It covers 6 main concepts: 1) long continuance, 2) balance and proportion, 3) cycle and period, 4) relation of all things, 5) use but not hold, 6) open source and save spending. These concepts emphasized harmony between humanity and nature, balance in resource use, and following natural cycles and orders to achieve sustainable development.
A Comparative Philosophical Study on Modern and Traditional TechnologiesIJMTST Journal
By a review on the history of science, philosophy and art from the ancient times to the modern world,
human beings always preserved their connection with intellectus and metaphysics before modern history
(tradition period)and they looked at the existence as the nature of the creature of God. The human of
tradition periodthrough the connection tointellectus as well as the help of reasonuses the technology that
is in line with the laws of nature and in the service of human. This connection gradually fadeduntil this
connection, due to many pressures that the church brought to the people, reached its lowest extent or even
disappeared in the middle ages (in West) or even sooner. Human of modern history, only by the help of
reason, began to develop and build in the universe.Therefore, the thought of executive technology is
influenced by the philosophy of modernism and is formed based on the reason and Rationalism. The
present research will examine and analyze in order to consider thecomparative and philosophical
activities of modern and traditional technologies by focusing on philosophical and infrastructure
issues.The analytical-comparative method and library tools are used in the present study.
The document discusses how yoga has drifted from mainstream life due to perspectives that privilege ascetics or focus only on physical exercises. It states that yoga is actually an art of managing life like riding a horse. It argues that Indian and world society needs to be salvaged by re-exploring scriptural wisdom through the simultaneous practice of yoga, which involves reorienting oneself for individual and universal blossoming. It presents NAMASMARAN as a simple yet effective way to revitalize lifestyle through this practice of yoga.
Fernando was born with microtia, a condition where the outer ear is underdeveloped or absent. He was missing his entire right ear. Doctors at CHKD reconstructed Fernando's ear using a novel two-step process. First, Dr. Moody created an ear canal and eardrum, allowing Fernando to hear from his right ear for the first time. Then Dr. Hoerr built an outer ear using a synthetic implant, giving Fernando a natural appearance. Six months after surgery, Fernando's ear had healed beautifully. He gained confidence from his new ear and haircut, and was thrilled to hear his classmates at school.
Here are concise revisions of the wordy sentences:
1. He dropped out of school because he needed to help support his family.
2. The bus company will announce the new schedule within the next few days.
3. Students can meet in many ways.
This document provides an overview of a feasibility study that tested a novel gravity-induced exercise intervention for individuals with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). The intervention consisted of 7 progressively difficult exercises performed once a month over 5 months. 7 patients with POTS participated in the study. Results were variable among patients, but 3 out of 7 patients saw improvements in measures like cumulative exercise repetitions, orthostatic symptoms, and fatigue. The document discusses why some patients improved and others did not, and considers how the intervention may fit into future multifaceted POTS management. It meets the aims of the study by evaluating the intervention's effects and compliance.

Evoation of Homo Eruditus (The paradigm shift of Darwin's theory of evolution...ALIBEATZ
The document discusses reconciling the theory of evolution with the Islamic belief in the creation of Adam. It argues that the earth used to create Adam already contained the evolved cells and DNA of early humans, leading to the formation of the human body. The goal is to unite the understanding that evolution and creation both occurred, with Adam and humans referred to as "Homo Eruditus." The document outlines its 12 sections, including examining current Islamic views on evolution and how to reconcile scientific knowledge with the Quran. It discusses evolution and Darwin's theory, the creation of Adam according to the Quran and hadiths, and how cells and DNA relate to the concept of Adam being formed from clay.
This lighting talk aims to explore, from an holistic point of view as opposed to the reductionist thinking, how the Lean Agile methodologies can be considered as part of the “turning point” in the crisis of Western reductionist way of thinking. Recent scientific discoveries indicate that all life – from the most primitive cells, up to human societies, corporations and nation-states, even the global economy – is organized along the same basic patterns and principles: those of the network. Both (Lean & Agile) offer a thinking tool set that allow us to create new models and different approaches. Hence, in this lighting talk I would like to affirm how tightly humans are connected with the fabric of life and make it clear that it is imperative to organize our world according to a different set of values and beliefs.
