Locus Internal Ramblings of the Wannabe Philosopher

As we pursue isolation and identification of what makes us truly different from other animals, similarities emerge rather than recognizable differences. In this manuscript, we explore many aspects of humanism and the human condition from a brief analysis of the mind-body debate to how expressions of emotions manifest themselves in our behavior, and how value systems formed by our culture affect our perceptions of reality. Locus Internal is a meandering journey in pursuit of explanations and definitions of the human condition filled with digressions and regressions, ultimately tied together by one prevailing underlying theme. The many idiosyncrasies of perception, listening, and reasoning are discussed in defining cognitive psychology along with a brief analysis of communication competence as it relates to language and other forms of communicating thought and emotion.Odell, Franklin D. is the author of 'Locus Internal Ramblings of the Wannabe Philosopher', published 2006 under ISBN 9781424156863 and ISBN 1424156866.
