„Бесове“: психиатрия, антропология, метафизика

Author(s): Nina Ivanova Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

The proposed text discusses the adequacy of the psychiatric interpretation of Dostoevsky’s works, and especially of his novel “The Devils”. The author analyses the views of the most popular literary critics insisting on the psychopathological characters as an expression of the inner life of Dostoevsky himself, as well as some Russian psychiatric texts on the same topic. The main idea of the article is that the pathology of Dostoevsky’s fictional characters is rooted in the spiritual – and not in the psychological – sphere and despite the close resemblance between some clinical cases and the behavior of these characters, the latter is due to the conception of the demonic mangodhood and its different incarnations.

Czy neurotycy boją się skakać? Osobowościowe predyktory uprawiania sportu

Author(s): Jacek Skorupski-Cymbaluk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 8/2018

Teza. Celem artykułu jest zebranie i omówienie wiedzy z zakresu psychologii osobowości w sporcie oraz propozycja nowego wykorzystania dotychczasowych osiągnięć nauki w praktycznym treningu sportowym. Autor powołuje się na badania z zakresu osobowości, nawiązując szczególnie do teorii cech osobowości, postulując, że pomiędzy osobami, które uprawiają sport amatorsko i profesjonalnie, istnieją większe niż przeciętne, różnice indywidualne w natężeniu cech osobowości.Omówione koncepcje. Autor odwołał się do modeli osobowości PEN Eysencka, NEOAC Costy i McCrae, 16FP Cattella, koncepcji biologicznej Greya oraz do artykułów opisujących badania relacji osobowości z predyspozycjami i osiągnięciami sportowymi. Przedstawiono argumenty przemawiające za znaczeniem natężenia cech osobowości, takich jak neurotyczność czy ekstrawersja, w doborze metod treningowych (dobór rodzaju bodźców wzmacniających lub ćwiczeń).Wnioski. Współczesna literatura z zakresu psychologii sportu czerpie niewystarczająco z wiedzy z pozostałych gałęzi tej nauki, takich jak psychologia osobowości. Brakuje badań, które pozwoliłby skontrolować wpływ cech osobowości na sposób uprawiania sportu, szczególnie przez sportowców amatorskich.Ze względu na specyficzną konfigurację cech osobowości ludzie w specyficzny sposób reagują na bodźce: neurotycy silnie reagują na zagrożenie karą i ich zachowanie skupia się na unikaniu jej, podczas gdy ekstrawertycy kierują się potrzebą osiągnięć i nagród. Neurotycy charakteryzują się podwyższonym poziom lęku oraz mniejsza tolerancją bólu. Autor postuluje wykorzystanie tej wiedzy w praktyce trenerów sportu.

Paradigme informaţionale în neuroştiinţe

Author(s): Alina GAVRILUŢ,Gabriel CRUMPEI,Maricel Agop / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2017

We argue the ontological character of information, along with energy and substance, as well as the structural-phenomenological unity at all scales and levels of reality. We use an interdisciplinary, inductive-deductive methodology, within the broad framework of the naturalistic conception. We start from the current reality, which is the impact of information technology, information networks, virtual reality and artificial intelligence, insisting on the role of information in the gnosiological approach. The preponderance of the logical reductionist positivism in the scientific research and the exaggerated focus on the particle and high energy-physics, made possible that the problem of information be almost completely eluded. Even Shannon and Weaver’s information theory considers information only from a quantitative viewpoint, and only through its relation to entropy and the second law of Thermodynamics. The development in the nonlinear dynamics field of chaos theory, fractal geometry and topology, and especially the spectacular development of information technology in the last two decades, needs a systematic analysis, including the defining of information and its importance in the structuring of reality along with energy and substance. From this perspective, all our concepts, starting from physical reality to psychological imaginary reality, can be coherently understood through the same paradigms, irrespective of whether we are talking about the conservation law, the Euclidean dimension, fractal or topological dimension or the multidimensional processing mechanism through syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and hermeneutic processing of the human and artificial language and knowledge in general. This informational paradigm assumes the existence of a functional, phenomenological, potential background represented by information and which can be mathematically modeled through topology. The semantic emergent logic (semantic emergent topology when applied to the reality structuring) can help to elucidate the old mind-brain dualism, with solving other paradoxes, particularly the theory of emergence.

