Abstract:

This essay argues that the material culture of the Renaissance garden played an important role in the development of Cartesian mathematical and mechanical philosophy. Garden machinery such as Salomon and Isaac de Caus's automata and grottoes provided a model from which Descartes drew his clockwork conceptions of nature and the human body. This machinery was also crucial in the Cartesian explanation of the rainbow. Not simply an exercise in intellectual curiosity, Descartes's geometrical description of the rainbow in Discourse Eight of the Météores was a direct response to the engineers of artificial rainbow fountains which populated European princely gardens for much of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Rejecting distinctions between ‘natural’ and ‘artificial’ rainbows, Descartes used these fountains and his own constructions of artificial water drops to discern the causes of the rainbow by refraction and reflection and, by analogy, to suppose this the explanation of rainbows in the sky. This knowledge was then utilized to propose an alternative to the rainbow fountain, using refracting liquids to cast images in the sky. Descartes presented a ‘science of miracles’ destined not to eradicate wonder but to make transparent the wonders of traditional garden engineers and replace them with wonders derived from knowledge of mathematical and mechanical philosophy. As such, the ‘science of miracles’ gave a new emphasis to the mind of the natural philosopher as the essential component in the creation of wonders, rather than the traditional skills and experience of the artisan or engineer.

Abstract:

With the growing importance of gastronomic science, gastronomic workshops are also playing an important role worldwide. These workshops do not only specialize in the preparation and presentation of healthy eating, sports nutrition, or special diets. Gastronomy experts and nutritionists are also turning to the cuisines of nations with increasing curiosity. In order to provide a comprehensive overview of this, we present the characteristics of French, Italian, Hungarian, Indian, and Chinese cuisine in our manuscript. In addition, we prepare and present dishes that also serve as the basis of gastronomic workshops in accordance with international cuisines. These dishes include: Croassant with almond plant-based drink; Home-made pizza with basil, tomatoes and mozzarella; Hungarian Bean Soup; Home-made kebab with spicy chicken; Chinese noodles. We hope to contribute to the knowledge of international gastronomy and to the global health development with the prepared food.

Abstract:

Ann Griffiths, an 18th-century farm wife and hymn writer, is well-known in her native Wales, though relatively unstudied in English. Even in translation her hymns and letters offer a strikingly beautiful as well as informative window into the Trinitarian spirituality of 18th-century Welsh Methodism. Historically, her Trinitarianism is notable in that it is largely assumed and primarily based in the economic Trinity, and yet, is nonetheless profound in its orthodoxy given the Trinitarian controversy of the long century prior. More than mere historical curiosity, however, Griffiths’s writing is particularly intriguing on two points that can edify the church today. First, she writes with considerable theological depth despite a lack of education, religious or otherwise, and second, her theology is both technically rich as well as profoundly devotional.

Abstract:

Since history, the issues about where people come from and where they are heading have always been a matter of curiosity. At this point, various ideas have been put forward about the nature of human being. In Antiquity, this situation manifested itself as an arche problem. The ultimate goal of man, who tries to find the first cause of existence, is to learn where his own existence comes from. Even in this period, people questioned the reason for their existence and where they came from. Discoveries and inventions, including the era in which humanity has come today, are perhaps the result of this curiosity. Man also wonders where his existence is heading. At this point, various human understandings emerge. In this study, we will try to reveal the place of Renê Guênon's holistic human understanding in the modern world. We will explain Guénon's critique of the modern world through modern human typology.

Abstract:

Movement can be a powerful force for sensory connection and expression in young children who sometimes don’t speak. Their kinaesthetic curiosity naturally experiments with—and forms spontaneous relationships through—touching, sensing, and moving-with the world around them. This article wonders what might happen if children’s connective movements are invited through the speculative method of contact improvisation, not as an alternative to speech or way of interpreting meaning, but simply as a space for the transmission of forces, sensations, intimacy, and reciprocity. I consider what these shared forces or sensations of expression are that generate intimacy, joy, and reciprocity beyond words.

