Bertrand Russell Russell led the British "revolt against idealism" in the early 20th century.[58] He is considered one of the founders of analytic philosophy along with his predecessor Gottlob Frege, colleague G. E. Moore, and his protégé Ludwig Wittgenstein. He is widely held to be one of the 20th century's premier logicians.[55] With A. N. Whitehead he wrote Principia Mathematica, an attempt to create a logical basis for mathematics. Russell was a prominent anti-war activist; he championed anti-imperialism[60][61] and went to prison for his pacifism during World War I.[62] Later, he campaigned against Adolf Hitler, then criticised Stalinist totalitarianism, attacked the involvement of the United States in the Vietnam War, and was an outspoken proponent of nuclear disarmament.[63] In 1950 Russell was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought Biography Early life and background Early career

Maslow's hierarchy of needs Maslow's hierarchy of needs, represented as a pyramid with the more basic needs at the bottom[1] Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" in Psychological Review.[2] Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity. His theories parallel many other theories of human developmental psychology, some of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans. Maslow used the terms "physiological", "safety", "belongingness" and "love", "esteem", "self-actualization", and "self-transcendence" to describe the pattern that human motivations generally move through. Maslow's theory was fully expressed in his 1954 book Motivation and Personality.[5] The hierarchy remains a very popular framework in sociology research, management training[6] and secondary and higher psychology instruction.

The Life Cycle of a Democratic Society (and Where We Are in That Cycle) 5th December 2015 By Peter Paul Parker Guest Writer for Wake Up World “Everything has a life cycle, and there is actually a life cycle for countries.

And I also beg you to listen to US President John F. Undoubtedly, this conspiracy is still happening today, as we tiptoe into totalitarianism. But, as the power-mongers increase their push toward totalitarianism, we are beginning to pull in the other. Democracy is dead. So the answer to all this is you. What is it going to take for you to stand up and say “No more”? Be part of the rebellion.

Bertrand Russell, la science, la démocratie et la « poursuite de la vérité » Une des pires choses qui résultent de l’augmentation moderne des pouvoirs des autorités est la suppression de la vérité et la diffusion de la fausseté par des agences publiques. Bertrand Russell« Symptoms of Orwell’s 1984 » (1956) L’atmosphère de peur et d’horreur que nous avons appris à respirer peut être dissipée si l’opinion publique peut être rendue plus sage. L’opinion publique peut être rendue plus sage si on peut faire en sorte que les faits soient connus. 1 William Clifford, Lectures and Essays, Macmillan, 1901. 2 William James, La Volonté de croire, Les empêcheurs de penser en rond, 2005. 1Un des principes fondamentaux qui sont à la base de ce qu’on appelle l’« éthique de la croyance » est qu’une croyance doit être jugée avant tout et même, autant que possible, uniquement en fonction des raisons qu’il peut y avoir de penser qu’elle est vraie. 3 Caroline Moorehead, Bertrand Russell. 4 Bernard Williams, Truth and Truthfulness.

Bertrand Russell Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Pour les articles homonymes, voir Russell. Bertrand Russell Philosophe et logicien Époque contemporaine Bertrand Russell en 1916 Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3e comte Russell, né le 18 mai 1872 à Trellech (Monmouthshire), et mort le 2 février 1970 près de Penrhyndeudraeth (Pays de Galles), est un mathématicien, logicien, philosophe, épistémologue, homme politique et moraliste britannique. Russell est considéré comme l'un des plus importants philosophes du XXe siècle. La logique et le fondement des mathématiques : Russell est, avec Frege, l'un des fondateurs de la logique contemporaine. Il soutient l'idée d'une philosophie scientifique[2], et a proposé d'appliquer l'analyse logique aux problèmes traditionnels, tels que l'analyse de l'esprit, de la matière (problème corps-esprit), de la connaissance, ou encore de l'existence du monde extérieur.

Borderline personality disorder The disorder is recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Because a personality disorder is a pervasive, enduring, and inflexible pattern of maladaptive inner experiences and pathological behavior, there is a general reluctance to diagnose personality disorders before adolescence or early adulthood.[5] However, some emphasize that without early treatment the symptoms may worsen.[6] There is an ongoing debate about the terminology of this disorder, especially the suitability of the word "borderline".[7][8] The ICD-10 manual refers to the disorder as Emotionally unstable personality disorder and has similar diagnostic criteria. Signs and symptoms[edit] Symptoms include: Emotions[edit] While people with BPD feel joy intensely, they are especially prone to dysphoria, or feelings of mental and emotional distress. Behavior[edit] Self-harm and suicide[edit] Self-harming or suicidal behavior is one of the core diagnostic criteria in the DSM IV-TR. Sense of self[edit]

The "Thanksgiving Genocide" Narrative - Veiled anti-White Propaganda Compiled by Red Ice Creations A lot has been written in the last 30 years in an effort to demonize the settlers, pioneers and pilgrims who came to America, to make a new life for themselves, people who were escaping horrible conditions and religious persecution. This is a look at the "Thanksgiving genocide" narrative and the absurdity around how White Europeans are portrayed as blood lusting devils, who apparently had all the time in the world hunting and killing Indians for pleasure, as opposed to the struggle to survive in a new land. Remember, during their first winter, 50% of them died from disease, starvation and cold. The exaggerations and caricatures have become more and more extreme over the years. "The pilgrims (who did not even call themselves pilgrims) did not come here seeking religious freedom; they already had that in Holland. Who knew there were politically correct Indians? Oh, the HORROR! The first story is from: sail1620.org: I disagree. [...] snip [...] Be VERY afraid! Mr.
