Editors’ Note

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

Welcome to our spring 2021 issue of The Agonist: “The Antichrist.” We would like to thank all of our contributing writers and dedicated editorial team. We would also like to express our enormous gratitude to our new publishers, Ibrahim Sirkeci and the Transnational Press London. We look forward to working with you! In this issue our writers present four essays that once again rethink our relationship with Nietzsche’s controversial, later writings. Robert Malka explores the ways in which a story can find its basis in both the self and the world in Nietzsche's works. Gary Shapiro reimagines Nietzsche as a proto-ecologist or prophet of environmentalism. Bradley Kaye mines the strange affinities between Nietzsche and Pelagianism. And finally, Thomas Steinbuch treats us to “Cursing the Curse: Nietzsche on the Machiavellianism of Pity” in the early sections of The Antichrist.

Notas desde la Dirección Editorial

Author(s): / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 2/2021

We live in an era of intense turbulence of much disenchantment and bewilderment. Geopolitical tensions are deepening and are transforming international relations. Political tribalism is revealing deep divisions between nations and the political and economic failures of countries are causing mass exoduses from Belarus, Libya, Afghanistan or Venezuela to name a few. The pandemic caused by the SARS-COV2 virus has accentuated these changes, as expressed in the latest Oxfam report (2021) calling it the virus of inequality, where more than 2 million people have lost their lives and hundreds of millions have fallen into poverty, while most of the world's richest people and companies remain the richest on the planet. Their multimillion-dollar wealth has returned to pre-pandemic levels in just nine months, while for the poorest it could take more than a decade to emerge from the impacts of the pandemic (Berkhout, Galasso, Lawson, Rivero Morales & Taneja, 2022).

INTRODUCTION: ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF THIS VOLUME

Author(s): Albena Taneva / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

The purpose of this volume of PUBLIC POLICY.bg is to draw attention to a topic that is usually considered primarily a matter of history. Thus, Holocaust remembrance is usually debated by historians. The study of this past is often in narrowly specialized academic units of Jewish studies or in Holocaust Studies Centers. Such academic structures exist in many universities around the world. They have long developed an extremely high level of expertise on this historical heritage. Conferences are held, exclusive publications appear in many languages. This autonomous scientific space is being reproduced and developed further. The problem, however, is that it remains relatively encapsulated and isolated within the narrow boundaries of experts on the subject. It can be said that the first problem that caused us to dedicate this issue of the Holocaust Remembrance Policy journal was the need to draw attention to the interdisciplinary nature of these studies and highlight the importance of horizontal links between different scientific fields in them.

Възход и падение на догматичната естетика. Тодор Павлов срещу Исак Паси

Author(s): Ivan Stefanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

The main idea of the article is that the Marxist-Leninist aesthetics in its extreme and dogmatic variant, shared by academic Todor Pavlov, leads to theoretical disorganization not only in the field of aesthetics but in the general artistic field as well. This happens because the treatment of aesthetics simply as an ideological and political norm system inevitably leads to the disappearance of art as anything other but ideology and politics. The article examines an extremely dangerous dogmatic reduction that does huge harm on the ever-present diversity of art. By means of this reduction dogmatism through its political and ideological concepts is even capable of destroying art. Dogmatism ideologically mystifies art, thus in fact obliterating it.

The research summarizes estimation of the experience rate of loneliness and life satisfaction in a sample of individual cases of older adults – users of social services. The empirical analysis shows significant negative correlation between loneliness and satisfaction variables. It can be concluded that interventions for supporting the quality of personal contacts and profound intimacy are much more essential in the gerontological social work from those interventions that focus on expanding, diversifying and growth of relationships in a quantitative aspect. The utilized research tools can be applied in practical social work for differential assessment of the rate of life satisfaction and social functioning. This way in the individual assessment it is possible to be distinguished areas of stability and satisfaction from those with unsatisfied needs, deficiency and dysfunctioning.

Reflective thinking paradigm contains a set of trainings based on the pattern of mental tools and it helps its users to be able to present the educational materials in a framework that embraces the nature of thinking, various learning activities and the learning based on reflective, creative and critical forms of thinking. Reviewing of the related literature shows that most of the challenges are due to learning and learning-related factors. Accordingly, the present study examines the thinking level of senior postgraduate engineering students of Shahre-Rey University. For this purpose, the Reflective Thinking Questionnaire (RTQ)developed by Kember et al. (2000) was used. TOPSIS method was used to evaluate the thinking level of the subjects. The results showed that habitual action, which is one of the skills of reflective thinking, is ranked first and perception is ranked last, which means that the senior postgraduate engineering students learn superficially. It is suggested to ask professors and teachers to hold classes that train reflective thinking skills, so that they can be a good and appropriate model of using reflective thinking skills for their students.

In this context, this article brings to the fore both the issue of human vulnerability and suffering, as well as the need to reconsider the attitude towards caring relationships for these categories of people.
