The method to be used is a mixed method, qualitative and quantitative. Quantitative approach was used to identify, describe the frequencies, and classify the methods of defining terms. In interpreting and explaining the types of method to be used, the writer used qualitative approach. In qualitative approach, data were described in the form of words and explanation. The findings show that there were two methods of defining terms, dictionary approach and athoritative reference. Terminology Blaise Nkwenti Sead Spuzic Eurasia Review Mohamed Chtatou Terminology is the field of lexicology (or the study of lexicon) that deals with specialized vocabularies and sets of terms related to particular fields (aviation terminology, medical terminology, stylistics, agriculture, etc.). Terminology as a new academic field is located at the boundary among linguistics, logic, theory of existence, information science and specialized areas of science and technology, and in the interdisciplinary area. Erikas Kupciunas During the past several decades, the theory of terminology has been a subject of debates in various circles. The views on terminology as a scientific discipline vary considerably. Currently, there are a number of treatments of this field and a number of debatable questions involved. Is terminology a science, or just a practice? does terminology have a status of separate scholarly discipline with its own theory or does it owe its theoretical assumptions to more consolidated disciplines?

![is consciousness real? a planet with stars and a galaxy](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/adobestock-733979255-65fb23c29b5e8.jpeg?crop=0.913xw:1.00xh;0.0449xw,0&resize=768:*) Human Consciousness Is an Illusion, Scientists SayThe entire universe may have an internal mind—or the whole idea of consciousness could be a sham. Here’s why scientists still can’t agree. The concept of panpsychism has been around for hundreds of years. Italian philosopher Francesco Patrizi coined the term in the late 16th century. He combined the Greek words παν (pronounced “pan,” and meaning everything) and ψυχή (psyche, meaning “soul” or “mind”) to describe a distinctive soulfulness inherent to each and every order of creation. The idea dates back even further, though, to ancient Greece, when astronomer, mathematician, and pre-Socratic philosopher Thales said “that everything is full of gods,” and one of the world’s best-studied philosophers, Plato, said that the world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence. In the 19th century, panpsychism took off in the West, championed by the likes of the great philosopher of pessimism, Arthur Schopenhauer, and the father of modern psychology, William James. Then came the philosophical movement that emerged in Vienna, Italy, in the 1920s, called logical positivism: the idea that scientific knowledge—empirically proven knowledge—was the only kind of acceptable knowledge, the rest being metaphysical mumbo-jumbo. It was game over for panpsychism. Until recently. The inability of empirical sciences to figure out why and how matter gives rise to the experiences of consciousness has recently rekindled an interest in panpsychism. So have developments in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and quantum physics. In 2004, Italian neuroscientist and psychiatrist Giulio Tononi, Ph.D., proposed the integrated information theory of consciousness, which says that consciousness is widespread and can be found even in some simple systems. In his article in Scientific American , leading American neuroscientist Christof Koch, Ph.D., bashed materialism and its view of emerging consciousness 10 years later. The notion of subjective feelings springing from physical stuff is at odds with a commonly applied axiom in philosophy and modern science: the “ ex nihilo nihil fit ,” or that “out of nothing, nothing comes, ” Koch wrote . He argued that elementary particles either have some charge, or they have none; similarly, where there are organized lumps of matter, consciousness follows. .css-2l0eat{font-family:UnitedSans,UnitedSans-roboto,UnitedSans-local,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-size:1.625rem;line-height:1.2;margin:0rem;padding:0.9rem 1rem 1rem;}@media(max-width: 48rem){.css-2l0eat{font-size:1.75rem;line-height:1;}}@media(min-width: 48rem){.css-2l0eat{font-size:1.875rem;line-height:1;}}@media(min-width: 64rem){.css-2l0eat{font-size:2.25rem;line-height:1;}}.css-2l0eat b,.css-2l0eat strong{font-family:inherit;font-weight:bold;}.css-2l0eat em,.css-2l0eat i{font-style:italic;font-family:inherit;} “Consciousness doesn’t exist, and we only think it does because we are under a sort of illusion about our own minds.” Not everyone agrees though. Keith Frankish, Ph.D., a professor of philosophy at the University of Sheffield, believes today’s panpsychism is in a “metaphysical limbo,” a direct result of what he calls the “ depsychologization of consciousness .” This means that we try to grasp consciousness through what our senses perceive or through our immediate experiences, and that we refuse to acknowledge it as a psychological function. “The thought is that, if consciousness is not