Active speaking, listening.

 Active speaking, listening.


​


Listening is the act of listening to others. It is not just listening in a dry way, it is listening to the end, and it is the act of listening to sounds that you do not know or cannot understand.


Listening goes beyond listening to the other person's words and listening to the 'otherness of the other person's words.


Listening to what I don't know, stories I haven't met yet, and stories told in words I don't understand is what listening is.


Dewey says


“To be communicated means to expand and change the experience.”


Listening is what we learn from each other in the process of listening to stories that I have not experienced and have never thought of.


​


Listening is the product of friendship. Only those who are equal can have a friendship.


“If there is no listening, there is no recognition, without recognition, there is no recognition, and without recognition, again listening is null and void”. In this sense, listening can be seen as "an earnest silence that considers the words to be treated properly."


Listening is a proper treatment of words, and it is an active act that provides a certain opportunity to talk about things that have been overlooked and not known through words, rather than just listening to the speaker.


​

Listening means listening to the otherness of others and at the same time opening the door to my otherness through him.


Some say that listening is more important than speaking and humbly say that all they can do is listen. It sounds plausible, but it can't be an arrogant story. This is because, above all else, the answer to the question of what does the listener realize and learn is missing from the phrase “just listening”.


The only person in this world who can hear without any involvement is 'God'.


​


The phrase 'just listen' makes the more positive meaning of listening useless.


Listening is not just about listening intently. It's just passive listening.


In an active sense, listening must be able to “give realistic motivation and motivation to speak.” That is, listening is what leads you to say what you couldn't say, what you didn't say, and what you couldn't say.


Listening is listening to the other's otherness, but that other's also opening the door. In this way, listening has a more active meaning, going beyond the passivity of 'listening' and talking to someone silent so far and allowing him to speak. Listening is literally speaking.


​


Dewey says that the most important thing about listening is that it transforms us from observer to participant and establishes a relationship with the speaker.' For this reason, listening is not just listening, but an active and creative conversation that encourages others to reveal their otherness.

Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity.

 Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity. ​ ​ ​ Each age has its own disease. For example, there is an era that can be said to be bacterial. But this era came to an end, at least with the invention of antibiotics. The beginning of the 21st century can be defined pathologically as neither bacterial nor viral, but rather neurotic. It is an infarct disease, not a contagious disease, and it is a disease caused by an excess of positivity, not the negativity of the immunological other. Therefore, it is by no means governed by immunological techniques aimed at defeating the negativity of others. ​ The last century was the immunological age. In other words, it was an era in which clear boundaries were drawn between the inside and the outside, friends and enemies, and me and others. The essence of immunological behavior is aggression and defense. There is a certain blindness in the essence of these immunological devices that have taken over the entire society from the...

The Truth of Perspectiveism, Maturana.

 The Truth of Perspectiveism, Maturana. "The observer is the source of all things. Without the observer nothing exists. The observer is the basis of all knowledge. The basis of all claims concerning man himself, the world and the universe. The extinction of the observer is the It will mean an end and annihilation, for there will be no one left to perceive, speak, describe or explain." - <<From Being to Doing>> Maturana ​ Someone is watching something. Marurana says this is a fundamental starting point. The person develops a world of his own as he sees it as an observer. If the other person exists as an observer, then the other person's world exists, and as an observer, the world that that person sees also exists. ​ The philosopher Nietzsche, before Maturana, described this as perspectives. If the term perspectives is difficult to describe, you can borrow the term from Maturana and call it 'observers. ​ ​ Snakes are creatures of a different world from human...

active reading.

 active reading. We know more about the world than we used to, and you may still think that knowledge is essential to understanding something. But knowledge is no longer as essential for understanding as one-sided thinking. You don't have to 'know' everything about something to 'understand' it. Too much information can actually be an obstacle to understanding something. The present age is overflowing with facts that prevent us from understanding the correct appearance of things due to a lot of information. ​ One of the most active projects of some of the best intellectuals today is to unite views from an intellectual standpoint. Through the Internet, television, radio, and magazines, people are provided with well-organized resources, from clever persuasion to carefully curated information and statistics, to make 'decisions' with little effort. But with effective packaging, viewers, listeners, and readers are sometimes unable to make their own decisions. As i...
