  1. Reflexive modernization

    nofootnotes date January 2010 The concept of reflexive modernization was launched by a joint effort of three of the leading European sociologists Anthony Giddens , Ulrich Beck and Scott Lash . The introduction of this concept served a double purpose to reassess sociology as a science of the present, since most sociological work was still using the dated conceptual framework of the beginning of the twentieth century and, also to provide a counterbalance to the postmodernist paradigm Jean Fran ois Lyotard , Jean Baudrillard , etc. , offering a constructive view instead of the deconstructive postmodern theory, building upon previous notions such as postindustrial society Daniel Bell and Post materialism postmaterial society Ronald Inglehart . This new paradigm was also embraced by sociologists such as Zygmunt Bauman and Pippa Norris . The main thesis deals with the changes brought on by the realisation of modernity s ideals, such as universal suffrage and education, the welfare state , civil rights , changes that marked the shift to the second modernity. The authors consider it a reflexive modernity because it opposes its earlier version, the same as the first modernity opposed feudal traditionalism. As a consequence, the institutions of the first modernity are beginning to crumble in the face of Economic globalization economic and cultural globalization .

  1. Reflexive antagonism

    orphan date July 2009 Reflexive Antagonism is the phenomenon by which muscle s with opposing functions tend to antagonistic ally inhibit each other. When one muscle is activated, its opposite muscle or muscle group is reflex ively inhibited or deactivated. Description The phenomenon is now known to be fleeting, incomplete, and weak. By example, when the triceps brachii is stimulated, the biceps is reflexively inhibited. The incompleteness of the effect is related to postural and functional tone. Also, reflexes in vivo are polysynaptic , with entire muscle groups responding to noxius stimuli Nociceptive Withdrawal Reflex . Reflexive antagonism is the basic original notion behind indirect muscle energy techniques. While this notion is now understood to be incomplete, the clinical mechanism of Reflexive Antagonism continues to be useful in widespread Osteopathic and OMT derived practice. Reciprocal Inhibition is a synonym. See Entry under Muscle Energy Techniques Techniques Techiques that utilize reflexive antagonism, such as Rapid De Afferentation Techniques are manual medicine techniques and Medical guideline protocols that utilize reflexive pathways and the phenomenon of reciprocal inhibition as a means of switching off inflammation, pain, and protective spasm for entire synergistic muscle groups or singular muscles and soft tissue structures.

This is usually contrasted with Dualism Substance Dualism , the view found for example in the writings of Plato and Descartes that, fundamentally, the universe is composed of two kinds of stuff, physical stuff and the stuff of soul , mind or consciousness . Reflexive Monism , a philosophical position developed by Max Velmans to account for the problems of consciousness in his book Understanding Consciousness , is a modern version of an ancient view that the basic stuff of which the universe is composed has the potential to manifest both physically and as conscious experience a dual aspect theory in the tradition of Spinoza . In its evolution from some primal undifferentiated state, the universe differentiates into distinguishable physical entities, at least some of which have the potential for conscious experience, such as human being s. While remaining embedded within and dependent on the surrounding universe and composed of the same fundamental stuff, each human, equipped with perceptual and cognition cognitive systems has an individual perspective on, or view of, both the rest of the universe and him or her self. In this sense, each human participates in a process whereby the universe differentiates into parts and becomes conscious in manifold ways of itself, making the entire process reflexive.
