Finally, Raud approaches these concepts through the analysis of various metaphysical discourses used to articulate them. The purpose of this talk is to demonstrate a possibility of a comparative analysis. This is the fifth installment in the “TUJ Philosophy Lecture Series”.

In explaining the most basic concepts, Yuho Kirchner offers an analysis of the formula known as the Three Marks of Existence. These three features that characterize all phenomena are known as dukkha (suffering), anitya (impermanence), and anatman the Non-Self. Kirchner considers these concepts have been more often than not misunderstood by western audiences. Therefore, he argues that if properly analyzed they are not to be taken as negative formulations; instead, they offer a very rich and positive source of understanding of the human condition. This, of course, comes with important implications for spiritual practice. This is the fourth installment in the “TUJ Philosophy Lecture Series”.

Il s'agit donc de changer de terrain, ou de chemin... L'auteur s'appuie sur le kâta japonais qui forme la base des techniques de soi et façonne la pensée et les pratiques sociétales : une alternative crédible à la pensée-monde occidentale aujourd'hui dans l'impasse.

Thomas Martin’s collection of essays, both satirical and pointed, are gathered from his dissident campus newsletter The Examined Life, founded with the purpose of critiquing the life of the secular university at the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK).
The Medieval foundations of the university much preceded today’s universities which, by becoming secular, have cut off their roots. Although created as one body which recognizes and accepts man’s natural rights aimed at the common good, it has become a multi-bodied, ever progressive, forward-looking creation, bound to the beat of the ideology that there is no enemy other than the man who is not open to everything. It is important to remember that word “university” houses an idea that comes from the Latin universum, which in turn grew from the neuter of universus, the base from which the word ‘universe’ evolved, meaning the whole body of things and phenomena observed or postulated. A university, therefore, allows for the democracy of the dead rather than merely the oligarchy of the living who just happen to be walking around. When our intellectual ancestors are given an equal voice in the formation of the minds of students, those students have the potential to be moved by principles, be virtuous and maybe, even be wise.
Also available in e-book format for Apple and Kindle.

Il s'agit d'une confrontation nouvelle entre le métaphysicien qu'est aussi Kant et le logicien Lesniewski. Cet ouvrage montre, nous l'espérons, que la partie métaphysique de ce projet peut être réalisée.

A closer look at Japan’s long philosophical tradition draws attention to the presence of uniquely designed acculturation and training techniques designed as kata or shikata (型 or 仕形), shedding light on kata as a generic technique of self-perfection and self-transformation. By seeing kata as foundational to the Japanese mind and comparing it to Michel Foucault’s research on technologies of the self, the groundwork is laid for a comparative analysis in terms of the principle of ἐπιμελείσθαι σαυτού (taking care of oneself ), an ethical and aesthetic paradigm dating back to European antiquity. Not only does this bring to light their similarities as techniques of individuation, it also reinforces the importance of Watsuji’s relational understanding of human being.

Furthermore it offers new arguments in support of Foucault's account on the expansion of Bentham's Panopticon scheme as universal model of modern day democratic institutions. Therefore the purpose of this paper is to (c) shed new light on the various ways the deployment of new technologies reinforces the Panopticon model; and (d) analyze the effects produced by the emerging modes of surveillance that empower various new mechanisms of domination and control of individuals. This research paper seeks to (e) examine to what extent technology influences the course of our social, political and behavioral changes; and propose a framework for (f) evaluation and transformation of democratic institutions and practices that rely on the use of modern communication tools and technologies. Our cities have become a new kind of technologically driven Panopticon and this model has achieved perfection as increasingly fragmented, disseminated and ubiquitous device of power and dominance.

The Medieval foundations of the university much preceded today’s universities which, by becoming secular, have cut off their roots. Although created as one body which recognizes and accepts man’s natural rights aimed at the common good, it has become a multi-bodied, ever progressive, forward-looking creation, bound to the beat of the ideology that there is no enemy other than the man who is not open to everything. It is important to remember that word “university” houses an idea that comes from the Latin universum, which in turn grew from the neuter of universus, the base from which the word ‘universe’ evolved, meaning the whole body of things and phenomena observed or postulated. A university, therefore, allows for the democracy of the dead rather than merely the oligarchy of the living who just happen to be walking around.

Moreover, non-standard philosophy tries to establish what will serve as an underlying principle of democracy in thought. Philosophy re-produces and reasserts itself through the production of knowledge, feeding on its own self-sufficiency while non-standard philosophy tries to liberate knowledge by using its generic potential so that new forms of thought and knowledge can emerge. Philosophy defines, confines, and shapes subjects and objects, non-standard philosophy tries to use the available knowledge in a way that eludes known philosophical constraints. There can not be real democracy without first and foremost instituting a democracy in thought, and this is where non-standard philosophy will be used to provide a future platform and methodology grounded in genericity of knowledge and immanence rather than traditional metaphysics. We need a novel path of least philosophical resistance if we are to achieve these goals.
