Condition: new. Pages: 457 Language: English. The diametric model of the mind and of mental illness is based on Hans Asperger's depiction of autism as a deficit condition where our ability to understand other people's behaviour in terms of intention, emotion, and meaning, is concerned: what it calls mentalism. According to the model, psychosis is a state of hyper-mentalism in which intention metastasizes into paranoia, emotion into mania, and meaning into delusions of all kinds. The most important insight of the diametric model is that perceived reality is complex in the sense in which complex numbers are: comprising a real part based in the physical world of cause and effect but also an imaginary part in a mind which has free will. The book develops this model of the mind by showing how it resolves most of the paradoxes of IQ and AI, along with giving a unique insight into modern society. It then goes on to give an up-to-date account of the imprinted brain theory which provides its neuroscientific basis and argues that literacy and fiction in particular plays a key role.Finally, the diametric model is presented as a new paradigm for psychiatry, psychology, and the social sciences.Vaimu ja vaimsete häirete diameetriline mudel põhineb Austria pediaatri Hans Aspergeri (1906-1980) autismikirjeldusel, mille järgi autism on seisund, milles teiste isikute käitumise mõistmise võime kavatsuste, emotsioonide ja tähenduste seisukohast on puudulik. Seda mõistmise võimet kutsub diameetriline mudel mentalismiks. Diameetrilise mudeli järgi kujutab psühhootiline häire enesest ülemääraselt kõrgendatud mentalismi, mis avaldub hüper-mentalismis kui kavatsuste taju muutub paranoiaks, emotsioon maaniaks ja tähenduste mõistmine kõikvõimalike pettekujutluste tajumiseks.Diameetrilise mudeli kõige suurem avastus on, et tajutav maailm on kompleksne samas tähenduses kui komplekssed arvud, millel on erinevates süsteemides erinev väärtus - see koosneb reaalsest osast, mis põhineb füüsilise maailma põhjuse ja tagajärje seosel, kuid samuti imaginaarsel osal vaimus, millel on vaba tahe.Raamatus käsitletakse diameetrilise vaimu mudelit näidates kuidas see lahendab enamiku vaimse võimekuse ja tehisintellektiga seotud paradoksidest ning annab ka unikaalse arusaamise tänapäeva ühiskonnast. Seejärel esitab raamat ajakohastatud ülevaate vermitud aju teooriast, mis on selle mudeli neuroteaduslik alus ja väidab, et kirjaoskus ja eriti kirjandus mängivad mentalistliku eneseteadvuse kujunemisel peamist rolli.Viimaks esitletakse diameetrilist mudelit kui psühhiaatria, psühholoogia ja sotsiaalteaduste uut paradigmat. 9789985588666.

Condition: new. Pages: 100 Language: English. State Archives of Assyria Studies. Volume XXIV The Adapa myth is a literary work of ancient Mesopotamia with different versions in Sumerian and Akkadian. According to the Adapa myth, the sage and cook from Eridu goes fishing to the Persian Gulf, where the South Wind capsizes his boat. The sage's curse breaks the wing of the South Wind. Adapa lies seven days in the ocean, whence he is summoned to heaven, to be positively judged by the sky god Anu. The present book investigates the literary development of the Adapa myth and argues that it represents an exorcistic version of the flood story with the protagonist as priest. In the Adapa myth, the primordial sage survives the flood, which serves as ideological background for exorcism, ashiputu. The exorcist, who used fire and water as sanitizing substances during the rituals, impersonated Adapa, who had gone through an extreme form of purification himself. Adapa's critical period in the sea was the symbolic etiology for illnesses, difficult births, witchcraft, bad omens, sin, and imprisonment, which the exorcist was able to counter. The deluge was a symbol of water ordeal and judgment, for which the exorcist's assistance was sought. Because Adapa was given rebirth from his disaster, the human exorcist as his embodiment possessed the powers of the flood in manipulating the purifying substances and incantations against all misfortune. The identity constituting narrative of ancient Mesopotamian exorcism is explored with a methodology combining the intertextual studies with cognitive neuroscience. 9789521094910.
