Abstract:

Abstract Seneca’s Letters sketch a theory of attentive action according to which distraction is caused by inconsistent beliefs about values, such that the degree of an agent’s attention to an endorsed action is proportionate to the consistency of her beliefs about value, i. e. her proximity to virtue. The agent’s activity of attentive action is co-ordinated with a state of alertness to her interests, which accordingly triggers switches in attention that sustain the endorsed action in single-minded agents or cause distraction if the new interest is irrelevant to it. Seneca’s theory reflects the older Stoic conception of the tensional mental strength of the virtuous agent, which Chrysippus identified as the causal factor over and above virtue that ensures her successful performance of right action.

Abstract:

Accompanying Keith Thomas's account of its defeat by scientific rationality, supernatural magic, which I designate magic1, receives scholarly attention denied the stigmatized magic2—stage magic and the “gulling” practices popularized by Tondon's con artists and pickpockets, who exploited distraction through sleights of hand, body, language, and thought. As Othello's paratheatrical “entertainment unconscious,” competing and collaborating with theater, magic2 informs the play's sensationalism, gull's gallery, source-tale revisions, and transformation of much traditional tragedy into a genre less about epistemology than about perception. Practicing early modern magicians' fundamentals—conveyance (legerdemain, misdirection) and confederacy—and exposing his own tricks, the entertainer-villain Iago's tactics and handkerchief prop illuminate phenomena such as “inattentional blindness,” important for cognitive psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, and performance. His “helpmeet” wife and apprentice Emilia emulates his misdirecting visual and conversational skills, until their team, echoing a celebrity magician-and-animal partnership, finally implodes. Situated between Montaigne's and Adorno's views on distraction, Othello transforms wonder from tragic affect into the capitalist distraction pleasure of a discursive entertainment revolution. Its hero-dupe himself adopts magic2 technology for a spectacular suicide—arguably the suicide of tragedy's tradition.

Abstract:

This case reports the intervention approach the first author adopted while working with a youth tennis player. The athlete held irrational beliefs and was struggling to maintain emotional control. The neophyte sport psychology practitioner adopted a cognitive-behavioral approach to practice. The intervention focused on (a) using rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) to replace unhelpful beliefs about unforced errors with a new rational philosophy and (b) using a distraction-control plan to restructure the player’s thoughts and beliefs in relation to opponents’ perceived gamesmanship. Intervention effectiveness was evaluated through qualitative data from the athlete and his parents and the reflections of the practitioner. Feedback suggests that REBT and distraction-control plans can be effective in helping youth athletes manage their thought patterns and improve emotional control during competition. This case also demonstrates the importance of practitioners’ having a flexible and adaptable approach to practice—one that meets individual client needs.

Abstract:

This article explores how the continuing development of occupational therapy has been fuelled by three essential elements: philosophy, theory and practice. It examines how the interplay between these elements maintains and drives the profession and discusses the part that individual therapists play in sustaining the progress of the whole. The profession is vulnerable. Philosophy, theory and practice are becoming disconnected, leading to dampening of energy and distraction from our professional purpose. Possible explanations are suggested, including internal factors, such as the widening split between academics and clinicians, and external factors, such as changes in health policy. Strengthening the links between philosophy, theory and practice will ensure that occupational therapy remains healthy and progressive. The article concludes with some practical recommendations about what can be done to bring the philosophers, theorists and practitioners together, to fire individual motivations and re-energise the profession.

Abstract:

In introducing the inspiration behind and aims of the new Rivista Italiana di Filosofia Politica (Italian Journal of Political Philosophy), launched by the Italian Society for Political Philosophy, this editorial explores the relationship between politics and philosophy. As does all philosophy, political philosophy arises from the desire to understand what is new and to question existing reality. Political philosophy is thus political in a twofold sense: on the one hand, it is an act of freedom vis-à-vis existing power or knowledge, and, on the other, it is an attempt to establish social relations based on discursive reasoning, and on open participatory mechanisms for decision-making. This dual political attitude is ever more vital in the face of challenges to contemporary societies, such as climate change, migratory movements, dramatic inequalities, and the apparatus of surveillance. Eschewing a philosophy of distraction and non-engagement, political philosophy (and this Journal) endorses the idea of another, “more civic”, philosophy, one which is committed to the opening of new spaces of personal and collective freedom. This Journal intends to nurture the dialogue between Italian and international philosophical-political communities, showing the richness of Italian discussion, and highlighting some of the most authoritative international scholars.

Abstract:

In introducing the project of the Rivista Italiana di Filosofia Politica (Italian Journal of Political Philosophy), launched by the Italian Society for Political Philosophy, this editorial explores the relationship between politics and philosophy. As with philosophy itself, political philosophy arises from the desire to understand what is new and to question existing reality. Political philosophy is thus political in a twofold sense: on the one hand, it is an act of freedom vis-à-vis existing power or knowledge, and, on the other, it is an attempt to establish social relations based on discursive rationality, and on open participatory mechanisms for decision-making. This dual political attitude is even more essential in the face of challenges to contemporary societies, such as climate change, migratory movements, dramatic inequalities, and the apparatus of surveillance. Avoiding the risk of a “philosophy of distraction or non-engagement”, political philosophy (and this Journal) endorses the idea of another, “more civic”, philosophy, one which is committed to the opening of new spaces of personal and collective freedom. This Journal intends to nurture the dialogue between Italian and international philosophical-political communities, showing the richness of Italian discussion, and highlighting some of the most authoritative international scholars.