Abstract:

“What a piece of work is a man!” William Shakespeare, Hamlet“To those of average curiosity about the wonders of nature, it is likely that two great mysteries have stirred the imagination; and each concerns a birth. Who has not gazed into the heavens on the starlit night and wondered about the birth of the universe? And who has not been stimulated by the sight of the newly born baby to the marvel at the unseen events within the mother’s uterus that have led to the birth of such a perfect creation?”(1) These words written by the Professor Sir Graham (Mont) Liggins open Pandora’s box of questions, dilemmas, doubts and controversies about human life and its beginning offering everybody lifelong challenge to solve mystery of life.Entering this filed scientists have been remiss in failing to translate science into the terms that allow mankind to share their excitement of discovering life before birth. Regardless to remarkable scientific development, curiosity, and speculations dating back to Hippocrates, life before birth still remains a big secret. Different kinds of intellectuals involved themselves trying to contribute to the solution of human life puzzle. They are led by the idea that each newborn child will only reach its full potential if its development in uterus is free from any adverse influence, providing the best possible environment for the embryo/foetus. Considering embryo/foetus, it should be always kept in mind amazing aspect of these parts of human life in which the mother and the embryo/foetus, although locked in the most intimate relationships, are at ALL TIMES two separate people. Accepting embryo/foetus as the person opened new set of questions about its personality and human rights. Today, synthesis between scientific data and hypotheses, philosophical thought, and issues in the humanities, has become pressing necessity in order to deal with ethical, juridical and social problems arising from man’s interference in many aspects and stages of life.

Abstract:

This research was conducted on the curiosity of researchers related to the difficulty of finding studies and discussions of fantasy literature subject. That's why researchers tried to start research to prove fantasy literature could be created from developing local myth, especially, studies related to it are rarely found. The method chosen here is a qualitative descriptive comparative literary approach using intertextual theory by comparing webtoon 7 Wonders that developed its setting on the basis of Nawang Wulan figure from folklor "The Legend of Jaka Tarub" with popular culture concepts such as "Lucifer the Fallen Angel" and "Nyi Roro Kidul". From the development was created a characterization setting. On the other hand, Omnicient Readers developed his work with the dokkaebi and Bihyeong figure of "Lady Dohwa and Banchelor Bihyeong" against the concept of post-apocalypse world, gods, and stream channel or network as target of creating a new world setting in the story. From the conclusions obtained in the result of two works, it can be known that myth such as folklore proved can be made as a reference to fantasy literature.

Abstract:

A first meeting with Alec Bangham would leave an impression of a larger-than-life scientist with a penetrating curiosity and formidable features characteristically portrayed in the dramatic portrait painted by his nephew, Humphrey Bangham, which currently hangs in one of the Royal Society’s rooms. Or, as Jeffrey Watkins (FRS) experienced on reaching the Institute of Animal Physiology at Babraham in September 1963, ‘at the moment of my arrival he was avidly peering down a microscope and excitedly proclaiming the wonders of myelin figures as viewed through crossed polaroids … [and that] they might prove useful as model systems for the study of structure and function in biological membranes. It was decided that I should work immediately along these lines.’ So what were the formative events that led to these first impressions? What had contributed to the formation of a scientist who became known worldwide as the father of liposomes, the inventor of Artificial Lung Expanding Compound (ALEC)—and someone who never stopped thinking about membranes, surfactant, anaesthetics, cricket, vegetables, family and friends?

Abstract:

AbstractFrom 8 February until at least 19 April 1686, the Dublin Philosophical Society was occupied with a prodigiously talented young girl whose name was never recorded. She was less than eleven years of age, but still much older than the society itself, which had begun meeting less than three years previously. Although one of many wonders engaging the curiosity of the nascent society, this girl served a surprising range of purposes, so that accompanying her anonymity was a curious malleability. Pressed into several different roles and identities, her exploitation affords a glimpse into the various qualities that could make a spectacle useful in a philosophical climate that was unique among the British Isles. The use of this girl therefore not only sheds light on the needs of a less familiar learned society, but also shows how these could differ from those of its better-understood counterparts. For a period of time, it was the versatility not of the gentlemen in Dublin, but of the prodigy they used, that best served this group on the periphery.

