General Studies-Arts & Humanities-AA or 1290 Liberal Studies-Transfer?

answers1: Double-check me on this but I think your CC has a program
that designates which courses will be transferable to a 4 year or
other school. <br>
<br>
The alternative includes courses you take for self-enrichment and/or
for a Vocational or other Associates degree at that school. <br>
<br>
If you are in Liberal Studies - Transfer and try to sign up for a
course that for some reason will not transfer, the Counselor should
catch it.
answers2: You do not want an AA degree. You want only the courses
needed for transfer to a university. An AA often includes courses not
usable for credit after you transfer. <br>
<br>
Overall it sounds like this particular school has created a major
specific for transferring and the word "Transfer" in the name implies
to me that this is a specific program meant for transferring. <br>
<br>
What you need to do is take a list of all the courses that are
included in this major and cross check them against the courses needed
to complete the major you plan to transfer into at the university.of
your choice. You may also want to contact the registrar's office at
the university and ask them if you take this transfer program that all
the credits will indeed apply to your major. <br>
<br>
But in this case if I had to make a guess with only this information,
I would say the counselor was correct recommending Liberal
Studies-Transfer. <br>
<br>
Just be aware that doing the transfer route is not a good idea if you
are planning on engineering or Pre-Med. You cannot take all the
courses for those in only 2 years.
answers3: GS Liberal Studies -transfer is more general than is GS-A&H
though both are for transferring. <br>
<br>
If your major is going to be in the arts and hummanities after you
transfer than the GS-A&H might be the right option since it will
include some arts and humanities lower-level major courses.
Otherwise, the GS-Liberal Studies is designed specifically for what
you asked for - the general education core of a 4-year program. <br>
<br>
Either one is adequate for a transfer degree though. Understand very
clearly that an AA in general studies (or just about anything else)
isn't for getting a job. If you think you might not transfer to a
4-year aftward then consider some other associate degrees that lead to
a vocational qualifier.

Humanities project help!!!?

answers1: such loads of excellent issues to go with between! you may
contemporary portray by potential of Picasso, Van Gogh, Degas,
Toulouse-Latrec, Renoir, Klee; in basic terms check out the artwork
books on your library. For dance, there is Isadora Duncan, Mikhail
Barishnokov, Bob Fosse, for starters. The action picture "White
Nights" had some staggering scenes blending Gregory Hines' faucet with
Barishnokov's ballet, even the plot is purely a motor vehicle for the
dancing. maximum suitable desires.
answers2: Since we are talking humanities - as a starting point you
need to remind yourself of the function of Venus as the goddess of
Love in ancient mythology. Then you might read between the lines of
this Wikipedia article <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_Victrix_%28Canova%29"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_Victr...</a>
and point to the fact that a husband had it carved of his wife for
exhibition in their (expensive) home/mansion/palace. Note also that
an upper class woman actually posing in the nude was considered
shocking then as well as now - maybe less now. <br>
If you still don't see a connection, perhaps you are limiting your
definition of love to one or two of the dozens of uses of the word
(which can make it almost meaningless in a specific application) - no
the statue does not have much of anything to do with Christian love or
love thy neighbor.

Pop art halloween Costume ideas!!?

What other art is Conceptual Art related to and what are some characteristics of Conceptual Art?

answers1: In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important
aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it
means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and
the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that
makes the art.
answers2: to me, conceptual art is mostly related to minimal art. what
they have in common is the focus on the idea instead of the resulting
artwork. therefore, the actual piece can be created by others than the
artist.

what type of art is this?

answers1: Metaphysics art :) it has a few other twist of other styles,

art for sure. :)

does not carry a lot of weight with employers. And it is expensive.

Does art have any rules?

answers1: Rules of certain quality...
answers2: Hey art is an expression and happens in so many millions of
ways that it would be a crime to say there should be any rules for it!
I studied art in college and my teacher explained to us why there
will never be a true answer or definition about what art is. Since the
way we all view art is from our own perception, it is only us that can
tell ourselves whether a piece of art is art or junk. Trust me, art is
a confusing subject and so many people want to know why the piece of
art that the monkey made is worth over 1 million dollars- it's a
tricky question! If I were you, I would just experiment and have fun
with art. Its hard to realize that we are surrounded by art on a daily
basis and we take it for granted. Don't worry about any rules - just
enjoy it as a form of beauty. hope this helps!
answers3: essentially yes art does have rules...
answers4: I immediately thought about artistic freedom when I saw this
question, whether it be visual art or music. <br>
Even though I have artistic freedom according to my contractual
agreement with the company I work for, there are still some rules I
must follow. <br>
That is of course by a legal contract, but without I actually feel
there should be expression through art of any form without boundaries.
Some rules may exist so as one may not harm, copy or imitate another
artists work.
answers5: Art doesn't have any rules, that's what it makes it beautiful.