Abstract:

This chapter raises a Paradox of Novels which is exactly analogous to the Paradox of Painting raised in Chapter One. This paradox is used to bring out the character of the currently dominant approaches to novels—those which appeal to make-believe or imagination (Walton or Stock, for example), those which take characters to be abstract objects (Salmon), and hybrid views (Kripke, Thomasson). The paradox is also shown to underlie the more familiar ‘Paradox of Fiction’. It is argued that the Non-Distraction Thesis holds for novels, just as it does for paintings and photographs, and the currently dominant approaches are found to be unable to respect that thesis. The roots of the problem are found in orthodox approaches to the philosophy of language, so the chapter prepares the way for a questioning of that orthodoxy.

Abstract:

This chapter presents Denis Diderot’s philosophy of the self in light of debates over the neuroscientific turn in historical research. Recent literature features an ideal of self-ownership that the history of philosophy shows to be radically contingent. Situating Diderot’s articles on dreaming and distraction in the Encyclopédie within the context of eighteenth-century theological and medical reflections on the self’s command over its ideas and actions, the chapter interrogates the relationship between science, philosophy, and religion. The dream state fascinated Diderot precisely because its structure and content allowed his contemporaries to reflect upon the fate of the human subject in a materially determined world.

Abstract:

Abstract The 925-year-old Oxford University shows us how universities must perform a dual role—one of transferring functional knowledge or technical skills, and another as seats of cultural learning. Education institutions must innovate on their roles as culture and values bearers for their societies. Unlearning through peer dialogue is critical in these times of rapid change. The transfer of cultural values is not merely about transmitting facts but also about emotion, intrigue, and rhetoric. Even as other technical disciplines are automated by technology, philosophy and ethics will remain domains for humans. Shaping the future society requires educating the workforce to reflect, think, value, reason, and learn. These are enduring human values that education institutes must continue to instil. How will universities innovate in this role?

Abstract:

Abstract Chapter 10 uses two well-known Catholic authors of the early sixteenth century, Erasmus and Thomas More, to characterize skeptical medieval attitudes toward markets, and then reviews ethical analyses that suggest that societies in the Netherlands and England were becoming more favorably inclined toward commerce during the seventeenth century. Two Dutchmen, Grotius and La Court, are reviewed, followed by two English theologians, Baxter and Barkley, and a well-known philosopher, John Locke. By 1700, it is clear that reservations about markets and hard work have been greatly diminished and that prosperity itself was increasingly regarded to be a blessing rather than a distraction or curse.

Abstract:

Mengzi presents us with a philosophical vision of the meaning of human life, but his aim was to get people to act effectively in making the world a better place. That needs not just philosophy but concrete advice and practical guidance. With their sophisticated understanding of self-cultivation and long experience promoting social change, the Confucians gained insight into the temptations and distractions good people face, and the ways people can be co-opted by a corrupt system. This chapter gathers advice from Mengzi and other Confucians on how to deal with six temptations facing those concerned about the state of the world: wealth, prestige, compromise (selling-out), blaming others, lack of hope, and settling for having done enough.

Abstract:

Attention is a fitting place to begin a study of sustainable cultural forms because these forms depend, first of all, on members who are attentive to perceive and participate in the ongoing patterns of their places. Berry’s poetry, though, reveals that attention can be a strange thing; as he attends to his place, he finds himself attended to. Our digitally networked culture undermines these reciprocal dynamics of sustaining attention. Although the health of our communities depends on attention, we often fall back on the easier habits of distraction and surveillance. Our web of screens surrounds us with mirrors that reflect back to us our own desires and preferences, in the process cutting us off from the complex realities of our places. Berry’s poems, in contrast, model forms of attention that remind readers they are not the organizing subjects of the world. They portray his place and its members as what the philosopher Jean-Luc Marion calls “saturated phenomena,” beings who exist beyond his capacity to see, and so there is always more to which he is obligated to bear witness.

Abstract:

As a first-year teacher, I sometimes felt that I was learning more than my students. I learned more about teaching and how people learn in my first year of teaching than I had in my five years of college education. Maybe that’s because some of my training at two different universities actually conflicted with OC philosophy. My training had taught me that my students really couldn’t learn unless I was in total control of my classroom, but the more control I used in my classroom, the less my students learned (and the less fun we all had). I remember giving a lesson that I thought went really well during my student teaching at another school. Later, an experienced teacher told me that I had not been strict enough in enforcing the classroom rules, because some of the students were reaching into their desks or fidgeting with things while I was up in front teaching. So I put into practice the “listening position,” an idea I had heard about in my management class. The “listening position” had four rules that every student had to follow while anyone was up in front of the class. First, everyone needed to be sitting flat on their bottom on their chair, with the chair on all four legs and under the desk as far as it would go. Second, the tops of the desks had to be completely clear, leaving no room for distractions. Third, everyone’s hands had to remain on the desk at all times. If a student needed an item in his desk (even a pencil or text book), he needed to raise his hand and ask permission. Fourth, all eyes had to be looking forward. A very natural way to learn, don’t you think? I am sure it felt more like being in a prison. The consequence for not being in “listening position” was getting your name on the board. As subsequent infractions occurred and checks were added to your name, things started to happen— phone calls to your parents, being removed from class, being taken to the principal’s office, and so on.