Abstract:

Wonders of the night sky developed curiously to the ancient civilization and paved way to the development of an oldest branch of knowledge, Astronomy. Today it has developed to be rich field in science. Astronomy is much different from many other science fields. ? It deals with remote subjects, unimaginable magnitude distances, sizes and time. The conventional optical telescope could not reveal vast majority of objects in the sky. Apart from light there are other invisible radiations reaching the Earth from the celestial objects. People started exploring both ends of the electromagnetic spectrum. Ever since World War II, astronomers are exploring the radio sky, by using Radio Telescopes. It became a new branch of study, the Radio Astronomy. Interesting fundamental discoveries and the inquisitive nature of the problems developed curiosity for future explorations in this field. The celestial radio signals reaching us are extremely week. It is required to develop sophisticated tools and powerful techniques to aid radio astronomy observations. Today Radio Astronomy has developed to be a highly interdisciplinary field with connections to various fields of science and engineering.

Abstract:

The article outlines methods for acquainting preschool children with STEM professions, portraying them as catalysts for fostering innovative thinking, cultivating resilience and adaptability, and sparking curiosity within a scientific realm — a core outcome of STEM education. The necessity to design exemplary game tasks of heightened quality is substantiated, as these tasks bridge the chasm between abstract concepts and a tangible grasp of the world’s intricacies. The article furnishes a slew of recommendations, functioning as guiding beacons for contemporary educators in game development. These guidelines ensure the eradication of bias, the removal of antiquated cognitive mechanisms, and the preservation of professionalism. Employing the correct game, enriched with novel information technologies, catalyzes the exploration of a child’s potential, their inherent capacities, and the cultivation of steadfast interests in future professional pursuits. Addressing gender equality is integral, shielding the child from an internal clash between antiquated “norms” and their personal aspirations when choosing a desired profession. In a bid to acquaint children with contemporary linguistic trends, emphasis is placed on language norms, mandating the incorporation of feminine forms as equivalent units alongside traditionally entrenched masculine forms. The article hones in on the engagement of STEM projects, particularly those dedicated to ongoing events, as a means to foster research and investigative skills. It prepares children for resolving complex scenarios, solidifying their comprehension of the conscious choices made by each specialist in their relentless pursuit of self-improvement and national enhancement. The relevance of studying STEM professions amid the backdrop of martial law as a restorative mechanism for the nation’s economy and the normalization of daily existence is substantiated. A step-by-step guide for the conceptual genesis of projects is meticulously crafted, along with fragments of scenarios addressing contentious aspects in war coverage. This coverage refrains from unnecessary veiling and silencing of reality, instead offering a transparent portrayal.

Abstract:

Representation of the East in 18th century western travel narratives was an outcome of a European aesthetic sensibility that thrived on imperial jingoism. The 18th century Indian travel writings proved that East could not be discredited as “exotic” and “orientalist” or its history be judged as a “discourse of curiosity”. The West had its share of mystery that had to be unravelled for the curious visitor from the East. Dean Mahomed’s The Travels of Dean Mahomed is a fascinating travelogue cum autobiography of an Indian immigrant as an insider and outsider in India, Ireland and England. I’tesamuddin’s The Wonders of Vilayet is a travel-memoir that addresses the politics of representation. These 18th century travelographies demystify “vilayet” in more ways than one. They analyse the West from a variety of tropes from gender, to religion and racism to otherness and identity. This paper attempts a comparative analyses of the two texts from the point of view of 18th century travel writing and representations through the idea of journey. It seeks to highlight the concept of “orientalism in reverse” and show how memoirs can be read as counterbalancing textual responses to counteract dominant western voices.

