BOŠNJAK JURAJ DRAGIŠIĆ (SOCIJALNA I TEOLOŠKO-FILOZOFSKA MISAO)

Author(s): Esad Zgodić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 3/2019

Given that Juraj Dragišić, born in Srebrenica around 1445, is widely regarded as a Croatian theologian, philosopher and humanist in literature, this text asserts that Dragišić's place is in the historical world of Bosnian thinkers where he belongs. As the son of a Bosnian bosom, a Bosnian, Bosniak and Bosnian Franciscan friar, Juraj Dragišić should be included in the history of Bosnian social, political, philosophical and theological thought. After presenting the important dimensions of his biography and interpreting his literary oeuvre, Dragišić's axiological views are pointed out, for which he should be remembered and respected as an integral component of that history.

An Afro-Communal Ethic for Good Governance

Author(s): Uwaezuoke Precious Obioha / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

The underdevelopment of most African states and the attendant poverty and general social disorder that characterize her polity, is a product of failure of leadership. The hydra-headed monster of corruption and tribal politics seem to have a crippling hold on most states in the continent. These ugly narratives have occasioned the need and the increasing clamor and agitations for good governance. However, in order to address the problem of crises of governance in Nigeria for instance, economic, political and constitutional restructuring to true federalism appear to have been proposed as a solution to all of her problems. As helpful as this proposal may be, I argue that something more fundamental and enduring is needed which is an ethic of identity and solidarity grounded in Afro-communitarianism. As an Afro-communal ethic, identity and solidarity cultivates and promotes the virtues of love, care, complementarity, justice, equity, fairness and patriotism in governance practices. Using the Philosophical methods of critical analysis and synthesis of the current realities of most African States, I argue that the above mentioned virtues are lacking in the governance practices of most sub-Saharan African states and that the lack of these virtues has given rise to tribal, ethnic, ineptitude and corrupt politics/leadership.

Buddhism and Urbanism in Post-Soviet Buryatia

Author(s): Bato Dondukov,Oyuna DORZHIGUSHAEVA,Galina Dondukova / Language(s): English Issue: 10/2021

With the collapse of the Soviet Union the traditionally Buddhist regions of Russia, including the Republic of Buryatia, experienced the revival of religion. Along with the traditional Gelug school of Mahayana Buddhism existing on the territories around Lake Baikal for more than three hundred years, the globalized model of Buddhism started to spread quickly in Buryatia in the 1990s. Tibetan Buddhist teachers started to establish new Buddhist organizations in Buryatia and thus to transform the urban landscape of Ulan-Ude, the capital of the republic. The article traces how global and local Buddhist organizations become represented in the urban landscape of Ulan-Ude and considers the anti-urban position of Khambo Lama Damba Ayusheev.

UMBERTO ECO’S REFLECTIONS ON MORALITY IN THE CONTEXT OF CULTURAL IDENTITY

Author(s): Jana Pecníková,Anna Slatinská,Genovaitė Kačiuškiene / Language(s): English Issue: 2 (44)/2015

The research paper focuses on the cultural and moral identity in Umberto Eco’s reflections. Attention is paid to the selected pieces. Umberto Eco is one of the most famous contemporary writers dealing with the issues of morality in Italian society. His works are devoted to the current perception of identity in the 21st century. The authors are interested in his view on values and identity in the selected chapters of his work. The aim of the paper is to analyse the identity issue in Umberto Eco’s works. The research objectives are based on recent doubts in cultural studies whether identity is fixed and firmly defined or acquired by a human being freely. Another question is the link between these two aspects. Although the origin of the word identity comes from Latin (idem - the same), nowadays it is more understood in its diversity as linguistic, cultural, national, moral identity, etc.

The Production and Transmission of Islamic Knowledge in Europe: Authority, Ethics, and Methodology in the Politics of Imam Training

Author(s): Thijl Sunier / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

This article deals with the training of imams to work for Muslim communities in Europe with a migrant background. Imams are considered the prime actors in conveying Islamic knowledge and the training of these figureheads is a crucial issue with many implications. Imam training is a particular aspect of a broader multifaceted process that includes the production, transmission, reception, and interpretation of Islamic knowledge. Imam training is thus part of the much broader issue of the positioning of Islam and Muslims in Europe, particularly given European governments’ intention to take a more active role. It should be analyzed within this broader political and historical context. The “politics of imam training”, as I call the ongoing debates, negotiations, and initiatives involving the various stakeholders, entail more than just educational logistics. At heart, these are issues of authority and legitimacy and ultimately the questions of who is entitled to produce, transmit, and, of course, teach Islamic knowledge, and who is accepted by Muslim communities. This aspect has not been widely addressed by researchers.