An Analysis of Wushu's Theoretical Concept and its Reflection in Wushu's Prac...IOSR Journals
Abstract: Wushu is an essential part of Chinese culture. It is highly valued for its defensive, health-preserving, entertaining and educational functions. It has a rich history and its development can be traced from the dawn of the Chinese civilization till its present status as a sports discipline aiming to enter the Olympic Games. The internationalization of Wushu being one of the main concerns in the context of its present development suggests the existence of comprehensible literature that can provide the non- Chinese reader with a better understanding of Wushu. Therefore, this paper introduces health-preserving, social-regulating and harmonizing functions of Wushu,the way they are reflected in its practice. Key Words:Wushu, traditional Chinese culture, martial arts
Sujay irreducible simplicity FINAL FINAL FINAL FINAL FINAL.pdfSujay Rao Mandavilli
This document proposes the concept of "irreducible simplicity" as a guiding principle for science. It argues that scientific hypotheses, theories, and communication should be simplified as much as possible while still being comprehensive. This approach could improve all aspects of science from developing hypotheses to testing them and communicating findings to diverse audiences. It compares this concept to "irreducible complexity", arguing the latter is not a valid scientific concept. Adopting "irreducible simplicity" could advance science and its benefits to society. The document provides background on scientific methodology and reviews principles like simplicity, economy, and efficiency to support its thesis.
This document discusses methodological inductivism in science. It begins by defining key terms like inductivism, hypothetico-deductivism, methodology, and scientific methods/processes. It proposes an approach called "methodological inductivism" which aims to align different scientific techniques for the greater good. It discusses related approaches like method triangulation and lists the steps of methodological inductivism. The document argues this approach could distinguish modern science, foster collaboration, and help science progress rapidly to benefit society.
Historical theory provides a framework for analyzing historical knowledge and understanding how it is constructed. It examines what kind of knowledge of the past is possible and how that knowledge is assembled and presented. A theory is a carefully constructed explanation for observations of the natural world built using the scientific method. History covers the totality of past human actions and the narratives we construct about them now. Philosophies of history consider what the proper unit of analysis is for studying the human past, whether patterns exist across history, and what factors determine historical change.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in philosophy and how they relate to education. It discusses major branches and theories of philosophy from both Eastern and Western traditions. In Western philosophy, it covers naturalism and idealism. For Eastern philosophies, it outlines key concepts in Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism, and Islam. It also discusses how these different philosophical traditions influence views of knowledge, logic, values, reality, and the purpose of education.
This document outlines the course objectives and topics for an introduction to philosophy of the human person class, including examining human experiences of embodiment, sociality, freedom, and mortality. The first grading period will focus on understanding philosophy's approach to the human person as an embodied being, while the second grading period will analyze human living through concepts of freedom, relationships, society, and an orientation towards death. The overall goal is for students to gain a holistic understanding of life through philosophical reflection on what it means to be human.

This document discusses deep biomimicry, which aims to consciously emulate nature's designs and principles in a way that respects ecological systems and all life. It provides examples of how bullet trains and medical adhesives were inspired by kingfishers and shark skin. However, the document argues that biomimicry risks being used for militaristic or commercial ends without attention to ethics. It calls for a deeper approach informed by animism, indigenous ways of knowing, and an understanding of nature as conscious and purposeful. The goal is for humans to cooperate with natural systems rather than view them instrumentally.
The document summarizes a security conference held in Beijing that incorporated Confucian and Daoist perspectives. Speakers at the conference discussed Chinese concepts like reciprocity, harmony, and non-action from traditional texts and how they relate to modern security issues. They argued this perspective privileges cooperation over aggression and that China's foreign policy of a "Harmonious Region" draws from these traditional philosophies of dynamic and correlative relationships. The conference provided an example of how non-Western traditions could provide alternative lenses for analyzing global security challenges in a changing geopolitical landscape.
This document discusses the multi-dimensional aspects of culture and its potential role in planning built environments in India. It defines key terms like culture, tradition, religion, and heritage. Culture consists of activities like arts and philosophy that are important for civilization. Tradition refers to long-standing customs passed down through generations. The document examines how culture is embedded in the built environment through elements like art, diversity, and human relationships. It also discusses different approaches to cultural studies and divides cultural variables into efficiency orientation and social orientation. Finally, it presents challenges of incorporating culture into planning and showcases Amity School of Architecture and Planning's exhibition on the topic.
