The New Psychology of Depression by Mark Williams and Danny Penman (2011, U of Oxford)

# click the up-left corner to select videos from the playlist

source: Open Education and Culture    2014年6月15日
We live in a world filled with material wealth, live longer and healthier lives, and yet anxiety, stress, unhappiness, and depression have never been more common. What are the driving forces behind these interlinked global epidemics? In this series, Professor Mark Williams (Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow at Oxford University) and Dr Danny Penman discuss the recent scientific advances that have radically altered our understanding of depression and related disorders. Also discussed is the latest treatments and therapies that are offering hope to those suffering from depression. Professor Williams co-developed Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), a treatment for anxiety, stress and depression that is at least as effective as drugs at preventing new episodes of depression. It's now one of the preferred treatments for depression recommended by the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. The same technique, based upon an ancient form of meditation, can also help us cope more effectively with the relentless demands of our increasingly frantic world. Professor Williams and Dr Penman co-authored the bestselling book Mindfulness: Finding Peace in a Frantic World.

SOC 341 - Contemporary Sociology Theory (Middle East Technical University)
For Lecture Notes: http://ocw.metu.edu.tr/course/view.ph...
OpenCourseWare: [ http://ocw.metu.edu.tr ]
Youtube Channel: [ http://www.youtube.com/METUOpenCourse... ]
This course is intended to help the Sociology 3rd grade students who are expected to have an adequate knowledge on the early, classical and mainstream sociological theory to develop a thorough familiarity with the contemporary postmodern thinking. Therefore, the students should be clear about the fact that it is not intended either to offer a full coverage of the recent sociological theory or to follow a chronological approach.
Rather, the aim is to discuss some of the cons and pros of postmodern thinking around a certain thematic.
For this purpose, the course starts with an examination of earlier theoretico-philosophical approaches that were seen to be cornerstones in the Western thinking and paved the way for the later development toward postmodernism.
Then, the attention shifts to the rise of structuralism and its development towards post-structuralism.
Finally, following a discussion of postmodern thinking we will make a detour via Heidegger’s contributions, connecting the whole bunch with thinking of Derrida and Laclau.

This course was held at the Universität Heidelberg in the summer term 2016 by Prof. Fred Hamprecht. It covers the foundation of image analysis methods such as the Fourier representation, characterization of linear filters, separability and steerability of filters, wavelets, etc. It then moves on to the currently hot topic of neural networks. This course introduces multi-layer perceptrons and how to train them, convolutional neural networks, the recently discovered tricks that allow the training of deep networks, and advanced architectures.

Avital Ronell. Arendt's acceptance of the Lessing Prize. 2016

source: European Graduate School Video Lectures   2017年2月7日
http://www.egs.edu Avital Ronell, Jacques Derrida Chair and Professor of Philosophy at The European Graduate School / EGS. Saas Fee, Switzerland August 10 2016.
Her research and theoretical contributions extend across the fields of literary studies, philosophy, feminist theory, technology and media, psychoanalysis, deconstruction, ethics, and performance art.
Born in Prague to Israeli diplomats, Ronell emigrated to New York in 1956. She completed a Bachelor of Arts at Middlebury College, and then went on to study with Jacob Taubes and Hans-Georg Gadamer at the Hermeneutics Institute at the Freie Universität Berlin. Ronell returned to the United States and continued her studies at Princeton University, where, under the supervision of Stanley Corngold and with a thesis entitled The Figure of Poetry: Self-reflection in Goethe, Hölderlin, and Kafka, she received a PhD in Germanic languages and literature, in 1979. After completing her doctorate, Avital Ronell moved to Paris in order to study directly with Jacques Derrida and Hélène Cixous. After her years of study in Paris, she assumed a number of professorships at various universities in the United States, including the University of Virginia, the University of California, Riverside, and the University of California, Berkeley. In 1995, she returned to New York to assume her post at New York University. Avital Ronell has been the recipient of a number of prestigious awards and fellowships, including: Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung Fellowship (1981–1983), American Cultures Fellowship (1991), Research Fellow Award (1993), and the University of California’s President’s Fellowship (1995–1996). Further, she has served as chair of the Division of Philosophy and Literature and chair of the Division of Comparative Literature at the Modern Language Association, from 1993 to 1996.

In 2009, the Centre Pompidou invited her to hold a series of conference performances with artists and philosophers such as Pierre Alferi, Werner Herzog, Judith Butler, Laurence Rickels, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Suzanne Doppelt, among others. The project went under the title: Selon… Avital Ronell (According to… Avital Ronell).
In October 2015, Ronell was presented with the prestigious insignia of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Minister of Culture.
As one of the first English translators of Jacques Derrida’s work, Avital Ronell is widely credited as one of the primary figures introducing his work to English speaking audiences—and American academia more specifically. While Derrida is certainly the over-whelming influence on Ronell’s work, she is in constant dialogue with a number of philosophers and theorists, including Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, Emmanuel Levinas, or Maurice Blanchot, to name but a few. While her work is often considered as deconstructive, Derridean, Heideggerian, post-feminist, post-structuralist, or psychoanalytic, Ronell’s thinking and writing works beyond these labels remaining utterly singular and thoroughly transgressive.
Among Avital Ronell’s significant works are: Dictations: On Haunted Writing (1986), Crack Wars: Literature, Addiction, Mania (1992), Stupidity (2001), The Test Drive (2005), The ÜberReader: Selected Works of Avital Ronell (ed. Diane Davis, 2007), Fighting Theory (with Anne Dufourmantelle, trans. Catherine Porter, 2010), Schriften zur Literatur: Essays von Goethe bis Kafka (trans. Marc Blankenburg, 2012), and Loser Sons: Politics and Authority (2012).

Economics for Everyone with Katie Ghose

Economics for Everyone with Katie Ghose. The vote to leave the EU exposed the poor quality of public debate about complex issues in the UK, and demonstrated the need for a rethink of the way we engage citizens in economics. Katie Ghose explores how we can improve the quality of public discussion about the economy – and, in doing so, change economics itself for the better.

Antinomies of Space & Time - May Sinclair

source: Philosophical Overdose    2017年1月13日
May Sinclair was a famous British writer who wrote on many topics, including philosophy. In her philosophical works, she defended a kind of idealism which was waning in influence at the time, after previously being dominant in the 19th century. In any case, I put this up just to introduce you to some of her philosophical thought, and also because I find such logical paradoxes about space and time quite fascinating.
This is a section from May Sinclair book "The New Idealism" from LibriVox.
