Zihinsel Hileler ve Manipülasyon Sanatı
İnsan zihnini anlamak için, kendini kandırmayı anla. Anon “Yanılgı” sözcüğü, Latince iki sözcükten türemiştir: fallax (“aldatıcı”) ve fallere (“aldatmak”).

İnsan zihninin sevdiği şey kendisidir, ona hizmet eden, onu pohpohlayan...

This Is The Way: Chinese Philosophy PodcastEpisode 4: PersuasionIn this episode we discuss the topic of persuasion by exploring a dialogue between Confucius and his disciple Yan Hui in Chapter Four of the Zhuangzi. Among the questions we explore are: (1) Is persuading someone who disagrees with you even possible? (2) Under what conditions might someone be persuaded to a different viewpoint? (3) What is the concept of "fasting of the mind" as presented by Confucius? (4) What kind of power do philosophical arguments possess?
