Phenomenology

In tonight’s session we have been learning further about Carl Rogers and his conditions of a successful person- centred therapy. We have been exploring Unconditional Positive Regard, a term used by Rogers to describe a basic acceptance and support of a person regardless what they say or do. Unconditional Positive Regard is an attitude of the counsellor towards his client. Rogers believes that this attitude is essential to a healthy development and cause a positive therapeutic movement in a therapy

The Disneyland of Consciousness is a video clip that showcases the ability for one to be fooled. In the video clip the audience is taken through scenarios and situations that portray a sense of a person’s 'consciousness ' being made to think that certain animations are in real sense true. Although the scenarios tend to portray childish thought about the actions being seen, what we stimulate in our own reality may not always appear to be the way we want it to be. In this regard, the theme behind

The question of what phenomenology is and what it does seems to be a relatively straight-forward question with a rather complex answer. In his Introduction to Phenomenology, Robert Sokolowski states that "phenomenology offers the pleasure of philosophy for those who wish to enjoy it" (15). This is a very fundamental and basic sentence, but nonetheless extremely important in the philosophy of phenomenology. In order to truly understand the importance of this simple sentence however, one must first

“Why do we exist? What is the purpose of our life? What is our relation to the world and to other people?” (Gravail, Richard 7). These are the types of questions raised in the heart of philosophy. Existentialism is simply a philosophical approach that focuses on human freedom and responsibilities. Moreover, I agree with the philosophical position on mankind presented in Jean-Paul Sartre’s “Existentialism.” Man will be what he plans to be, solely depending on his will. Man creates himself and his

Discuss Sartre’s theory of the ‘radical freedom’ of consciousness Jean-Paul Sartre in his book ‘Being and Nothingness’ provided us with a new interpretation of freedom consistent with his famous account on existentialism. This is the view that existence precedes its essence: “In a word, man must create his own essence: it is in throwing himself into the world, suffering there, struggling there, that he gradually defines himself” (Sartre, 1943), (Onof, 2016). Here, Sartre stated that humans are completely

In Jürgen Moltmann’s theology his discussions typically include his views of the human being. This paper will explore the question, “Does Jürgen Moltmann’s select early works seek to answer to the question what is the human being as the imago Dei?” The goal of this first section of the paper is to describe some of the various aspects of the imago Dei, which emerge within Moltmann’s early corpus. Imago Dei: Functional and Missional The human being is a frequent topic in Moltmann’s theology, although

Fraud, murder, courage, and strong will are all words that can be linked to humanity. These words will often raise questions like, who did it, how they did it, or why. Can it be that the true answer to these questions lies in getting a better understanding of our human nature? Does man act according to his divine plan, or is he taught how to act? In analyzing the works of Hsün Tzu and Jean-Paul Sartre, I will determine which of these two philosophers offers the strongest foundation for living

Abstract Carl Rogers presented the person-centered approach of therapy as a reaction to the directive approach of psychoanalysis and behaviorism. This type of therapy would be catagorized under the humananistic perspective. The person-centered therapy emphasizes facilitative therapy conditions as a means to behavior change in individuals, groups, families, schools and communities. There are facilitative conditions to this type of therapy, they include: congruence, unconditional positive regard,

Throughout this course, there were multiple successful strategies and practices that I utilized. Some practices that ended up very successful for me included typing up the study guides before major exams. Using this method helped me organize all of my notes and information together so I would not have to flip through all of the pages constantly in my notebook. Also, typing up study guides forced me to review the material while typing it out and being exposed to again. In my opinion, repetition can

In the qualitative approach, theory plays an important role, whether the study has more of a theoretical or a conceptual base. Theory provides a guide that strengthens understanding by giving a focused explanation of behaviors and attitudes of subjects studied (Creswell, 2009). Dr. Lynn (Laureate, 2010) suggest, research use of theory is looked at best on the continuum of inquiry; in other words, based on what the author wants to explore there may be a clear foundation of theory to help explain the
