Anarchism - Communism free and open-minded pursuit of knowledge; active willingness to spread and share it
Finalism - Instrumentalism amalgamation of ends and means, theory and praxis, ideas and actions


Blocks  (^)

The Courseware consists of four interconnected Blocks:

Textbook themes and topics
Notebook passages and quotations
Toolbook methods and techniques
Biblio references and contents


Sections  (^)

Each of the four blocks of the Courseware comprises materials (text, notes, tools, references) spanning four Sections:

Framework
Research
Design
Planning


Units  (^)

The sections of the Courseware are arranged and presented as a network of interrelated Units focusing mainly on entities and their:

Definitions denomination/differentiation
Classifications categorization/systematization
Functions utilization/finalization

Note
For a further exploration of the topic see Toolbook : Presentation.

 

 

Problem Dealing  (^)

 

 

Problem Dealing  (^)

Problem Dealing, the activity of Problemistics, is concerned with:

Problem Framing
Problem Finding
Problem Solving
Problem Acting


Dimensions  (^)

The activities of Problem Dealing are characterized by a series of Dimensions concerning the relation between the human being (Problem Dealer) and the felt dissatisfaction (Problem).

These Dimensions refer to the following aspects:

Emotive feeling, wishing
Cognitive thinking, knowing
Volitive willing, doing


Qualities  (^)

Problem Dealing requires certain Qualities, i.e. attitudes and aptitudes, on the part of the Problem Dealer.

These Qualities can be grouped under the following labels:

Thrill emotive dimension i.e. enthusiasm, empathy
Skill cognitive dimension i.e. creativity, consistency
Will volitive dimension i.e. patience, perseverance


Spheres  (^)

Problem Dealing takes place in the various Spheres of life experience.
These Spheres are generally referred to as:

Biosphere nature and environment
Sociosphere individuals and groups
Technosphere tools and artifacts


Purposes  (^)

Problem Dealing has two main purposes:

Specific Purpose disposal of the Problem
General Purpose development of Well-Being

 

 

Well-Being  (^)

 

 

Well-Being  (^)

Well-Being is a dynamic condition characterized by:

Wisdom knowledge of reality and mastery in relating to it
Wealth freedom, richness and meaningfulness of choices
Health biosocial (environment) and psychophysical (person) soundness


Wisdom  (^)

Wisdom is appropriate understanding and judgement of reality, based on deep Knowledge that reaches the core and essence of reality.

Remark
Wisdom emerges in the process of Research (Problem Finding) as a result of the search for Knowledge that might elucidate the source and nature of a Problem with which a human being is confronted.


Wealth  (^)

Wealth is freedom, richness and meaningfulness of choices and is not to be confused with abundance of material goods (affluence).

Remark
Wealth emerges in the process of Design (Problem Solving) as a result of the shaping of Solutions to a continuous series of Problems with which the human being is confronted.


Health  (^)

Health is biosocial (environment) and psychophysical (person) soundness and is not to be mistaken for simple lack of social ills or absence of physical/mental illness.

Remark
Health emerges in the process of Planning (Problem Acting) as a result of the actuation of Solutions to Problems with which the human being is confronted.
