We Have Been Misled by Biology for the Past 80 Years- Denis Noble.

Thank you to Marcin Reutt for bringing this to my attention.

Fantastic weekend with the final year students of the Akademia Osteopathii in Gdansk, Poland. Topics included morphology and metamorphosis, Still’s intuitive consciousness, the development of perception, a brief look at the work of the Polish philosopher Stanisław Leśniewski (pictured) and the mereological fallacy and Dean Falk’s radiator theory of brain development. Emphasis on Charlotte Weaver’s cranial vertebrae as she was directly asked by Still to extend the principles of circulation to the head and finishing weekend with a practical session.

Osteocalcin.

We mentioned this in Kraków, Poland at the
Weekend. Thanks to Martin Reutt for sending me this link. The skeleton defends us from disease and trauma: this is why it’s called osteopathy.

Spent the weekend with an amazing group of students from the Akademia Osteopathii, Kraków. We covered the osteopathic philosophy, history of science, which included perception, phenomenology, hermeneutics, the original osteopathic method, how A. T. Still was able to do what he did, and the history of osteopathy. Ask any of them, how many sciences are there? They know. Great weekend.😁

“No scientific theory is a collection of facts. It will not even do to call a theory true or false in the simple sense in which every fact is either so or not so. The Epicureans held that matter is made of atoms two thousand years ago and we are now tempted to say that their theory was true. But if we do so we confuse their notion of matter with our own. John Dalton in 1808 first saw the structure of matter as we do today, and what he took from the ancients was not their theory but something richer, their image: the atom. Much of what was in Dalton’s mind was as vague as the Greek notion, and quite as mistaken. But he suddenly gave life to the new facts of chemistry and the ancient theory together, by fusing them to give what neither had: a coherent picture of how matter is linked and built up from different kinds of atoms. The act of fusion is the creative act.”

J. Bronowski, Science and Human Values, 1972.

A day out in London. 😎

“Being someone who spent his life grinding lenses and studying optics, Spinoza knew at first hand that both Lucretius’ account of perception and Descartes’ account of perception were mistaken from beginning to end. From this mistake, or mistakes, flowed the errors of metaphysical dualism, and these have haunted British empiricists until the present day. Spinoza knew that perception is a psycho-physical activity, and is not the passive reception of ideas or of ‘lifeless images’.”

Stuart Hampshire, Spinoza and Spinozism, 2005.

Fantastic weekend with the first year of the Akademia Osteopathii, Poznań, Poland 🇵🇱. We covered the original osteopathic philosophy, the original osteopathic methodology, the history of philosophy and science, influenza, and the history of osteopathy. Fabulous questions, for example, what should do to develop osteopathy? Get a stethoscope!! 😁
