Leibniz and the Metaphysics of Motion

Leibniz and the Metaphysics of Motion

Author(s): Edward Slowik / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2013

Keywords: Leibniz; motion; matter; space; force; relativity; realism; idealism

This essay develops an interpretation of Leibniz’ theory of motion that strives to integrate his metaphysics of force with his doctrine of the equivalence of hypotheses, but which also supports a realist, as opposed to a fully idealist, interpretation of his natural philosophy. Overall, the modern approaches to Leibniz’ physics that rely on a fixed spacetime backdrop, classical mechanical constructions, or absolute speed, will be revealed as deficient, whereas a more adequate interpretation will be advanced that draws inspiration from an invariantist conception of reality and recent non-classical theories of physics.

Subjective social exclusion as an aspect of chronic illness experience

Subjektyvi socialinė atskirtis kaip lėtinės ligos patirties aspektas

Author(s): Vylius Leonavičius,Giedrė Baltrušaitytė / Language(s): / Issue: 2/2014

Keywords: Lėtinės ligos patirtis; Subjektyvi socialinė atskirtis; Kūno negalavimas; Asmens savimonė; Liga kaip biografijos pertrūkis; Experience of chronic illness; Subjective social exclusion; Body ailment; Self; Illness as biographical disruption

Straipsnyje aptariama sąsaja tarp lėtinės ligos ir subjektyvios socialinės atskirties. Analizuojant šią sąsają remiamasi sveikatos sociologijos literatūra ir empirinio tyrimo – 22 pusiau struktūruotų interviu su įvairiomis lėtinėmis ligomis sergančiais asmenimis – medžiaga. Nors socialinė atskirtis lėtinės ligos atveju dažniausiai nagrinėjama mezo ir makro lygmeniu, tačiau prielaidas šiai atskirčiai formuotis galima apčiuopti asmens santykyje su liga, t. y., mikrolygmenyje. Kita vertus, sveikatos sociologijoje lėtinės ligos patirtis dažniausiai analizuojama susitelkiant į socialines ligos apraiškas ir iš esmės ignoruojant ligos kaip kūno negalavimo realybę. Tuo tarpu šiame straipsnyje laikomasi pozicijos, kad socialiniai ligos patyrimo komponentai yra glaudžiai susiję su fiziniais. Taip pat daroma prielaida, kad lėtinės ligos potyris ir fizine, ir socialine prasme nėra toks pats visiems sergantiesiems. Todėl, nors lėtine liga sergantis asmuo vienaip ar kitaip gali būti priverstas ieškoti būdų, kaip išlaikyti prasmingas sąveikas su „sveikųjų“ pasauliu, priklausomai nuo ligos specifikos, individualių sergančiojo charakteristikų ar biografinės trajektorijos, socialinės atskirties patirtis nebūtinai bus vienoda šios socialinės kategorijos nariams. This paper discusses the link between chronic illness and subjective social exclusion. Analysis is based on the review of sociological literature and 22 semi-structured interviews with chronically ill persons. Although social exclusion in chronic illness is usually studied at the mezzo and macro levels, the micro level is equally important. As recent studies demonstrate, chronic illness is also related to a subjectively experienced social exclusion. Furthermore, for a long time sociologists have studied chronic illness by focusing on its social manifestations and experiences while ignoring the physical reality of body ailments. This article assumes that social aspects of illness experience are closely related to the physical ones. The authors also argue that sick people do not adjust to some common set of physical constraints within the context of shared social demands because their social and bodily circumstances are not identical. Therefore, even if persons suffering from chronic illness may be forced to look for ways to maintain meaningful interactions with the world of “healthy,” whether and how they will experience social exclusion will depend on their chronic condition, individual characteristics and biographical trajectory.

