Consciousness dualists argue that materialism is false because of the conceivability of zombie which has no consciousness. The argument from conceivability applies to consciousness asymmetrically with $Water=H_2O$ whose identity was already established. However I think that argument is unsound because asymmetric application Is implausible. First, the metaphysical sap between water and $H_2O$ must be filled not by conceptual analysis, but by empirical methods: the neuroscientific developments will fill the metaphysical gap of consciousness. Second, consciousness dualists said it is illusion when we seem to conceive of $H_2O$ without water, but it is not illusion when we conceive the tumble with no consciousness. I argue it is also illusion in the case of latter. So two cases must be concerned equally.

A posteriori physicalists criticize non-physicalist arguments based on the framework of two-dimensional semantics. Most of them argue for physicalism based on the analogy between scientific identity statements and psychophysical identity statements. This paper argues for another version of aposteriori physicalism, so called physicalism employing 'phenomenal concept strategy' or 'exceptionalist strategy', which appeals to merely the nature of phenomenal concept without recourse to a semantic framework. Loar's phenomenal concept strategy employs the aspect of our recognitional ability of objects in criticizing non-physicalism, leading to the argument that phenomenal concepts are 'exceptional' in applying conceivability-possibility link. I critically examine Stoljar's, Chalmers', Raffman's criticisms against Loar's exceptionalists strategy. Loar's phenomenal concept strategy reflects well our psychological aspects surrounding the acquisition and the possession of 'phenomenal concept'. In several respects, Loar's exceptionalist version of a posteriori physicalism is the best explanation for accounting for both the explanatory gap and the a posteriority of psychophysical identity.

Fusion and consilience have been important in many aspects of our education and culture. In this flow 2015 revised National Curriculum aimed to cultivate students of abilities of imagining liberally and inventing scientifically and technically. However imagination including imagination in humanities has not been researched in mathematics education part until nowadays, so mathematics education using imagination of raising students with ingenious and harmonizing abilities is hard to discuss concretely. In this paper I studied the opinions of various scholars from ancient times to today, and discussed where imagination reveals itself in mathematics practices. With above results I discussed some possible shape of teaching and learning of mathematics using imagination. And finally we discussed that meanings in the humanities and social aspects.

본 연구에서는 쾌, 불쾌, 긴장, 이완의 네 가지 상상을 통해 감성의 변화를 유도하였고, 생리 신호 분석을 통해 감성의 변화를 변별하고자 하였다. 20명의 피험자를 대상으로 네 가지 상상을 각각 30초씩 수행하게 하면서 EEG, ECG, GSR, PPG, RSP, Skin-Temperature를 각각 측정하였고 측정 종료 후 주관적 평가를 실시하였따. 주관적 평가 분석 결과, 피험자는 뚜렷이 구별되는 네 가지 상상을 한 것으로 나타났고, 쾌도는 “쾌 > 이완, 긴장 > 불쾌” 상상 순서의 3단계로, 긴장도는 “긴장 > 불쾌, 쾌 > 이완” 상상 순서의 3단계로 뚜렷이 구별되었다. EEG 분석 결과에서는 쾌와 불쾌, 쾌와 이완 상상 사이에서만, 자율신경계 반응 역시 약 2.5 단계의 긴장도 감성 변별이 가능하여 정확한 3단계의 감성 변별에는 어려움이 있었다. 그러나 향후 비선형 분석법을 적용하고 피험자 수를 증가시킨다면 생리 신호 분석을 통한 감성 변별 민감도를 증가시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구로부터 쾌/불쾌와 긴장/이완의 2차원의 감성 영역의 각 축을 EEG와 자율신경계의 생리 신호를 통해 변별할 수 있다는 가능성을 확인하였다.

The Gwanghalu garden which has a pond of approximately $6,000m^2$ around the pavilion at Namwon City, used as official uses consists of the various imaginary environmental elements such as moon palace as an immortal world, miniatured cosmology and law of nature. This study has focused on the interpretation of the imaginary environmental elements at 1) the name of garden structures, 2) the paintings on the structures, 3) the poems on the garden, and then emphasized on the values of imaginary environments at the historic sites which have been abandoned because of the Westernized scientific attitude in landscape design. Imaginary environment is the 3rd one above the natural and built environment which was a long traditional culture. Accordingly education on landscape architecture might pay attention to this lost environment, imaginary to give the people dream.

