The Organism
No full textGoldstein, Kurt. The Organism: A Holistic Approach to Biology Derived from Pathological Data in Man. 1939
In this remarkable book by one of the great psychologists and neurologists of the early twentieth century, Kurt Goldstein presents a summation of his “holistic” theory of the human organism. In the course of his studies on brain-damaged soldiers during the First World War, Goldstein became aware of the failure of contemporary biology and medicine to genuinely understand both the impact of such injuries and the astonishing adjustments that patients made to them.
The book was first published under the title Der Aufbau des Organismus: Einführung in die Biologie unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Erfahrungen am kranken Menschen, in 1934 and with only minor revisions in English translation in 1939.
After the rise of Hitler, Goldstein escaped to Amsterdam, supported by The Rockefeller Foundation, where he dictated his work, which would become his magnum opus, in just six weeks. Goldstein described the work being written while in a time of enforced leisure in the Netherlands during his flight from Nazi Germany.https://digitalcommons.rockefeller.edu/jason-brown-library/1073/thumbnail.jp
Tribute to Joseph Goldstein
No full textLet me begin by quoting from a recently discovered letter that my dad wrote to his father, while serving as a lieutenant in the army in occupied Japan. It was 1946 and he was twenty-two years old. Here, already, he is refusing to acquiesce to social conventions-as if they were somehow eternal truths. I quote: "There are so many things that I want to do, so many important things I want to read. I want to work with and for minority groups that must be educated to demand what are their natural rights. I might find that working up within the ranks of a labor union might be my method. One thing I do knowthat I enjoy myself most when I am working to better the lot of people that haven't found our democracy real.... You may feel that this so called idealism will wear off. Honestly I don't think it ever will or can for each day I realize how much there is that must be done." Later in the letter, he goes on to urge his father, who is in real estate, to "build some comfortable low cost housing units, with the proviso that Negro families and white will be able to participate as tenants.
Fiction as Philosophy
No full textPhilosophy tries to discover Truth, but more often than not it tells stories, relying on allegories, parables, and dialogues at key moments. What happens when a professional philosopher decides to embrace this method, and how does it affect the philosophy at the core of the story? Join WHY? as we interview Rebecca Goldstein, author of such novels as 36 Arguments for the Existence of God, The Mind-Body Problem, Mazel, and Strange Attractors. How do truth and fiction relate? How does one move back and forth from scholarly research to popular fiction, and, most of all, how does fiction relate to discovery?
Rebecca Goldstein has taught at Barnard and Trinity Colleges, and Rutgers, Columbia, Brandeis, and Harvard University. She is the author of numerous scholarly articles, two non-fiction books on Gödel and Spinoza, seven novels, and numerous short stories. She has been a MacArthur Fellow.
Why’s host Jack Russell Weinstein says, “I am tremendously impressed by how Rebecca straddles the literary and philosophical world. I think few philosophers today have her capacity to go so deep into the rabbit hole, and I’m anxiously awaiting the opportunity to go in there with her.”https://commons.und.edu/why-radio-archive/1115/thumbnail.jp