What are the differences and similarities between fans of Japanese art and Western art?

answers1: They are both interested in art; one is interested in
Japanese art. The other is interested in Western art.

What is the difference between art and visual design?

answers1: When used as you do "art and visual design" normally means
that art involves expressing oneself using artistic media including
drawing and painting with possibly a sampling of clay sculpture.
Visual design is usually applied art - in particular posters but
possibly the shapes of real products - notice both the basic
suggestions are relatively cheap compared to "real life" activities -
cheap fitting school activities. <br>
But you should be able to talk to the people who are teaching this now
and find out what is included.
answers2: Art is in general the expression of oneself through a
creative medium, e.g. music, paints, poetry, dance, etc. <br>
Visual design is a bit more specific and professional about, well,
designing things to please the eye. I imagine it would be something
like a publishing or graphic arts course.

what is visual arts of computer?

answers1: GIMP is an image editor that is downloadable free <br>
Otherwise you will have to add more detail and context.
answers2: Hi. There are plenty of options for visual art software.
Just Google the ones that interest you. I assume you're talking about
digital drawing/painting so let me list them out for you. <br>
<br>
Photoshop-- The industry standard that its totally worth the hefty
price (IMO). It's specialty is editing photographs and images. If
your interested, I suggest using the free trial before investing in
the full version. <br>
<br>
Gimp-- Similar to Photoshop but with an emphasis on drawing. It is
<FREE> so I highly recommend it. <br>
<br>
Paint.net-- is another example of a unique, fun drawing tool. Can't
say anything too special about it though. It can make some pretty
nice Gif. images if you're into that type of thing. This is also free
for download off of the website. <br>
<br>
If you're on a Windows computer then MS Paint should already be on
your computer for some basic drawing tools. Its really easy to use
but doesn't have too much to offer. <br>
<br>
If you're really serious about visual art then go for Adobe Photoshop,
Autodesk Sketchbook, Corel Draw, or Painter. <br>
<br>
It's all really about your preference and needs for the type of art you create.
answers3: photograph layout!!! learn CorelDraw (my popular), or Adobe
Illustrator. Adobe photoshop is a might desire to. alongside with your
pc background you'll be able to desire to in all danger determine
those classes out particularly quickly. you'll be able to desire to
start your very own T-shirt corporation printing your designs onto
easy colored t-shirts. besides on your pc equipment all you may choose

a hand iron). you'll be able to desire to test your artwork artwork
into the pc, play with it in photoshop, export it to CorelDraw upload
some text fabric and wa l. a., you're in the t-shirt corporation,
seem around you, what's every person donning? Print out some
corporation enjoying cards which you layout. Make up some flyers.
placed an advert in the paper. word of mouth and persons donning your
shirts is the main suitable commercial. might desire to be stable.

How expensive are acting classes? Please help!?

they are.

Whats the difference between an acting coach and acting teacher?

answers1: Um...an acting coach is someone who coaches you through
acting like monologues or working on a scene. An "acting teacher" is a
phrase that is rarely ever used or not at all. That's usually never
the correct phrase to use. and if it is used then expect that person
to teach you about acting on an academic level. Meaning a grade will
be involved.
answers2: an acting teacher is going to cover several aspects of
acting. a coach is usually hired by an actor <br>
who has picked up a part but needs some special instruction on certain
aspect of the role. you wouldn't <br>
want to hire a coach for normal acting classes.

Warden Vs. Acting Warden?

answers1: The acting warden has a SAG card. <br>
Sorry, a joke that is likely out of your experience range. <br>
<br>
Acting and regular have the same powers. Acting is temporary fill in
until the corrections bosses (usually called a state board of
corrections) officially votes on a new warden.

