Thoughts on Being Human [1] – Presumption

One thing lies common to all of us: we are human.  We have human bodies, human minds; human feelings, human thoughts, human desires, human beliefs.  But aside from these and other such generic commonalities, our experiences differ.  The experiences of being a man or being a woman (or being intersex, for that matter, though an …

Thomistic Psychology & Technology

As a Research Fellow with the Center for the Study of Digital Life, my main project has been to explore the connections of the faculty psychology originated by Aristotle's Περὶ ψυχῆς (transliterated: Peri psuche; in Latin: De anima; in English: On the Soul) and carried into the medieval tradition, especially as found in Thomas Aquinas and …

Unreason in the Digital Age

The past three years have seen a considerable amount of angst over the changes digital technology--ubiquituous socialized participation in all forms of media, in particular (with social media platforms becoming increasingly expansive in their reach and integration with the rest of the media)--has been rendering in not only our political and social but also psychological …