Idealism, as espoused by Plato and Socrates, holds that ideas are the only true reality and focuses on conscious reasoning. Realism, developed by Aristotle, believes reality exists independently of the mind and focuses on observable objects and facts. Pragmatism, advocated by Dewey and Rousseau, views reality as constantly changing and believes in learning through problem solving and experience. Existentialism, developed by Sartre and Kierkegaard, sees reality as subjective to the individual and focuses on freedom, choice, and finding personal meaning. Across these philosophies, teaching methods include discussion, inquiry, problem solving, and empowering students to direct their own learning and values.
“This article will discuss the importance of knowing precisely between knowledge and science. Regarding this matter, the discussion would like to introduce two different points of view about Universe; from Scientists and Islamic perspective, because from which philosophers and Scientists formulate or synthesized their findings and results of their observations according to the preconscious Ideas. This is a preliminary effort to discuss on how the reality of sciences (haqa’iq al-‘ulum) and the knowledge (al-ma‘rifat) can help mankind knowing, establishing and acknowledging Allah and His present and existence. By knowing these, we could learn the privilege of Islamic fundamentals and requirements for sciences and knowledge. Hence, they should entails upon Muslims especially or Non-Muslim in general into the ultimate truth and justice to the Knowledge and Science & Technology. This is what is supposed to be in scientific and technological application in the worldly lives.”

Transhumanism and the idea of education in the world of cyborgs. Michał Klichowski .
We are cyborgs. We are transhumans; transitory people that exist in a luminal
phase2, waiting for a transfer to the posthuman world.3 Our children do not
need education; it is cyborgization that ensures their development. This is the
idea of transhumanistic philosophy, a thoroughly (non-/anti-)pedagogic idea.
This document provides an overview of qualitative research, outlining some of its key features and philosophical underpinnings. It discusses how qualitative research focuses on understanding people's experiences and interpretations of the world. The document then contrasts qualitative research with quantitative research, noting that qualitative research rejects the positivist model used in natural sciences. It explores some of the philosophical debates around different research paradigms, such as objectivism and interpretivism. Finally, it discusses Thomas Kuhn's work on paradigms and how some researchers believe this helped spur a paradigm shift towards qualitative research in the social sciences.
Built environment foucault space as powerguestuser7
The document discusses several key concepts related to built environments and spatial culture:
- Bentham's Panopticon prison design exemplifies modern disciplinary power by allowing constant surveillance of inmates from a central tower, even if they are not always watched. This internalizes control.
- Built form refers to a building or city's physical layout, shapes, and structural elements that define it spatially. The built environment combines physical and infrastructure elements that support human living, working and activities.
- Spatial layout influences human behavior and can provide social, economic and environmental benefits if well designed. Culture encompasses the arts and practices that characterize human groups.

Many scholars believe that the conquest and control of natural Western Anthropocentrism theory, is thought of the root causes of ecological crisis in modern society. 中国古代的思想强调人与自然的和睦相处,主张天人合一,只有这样才能真正有助于人类的物质福利和长久生存。 Ancient Chinese thought to emphasize the people and nature live in harmony, that harmony between man and nature, the only way to truly contribute to humanity's material well-being and long-term survival.
4. 概述 overview: [ Prof. Liu Guanzhong ] [ Tsinghua University] / [Academy of Art&Design] / [China] 中国古代的师法自然的生态观,为人类在当代生态危机提供了宝贵的启示。 Ancient China advocating natural ecological concept, for mankind in the contemporary ecological crisis has provided valuable insight. “ 天人合一”的思想概念最早是由庄子阐述 , 后其他思想家发展为一套的哲学思想体系 , 并由此构建了中华传统文化的主体。 "Unity of Heaven and Man" and thought the concept was first described by Chuang-Tzu, the latter for other thinkers to develop a philosophy, and thus constructed the main body of traditional Chinese culture.
