Development of a Muay Thai enthusiast: An Interpretation of Alfred North Whitehead's Theory of Learning

2013 May 1900 (has links)
The thesis examines the learning experience of Muay Thai training and competition through an interpretation of Whiteheads’ theory of learning. This examination is undertaken through a reflection on training and competing in Canada and Thailand during the 2009-2011 period. I will offer an analysis of learning Muay Thai through an interpretation of Whiteheads learning theory and educational philosophy. This thesis rejects learning as a product of hoarding information and recommends education must facilitate concrete and abstract experiences of the principles of freedom and discipline to allow for the development of wisdom and courage in learners. This paper argues that expressing oneself through Muay Thai facilitates non-violent dispositions by allowing for ‘rhythmic’ experiences which enable the growth of active wisdom and courage through periodic tests of training and competition. By providing an autoethnographic account of learning Muay Thai and a theoretical discussion on learning the author will provide a subsequent interpretation of Whiteheads’ theories applied to Muay Thai training and competition. This paper will also consider the educational merit of Muay Thai for marginalized identities as a consequence of developing active wisdom and courage.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Nesta tese, faço uma leitura dos escritos de Winnicott coligada à filosofia de Whitehead apoiada nas afinidades existentes entre estes autores. Realizo uma leitura que, ao contrário do que é usual nas exposições do autor, explicita pressupostos e sistematiza conceitos. Nela, priorizo a abordagem relacional e processual, aprofundo as descrições dos conceitos de self, meio ambiente, saúde, apropriação e transição e chego a delinear uma metapsicologia winnicotiana. A releitura dos processos de transformação de si daí resultantes potencializa a relevância das colocações de Winnicott para a clínica e para a teoria psicanalítica. / In this thesis I perform a reading of Winnicotts writings allied with Whiteheads philosophy, supported by the existing affinities between these two authors. My reading, contrary to the usual way the author exposes his ideas, clarifies presupositions and systematizes concepts. In it I give priority to a relational and processual approach, treat in detail his descriptions of concepts such as self, environment, health, appropriation and transition and reach a delineation of a Winnicotts metapsychology. This will result in a re-reading of the processes of self transformations which in turn will enhance Winnicotts contributions for psychoanalytical practice and theory.

Individuação e inocência: composições com Simondon e Whitehead / Individuation and innocence: compositions with Simondon and Whitehead

