Like a shining shadow, Louis Kahn's poetry is found in all his works, both built or just designed. In his conferences, Kahn formulates thoughts that often touch on notes of poetry, the sacred, or a mystic science of cosmos where the architect becomes a narrator of our origins. It is not, however, a question of simple cultural ornament, or a search for consensus, but a free inner necessity which produces expression, creation and design, and which translates into categories that literally materialise as architectural forms. ‘The Room', a 1971 sketch which shows the mind of this great ‘Philosopher by nature' like a stage, is an emblem of the original node that joins matter and spirit, which binds architecture and thought, architecture and archetype, well beyond the limits of Louis Kahn's personal experience.

The article deals with the analysis of V. N. Soroka-Rossinsky's pedagogical heritage about the national school reflected in his pre-revolutionary articles. Based on the analysis of the articles, it is concluded that V. N. Soroka-Rosinsky in his views on the national school is close to the K. D. Ushinsky’s principle of the nationality of education. At the same time, the research scientist tends to the psychology of feeling, the energy theory of the American psychologist Stanley Hall - the creator of pedology, which was reflected in his further practical work and collaboration with A. F. Lazursky and V. M. Bekhterev. The central concept in his theory is a national feeling, which is not perceived by the mind, but is lived and experienced by the heart. This strong feeling is associated with the adolescent thirst for heroism and feat, the attraction to a strong personality, which should be applied in education. The scientist finds the roots of sacrificial civic feeling in genetic memory and connects the personal experience of a teenager with the genetic one...

The Mind

The ability to work in more tasks in every field life it’s hard goal to achieve. I can affirm with proof that you need to train constantly for it. It means that you have to train the mind and the action through the same direction. I’ve been trained myself in this task as personal experience of life. Since I was twenty I’ve held many important and hard tasks that have changed my mind results. It’s the same in the field of learning, studying and teaching foreign languages. If you don’t train quite every day your memorization, it’s quite impossible to learn a foreign language. A professional professor in foreign languages is normally used to teach one, two languages or sometimes more, and it’s difficult in any case. According to my experience I got the special training to teach in contemporary more languages, I mean at the same time, to switch more languages, so it happens that I teach more languages in the same day and even in the same hour, without any difficulty. It’s possible only because my mind is always well trained. It’s for example, when you change language, you must remember all skills, in contemporary with other languages, it’s so when I teach English, German, French, Russian, Arabic, Italian, etc.. It’s not easy to train the mind in this way, but you can succeed if you do the right training. It’s important to be conscious about the power of the mind, when we want to learn a foreign language. It’s not easy but you must focus in hard training to get true results. The mistake is to think to learn a language without passion just for a duty, in this way you will never learn it; it’s the first step in helping the memorization. Then you will find the next step to follow the training of memorization.

This chapter turns to philosophers and artists, seeking their views on the dilemma of consciousness and the self, as well as the related mind/body problem. Does consciousness – and personal experience – arise from the neurological functions of the brain (and if so, how), or is it but a shard of the flow of universal consciousness – and if so, is the mind only a channel of energy and should we forget about our cognitive functions, or train to use them in a different way? What does it mean to have a strong sense of personal identity – where does the ‘true self' lie? Having learnt from neuroscientists and most psychologists that our self seems to exceed the scope and depth of both body and mind, we hope that philosophy and art might guide us towards this ‘other' realm where our sense of identity emerges from.

Previous studies reported that 20–30% of COVID-19 patients will develop delirium during the hospitalization, achieving 70% in cases of severe illness. The risks factors and the consequences of delirium are well-documented in the literature; however, little is known about the personal experience of delirium. Delirium burden is common and tends to be distressing even after the delirium episode has resolved. Taking this in mind, the present work provides a first-person account of a doctor who acquired Covid-19 and developed bilateral pneumonia and had delirium and a complicate course of illness. During the course of his delirium, the patient recalled experiences of reality and unreality, complete disorientation, lack of control, strong emotions, and intense fear of dying which was significantly distressing. We anticipate that delirium burden will be common on these patients and family members and clinicians should be aware of this phenomenon in order to evaluate the neuropsychiatric consequences of this condition.

