ARTICLES RELATED TO essences

essences: Encyclopedia - Amulet

An amulet (from Latin amuletum; earliest extant use in Natural History [Pliny], meaning "an object that protects a person from trouble") or a talisman (from Arabic tilasm, ultimately from Greek telesma or from the Greek word "talein" which means "to initiate into the mysteries.") consists of any object intended to bring good luck and/or protection to its owner. Potential amulets include: gems or simple stones, statues, coins, drawings, pendants, rings, plants, animals, etc.; even words said in certain occas ...

essences: Encyclopedia - Chrism

Chrism (Greek word literally meaning "an anointing"), also called "Holy Oil," or "Consecrated Oil," is a consecrated oil used in the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches in the administration of certain sacraments and ecclesiastical functions. Although typically not called Chrism today, pure or scented olive oil used by other Christian denominations have been called Chrism in the past. This includes oil used by Protestants and Restorationists in some forms of Baptism, Confirmation, Anointing of the Sick and Feet washing. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Mormons, Chrism was historic ...

essences: Encyclopedia - Phenomenology

Phenomenology is a current in philosophy that takes the intuitive experience of phenomena (what presents itself to us in conscious experience) as its starting point and tries to extract the essential features of experiences and the essence of what we experience. It stems from the School of Brentano and was mostly based on the work of the 20th century philosopher Edmund Husserl, and was developed further by philosophers such as Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Max Scheler, Hannah Arendt, and Emmanuel Levinas. As such, phenomeno ...

essences: Encyclopedia II - Orthogenesis - Collapse of the hypothesis

The orthogenesis hypothesis began to collapse when it became clear that it could not explain the patterns found by paleontologists in the fossil record, which was non-linear with many complications. The hypothesis was generally abandoned when no mechanism could be found that would account for the process, and the theory of evolution by natural selection became the prevailing theory of evolution. The modern evolutionary synthesis, in which the genetic mechanisms of evolution were discovered, refuted the hypothesis for good. As more was unders ...

essences: Encyclopedia II - Greek philosophy - Pre-Socratic Philosophers

The history of philosophy in the West begins with the Greeks, and particularly with a group of philosophers commonly called the pre-Socratics. This is not to deny the occurrence of other pre-philosophical rumblings in Egyptian and Babylonian cultures. Certainly great thinkers and writers existed in each of these cultures, and we have evidence that some of the earliest Greek philosophers may have had contact with at least some of the products of Egyptian and Babylonian thought. However, the early Greek thinkers add at least one element which ...

essences: Encyclopedia II - Micro-encapsulation - Techniques to Manufacture Microcapsules

Micro-encapsulation - Physical Methods. The pan coating process, widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, is among the oldest industrial procedures for forming small, coated particles or tablets. The particles are tumbled in a pan or other device while the coating material is applied slowly. Air-suspension coating of particles by solutions or melts gives better control and flexibility. The particles are coated while suspended in an upward-moving air stream. They are supported by a perfor ...

essences: Encyclopedia II - Chrism - Roman Catholicism

Chrism is essential for the Catholic sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation/Chrismation, and Holy Orders. In baptism, if the person baptized is not to be immediately confirmed or chrismated, the minister anoints them with chrism. Those to be confirmed or chrismated, after receiving the laying on of hands, are anointed on the head by the bishop or priest. Newly ordained priests are annointed with chrism on the palms of their hands, and newly ordained bishops receive an anointing of chrism on their foreheads. It is also used in the consecration of objects suc ...

Edmund Husserl - Husserl's studies and early works. Husserl initially studied mathematics at the universities of Leipzig (1876) and Berlin (1878), under Karl Weierstrass and Leopold Kronecker.

essences: Encyclopedia II - Platonic epistemology - An example: love and wisdom

A good example of how Plato viewed the acquiring of knowledge is contained in his teachings of the Ladder of Love. In Symposium (210a-211b) a "lover" is defined as someone who loves and to love is defined as a desire for something that one does not have. According to this ladder model of love, a lover progresses from rung to rung from the basest love to the pure form of love as follows: A beautiful body - The lover begins here at the most obvious form of love. All beautiful bodies - If the lo ...

essences: Encyclopedia II - Phenomenology - Existential phenomenology

Existential phenomenology differs from transcendental phenomenology by its rejection of the transcendental ego. Merleau-Ponty objects to the ego's transcendence of the world, which for Husserl leaves the world spread out and completely transparent before the conscious. Heidegger thinks of conscious being as always and already in the world. Transcendence is maintained in existential phenomenology to the extent that the method of phenomenology must take a presuppositionless starting point - transcending claims about the world arising from, for example, natural or scientific at ...

