Wittgenstein’s main concern is not with the construction of any philosophical theory about these mental phenomena. He is concerned with the dissolution of puzzles that arise because of the linguistic misunderstandings about the nature of mental phenomena. Mental phenomena are generally very complex. The words that try to capture mental phenomena do not have clear grammar. Hence, statements describing mental phenomena mislead us. Therefore, linguistic misconceptions or misunderstandings are the main sources of any philosophical problem on the human mind.","PeriodicalId":37926,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Readings","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47730181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data come from the \"insertion\" surveys conducted annually since 2011 in partnership with the National Evaluation Authority attached to the Higher Council for Education, Training and Scientific Research (Morocco). The originality of this work consists in applying, in a first step, a multiple correspondence analysis on 19 competencies. 11 factors generated, accounting for 70.36% of the total inertia, will be integrated, in a second step, into Mincer's wage equation. Results show a positive and significant impact of 16 competencies on wages. \u0000The impact of these factors is greater than that of education. Actually, education turns out to be an “incomplete” indicator of the stock of human capital. Labor market values the mastery of some competencies more than the number of years of study. \u0000Furthermore, the results point out negative and significant coefficients for individuals working in the private sector compared to the public sector. The same negative impact is witnessed for women compared to men.","PeriodicalId":37926,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Readings","volume":"2 1","pages":"521-534"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71019503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This contribution tries, first of all, to explain the Žižekian interpretation of this response as a “metaphysics of the not-all.” According to Žižek, Hegel faces this transcendental challenge, inasmuch as he covers the distance between substance and subject, but in doing so, he demonstrates that their relation has the form of a paradox or that their unity rests on a cleft. Starting from here, the article explains the Žižekian reconstruction of the dialectical movement as a ‘run-in’ in which logos (of the subject) clashes with that (substantial) cleft that transcends it and, nonetheless, proves itself as its innermost core. This ‘run-in’, thus, enlightens the dialectical inversion as a radical overturn, which guarantees the opening of sense. Finally, by translating this linguistic structure into terms of action, this paper makes clear why Žižek defends that for Hegel the failure that essentially belongs to action, and because of which action goes necessarily through the ‘moment zero’ of history, guarantees the capacity action has to rewrite history and open up a new age.","PeriodicalId":37926,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Readings","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46175099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
