<p>The present study aimed to draw attentions toward the importance of art-based curriculum in peace education. Arts education can nurture humanitarian and peaceable children. However, arts education and its effect on developing ethical skills, compassion, sympathy and peace have been neglected in many societies. In this research, by analytical-descriptive method, the interaction between arts education and peace education has been explained. The main finding of this research is that Arts education through various methods including visual arts, performing arts, cinema, and music provides different methods for revolutionizing the mind. Therefore, the role of content mediation of art for understandability of the truth about peace could not be neglected. Art as content becomes the mediator for understanding and nurturing peace.</p>

Abstract: In this article, I explore the role of visual arts in shaping the future direction of the literary arts in my pre-service teacher education classroom. I outline a cross-curricular curriculum by exploring a theoretical and practical relationship between visual and poetic aesthetics. Drawing upon the imagination, we are able to become critical storytellers as we engage in ekphrastic poetics, that is—a poetic response to a form of art. Ultimately, we modify and expand on the practice to include responses to photography or works of art—that are themselves aesthetic responses. Key words: Arts; Education; Imagination; Ekphrastic Poetics; Curriculum. Résumé : J’analyse dans cet article le rôle des arts visuels dans l’orientation future des arts littéraires dans le contexte de ma classe de formation initiale des enseignants. Je donne un aperçu d’un programme transdisciplinaire en analysant le lien théorique et pratique entre l’esthétisme visuel et l’esthétisme poétique. Nous pouvons, grâce à l’imagination, devenir des raconteurs critiques par le biais de la poésie ekphrasique, c’est-à-dire par le biais d’une réaction poétique vis-à-vis une forme d’art. En bout de ligne, nous modifions et élargissons la pratique pour y inclure les réactions face à la photographie ou à des œuvres d’art, qui sont elles-mêmes des interprétations esthétiques.Mots-clés : arts, éducation, imagination, poésie ekphrasique, curriculum.

Moving from primary to secondary school is a major challenge. This article presents the concept of educational transition, makes a case for its relationship with identity formation, and discusses its e ects on students’ academic achievement, social adjustment, and self-concepts. It explores the role of art and creativity to foster resilience and presents an example of how visual arts were used to help students negotiate and reframe transition. It concludes with further practical considerations for art education with the hope that visual arts can play a critical role in ensuring that students successfully meet the challenges along the way to secondary school.

David Hoinski and Ronald Polansky’s “The Modern Aristotle: Michael Polanyi’s Search for Truth against Nihilism” shows how the general tendencies of contemporary philosophy of science disclose a return to the Aristotelian emphasis on both the formation of dispositions to know and the role of the mind in theoretical science. Focusing on a comparison of Michael Polanyi and Aristotle, Hoinski and Polansky investigate to what degree Aristotelian thought retains its purchase on reality in the face of the changes wrought by modern science. Polanyi’s approach relies on several Aristotelian assumptions, including the naturalness of the human desire to know, the institutional and personal basis for the accumulation of knowledge, and the endorsement of realism against objectivism. Hoinski and Polansky emphasize the promise of Polanyi’s neo-Aristotelian framework, which argues that science is won through reflection on reality.

Cartesian Fingerprints in Beckett's Imagination Dead Imagine

Limiting Case

The idea that Beckett investigates in his works the limits of the media he uses has been widely discussed. In this article I examine the fiction Imagination Dead Imagine as a limiting case in Beckett's exploration of limits at large and the limits of the media he uses in particular. Imagination Dead Imagine is shown to be the self-reflexive act of an artist who imaginatively explores the limits of that ultimate medium – the artist's imagination itself. My central aim is to show that various types of structural homologies (at several levels of abstraction) can be discerned between this poetic exploration of the limits of imagination and Cartesian thought. The homologies indicated here transcend what might be termed as ‘Cartesian typical topics’ (such as the mind-body dualism, the cogito, rationalism versus empiricism, etc.). The most important homologies that are indicated here are those existing between the role of imagination in Descartes' thought - an issue that until only a few decades ago was quite neglected, even by Cartesian scholars - and Beckett's perception of imagination. I suggest the use of these homologies as a tool for tracing possible sources of inspiration for Beckett's Imagination Dead Imagine.

Resumo:  Apresenta-se uma discussão sobre o conhecimento e a tese dos três mundos no qual a interação entre estes nos aproxima da verdade do problema corpo-mente, tendo em vista, uma nova proposta de solução. O terceiro mundo é uma peça importante neste trabalho; sendo assim, analisaremos o que Popper designa como Mundo 3, em que ele consiste e o papel da linguagem como diferencial do ser humano. Apresentamos as críticas popperianas às correntes monistas e dualistas, ousando fazer uma crítica a Teoria do Conhecimento tradicional. Desta forma, a proposta apresentada por este filósofo da ciência diferencia-se de tudo que estava sendo feito até então, por isso, o interesse de apresentar essa abordagem pouco trabalhada de Popper. Palavras-chave: Conhecimento. Corpo-Mente. Mundo 3.Abstract: In this work, we present a discussion about knowledge and the theory of the three worlds in which the interaction between them approaches to the truth of the mind-body problem, in view of a proposed solution. The third world is an important piece in this work. Therefore, we will analyze what Popper describes as World 3, what it is and the role of language as a differential of human beings. We present Popper’s criticisms to the monistic and dualistic currents, daring to criticize the theory of traditional knowledge. Thus, the proposal of science presented by this philosopher differs from everything that was being done until then. This explains the interest in presenting this unusual approach to Popper.Keywords: Knowledge. Body-Mind.  World 3. REFERÊNCIASLEAL-TOLEDO, Gustavo . Popper e seu Cérebro.