Abstract:

In August or September 1219 at the height of the Fifth Crusade, Francis ofAssisi audaciously set out to meet Sultan Malik al-Kâmil of Egypt. In SaintFrancis and the Sultan: The Curious History of a Christian–Muslim Encounter,historian John Tolan has produced a fascinating volume on this ratherstrange episode, an encounter that has captivated writers and painters for centuries.In an age when religion has lost much of its traditional power, however,the author wonders how much we can really know about the experience ofFrancis and al-Kâmil meeting each other “in a tent in an armed camp on thebanks of the Nile, during a truce in the midst of a bloody war” (p. 4). Insteadof trying to locate the real Francis and al-Kâmil in the fragments of history,Tolan asks why this particular has fascinated so many different artists. He answers,quite simply, that “for them, it was not merely a curiosity, or a footnoteto the history of a crusade which failed on the banks of the Nile. It was muchmore: an emblematic encounter or confrontation between East and West” (p.326). Whether it was seen as an encounter or a confrontation, in turn, depended in part on the historical, religious, and political context within which the givenartist was working. In this sense, the book reads more like a metahistory ofhow, why, and to what effect a particular historical episode has been depictedover the years.Given the focus on such a momentous encounter between East and West,Islam and Christianity, Muslim and Christian, as well as how it has been portrayedand understood, this book should be of particular interest to students ofChristian–Muslim relations and dialogue. It should also be of interest to peopleinterested in the construction of East/West and Muslim/Christian identity ...

Abstract:

The villas of Thessaloniki, examples of eclecticism, are architectural “wonders” situated in eastern Thessaloniki, in the district of “Exoches” or “Pyrgoi”, as it was called in the middle of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Casa Bianca is well known to the people of Thessaloniki, not only for its unique architecture, which is impressive since it creates an aesthetically pleasing result, but also for the story of romance that unfolded inside it. Casa Bianca shifted between various owners and uses. Starting as a house that was given as a wedding present to the newlywed couple Diaz, it was later used as a school, while today it is occupied by the Municipal Gallery of Thessaloniki. The present study aims to approach Casa Bianca, from the point of museum pedagogy with references to the factual history and the history of Art. That can be accomplished by designing an educational program which aims to introduce the young and the elder to the building, to its architecture as well as the choice of its eclectic style by the architect Pietro Arrigoni, the importance of this style in Thessaloniki of that period, the multicultural characteristics and its connection to the composition of the population of that time, the story of romance that monopolized the press at the time, the choice of architect and the various uses of the building up to this day. The educational program designed for Casa Bianca is in sync with the requirements of our time and for this reason it was decided that it would be designed and implemented online (distance learning), i.e. via computer. The website, that was designed exclusively for the Casa Bianca educational program, with the use of various types of media such as text, image, video and interactive games, seeks to stimulate the imagination and curiosity of users and to offer the maximum possible information through an experiential teaching approach and also through active learning.

This essay offers a reading of Heidegger's account of wonder and curiosity found in Basic Questions of Philosophy (1937-8) and attempts to show its continuity with the discussion of the now-centered ordinary conception of time in Being and Time (1927). Heidegger refutes the claim that one can still say that philosophy begins in wonder in an age that no longer understands what wonder means due to modern Da-sein's obsession with the new (curiosity). Since wonder is no longer a viable philosophical attunement, Heidegger outlines in Contributions to Philosophy (1936) a new attunement, a new key for philosophy: terror.

Abstract:

The dichotomy between advanced materials and brain has driven the curiosity of scientists to explore the wonders of the brain, as well as motivated the continued innovations of novel technologies based on advances in materials science and engineering to understand the brain. To improve treatments of brain-related diseases will require new tools and methods to map and to repair the brain with precision and biocompatibility. Current treatments of pain heavily rely on opioids, resulting in significant side effects such as addiction, tolerance, leading to the Opioid Overdose Crisis as we know of today. Smart drug delivery systems may provide an effective solution. Here I present the development of polymer-based externally-triggerable drug delivery systems for on-demand, repeatable and adjustable local anesthesia, where the timing, duration, and intensity of nerve block can be controlled through external energy triggers such as light. In addition to the new pharmacological approaches, bioelectronic platforms to enhance our insights into the eye and will also be discussed. The restoration of light response with complex spatiotemporal features in retinal degenerative diseases towards retinal prosthesis has proven to be a considerable challenge over the past decades. Herein, inspired by the structure and function of photoreceptors in retinas, I develop artificial retina based on gold nanoparticle-decorated titania nanowire arrays, for restoration of visual responses in the blind mice with degenerated photoreceptors. Green, blue and near UV light responses in the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are restored with a spatial resolution better than 100 µm. ON responses in RGCs are blocked by glutamatergic antagonists, suggesting functional preservation of the remaining retinal circuits. Moreover, neurons in the primary visual cortex respond to light after subretinal implant of nanowire arrays. Improvement in pupillary light reflex suggests the behavioral recovery of light sensitivity. My study will shed light on the development of a new generation of optoelectronic toolkits for subretinal prosthetic devices. Through pharmacological, optical, and electrical toolsets, I aim to develop effective therapeutic solutions to neurological disease states. These results, along with a discussion of future neural interfaces, aim to improve our understanding of the nervous system and to inform new therapeutic approaches for biomaterials and bioelectronics.

