Hey!
First i should say that is a great blog post! I
have the same question you mentioned in this post, and i am very agree with
what you said in the end "At the same time... truth would be what most
people could agree on." What is the truth of the object? but does it
matter in sometimes? That make me relate to one thing which called
"myth" in the second theme. Why the myth can be widely accepted for
people in that time? Does it really tell the truth? No, but it gave a
reasonable explanation for that people in that time. People will afraid the
things they don't know, sometimes they just need a rule that they can accepted
within their cognitive range to follow for live. That is what i think, thank
you again for you great post :)
Hey,
Great post i should say, i have the same feelings
like you, before the seminar, i am not sure what i thought is right or wrong
from the reading of the two writings even i am not sure if i pick all the
things after seminar, at least one thing can be sure is i have clearly
understanding of plato and kant's theories via the seminar and also read your
posts :) I like you words "Objecivity is not objectivity in itself since
we have created the term and definition, but we can still call it objectivity
since we have decided on it’s meaning". Cause we are not god, we don't
know what the real of objects, but we perceive through our eyes and ears and
connect to ours prior and posterior knowledge.
“The
meaning of world is depended on us. There is not such a world independent of
us”. I read three times of your post, great! I am also agree that sentences
above, what the world is, it is just ourselves world. It give me a deep
impression with the"mechanical world" you wrote in your post.
Very
interesting(english version haha)! I agree all you wrote in your post, like what
i comment in other student posts, i believe the world is just depending on
ourselves, we perceive the world with our own way and accept it in the range of
what we can understand is, just to make we can live easier. Everyone's world is
different, that make the world more interesting :)
haha, you have same
feeling as me, i never have a philosophy course before and i am sure i am not
good at for that:) But yours blogposts like a second teacher which i can fetch
up things i missed from the course. Your post make me feel comfortable, i also
agree all of you said. For what you said in the end, i suggest you can see the
posts in group one, cause we also discussed in that part with an example for
baby, maybe you can get the answer in those posts:)
Wow, i
could say...you post is absolutely different with other posts i read, i mean
you gave your post in a simply way but with all truth and i like it. I also
have big trouble for this course, i means difficult to understand what the
authors really want to explain espically for students like me who use english
as the second language, it really spent me a hard time to understand it. But,
it worth! Espically in the seminar we talked and discussed with different
students also read different student's post, that give me a new understanding
for what i learnt in the course. The meaning of this course now emerge in my
mind, we will use a different view and more opening-mind to treat our rest
life. Thank you so much for you post~!
Hej,
I am very happy to see you post, well done! For
you analysis and reflection of both texts i could see you are really spent a
huge time to think about what kant and plato's theories meaning, espically in
kant's part after prepering two group's seminar that give me a new
understanding for this theme1. I agree all you wrote in this post. Well done
again, 加油 :)
Interesting
explaination of the subject, i agree what you said. I should say thank you for
you that you give the example in your group's seminar, the white wall and
table, these examples can directly reflect what kant's opinions. Ours world is
just what we see and feel, is just ours own world.
Hej, you
post is good and easy to read, i like it. As you said, we can never see and
know the completely object in the world cause our prior knowledge limited. But
the world i think, sometime is enough that you just accept it in your
acceptable range. You perceive the world is the world your perceived. You gave
a good explaination for the primary qualities and the second qualities, those
are not mentioned in my group, i was just learnt them from you.
Hej, very
brief and clear post, very interesting thing is that you connect other courses
knowledge in you theme summary. I think this will be more meaningful for us to
connect all we learnt from the study, very smart.
Theme two
Hey,
Well, i could say you post is the best what i
comments other posts in this seminar. I mean, you make a very completely and
detialed explaination about the concepts of nominalism and super/substructure.
Reading you post makes my thought rearranging and organization in my mind which
are piecemeal and scattered in my mind before.
What attracted me is you mentioned that
"Nominalism is a way for fascism to have a status quo". There is no
any human rights under this polices, human could be controlled since we are not
know what the truth will be. We stopped thinking and questioning in that
status, and it will be danger cause nothing could be any changed anymore.
I also agree with you description of Benjamin's
thought about superstructure and substructure. In general they can influenced
each other, but for the change of superstructure need a long times
accumulations which can complete overthrow of the existing concepts of people,
or could say the time changing, which like you told society can determined the
culture is right or not. I am very agree for that point.
