendo un análisis detallado de la fenomenología de la conciencia de Husserl, Heidegger denuncia que los presupuestos en los que aquella se apoya la acercan a la filosofía tradicional y la alejan de sus pretensiones iniciales. La "fascinación por la tradición" y el predominio de la teoría son los resultados principales de esta crítica (destrucción) inmanente,PALABRAS CLAVEFENOMENOLOGÍA-CONCIENCIA-HUSSERL-HEIDEGGERABSTRACTAs from his early lectures in the university, Heidegger has been criticizing the phenomenology of Husserl. A critical moment of this process is Prolegomena zur Geschichte des Zeitbegriffs, the summer of 1925 course. By examining Husserl's phenomenology of conscience, Heidegger denounces that its assumptions lean it towards traditional philosophy and keep it away from its initial pretensions. The main outcomes of the critique are both the "fascination with tradition"and the primacy of theoryKEYWORDSPHENOMENOLOGY-CONSCIENCE-HUSSERL-HEIDEGGER

Expertise Defense

The Standard Picture of philosophical methodology includes the following claims: (A) Intuitive judgments form an epistemically distinctive kind; (B) Intuitive judgments play an epistemically privileged role in philosophical methodology; (C) If intuitive judgments play an epistemically privileged role in philosophical methodology, then their role is to be taken as given inputs into generally accepted forms of reasoning; (D) Philosophical methodology is reasonable. Negative experimental philosophers accept claims (A), (B), and (C), but challenge (D). This chapter develops a variant on the expertise defense of traditional philosophy. The defense hinges on denying (C) in the Standard Picture: philosophers do not treat their intuitions as data; they treat their intuitions as observations that can be improved through reasoning. The chapter explores both historical antecedents in the rationalist tradition, and descriptive accuracy with respect to current practice.

Metaphysical Truth

“What Shestov was fundamentally concerned with throughout his lifetime was to criticize the timidity and lack of imagination of traditional philosophy, with its view that metaphysical truth flows solely from obedience and passive submission to the structures of being given in experience, and to insist instead that ultimate reality transcends the categories of rationalist metaphysics and scientific method and that the truth about it is to be discovered through the untram-meled soaring of the spirit and through daring flights of the imagination. It may be said that so to insist is to abandon philosophy for poetry and art, but Shestov himself always maintained that philosophy is indeed, or rather should be, more art than science.”

Ground Structures

The chapter describes Jaspers’ debt towards XIX century philosophies - in particular Nietzsche’s Lebensphilosophie, Weber’s sociological thinking, Dilthey’s philosophy of Geisteswissenschaften, Husserl’s phenomenology. Husserl offered Jaspers an access to the ground structures of human experience, beyond abstractions and intelletual reconstructions of traditional philosophy and psychology. Dilthey provided him a neat epistemological differentiation between the methods of explication (natural sciences) and comprehension (human sciences). Weber’s sociology elaborated a precious notion of “Idealtypus”, central to Jaspers phenomenological psychopatology. Nietzsche’s meditation on the Uebermensch offered Jaspers, paradoxically enough, an insight about the nature of illness on weakness, which Jaspers philosophical anthropology assumed since the Allgemeine Psychopatologie as a constitutive dimension of human life as such.

Analysis And Synthesis

AbstractHow might philosophy of religion be impacted by developments in computational modeling and social simulation? After briefly describing some of the content and context biases that have shaped traditional philosophy of religion, this article provides examples of computational models that illustrate the explanatory power of conceptually clear and empirically validated causal architectures informed by the bio-cultural sciences. It also outlines some of the material implications of these developments for broader metaphysical and metaethical discussions in philosophy. Computer modeling and simulation can contribute to the reformation of the philosophy of religion in at least three ways: by facilitating conceptual clarity about the role of biases in the emergence and maintenance of phenomena commonly deemed “religious,” by supplying tools that enhance our capacity to link philosophical analysis and synthesis to empirical data in the psychological and social sciences, and by providing material insights for metaphysical hypotheses and metaethical proposals that rely solely on immanent resources.
