More than 7000 tambonlevel nonformal educational centres will be set up nationwide in a bid to increase Thai literacy rate, Education Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said yesterday. ❋ Unknown (2009)
But like nonformal tracks, they typically take multiple meetings and a lot of persuading. ❋ Unknown (2008)
R. Govinda, head of the department of schools and nonformal education at New Delhi's National University of Educational Planning and Administration, says embracing cheap private schools is defeatist. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Halal bi halal-nya kan udah pas Senen, yang ini ngumpul-ngumpul aja, nonformal, soalnya pas Senen blom semuanya dateng. ❋ Mayoineko (2006)
The main point is that if the Real has no positive nonformal properties of which we have a grasp, then, for all we can see, any department of human life is as revelatory of the Real as any other. ❋ 1932- (2000)
It appears, initially at least, that some nonformal positive properties are entailed by negative properties (given that there is such a distinction for properties). ❋ 1932- (2000)
Not, to be sure, by way of the definite descriptions whereby Christians believe they can pick out God -- such descriptions, say, as the all-powerful, all-knowing creator of the world '; such descriptions involve positive, nonformal properties of which we have a conception. ❋ 1932- (2000)
There is no reason at all to think it isn't possible to think about God; there is no reason at all to think that we cannot predicate such positive, nonformal properties of him as wisdom, knowledge, love, and all the rest. ❋ 1932- (2000)
Again, the main question here is obvious: if the Real has no positive, nonformal properties of which we have a grasp, how could we possibly know or have reason to believe that any such personae or impersonae are authentic or, for that matter, inauthentic? ❋ 1932- (2000)
According to Hick's position as so far explained, however, the Real doesn't have any positive nonformal property of which we have a grasp. ❋ 1932- (2000)
I think the best we can do in trying to state such a view coherently is to say with John Hick (see below, pp. 47ff.) that there is a being to which none of our positive, nonformal concepts apply (a being that has none of the positive, nonformal properties of which we have concepts) and that this being, somehow, is the one with which Christians and others are in touch in religious practice. ❋ 1932- (2000)
The property of being a concrete object is also a nonformal property (many things lack it); as we shall see below, it isn't easy to tell whether it is a positive or a negative property. ❋ 1932- (2000)
It stands in at least one positive nonformal relation of which we have a conception: the relation being experienced by. ❋ 1932- (2000)
Or is it rather the case that even if there were such a person as God, we couldn't refer to and think about him, or predicate positive, nonformal properties of him? ❋ 1932- (2000)
If this is the way the wind blows, then the Real enjoys at least one positive nonformal property of which we have a conception: the property being experienced by us. ❋ 1932- (2000)
The Real doesn't have wisdom: therefore it has nonwisdom; it does not have love: therefore it has nonlove; and so on for all the other positive nonformal properties we grasp. ❋ 1932- (2000)
Indeed, for each of the nonformal positive properties we grasp, the Real has the complement of that property (which is a negative property). ❋ 1932- (2000)
No; for if there is one such being, then maybe there are several more, none with any positive, nonformal properties we can grasp but differing from each other in positive, nonformal properties we can't grasp. ❋ 1932- (2000)
A good argument, presumably, will be valid, and must also have some nonformal virtues: it must not be circular or beg the question against those with whom I disagree. ❋ 1932- (2000)