Anyone been in highschool theater?

answers1: JOIN JOIN JOIN! you can join theater at any time. you may or
may not get into the plays, i don't know. the drama teacher at my
school at least is about 30 times more likely to cast a drama student
in his plays than someone he hasn't taught, though! <br>
class work depends on how serious your class is. there is going to be
some memorization and work involved, but i'm sure you can handle it.
<br>
as for theater kids? hmmm... be nice to everybody. theater kids can be
drama queens (not just the girls!) and sometimes they aren't all that
nice, but if you can stay on everyone's good side and always be
friendly, you'll be alright. <br>
best of luck!
answers2: Different schools have different policies about courses so I
can't help you there, but I can assure you that if you join a theater
class, you will have the opportunity to perform in front of a crowd.
<br>
<br>
As for class work, at the very beginning of a theater education, it's
likely that your teacher will focus on improvisation and taking risks.
Mostly this is to build confidence and creativity. The next step is
learning about creating character. <br>
<br>
Lastly, as for getting along with theater kids, it's the same with
getting along with anyone else. Theater kids are still kids. Perhaps
for talkative than most, but when don't you have talkative kids in
your science class? Don't categorize them into a category. Not until
you've taught theater for years. Then you can be like my teacher and
call all of us "theater kids" because we drive her crazy with our
obnoxious loudness. ;)
answers3: I joined theater in grade 9. Loved it. Wasn't part of any
productions at my school though, but did lots of scene study, theory,
and improv. When I returned in grade 11, I was the lead in both
productions, and loved it. Theater is amazing, and you will love it.
As for getting along with them, just enjoy yourself. Theater class is
the one class where you can fully express yourself (Besides other arts
courses) and go for it! Have fun!
answers4: I was heavily involved in theater in high school, all behind
the scenes. Never took a class or auditioned for a part, and that was
just fine--had a blast. <br>
<br>
Some programs will guarantee a role for those in the class, while
others have open auditions. Ask your friends or the instructor. <br>
<br>
Theater is great for any age, especially high schoolers. (Teens have
always been good at manufacturing drama!) Give it a try, and if you
find it fun, keep doing it.
answers5: There were tons of Sophomores and Juniors in my theatre one class.

Is there an hbcu that is awesome for theater majors?

answers1: Hmmm... that's a tough one. The majority of excellent
theatre schools are in the North and most HBCUs are in the South.
Wilberforce University in Ohio is the only one I know of in the North
but I think they are known more for their music, not theatre.

Question about bedbugs in movie theatres?

answers1: Absolutely. Think about the cleaning crew, clean one
theatre, bedbug jumps on them and hitches a ride to the next theatre.
<br>
<br>
Also with all the customers in there everyday, you have no idea what
is on those chairs. <br>
<br>
Bedbugs, fleas, ticks, urine, fecal matter, semen, mud, hair grease... <br>
If if it on your clothes or skin, it will be on the chairs.

Are professional theatre actors rich ?

answers1: There are vast, vast amounts of aspiring actors in the
world. So many that, even the most talented actors may never be seen
and won't make a name for themselves. Actors that do, owe this mainly
to luck, being fortunate with connections, and are simply in the right
place in the right time. So in response to your answer, a very small
percentage of actors will make themselves a decent living - but will
spend years of hard work, determination, rejection and unemployment
getting there. Best of luck, BlackCat x
answers2: The vast majority of actors have very little money. Acting
is a very hard field to get into as it has a lot of competition, and
usually pays very little. Theatre actors are never RICH, like a
Hollywood actor, but I suppose the more popular the play the more
money they make. However, no theatre actor is going to be very
wealthy.
answers3: As Mia says - no, most theatre actors are paid very poorly.
When they go around the world to perform, that's usually paid for by
the theatre company they're working for, and their hotel room, food
and travel expenses are taken care of. They stay in small, cheap
hotels, and travel in coaches or whatever the company provides. They
also get a small monthly amount - small compared with when they're
working in movies. <br>
That's why most actors switch between theatre, TV and movies. They
love performing live in theatre, but as it pays comparatively little,
they can't do it for very long. <br>
Of course, serious actors don't care about getting low pay - they
don't act for the financial benefits - they act because they love it.

who here thinks that rap is poetry in motion?