5. 1 、悠久持续观 : idea of long continuance [ Prof. Liu Guanzhong ] [ Tsinghua University] / [Academy of Art&Design] / [China] 中国古代先民追求事物的恒久稳定,认为自然世界本就是持久延续的不变,老子的天道观中也有“天长地久”永恒的思想。 Ancient Chinese ancestors pursuit long-lasting stability of things, consider the natural world is a lasting continuation of the same, the Way of Heaven Lao Tzu concept also has “ever” thought eternal. 提倡根据“天时”来把握生物资源生长、繁殖的规律,以便使生物资源尽可能的再生、持续利用。 Advocated under the "days" to grasp the biological resources, growth, reproduction of the law, so that as much as possible of renewable biological resources, sustainable use.
6. 1 、悠久持续观 : idea of long continuance [ Prof. Liu Guanzhong ] [ Tsinghua University] / [Academy of Art&Design] / [China] 世间万物都是由时间的积累所产生的,生物的生息、繁衍、进化也是在时间的长河中演变发展的。所以,古人对物种的持续性繁衍和长久发展有着积极的保护思想。 The world all things are generated by the accumulation of time, and reproduction, evolution of organisms are also in the time evolution of the long river. Therefore, the ancients of species reproduction and the sustainability of long-term development of the protection have positive thought.
7. 2 、平衡守定观 : idea of balance and proportion [ Prof. Liu Guanzhong ] [ Tsinghua University] / [Academy of Art&Design] / [China] 平衡守定观中包含了两种思想 : 其一是“有余补不足”的思想。中国古民讲求事物平衡稳定,不偏不倚。通过以“有余”来补“不足”,避免贫富的悬殊和两极分化。 The idea of balance and proportion contain two thought: One is "more than make up for the shortfall" of thought. Ancient Chinese people do things in balance and stability and impartial. Through "surplus" to fill "insufficient”, they avoid the disparity and polarization between rich and poor. 现代社会,物质消费的欲望日益膨胀,贫富悬殊的差距也愈加明显,给社会和生态都的发展带来不平衡。 In modern society, the desire for material consumption growing, the gap between the rich and the poor has become even more obvious to the social and ecological imbalance.
8. 2 、平衡守定观 : idea of balance and proportion [ Prof. Liu Guanzhong ] [ Tsinghua University] / [Academy of Art&Design] / [China] 其二是“物极必反”的思想。事物的对立面之间是会相互转化的,过度带来破坏,所以要维持大自然的平衡。 The second is "extremes meet" the thought. Things are the antithesis of each other between the transformations, excessive brought destruction, it is necessary to maintain the balance of nature. 人类利用自然资源时、要适可而止,对大自然和生态环境的破坏,会带来反面作用的强大破坏力。 Human use of natural resources, it is necessary to stop before going too far, of nature and ecological damage to the environment, will bring a strong negative destructive role.
9. 3 、循环往复观 : idea of cycle and period [ Prof. Liu Guanzhong ] [ Tsinghua University] / [Academy of Art&Design] / [China] 古代人们通过对自然界春、夏、秋、冬四季循环交替的观察和对动植物生长、生息规律的把握,认为世间万物都有其循环的规律性,这是自然系统的和谐之本和秩序之源。 Ancient people of the natural world through the spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons alternating cycle of observation and of animal and plant growth, interest-earning grasp the law, consider all things in the world has its own cycle regularity, which is the harmony of natural systems and in order source.
10. 3 、循环往复观 : idea of cycle and period [ Prof. Liu Guanzhong ] [ Tsinghua University] / [Academy of Art&Design] / [China] 天地万物之间的协调发展正是由阴阳循环的运动产生和维系的。人类也必须在这种周期性的动态平衡的节奏中才能维系其生存。 Universe is between the coordinated development of exercise by the yin-yang cycle of generating and maintaining. Human beings must also be in such a cyclical rhythm of the dynamic balance can be maintained in their survival. 循环往复观中的另一法则是循环在交替中进行,事物的发展是螺旋型交替上升的。人类取法有天地自然之道,维护自然界的这种和谐秩序。 Cycle view of another rule of thumb is at the turn of the cycle, and things spiral development is the increase in the turn. Human beings should follow the natural way, maintaining this harmonious order of nature.

