The Antisocial Mind
In this book, Professor Ghahreman Khodadad illuminates the basis of human behavior by examining the structures that underline antisociality. The book’s central thesis is that antisocial people are so thanks to biological and neurological structures. The principle of structure to function is used to argue that the brain, without us being conscious of it, produces our behaviors. If this claim is correct, then antisocial individuals are not accountable for their antisocial behavior, and they should be treated respectfully instead of being punished. Furthermore, prisons should accordingly be converted into rehabilitation, treatment, and behavioral research centers. This is a book for the general reader who is interested in the basis of human behavior. It should also be of interest to psychologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, geneticists, neurobiologists, and philosophers.
On Collaboration
On Collaboration: Personal, Educational and Societal Arenas provides an elaborated analysis of what it means to collaborate, particularly in educational contexts. It thereby adopts a mixed-genre approach, following L. Vygotsky, who maintained that, for example, the works of Shakespeare and of Dostoyevsky had as much to teach us about the human psyche as laboratory studies and field observations. The authors draw on results of scientific research, particularly on collaborative learning and work, as well as on autobiographical narrative and analysis of works of art. In addition, they broaden the scientific perspective on collaboration from purely educational perspectives by including personal, artistic, and societal contexts. By exploiting benefits of different styles and genres (expository, narrative, fictional, argumentative) this text intends to lead readers towards further reflection on collaboration in their own lives, and towards deeper understanding of the complexity and misconceptions of collaboration, including its societal relevance.
Loro. Io.
Un paesello del Salento affacciato sulla baia di Gallipoli è lo scenario perfetto per un’estate davvero unica. Sulla terrazza nell’antica e accogliente dimora Anna Lia, l’appuntamento all’ora del tramonto diventa un’abitudine irrinunciabile, l’occasione per raccontare e mettersi in ascolto; complici il buon cibo, il buon vino e qualche spritz, Pascal, Fabio Massimo e Lorenzo, da perfetti sconosciuti, instaureranno un sincero e profondo rapporto di amicizia in cui, accanto al divertimento e alla leggerezza, ci sarà spazio per profonde riflessioni sulla realtà e sul senso della vita. Per sintetizzare la vita di Paolo Incani basterebbero due parole: fasi e cambiamenti. Da sempre ...
The Animal Mind
The study of animal cognition raises profound questions about the minds of animals and philosophy of mind itself. Aristotle argued that humans are the only animal to laugh, but in recent experiments rats have also been shown to laugh. In other experiments, dogs have been shown to respond appropriately to over two hundred words in human language. In this introduction to the philosophy of animal minds Kristin Andrews introduces and assesses the essential topics, problems and debates as they cut across animal cognition and philosophy of mind. She addresses the following key topics: what is cognition, and what is it to have a mind? What questions should we ask to determine whether behaviour has ...
Napoli Milano da casello a casello
"Cosa mi piace dell'Italia? Mi piacciono gli italiani. Con i loro difetti, con le loro facce, con i loro dialetti, con la loro ingenuità sia a Nord che a Sud. Mi piacciono quelli che esagerano, i fanfaroni, quelli che ieri erano in un modo e oggi sono in un altro, mi piace la piccolezza, l'allegria, il tenere famiglia, il sapere tutto e non sapere niente, amo le persone serie ma anche quelle che lo sono solo a parole. Mi piace tutta questa umanità che né l'Expo di Milano con i suoi grattacieli né la camorra né i soldi sono riusciti a cancellare. Mi piace anche Scilipoti. Vabbe', Scilipoti forse è troppo." Dopo il successo di Benvenuti al Sud in questo suo primo libro Luca Miniero smont...

Echo
An exploration of echo not as simple repetition but as an agent of creative possibilities. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Amit Pinchevski proposes that echo is not simple repetition and the reproduction of sameness but an agent of change and a source of creation and creativity. Pinchevski views echo as a medium, connecting and mediating across and between disparate domains. He reminds us that the mythological Echo, sentenced by Juno to repeat the last words of others, found a way to make repetition expressive. So too does echo introduce variation into sameness, mediating between self and other, inside and outside, known and unknown, near and far. Echo has the pot...