Анатомия на човешката деструктивност

Author(s): Michaela Slavcheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2018

Contemporary human beings are a solid, sometimes ambivalent, combination of constructive and destructive powers. Building something new is an inevitable necessity, a useful experience and gives an essential meaning in life. The destruction is a dangerous phenomenon that undoubtedly brings some kind of loss – identity, conception of the world, self-knowledge and adequate evaluation, etc. The anatomy of human destruction is a complex system of pathologies. It focuses on the darkest, unsuspected places of our mind and soul whom not everyone is ready to deal with.

Психологически анализ на серийния престъпник

Author(s): Nadejda Hristoskova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2011

Representatives of the psychological stance I maintain believe that the causes of criminal behavior are clearly justified by the Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud. He highlights several fragments of a person's access to the criminal contingent: the idiom, the ego and the superego of the one, and on the other, the infantile emotional experiences of man. Whether a person will be a killer or rapist depends on his psychological level that has been built since early childhood. In childhood, the main moving apparatus is the principle of pleasure, so adolescents are not interested in a foreign opinion. After this period, there is the principle of established social and legal rules that people follow and observe, but there is another group of people who ignore these rules and do not obey them. In this sense, criminal behavior has a traumatic beginning and is seen as a consequence of violent or psychological conflict in childhood.Representatives of the psychological stance I maintain believe that the causes of criminal behavior are clearly justified by the Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud.

Съвременната медицина – наука или изкуство?

Author(s): Veselina Slavova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

The aim of the current paper is to discuss medicine as a unity of scientific knowledge, acquired skills, and attitude based on moral responsibility. Following an analysis of the terms ‘science’ and ‘art’, it is suggested that neither of them singlehandedly satisfies the requirements of contemporary medicine and those of medical practitioners. As a science, its focus is rather on the illness itself than on the patient and their needs and preferences. As an art, it prioritises the patients and their individual needs but risks undermining the knowledge and experience of the medical professional. The most beneficial option is a symbiosis between science and art. A dialogue between them would increase the amount of trust in the medical profession as a combination of scientific knowledge and technical skills.

Social Distance from Vulnerable Groups. Perspectives from Students from Suceava County

Author(s): Elena Bujorean / Language(s): English Issue: 10/2018

The article aims to explore the social distance of high-school students towards certain vulnerable categories (people with disabilities, those of different religions, those without income, foreigners, refugees, Romani, people infected with HIV, homosexuals), as well as identifying the manner in which these social categories are discriminated against at school and in other public places. In the context of the current study, social distance is expressed through the level of acceptance by the respondents of persons from the aforementioned categories, as neighbours, classmates and friends. Our study shows the students' reluctance to co-exist with certain categories of vulnerable persons by stigmatizing and using social exclusion (homosexuals, Romani, people infected with HIV, immigrants). These aspects draw attention to the need to fight against ethnocentric, xenophobic or homophobic attitudes in school. At the same time, the study shows that the manifestation of intolerant attitudes coincides in many cases with the posture of victim of discriminatory manifestations.

Students’ Involvement in Cyberbullying

Author(s): Elena Bujorean / Language(s): English Issue: 12/2019

The present study sets up to investigate possible changes in the manner of manifesting violence involving middle school and high school students in Suceava county. Taking into consideration the tremendous impact of social networks on establishing means of communication and of free time, it is inevitable for the cybernetic environment to be a place where certain forms of violence can manifest themselves. By applying a questionnaire adapted by A.N.Grigore (2016) and used on the Romanian school population, we have proposed to investigate the incidence of the cyberbullying phenomenon in middle schools and high schools from Suceava county. Once finished, the study confirms cyberbullying isn’t a pseudo phenomenon, which justifies the need for nonformal education and school counselling programs to take into cyberbullying into account, as a form of violence in which students might be involved.

Also, the child must see the parent as the best friend, confess with anything and seek advice in any problem and in turn, the parent must give unconditional support to the child.At the same time, emphasis will be placed on certain ways of disciplining children, on the causes that can lead to conflicts between parents and children, as well as on the monitoring, punishments or rewards used by parents in the process of educating children. In order to achieve positive results, each parent adopts a certain style that he or she considers appropriate for raising and disciplining his or her child.

The necessity of French Teaching in education system

Author(s): Daniela Bujdei,Erena-Ana Tanasi / Language(s): English Issue: 10/2018

In the article named The necessity of French Teaching in education system we propose to approach french studying’s importance in schools. Moreover, french is a precise and melodious language which can translate the most profound undertones of thinking and of human sensivity. It represents the third spoken language on Internet, after English, Germain and Spanish. Also, French is one of the two official languages from the majority of issential institutions such as: United Nations Organisations, European Union, European Council, Unesco and Red Cross. French is efficient, because teacher doesn’t have to stop to promote its wealth, to convey to pupil the entire value and beauty. To the same extent, the educator always encourages the pupil to act in teaching-learning process and constantly involves him in order to the encrease of motivational level for french learning.

