EBSCOhost: Radical deinstitutionalization: Rousseau versus Freud. - 0 views

  •  
    The book from which we read the discourse by Rousseau mentioned how his ideas had a substantial influence on psychological thought. This article from the Journal of Mental Health describes how his ideas about the natural man compare with Freud's and how both apply to whether or not state mental hospitals should exist. Very interesting.

Scholarly Communications @ Duke » What is Open Science? - 1 views

  • The spirit of these principles is that there should be transparency to the methods, observations, data collection, data access, communication, collaboration and research tools.  Instead of limiting the sharing of the practice of science to publication of selected results, the entire scientific process should be exposed to potential users, collaborators and extenders of the work.

      It's interesting how many teachers will not allow you to use Wikipedia as a source, but in light of this digital civilization class, isn't it a form of Open Access Information, and shouldn't it be praised in a way?
  • Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.