Abstract:

through virtues of thought. Through our actions and attitudes toward scholarly work and through the academic expectations we place upon our students, we represent and convey certain beliefs about the ethics of teaching and learning One of the most valuable intellectual capacities we can foster in our students is the art of being curious. As a state of inquisitive attention to the world, curiosity embodies both intellectual and moral virtues. By drawing on the medieval monastic unity of intellectual and moral life, traditional religious practices such as hospitality, obedience, and charity can be applied to academic work. By cultivating students' intellectual curiosity, we encourage in them a more balanced set of scholarly skills and attitudes, and we help them to grow in wisdom, kindness, and generosity.

Abstract:

Abstract This article discusses how the term ‘curiosity’ emerged as a leading element in the development of the action performance research project Microgravity. The focus is on the effect of curiosity as an activator of movement in a participatory performance in which participants are invited to explore new bodily conditions for the first time (in this case, reduced gravity through a vertical dance technique). I begin with an account of what vertical dance is, its origin, and my personal experience as a vertical dancer. Through the connection between vertical dance and space exploration and an encounter with the terms ‘awe’ and ‘wonder’ (in connection to space travel), I move on to pedagogical and creative decisions regarding ways to create a participatory performance that, due to its complete physical involvement of participants, I now refer to as an ‘action performance’. I will elaborate on the creative partners who joined the research and the interplay of curiosity and humility in relation to the terms ‘awe’ and ‘wonder’ based on the book A Neurophenomenology of Awe and Wonder (Gallagher et al. 2015), which was the initial inspiration for the use of these terms and the establishment of the imaginary universe of Microgravity. I will also employ my own interpretation of these terms as a researcher, drawing on first-hand participatory experiments and data gathered from participants between 2019 and 2022.

Abstract:

Abstract Situated at the intersection of postcolonialism and affect studies, this essay explores the significance of wonder in Hanya Yanagihara's The People in the Trees (2013). In her novel, Yanagihara provides a detailed account of an anthropological expedition to the remote Micronesian island of Ivu'ivu, where a “lost tribe” is rumored to be living. As is typical of such discovery narratives, the affective response of wonder initially dominates the discourse. Over time, however, this sense of wonder is transformed into the more durable feeling of curiosity, which in turn initiates a dialectical interplay of opposites—bringing together the familiar and the strange, the legible and the opaque, the boring and the fascinating. Although the narrator, Norton Perina, does everything he can to sustain this dialectic, the attenuated form of wonder that drives his curiosity eventually dissipates, giving rise to a debilitating sense of apathy and indifference. This is a process that occurs not once but three times within the narrative—under quite different circumstances in each case. In the first instance, the trajectory belongs to the category of the ethnographic; in the second, it acquires a broader postcolonial significance; and finally, in the novel's tragic conclusion, readers are exposed to its potential psychological consequences, as a displaced sense of “wonder” resurfaces in the pathological form of a pedophilic encounter.

