Thinking Critically About Critical Thinking: Critical Evaluation of Contemporary Ideology of Critical Thinking.2018 •
Today almost everyone agrees that critical thinking is an unquestionable good, therefore primary schools, high schools and universities should do more to foster this skill. There are so many critical thinkers but – paradoxically – almost none of them thinks critically about critical thinking. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to critically evaluate contemporary ideology of critical thinking. Contemporary critical thinking is the product of technological and digital paradigms of thinking. Therefore, already on itself it is a part of a problem which we tend to solve itself with. Often it is presented as the aim of education – to become a critical thinker – but in its best it can just be a very limited tool to achieve its goal. Some people understand critical thinking as an ability to disapprove of everything – a kind of modern sophistry. Critical thinking is too naïve in its belief that it could in itself create a new knowledge, forgetting other more fundamental sources of knowledge, like understanding and creative thinking. It is too close to modern rationalistic ideology which believes that pure reason is the only way to knowledge. Therefore, some feminist scholars criticize it because it doesn’t consider specific woman’s way of thinking. It is also too individualistic and it neglects dialog and cooperation with others, as first ancient critical thinkers suggested. It’s too idealistic, too virtual and hypothetical, often out of real, physical world. Finally, it is still a big question if it is possible to teach and learn it. As this paper will show, critical thinking alone doesn’t have such redeeming power as many are convinced. However, after identifying some problems of critical thinking, it is possible to make some corrections to it, so critical thinking could serve as a holistic human education.
Deep Learning
DEEP LEARNING2020 •
Deep learning is also known as neural learning or deep neural networks. It is an Artificial Intelligence function that emulates a human brain's operation in processing data and creating patterns to make a decision. It is a discipline in machine learning which can progressively extract higher-level details from massive raw data and abstract relevant information to be used. Deep learning is applied in various fields today, dramatically improving people's lives in this digital era. It is applied where big data, unstructured or unlabelled, is used. These are just some of the fields deep learning has impacted: cancer diagnosis, self-driving cars, predictive forecasting, speech recognition, visual recognition, fraud detection, adding sounds to silent movies, automatic handwriting generation, automatic transition, natural language processing, and many others.
He escuchado durante muchas horas entrevistas terapéuticas grabadas y he procurado hacerlo con toda la ingenuidad de que soy capaz. Me he esforzado por absorber todos los indicios reveladores del proceso que pude detectar, todos los elementos que inciden significativamente en el cambio. Luego he tratado de glosar, a partir de esas sensaciones, las abstracciones más sencillas que permitieran describirlas. En esta tarea he recibido el estímulo y la colaboración del pensamiento de muchos colegas, entre los que quisiera mencionar especialmente a Eugene Gendlin, William Kirtner y Fred Zimring, cuya conocida capacidad de pensar de manera original acerca de estos asuntos me ha sido sumamente útil, y en quienes me he inspirado muy a menudo. (Carl. R. Rogers) 1. Llegué a la psicoterapia cuando estaba finalizando mi doctorado en filosofía. Carl Rogers me admitió en su 'practicum'. Pensó que un filósofo podría aportar algo distinto. Sólo me preguntó si yo pensaba que era una persona obtusa en relación con la gente, como carente de sensibilidad con relación a las personas. (Esto era algo que él había observado en algunos filósofos). Le contesté: 'No, no creía que fuera así, ya que la gente solía acercarse a mí y contarme sus problemas a todas horas; sólo quería poder ayudarlos'. En todos estos años –desde aquel día-siempre que cometo un error particularmente estúpido durante la terapia, todavía sigo diciéndome a mí mismo: 'tal vez sea un obtuso total, un torpe de tomo y lomo...' Pero sé que fui lo suficientemente afortunado como para ser una persona sensitiva y lo suficientemente removida interiormente, como para ser capaz de sentir junto a las personas que hablan desde ese lugar más intrincado y complejo en donde las soluciones simplistas ya no sirven para nada. (Eugene T. Gendlin). 2

XERAFINS, TANGAS, BAZARUCOS: A MOEDA NO ESTADO DA ÍNDIA NOS SÉCULOS XVI E XVII 12024 •
The conquest of Goa and the formation of the State of India were accompanied by the establishment of a particular monetary zone, differentiated from the regime of the currency of Portugal and based on the translation and use of local species that had extrinsic value endorsed by the delegated powers. The Portuguese thus overlapped and used an ancient Indian monetary tradition. In addition to the creation of Mints and monetary workshops that coined pieces of gold, silver and copper, with values referenced to the Portuguese monetary standard (the real), the functioning of this monetary zone also depended on the activity of the xaraffo (from the Arabic ṣ the) or sarrafo (in the Portuguese version), as these moneychangers were called, specialists in the testing and exchange of coins, who were found in all fairs and markets. In this text, in addition to understanding the formation of this specific zone of the monetary system of the Portuguese Empire, we want to highlight the role played by these intermediaries of the currency (sarrafos).

Eclatant à répétition au plus bas des courbes de pratique comme un chapelet de bombes incendiaires, les révélations sur les abus sexuels dans l'Eglise pourraient bien finir par achever ce qu'il reste de catholicisme en France, à commencer par son recrutement