answers1: it is in the expressive movement, that we find poetic rhythm
in rap...the words alone are often very poetic, regardless of the lack
of devices found in structured writing....remove the beat and analyze
the words...there is the test for me
answers2: it is poetry... plain and simple... no argument to the
contrary can be made... but poetry is an umbrella term that extends to
many many many (emphasis on many) different forms and styles... Look
at the stylistic diversity... it extends from slam poetry, to haikus,
to form regid stuff like John Dunne, all the way to the break all
barriers stuff of guys like Ginsberg and E.E. Cummings. Plus the
hundreds of culturally specific distinctions and variations. 150-200
years ago, most of what we now consider "poetry" would not be thought
of as poetry at all, and so the definition is fluid, like with every
art form. <br>
<br>
Now, whether or not you think it is good and has merits is an entirely
different question, one i think you are actually more interested in
answering... but there is no denying that rap is a kind of poetry.
answers3: i think some rap songs are poetry but others arent
answers4: Depends what kind of rap it is. Gangster rap definitely
isn't poetic, but there are other types of rap out there to which the
phrase does apply.
answers5: i dont. i think its noisy, annoying, crap. its all about
drugs and sex and naked woman, how can i be poetry? poetry is about
feeling.
answers6: that's because you are close minded and can't take to try
new things <br>

why can i not find my poems on poetry.com/ Managing Editor/ Howard Eli?

answers1: hard issue. research on bing and yahoo. it can assist!
answers2: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: <br>
<br>
Until recently, the domain name Poetry.com was owned by New Catalyst
Fund[citation needed]. On March 7th, 2009, Lulu.com purchased that
domain from NCF. Publish Today and Noble House Books, the branches of
Poetry.com that managed the publishing and printing of their books,
have gone out of business.[1] <br>
<br>
According to their press release, Lulu has aggressive plans to
completely revamp Poetry.com and bring it under the Lulu brand. The
site will be renamed to Lulu Poetry, and will be targeted to poets who
want to connect with their peers and have access to resources to
receive reviews and feedback on their poetry as well as recognition,
contest prizes and helping them publish their work. <br>
<br>
Poetry.com was previously run by a Maryland-based company called The
International Library of Poetry, also known as the International
Society of Poets and the International Poetry Hall of Fame,[2] This
company was considered by many to be a vanity publisher. Poetry.com
claimed to coordinate monthly poetry contests and other services
through its website, though the actual competitive nature of these
contests was disputed. The site's ostensible primary purpose was
publication of poetry anthologies submitted by aspiring authors, and
invitations to poetry conventions hosted by the group. The Better
Business Bureau of Greater Maryland classified the business as a
vanity publisher, and notes that the quality of the poetry submitted
to them "does not appear to be a significant consideration for
selection for publication."[3]

How to publish my poetry?

answers1: To find places that take poetry submissions you'll need to
find places that print poetry, read them to see what kinds of poetry
they publish and then [and this is the hard part] evaluate yours. <br>
<br>
Poetry doesn't have a huge market (though the amount of poetry being
published is larger than at any time in history), most print
publications are poorly funded or rely on volunteers or students, so
your chances of being paid are slim. I find it interesting the number
of writers who want to be published but do not support those who
publish poetry. How many books of poetry have you purchased in the
last year? How many journals do you subscribe to? What do you do to
advocate for poetry in your community, to make a market, to cause
interest?
answers2: Self publishing is a route to go.
answers3: Start out with self publishing and monitor your response.
Amazon is a good place to start. See link.
answers4: extremely tough situation. do a search on to a search
engine. it can assist!

Easier book of postmodern philosophy?

answers1: "New Philosophies of Social Science: Realism, Hermeneutics
and Critical Theory" <br>
by William Outhwaite
answers2: What Jim said...in spades! <br>
<br>
Before trying to make sense of that stuff, I suggest you do an online
search for the "Sokal Hoax" if after that you're still interested, try
Foucault's' "This Is Not a Pipe" to start.
answers3: Well I hate to break it to you, but obfuscation is a key
component of postmodern stuff. It hides the fact that there is no real
argument in it! <br>
<br>
Having had formal training in philosophy I would suggest you read
something in the analytic tradition. Although the content is difficult
it is intellectually honest and very rewarding. I suggest something
like this: <br>
<br>
http://press.princeton.edu/titles/7630.html <br>
<br>
Volume one has quite a bit of first order logic so I suggest avoiding
it unless you're good at mathematics or have studied computer science.