Fernando Maia Freire Ribeiro 02 September 2013 (has links)
A filosofia viveu um tempo de luminosidade crua em que havia contentamento (pelo menos entre os filósofos dignos de serem estudados) com a postulação das condições de possibilidade que cabiam no horizonte que essa luz podia, então, iluminar. Tudo que escapasse desse horizonte era obscuridade, irracionalidade, mera especulação e, pior de todas as ofensas: metafísica. Mas, alguma filosofia do séc. XX encontrou uma outra distribuição de luminosidade que permitiu um pensamento em claro-escuro, em tonalidades nuançadas em que a nitidez absoluta dos contornos se viu fluidificar, em que as figuras puras e sólidas se mostraram como híbridas, nebulosas derramadas, em que os objetos entraram na história e os homens se misturaram com a natureza, em que os movimentos do mundo e as imagens na consciência saíram da dualidade das qualidades primárias e secundárias e se aventuraram em novas perspectivas (aventuras que ainda atravessam desde a fenomenologia até o cinema). É neste cenário de novas distribuições que reaparece a questão da individuação apontando para uma outra concepção do indivíduo, não mais substancial e suporte de qualidades, não mais ancorado nos pares matéria e forma, atual e potencial. Tais pares se revelam insuficientes por não darem conta das impurezas que vêm à tona e das surpreendentes possibilidades inventadas (simbioses, alianças, infecções) e não somente atualizadas a partir de um potencial (filiação, reprodução). Nesse novo modo de compor, o atributo não mais se remete a um predicado qualidade, mas ao acontecimento, não mais às possibilidades latentes, mas à potência a ser inventada nas composições, nas relações constituintes dos diferentes modos de existência. Simondon foi o primeiro filósofo a levar em conta, de modo específico, o indivíduo se inventando em composição, daí ter renovado a questão da individuação e transformado o estatuto da relação. O ser é relação, tal é, com Simondon, a proposição que passa a figurar no centro do pensamento da individuação. Mas se, por um lado, havia essa promoção da relação, por outro lado, parecia não haver a liberação dos modos que, enfim, remetiam a uma natureza dos possíveis. Mesmo não funcionando como princípio, essa natureza parecia capturar os modos num potencial, de tal maneira que um novo humanismo, tão sufocante quanto qualquer outro, acompanhava toda a produção de Simondon. Não à toa, sua narrativa dos diferentes modos se fecha no encontro de uma unidade capaz de suportar o multirealismo dos híbridos que surgiam por toda parte. As metas, os sentidos do devir que povoam a obra de Simondon não seriam os ecos de uma velha moral da pureza, da luminosidade branca?Para escapar desse rebatimento da aventura dos modos em tipos privilegiados de relação que levavam a restaurar a unidade perdida, era preciso se lançar na inocência do processo das inumeráveis atividades de um tecido sem base, jogo de linhas impuras em cruzamentos inventados a cada momento. Nesse sentido: era o pensamento especulativo, expresso em sua própria escrita em zig-zag, de Whitehead já um antídoto aos possíveis rebatimentos da nova filosofia da individuação num mundo por demais reconhecido? É esse o espírito da composição nesse trabalho: a individuação simondoneana com a insistência em se entregar à aventura inocente dos processos se fazendo que se encontra em Whitehead (e nos muitos aliados que foram convocados para que outras músicas se façam ouvir). / Philosophy has lived a time of raw luminosity, together with a feeling of contentment (at least, among those philosophers who were worth being studied), with the postulates of the conditions of possibility fitting the horizon on which the light could then illuminate. Everything else, out of such range, was obscurity, irrationality, mere speculation and, the worst offense of all, metaphysics. But there it came the Philosophy of the 20th century which has come across some other luminosity distribution so as to allow black-and-white thought, in blurring nuances of once a clear spectrum at the edge of pure and solid figures, to hybrid, misty (cloudy, foggy) shedding ones, in which objects have come into history and men into nature, and in which the world movements and the conscious images have come out of the strict duality of the primary and secondary qualities to adventure into new perspectives ( adventures that are still crossing throughout from phenomenology to cinema).In this scenario of new distributions it revives the individuation problem which points out to a different individual conception: non-substantial and not quality supportive, not grounded in matter and form, in the potential and the actual, for such pairs are not sufficient to handle with both the debris, that come to the surface, and the amazing possibilities created then (symbioses, alliances, infections ), which are not simply actualized from a potentiality (filiation and reproduction). In such a new composition, the attribute does not refer to a quality predicate but to an event, not to latent possibilities but to the potentiality to be created in the constitutive relations of the different existence forms. Simondon was the first philosopher to, specifically, take into account the individual as it is crated in composition and then renewed the question of individuation, transforming the relation status. " The being is relation" is the proposition such as, according to Simondon, it starts to center the individuation thought. However, if, on one hand, there was the promotion of that relation, on the other, it looks as if there was no liberation of the forms, which, eventually, referred to the nature of the possibles. Even thought it does not work as a principle, that nature seemed to capture the forms into potential so as that a new humanism, as suffocating as any other, followed the production of Simondon. It is not by any chance that his account of the different forms converts into a unit which is able to hold the multirealism of the hybrids. Wouldn't the targets, the meanings, of becoming that inhabit Simenon' s work be an echo of an old moral of purity of white luminosity?In order to escape such a rebuttal of the forms adventure into privileged types (tokens) of relations, which has led to restore the lost unity, it was necessary to launch into the innocence process of the countless activities of a tissue without substance and, every time, a match of impure lines in created crossroads. Was it then the speculative thought, in this sense, expressed in its own zigzag writing, in Whitehead, an antidote to possible rebuttal of the new individuation philosophy in a for long acknowledged world? This is the spiritual realm of the current investigation: the simondonean individuation, as it is insisting on giving way to the innocent venture of doing-and-finding (doing-to-find ?) process in Whitehead (and in many other allies that are summoned so as to make some other music be sounded).

Por fim, calculamos G(S^n, S^n). / The goal of this work is to study partially the article [6], in which Gottlieb has defined a subgroup G(X, x_0) of pi_1(X, x_0) (where X is a path-connected CW-complex based at x_0), called "Gottlieb group" in the literature. This group is computed in this work for some spaces, namely the spheres, the torus, the projective spaces, and the Klein bottle. Further, a paper by Varadarajan [22] who has generalized Gottlieb group to a subset G(A, X) of [A, X]_* is studied. Finally, the groups G(S^n, S^n) is computed.

Language contact and structural change : An Old Finnish case study

De Smit, Merlijn January 2006 (has links)
The object of this study is to shed new light on both the influence exerted on Finnish by the Swedish language, and on the mechanisms by which language contact in structural domains takes place. It is argued that syntactic borrowing should be regarded as a subtype of reanalysis and extension rather than as an independent mechanism. Also, the need to regard linguistic structural change as teleologically motivated rather than deterministically caused is stressed. Possibilities to apply a framework based on A.N. Whitehead’s process philosophy to language change are explored. The corpus consists of six legal translations from the 1580s to 1759. The areas studied, all relating to Finnish object and subject marking, are those of the Finnish passive, which under foreign influence has shown tendencies to change from a typically non-promotional passive to a promotional passive; Finnish necessitive constructions, which form an active-stative subsystem within Finnish with marked active subjects and unmarked objects/non-active subjects but have shown tendencies to develop a nominative-accusative system in dialects influenced by Swedish; and the Finnish relative word "kuin", which has been taken to be a Swedish calque modelled on "som". The result is a complex interplay of reanalyses and extensions with foreign model patterns involved to a varying degree. Development of a promotional passive seems to involve both internal semantic factors and Swedish models. Necessitive subjects appear to be marked or unmarked on the basis of a merger between constructions involving active subjects and passive objects, possibly modelled on Swedish. And the relative word "kuin" has been integrated into Old Finnish in a way at odds with the usage of the model pattern. This vindicates abandoning the dichotomy between “internal” and “external” changes, and regarding language contact as a background factor rather than as an independent cause.
