As a brief introduction to who I am, I am primarily interested in how we learnincluding the techniques that work best for learning, contexts for learning, the theories for learning, and the neurophysiology for learning. What follows is for interested surfers, scholars (some working papers are and will be appended), teachers looking for some ideas, and my students. Philosophy This page is under construction. An interesting topic for those interested in Faith, doubt, and belief will find an essay that examines the topic using philosophers from Charles S. Peirce to Alvin Plantinga. Doubt and belief, play a central role in learning.

Dr. Jagadeesh, Dept. of chemistry, Govt. Engineering College at Trichur, Kerala, India, is a technocentric environmentalist interested in pollution from automobile exhausts, catalytic converters, speciation of heavy metals, and chemical modeling.

Extractions: Environmental Philosophy comprises of two schools of thoughts: the ecocentric and the technocentric It is true that the ecocentric approach can only find an eternal solution to the global pollution problems and as such it reverberates through the words of great English poet Francis Thompson "Thou canst not stir a flower without troubling a star!!!" Later some scientists realised this fact through " Butterfly effect Our father of Nation (India), Mahatma Gandhi, a great philosopher and social reformist, too had visualized the dangers of urbanization, pretty long back! He insisted on and dedicated his life for the development of "self-sufficient villages" . His theme of building self-sufficient villages is the most scientific and everlasting ecological message to the humankind!!! But the following words of Rolf Edberg depict the present world: "What has gone wrong, probably, is that we have failed to see ourselves as part of a large and indivisible whole. For too long we have based our lives on a primitive feeling that man's "God- given" role was to have "dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over everything that moveth upon the earth". We have failed to understand that the earth does not belong to us, but we to the earth".

Naturalism vs. Culturalism Naturalism a priori before the invention of those concepts, it is a petitio principii explain However, the emphasis on historical and social issues of science marks the transition to the culturalistic attitude against science, an attitude that establishes in advance a distinction between a cultural and a natural Culturalism about A plethora of undesired environmental, social and political side effects and consequences of the explosive development of chemistry in the last fifty years kicked off an even increasing discussion on the ethical limits of chemical enterprise and on the responsibility of the chemists for the taming of the forces they have freed from their retorts. The importance of philosophy of chemistry for a fruitful discourse on these topics is easily illustrated on following example: lifeworldly basis of chemistry.

Phil, University of Southampton; Ph.D. from King's College, University of London; Postdoctoral Fellowship, California Institute of Technology; Editor of Foundations of Chemistry . Previous positions in US: Bradley University and Purdue University Research In recent years there has been a worldwide upsurge of interest in philosophical aspects of chemistry. In my own work I examine the extent to which chemical concepts can be explained through fundamental theories in physics, especially quantum mechanics. I also focus on the implications of this work on chemical education and the manner in which chemistry is presented in textbooks and general chemistry courses. More specifically, I am interested in issues surrounding the teaching of atomic and electronic structure. I also work on historical and philosophical aspects of the Periodic System of the Elements and several other areas in history and philosophy of chemistry. Complete Publications 104.

http://web.chem.ucla.edu/~harding/course_philosophy.html

Extractions: "Unlike history or philosophy, chemistry cannot profitably be read chapter by chapter but must be vigorously attacked with a dozen sharp pencils and a ream of inexpensive paper close at hand. When information is used to solve problems, it rapidly becomes part of your knowledge." Rodger W. Griffin, Jr., organic chemistry instructor "Griffin was right, but add an eraser to your organic chemistry study equipment. An eraser is essential because you will explore, and exploring means taking wrong turns and making mistakes. Mistakes lead to a deeper understanding of what is right, what is wrong, why some things work and other don't. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, and wear out an eraser or two." Dr H. The "O" in O-Chem does not mean zero work or zero effort. In fact, this may be one of the toughest and most rewarding courses you take as a UCLA student. You must immerse yourself in chemistry to fully understand and appreciate it. Enlightnment is not instantaneous. It requires thought and reflection.

What could possibly be the connection between chemistry and philosophy, apart from the obvious superficial one of their both representing quests for knowledge? How do contemporary chemists and philosophers generally view one another? These are some of the questions I will try to put before going on to describe the connections that have recently been forged between these two seemingly very diverse fields of academic study..

http://www.du.edu/chemistry/Grad/PhD.htm

Extractions: The PhD degree is the highest degree awarded and is intended for students whose goal is a career in scientific research. The ultimate aim of this degree is to train a scientist who can independently pursue a research project. To facilitate the educational process, each student has an advisory committee that functions to both advise the student and monitor the student's progress. For complete information, see the current graduate bulletin and our general admission requirements. A total of 90 quarter credit hours are required of which a minimum of 75 hours must be earned at the University of Denver. Because a PhD degree in chemistry is primarily a degree in which competence in research is learned and demonstrated, a large percentage of these hours are earned as credit for research.
