António Damásio 2004's question

A contribuição de António Damásio está no EDGE.

Damasio's First Law
The body precedes the mind.

Damasio's Second Law
Emotions precede feelings.

Damasio's Second Law
Concepts precede words.

Para quem não conhece a organização, o EDGE propõe que os seus membros respondam à seguinte questão:
WHAT IS YOUR LAW?
Transcrevo aqui o texto para que percebam melhor a ideia...

There is some bit of wisdom, some rule of nature, some law-like pattern, either grand or small, that you've noticed in the universe that might as well be named after you. Gordon Moore has one; Johannes Kepler and Michael Faraday, too. So does Murphy.

Since you are so bright, you probably have at least two you can articulate. Send me two laws based on your empirical work and observations you would not mind having tagged with your name. Stick to science and to those scientific areas where you have expertise. Avoid flippancy. Remember, your name will be attached to your law.

I am asking members of the Edge community to take this project seriously as a public service, to work together to create a document that can be widely disseminated, that can stimulate discussion and the imagination.


O convite à comunidade está feito. Inscrevam-se no site e publiquem a vossa LEI.