Dimensions of the Threat to the Self Posed by Deep Brain Stimulation: Personal Identity, Authenticity, and Autonomy

Author(s): Przemysław Zawadzki / Language(s): English Issue: 69/2021

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is an invasive therapeutic method involving the implantation of electrodes and the electrical stimulation of specific areas of the brain to modulate their activity. DBS brings therapeutic benefits, but can also have adverse side effects. Recently, neuroethicists have recognized that DBS poses a threat to the very fabric of human existence, namely, to the selves of patients. This article provides a review of the neuroethical literature examining this issue, and identifies the crucial dimensions related to the self which DBS may endanger-personal identity, authenticity, and autonomy. The most influential theories accounting for these dimensions are analyzed herein, and it is argued that most of these theories require further refinement. This paper also demonstrates the interrelation between personal identity, authenticity, and autonomy, and concludes that one can only fully understand the impact of DBS on the self when all of these factors are taken into account.

DEFINING BEAUTY IN ART: FIVE PROVISI AND SIX CRITERIA SINE QUA NON

Author(s): Alexandra Fol / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

The author proposes and defends the following five provisi that help define beauty in art: 1) Beauty is not essential for an artwork to be an artwork; 2) Beauty and aesthetics are not identical notions; 3) Taste does not define beauty; 4) Morality is immaterial to beauty; 5) The ontology of an artwork is distinct from a person’s emotional response to it. Fol follows her preamble by defining and defending six criteria that, when taken as an ensemble, establish a standard for beauty in an artwork on a sliding scale: 1) Containing at least five art properties and five craft properties from a provided list; 2) Directed intentionality vs. randomness of action(s); 3) Engaged experience that exceeds mere satisfaction of experience; 4) Recognizable, not necessarily definable patterns of manufacture: aka, style; 5) Potential for symbolic interpretation vs nothing but face value; 6) Nested levels of intent.

MULTIMEDIA AND DIGITAL TOOLS. BASICS OF CIVIC AND ETHICAL EDUCATION IN PRE-PRIMARY AND PRIMARY SCHOOL

Author(s): Mihaela Gabriela Neacșu,Florentina Bucuroiu / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2020

This paper presents the findings of a psycho-pedagogical study on the effectiveness of certain multimedia apps and of a software program for civic and ethical education in pre-primary and primary school. The purpose of this study is both the analysis of the capitalization of various forms of multimedia, audio, image, animation, video content, interactive content forms and of the new educational software for shaping the social-civic skills of young pupils. The methodology employed is qualitative. The specific objectives of this study are: - An analysis of the pedagogical ways of integration of the multimedia and digital tools in the didactic process of civic and ethical education for young pupils; - An analysis of the complementarity of education forms and capitalisation of the multimedia and digital tools for shaping the social-civic skills of young pupils; - Best practice reflections on integrating multimedia education means in Romanian pre-university education. The conclusions of this study highlight the importance of integrating multimedia means in the civic and ethical education of young pupils so as to enable greater engagement of students in their own civic shaping, capitalisation of the differentiated and personalized content of civic education, a flexible structuring of the learning times, understanding civic reality based on case studies reflecting reality, the formation of pro-social attitudes and behaviours based on concrete examples. The advantages and limitations of using these formative tools and means are highlighted: multisensory stimulation in presenting the information, stimulation of critical thinking, purpose-oriented learning, individual exploration/search of information and operating on it, contributions to the knowledge of the immediate civic reality etc.

ETHICAL VIEW ON TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP. A PANDEMIC APPROACH

Author(s): Dragoş Grigorescu,Dana Volosevici / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

The health crisis we are going through is very demanding on the relationship between students and teachers in terms of professional ethics. Many teachers had real difficulties in applying legal measures of social distancing, limiting students' access to classrooms (hybrid physical and online system, imposing hygiene measures, etc.), which together negatively affected the quality of the teacher-student relationship. The emotional and cognitive comfort that teachers must provide to students according to the codes of didactic ethics, the sense of belonging and relationship resulting from a class management aimed at stimulating team spirit became during the pandemic incompatible with health safety rules imposed by authority. In this context, we propose through this paper to debate the need to theoretically complete the future codes of ethics of the teaching profession with the concept of ethics of care. The authors believe that especially in extreme contexts, such as the Covid 19 pandemic, we need to bring to mind the foundations of human relationships based on the valorization of students by their teachers, and specific codes of ethics should be more explicit in dignity provisions. to all those involved in education.

„Autenticitatea”, de la literar la etic şi înapoi

Author(s): Ştefan Firică / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 17/2014

The debates around “authenticity”, in the Romanian literary criticism, have generally laid stress on such aspects as the narratological, the biographical, the mimetic, or the “poietic” (depending on the contrasting pairs taken into account: narrator vs. character, author vs. character, text vs. reality, author vs. text etc.). Some researchers based their commentaries on an etymological perspective, resulting in the broadening of the concept used and abused of in the interwar Romanian journalism. However, the nuances added by the late 20th c. local literary criticism cannot supply for the centuries of construction / deconstruction / reconstruction of the concept in the history of the European culture. This paper aims to point at a possible bridge between the ethical / philosophical developments of the concept and its use in the current literary discourse. Starting from some theories put forward by Charles Taylor or Alessandro Ferrara, an updated version of “authenticity” could be launched on today’s (literary) market.

