Origin Of Human Consciousness, Milan Meszaros
Origin Of Human Consciousness, Milan Meszaros
Milan Meszaros physicist
There are certain conditions regarding the expansion of man’s existence on Earth, but these are not identical to those conditions regarding man’s existence itself. Thus in the violating the symmetry of the fundamental processes of consciousness, man’s intellectual development can become multi-dimensional.
Our conscious functioning with its non-Earth lifebase gives rise to the following questions: how and why did our consciousness come to be on Earth? Where did we originate from?
The search of solution is recommendable to all those who are interested in a scientific, high level, responsible approach to the experiments and solutions concerning the problems: Where do …

The Menace Of Security, Chandan Gowda
The Ideal Ifr Is No Ifr: Criticism To The Triz Concept Of Ideality, Umakant Mishra
The Ideal Ifr Is No Ifr: Criticism To The Triz Concept Of Ideality, Umakant Mishra
Umakant Mishra
The limitations of TRIZ concept of Ideality hail from its root philosophy of Idealism. As the “ideas” are there in human minds/brains they are subjective in nature. The concept of “Ideal” and IFR may vary from person to person as they are biased by individual judgments. Similarly the IFR may vary from system to system and at different phases of the development of a system.
However, the same limitations may be considered as the strengths of Idealism. As the IFRs can be different for different people and groups, the solution developer should not always take his own IFR for granted. …

The Apostle Table - Part Iii - Incompetent Endogenous Response Intransitivity, David Randall Jenkins
The Apostle Table - Part Iii - Incompetent Endogenous Response Intransitivity, David Randall Jenkins
David Randall Jenkins
The Apostle Table illustrates a New Testament encryption scheme revealed in the Book of Matthew. Specifically, the list of the twelve apostles in Matthew, 10:1-4, points to the Matthew, Chapters 8 and 9, disciple characterizations. The disciples metaphorically characterize the social choice theory aspect of the scripture writers' (ordered relations theory: social choice theory: welfare model) regression. The paper is written in two parts: I. The Exogenous Pressures; and, II. The Endogenous Response. Interestingly, the paper explains why the crucified Jesus could not get off the cross.
The Concept Of Resources In Triz, Umakant Mishra
The Concept Of Resources In Triz, Umakant Mishra
Umakant Mishra
An ideal system should have all advantages and no harms. If the resources consumed are expensive than the output produced then the invented system becomes ridiculous. The objective should be to use least amount of resources, cheapest resources, easily available resources and resources available within the system.
Every system intends to achieve a main useful function. The use of resources should target to improve its main useful function. If certain parts of a system or certain resources lead to unwanted functions or harmful effects then that part of the system needs to be modified and those resources need to be …
An Introduction To Ariz, Umakant Mishra
An Introduction To Ariz, Umakant Mishra
Umakant Mishra
ARIZ- the Algorithm of Inventive Problem Solving, is a part of TRIZ. It is not as popularly used as other methods in TRIZ. The steps in ARIZ are difficult to follow and requires more intellectual effort. This method is used only to solve complex problem which are not solved by applying other methods of TRIZ. It is a tool for thinking in alternative directions to solve complex and non-standard problems.
From another point of view, ARIZ is a method of problem solving by redefining and restructuring the problem. Although problems can be solved by using other methods, it is better …

The Uqv (Ultimate Questioner's Vanity) Theory, Kedar Joshi
The Uqv (Ultimate Questioner's Vanity) Theory, Kedar Joshi
Kedar Joshi
The UQV theory is a metaphysical theory that the universe is the consequence of the ultimate questioner's vanity. This theory builds on the NSTP (Non Spatial Thinking Process) theoretical metaphysical semi-solipsism, the position, which specifically regards the NSTP theoretical superhuman mind as a personal philosophical questioning supermind. The UQV theory further speculates the existence of the ultimate questioner, which, existing logically/conceptually beyond the superhuman mind, initiated the existence of my NSTP in order to ask an apparently unanswerable (philosophical) question about the nature of its own existence. And since the NSTP is extremely orderly and deterministic, the ultimate questioner already …
Violence And Power: A Critique Of Hannah Arendt On The 'Political', Keith G. Breen
Violence And Power: A Critique Of Hannah Arendt On The 'Political', Keith G. Breen
Keith Breen
In contrast to political realism’s equation of the ‘political’ with domination, Hannah Arendt understood the ‘political’ as a relation of friendship utterly opposed to the use of violence. This paper offers a critique of that understanding. It becomes clear that Arendt’s challenge to realism, as exemplified by Max Weber, succeeds on account of a dubious redefinition of the ‘political’ that is the reverse image of the one-sided vision of politics she had hoped to contest. Questioning this paradoxical turn leads to a critique of Arendt’s separation of violence and power and, consequently, her attempt to insulate a politics of friendship …
The Nstp (Non-Spatial Thinking Process) Theory, Kedar Joshi
The Nstp (Non-Spatial Thinking Process) Theory, Kedar Joshi
Kedar Joshi
The NSTP theory is a (philosophy of mind) semi-idealistic as well as semi-dualistic theory that the material universe, the one in which peculiar phenomena like quantum non-locality exist, is exclusively a group of superhuman as well as non-superhuman thinking processes existing in the form of (non-spatial physical/material) feelings (i.e. states of consciousness). In computer terminology, it regards the (material) universe as a non-spatial computer, with hardware of (non-spatial) feelings and software of superhuman as well as non-superhuman thoughts/ideas, including those of space, which is then an illusive/virtual/merely apparent entity. The mere existence of the superhuman thoughts is responsible for the …

