Abstract:

In this book the authors offer their unique perspectives on the important roles Chinese students and intellectuals played in the shaping of the twentieth-century China. Their answers to these pivotal questions explore new nationalistic spirit, modern world-views, and willingness of self-sacrifice, which had attributed to the spontaneous actions of the students as a “New Culture” emerged during the May Fourth Movement. These articles show how China nurtured these spontaneous student movements, even though the Nationalist Party in the Republic of China and the Communist Party in the People’s Rep

Abstract:

Energy is the capacity to do work and heat is the spontaneous flow of energy from one body or system to another through the random movement of atoms or molecules. The entropy of a system determines how much of its internal energy is unavailable for work under isothermal conditions, and the Gibbs energy is the energy available for work under isothermal conditions and constant pressure. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that for any reaction to proceed spontaneously the total entropy (system plus surroundings) must increase, which is why metabolic processes release heat. All organisms are

Abstract:

In spinal cord injury, nerve transfers represent a potential adjunct in the comprehensive clinical management of patients. Unlike tendon transfers, nerve transfers preserve the native muscle biomechanics and provide greater than a 1:1 functional exchange. Nerve transfers can provide improved upper extremity function by capitalizing on the preserved upper motor neurons below the zone of spinal cord injury. One goal in reconstruction is to restore movement. Major movements that have been targeted for restoration include elbow extension (to allow the patient to assist in transfers) and pinch, gra

Chapter 7 discusses the implications that forms of vitality have for clinical theory and practice. It includes the roles played by vitality forms in psychotherapy – vitality forms and spontaneous talking, dynamic forms of vitality as paths to memory, vitality dynamics as a path to ‘reconstructed’ phenomenal experience, vitality forms and imagined movement, including verbal descriptions, vitality forms and the ‘local level’, vitality forms and intersubjectivity, vitality forms in identification, authenticity, and aliveness.

Abstract:

In this chapter, the author examines kinesthetic correspondence and matching in Contact Unwinding, a Shin Somatics dance process which employs movement-based teaching through touch and is performed in an improvisational dance context. Contact Unwinding invites the inner self to instinctively express itself outwardly in a spontaneous unfolding of intuitive movement or dance, and in the process interweaves dance and somatics, connecting us intimately with our moving or dancing body. The discussion draws on the author’s personal experiences as a somatic educator and as a mover, combined with refl

Abstract:

A comprehensive neurocognitive theory of dreaming based on the theories, methodologies, and findings of cognitive neuroscience and the psychological sciences. G. William Domhoff's neurocognitive theory of dreaming is the only theory of dreaming that makes full use of the new neuroimaging findings on all forms of spontaneous thought and shows how well they explain the results of rigorous quantitative studies of dream content. Domhoff identifies five separate issues—neural substrates, cognitive processes, the psychological meaning of dream content, evolutionarily adaptive functions, and historic

Abstract:

This chapter explores issues of diasporic Buddhist movement and cultural adaptation, as well as how individuals affiliate with Buddhist denominations in diverse settings worldwide. One of the enduring features of religion worldwide is mobility. Ideas, concepts, practices, prohibitions, and cosmologies circulate beyond cultural and political boundaries in ways ranging from intentional to spontaneous. The transregional and multicultural dimensions of Buddhism have been central to its history, institutional growth, and conceptual development, yet we also see specific ethnic versions of Buddhist p

Abstract:

Although mind-wandering has received increased attention in the field of cognitive neuroscience, definitions have not always aligned. Most have emphasized the contents of thought, treating it as synonymous with either task-unrelated thought or stimulus-independent thought. Such definitions miss an important aspect of what it means to let one’s mind wander: the easeful way that thoughts move about. A more recent definition looks, instead, at the dynamics of thought—the way that thoughts unfold over time—positioning mind-wandering as a type of spontaneous thought. By doing so, it is therefore mo

They became part of the independent publishing movement existing in the years 1976–1990, whose impressive development fell in the 1980s.

Abstract:

A Hermeneutics of Poetic Education: The Play of the In-Between explores the ways in which both play and poetry orient us toward what surpasses us. Catherine Homan develops an original account of poetic education that builds on Friedrich Hölderlin’s idea of poetry as a teacher of humanity. Whereas aesthetic education emphasizes judgments of taste and rational autonomy, poetic education foregrounds self-formation and openness to the other. Critically engaging the works of Eugen Fink, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Paul Celan, this book argues that poetry and play call for a particular stance in the wor

Feeling like doing something is not the same as deciding to do it. When you feel like doing something, you are still free to decide to do it or not. You are having an inclination to do it, but you are not thereby determined to do it. I call this the moment of drama. This book is about what you are faced with, in this moment. How should you relate to the inclinations you “have,” given that you are free to “act on” them or not? To answer this question, we need an account of what sort of thing we are relating to, in this moment. But here we find a genuine philosophical problem. Our inclinations a

Peripheral somatosensory afferents that contribute to the perception of sharp or aching pain, temperature, and itch are described. The properties of transient

This outline provides a framework for exploring how music and gesture are similar and for how they are different. These comparisons are made through analyses of the movements Fred

The chapter focuses on two periods of intercommunal conflict in which lynching and mob violence took place: the British Mandate period (1920-1948), and the period following the eruption of the first Palest

Abstract:

This book offers a detailed study of the political philosophies of Thomas Hobbes and Benedict de Spinoza, focussing on their concept of power as potentia, concrete power, rather than power as potestas, authorized power. The focus on power as potentia generates a new conception of popular power. Radical democrats—whether drawing on Hobbes’s ‘sleeping sovereign’ or on Spinoza’s ‘multitude’—understand popular power as something that transcends ordinary institutional politics, as, for instance, popular plebiscites or mass movements. However, the book argues that these understandings reflect a resi
