- Gardner Murphy
Gardner Murphy 1895 1979 was an American psychologist specialising in social and personality psychology, and parapsychology. His career highlights included serving as president of the American Psychological Association , and of the British Society for Psychical Research . Murphy was born on July 8, 1895 in Chillicothe, Ohio, US. Upon graduating with a B.A. from Yale University in 1916, Murphy attended Harvard University, working with Leonard T. Troland L. T. Troland in a telepathy experiment, and achieving his M.A. in 1917. Murphy succeeded Troland as holder of the Hodgson Fellowship in Psychical Research at Harvard University. After the war, in 1919, Murphy continued his studies at Columbia University, working towards his Ph.D., and combined this, until it was awarded in 1923, with work under the Hodgson Fellowship. This included sittings with the medium Leonora Piper Leonore Piper , and collaborating with French chemist and psychical researcher Ren Warcollier in a transatlantic telepathy experiment. The latter involved 35 trials, conducted over the course of two years, with groups in Paris and New York alternating the roles of sender and percipient. From 1921 1925, he served as lecturer in psychology at Columbia University. In 1925, Clark University hosted a symposium on psychical research, and, together with Harvard psychologist William McDougall , Murphy argued for the respect of the field as an academic discipline, while recognizing the difficulties of scientific acceptance and experimentation. From 1925 1929, he continued at Columbia University in the capacity of instructor and assistant professor in psychology. He was re appointed as Hodgson Fellow at Harvard in 1937. From 1940 1942 he was professor and chairman of the Department of Psychology at City College of New York City College in New York. From 1952, he worked as director of research for the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, Kansas. He was elected to the presidency of the American Psychological Associat ... more details

- Neural correlate
Unreferenced date July 2008 A neural correlate of a content of experience is any bodily component, such as an electro neuro biological state or the state assumed by some biophysics biophysical subsystem of the brain, whose presence necessarily and regularly correlates with such a specific content of experience . When the full ontology ontological consistence or build up of the reality variably called mind , soul , Psyche psychology psyche , or existentiality is called consciousness and deemed to exclusively consist in mental contents associated with and at least partly generated by the Human brain brain organ, the notion of neural correlates of consciousness neural correlate of consciousness is commonly employed. When it is only the sensations that are held to be produced by brain states, whether exclusively or not e.g. , when sensations are also deemed capable of being generated by the mind reacting against itself , then the notion of neural correlate of a content of experience is commonly utilized. A mid way concept, not always clarified, is that of a neural correlate encompassing the production of every mental content but not of consciousness itself. Conceptual frameworks using the notion The notion of a neural correlate of a mental state is an important concept for materialists , those philosophers and researchers who believe that all mental states are equivalent to brain states. According to strict materialists , all properties credited to the mind , including consciousness , emotion , beliefs , and motivation desires have direct neural correlates. This is also a pragmatic view adopted by a number of scholars. This view frequently depends on considering mind s exclusively as sentient knots in nature s causal net. Instead, other neuroscientists find minds inaugurating Causality causal actions in nature, rather than solely being able of merely continuing previously initiated causal sequences. These neuroscientists thus describe minds as percipient agencies, the m ... more details

- History of aesthetics before the 20th century
One source date December 2010 See Talk Aesthetics 1911 Britannica as a starting point discuss Talk Aesthetics . This description of the history of aesthetics before the twentieth century is based on an article from the Encyclop dia Britannica Eleventh Edition . Greek Speculations Ancient Greece supplies us with the first important contributions to aesthetic theory, though these are scarcely, in quality or in quantity, what one might have expected from a people which had so high an appreciation of beauty and so strong a bent for philosophic speculation. The first Greek thinker of whose views on the subject we really know something is Socrates . We learn from Xenophon s account of him that he regarded the beautiful as coincident with the good, and both of them are resolvable into the useful. Every beautiful object is so called because it serves some rational end, whether the security or the gratification of man. Socrates appears to have attached little importance to the immediate gratification which a beautiful object affords to perception and contemplation, but to have emphasized rather its power of furthering the more necessary ends of life. The really valuable point in his doctrine is the relativity of beauty. Unlike Plato , he recognized no self beauty auto to kalon existing absolutely and out of all relation to a percipient mind. Plato Of the views of Plato on the subject, it is hardly less difficult to gain a clear conception from the Dialogues , than it is in the case of ethical good. In some of these, various definitions of the beautiful are rejected as inadequate by the Platonic Socrates. At the same time we may conclude that Plato s mind leaned decidedly to the conception of an absolute beauty, which took its place in his scheme of ideas or self existing forms. This true beauty is nothing discoverable as an attribute in another thing, for these are only beautiful things, not the beautiful itself. Love Eros love Eros produces aspiration towards this pure idea ... more details