The part which you wrote about Benjam and Andoro's
viewing about ordinary people is very interesting, and also the example of aure
in the end. In short, you have a well done job. Thanks for sharing you post:)
Hi, it seems that you
have a deep understanding of this theme we learned in this week, espically you
explained the difference between nominalism and realism with the interesting
example of cave, that helped me tp understand their difference in an easy way,
very good job of you post. I also have the same point view of you, we should
not use a nominalism view to observe the world,cause nothing will be changed
and nothing will be improved in the world like you saithe rich are still rich..
You also have a good explaination about the aura
in you discussion of the similarities between enlightenment and mass media, we
are already for that, some aura lost during historical development is
unstoppable, but it will also bring a new definition in this model society.
Hi, good explaination
of you post, i agree all you said in you post, we can’t explain things if we
can’t observe but if we base everything on observations we will never get a new
aswering, our we will never find the truth of the objects, the development of
human society is not only because we obeserving the surrounding but also depend
on we questioning everything in the world. Very vivid metaphor that we will be
a slave if we only perceiving the world based on observations. "Culture is
always changing" in different times, the concepts of superstructure and
substructure are different, in today, the developing of internet and social
media makes our can control all the things happened in the world, we will
easily connect with our family and friends in everytime and have more fun in
our life, but it also bring many negative impacts. However, superstructure need
a time to change its concepts, everything will always comes to a good way i
think, thanks again for you wonderful post.
Hi, i
really enjoy the process to read you blog, you always have a very inovative
insight which makes me to rethink my thought each time. I think you have a good
discussion about media production, i can feel what you want to show me in your
blog, keep going:)
You give a very interesting
post with powerful explaination, i have more understanding about the different
and relationship between nominalism and realism you wrote in you post, i am now
without any puzzled in this part, thank you very much. The discussion of
natural and historical perception is also interesting to read.
Hi,
I agree what you told in your post, yes, sometimes
it is not a bad thing even the aura of one art was disappeared, they intergate
into the crowd with a more public way, like you said that everyone can own and
admire them rather than the preprogative only the rich or royal can do. That is
one positive of sub/superstructure changed accoridng to times. You also related
to what you learned in this week to your previously study which i think is a
good way can helpful to understand the centrel idea throughout the whole
curriculum. Nicw work!
Hi,
It seems that nominalisum and realism is the one
of the important topics in each group which is hard to understanding at first.
Glad to see you have a good understanding after course. It is very interesting
that you use the pink color example to explain the universals and nominalism.
Good job!
Hej,
You present Benjamin's and Adorno &
Horkheimer's views in a clearly way that can see you have a good understanding
in this theme. However, benjamin expressed an endorsed view of the emergence
and development of camera and film, even some of his arguments shows negative
message.
I also agree what you said that "there is not
good art" anymore, the value of an art will depending on the time it
exist. Whatever, nice work!
Excellent
post work! I can see you had a great understanding of the two text and covered
most of the points at the course. You write in a very detailed way for what
teachers show our in the course, one thing interested me is that you mentioned
the horse "always hold one leg on the ground while running". Didn't
it reflect that human perceiving the world sometimes is not the truth due to
our current knowledgement? You also have a good explaination of nominalism
linked to you text. Keep up, i am enjoy in it.
Once
again, short post but contains many emphasis, you point of "enlightenment
becomes negation of enlightenment itself" fascinated me. The aim of
enlightenment is tring to reduce unknown mimesis, however, sometime it seems
that we make a counterproductive. For that reason i also agree what Adorno and
Horkheimer's idea that we are human and only human producted by natural, we can
not know the real of the objects, all we do is just like a mimesis. But it
means not useless for that, cause we are gradually approaching to the truth via
endless questioning and experiment even the opinion in the start is a myth.
However we still need myth even in such a highly civilized society in today.
The thing which is very impressed me that you use
the crystals from natural and artificial in order to discuss the aure. I think
that is very novel and i agree what you say.
Nice work, keep on!
Theme
three
Hi,
I like to read you paper and i all agree you said
in your paper, what is the theory, what is the truth of theory? We actually
even have an accurate answer like we did not know the truth of the world which
we learnt from previous study. You make a good connective to previous study to
justify your point of view, i can see that you have a good understanding for
both this week study and earily study. I also approve that "we can't use
the nominalistic point of view, because then we would never get any
answers." Yes, even we don't know the true world or the true theories, but
we are ongoing verification the existing theories again and again, for each
time, a new theory born out and replace the old one, and we also closer to the
truth. Thanks again, for you wonderful post.
hej,
good post, very methodical, i agree with you
opinion that "All things should start with perceiving the world."
