Details

Sixth augmented edition Arnold Cornelis (1934 - 1999) was a cultural philosopher, epistemology theorist and author. He obtained his PhD in philosophy at the University of Ghent, with a dissertation entitled 'Society as a learning process'. He taught philosophy and social theory of knowledge at the universities of Ghent, Groningen and Amsterdam and he also held the chair for social theory of knowledge and science at the Faculty of Economic, Social and Political Sciences of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Main work: His main work The Logic of Feeling tells about the layers of stability in culture as the nesting place of emotions. In this comprehensive book, Cornelis reports on more than twenty years of research. In his theory he sees the individual as well as society going through three phases in which the logic of feeling must always be able to settle in order not to fall into a developmental stagnation. He gives man as well as society the wheel again in the form of feeling in order to be able to give direction and meaning to our existence. As a child we went through a natural system where security and love gave meaning to our existence, we find safety in the mother in the natural system that is characterized by the family. In adolescence we end up in the new world of the social rule system, here we come into contact with new ways of survival and our existence takes on a new meaning. Rationality governs this system and we must therefore be able to sustain ourselves in the rough world outside the family. Now we as a society are at the foot of a new layer of stability; the communicative system. In our personal life, this transition is characterized by the midlife crisis that not everyone survives unscathed. Other works: The Delayed Time and Rests of the Mind. Both of these works are a continuation of his main work focused on the individual. In De delayed time, Cornelis indicates how we can delay our internal time compared to external time. The book advocates the emancipation of the mind. Education: Arnold Cornelis outlines in his books guidelines for organizations in the field of education, but also the business community of the future. He describes a new way of learning and teaching that we are now seeing more and more emerging in educational systems such as Elkewijs and democratic schools. Regular education is also increasingly innovating in the direction of Cornelis' ideas. He stands for education in which the self-direction of the student is paramount. In the new stability layer of the communicative system, truth is transformed into the emancipatory capacity for communicative resilience. This points to the great importance of the learning process of one's own identity. The cultural environment must be highly responsive, that is to say that part of the own identity can be communicated in the environment. For example, when you paint the walls of your house, you place part of your identity in the social structure of your environment. The computer is an example of an environment that is highly responsive.