essentially connected to brain processes, then there’s no reason to think it must be restricted to brains . Maybe everything has a little inner glow to it, ” Frankish says. But it is exactly this view that tends to undermine the significance of consciousness. “If my consciousness makes no difference to how I react, why should I or anyone else care about it?” he asks. Frankish proposes a mirror image of panpsychism. “Whereas panpsychists think that consciousness is everywhere, I think that consciousness—of the non-functional, inner glow kind—is nowhere,” he explains. “Consciousness doesn’t exist, and we only think it does because we are under a sort of illusion about our own minds, a view I call illusionism,” he continues. In other words, we humans have vastly extended the power of our biological brains and, through powerful tricks like self-manipulation or solid problem-solving skills, we have convinced ourselves we have a unified, conscious mind, a self, a soul—but it’s all an illusion, according to Frankish. But illusionism is a view antithetical to what well-known biologist and author Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D., believes. For Sheldrake, it’s an irrefutable fact that not only do we humans have consciousness, but the whole galaxy has consciousness, too. Sheldrake is best known for his hypothesis of morphic resonance, a process through which self-organizing systems (picture termite colonies or insulin molecules) inherit a memory from previous, similar systems. Similar organisms share mysterious telepathic interconnections, and species share collective memories: this is how your dog foretells when you’re coming home and why you feel awkward when someone is staring at you, according to Sheldrake. In a paper he published in the Journal of Consciousness Studies in 2021, Sheldrake asked “Is the sun conscious?” For him, it most certainly is. “Consciousness does not need to be confined to brains,” Sheldrake says. “The link between minds and physical systems seems to be through rhythmic electromagnetic fields, which of course are present in our brains. They are also present in and around the sun, and these could be the interface between the solar mind and the body of the sun.” So, if the sun is conscious, it’s likely to be aware of activities within the solar system, continues Sheldrake, including here on Earth, and also of its relationship with other stars within the galaxy and the galaxy as a whole. Perhaps it’s a matter of personal positioning in the world. Is nothing around me conscious? Is everything around me conscious? If the latter is true, where does my consciousness end and yours begin, and why is an intact brain conscious, whereas the same brain, pureed to goo inside a blender, is not ( as Koch ponders )? Will we ever know? No wonder scientists describe consciousness as the granddaddy of all mysteries of human behavior. If you subscribe to the panpsychist view, however, you may be startled to know that the conscious sun makes choices. “It may be able to choose in which direction to send out solar flares or coronal mass ejections, which can have an enormous effect on life on Earth, and to which our technologies are very vulnerable,” Sheldrake says. ![Headshot of Stav Dimitropoulos Headshot of Stav Dimitropoulos](https://hips.hearstapps.com/rover/profile_photos/3982ef5c-4a25-489d-884c-34bf21f33bc2_1560194184.file?fill=1:1&resize=120:*) Stav Dimitropoulos’s science writing has appeared online or in print for the BBC, Discover, Scientific American, Nature, Science, Runner’s World, The Daily Beast and others.

It’s summer solstice time. What does that mean?by: ADITHI RAMAKRISHNAN, Associated Press Posted: Jun 19, 2024 / 06:00 AM PDT Updated: Jun 19, 2024 / 06:00 AM PDT DALLAS (AP) — It’s time for the start of summer — with a full moon to boot. Here’s what to know about the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere on Thursday. What is the summer solstice?The Earth spins on a tilt as it revolves around the sun. The summer solstice occurs for Earth’s upper half when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted most closely toward the sun. This also marks the longest day and shortest night of the year. Around the same time, the Southern Hemisphere is at its most extreme tilt away from the sun, entering winter solstice and its shortest day of the year. Six months later, the halves will switch it up: The Northern Hemisphere will experience a winter solstice, and the Southern Hemisphere will have a summer solstice. What is an equinox?Equinoxes mark the start of spring and autumn, and happen when Earth’s axis and orbit line up such that both hemispheres get an equal amount of sunlight. The vernal equinox on March 19 kicked off spring, and the autumnal equinox on Sept. 22 will usher in fall. What is the strawberry moon?This year’s summer solstice comes with a treat: the first full moon of the summer, coined the strawberry moon. The moon won’t be pink or red in color: Its name comes from several Indigenous tribes who noticed that its timing coincided with the strawberry harvest. On Friday evening, cast your eyes to the southeast to glimpse the full moon peeking above the horizon.
