Изборът като философски и психоаналитичен проблем

Author(s): Vyara Nikolova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2015

The article analyzes the choice from several perspectives. The choice as a moral problem is a choice between good and evil. The choice as a social problem is a choice between individualism and collectivism, between aspiration for career inert and passive adaptation. The choice as an ideological problem is a choice between democracy and totalitarianism. The choice as a religious issue is a choice between faith and doubt, religion and atheism. The choice as a psychoanalytic problem is the acceptance or denial of guilt. The choice as a philosophical problem is a choice between demand of an essence or give satisfaction to the elementary and the trivial.

Човекът в търсене на смисъл: изборът между страдание и удоволствие

Author(s): Kameliya Slavcheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2015

This study examines the problem of the meaning of life and the choice between suffering and pleasure, according to the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes, written by the wisest king that ever lived on Earth, and according to the greatest psychiatrist, founder of the doctrine of Logotherapy, the author of one of the greatest books of our time: Man in Search of Meaning and The Doctor and the Soul – Viktor Frankl. Can we find some similarities in their statements, research, and philosophy? Where is the meaning of human existence: in pleasure or in pain? Why is it important for everyone to find meaning in his/her life? Is this the driving force of humankind forward? Can you live with dignity; what it means, and how to help people that lost the meaning? These are the questions we try to find answers for in this study. The aim is to follow the similarities between the two authors, and to find where modern psychology, logotherapy meet the faith in God.

Философската антропология във възгледите на Лудвиг Фойербах

Author(s): Sasho Vasilev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2015

In the wider sense, the concept of philosophical anthropology covers all views on the nature and essence of man since the remotest antiquity, whereas in its narrower associations it points to a philosophical discipline and a conceptually diverse movement that differentiated itself in the first half of the 20th century, joint together by the intention to define the foundations and spheres of man’s own being. It is considered to have formed upon the philosophical reflections of M. Scheler, H. Plessner, E. Rothacker, etc. Many scholars, however, have failed to recognize the fact that a number of the basic principles developed later on in the different views on man, were, for the first time, already to be found in a complex form and in the highest degree in the philosophy of L. Feuerbach.

Симулация и огледални неврони. Анализ на понятието за намерение в експеримента на Якобони

Author(s): Nikola Nedelchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2015

The goal of the present article is to analyse some of the main premises for justifying the simulation theory (ST) via the mirror neuron theory. The first task will be to formulate a criterion which will set the analysis’s limits. Here I will refer to this criterion as “Goldman’s criterion” (GC). According to GC, the attribution of mental states requires that they be simulationally represented as mental rather than behavioural states. The second task is to introduce the analysis’s object. The object of the analysis enters the picture as part of the theoretical explanations of Iacoboni’s experiment. According to the experiment’s results, mirror neurons represent intentions, which is taken as evidence in support of ST. However, here I will show that the experiment’s description can be a source of alternative uses for the concept of intention – ones that refer not to states, but rather to behavioural dispositions. If this is the case, then GC can not be fulfilled, because of a conceptual problem.

Is The Inner Healing Movement in Lithuania a Local Religious Response to the Cultural Trauma of Socialism?

Author(s): Saulius Matulevičius,Benas Ulevičius / Language(s): English Issue: 69/2019

This article analyses the pattern of emergence of religious healing movements after society or community goes through periods of totalitarian rule. Totalitarian rule produces so called cultural trauma, which is being transmitted to the next generations. Religious healing movements seem to tackle the issue in religious manner. Authors demonstrate that the pattern itself is found cross-culturally. However, the article focuses on particular religious movement called the Inner Healing movement in Post-Soviet Lithuania. Through the analysis of psychological and social anthropological theories of cultural and transgenerational trauma the authors reveal how the Inner Healing movement can be analysed as society’s attempt to treat the collective trauma produced by the totalitarian rule of Soviet regime. Analysis of the Inner Healing movement through the theory of cultural and transgenerational trauma provides an explanation why the Catholic Charismatic movement which is well known globally, in post-totalitarian Lithuania rapidly underwent modulation towards the local Inner Healing movement, which concentrate all its teaching around the healing aspect of Christianity.

A REFLECTION ON THE CITIZENS’ ATTITUDES TO THE POLITICAL SITUATION (AND THEIR CREATIVE RENDITIONS) In Memoriam of Ján Kuciak and Martina Kušnírová

Author(s): Katarína Fichnová,Lukasz Pawel Wojciechowski,Peter Szabo / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

The primary aim of the article is to identify the degree of creativity in the expressive means employed by citizens showing their attitudes to the current political situation. Other aims of the text include the identification of rhetorical, linguistic and stylistic resources and explicit and implicit inspirations related to art present in the recorded messages. The authors address three research questions arising from the above-mentioned aims. The research material consists of photographs of 203 different messages in the form of banners, scale models, models, ready-made, objet trouvé, performances and other textual and/or visual representations displayed during the protest held on 16th March 2018 on the SNP Square in Bratislava, which was held after the brutal murder of Slovak investigative journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová. The authors use a modified method of content and image analysis and product creativity evaluation. The data is analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively, i.e. via triangulation approach. In the concluding part of the study, the authors discuss the available options in connection with the use of banners and other messages as a means of self-expression and manifestation of commitment, political activism and civic engagement. The most creative messages have the greatest potential to be multiplied through social networks and thus transmit the intended message in a more efficient way.