Does philosophy lack action?

answers1: You might be thinking about a controversy in the history of
philosophy. Karl Marx (often now thought of as an economist - but he
would have called himself a philosopher) wrote in his 'Eleven Theses
on Feuerbach', 'Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world
in various ways; the point is to change it'. <br>
<br>
Essentially, Marx thought that the attempts to discover a timeless
'essence of man' that philosophers of his day were engaged in was
fruitless. Man, and all his ideas, were a product of the economic
system he was born into. To understand this is to want to change the
economic system for the better - so man can be at his best. People
have been arguing ever since whether philosophy needs to have a
practical impact on the world. <br>
<br>
Some people think philosophy is taking a holiday from the world, just
asking random questions that do not change anything. There are
philosophers of whom this would be a valid critique. But these are
bad philosophers. <br>
<br>
Marx certainly changed the world. Reading Heidegger can be a life
changing experience - it can cause you to live your life in a
completely different way. The ancient Stoic philosophers used thought
to find ways to live fearlessly, and with compassion for all those
they met. And the founding father of all philosophy - Socrates used
dialogue to lead people into a state of aporia where their certainty
of who they were and what the world around them was like was utterly
shattered. From this state they could find a newer more authentic and
more truthful identity. People often found this process devastating
as well as highly rewarding. <br>
<br>
Good philosophy changes lives and changes the world - as it changes
the whole way people see themselves and the world. Anything else
isn't worthy of the name.
answers2: Dont believe all you hear. There are different Philosophies.
If philosophy lacked action. Then my days in war would have stopped me
or My solution Triple Output implemented by another nation would not
have turned off Global Warming, but it did, confirmed by our Satelite
reports 11/28/2012. Global Command
answers3: You act according to your philosophy as influenced by your emotions.
answers4: Yes ,you can look up non-volitional action in Taoism
answers5: not really. you can be philosophical while taking action.
answers6: Yes. I don't think there is a Philosopher's Without Borders
group in the world.
answers7: An example would be someone who believes that 2 healthy
intelligent beings would create a healthy intelligent baby. So that
person, if healthy and intelligent goes on the hunt for the same to
create a baby. He puts his philosophy to the test. That's action.
<br>
Putting your philosophies to the test. <br>
If one feels the key to life is to have fun he lives that theory. <br>
If one feels the key to life is to have money, he goes out to do so. <br>
If one feels the key to life is to please God then his life reflects that. <br>
Some people talk the talk but do not necessarily walk the walk.
Philosophy without action. <br>
I am a philosopher of action. I don't sit around and tell people
things that I myself haven't tested or willing to put to the test.

to what extent can philosophy be considered as science?