First we should obsevrve the wold, then we generate a question what it is for
the things we saw. then we collect data and our existing knowledge to propose
an assume, make a theory, do a research and then define it. So everthing is start
looking the world. And of course, can not be excluded that we might filtering
something by man-made sometimes, cause we are human. The last part humanities
research is also interesting, good jog, keep on!
Hi,
Good reflection, very details and easily to follow
you thought, i agree all you opinions in this theme. Very vivide example for
Newton’s laws of motion. You make a good reflection in the end of you post for
what is a good theory or bad, it is hardly to defination, theory is also hard
to be found. Luckly, we could test them again and again until the things we
believe it is the truth one. I am happy to read you post, keep on!
Hi,
It seems like you present you idea of the
difference between the scientific theories and philosophical in you own and new
way that i have ever thought it in this seminar, however, i like you way to
present them. I am interested in the discussion about the difference between
theory and hypothesis, i think you reflect this part very will, and i like you
opinions. Keep on!
Hi,
Good reflection of theme3, i am enjoy to read you
paper, clearly and easily to read. I also agree most of you opinions. For what
is the man and why teacher should talked about this, in my opinion, it is just
playing a connecting role in this theme. Casue we are human, we do not really
make a deep understanding the world, the truth for everything, so we could not
know what is the theory really is. If we connect to the know we learnt before,
it could not difficult to infer that everything is start from perceiving. Find
a theory is hard, find a good or right theory is harder and harder. What theory
is, sometimes is not easy to define it even not to mention that sometimes we
are filtering something when we make a research related to theory. Whatever,
nice work!
Hi, good
reflection on your post, espically the categories you defined what the theory
is. It is very interesting way to explain the theory but i can no doubt for all
you classification. Maybe it could be useful in my future works. You also give
a different overview for this theme than me that makes me very exciting, nice
work!
Hi,
your post is very impressed me, cause you gave
your groups discussion and opinions which is not mentioned in my groups, for
example the analysis is the fundamental to create theory which i spent time to
think and final realize that for part of my thought in what is theory can just
with this sentence to summarize. You also have a good explaination of what is
hypothesis, i have no doubt for that.
Hi,
thank you for you wonderful post, i found that you
posts are always in details and can include almost all things which introduced
in the lecture. I like read you post, cause i can find and fetch up things
which i missed from the course and get new opinions in your group discussion. I
also think that analysis is very important in a research paper cause we might
find new things according to the data results but it is not necessary or you
said a basement type for all papers. However, i have no doubt for your left
opinions. Good job and keep on:)
Hi,
You provide a very detailed post and i am pleasure
to read it. The words you said "there is no consensus what theory is"
makes me generate a strong sense of resonance, i could not agree more. Just
like there is no consensus what is human, that makes theory is not really
truth, maybe it is correct at some certain time, a new theory always coming to
verify the old one, but how to rightly define a theory is still hardly to say.
Thank you for you great post!
Hi,
thank you for you interesting post,i could say you
have somewhere is different like what i thought but most of you opinions are
similar to mine. The difficult of theory is how should we define it in our
experiments and how should we judgment the definitions we defined is right or
wrong, but through you post i saw that you have a clearly thinking after this
theme. And yes, i also think it will give a great supports for our future
academic researches. Nice work!
Theme
four
Hi,
Very good post reflection, it seems that you have
a good understanding about what is quantitative method and how to use it. Yes,
it is not easy when we choose a quantitative method to test our reseach, we
should both consider before and after a quantitative method be implemented
which related to our experiment. To analysis and revise the feasibility of the
method in order to infinitely approach the results we desired. I also agree all
you opinions in this post. Thank you so much for sharing your post. Good job!
Hi, very
nice post, you introduced a very detailed descriptions for what is quantative
and qualitative and the difference between them. You also add you own
understanding for them. I learned more new things from your post, thank you
very much!
Hi, very
interesting reflection. Your group talked about so much things about quantative
and qualitative method, I am espically interested in your group discussion
indicate that the mix of the two method. I spent a long time to think about it,
and for what i could say that i could not agree more. Thank you very much for
you post,keep on!
Hi, i
also have some pre knowledge about quantitative and qualitative method and used
both of them in my bachelor thesis. However, i still find something useful from
the course which is how to design a questionnaire. I think this is very useful
for my other course's project cause i was never design it before. Sometimes i
think reviewing the old may give you some new points for that. I am sorry you
said you are sadly after the course, i understood you want to get more useful
knowledge. Do not be sad, i hope you will obtain some new points in the next
theme.
