Podcasts about Functionalism

Episode: 2577 Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky's "Frankfurter Kuche" — The Birth of the Modern Kitchen.  Today, UH architecture professor, Dietmar Froehlich tells us about Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky and her kitchen.

Send us a textThe first part of this series explains the mastery of designing with “the plan and section” is now a missing skill in current architecture education where schools of architecture neglect this very important skill by allowing students to design with 3D modeling first and emphasizing too much on this aspect. This discussion focused on how the emergence of Functionalism and the Bauhaus influences has been disregarded since digital architecture emerged and how architecture education has lost its way in the fundamental decision making in the design process. This then affects the quality of graduates who became not good enough to be architects. Form-making is not just to do with embellishment but adopting the right aesthetic principles from the very beginning of the training to be an architect. © 2024 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd YaacobThe image by Ross Sokolovski on UnsplashSupport the showDo subscribe for premium content and special features which will help to support and sustain Talk Architecture podcast on a more in-depth explanation on design thesis and processes.

Send us a textWe introduce this topic that whets our curiosity on the differences and similarities of form-making in art and architecture.A quick observation and discussion was made on the "aesthetics" objective that defines how one would approach this subject. This will follow as a series and the following sub-topics will be discussed:1. The Role of the Bauhaus and the Emergence of Functionalism 2. From the Classical to the Modern Movement Aesthetics in terms of Form-making3. How Art and Architecture merged from the Cubist Movement © 2025 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd Yaacob.

Discover the Pioneers of Modern Design”.The discussion expanded on the points taken from the video where in Part 3 we will focus more on the relevance of Functionalism and what we learned about the Bauhaus and how we need to reset architecture education to be instilled with the Bauhaus Movement in it's truest sense and not just superficially.© 2024 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd YaacobThe image by freepikSupport the showDo subscribe for premium content and special features which will help to support and sustain Talk Architecture podcast on a more in-depth explanation on design thesis and processes.

Kenapa kita sering berbeza pendapat tentang pendidikan? Perbezaan ini boleh dijelaskan melalui tiga mazhab sosiologi pendidikan: Functionalism, Conflict Theory, dan Symbolic Interactionism. Functionalism melihat pendidikan sebagai alat yang menyatukan masyarakat. Sekolah dianggap tempat untuk menyediakan murid menjadi individu yang berfungsi dalam masyarakat, dengan memberikan peluang sama rata kepada semua. Namun, pandangan ini sering mengabaikan realiti ketidaksamaan yang wujud. Berbeza dengan itu, Conflict Theory menegaskan bahawa sistem pendidikan sering kali memihak kepada golongan elit. Pendidikan dilihat sebagai alat untuk mengekalkan kuasa dan ketidaksamaan, di mana murid dari keluarga miskin atau latar belakang terpinggir berhadapan dengan cabaran sistemik. Perspektif ini memberi tumpuan kepada masalah seperti akses yang tidak sama rata dan dominasi budaya golongan tertentu ke atas yang lain. Sementara itu, Symbolic Interactionism membawa pendekatan mikro, dengan menekankan pengalaman individu dalam pembelajaran. Ia melihat bagaimana faktor seperti emosi, motivasi, dan interaksi sosial membentuk cara setiap murid belajar. Dengan kemajuan dalam bidang psikologi dan neurosains, kita kini lebih memahami bagaimana pembelajaran berlaku di peringkat individu. Setiap mazhab ini ada kekuatan dan kelemahannya. Memahami perspektif ini membantu kita mengenali kelemahan sistem pendidikan dan menilai semula bagaimana kita berfikir tentang pendidikan, terutama apabila sistem gagal memenuhi keperluan murid. Pendidikan bukan hanya untuk ekonomi atau industri, tetapi untuk memenuhi keinsanan murid sebagai manusia dan khalifah Allah di bumi.