essences: Encyclopedia II - Amulet - Amulets and talismans in folklore

Amulets vary considerably according to their time and place of origin. Nevertheless, religious objects commonly serve as amulets in different societies, be these the figure of a god or simply some symbol representing the deity (such as the cross for Christians or the "eye of Horus" for the ancient Egyptians). Even today in Thailand one can commonly see people with more than one Buddha hanging from their necks; in Bolivia and some places in Argentina the god Ekeko furnishes a standard amulet, to whom one shoul ...

essences: Encyclopedia II - History of socialism - Socialism in China Since the Cultural Revolution

In 1965, Wenyuan wrote a thinly veiled attack on the deputy mayor of Beijing, Wu Han. Over the six months that followed, on behalf of ideological purity, Mao and his supporters purged many public figures, Liu Shao-chi among them. By the middle of 1966, Mao had not only put himself back into the center of things, he had initiated what is known as the Cultural Revolution, a mass (and army-supported) action again ...

essences: Encyclopedia II - History of socialism - The Crisis of Socialism

Socialism as a self-conscious international movement has been in crisis since the demise of the Soviet Union because many people of socialist persuasion are more uncertain than ever before about their constituency -- whether the proletariat as described in traditonal Marxist terms, or the peasantry in traditional Maoist terms, is the or even a plausible candidate for a revolutionary class, or who else might supersede those candidates. Leo Panitch, for example, in Renewing Socialism (2001) wrote that it was wrong of Marx to cont ...

essences: Encyclopedia II - History of socialism - Third World Socialism

During hundreds of years America was "the new world", and naturally, Europe became "the old world". Both the old and the new world became industrialized and rich. The term "the third world" has been used for much of the world outside the industrialized and rich western world, but especially for nations which are not industrialized at all. The meaning of "the third world" has changed a lot over the last 40 years, and the concept is probably antiquated, as most of the really poor countries have evolved very much when it comes to ...

History of socialism - The radicalization of psychoanalysis. On May 31, 1960, Norman O. Brown lectured at Columbia University about “Apocalypse: The Place of Mystery in the Life of the Mind.” He said that mind, understood as rationality, was "at the end of its tether," (a phrase he adapted from H.G. Wells) and that the way out was also the way down, into madness and its esoteric wisdom. This was a key moment in the infusion of Freudianism into left-wing thought, ...

essences: Encyclopedia II - Platonic epistemology - The divided line

Plato, in The Republic Book VI (509d-513e), uses the literary device of a divided line to teach his basic views about four levels of existence (especially "the intelligible" world of the forms, universals, and "the visible" world we see around us) and the corresponding ways we come to know what exists. The divided line has two parts that represent the intelligible world and the smaller visible world. Each of those two parts is divided, the segments within the intelligible world represent higher and lower forms and the segments within ...

essences: Encyclopedia II - Micro-encapsulation - Release Methods and Patterns

Even when the aim of a microencapsulation application is the isolation of the core from its surrounding, the wall must be ruptured at the time of use. Many walls are ruptured easily by pressure or shear stress, as in the case of breaking dye particles during writing to form a copy. Capsule contents may be released by melting the wall, or dissolving it under particular conditions, as in the case of an enteric drug coating. In other systems, the wall is broken by solvent action, e ...

essences: Encyclopedia II - Phenomenology - Husserl and the origin of Phenomenology

Husserl derived many important concepts that are central to phenomenology from the works and lectures of his teachers, the philosophers and psychologists Franz Brentano and Carl Stumpf. An important element of phenomenology that Husserl borrowed from Brentano was intentionality, the notion that the main characteristic of consciousness is that it is always intentional. Intentionality, which could be summarised as "aboutness", describes the relationship between mental acts and the external world. Every mental phenomenon or psychological ...

essences: Encyclopedia II - Phenomenology - Historical overview of the use of the term

While the term "phenomenology" was used several times in the history of philosophy before Husserl, modern use ties it more explicitly to his particular method. Friedrich Christoph Oetinger (German pietist) for the study of the "divine system of relations" Johann Heinrich Lambert (mathematician, physician and philosopher) for the theory of appearances underlying empirical knowledge. Immanuel Kant used it in a similar vein. Hegel can be considered one of the precursors to phenomenology, due to his Phe ...