Pragmatic Interpretation of Knowledge in Wittgenstein’s Later Philosophy

Author(s): Andrii Synytsia / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2020

The article shows that Ludwig Wittgenstein used mostly pragmatic analysis to study the problem of knowledge in the later period. Without giving clear definitions of epistemological concepts, he argued that our interpretations of knowledge depend on the context of language-games, ideas of truth, certainty and justification, as well as the level of education and culture that form our way of life. It was found that the ideas of pragmatics were useful to Wittgenstein in order to more clearly define the nature of true knowledge, to outline the specifics of our refleсtions about certainty, as well as to analyze in detail all aspects of the justification. It is stated that his epistemological researches and discussions around them raised a wide range of not only linguistic but also psychological, cognitive and metaphysical issues, which made our understanding of the nature of knowledge much more comprehensive.

Together or not? The Effects of Individual and Group Work of the Faculty of Philology Students During E-learning Online

Author(s): Anna Ślósarz / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

This article tested a widespread belief that by working in groups distance education students achieve cognitive goals of learning, and develop their social competencies and skills. The subject of the study was the achievements of 655 bachelor and master degree students enrolled in 22 on-campus and blended learning units offered within 2 university courses, full-time and part-time, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, i.e. in the academic years 2020/2021 and 2021/2022. An instrumental case study was carried out: the grades students obtained for individual work were compared with grades obtained for work done in pairs and groups of threes within the same courses. It was found that a statistically significant difference did not exist. But the highest grades (on average 83.81) were obtained by students who had worked individually, and the lowest (81.64%) by those who had worked in groups of three. The highest grades were obtained by the final-year students. They showed an understanding of the assessment criteria and the ability to follow such. Also, they wanted to pass on the first attempt in order to have time to prepare for the final examination. International students were reluctant to work in groups. They focused on achieving good grades and preparing for the thesis due to the time limits of student visas and the unrest caused by the war in Ukraine. First-year students who had no experience in adhering to the assessment criteria and problems with communicating due to isolation caused by the pandemic obtained the lowest grades.

The Death Knell for Joy?

Author(s): Tamara Trojanowska / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

The essay explores the puzzling relationship between joy and the problems of postmodern culture, which affect the quality of our being in the world. Reflection on the precarious status of joy and its uncertain position in contemporary culture allows for a unique perspective on this relationship. The higher the political, economic and social stakes, the more the search for joy becomes a search for meaning, an essential nourishment for cultural forms. Such joy, filtered through our struggles with life’s challenges, compels us to examine the consequences of its absence (pain, suffering, joyless existence) and its manifestations in art (music), religion (Christianity), and philosophy (freedom). The power of joy lies in recognizing the inevitable imperfection of all solutions to our problems that do not include it as a fundamental component of life.

COUNSELING FROM AN EXISTENTIAL PSYCHOLOGY PERSPECTIVE

Author(s): Maria Pleşca / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 40/2025

In this paper, we propose one of the possible options for building the conceptual foundations of existential counseling. The first question that arises along this path is whether existential counseling and psychotherapy can be considered as a special type of counseling alongside psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, etc.? Or can any counseling become existential counseling if the client proposes an appropriate content for discussion - issues related to life and death, loneliness, love, guilt, etc.? Or is any kind of counseling existential in its inner essence, because, in principle, it can always be raised to existential phenomena that have as their background the field of the client's awareness of his or her problems? The issue can be addressed even more broadly: can psychological counseling as such not be existential at all, because it is, to some extent, an intervention by the psychologist in someone else's life and is capable of changing the trajectory of the client's life path, even if the counselor has not specifically motivated the client to do so? Determining the counselor's position on this issue is important not only theoretically but also practically, because understanding the client's request as existential changes the focus, level, and scope of his or her discussion, in particular, it shifts the emphasis from overcoming the current disadvantage to seeking essential changes in one's life. The specificity of existential counseling is to help the individual to see behind the daily struggles, conflicts, doubts, etc. the source of the disadvantage experienced, the reason that makes it difficult to get in touch with one's own life as a whole, i.e. to discover those limiting attitudes that prevent the individual from building his being in the desired way, which prevents the realization of "self-care" as the ability to build oneself and one's own life according to one's project.