Pendidikan bukan sekadar proses formal di bilik darjah, tetapi turut mencakupi aspek sosial dan budaya yang membentuk pemikiran individu serta masyarakat. Salah satu cabang penting dalam pendidikan ialah Sosiologi Pendidikan, yang mengupas tentang peranan socialisation atau sosialisasi. Sosialisasi merujuk kepada interaksi seseorang dengan individu serta masyarakat sekeliling yang mempengaruhi cara berfikir dan menilai sesuatu. Dalam perbincangan bersama rakan-rakan di program Postgraduate Diploma di Unirazak, saya mengupas tiga school of thought utama dalam sosiologi pendidikan: Functionalism, Conflict Theory, dan Symbolic Interactionism. Pendekatan ini membantu memahami bagaimana pendirian dalam isu pendidikan sering dipengaruhi oleh latar belakang sosial individu atau kumpulan, sama ada ahli politik, penggubal dasar, mahupun pendidik. Functionalism: Kerangka Functionalism sering dikaitkan dengan masyarakat yang masih membentuk identiti nasional, seperti negara pasca-kemerdekaan. Dalam kerangka ini, sekolah dilihat sebagai alat untuk menjayakan agenda nasional. Ia dicerminkan oleh ritual formal di sekolah seperti program-program bacaan ikrar, pengibaran bendera, dan nyanyian lagu kebangsaan yang bertujuan memupuk nilai kebangsaan dan kebersamaan. Sekolah juga dianggap platform yang memberikan peluang sama rata kepada semua pelajar. Mereka yang berusaha lebih keras diyakini akan mencapai kejayaan lebih besar, meraih status sosial yang lebih tinggi, dan memperoleh pekerjaan lebih baik. Pemikir seperti Durkheim adalah antara tokoh yang menyokong pandangan bahawa pendidikan berperanan mengintegrasikan individu ke dalam masyarakat secara harmoni. Namun, pendekatan ini sering mengabaikan ketidaksamaan yang wujud di kalangan pelajar. Adakah semua pelajar benar-benar mempunyai akses kepada peluang yang sama? Apakah budaya atau nilai yang dijadikan standard dalam pendidikan? Ini membawa kepada kritik yang dikemukakan oleh Conflict Theory. Conflict Theory: Teori konflik menyoal kerangka Functionalism, terutamanya apabila dasar pendidikan dipaksakan untuk menyelaraskan satu budaya atau nilai tertentu sebagai norma kebangsaan. Persoalannya: budaya siapa yang dijadikan acuan? Dalam masyarakat pelbagai budaya, adakah budaya golongan elit menjadi dominan, sementara yang lain dipinggirkan? Teori ini menekankan perlunya memberi perhatian kepada golongan yang sering terpinggir, sama ada dari segi budaya, ekonomi, atau latar belakang sosial. Pendidikan harus inklusif, bukan sekadar mencerminkan aspirasi golongan berpengaruh. Sekolah mesti menjadi ruang di mana suara pelajar dan komuniti yang berbeza diberi tempat untuk didengari. Symbolic Interactionism: Sebaliknya, pendekatan Symbolic Interactionism mengkritik kedua-dua kerangka sebelumnya kerana terlalu memfokuskan isu pendidikan pada tahap makro. Ia menegaskan bahawa pembelajaran berlaku dalam diri setiap individu, dan pengalaman pendidikan tidak seragam untuk semua pelajar. Contohnya, seorang pelajar mungkin menghadapi tekanan emosi atau cabaran keluarga yang menghalangnya daripada belajar dengan baik. Pendekatan ini menggesa pendidik dan penggubal dasar untuk melihat pelajar sebagai individu, bukan sekadar angka dalam sistem. Motivasi, emosi, dan keperluan unik setiap pelajar perlu diberi perhatian dalam membentuk dasar pendidikan yang efektif.

