"Tell my story" - The human compulsion to narrate by Stephen Greenblatt

source: Videnskabernes Selskab     2014年6月2日
Stephen Greenblatt is one of the world's leading literary theorists and Shakespeare scholars. He is often regarded as the main founder of New Historicism, a term he first used in his 1982 introduction to The Power of Forms in the English Renaissance; he himself has referred to New Historicism as 'cultural poetics'. The approach has been one of the most influential strands of literary criticism over the last decades and has had an immense impact on English literary history. Greenblatt has published widely on literary theory and within the fields of cultural, Renaissance and Shakespeare studies. His 2004 biography of Shakespeare, Will in the World: how Shakespeare became Shakespeare, was on the New York Times Best Seller List for nine weeks, and he has won several prestigious prizes and awards, among them the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction.

Ah, romantic love; beautiful and intoxicating, heart-breaking and soul-crushing... often all at the same time! If romantic love has a purpose, neither science nor psychology has discovered it yet – but over the course of history, some of our most respected philosophers have put forward some intriguing theories. Skye C. Cleary outlines five of these philosophical perspectives on why we love.

Introduction to Formal Logic by Mark Thorsby

# automatic playing for the 38 videos (click the up-left corner for the list)

source: Mark Thorsby   上次更新日期：2016年1月25日
This course introduces viewers to an introduction to formal symbolic logic. We cover the basics of argumentation, categorical logic, propositional logic, propositional proofs (natural deduction), and predicate logic.
Philosopher John Locke once wrote that "logic is the anatomy of thought." This course follows along that vein of thought in that this course will teach students to analyze and evaluate arguments using the formal techniques of modern symbolic logic.
In our everyday lives, we are confronted with an enormous amount of challenges that require an acute ability to quickly interpret, evaluate, and synthesize information and arguments.
Whether watching television, reading the political punditry of a local newspaper, listening to the well intentioned ideas of a family member, or by being presented with a series of radical ideas by a professor - people everywhere are vying for your opinion and consent and they do so through argumentation.
Some of the arguments we are presented with in life are strong, others are weak, and many are flatly false. The aim of this course is to give students the tool set necessary for diagnosing what is and is not trustworthy within the terrain of reasonable thought.
Like a physician trained in the art of human anatomy, the logician holds the confidence and ability to break apart arguments and peer beneath the ruse of rhetorical device in search of truth.
This course sets students upon a path of finely honed critical skills essential for life in the modern world.