answers1: Well I think that Yahoo Answers got it right when they put
this section under Arts & Humanities. Science looks more at hard
realities whereas the Humanities are more concered with the intangible
aspects of what it means to be human, just like philosophy looks at
the intangible parts of knowledge.
answers2: I would say that the two are linked as they both emphasize
reason and the search for truth. Philosophy is mroe on the
metaphysical level, while science deals with the physical realm. I
think they both use similar thoguht processes and ideals of truth to
arrive at thier conclussions.
answers3: Philosophy is actually a kind of science; it is a general
science which is interested in everything (mainly) and which pushes
minds to think in order to find answers to all the questions.
answers4: The rational counterpart or anti-thesis to Science is Art
and the Synthesis is Philosophy. Art is skill a certain knowing, while
science is mere love of understanding and philosophy is love of
wisdom. In essence Science is void of intuition and volition, art is
random and it is Philosophy that can explain the practical merits of
either in a neutral fashion. Hence given a argument Art and Science
take turns playing prosecutor and Defense but in the end Philosophy is
always the Judge! <br>
<br>
Note how Plato asserts the highest Government role to Philosophers and
the second role to Artists not Science, but warns that the reason is
Artists are the most dangerous!
answers5: I consider myself a philosopher, and I have great respect
for science. Given this I would never try to argue that the two
intersect. There are a few reasons for this: <br>
<br>
Philosophy doesn't use the scientific method. No hypothesis testing,
no experiments, etc. <br>
<br>
Philosophy doesn't seek to discover or establish laws, it seeks to
discover or establish truth. <br>
<br>
Philosophy isn't necessarily systematically arranged. It certainly can
be, but it doesn't have to be. You can have philosophy without
systematic arrangement. The same can't be said for science. Systematic
arrangment is a necessary condition for science, but not for
philosophy, thus the two can't be the same. <br>
<br>
The closest it comes is if you use the "knowledge as facts or
principles" definition of science, but even this is problematic. You
can certainly discover principles with philosophy, but facts require a
level of objectiveness that philosophy just might not be capable of.
<br>
<br>
If the places where science and philosophy differ, it's my opinion
that the lack of the use of the scientific method really draws the
line. Even the social sciences (political science, sociology, for
example) have seen the necessity of the scientific method, and have
started to use it. Philosophy has not. <br>
<br>
I must qualify all of this: I'm not looking to make a value judgement.
The fact that philosophy is not a science has zero effect on its
usefulness, it simply means that science and philosophy are two
different things. Science doesn't intrinsically mean "good" and not
science doesn't intrinsically mean "bad." They're just different. <br>
<br>
I would assert that philosophy is bigger than science. It can
encompass all things - morality, religion, ethics, even science itself
(there is a whole academic field on the philosophy of science). To me,
philosophy is the consideration of all things, science takes these
things and considers them individually and breaks them apart for
study.
answers6: Philosophy is the most rigorous of sciences - it is the
mathematics of knowledge. It examines the truth, the knowableness and
the means by which we can be certain of everything we think we know.
It is the height of science.
answers7: There's no unified philsophy nor unified science. The two
domains intersect and require each other. And even then its always
discontinuous philosophies meeting disparate sciences. There are no
robust reductions of one to the other or even one type to a glimmering
category. <br>
<br>
Science doesn't always use the scientific method: for instance,
choosing which theory to use, given more than one theory which predict
the same data, there's often institutional disputes, but no empirical
testing. Some sciences can't even use the scientific method because we
cannot observe all the implications of the view, as in any theoretical
physics... <br>
<br>
Philsophy, likewise, doesn't omit the scientific method. The use and
reliance on thought experiment demonstrates this. Instead of searching
the empirical world for actual data that conflicts with a thought
experiment, a philosopher looks for possible counterexamples.
Hypothesis, evidence (in the form of possibilia), conclusion. <br>
<br>
Not to mention the amount of empirical studies that philosophy relies
on-- for example, look at the literature for personal identity.
Without brain bissection as an empirical fact, none of the wild
conclusions follow. Or look at Neural Plasticity as a scientifically
documented phenomenon, and then look at the discussions generated in
the philosophy of mind.
answers8: Everything starts with philosphy. People do things a
certain way based on their philosphy toward it. I would'nt call
philosophy a science more so than a way of life.
answers9: The be conscious technology means wisdom and records of
what's fairly real and conclusions that are based upon unquestionably
evidence and logical reasoning. To the quantity a philosophy adheres
to those concepts in its attention of actuality, it could rightfully
be seen a technology.
answers10: They both involve the systematic search for truth and
encourage a rigorous kind of thinking about the world. And they share
a common origin; instead of having philosophers and scientists, we
used to have mostly "philosophers" who were a combination of both
(like, say, Aritstotle). But philosophy and science today are clearly
separate disciplines. Science is based on physical experimentation;
if there isn't an experiment involved, then what you have probably
isn't science. There's some gray area about things like astronomy,
and other fields where rigorous sorts of observation are used instead
of experimentation, but for the most part, science is a discipline
defined by the process of inductively reasoning from experimental
data. Philosophy is not. <br>
<br>
If you throw mathematics into the lot, this becomes still more
complicated. A lot of important math has been done by philosophers;
look at Leibniz, for example. In the last century, philosophers (like
Wittgenstein) basically created formal logic as we now know it.
Bertrand Russel worked on set theory. It should be noted, as well,
that mathematics is not an experimental discipline (except for the
naturally exceptional case of proof by exhaustion). <br>
<br>
Linguistics, too, has significant overlap with some types of analytic
philosophy. And also to mathematics -- computational linguistics is
an interesting (if arbitrary and confounding) field. <br>
<br>
Psychology and philosophy have also historically overlapped -- Freud,
Jung, and Lacan, all psychologists, are much more important to
critical theorists than they are to psychologists. With the advent of
behavioral psychology, which is a more explicitly scientifically
discipline, psychology and philosophy are drifting apart again. <br>
<br>
At any rate, I've gone on long enough. Suffice it to say that
philosophy is an incredibly broad field which informs and is informed
by any number of other fields. When we can't or don't have
inductively-derived data in any field, philosophy is sometimes what
fills the gap. Are the brain and the mind the same thing? Ask a
philosopher, not a neuroscientist, because there is no experiment that
can tell you the answer. All we can do is think very clearly and
rationally about the question -- and that is what philosophers are
there for. It's not science, but that doesn't mean it's not useful.