Extending Means-end Chain Theory by Integrating a Self-concept Approach and Behavioural Perspective Model

Author(s): Elena Borgardt / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

This methodological and concept paper attempts to combine the recently emerged, yet well-established, value-based cognitive model – Means-end Chain (MEC) – with the self-concept approach and the Behavioural Perspective Model (BPM). The paper has three aims: first, to elaborate the MEC theory, the post-modern approach of self-concept and the hermeneutical model based on radical behaviourism, BPM. Second, to discuss the similarities and differences with MEC and, third, to formulate a novel extended MEC metatheory. The theoretical framework is based on a critical overview of scientific books and articles. It includes an examination of the elements to enhance the MEC model with symbolism, dynamics and multi-dimensionality on the micro-level through integration of the self-concept approach. It also investigates the environmental, reinforcing / aversive and experiential aspects of the BPM on the macro level. The results of the exploration pave the way to the new research extended MEC – EMEC – which opens up new opportunities to redesign and re-systemise the interpretation and understanding of consumer behaviour.

Author(s): Irmela Ćosić,Idriz Ćosić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 4/2019

Psychosocial assistance to marginalized groups of society is certainly one of the most prominent activities of organizations dealing with social work as well as constitutions in local communities. There are visible problems that these groups face in society, whether they are individuals or marginalized groups. Psychosocial work with women victims of violence, and women and children victims of trafficking treated by social work are very often represented by a category, and this area is devoted to part of the work. In the second part, gender discriminated persons are represented through psychosocial work and work. The psychosocial work with forced migrants-refugees / displaced persons is increasingly represented at a global level. Working with the Roma population is extremely important to the local community, as does work with people with disabilities on the margins of the community.

La mise en perspective des écrits d'Althusser et de la récente biographie par Y. Moulier-Boutang interroge les rapports complexes, voire contradictoires, de l'homme et de son inscription dans la psychanalyse, la politique, et la sexualité. On y repère la structure du fantasme, lié à la nature de sa psychose, qui fait effet dans ses engagements toujours marqués d'une position d'antagonisme et d'isolement

From the Ethics of Pleasure to the Ethics of Jouissance

Author(s): Radu Țurcanu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

I will try to address here several questions about issues such as pleasure, (the) good, reality, and (feminine) jouissance, guided in that endeavor by the psychoanalytical discourse and practice. If the main purpose of human life, as Freud argues, is the search for some sort of happiness, clinical experience shows that for any particular individual, the question of the good and that of pleasure are quite distinct. « … The pleasure principle … is nothing else than the dominance of the signifier », writes J. Lacan. Jouissance is that supplement to pleasure which is also transgressive of it. The best description for what jouissance is can be called the void, the chaos which render pleasure and the signifier inconsistent and incomplete. There are several types of jouissance, most of them called phallic. The Other jouissance or feminine jouissance, “not-all phallic” (Lacan), is related to that void. It is synonymous to a particular ethics of the void, a “chaosmotic” ethics (in Joyce’s term), distinct from a “cosmic” ethics which would be that of pleasure and of the signifier

Woman does not exist. A love letter

Author(s): Cristian Bodea / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

In this paper I would like to develop the idea that there is a very clear distinction to be made between hysteria, on the one hand, and what psychoanalysis calls the feminine position, on the other hand. It is to the logic of the not whole that this feminine position corresponds, a logic that the hysteric subject contests at his/her turn. In this regard, hysteria is more close to a position attributed to men. What remains to be shown, in what follows, is what position the woman is in. If she does not exist, as the title of my paper suggests, then where is she?

Some remarks on Spinoza’s theory of the eternity of the mind and his notion of consciousness

Author(s): Cristina Criste / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

In establishing the guidelines for an ethical existence, Spinoza offers a theory of the eternity of the mind and differentiates between an intellectual order and the order of the imagination. The analysis and understanding of these notions involves two different approaches regarding the notion of mind and that of existence. A further analysis of the mind’s eternity, together with several key notions of Spinoza’s philosophy as they appear in various contexts - conatus, infinity, essence, the nature of knowledge – leads to a specific contour of this particular philosopher’s view on the notion of consciousness

Gastrodiplomacy: a (Not-So-) Soft Power

Author(s): Raúl MATTA / Language(s): French Issue: 23 (1)/2019

This article aims to analyze gastrodiplomacy, which has become a trendin international relations, as a set of institutional practices that pushes the boundariesof the political uses of food cultures. I will show that the rise of the concept in recentyears lies to the fact that it extends to the national and international levels, itsintrusive and performative nature (that is, generative of participation and action) andstrong ideological charge. More specifically, I will address the way in whichgastrodiplomacy, as instrumentalized by public and private agencies, participates inthe making of imaginaries aimed at facilitating the adhesion of citizens to theinterests of political and economic elites.

Međunarodna regulacija otmica djece

Author(s): Miro Katić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2019

The occurrence of international child abductions is not of a recent age, although the term “abduction” is of a relatively recent date. By studying ancient legal sources (Roman law, rights in ancient Greece, rights in Mesopotamia etc.) legal fragments are found that refer to parents who “take their child”, parents who “keep their child”, parents to whom the child “belongs” or similar. International abduction, or illegal removal of a child from one country to another, is a problem which entails a series of open questions closely related to the child’s personality, while legally speaking, such a phenomenon leads to the conflict of laws and jurisdictions between different states, or the state of the child’s usual residence and state in which the child is taken unlawfully.States tend to come up with the best solutions regulating the conflict of laws and jurisdictions between states, trough the prism of the international law, including the achievements of the Hague Convention on the civil rights aspects of international child abductions.