Plausible Theory

The main purpose of this article is to mention the most important Guidano’s approach contributions to modern psychotherapy and psychopathology. In his cultural and interpretative psychology, rooted in evolutionary epistemology, the mind is the link between the individual and his biology, the external world, and his story. Beginning from the emergence of mentalism among primates, Guidano offers a new explanation of psychosis and psychopathology, for understanding and for curing, based on the integration of three levels of self-meaning: individual, familial, and social. With contextualization, a phylogenic way of remaining connected with the group, as the ontogenic way of child developing that takes place in the family context, through the attachment bonds, it becomes possible to  put in sequence the personal experience and integrate it inside the self,  to maintain life coherence and continuity. Both psychotherapy and psychiatry are in need of a plausible theory of mind that is able to offer an understanding of basic inherited human feelings, language and meanings as evolutionary tools that are necessary for a functioning health human: the mind and the brain are the same thing. The primacy  of affect during the evolution of brain-mind suggests that therapies need a clear vision and knowing of affective human life and what we need is a complete integration of every therapeutic tradition,  having  the primacy of affective development as the core

As editor of scopio Editions it is a great honour to be writing this closing text about the upcoming book which communicates our last Duelo/Dueto session of Architecture, Art and Image (AAI) series that had as invited authors Valerio Olgiati and Bas Princen. I will start by talking about the book as a privileged medium for Architecture, Art and Image and then go on focusing on this book in particular and its authors. This conference series had from the start planned a publication for each session with the contribution of the invited speakers and the organization because we believe that the physical book, without prejudice towards the potential of digital publications, is still a tool of paramount importance for preserving and building knowledge, not just for students and academics, but also for all professionals and non-scholars. The physical book somehow allows the understanding of what was discussed and debated in Duelo/Dueto sessions in a different manner, encouraging and giving the right time to each viewer for a deeper thinking. The reading of these sessions also means that these events of rich exchange of ideas and personal experience between significant authors coming from AAI universe are preserved for future studies. In this way, they can be shared with a larger audience, opening the mind of many to these events and encouraging critical thinking toward a vast horizon of issues related to AAI universe. It is worth referring also that the specific potential of the physical book as a unique medium to communicate Architecture, Art and Image1 was explored in this publication, which adds to its uniqueness and makes it more an author´s book than the customary conference or roundtable publication.  It was possible to create a visual narrative where the sum is greater than the parts, which we believe has as a result an innovative reading and a more insightful understanding about the thoughts, work and artistic strategies of both authors. Thus, we believe that this book, the second of this series of four publications focused on each session, will foster a significant critical debate related to Architecture, Art and Image, as already happened with our first published book on this series.

This workshop is a hands-on, interactive experience supporting the research of Malkina-Pykh IG and the works of authors Kelly Michael, McCarthy Patrick and Milne Hugh. Their works cover associations between the mindbody connection and the importance of integrating a holistic approach to reach optimal levels of fitness, thereby, impacting levels of obesity in individuals. Focus is placed on a health based movement practice within the scope of the client’s abilities. The workshop will cover breathing techniques, beginning and simple movement, and the promotion of a positive and nonjudgmental support system. The methods will be taken from personal experience of teaching movement based practices since 2004 successfully with elementary to college aged students. The combination of the three allows for awareness of the human body and how truly interconnected it is. When we as people eat, we put food into the human body. When we breathe and move, we train the human body. When we connect with other like-minded people, we are connecting to other human bodies™. Through this awareness, practice and connection students can start to have a sense of belonging and thereby impacting levels of obesity.

Although Cajal was devoted to “the religion of the cell,” there was an apocryphal strain of thought running through his research. Before studying the brain, Cajal had explored hypnotism through his science fiction, and he confirmed the real effects of suggestibility in his psychological research. Cajal sided with the Nancy doctrine of universal suggestibility, whereas Freud was persuaded by Charcot’s demonstration that hypnosis was both a sign of illness and a treatment modality for mental illness. The career paths of Cajal and Freud would diverge permanently. Despite his interest in experimental psychology and his personal experience with hypnosis and suggestion, Cajal experienced a conversion to neurohistology that resembled an awakening. However, he never lost his interest in the workings of the mind.

Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010) is a difficult film to categorize. It partakes of various genres, blurring the distinctions between them. It is science fiction, but it does not contain many of the ingredients associated with that genre. It can also be identified as a kind of heist film, and there are shades of film noir as well, not only because of the heist motifs but also due to its character types. It can also be described as a psychological thriller, telling the story of one man's attempt to flee his past and regain access to his family, of his coming to terms with the death of his wife. In addition, it plays with time, questioning the certainty of consciously experienced real time, and revealing that the personal experience of the passing of time is variable. The film also explores the nature of the mind and how dreams are related to the conscious and unconscious mind. This book covers all of these facets of a complex, yet highly successful, film, as well as considering it in the context of the director's other work.
