The symposium was arranged with the purpose of cutting across some of the lines dividing various disciplines all having a common interest in different aspects of the functioning of the brain. The essays, given originally as lectures at one of the Jubilee celebrations of the University of Saskatchewan, were deliberately designed to be of interest to laymen concerned with the problem of education as well as to academics dealing daily with products of the brain's activity in teaching and learning. One of the main themes of the book is that the human brain has far greater potentialities than our present methods of education are exploiting; another is that, although our universities can be said to owe their very existence to the multiplex activities of the human mind, the subject of how the brain functions and the application of even our rather meagre knowledge of this field to the sphere of teaching and learning remains greatly neglected in university programmes. The subject of brain function, studied daily by the neurologist and neuro-surgeon, should gain the interest of non-medical fields concerned with utilizing the mechanism of the mind.

Kirche ist in ihrem Handeln konstitutiv auf Öffentlichkeit bezogen. Was bedeutet das angesichts der gegenwärtig stattfindenden medialen Transformationsprozesse? Als Kulturwandel stellt die Digitalisierung öffentliche religiöse Kommunikation vor neue Herausforderungen. Das zeigen unter anderem die hier vorgelegten Untersuchungen zu Formen und Foren symbolischen Sinndeutungshandelns online anlässlich der Debatte um die gesetzliche Neuregelung der Sterbehilfe in Deutschland. Im Zentrum der Studie steht das Interesse, den Gedanken eines reflexiv gestalteten Pluralismus als Leitidee (volks-)kirchlichen kommunikativen Handelns unter den Bedingungen der Emergenz interaktions- und partizipationsorientierter Öffentlichkeiten neu zu plausibilisieren. Understanding the relationship between church and the public today demands reflection on the transformation processes unleashed by modern media. This study explores how changes in communicative behavior have shaped public discourse and the genesis of social formations. The empirical part of the study on online religious communication underscores a required activity in today's church life.

Not simply as an object but rather as an immersive agency in which nature, knowledge, technique merge. The transcendence of the actual and the virtual into a "third" element is construed and analyzed in this book through conceptual schemes that rely on a post-binary or non-binary understanding of coincidences, triangulations, hybrids, or post-human combinatorics. What is ultimately explored is how transcendence is ejected from strictly theological, philosophical, or scientific groundings and emerges as a germinating point of becoming (something else). Each of the contributions in this book addresses - through its own peculiar perspective, method and experimental style - a new way to approach the role of transcendence in socio-cultural life.In the Occidental history of ideas, the notion of transcendence has received at least three canonical articulations that are challenged by this book: religious (Judeo-Christian traditions), philosophical (Platonic-intellectual universality of ideas), and scientific (the objective and technological turn of knowledge). Nonetheless, it is with the rise of cybernetics, with its digital and virtual modalities of systems, networks, and knowledge, that our human environment emerges as a source of knowledge in itself --. Hephaestus Reloaded / Efesto Reloaded, presented in a bilingual (English/Italian) publication, and whose five authors are from Greece, Italy, and the US, invokes as its first inspiration the myth of Hephaestus who embodied a twofold entity: both disabled and technically capacious. The myth of Hephaestus has been passed across the centuries as an ancient metaphor signifying the idea of becoming-world, in which any distinction between the natural and the artificial, or the organic and the technical, is blurred. Human beings, by virtue of their physical vulnerabilities and limits, have enhanced their technological powers to the point of transcending their own given nature. At present, a variety of critical discourses in disciplines such as philosophy, history, aesthetics, and cognitive sciences pay attention to our becoming-hybrid (organic and mechanical beings) - unleashing a space for research that probes the concept of transcendence.-.
