Integral theory Integral theory, a philosophy with origins in the work of Sri Aurobindo and Jean Gebser, and promoted by Ken Wilber, seeks a synthesis of the best of pre-modern, modern, and postmodern reality.[1] It is portrayed as a "theory of everything,"[2] and offers an approach "to draw together an already existing number of separate paradigms into an interrelated network of approaches that are mutually enriching."[1] It has been applied by scholar-practitioners in 35 distinct academic and professional domains as varied as organizational management and art.[1] Methodologies[edit] AQAL, pronounced "ah-qwul," is a widely used framework in Integral Theory. Sri Aurobindo, Jean Gebser, and Ken Wilber, have all made significant theoretical contributions to integral theory. In his book The Ever-Present Origin, Swiss phenomenologist Jean Gebser distinguished between five structures of consciousness: archaic, magic, mythical, mental, and integral. AQAL Theory – Lines.

Mind in Life: Amazon.co.uk: Evan Thompson Evan Thompson draws from the disciplines of biology, philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience to bring about a wide and varied discussion of one of the most significant philosophical questions or our time called the explanatory gap--the gap between our subjective experience and the laws of nature. "Exactly how are consciousness and subjective experience related to the brain and the body?" How is it that our subjective experience of the world sets us apart from our environment, when our environment and life are intricately coupled? Thompson contends that there can be no dualistic separation between the organizational properties of life and mind. In fact, Thompson says in the preface: "...the self-organizing features of mind are an enriched version of the self-organizing features of life." To understand mind it is necessary to understand life. Thompson details the shortcomings of genocentrism and espouses the viability of the inactive approach to explain mind and life.
Richard Hoggart Herbert Richard Hoggart FRSL (born 24 September 1918) is a British academic whose career has covered the fields of sociology, English literature and cultural studies, with emphasis on British popular culture. Career[edit] He was born in Leeds and educated at Cockburn High School and the University of Leeds. He served with the Royal Artillery during World War II and was demobilised as a Staff Captain. He was a Staff Tutor at the University of Hull from 1946 to 1959 and Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Leicester from 1959 to 1962. The Uses of Literacy [1] (1957) is Hoggart's most cited work. Hoggart was an expert witness at the Lady Chatterley trial in 1960, and his argument that it was an essentially moral and "puritan" work, which merely repeated words he had heard on a building site on his way to the court,[1] is sometimes viewed as having had a decisive influence on the outcome of the trial. He now suffers from dementia.[2] Bibliography[edit] References[edit]

Meme "Memes" redirects here. For the weevil genus known as Memes, see Hylobiini. A meme (/ˈmiːm/ meem)[1] is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture."[2] A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures.[3] The word meme is a shortening (modeled on gene) of mimeme (from Ancient Greek μίμημα Greek pronunciation: [míːmɛːma] mīmēma, "imitated thing", from μιμεῖσθαι mimeisthai, "to imitate", from μῖμος mimos "mime")[4] and it was coined by the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976)[1][5] as a concept for discussion of evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena.

La créativité: 18 choses que les gens créatifs font différemment des autres CERVEAU - La créativité opère de manière mystérieuse et souvent paradoxale. La pensée créative est une caractéristique stable qui définit certaines personnalités, mais elle peut aussi changer en fonction du contexte. On a souvent l’impression que l’inspiration et les idées naissent de nulle part et qu’elles disparaissent au moment où on a le plus besoin d’elles. La pensée créative nécessite une cognition complexe qui est néanmoins complètement différente du processus de réflexion. La neuroscience nous propose une image très complexe de la créativité. Psychologiquement parlant, les types de personnalités créatives sont difficiles à repérer, car elles sont en général complexes, paradoxales et qu’elles ont tendance à éviter l’habitude ou la routine. S’il n’existe pas de profil créatif "typique ", on trouve cependant des caractéristiques et des comportements révélateurs chez les personnes extrêmement créatives. Selon Kaufman et la psychologue Rebecca L. Ils prennent le temps d’être seuls
Hundredth monkey effect The hundredth monkey effect is a studied phenomenon[1] in which a new behavior or idea is claimed to spread rapidly by unexplained, even supernatural, means from one group to all related groups once a critical number of members of one group exhibit the new behavior or acknowledge the new idea. The theory behind this phenomenon originated with Lawrence Blair and Lyall Watson in the mid-to-late 1970s, who claimed that it was the observation of Japanese scientists. One of the primary factors in the promulgation of the story is that many authors quote secondary, tertiary or post-tertiary sources who have themselves misrepresented the original observations.[1] Popularisation of the effect[edit] The story of the hundredth monkey effect was published in Lyall Watson's foreword to Lawrence Blair's Rhythms of Vision in 1975,[2] and spread with the appearance of Watson's 1979 book Lifetide. This story was further popularised by Ken Keyes, Jr. with the publication of his book The Hundredth Monkey.