Influence of German legal doctrine on the legal-theoretical position of the bankruptcy administrator in Polish law

Einfluss der deutschen Rechtslehre auf die rechtstheoretische Stellung des Konkursverwalters im polnischen Recht

Author(s): Przemysław Feliga / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2014

Keywords: Konkursordnung; Insolvenzordnung; die Rechtsstellung des Konkursverwalters und Insolvenzverwalters

Im Artikel wurde die Rechtsstellung des Konkursverwalters im polnischen Recht im Lichte der deutschen Lösungsansätze zu diesem Thema dargestellt. Der Umfang der Analyse lässt sich durch vier Fragen bestimmen: Welche sind die rechtshistorischen Anknüpfungspunkte für die polnischen und deutschen Lösungsansätze in Bezug auf die problematische Rechtsstellung eines Konkursverwalters? Wie wird die Rechtsstellung des Konkursverwalters in der polnischen und deutschen Rechtswissenschaft verstanden? Wie verhält sich die Rechtstheorie zur Rechtsstellung des Konkursverwalters im polnischen und deutschen Rechtssystem? Ob und in welchem Umfang haben die deutschen Lösungsansätze Einfluss auf die rechtstheoretischen Überlegungen bezüglich der Rechtsstellung des Konkursverwalters in der polnischen Rechtswissenschaft?

Homo Sociologicus: What is Behind the Theme of Social Roles?

Homo sociologicus: Co se skrývá za tématem sociálních rolí

Author(s): Jiří Šubrt / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 2/2017

Keywords: social role; status; internalization of role; playing of role; action; behavior; institutions; mask; structure; function; actor; sociological theory;

Homo Sociologicus: What is Behind the Theme of Social Roles? This study is focused on the topic of social roles and concepts associated with it. It concerns the thematic and paradigmatic contexts in which the concept of social roles appeared and what perspectives it has opened in sociology. Special attention is paid to Dahrendorf´s book Homo Sociologicus, to the questions raised by this work, and how answers to them have been sought. The study goes on to explain how during the 70's and 80's the interest of sociologists moved from the topic of roles to the issue of social actors. In conclusion it considers why today it could be helpful to go back to the concept of social roles and how lines of reasoning on this issue could be promising and beneficial for the further development of sociological theory.

Homo sociologicus and the Society of Individuals

Homo sociologicus and the Society of Individuals

Author(s): Jiří Šubrt / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2017

Keywords: sociological theory; social role; role playing; actor; structure; function; individualism and holism

The present article follows the themes treated in “The Society of Individuals: How to Solve the Dilemma of Individualism and Holism in Historical Sociology” published in the journa Historická sociologie No. 1/2015. Its primary topic is social roles, a theme actively discussed in sociological literature from the 1950s to the 1980s but afterwards largely neglected because the concepts of individual human actors (agents) and their actions (agency) pushed the topic of roles to the sidelines. This article tries to show that despite this intellectual shift, the theme of social roles deserves attention even today, and in particular that the concept of “role playing” can be useful in sociological theory to resolve the seemingly irreconcilable opposition of individualistic and holistic approaches.

SINDBAD THE SURVIVOR

SINDBAD THE SURVIVOR

Author(s): Róbert Simon / Language(s): English / Issue: 1-2/2000

Keywords: Place and time of origin; sources and influences; Sindbad the man; fate and character; the problem of violence;

The paper critically reassesses the old and new data which may well be used with due foresight for dating the seven Sindbad tales as well as for putting this small collection of tales with its rather ambiguous hero into its proper social and aesthetic context. In doing this literary reassessment the author tries to restrain himself from the pitfalls of modernising which are hard to avoid in the case of such a seemingly modern personage like Sindbad the Sailor.

The Brașov Literary School - a philological and literary movement initiated after several favorable conjunctions in Brașov in the '80s - has evolved from a large literary cenacle in an industrial city to a complex phenomenon manifested in several main directions. The abundance of contributions to this dossier has defined the organization of materials in two parts: texts that discuss the programmatic character of the present-day School, texts dedicated to books signed by school members, followed by portraits, evocations and / or memories, and, of course, a consistent section of the illustrative texts - literature of the Brasov School.