In the Japanese colonial period of Korean history, appropriate conclusion often overwhelmed the historical imagination, and also pointed out that it shows a similar pattern in spite of the history detective novel genre that emerged with pointing out the limitations of modern history. Historical facts showing in , the legitimacy of independence based on nationalism, and modern civilization are well known in the historical and cultural contents of the Japanese colonial period. It is the reason why applied in historical and cultural contents, as the history as is for current desire of the public to the imaginary community(nation), and as the history which current social conflicts are reflected. History, historical facts and fiction are intermingled in the contents of history, and it is creating a new 'historical imagination'. As a matter of fact, there is only one fact of the past, but the historical imagination of historical and cultural contents is diverse as there is not one historical fact made by historians. History has not yet gone to the imagination for the future, but writing history through historical and cultural contents will create a 'history of possibilities'.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of imagery training on upper limb function and activities of daily living in subacute stroke patients. This study included 16 voluntary participants with subacute stroke. Subjects were randomly assigned to either experimental or control group, with 8 in each group. Imagery training group performed imagery training during 30 minutes and then task-oriented training 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week for 4 weeks. Control group performed task-oriented training during 30 minutes during a day, 5 times a week for 4 weeks. Assessments were made using the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) and Fugl-Meyer motor function assessment (FMA) to evaluate the changes of upper function. And modified Barthel Index (MBI) was measured to evaluate the activities of daily living. The results showed that imagery training group was more significant increase than control group in WMFT, FMA, and MBI (p<.05). Small to huge effect sizes of 1.59, 2.02, 0.37 were observed for WMFT, FMA, and MBI, respectively. This study indicated that imagery training may be helpful in improving the upper limb function and activities of daily living for subacute stroke patients, and support the clinical feasibility of the imagery training.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Client-centered mental practice on activities of daily living and quality of life with stroke. For 16 persons with stroke, we executed Client-centered mental practice for 4 weeks, five times per week, and 30 minutes each time. Before and after the Client-centered mental practice, the patients were tested with Functional Independence Measure(FIM) and Stroke specific quality of life(SS-QOL). After the Client-centered mental practice, the subjects showed significant changes in the score of FIM and SS-QOL(p<0.05). The results of this study show that Client-centered mental practice for persons with stroke is a useful therapeutic approach by enhancing through improving their activities of daily living and quality of life.

Objective : The aim of this study is to prove the effects of mental practice in balance ability of elderly population, and to investigate the possibility of application as an effective intervention method for fall prevention. Methods : This study provided mental practice to 3 subjects over 65 years old who have experienced fall, but do not have cognitive dysfunctions and independent in gait without any use of assistive devices from July to October, 2013. Within the individual case study, 4 sessions of initial baseline process (A), 5 sessions of mental practice (B), 4 sessions of re-initial baseline process (A') were proceeded using ABA design. Independent variable used mental practice for enhancing balance ability and fall efficacy in elderly population, and dependent variable were Berg Balance Scale (BBS) to find out the change in overall balance ability, Fall Efficacy Scale (FES) to see the change in fall efficacy, One-Leg Standing test(OLS), and Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) to determine the changes in both static and dynamic balance. Analysis of the results were provided via mean value and graph. Results : After the application of mental practice method, all of the subjects have shown increase in fall efficacy baseline values, and in addition, overall balance ability and both static and dynamic balances either increased or maintained. Conclusion : This study demonstrated that mental practice has positive effects on fall efficacy improvement and maintenance in elderly, thereby suggesting mental practice for fall prevention in elderly populations.

This study is aimed to draw the meaning and possibility of political participation of the SNS users through a phenomenological analysis of participation and awareness of authentication shot for vote of the users. Especially, the reason for focusing on 'SNS vote authentication shot' is because the creative imagination of the users and the meaning and possibility of collective intelligence are drew while citizens are participating in political activities for themselves. Theory resources are based on technical imagination of Vil$\acute{e}$m Flusser that is concerned with users and political practice in the New Media Era, creative imaginer and discussions of collective intelligence of Pierre L$\acute{e}$vy. Based on these theoretical discussions, it is aimed to select the SNS users experienced in authentication shot for the by-election for mayor of Seoul in 26. Oct. 2011 and to use phenomenological analysis model on materials collected after in-depth interview. The researchers take contextual circumstance into consideration for experiences of study participants sticking to SNS users' opinions and intersubjectivity and approach prejudice of their experiences to untouched structure of phenomenon and meaning. It is because a phenomenological study exploring "the own meaning of 'die Sachen'" is 'strict study' and method focusing on the political participation of SNS users itself.