All of scripture is focused on one particular social state definition; why the persistent focus? This paper shows the alignment of the philosophy of the human condition with the ethics endowed physical universe underscores the focus.
Assisted Suicide: An Interest Not A Right., Eric G. Roscoe
Assisted Suicide: An Interest Not A Right., Eric G. Roscoe
Eric G. Roscoe
This paper examines the right to privacy and its role in recent debate over the rights of terminally ill patients to receive assistance in dying. It examines the history of suicide from John Donne up to the recent Supreme Court decisions in Washington v. Glucksberg. The Court came to the proper conclusion in Glucksberg by leaving the decisions up to state legislatures because the right itself does not reach the level of a fundamentally protected right to privacy. However, in some states it does reach the level of a state created liberty interest, and in those states a legitimate argument …
Wallace Stevens' Philosophical Evasions, Gregory Brazeal
Wallace Stevens' Philosophical Evasions, Gregory Brazeal
Gregory Brazeal
How could thought ever benefit from being formed in poetic language rather than philosophical prose? This essay attempts to clarify a single, relatively narrow respect in which poetry can perform philosophical work that prose, as such, cannot: the evasion of philosophical dogmatism through Stevensian qualification. What Helen Vendler in an early essay calls Stevens’ “qualified assertions,” and what Marjorie Perloff calls Stevens’ “ironic modes," are the basic techniques of Wallace Stevens' anti-dogmatic art.

Transgressive Sanctity: The Abrek In Chechen Culture, Rebecca Gould
Transgressive Sanctity: The Abrek In Chechen Culture, Rebecca Gould
Rebecca Gould
The ancient tradition of the abrek (bandit) was developed into a political institution during the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth century by Chechen and other Muslim peoples of the Caucasus as a strategy for dealing with the overwhelming military force of Russia's imperial army. During the Soviet period, the abrek became a locus for oppositional politics and arguably influenced the representations of violence and anti-colonial resistance during the recent Chechen Wars. This article is one of the first works of English-language scholarship to historicize this institution. It also marks the beginning of a book project entitled A …

Corégulation Et Responsabilité Sociale Des Entreprises, Gregory Lewkowicz, Ludovic Hennebel
Gregory Lewkowicz
This paper analyses the evolution of corporate social responsibility from an empirical and a theoretical point of view. After having described the framework of a theory of coregulation, the authors scrutinize the main regulatory instruments used in the context of corporate social responsibility. They demonstrate that the evolution of corporate social responsaibility delineates a new regulatory logic peculiar to a globalizing legal world. The paper concludes stating that this logic could be a paradigm for the study of an emerging global law.
Hannah Arendt's Radical Politics: Beyond Actually Existing Democracies, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Hannah Arendt's Radical Politics: Beyond Actually Existing Democracies, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Andre de Macedo Duarte
The present text investigates Arendt’s conception of the political underlying her theoretical reconstruction of the Greek polis. My main argument is that Arendt’s return to the past aims at questioning the political alternatives offered by many contemporary currents of political liberalism, which tend to reduce the political to the domain of the juridical. Distinctively, I think that Arendt outlines a radical conception of democracy that is to be situated beyond the model of our actually existing democracies. In order to show that Arendt’s aim was not that of elaborating a theoretical normative and utopian conception of the political, far away …
Hannah Arendt, Biopolitics And The Problem Of Violence: From Animal Laborans To Homo Sacer, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Hannah Arendt, Biopolitics And The Problem Of Violence: From Animal Laborans To Homo Sacer, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Andre de Macedo Duarte
In his work Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life, Giorgio Agamben affirms that Arendt and Foucault were the contemporary political theorists that best understood the modern dramatic political shifts that culminate in the Nazi and Stalinist extermination camps. This text explores this insight and proposes to establish an Arendtian diagnosis of the present under the paradigm of biopolitics, defined as the unifying character of different contemporary violent phenomena such as: preventive and humanitarian wars; fanatical suicidal terrorist attacks aiming at the complete annihilation of its opponents; the utilization of chemical and bacteriological mass destructive weapons by States against civilian …
Hannah Arendt E A Exemplaridade Subversiva: Por Uma Ética Pós-Metafísica, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Hannah Arendt E A Exemplaridade Subversiva: Por Uma Ética Pós-Metafísica, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Andre de Macedo Duarte
Arendt redefines the meaning of ethics and politics in a post-metaphysical theoretical key, disrupting both teleological and prescriptive ties that have traditionally bound Western philosophical thinking about political action and ethical behavior. In this project, Arendt stresses the mode of being of subversive exemplarity, i.e., the capacity to publicly appear as resistant against political violence, even when this appearance is merely passive and silently. To demonstrate the post-metaphysical ethical-political impact of the subversive exemplarity, I analyze some texts in which Arendt highlights the project of a negative and reflexive ethics, one that does not determine how to act, but what …
Heidegger And The Historical-Political Character Of The Artwork, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Heidegger And The Historical-Political Character Of The Artwork, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Andre de Macedo Duarte
The text discusses the historial-political character attributed by Heidegger to the artwork in his 1936 essay “The origin of the work of art”. The main argument is that Heidegger’s analysis of the artwork is simultaneously an inquiry into the possibility of a new beginning in history by means of a genuine appropriation of history, a subject-matter that was altogether absent during the project of fundamental ontology. The essay on the artwork is considered as a first step in Heidegger’s formulation of his later thesis concerning Western history as the history of Being. Incidentally, this shift in Heidegger’s understanding of history …