Dive into the profound insights of Jean Baudrillard, a key figure in 20th-century philosophy. Known for his influential work, Simulacra and Simulation, Baudrillard's intellectual journey began with The System of Objects. This pivotal book examines the rise of sign-value and the impact of early serial commodities. By integrating structural and material analysis with semiotics and social psychoanalysis, Baudrillard provides a fresh perspective on 20th-century capitalism. The System of Objects, evolving from his Ph.D. thesis, remains a significant yet understated contribution to philosophical thought. 0:00: Introduction2:53: Ideological Home & Interior Design5:00: Functionalism to the Symbolic7:49: Antiques & Collections10:38: Serial Motivation and a Lack16:02: New Language, Advertising and Credit20:20: A Message #JeanBaudrillard #TheSystemofObjects #SimulacraandSimulation #sign-value #20th-centurycapitalism #semiotics #socialpsychoanalysis #philosophy Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Abandoning functionalism: Some intuition pumps, published by Alfredo Parra on July 12, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. There seems to be a widely-held view in popular culture that no physicist really understands quantum mechanics. The meme probably gained popularity after Richard Feynman famously stated in a lecture (transcribed in the book "The Character of Physical Law") "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics", though many prominent physicists have expressed a similar sentiment. Anyone aware of the overwhelming success of quantum mechanics will recognize that the seeming lack of understanding of the theory is primarily about how to interpret its ontology, and not about how to do the calculations or run the experiments, which clearly many physicists understand extremely well. But even the ontological confusion is debatable. With the proliferation of interpretations of quantum mechanics - each varying in terms of, among others, which classical intuitions should be abandoned - at least some physicists seem to think that there isn't anything weird or mysterious about the quantum world. So I suspect there are plenty of physicists who would politely disagree that it's not possible to really understand quantum mechanics. Sure, it might take them a few decades of dedicated work in theoretical physics and a certain amount of philosophical sophistication, but there surely are physicists out there who (justifiably) feel like they grok quantum mechanics both technically and philosophically, and who feel deeply satisfied with the frameworks they've adopted. Carlo Rovelli (proponent of the relational interpretation) and Sean Carroll (proponent of the many-worlds interpretation) might be two such people. This article is not about the controversial relationship between quantum mechanics and consciousness. Instead, I think there are some lessons to learn in terms of what it means and feels like to understand a difficult topic and to find satisfying explanations. Maybe you will relate to my own journey. See, for a long time, I thought of consciousness as a fundamentally mysterious aspect of reality that we'd never really understand. How could we? Is there anything meaningful we can say about why consciousness exists, where it comes from, or what it's made of? Well, it took me an embarrassingly long time to just read some books on philosophy of mind, but when I finally did some 10 years ago, I was captivated: What if we think in terms of the functions the brain carries out, like any other computing system? What if the hard problem is just ill-defined? Perhaps philosophical zombies can teach us meaningful things about the nature of consciousness? Wow. Maybe we can make progress on these questions after all! Functionalism in particular - the position that any information system is conscious if it computes the appropriate outputs given some inputs - seemed a particularly promising lens. The floodgates of my curiosity were opened. I devoured as much content as I could on the topic - Dennett, Dehaene, Tononi, Russell, Pinker; I binge-read Brian Tomasik's essays and scoured the EA Forum for any posts discussing consciousness. Maybe we can preserve our minds by uploading their causal structure? Wow, yes! Could sufficiently complex digital computers become conscious? Gosh, scary, but why not? Could video game characters matter morally? I shall follow the evidence wherever it leads me. The train to crazy town had departed, and I wanted to have a front-row seat. Alas, the excitement soon started to dwindle. Somehow, the more I learned about consciousness, the more confused and dissatisfied I felt. Many times in the past I'd learned about a difficult topic (for instance, in physics, computer science, or mathematics) and, sure, the number of questions would mul...

Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION. Follow us on YouTube: ⁠www.youtube.com/@IASCompanion⁠ Today, we will explore Functionalism, a pivotal school of thought in psychology that emerged as a reaction to Structuralism. Functionalism, led by William James, sought to understand the functions of consciousness and behavior in helping individuals adapt to their environments. Functionalism expanded the scope of psychology by integrating practical applications and a focus on adaptation. Its legacy endures in the ongoing exploration of how mental processes and behaviors serve adaptive purposes. #UPSC #IASprep #civilserviceexam #IASexamination #IASaspirants #UPSCjourney #IASexam #civilservice #IASgoals #UPSC2024 #IAS2024 #civilservant #IAScoaching #aUPSCmotivation #IASmotivation #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity

“If cattle and horses and lions had hands or could paint with their hands and create works such as men do, horses like horses and cattle like cattle would depict the gods' shapes and make their bodies of such a sort as the form they themselves have.” —  Xenophanes, Fragments   This week, join Cyrus Palizban and Nicolas Sarian as we delve into the philosophical insights of Xenophanes, focusing on the anthropomorphization of worshiped deities gods. We explore the history and evolution of religious thought, from pre-Socratic philosophy to 20th-century sociology, discussing the works of thinkers like Émile Durkheim. The conversation covers how religious and societal structures influence one another, touching on topics like totemism, functionalism, and the psychological aspects of worship. Additionally, the discussion broadens to include reflections on modern cultural phenomena, the role of faith, and the implications of information overload in contemporary society.   00:00 Introduction and Greetings 00:15 Exploring Xenophanes' Philosophy 02:36 Functionalism and Sociology 07:21 Early Human Spirituality and Fear 12:12 Anthropomorphism in Religion 20:49 Proto-Indo-European Cultures 31:15 Modern Anthropology and Exploration 34:37 Jordan Peterson and Dennis Quaid on Movie Stars 35:53 The Cult of Celebrity 36:28 Favorite Actors and Their Impact 39:55 The Value of Mystery in Cinema 40:55 The Role of AI and Information Overload 43:41 Curating Information in the Modern Age 46:42 The Concept of Katechons 54:08 The Evolution of Worship and Fear 01:01:16 Conclusion and Upcoming Book Clubs   Want to continue the discussion?