Парадоксите на творческата иновация

Author(s): Valentin Angelov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

Novelty (innovation) has an important role in the modern art; the value of a work of art is most often measured by it. This article explores the negative innovations, some of which have even a scandalous effect. From Dadaism onward the topic of negative innovations is of theoretical interest. This raises the question of negative values in the modern art, especially in Avant-garde art.

Нечовек

Author(s): Walter Benjamin / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

In his perplexing and rich essay on Karl Kraus (1874–1936) Walter Benjamin is exploring the character and the work of one of the cult figures in Austrian and German culture in the first third of XX century. Kraus is a brilliant stylist and a fierce critic of bourgeois hypocrisy and conservative institutions. His political views and religious convictions may change, but his principles of defending the дisadvantaged and denouncing the arbitrariness of those in power are immutable. For Benjamin Kraus is a perfect example to illustrate a series of his own concepts: the divine nature of language and word, the enormous potential of quotation to refer to the source of things, the creative power of misanthropy for resisting conformist indifference leading to the degeneration of the human, the progressive eschatology of social conflict, the unity between aesthetics and politics.

Universal Principles in Political Philosophy of Dante Alighieri and Immanuel Kant (Part II)

Author(s): Emiliano Mettini / Language(s): English Issue: 36/2021

Ideals of universal power able to manage and solve social and ethical (religious) questions as many ways to reach the highest wisdom, and consequently, fullest well-being of humankind to reach a perpetual peace are present throughout human history so that we can find these ideals in Plato’s Republic, in Aristotle’s Politeia and other works concerning the establishment of more or less utopic “states” and commonwealth since our days. In the present essay we shall scrutinize the universalistic vision of Italian thinker Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) and the cosmopolitan idea of German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724–1804). We decided to analyze the political philosophy of those thinkers on the following grounds: on one hand, D. Alighieri took as the basis of his rumination Roman Empire that having as solid basis of its universalistic ideology Right of every Roman citizen (lying on the observance of religious and civil obligations), and the so-called pax romana , a theoretical ground on which D. Alighieri would create a communitas a secular led by Reason commonwealth, which might have replaced the so-called humanitas (in Augustinian understanding of such idea); and, on the other hand, I. Kant tried to explain how human self-improvement under the right use of Reason (that we understand like ethical ruling principle of humankind) can be achieved to lead human beings from the state of nature (a semi-brutal one) to the state of reason, which would have as final end a perpetual peace in a universal republic. On those bases we shall try to detect common theoretical and ideal features between D. Alighieri and I. Kant’s vision, so to prove that universalistic power is not a despotic power, but a unifying power under ethical and spiritual principles of the whole humankind.

On Closing the Gap: or How to Challenge your Students to Engage in Philosophising

Author(s): Madelaine Angelova-Elchinova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

In the following paper, I address the worry that there is an increasing gap between the way the world is perceived by students and by their professors and teachers respectively. I argue that even if there is indeed a huge difference between our two generations, ‘the gap’ becomes irrelevant when we engage in philosophising. I will attempt to provide three short proposals on how to eradicate the gap when teaching philosophy. My hope is to show that, if we really want to make an attempt to eliminate the lack of understanding between the students and us, there are four basic rules that we could apply to our educational method. My argument makes use of the concepts of truth-value, consensus and epistemic normativity.

Educating for Good Character: from Critical Thinking to Intellectual Character Virtues

Author(s): Anna Hurajová,Vladimíra Hladíková / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

Life in the 21st century has presented people with unprecedented appeals and ethical challenges which are nowhere more evident than in educational institutions as well as in the online space.A renewed interest in the character as one of the crucial ethical developments is gaining momentum today. Good character is based on the virtues one possesses. We argue that education focused on the cultivation of intellectual virtues such as curiosity, intellectual humility, intellectual autonomy, attentiveness, intellectual carefulness, intellectual thoroughness, open mindedness, intellectual courage and intellectual tenacity are needed for individuals to lead fulfilling lives. At least, growing in intellectual virtues seems to be a valuable and desirable educational aim. This theoretical study strives to make a twofold contribution to the area of knowledge: firstly, it aims to contribute to the area of character and moral education through describing its forms and features; and secondly, it aims to contribute to virtue epistemology by identifying its nature and focus and outlining nine intellectual or epistemic virtues. Further to the second contribution, the study ends by arguing that the intellectual virtue approach and the critical thinking approach both help to cultivate intellectually virtuous critical thinkers.
