ENG 378 (Fall 2013): Aspects of Postmodernism
01/07/2014: These video lectures supplemented my Fall 2013 course at the University of Rhode Island, ENG 378: Aspects of Postmodernism. During the semester we read six "postmodern" novels as well as chapters from Jacques Derrida's /Of Grammatology/. Because Derrida's work was a more daunting reading task than our novels, I decided to supplement our readings and discussions with these lectures in order to give students (especially those unfamiliar with continental philosophy or literary theory) a few in-roads to an otherwise overwhelming book.
The six novels we also studied were:
1). B.S. Johnson's /Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry/
2). Paula Fox's /Desperate Characters/
3). Carole Maso's /The Art Lover/
4). David Mitchell's /Cloud Atlas/
5). China Miéville's /The City & The City/
6). Sheila Heti's /How Should a Person Be?/

Marvin Minsky - Does Human Consciousness Have Special Purpose?
source: Closer To Truth 2016年1月26日
Scientists say our consciousness is the product of our brains, with purposes set by evolutionary fitness. Theologians believe our consciousness reflects the God who created it, with majestic purpose of eternal life. Mystics hold my consciousness is a drop in the ocean of cosmic consciousness, with cycles and return. For sure, consciousness is a test case.