Many books about US-China strategic competition have been published in recent years. This episode will focus on Facing China: The Prospect for War and Peace, which examines various flashpoints in the Indo-Pacific that could result in military conflict.There are several reasons why this book stands out: First, it includes an examination of debates within China about China's national interests; Second, it focuses not only on the challenges of major wars, but also on China's gray-zone strategy of deliberately pursuing its interests in ways that stay below the threshold that would trigger a US military response. And finally, it assesses the applicability of the Thucydides Trap to the US-China relationship. The Thucydides Trap concept was coined by Graham Allison who examined historical cases in which a rising power threatened to displace a ruling power in his book Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides's Trap? Allison concluded that in the majority of historical cases the outcome was war.This book is especially interesting because it is written by a European expert who has deep knowledge of Taiwan, mainland China, and the United States: Jean-Pierre Cabestan. He is an emeritus senior researcher at the French Center for Scientific Research in Paris and an emeritus professor political science at the Department of Government and International Studies at Hone Kong Baptist University, and a visiting senior fellow at GMF.  Timestamps[02:07] Revisiting the Thucydides Trap [03:53] Why was China fascinated by this concept? [05:26] Reasons for the Risk of War Increasing[06:33] The US-China Cold War and its Characteristics[09:03] China's Gray-Zone Activities [10:53] Where has China's gray-zone strategy been the most successful? [12:37] Unifying Taiwan with China through Gray-Zone Activities[14:42] Chinese Use of Force in the Taiwan Strait in the 2020s[16:17] China's Ambitions in the International Arena[17:40] Future Overseas Operations of the PLA

Kenapa sekolah di Finland berbeza daripada sekolah di Malaysia? Ada macam-macam cara untuk jawab soalan ini. Tetapi kali ini saya ingin cuba menjawabnya dengan penerangan secara sosiologi. Secara sosiologinya, sekolah boleh berada di dalam satu daripada dua kategori (boleh ada pengkategorian yang lain juga). Sama ada sekolah itu berada di dalam kerangka FUNCTIONALISM, atau pun INTERACTIONISM.

Mark is a philosopher of computation and cognitive science at Edinburgh. We start off the conversation exploring why we shouldn't attribute computation to stones and talk about instances of distributed cognition in classical antiquity. Then, we discuss the relationship between functionalism and extended cognition with the paradigmatic example of Otto's notebook and some implications for deep learning researchers. Next off is the famous Chinese Room Argument and how the 'Robot Reply' illustrates the need for embodiment when going from 'cat' syntax to cat semantics. After a quick rendezvous with the frame problem (see also Ep1), Hubert Dreyfus and Heideggerian AI, we move onto predictive coding, David Marr's three levels of analysis and the idea of representation in the brain. We finish off the conversation with some very good reading strategies and why we should all move to Edinburgh. Timestamps: (00:00) - Intro (03:04) - Does a stone do computation?

In our third part of the Philosophy of Mind series, Dr. Justin Clarke runs the Gwartney team through functionalism. Functionalism pictures the human mind as a computer, or capable of grasping input to create an output. This theory of mind paints humans as physical beings, only being able to accept first-person, objective truths. Do you feel more alive when you feel pain or look at a chair?

Jay Clarke returns to his imprint BLACKAXON for his 6th instalment which will be dropping in 4 parts across September and October 2021. The project titled ‘Riders of the Storm' was announced earlier in the year across his social media channels, where he made 4 previously unreleased and original tracks available to remix as part of a competition. This was opened up to all production levels, with the idea to give lesser experienced artists the chance to remix, get creative and most importantly have fun. Jay Clarke has carefully selected his favourite remixes, which include two Irish techno producers, as Dublin's Aero and Mode_1 both contribute their tracks to this exciting compilation. Today, we premiere Mode_1's remix, as the Subject resident and longtime figure within the Irish scene, provides us with a loopy and driving remix, primed and ready for the clubs and dance floors up and down the county.