Russian–Hungarian Paremiological Parallels (in Search of National Specifics)

Русско-венгерские паремиологические параллели (в поисках национальной специфики)

Author(s): Valery Mikhailovich Mokienko,Nikitina Tatiana Gennadievna / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: comparative paremiology; paremiography; proverbs; sayings; variants of paremias; proverbial borrowings and calques; Russians and Hungarian paremiological parallels;

Proverbs and sayings, which have always been considered the favourite genre of folklore and the representatives of the national mentality proper, have recently attracted particular attention of linguists. These are attempts to objectively establish the so-called “paremiological minimum” of different languages, the desire to measure the cognitive potential of the parеmias, and a broad comparative study of the proverbs and sayings of related and unrelated languages as well as a characteristic of the pragmatic capabilities of the latter. The present paper offers a comparative typological analysis of proverbs and sayings in the Russian and Hungarian languages. Despite their different genetic origins, it is in paremiology that there is a fairly large number of parallels of different types. The purpose of the paper is to identify such parallels and their classification by origin. The sources of such parallels are different: above all, longterm interaction with the paremiological systems of German and other European languages, including Slavic. Slavic paremiology, on the one hand, was a “donor” of borrowing in the form of tracing, on the other hand, it itself absorbed many Finno-Ugric paremias. That is why Hungarian paremiology and paremiography are of particular importance for comparative studies. And not only because the Hungarian language has historically absorbed a pan-European (including Slavic) paremiological heritage but also because Hungarian paremiography has long been one of the richest treasures of Hungarian and European small folklore. These collections of Hungarian proverbs and sayings against a broad interlanguage background are one of the most significant paremiological traditions. The rich paremiological collections accumulated by Hungarian researchers provide an opportunity for a detailed comparison of Slavic and Hungarian proverbs and sayings against a common European background and at the same time to trace the traces of direct Slavic–Hungarian contacts. Of particular importance in such a comparative study is the dialectal material, both in Hungarian and Slavic. When comparing the paremias of Russian and Hungarian languages, linguistic details are especially important, allowing to demonstrate the adaptation of the common European heritage to the Slavic and Finno-Ugric languages and to determine the proportion of similarities and differences between the respective paremias. It is not only genetic inertia but also the field of variation of borrowed proverbs and sayings that forms their national specificity. A comparative study shows that the Slavic variant proverb series look more compact and almost unchangeable. The variation of the Hungarian proverbs reveals a much wider amplitude, although it also retains the “classical” version as the main one. Some of them can be considered nationally specific despite the universality and globality of the range of some proverbs. The quota of national specificity for each of the options is different but it is the paremiological details that contain the national colour reflected in the language.

The Quasi-Revolution and Its Discontents: Emerging Political Pluralism in Post-Ceaușescu Romania

The Quasi-Revolution and Its Discontents: Emerging Political Pluralism in Post-Ceaușescu Romania

Author(s): Vladimir Tismăneanu / Language(s): English / Issue: 02/1993

Keywords: Romania; change of political system; post-1989 period; post-Ceausescu period; political pluralism;

The often convulsive and paradoxical regime transformation in post-1989 Romania cannot be grasped and analyzed thoroughly unless we dwell upon the characteristics of the Communist political culture there. Although subsiding significantly, the lingering climate of distrust, deception, and fear can be seen as a prolongation of the authoritarian patterns of leadership and domination exerted by the ruling elite in earlier decades. Post-Ceausescuism includes many elements that had been part of the political style of the Communist bureaucracy, including components of the symbolic structure of the old regime's legitimation.

Research Directions in German-Speaking Homiletics in the 21st Century (Part 2)

Kierunki badań w homiletyce niemieckojęzycznej XXI wieku (cz. 2)

Author(s): Leszek Szewczyk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 12/2020

Keywords: homiletics; theology of preaching; homiletic bibliography

The first part of the study presented activities of the German Homiletics Association (AGH), a publishing series Okumenische Studien zur Predigt, and homiletic theology handbooks. The second part, based on several dozens monographs published between 2000-2018, presents directions of research in German-speaking homiletics. A traditional, internal classification of homiletics into fundamental, material, formal and detailed one may seem purely academic, but remains justifiable. It allows us to prove that homiletics truly is a theological science in all its sections. Analysis of specific studies is done in a way that refers to this traditional division.

