Raising Expectations: Making Sense, Not Money
Get PDFMaking sense is the topic of this essay, and it is tackled in a series of sublating contexts. It begins with reflections on the context of a simple family business that makes sense and that calls for its members to continue to create sense. Questions emerge in that making of sense that lift the group beyond its own comfortable context, so that the issue of making sense places this group and all global sub-groups in the fuller problematic of making over-all sense of our living in history. Issues of leisure and expectations are raised in a manner that point to the need for global collaboration
The Beauty is…Tracking physical affirmations of love
Get PDFOften, new researchers will undertake their first data collection research project solely as a means to study the art of research without any regard for personal connection, growth, or emotional catharsis. Certainly, that was the case when this researcher initially approached personal data collection simply as an arduous course requirement for a first year PhD course. However, through the journey of collecting, analyzing, and artfully representing, she discovered the poignantly ethereal voice of personal data collection through visual and aural representation. Given the reflective and personal nature of this data collection project the researcher used journaling, poetic inquiry (Faulkner 2018), aspects of narrative inquiry, as well as art-based visual data, all under the umbrella of auto-ethnography (Adams 2018). It also seemed appropriate that its artistic depiction should be an aural soundtrack depicted through music wholly representing personal everyday while demonstrating how collection and research can be personal, fulfilling, poignant, artistic, and fun
The Eclectic System in Cousin and Schelling
No full textOn 29 June 1832, Victor Cousin announced to F.W.J. Schelling, “In a few days, I will send you a new edition of my Fragments with an introduction that speaks much of you. It is one of the most important things I have written and I recommend it to your attention.” Cousin’s reference is to the new Preface written for the second edition of his Fragments philosophiques, which Schelling did indeed receive a year later. On 23 August 1833, Schelling responds: "I received with great pleasure and read with great interest the second edition of your Fragments philosophiques, evident proof of the fact that your political career has not taken you from science. Your friendship for me cannot be doubted from the Preface; I am thinking of giving an extract of it and a critique of the scientific part in a literary journal published here."This promise of “a critique” was fulfilled in a notice Schelling published initially in the Bayer’schen Annalen in 1833 and subsequently, in revised form, as the Preface to the 1834 German translation of Cousin’s second-edition Prefac —“your preface to my preface,” as Cousin dubbed it. In 1835, it was translated into French, twice: initially by Félix Ravaisson and then by Joseph Willm. It was to become Schelling’s most significant publication during the final four decades of his life and, indeed, Schelling himself writes to Cousin of his apprehension and “repugnance at having to explain myself on so many very significant philosophical issues after having kept silent so long.