Abstract:

Beginning with Jacques Derrida’s Beast and the Sovereign, I identify two forms of curiosity: 1) scientific curiosity, which proceeds through objective dissection and 2) therapeutic curiosity, which proceeds through observational confinement. Through an analysis of Derrida’s treatment of both sorts of curiosity, I notice and develop a third, deconstructive form of curiosity. Through repeated turn to the work of Sarah Kofman, I characterize this third curiosity as, by turns, linguistic, animal, and critical. As linguistic, this curiosity is a penchant for wordplay and a keenness for the unsteady reservoirs of signification, resisting any clean dissection of meaning or the confinement of terms. As animal, it tracks a scent, regularly suspending its paw, as if to emphasize the meandering and precarious quality of knowledge. And as critical, it combats the illusions of pure revelation and instead draws attention to the conjuring trick, the systematic substitution of signs, undergirding it. Finally, I consider in what way Derrida’s resistance to philosophy may be read on the grounds not of a singular wonder but of multiple curiosities.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper explores the concept of 'playables,' defined as tangible objects intentionally designed for immersive play, distinct from traditional utilitarian objects. It delves into how playables, unlike everyday items, transcend functionality, fostering creativity and curiosity in immersive play. It explores how playables differ from acknowledged design principles, drawing upon Dieter Rams and Don Norman. By recognizing the need for distinct design perspectives for playables, the paper contributes to unlocking their potential to enable wonder in immersive play experiences.

Abstract:

The spirit of inquiry within research, which encourages curiosity and wonder, is a promising approach to information literacy instruction. This sort of commitment to wonder and the spirit of inquiry also has a lot of theological promise and potential. As we participate in the formation of present and future faith leaders, promoting the value of wonder and the spirit of inquiry cannot be overstated as an invaluable skill. We also must remain reflective, humble, and imitative in our practice. The author presents this approach in a very compelling, approachable way, and this resource is a very succinct introduction or reminder. Librarians who are engaged in teaching research will likely find this approach promising and provocative.

Abstract:

Science employs wonder and its associated emotions to explore unknown mysteries in the pursuit of knowledge about the natural world. Discovering scientific truth may inspire awe—a transcendent, indescribable experience of enhanced awareness and astonishment at the extensive interconnectedness of reality. The emotion of awe expands human consciousness and also mediates possible spiritual encounters with the Divine. Prompted by wonder and curiosity, scientific studies of the human mind and cognition yield insights that contribute to artificial intelligence research, especially the potential development of conscious artificial general intelligence. Yet, emerging artificial intelligence technologies raise religious and sociological questions about consciousness, personhood, and whether conscious artificial general intelligence is capable of expressing wonder and experiencing awe of the Divine.

Abstract:

The main goal of the actor is to preserve the artistic value of the production on stage and play the role assigned to him. He must convey this task through a stage image, using his acting techniques, the richness of language. While preserving the language culture, it is advisable to use the techniques of stage language in the implementation of the task of preserving the language of students. The attitude of people in society to culture and education is becoming more and more complex. In modern society, a new era is coming, characterized by character. The breath of the new time destroys the price of the main values. We are increasingly moving away from our language, traditions, culture, imitating other countries. When to comprehend the wonders of the Kazakh language through art and increase its price... Any profession, especially related to art, requires talent, curiosity, and an abundance of creative opportunities. In this regard, the main goal facing the hordes of art of the XXI century is to attract efforts for the development of cognitive activity and creative abilities through in-depth training in new requirements.The methods of teaching stage language are directly related to literature. In classical works that have reached the world level, the dignity of the word is clearly traced. In the course of the article, it was proposed to take as a basis all the data related to the stage language, and the functions that actors perform on the way to the correct formation of speech technique were determined. Melody, voice exercises, tone of voice, tempo, pause, prose works, poetry, monologues, etc. the techniques of stage language revealed the play of the hero on stage, investigated the connection of the word with its function of correct transmission of a specific text. It was noted that the specifics of the actors’ voices change through communication with the characters on stage. The article attaches great importance to the fact that an actor must be competent in mastering the stage language and apply theoretical knowledge together with practice. The techniques of mastering the technique of speech of characters playing in performances of all genres are described. The main weapon of an actor on stage is language, communication with the audience is carried out only through language, an actor needs to be able to create images using the purity of language, show all its features, transform and convey individually. It was investigated that all the techniques used by the actor have a special place.Observing the purity of the Kazakh language in all spheres, we improve the language culture and preserve national qualities. The Kazakh language has never lost its value. Our literature and culture can be called proof of this. The colorfulness of our language is not comparable to the language of any deep country. Therefore, if people of art observe the laws and rules of the Kazakh language and correctly convey them to the viewer, then the future generation will be especially respectful of their native language.