NIETZSCHE’S RELIGIOUS LIFE AS BODYING FORTH OF THE INFINITE

NIETZSCHEOV RELIGIOZNI ŽIVOT KAO TJELOVANJE BESKONAČNOSTI

Author(s): Boško Pešić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: Nietzsche; life; spirit; body; cheerfulness; infinite;

Nietzsche’s stance that it is to be written only of that which has been successfully handled may prove thematically ambiguous in a number of ways. Given that relevant interpreters of Nietzsche may consider this title as nothing but a forgery, a genuine approach to the thematic development of such a title has to establish a possible subtitle: what could religious life without religion even mean? Indeed, does this title contain anything but an unsuccessful provocation?! Is it too little to say that religious life as discussed here, understood through the key of Nietzsche’s philosophy, has nothing to do with the life of religiosity?! Nietzsche presents this “cheapest and most innocent mode of life” as bodying forth of the great mind in the pervasive intoxication. His language becomes a dance with things, while wisdom in such a dance appears as belonging to that which is infinite. This examination will, in comparison with the contemporary, attempt to shed light on such a thought landscape.

The language of menus: what do they tell us and how do they do it

Ēdienkaršu valoda: ko un kā tās mums stāsta

Author(s): Sanita Škapare / Language(s): Latvian / Issue: 11/2020

Keywords: menus in Latvian; menu structure; vocabulary; noun; diminutive; pragmatics;

Even though menus are a widespread type of text which plays an important role in shaping the identity of a catering company, the linguistic research carried out in the field of menus is scarce. Specialists of the catering industry quite often talk about the importance of menus and their role in the success of a business and emphasize that the job of creating menus should not be entrusted to amateurs. In the literature of hospitality industry, menus are not ignored, but instead are viewed from a marketing perspective, not a linguistic viewpoint. The arrival of international cuisine in Latvia raises the issue of product names in Latvian; since a well-written menu is a calling card for a catering company that can positively influence visitors’ perceptions. Many researchers point out that menus can be used as a successful tool in highlighting those menu items the catering company wants to sell the most. Tools like creative food names, use of adjectives and associations with childhood, for example, and introduction of foreign vocabulary can be used to achieve this goal. The aim of the study is to look at the content of the menus. The paper examines the usage of nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and verbs. The collected material consists of 50 menus in Latvian. The collected material was culled from catering companies’ publicly available websites or social media sites, and collected during the time frame of November 2018 to January 2019. The collected material represents catering companies from several cities of Latvia, for example, Riga, Kuldīga, Liepāja, Daugavpils, Sigulda, etc.

The World of Plants in the Dialectal Lexis of the Polish- Belarusian Borderland: An Analysis of A Dictionary of the Local Dialect of the Bielsk Podlaski Region (Słownik gwary bielsko-podlaszskiej)

Świat roślin w leksyce gwarowej na pograniczu polsko-białoruskim (na materiale Słownika gwary bielsko-podlaszskiej)

Author(s): Michał Mordań / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 55/2020

Keywords: dialectal lexis; East Slavic dialect; Polish-Belarusian borderland; dictionary; semantic fields; plants

This article presents a lexical analysis of vocabulary related to plants used in the Polish-Belarusian borderland. Source material comes from A Dictionary of the Local Dialect of the Bielsk Podlaski Region (Słownik gwary bielsko-podlaszskiej / Slovnik hovu͡оrki b’el’sko-pudl’ashskuĭ) by Mikołaj Wróblewski. The method of semantic fields applied in the study made it possible to identify the following groups: (1) trees and shrubs (јалу͡овец’, кл’у́ква, лішчы́на); (2) grasses, herbs and flowering plants, vines (гурчы́ц’а, кон’ушы́на, піры͡еј, хву͡ошчка); (3) fruits and vegetables (а́γрест, ры͡епа, сала́та, цібу́л’а, чорні́ц’а); (4) cereals (јачмі͡ен’, кукуру́за, ове́с); (5) mushrooms (дро́пл’а, мухомо́ра, сіроjі͡ежка); (6) parts of plants (гу͡ол’ка, корене́ц’, стебло́); (7) habitats and plant communities (бере́зінка, джу́нгліја, пере́лісок); (8) other nouns (омела́, по́росл’, садзо́нка); (9) features, properties (вул’хо́вы, доздры͡елы, оры͡еховы, прысо́хлы); (10) processes, activities (вкорені́тіс’е, вы́цвісті, зопры͡еті, позел’ені͡еті).

