The Psychoanalysis of 1984 The social structure of George Orwell’s 1984 is based on Freud’s map of the mind and the struggles between the id, the ego and the super ego. The minds of these individuals living in this society are trained to think a certain way. Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis can be applied to Orwell’s 1984. Using Freud’s psychoanalytic approach, 1984’s main character Winston Smith is portrayed as the one who goes against the ideas of the Party. In a Freudian point of view, Winston’s

René Descartes was a French mathematician, scientist, and philosopher of the 16th Century, who, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, “was one of the first to abandon scholastic Aristotelianism and created the first version of the modern mind-body dualism or emotion” (Encyclopedia Britannica). Born on March 31, 1596, he was dubbed as the Father of Modern Philosophy. His theory on the mind-body dualism, also known as Cartesian Dualism, created a stem of the modern problem of the relationship between

instrumentalism which is characteristic of our era, is in fact integral to the very existence, survival, and indeed consciousness of not humankind, but the whole of socio-sentient life. Johnstone, too, argues his point against the devaluation of rhetoric as a discipline, even though his claim runs counter to that of Kennedy: rhetoric, he says, “is the evocation and maintenance of the consciousness required for communication,” a property unique to human beings (21). It would be folly, according to Johnstone

Our FME business started off with five people and eventually grew to fifteen, which was a big change for all of us. Along with the change in numbers, we also had to execute the idea that we originally had and make it a reality. This meant deciding an organizational structure and delegating work and the only way the company would function well would be if everybody did their part properly. I got the part of CEO, which meant I had to make sure that every department was doing their part. Additionally

Eshleman’s poem, “The Power Room”, in his book, Juniper Fuse, is a walking poem travelling in and out of nature, and in and out of the mind, suspending itself in a moment (a moment Eshleman discusses within the introduction of Juniper Fuse) of elevated consciousness or the act of becoming more self-conscious (xvii). The poem begins with acknowledging the “spiritum” of the path. This is a reference made to the spirits of those whom inhabited the land prior to the speaker’s arrival. In Gary Snyder’s essay, “The

primarily meant to convey his belief that Socrates’ importance cannot be overstated (Most). For Hegel, Socrates not only introduced the world to philosophy, but also brought about the advent of a type of consciousness formerly absent from the world. Hegel refers to this as “subjective consciousness”, which enabled individuals to critically examine the world around them and look within, as oppose to the external, to determine morality. Socrates introduced the world to this concept by deliberately engaging

Exploring the possibilities of discovering the neural correlates of visual consciousness In the ongoing strive to better understand the mechanism of consciousness, the possibility of discovering the neural correlates of consciousness (NCCs) is arguably the leading agenda in its scientific research. Although the question of whether consciousness can be fully reduced to its neural correlates remains debatable, it is still credible that whenever an appropriate brain process occurs, the associated subjective

Introduction I will be arguing that the essential component of personal identity is the not the vehicle of consciousness, but rather the collection of experiences, personality traits, and ethical beliefs, individual hold. I will show that though the vehicle of consciousness may be a substantial visual and sentimental sense of the self, it is not as necessary experiences and personality traits to the extent of personal identity being present and maintained through space and time.

“Our life and death are the same thing. When we realize this fact, we have no fear of death anymore, nor actual difficulty in our life,” said Suzuki (Suzuki, Part II, pg 92). This quote by Suzuki, suggests that our society has thanatophobia (fear of death and dying). Why are we so terrified of dying? We often see people contributing to senseless life styles simply because they are too afraid to die to their insignificant selves. We constantly partake in unhealthy actions simply because we fail to