Hi, haha i
have the same feeling like you, in fact i could say i don't think i gain more
new opinions with quantitative and qualitative method, cause i also already
touched them before. However i learned knowledge about how to design a
questionnaire from this course which i think will helped me with my project
from other course. Yes, i agree you said, this course could be very useful for
those students who did not have prior knowldged from that. But i also think
reviewing an old one can also get some new points, good job, keep on!
Hi, very
insighful. You shows more detailed description of these two methods and i am
enjoy reading it. Cause i have already learned them before, i do not have so
many new feeling like you. However, reviewing your post make me straightened
out my mind for that two methods. I think i got one or two new points now.
Thank you so much for sharing your post. Nice work!
Hi, very nice
reflection, i am enjoy reading your post, i can not agree more for your
opinions in this paper, espically "absolute truth not existing, and that
neither scientific method could be seen as “better” than the other ".
There is not an absolute measurement criterion, the method be used should
depending on what we expect to research. Different field will be required use
different methods even in a same research. I could say i do not got so much
feels like you in this week, however i still obtain the technical for design a
questionnaire which i think is the most useful part. Whatever, thank you so
much for you wonderful post.
Hi, very interesting
post. You have a good understanding about the concepts of quantitative and
qualitative method and you explained them in a clearly way that i can easily
follow it. I also agree with you that sometimes qualitative method has a
distinct advantage than quantitative. But it is not absolutely, it will depends
on the situation for what you want to research, the qualitative can have more
detailed in some specific field but if the tested population too large, it will
be a hard work. However, i know you know how to choose them related to your
post. Nice job!
Hi, thank
you so much for your post reflection. You used a different way to demonstrate
you foundinds in this week, i think the tables you used related to the example
is a very smart choice and suitable way can make a clearly presentation to show
the difference between two methods which i can easily followed you mind. I
agree with you that it is not easy when you used a quantitative method and want
to get the answers your expect. It is a little hard when you design a
quantitative method, a bad designed quantitative method will let you be
counterproductive. However, i think in this week's lecture, the teacher
demonstrate a very detailed information for how to build up an effective
quantitative method, i think the knowledge i gained in this week will provide a
great helpful for my future study. Thank you very much for your post, keep on!
Hi,
Nice reflection! You demonstrate you post in a
clearly way that i can followed your mind, unsderstanding what you said. I
agree most of your opionions. I think the introduction of queationnaire is the
most interesting part in this week, after that i have a clearly way to design
my own questionnaire in the project i am now working on. I think this weeks
topic is very useful. Thank you so much for your post!
Theme
five
Hi,
You write a great post reflection for this week
theme. I agree with you said that the first lecture was mainly focus on the
practical part to introduct how to desigh research and the second lecture used
more academic overview to explain the prototype in the research. However the
first lecture makes me to get more understanding than the second one cause many
example the teacher used are very interesting and helpful for me to understand
the contents more easier. Fortunately i got more knowledge from the second
lecture with your post, i should say thank you for that. I think both of the
two lectures can help us in a great way for our future works. Thanks again,
good work!
Hi, again,
you have a good reflection in this week, i think the first lecture is most
interesting than the second one, espically the hungry bear example let me have
a depth impress for how to design and choose an idea. I think it is very
important to design an idea and problem when we start a research, it plays a
beacon through all the research. But i also think solving a problem will also
important and can also spent more times to find the turth. Whatever, i agree
all you said in this post and keep on!
Hi, i
think you write the things is what you really learned from this week, i could
say good job, i also very interesting for haibo li’s lecture cause it is not
seems diffcult to follow what he want to present in the lecture. He present his
lecture with more practice part rather than academic overviews, which i think
can let the students have an easliy way to understand how to design a problem
and how to solve a problem, both of them are very important for a desing
research. I am sorry you missed the second lecture, but at truely, i did not
get so much for the second course, but i will fetch up i missed by reading your
posts :). Good job, however.
Hi, for
the first lecture, you divided it into five questions and gave a detail
explaination for each question,which i think is clearly and make easy to
follow. For what i enjoyed to read is the reflection of your second lecture's
contents. Case the teacher's voice is to low and i have so many parts can not
followed which makes me confused when i wrote my reflection. But through your
post, i have complexed what i missed in the lecture and also let me to review
what i learned from the course. Very useful and very good to read you post,
thank you so much.