Honestly; Find me any other podcaster or content creator that goes in depth with Functionalism vs Structuralism in Porn. Not Joe Rogan, not white Youtubers who started a podcast out of boredom and getting sponsorships for the bare minimum content and not your favorite podcasters, unless that happens to be us. Come for the intellectual analysis of cinema and romantic relationships and stay for a warning about the racist algorithm, all broken down by highly knowledgeable professionals.

William James (1842–1910) was the first American psychologist who espoused a different perspective on how psychology should operate.

In this episode, Matthew talks to Dr. Laura Way about Functionalism- what it is, where it originated and who are the most important theorists within the discipline. Terms such as Positivism, consensus, meritocracy and anomie are all discussed here.

Functionalism, Marxist and Feminist Theory.

Continuing on Ned Block's "Troubles with Functionalism" (1978) and David Chalmers's "Absent Qualia, Fading Qualia, Dancing Qualia" (1995). What would it be like to be halfway between person and machine? If you think the machine can't have consciousness, then Chalmers thinks that there's no sensible way to describe such an experience, ergo the machine (if functionally equivalent to the person) must have consciousness after all.

On Ned Block's "Troubles with Functionalism" (1978) and David Chalmers's "Absent Qualia, Fading Qualia, Dancing Qualia" (1995). If mental states are functional states, there couldn't be zombies. Yet Block claims that there could be zombies: for example, a functional duplicate of you whose components are actually citizens of China obeying algorithmic rules. Even if the resulting system acts like you, it obviously isn't conscious. Chalmers argues that you'd then need to explain the experiences of a creature half way between you and the zombie, but you can't, so Block's argument doesn't work and functionalism is left standing.

Consciousness is a concept which is at the forefront of much scientific and philosophical thinking. At the same time, there is large disagreement over what consciousness exactly is and whether it can be fully captured by science or is best explained away by a reductionist understanding. Some believe consciousness to be the source of all value and others take it to be a kind of delusion or confusion generated by algorithms in the brain. The Qualia Research Institute takes consciousness to be something substantial and real in the world that they expect can be captured by the language and tools of science and mathematics. To understand this position, we will have to unpack the philosophical motivations which inform this view, the intuition pumps which lend themselves to these motivations, and then explore the scientific process of investigation which is born of these considerations. Whether you take consciousness to be something real or illusory, the implications of these possibilities certainly have tremendous moral and empirical implications for life's purpose and role in the universe. Is existence without consciousness meaningful? In this podcast, Lucas spoke with Mike Johnson and Andrés Gómez Emilsson of the Qualia Research Institute. Andrés is a consciousness researcher at QRI and is also the Co-founder and President of the Stanford Transhumanist Association. He has a Master's in Computational Psychology from Stanford. Mike is Executive Director at QRI and is also a co-founder. Mike is interested in neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and complexity theory. Topics discussed in this episode include: -Functionalism and qualia realism -Views that are skeptical of consciousness -What we mean by consciousness -Consciousness and casuality -Marr's levels of analysis -Core problem areas in thinking about consciousness -The Symmetry Theory of Valence -AI alignment and consciousness You can take a very short survey about the podcast here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YWHDFV7

This week we go back to the basics by introducing the three schools of sociological thought - conflict theory, structural functionalism, and symbolic interactionism. Knowing these three schools is a must for any aspiring sociologist. Join us as we discuss how Marx theorized the process of social change through conflict, why Durkheim believed society needed religion in order to function, and why people interpret the symbolic significance of guns differently. Which school of thought do you subscribe to?

A talk given by Jonathan Schaffer (Rutgers) at the Moral Sciences Club on 16th October 2018.

David Yates argues that some physically realised qualitative properties have their causal roles solely in virtue of being the qualities they are, and not in virtue of the powers bestowed by their physical realizers on a given occasion. In this paper I argue that some physically realised qualitative properties have their causal roles solely in virtue of being the qualities they are, and not in virtue of the powers bestowed by their physical realizers on a given occasion. This theory requires a broad notion of physical realization that encompasses the realization of properties such as structure and shape, as well as functional properties. I appeal to the causal role of molecular structure in support of my position, and suggest that powerful qualities of this kind exhibit emergent downward causation without violating physical realization, or the causal closure of the broadly physical. The resulting theory, I suggest, offers far better resources for explaining the autonomy of the special sciences than traditional alternatives such as functionalism and supevenience emergentism

