A one-year longitudinal study of changes in neuroticism and intelligence, as measured by a figural reasoning test, was conducted with 14 high school students who learned the Transcendental Meditation technique and six controls. Students who practiced Transcendental Meditation regularly (N = 7) decreased significantly in neuroticism (p <.OJ), while irregular meditators (N = 7) and nonmeditating ...

(not quite the final printed version) Amartya Sen's book The Idea of Justice provides a magisterial and accessible survey of many of the themes he has explored and the insights he has developed since his first contributions to moral philosophy and the theory of justice in the 1960s.

The skin resistance of ten subjects was recorded every 20 seconds for four 20-minute periods of resting, reading, listening to music, or practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique. In eight out of the ten cases the highest single value of skin resistance occurred during the period of meditation. The increase in skin resistance was significantly greater during Transcendental Meditation t...

We prove a value distribution result which has several interesting corollaries. Let k ∈ N, let α ∈ C and let f be a transcendental entire function with order less than 1/2. Then for every nonconstant entire function g, we have that (f ◦ g) −α has infinitely many zeros. This result also holds when k = 1, for every transcendental entire function g. We also prove the following result for normal fa...

Abstract:About whether Islamic philosophy can play a role in the production of humanities?

And on the other hand, there are ideas that incor-porate the teachings of Islamic philosophy into paradigmatic elements for the produc-tion of a new type of human science. In...