Hi, good
reflection, i like you post structure that makes me easy to follow, espically
the second lecture you reflect. For the second part, the teacher said "We
use design to shape a prototype that searches for particular answers, the
prototype itself doesn't have to be a solution to anything" spent me a lot
of time to think, as i think it is because of the prototype that provide us a
way to test and improve our theories and methods in previously, for thus we
could found new things. What do you think of this words?
Hi, you
have written a good reflection. What impressed me is you reflect you first
lecture in a different aspect than others. You described with a large part of
you post to explain how to use mathematical in a design research, which i think
is belonging to solve problems part. i admitted that it is very important and
will make our research easier if we can use math perfectly, but the more
important part is how to define a problem, cause this is a basic for each
research. However i was enjoyed in you descibtion of math in your post and i
could not agree more. You also linked to your previous knowledge to define the
meaning of math in a depth way, which i think is a well done job. Thank you so
much for your post. I really learned a lot. Keep on!
Hi,
interesting reflection, nice and short. The first lecture used a practical way
to explain how to design research by using some vivid examples makes student
get a in-depth understanding for that part. The second lecture described by
using so many acdemic terms, however, just like you, i was not get so much for
that course, but i think i would find more useful things by reading others
posts. Good job, and good luck!
Hi, very
complete reflection post that contains most of concepts from the lectures. I
really enjoy reading it. I also think the Mr bean's example is very useful to
explain how to solve a same problem by using different ideas. I think the great
way for solving a problem is when you choose the idea to solve problem, you
should combined with your own ability and the tools arrounding yourself, make
the best idea which not only solve the problem with the most effective way, but
also is the thing that you can excatly do with youself. The example you read
from the newpaper is very interesting and can also support your views. Good job!
Hi, very interesting
post. The post full of you personal opinions which is very different than other
posts i read. I could say that is what i want to read after the course. Your
idea of both lectures are cleary and easily to follow and i could not agree more.
Thank you so much for your post.
Hi, very
interesting post, i enjoy reading it. You reflect with differet contents than
me and other posts i read, and you explained them good. I also agree the
important elements in a design research you metioned is "method,
hypothesis, describing the research question, published literature" which
i think is nice and conciseness introduce the process of the research, i could
not agree more. Thank you so much for your wonderful report.
Theme six
Hi, very nice post
reflection. I had to admit that i had the same opinion like you said in the
post which is the “a lot of data means quantitative, while few sources means
qualitative” at first. After i read your post i found that i treat this opinion
as a defalt idea in my mind, but i did not notice that before. Now i think,
sometime the qualitative methods needs more data collection than quantitative
methods, espically when you want to get more in- depth understanding within
some specific field, and the more data collection and analyze required for
that. I also agree you said that a case study is "a good way to start
exploring a new area of interest", and also useful to put forward a new
theory. After this seminar i noticed that, sometimes a case study is not always
required to find a new theory and it is very important for us to distinguish
the boundary between a case study and quantitative or qualitative methods. I
like the case study too, you post give a clear structure and i could easily
followed your thought. Thank you so much for your interesting work!
Hi,
Your post gave me a new overview of what is a case
study, i learned so much through your post. I make a mistake in my pre post
that i make a confused of case study to quantitative method which i think the
bounder of them are very blurry. But know i have a clear understanding for
that. The example of ethnic groups is a very interesting example which is as
good as the one from ilias. Your post structure is clear and nice to follow,
thank you so much for your great post!
I really
enjoy reading your post, it seems that we have many same opinions for case
study. I also choose the wrong paper for case study at the first post, but you
gave a wonderful analysis comparing your before and after understanding of the
case study. Your word "case study can be considered as more of a research
category rather than a method." which i think is very reasonable. The case
study can be said a strategy rather than a method that use quantitative method
and qualitative method to find a new theory. I also have the same idea with you
that a case study is not necessay to provide a new theory for each time, we can
just used the to find some fields we are interested in it and can used for a
new research. Whatever, good job, i like your thought.
Hi,
short and nice, very glad to see you have a good understanding for what is case
study after the seminar, your example to explain the case study is very
interesting. However, i am very expect that if you could showed more your
thought for what your learned in this week. I could not say that i really
understand all of the contents, so i am enjoy reading others post to get more
new things :)
Hi
Thank you so much for sharing your post. The case
study for me is a research strategy by using quantitative and qualitative
methods in order to find something interesting to research or provide a new
theory. But i think you present good in your post, espically the two examples
your used in the last paragraph which make me impressed. I agree all of you
told and very happy to read your post.
