Emergentism - New form of Emergentism; Ethics & Moral Philosophy; Philosophy of Mind; Popular Science; Self-Improvement; Phenomenology; Existentialism.Emergentism is the study and tentative explanation of how order arises in everything from quantum fluctuations to human consciousness. The aim of The Emergent Method is to use the new philosophy of Emergentism and the findings of modern science to challenge the way we think, and thereby help fulfil our highest purposes.

This book introduces readers to the philosophical theory of Emergentism. It explores Emergentism's many ramifications in areas of science, phenomenology, philosophy of mind, ethics and morality. The book suggests to readers how Emergentism may be incorporated into daily life in very practical ways. The book's list of far-reaching ideas is extensive, but somehow none of the ideas presented is completely unfamiliar. The notions are simple and naturalistic. Here are two examples: -The evolution of life is a subset of the emergence of everything and the Scientific Method is a subset of the Emergent Method. -Disorder and movement is the default state of the universe that does not need explaining; order and apparent stability is a transient phenomenon that needs contingent explanation and provides temporal meaning and value. The book is directed towards all those who question life, science, philosophy, and themselves.

Here are two examples: -We can solve the hard problem of consciousness if we look at it from the perspective of nonlocal waves rather than local particles. -Free-will arises in a sentient being through an interoperability with its environment. Free-will is not an illusion, but independence from our environment is an illusion. The book is directed towards all those who question life, science, philosophy, and themselves.

More than a century has passed since Sigmund Freud began his groundbreaking work in psychoanalysis yet there is no consensus about his legacy; instead there is persistent disagreement not only about Freud's reputation and place in history but about the proper standards to use in evaluating his theory and therapy. This book develops epistemological standards for Freudian psychology and provides a comprehensive evaluation of, and possibly final, verdict on Freud's theory and therapy. Unlike any other evaluation published to date, it contains a systematic discussion of both the Freudian experimental and non-experimental evidence and the proper standards for interpreting the evidence. Part I considers the view that Freud's theory should be judged by special evidential standards deemed appropriate for judging hypotheses of commonsense psychology. Edward Erwin argues against this view and for the employment of standards applicable to causal hypotheses of both the natural and social sciences. Erwin also addresses other issues about standards such as the need for experimental evidence, the use of placebo controls, the proper goals of psychotherapy, and the use of meta-analysis in analyzing outcome data. The standards developed in part I of the book are used in part II in evaluating the best available Freudian evidence. A Bradford Book

The political and policy implications of recent developments in neuroscience, including new techniques in imaging and neurogenetics. New findings in neuroscience have given us unprecedented knowledge about the workings of the brain. Innovative research--much of it based on neuroimaging results--suggests not only treatments for neural disorders but also the possibility of increasingly precise and effective ways to predict, modify, and control behavior. In this book, Robert Blank examines the complex ethical and policy issues raised by our new capabilities of intervention in the brain. After surveying current knowledge about the brain and describing a wide range of experimental and clinical interventions--from behavior-modifying drugs to neural implants to virtual reality--Blank discusses the political and philosophical implications of these scientific advances. If human individuality is simply a product of a network of manipulable nerve cell connections, and if aggressive behavior is a treatable biochemical condition, what happens to our conceptions of individual responsibility, autonomy, and free will? In light of new neuroscientific possibilities, Blank considers such topics as informed consent, addiction, criminal justice, racism, commercial and military applications of neuroscience research, new ways to define death, and political ideology and partisanship. Our political and social institutions have not kept pace with the rapid advances in neuroscience. This book shows why the political issues surrounding the application of this new research should be debated before interventions in the brain become routine.

Stirring is one of the most important operations in process technology. No chemical exists that has non been submitted to a mixing process during its synthesis. Furthermore, stirring is important for the pharmaceutical and food industries, too. The most important mixing operations are applied to homogenize miscible liquids, to intensify the heat transfer between a liquid and the heat exchanger, and to perform mass transfer in multiphase systems, to whirl up solid particles in fluids and to disperse immiscible liquids. This book discusses in detail the above listed operations, taking into consideration also different rheological behaviour of the system treated (Newtonian and non-Newtonian). For each stirring task reliable scale-up rules are presented. In addition, mixing in pipes is discussed in great detail. Since there are so many aspects it is almost impossible for the user to get and keep an overview. Therefore, this book presents more than 730 references and covers publications until the end of the year 2000 for everybody who needs to know more details.
