Topic: Jan Cox (philosopher)


  
  Jan Cox (philosopher) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jan’s own system was based on a singular mapping of the human nervous system and its relation to life and consciousness, expanded through a hands-on practical approach to overcoming mechanical thought and behavior in everyday life.
Jan was the impetus behind Evotek Theater in the Buckhead entertainment district of Atlanta from 1986 to 1990.
Jan Cox was a man compelled by Life to reveal Life, and Life is not what you think it is. His own life was spent in detailing myriad paths of escape from routine mechanical, structural, reactionary thinking.

 Sverak, Zanussi, Schultz, and Cox Screen New Films in Tokyo
Whether it be for art, political expression, in love, or to travel, many of the films here seem to be about celebrating the will and identity of the individual human spirit.
Jan Sverak's "Kolya" and Krzysztof Zanussi's "In Full Gallop" are superb - wise, mature and very funny - movies revealing the pain and absurdity of life under Soviet rule in Czechoslovakia and Poland.
Alex Cox, the creator of the classically cult "Repo Man", originally made the film for BBC Television in the UK, but its stylistic bravura was recognised and with money in place, the original 55-minute film was extended to further illuminate the multi-layered plot.

 Trial of Socrates
As told in Plato's Apology — one of the best-known works of Greek philosophy and literature — the Trial of Socrates was a dramatic court case that led to the death of Socrates, the Greek philosopher.
Socrates's reasoning and philosophy, and the questions they raised — not only about ephemeral things but also political, moral, and legal matters — drew the ire of the leaders of the Athenian polis who feared he was leading the young people of Athens astray.
This composition inspired Jan Cox for two paintings (1952, 1979) on the theme of Socrates' death.

 ARTSTAMPS_C
In the years before the February Revolution in 1848 (where king Louis-Philippe "the Citizen King" abdicated) Courbet took part in the growing interest in social problems, and he was attached to the philosopher Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (one of the great socialist theorists), and the writer Émile Zola (a major figure in the political liberalization of France).
He was born in the Hague, the Netherlands, throughout his life Cox suffered from recurrent depressions, presumably the reason why he committed suicide, he died in Antwerp, Belgium.
