Mental Symbols - A Defence of the Classical Theory of Mind (Hardcover, 1997 ed.): P. Novak Mental Symbols - A Defence of the Classical Theory of Mind (Hardcover, 1997 ed.)
P. Novak
R2,808 Discovery Miles 28 080 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Mental Symbols is an essay on mind and meaning, on the biological implementation of mental symbols, on the architecture of mind, and on the correct construal of logical properties and relations of symbols, including implication and inference. The book argues against the main contemporary trends in the cognitive sciences, preferring rather the classical early-modern tradition. The author looks at some logical paradoxes in the light of that tradition, and offers a novel answer to the problem of the biological implementation of the mind in the brain.

Arztliche Erkenntnis (German, Paperback): Klaus Jork, Wolfram Schuffel Arztliche Erkenntnis (German, Paperback)

Schritte arztlicher Erkenntnis und Entscheidungen werden dargestellt. Die Dar- stellungen entstammen dem allgemeinarztlichen, klinisch-ambulanten bzw. -sta- tionaren Bereich sowie dem Bereich zwischen Klinik und Praxis. Sie gehoeren dem Alltag an, wie er zwischen Hannover und Bern ablauft. Die Szenen sind nicht gestellt. Die Berechtigung, ein derartiges Buch herauszugeben, sehen die Herausgeber in ihrer eigenen Unzufriedenheit gegenuber der Entwicklung in der Medizin so- wie in der Kritik, welche in der OEffentlichkeit an dieser Medizin geubt wird. Eigene Unzufriedenheit wie oeffentlich geubte Kritik beziehen sich darauf, dass zum einen vielfach unreflektiert diagnostiziert und gehandelt wird, und dass Handlungsstrategien unkritisch ubernommen werden. Zu viel wird der einzelne Patient geroentgt, im Computertomogramm untersucht, biopsiert, mit Pharmaka behandelt und operiert, statt dass er eingehender mit dem Arzt sprechen kann. Zum anderen wird der einzelne Patient mit UEberweisungszetteln vom Allgemein- arzt zum Spezialisten, zum "Feindflug" geschickt und hier weitergereicht. Einer "Verzettelung der Verantwortung" durch problembezogenes interkollegiales Handeln ist oft schwer entgegenzuwirken. Daruber hinaus wird die Wissen- schaftlichkeit der angewandten Medizin, und hier v. a. in der ambulanten Kran- kenversorgung, in Frage gestellt. Die Folge ist, dass sich weite Bereiche der Me- dizin in einem standigen Abwehrkampf befinden. Fragwurdige UEberzeugungen werden vertreten: Wissenschaft sei nur in Klinik und Labor realisie'rbar; Wissen- schaft in der Praxis habe dagegen keine methodische Eigenstandigkeit. Als Folge dieser einseitigen Betrachtungsweisen werden wichtige politische Ent- scheidungen zur Wissenschaftspolitik getroffen, die bestehenden Verhaltnisse perpetuieren.
