of philosophy [2]

Indeed, many of the persons known to later times as great philosophers, were, in their own time, persecuted, discriminated, killed, or removed from society. This applies i.a. to Heraclite, Buddha, Socrates, Aristotle, Epicure, Lucretius, Abelard, Bacon, Ockham, Galileo, Descartes, Spinoza, Hume, Rousseau, Marx, Nietzsche, Peirce and Russell, to name some.

The great philosophers have been the creators of the ideas and values many people oriented their lives around, but during their own lives they were generally silent or in trouble, for they dared to say what their contemporaries did not want to hear, to discuss what they did not want to face, and to study and write what very few took interest in or understood.

  1. All ideas about philosophy or science, including those that ridicule or condemn philosophy or science, are themselves philosophical ideas, and such as declare all philosophy useless, trifling, or impossible are little better than a refusal to do any serious philosophical or scientific reasoning.
  2. The ideas people live and die for, go to war for and kill each other for, or let themselves be inspired to the making of great art or science, are all philosophical ideas.
The lives people lead and the choices they make are the result of the philosophies they hold, whether they are conscious of this fact or not.

of philosophy

  • Philosophy doesn't really have a subject matter in the way math or history or most other university subjects do. There is no core of knowledge one must master. The closest you come to that is a knowledge of what various individual philosophers have said about different topics over the years. Few were sufficiently correct that people have forgotten who discovered what they discovered.
  •  
  • It does seem to me very important to be able to flip ideas around in one's head: to see when two ideas don't fully cover the space of possibilities, or when one idea is the same as another but with a couple things changed. But did studying logic teach me the importance of thinking this way, or make me any better at it? I don't know.

  • With Socrates, Plato, and particularly Aristotle, this tradition turned a corner. There started to be a lot more analysis. I suspect Plato and Aristotle were encouraged in this by progress in math. Mathematicians had by then shown that you could figure things out in a much more conclusive way than by making up fine sounding stories about them. 
  •  
  • People talk so much about abstractions now that we don't realize what a leap it must have been when they first started to. It was presumably many thousands of years between when people first started describing things as hot or cold and when someone asked "what is heat?"
  •  
  • This is all to explain how Plato and Aristotle can be very impressive and yet naive and mistaken. It was impressive even to ask the questions they did. That doesn't mean they always came up with good answers. It's not considered insulting to say that ancient Greek mathematicians were naive in some respects, or at least lacked some concepts that would have made their lives easier. So I hope people will not be too offended if I propose that ancient philosophers were similarly naive. In particular, they don't seem to have fully grasped what I earlier called the central fact of philosophy: that words break if you push them too far.
  •  
  • I propose we try again, but that we use that heretofore despised criterion, applicability, as a guide to keep us from wondering off into a swamp of abstractions. Instead of trying to answer the question:
    What are the most general truths?
    let's try to answer the question
    Of all the useful things we can say, which are the most general?
    The test of utility I propose is whether we cause people who read what we've written to do anything differently afterward. Knowing we have to give definite (if implicit) advice will keep us from straying beyond the resolution of the words we're using.
  •  
  • im to make. It won't seem so preposterous in 10,000 years. Civilization always seems old, because it's always the oldest it's ever been. The only way to say whether something is really old or not is by looking at structural evidence, and structurally philosophy is young; it's still reeling from the unexpected breakdown of words.

GGR216H1    Global Cities[24L]
  1. Most urban courses taught in the English-speaking world implicitly or explicitly focus on large North American, European, or Australian cities.
  2. While these places are interesting in their own right, studying them as the sole model of urbanization is misleading.  
  3. To a great extent, the societies of the westernized, developed world are already highly-urbanized and have been so for decades.  
  4. Cities outside of this sphere, by contrast, are generally growing much faster, and experiencing greater social and economic upheaval as a result.  
  5. Understanding non-North American urbanization is a vital part of understanding cities in general.  
  6. This course is an attempt to introduce students to processes of urbanization that are occurring in places other than North America.   
  7. There will be a particular focus on comparing the urban form, economies, and social life in cities around the world.

  •  eating breakfast not only aids in weight management, it fuels the body to help provide energy, better concentration and problem-solving ability throughout the day, according to the food and nutrition experts at the American Dietetic Association.
  •  "Eating breakfast is very important for the brain and the body first thing in the morning", said Los Angeles registered dietitian Gail Frank, spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. 
  • "Breakfast skippers often feel tired, restless or irritable in the morning." 
  • helps curb your hunger and prevent binge eating later in the day.

    • short attention span, 
    • lack of alertness, longer reaction time, 
    • low blood sugar, decreased work productivity. 
      • Surely, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Take time to eat a large, balanced breakfast. It’s a good investment of your time. O  
 Glucose
  •  is essential for the brain and is the main energy source.
  • Blood glucose also helps fuel the muscles needed for physical activity throughout the day. 
  • Glucose is the basic fuel for the brain and central nervous system.

  • Ready-to-eat whole-grain cereal topped with fruit and a cup of yogurt
  • Whole-grain waffles topped with peanut butter, fruit or ricotta cheese
  • A whole-wheat pita stuffed with sliced hard-cooked eggs
  • Hot cereal topped with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice or cloves
  • Peanut butter on a bagel with fresh fruit (banana or apple wedges) and low-fat milk
  • Breakfast smoothie (milk, fruit and teaspoon of bran, whirled in a blender)
  • Vegetable omelet with a bran muffin and orange juice
If your taste buds just do not crave breakfast foods in the morning, try:
  • Cheese pizza and orange juice
  • Grilled vegetables mixed with beans and cilantro topped with cheese
  • Heated leftover rice with chopped apples, nuts and cinnamon and fruit juice
With nearly 70,000 members, the Chicago-based American Dietetic Association is the nation's largest organization of food and nutrition professionals. The ADA serves the public by promoting optimal nutrition and well-being.

ouch!

It often amazes me how people take better care of their cars than their bodies. I have yet to meet a person who said, “God has a plan as to when my car should ‘die’ and I do not need to worry about it. I don’t need to check or change the oil, or perform any routine maintenance. And I don’t need to worry about the type of gasoline I use.” We recognize the necessity of proper care to get the longest life and best performance out of our automobiles. When will we realize that proper care also gives our bodies the longest life and best performance? 


What’s your excuse for not eating breakfast?
  • “No time?” How much time does it take to eat a bowl of cereal? Make toast and eat it on your way to work. Make your breakfast the night before. Making time for breakfast is making time to be healthy. 
  • “Not hungry?” To get started, don’t eat anything after an early supper. Finish supper by 6:30 p.m.  

 Take the step. Do the right thing. Eat breakfast.!

The sky’s the limit. The only limitation is your imagination. Make it a priority. Eat breakfast.