Heaven and Earth are interdependent and people are a part of heaven and earth. Inter-dimensional view of all things contained in the "harmony between man and nature" and "Heaven corresponding" two aspects of thought. 天人合一的思想中是天人一体,构成完整的系统,趋向在一体 ; 同时,天人共生共荣,只要自然生态和谐,人类就和谐。 The thought of harmony between man and nature are divine together, constitute a complete system, the trend in one; At the same time, Heaven symbiotic, as long as the natural ecological harmony, the harmony of mankind.
12. 4 、万物互维观 : idea of all things relation [ Prof. Liu Guanzhong ] [ Tsinghua University] / [Academy of Art&Design] / [China] 在道家的思想学说认为人应该遵循道的自然法则。“人法地,地法天,天法道,道法自然。“这种观念倡导人们尊重自然、爱护环境,保持生态平衡,才能有利于社会的可持续发展。 In Taoist thought think people should be guided by the doctrine of natural law Road. "Human follow heaven, heaven follow principle, principle follow nature”, Such a concept advocated respect for nature, care for the environment and maintain ecological balance, and can be conducive to the sustainable development of society.
13. 5 、持而不有观 idea of use but not hold [ Prof. Liu Guanzhong ] [ Tsinghua University] / [Academy of Art&Design] / [China] 在老子的思想中,对“有”和“无”的关系有着其独特的见解。“无形的”东西能产生出很大的作用,但人们往往只注意“有形的”作用。 Lazio's thinking of "have" and "none" relationship has its own unique views. "Intangible" things can generate a great deal of effect, but people tend to pay attention to "visible" role. 他提倡人们应该注重“无”的使用价值,而不要过分追求“有”的物质实体。应该“少私寡欲”,对无穷的欲望予以节制。 He advocated that people should pay attention to “none" value, rather than over-the pursuit of "have" material entities. Should "private few desires," the desire to be of infinite restraint.
14. 5 、持而不有观 idea of use but not hold [ Prof. Liu Guanzhong ] [ Tsinghua University] / [Academy of Art&Design] / [China] 在生活方式上,道教追求节俭生活方式,极力反对奢侈浪费,并把节俭当作立身处世的法宝。这种思想与可持续发展所倡导的可持续的消费模式是完全一致的。 In the way of life, the Taoist pursuit thrifty way of life, strongly oppose extravagance and waste, and to conduct themselves in society as a thrifty magic weapon. This line of thinking and sustainable development advocated by the unsustainable consumption patterns are completely consistent.
15. 6 、开源节流观 idea of open source and save spending [ Prof. Liu Guanzhong ] [ Tsinghua University] / [Academy of Art&Design] / [China] “ 开源节流”的观念主张在开发自然资源的时候要合理适度,在使用自然资源的时候要节俭知足。 " open source and save spending " concept advocated in the development of natural resources must be reasonable when appropriate, use of natural resources when Contentment advocating frugality. 在顺应自然循环法则和维护和谐秩序的前提下利用自然资源,有一个自然界承受的客观极限,人应该适度开发。生态失衡会危害人类自身。 Conform to the natural cycle in the law and maintain order under the premise of a harmonious use of natural resources, has an objective nature, subject to the limit, people should be an appropriate development. Ecological imbalances are harm for mankind itself.
16. 6 、开源节流观 idea of open source and save spending [ Prof. Liu Guanzhong ] [ Tsinghua University] / [Academy of Art&Design] / [China] 古老雄伟、举世闻名的都江堰灌溉工程,是古代设计文明的重大成就。都江堰引水灌田,不但治理了洪涝灾害,而且促进了经济发展,润泽天府、为民造福。 Ancient majestic, world-famous Dujiangyan irrigation works, the design of ancient civilizations are the major achievements. Dujiangyan governance not only of floods, but also promoted economic development, enrich Tianfu, to benefit the people. 都江堰渠首以上地区处于崇山峻岭之中,降雨丰富,水源充足;在渠首以下地区为大片平原,便于灌溉,易于种植。这些让它成功的协调了上游水源和下游沟渠。 Dujiangyan Headwork region in high mountains, and abundant rainfall, water sufficient; in the following areas Headwork large plain, easy to irrigation and plant. These make it the success of the coordination of the upstream and downstream water drains.