ON FORMS OF LEGAL CONSCIOUSNESS: AN EXAMPLE OF ONE ANALYSIS

О ФОРМАХ ПРАВОСОЗНАНИЯ: ПРИМЕР ОДНОГО АНАЛИЗА

Author(s): Sergey Shevtsov / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: law consciousness; ancient and medieval legal culture; Muslim law; justice; fairy tale, picture of the world;

The article raises the question of the possibility of reconstructing the legal consciousness of one culture and era in the categories and concepts of another. The subject of analysis is the plot of a medieval fairy tale from the collection Arabian Nights. Most European researchers of modern Europe perceive the plot of this story as a demonstration of the blatant injustice and corruption that reigned in Egypt during the Mamluk sultanate. At the same time this story appears completely different when correlated with the principles and norms of Muslim law. It tells how divine wisdom guides the people’s actions without them knowing, establishing order and justice in society. Fairy tales reveal the relationship between the upper world and the earth one, testify to the divine care for the daily life of people.

Adam Franciszek Epler (1902–1940): A Forgotten Musician of Interwar Lviv

Adam Franciszek Epler (1902–1940) – zapomniany muzyk międzywojennego Lwowa

Author(s): Wojciech Gurgul / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 02 (45)/2020

Keywords: Adam Epler; Lviv; guitar; mandolin orchestra; Polish Radio; Katyn massacre victim

This article is an introduction to the artistic profile of a Polish conductor, composer and guitarist Adam Franciszek Epler. This forgotten creative persona left the artistic legacy of compositions and arrangements for mandolin orchestra ensemble. Moreover, he was the first Polish guitarist playing Polish lute music, a founder of the first Polish guitar trio named Lwowskie Trio Gitarowe and a musician in the most popular interwar radio broadcast Wesoła Lwowska Fala. As a composer and conductor of the Orchestra of Mandolin Society “Hejnał” from Lviv, he also took part in numerous radio broadcasts of Polish Radio Lviv. His musical activities, similarly to the entire mandolin heritage in Poland and guitar history in interwar Poland, requires further research, and this article is one of the first contributions to these research topics.

The Hymns Translated by Peter Gottlieb Mielcke in the Official Hymn Book for Prussian Lithuania’s Evangelical Lutherans: Quantitative Aspect

Petro Gotlybo Milkaus verstos giesmės prūsijos lietuvos oficialiajame evangelikų liuteronų giesmyne: kiekybinis aspektas

Author(s): Birutė Triškaitė / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 85/2021

Keywords: Lithuanian writings of the 18th century; Peter Gottlieb Mielcke; Official Hymn Book for Prussian Lithuania’s Evangelical Lutherans; Johann Behrendt’s hymn book;

The article analyses the contribution made by Peter Gottlieb Mielcke (1695–1753) to the repertoire of hymns in Johann Behrendt’s (1667–1737) hymn book Iß naujo pérweiʒdėtos ir pagérintos Gieʃmû=Knygos (Königsberg, 1732, 1735, etc.) from the quantitative point of view. It also discusses the inclusion of the hymns translated by Mielcke in the later editions and versions of the Official Hymn Book for Prussian Lithuania’s Evangelical Lutherans. The analysis of the repertoires of hymns comprising the hymn books of the 18th–20th century shows that Mielcke made the most significant input into the first edition of Behrendt’s hymn book. Besides, there was a hymn translated by Mielcke and erroneously attributed to Adam Friedrich Schimmelpfennig (1699–1763) in certain subsequent editions of the hymn book.