Today as it is our 100th episode (and we are fast approaching 700,000 subscribers) we have decided to do something a little different! We have a panel of AskHistorians Moderators to talk about AskHistorians Under the Hood--what it is like to moderate and run the worlds largest academic history forum. AskHistorians has grown a lot in its six, nearly 7 years of existence, spawning several articles, helping several careers, several academic panels (which you can hear on earlier episodes) and this podcast! So if you have no interest in AskHistorians as a reddit community, this podcast might be of less interest to you. But regardless we have a great lineup today. The format today will be brief discussions of individual moderators about different aspects of AskHistorians followed by period of comment by the whole panel!   Today we are joined by 1) /u/bernardito, better known as Stefan, flaired in Modern Guerrilla and Counterinsurgency, to talk about the development of the subreddit and his own development. You can also catch him on episodes 39 and 40 talking about Algeria and Counter-Insurgency. 2) /u/commiespaceinvader, also known as Joe, flaired in to Holocaust  Nazi Germany and Wehrmacht War Crimes, to talk about holocaust denialism, the academic theories underpinning academia and AskHistorians, and the emotional labor of working on a very difficult topic. You can also catch him on episodes 91 and 57 talking about fascism and Intentionalism and Functionalism in the Holocaust 3) /u/snapshot52, known as Kyle, flaired in Native American Studies | Colonialism, to talk about theory in a non-western and subaltern points of view, and the difficulties and pleasures of this. You can also catch him on episodes 75 and 80 talking about Indian Policy and Indian Sovereignty and Cultural Genocide against American Indians 4) /u/chocolatepot, known to her friends and family as Cassidy Percoco, flaired in the History of Western Fashion, to discuss what it is like having interests that are contrarian to the reddit hivemind and culture, and what it is like to bring women's history to life. Catch her on episode 45 talking about Regency Era Fashion 5) /u/Iphikrates, known as Roel, flaired in Greek Warfare, to talk about being an expert in a field where the academic view is diametrically opposed to the public one, and how AH is a perfect opportunity to do something about it because the questions come from the public. Catch him also on episode 81 discussing Iphikrates and His Reforms Finally we will have 6) /u/Georgy_K_Zhukov, flaired in Post-Napoleonic Warfare & Small Arms | Dueling, to talk numbers and statistics and the state of the sub as a whole.   Discussion thread © 2019 Brian M. Watson

Commiespaceinvader explores the academic debate over the causes and the development of the Holocaust. We discuss the early steps taken by the Nazis to make Jewish life untenable within Germany, ghettoization, the Madagascar Plan, and finally, the transition to mass murder. These actions are viewed through the lens of the intentionalism and functionalism debate, which has at its core the question of not just of why the Holocaust came about, but also the question of assigning culpability for its development.

The Nature of Consciousness. What is the nature of consciousness and what is its relation to the physical world? In this episode of Meta Treks, hosts Zachary Fruhling and Mike Morrison explore the many ways that the nature of consciousness is portrayed in Star Trek. Focusing on the "hard problem" of consciousness (how subjective experience arises out of physical systems), Zachary and Mike explore different philosophical theories of consciousness, such as: mind-body dualism, physicalist theories of consciousness (identity theory, behaviorism, functionalism, non-reductive physicalism, and emergentism), and the problem of mental causation. Zachary and Mike also debate forms of consciousness found uniquely in Star Trek, such as the joint consciousness of the Trill, the collective consciousness of the Borg, the consciousness produced by Data's positronic brain, and the dualist nature of Spock's katra.

A Preliminary Field Guide to Linguists, Part Two; by Athanasious Schadenpoodle; From Volume CL, Number 2, of Speculative Grammarian, April 2005. — The previous installment, dealing with Neoplatonicus and Functionalisticus, comprised a brief discussion of the less problematic genera in the family--less problematic in the sense that their grouping is not contested among those working in this area. This section will deal with two groups whose taxonomic status is a matter of quite some debate; to a large extent, the groupings presented should be taken as tentative, and done largely for the sake of organized presentation (cf. Gnibbes 1998 and Czechzindemeyl 1999 for representative positions on grouping of these species). There is wide consensus that all linguistica families are descended from a single precursor species, linguistica saussurii, but the exact relations among branches are obscure. While isolated members of all of the daughter species share significant similarities to the parent saussurii (e.g., a diet supplemented by ethanol), none of the groups do so consistently.

A general school of thought that considers psychological phenomena in terms of their role in adaptation to the person's environment. 1889: William James established the first American school of psychology at Harvard University, call Functionalism. Functionalism: an approach that stressed how modern human thought might result from progressive adaptations our ancestors experienced.
