Reference excerpt

In 1999 he won the Philosophy Award of the Institute of Catalan Studies with the dissertation El pensament de Raimon Panikkar: Una filosofia de la interdependència (Raimon Panikkar’s Thought: A Philosophy of Interdependence), and in 2006 he was awarded the Resurgence and Scientific and Medical Network Essay Award. His latest book is "Inteligencia vital. Una vision postmaterialista de la vida y la conciencia"/ " Vital intelligence. A postmaterialistic view of life and consciousness" ( Kairos, 2016) . He is a contributor to periodical publications in English, Spanish and Catalan, such as the Cultura/s supplement of La Vanguardia, Agenda Viva (Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente Foundation), Namaste, Resurgence and Tikkun.

In October 2016, he receives the XXV Joan Maragall Award for his essay Àngels i robots. La interioritat humana en la societat hipertecnològica, a la llum de Guardini, Panikkar i l’Encíclica Laudato Si' (Angels and Robots. Human interiority in a hyper-technological society, by Guardini's light, Panikkar and the Encyclical Laudato Si'; here in spanish), awarded by the Joan Maragall Foundation.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jordi Pigem

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jordi Pigem claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jordi Pigem before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jordi Pigem ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jordi Pigem

In research: Jordi Pigem appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jordi Pigem in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Jordi Pigem is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1964 births, Catalan-language writers from Catalonia, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jordi Pigem outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
