Recent understanding of human ecosystems and of human impact on the biosphere have led to a link between the notion of sustainability with the " co-evolution " 1994 and harmonization of cultural and biological evolution.

For example, in a letter to the rector of Freiburg University of November 4, 1945, Heidegger, inspired by Jünger, tries to explain the notion of “ God is dead ” as the “ reality of the Will to Power .” Heidegger also praises Jünger for defending Nietzsche against a too biological or anthropological reading during the Third Reich.

# Processes: A process is a more specific notion than workflow and can apply to physical or biological processes, for instance.

The historico-political discourse analyzed by Michel Foucault in Society Must Be Defended ( 1975 – 76 ) considered truth as the fragile product of a historical struggle, first conceptualized under the name of " race struggle " — however, " race "' s meaning was different from today's biological notion, being closer to the sense of " nation " ( distinct from nation-states ; its signification is here closer to " people ").

Loyalties may be constructed upon the basis of unalterable facts that constitute a personal connection between the subject and the object of the loyalty, including loyalties based upon biological ties, or upon place of birth ( a notion of natural allegiance propounded by Socrates in his political theory ).

Thus, it encouraged biological fathers to reject not only the notion of an obligation to marry the mother but also the very idea of a paternal obligation.

It remains a popular notion among those who believe that toxic waste and maintenance problems of direct solar energy devices can ultimately be overcome, or that yields of passive or biological means of gathering and using this energy as biofuels can be made to approximate those of fossil fuels.

These scientists made three claims about race: first, that races are objective, naturally occurring divisions of humanity ; second, that there is a strong relationship between biological races and other human phenomena ( such as forms of activity and interpersonal relations and culture, and by extension the relative material success of cultures ), thus biologizing the notion of " race ", as Foucault demonstrated in his historical analysis ; third, that race is therefore a valid scientific category that can be used to explain and predict individual and group behavior.

Although there was a strong notion of race as cultural instead of biological, there were still scientists such as Egon Freiherr von Eickstedt, Stanley Marion Garn, and Jan Czekanowski who continued in their taxonomic endeavor to count the number of races and to name them.

He was also known for his endorsement of eugenics and biological determinism, adding to this theory that it was equally natural for members of a genetic group to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others of the same group, thus attacking the criticism that the notion of sacrifice makes this theory inapplicable to humanity.

The notion that hormesis is a widespread or important phenomenon in biological systems is not widely accepted.

The notion of `` inspiration '' is somehow cognate to this feeling.

The Aristotelian notion of catharsis, the purging of emotion, is a persistent and viable one.

The idea here is one of discharge but this must stand in opposition to a second view, Plato's notion of the arousal of emotion.

This is given some expression in Beardsley's notion of harmony and the resolution of indecision.

And there is one other point in the Poetics that invites moral evaluation: Aristotle's notion that the distinctive function of tragedy is to purge one's emotions by arousing pity and fear.

I refer to the notion that the structure of society is a microcosm of the cosmic design and that history conforms to patterns of justice and chastisement as if it were a morality play set in motion by the gods for our instruction.

That notion is fantastically wrong-headed from several points of view.

The notion of philosophy as Queen Bee may fit well with authoritarian modes of political ideology, but it has been noted that the price of such an imperial notion of philosophy is the frustration and flagellation of the social sciences.

The threadbare notion that belief, unlike behaviour, is not subject to objective analysis, has placed intuitive metaphysics squarely against the sociology of knowledge, since it is precisely the job of the sociology of knowledge to treat beliefs as social facts no less viable than social behaviour.

These cases, for all their rarity, are so dramatic that friends and relations repeat the story until the general population may get an entirely false notion of how often the hymen is a serious problem to newly-weds.

It is a notion which contains a gratuitous insult, implying, as it does, that Negroes can make no move unless they are manipulated.

( Pp. 228-229 ) in any event, it is obvious that the anti-trust laws did not prevent the formation of some of the greatest financial empires the world has ever known, held together by some of the most fantastic ideas, all based on the fundamental notion that a corporation is an individual who can trade and exchange goods without control by the government ''.

Still, the notion of altruism is modified in such a world-view, since the belief is that such a practice promotes our own happiness: " The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes " ( Dalai Lama ).

Thus, the only logical possibilities are to accept non-Euclidean geometry as physically real, or to reject the entire notion of physical tests of the axioms of geometry, which can then be imagined as a formal system without any intrinsic real-world meaning.

The notion of objects as real is not expelled by phenomenology, but " bracketed " as a way in which we regard objects instead of a feature that inheres in an object's essence founded in the relation between the object and the perceiver.

Rather than invite such skepticism, Fichte made the radical suggestion that we should throw out the notion of a noumenal world and instead accept the fact that consciousness does not have a grounding in a so-called " real world ".

There is no scientifically precise definition of genius, and the question of whether the notion itself has any real meaning has long been a subject of debate.

The Hausdorff dimension generalizes the notion of the dimension of a real vector space.

However, he used the notion of an aether as a perfectly undetectable medium and distinguished between apparent and real time, so most historians of science argue that he failed to invent special relativity.

Non-reductive materialism explicitly rejects this notion, however, taking the material constitution of all particulars to be consistent with the existence of real objects, properties, or phenomena not explicable in the terms canonically used for the basic material constituents.

Sometimes the notion of suburb may even refer to people in real misery, who are kept at the limit of the city borders for economic, social, and sometimes ethnic reasons.

A measure on X is a function which assigns a real number to subsets of X ; this can be thought of as making precise a notion of " size " or " volume " for sets.

For example the axiom of choice implies that when the size under consideration is the ordinary notion of length for subsets of the real line, then there exist sets for which no size exists, for example, the Vitali sets.

A key notion in the work of the Frankfurt School since Dialectic of Enlightenment had been the idea of thought becoming an instrument of domination that subsumes all objects under the control of the ( dominant ) subject, especially through the notion of identity, i. e. of identifying as real in nature and society only that which harmonized or fit with dominant concepts, and regarding as unreal or non-existent everything that did not.

The Cauchy – Schwarz inequality allows one to extend the notion of " angle between two vectors " to any real inner product space, by defining:

The Cauchy – Schwarz inequality proves that this definition is sensible, by showing that the right hand side lies in the interval, and justifies the notion that ( real ) Hilbert spaces are simply generalizations of the Euclidean space.

For functions on the real line, the Henstock integral is an even more general notion of integral ( based on Riemann's theory rather than Lebesgue's ) that subsumes both Lebesgue integration and improper Riemann integration.

The response to the imagined scenario is supposed to tell us about the nature of that notion in any scenario, real or imagined.

DiCaprio, the first actor to be cast in the film, was " intrigued by this concept — this dream-heist notion and how this character's gonna unlock his dreamworld and ultimately affect his real life.
