John Russon
Russon is known for his original philosophical contributions, and also for his scholarly interpretations of G.W.F. Hegel, Contemporary Continental Philosophy and Ancient Philosophy.
[edit] Original Philosophy
Russon is known as an original philosopher, primarily through his books Human Experience: Philosophy, Neurosis and the Elements of Everyday Life and Bearing Witness to Epiphany. Leonard Lawlor describes Russon as “one of the few original voices working in Continental Philosophy today.”[1] Human Experience, which won the 2005 Broadview Press/Canadian Philosophical Association Book Prize, brought together themes from Hegel, Contemporary Continental Philosophy and Ancient Philosophy, and produced an original interpretation of the development of personal identity.[2] In this work Russon argues that the experiences through which we are inaugurated into any distinctive domain of meaning necessarily leave the stamp of their specific (and contingent) character on our subsequent experiences in that domain. He uses this notion to interpret the significance of family experience in the formation of personal identity, and he finds this aspect of our experience to be the key to understanding mental health (and mental illness).[3] Russon’s approach to mental health—in particular his interpretation of neurosis—is specially striking for its bringing together of the theme of embodiment that has been prominent in existential phenomenology with the theme of dialectical self-transformation that is prominent in the philosophy of Hegel[4] and with the theme of the “system” of family life that is prominent in the work of such psychologists and family theorists as Salvador Minuchin, R.D. Laing and D.W. Winnicott.[5] This work is also important for its use of these ideas to criticize the “individualist” premises of much political and economic theory,[6] and to develop of a political theory of multiculturalism.[7] His interpretation of the dynamic and transformative role of sexuality (eros) provides an important link between his work and the philosophy of Plato. The importance of sexuality to personal development, and especially its relationship to ethical life and to artistic creativity is further explored in Bearing Witness to Epiphany, his most recent work. Like Human Experience, this work stands out for its emphasis on the way that the important dimensions of our experience are embodied in the most basic material dimensions of our lives—everyday “things” and basic bodily practices—and this work thus offers a new metaphysics of “the thing” and of reality in general, arguing that issues of metaphysics cannot be separated from issues of ethics.

Now that is funny.
Someone forgot ‘writing in English on the Internet’.
That gets negative percentage so it wouldn’t work with this chart.
Chance of understanding the concept of percentage and knowing that you can’t have a negative percent- 0%
It’s called “anti-percentage”.
But you never want to combine percentage with anti-percentage. the Universe would end.
You divided by zero?

More like “Text Messaging ANYONE, Ever.”
My spelling is almost perfect in all of the above cases except the last one, which never occurs. When it comes to texting in general though, my spelling is the same as in any other case.
Mine, as well.
Word should be 90% hasn’t anybody seen this?

I can’t type on those damn little keyboards anyway. BTW, Mozilla does spelling correction in most browser Windows. Very handy.
In Portuguese this graph fails a little. There is a new agreement for spelling in portuguese that was simply ignored in Word (hope they include it in Office 2010). So, it is about 90%.
There should have been a “Handmade Picket Sign” category.
…I have correct spelling AND Grammar in all those. What’re you talking ’bout? Seriously. I will use up to five texts cause I refuse to use those ugly “u” and crap. It’s horrible seeing the English language be used like that, and *I* am still in highschool thank you. I have another friend who uses at least most correct spelling. I’ve corrected her on “disappear” I don’t know how many times. It doesn’t have two s’.
