Toward a Theoretical and Historical Basis of the Jesuit Education

K teoretickým východiskám jezuitského vzdelávania

Author(s): Lukáš Jeník / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 4/2015

Keywords: rhetoric;studia humanitatis;renaissance philosophy and humanism;Jesuit education;

The aim of this article is to point out some theoretical and historical connection between the philosophies of Antiquity, Renaissance humanism and later Jesuit education. These topics underline the importance of rhetoric where the issue of human dignity, free will and learning objectives converge the Humanist ideals and Spirituality of Ignatius of Loyola together. These ideals are still relevant challenges and give us the opportunity for the development of Jesuit education today.

Current Problems with the Concept of Soul

Aktuálne problémy s pojmom duše

Author(s): Mária Spišiaková / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 4/2015

Keywords: human soul;mind-body problem;dualism;hylomorphism;consciousness;

The idea of human soul is present in the whole history of Christian teaching but the deeper philosophical analysis shows some inconsistencies in the use of this term. The classical Aristotelian-Thomistic concept of soul as a form of body doesn’t fit very well to the Christian idea of the life after death. Also the replacement of the “soul” with the term “mind” in analytical philosophy tends to the physicalist concept of human being. In return to these problems some new dualist (Moreland, Hasker) and hylomorfic (Jaworski) concepts were elaborated. The present article aims to show in what they correspond to the Christian teaching and what are problematic parts of them.

The Objectivity of Moral Values : The Problem of Max Scheler

Objektívnosť morálnych hodnôt : Problém Maxa Schelera

Author(s): Jozef Uram / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 4/2015

Keywords: Max Scheler;phenomenology;values;objetivity

The article analyses the meaning of values in the view of Max Scheler. Values are given a priori, and are “feelable” phenomena. The intentional feeling of love discloses values insofar as love opens a person evermore to beings-of-value (Wertsein). Although he proclaims the objectivity of values, some elements of his theory make the objectivity of values problematic. The first element is the access to values exclusively through the affective intuition and the second element is the understanding of moral value as a choice of superior value in the hierarchy of values. This perspective doesn’t correspondent to the truth of human being, makes the moral value relative and opens the doors for emotivism in the ethics.

Free Will Agency and Scientific Methods

Slobodné konanie a vedecké metódy skúmania

Author(s): Ľuboš Rojka / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 3/2015

Keywords: free will;personal agency;libertarian freedom;scientific method

Experience of free decision-making is, according to D. Pereboom, illusory, because there is no evidence of a change of the probabilities predicted from the observation of the brain activity. P. van Inwagen, for similar reasons, declares free will agency unknowable. The probabilistic models used by Pereboom a van Inwagen are limited. For an evidence about the influence of free will on human life, one needs to go into the field of scientific psychology. The goal of scientific methods in psychology is similar to empirical methods, and there are four important elements in their research: the description of the events, prediction of the future events, explanation of the causal relations among these events, and application of the acquired knowledge to improvement of human life. These four individual steps can demonstrate objectively observable influence of the libertarian free will on human behavior

Jesuit College in Spišská Kapitula

Author(s): Miroslav Varšo / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 3/2015

Keywords: Jesuit drama;school theatre;Spišská Kapitula

Jesuit baroque theatre spread out through the Europe by Jesuit colleges was a high educational and cultural effort in the time of the re-catolicism of the 17th–18th century. In Slovakia, as in other European countries, Jesuit drama had a great importance not just because of the intellectual and cultural struggle with the developed protestant theatre, but also as a way of education giving the important cultural imprint to the following generations. One of the educational centres in the east part of Upper Hungary (today Slovakia) was Spišská Kapitula. The preserved school dramas from Spišská Kapitula college disclose interesting informations about the dramas production, staging, language, spectators, students, teachers and some personalities having in the comming times an influence on the cultural and political development of the region.

Author(s): Dylan Sunjic / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 86/2015

Bilo je pola sata iza ponoći jedne zvjezdane noći na najprometnijoj cesti u Hrvatskoj. Mašući sam otpozdravljao svome prijatelju i njegovu ocu. Upravo smo skupa proveli šest sati u istraživanju grada. Polagano sam se vratio u svoj stan veselo raspoložen, znajući da ću imati ugodan noćni odmor, a da ću sljedeći dan s prijateljima ići na plažu.

Savremena psihofarmakoterapija u razvojnoj dobi

Author(s): Marija Burgić / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 86/2015

Iako su psihotropni lijekovi bili glavno terapijsko sredstvo u liječenje odraslih osoba s mentalnom bolešću u proteklih pola stoljeća, upotreba ovih lijekova u liječenju djece i adolescenata s psihičkim poremećajima je mnogo kraća. Jedan od razloga je da, doskora, specifične psihijatrijske dijagnoze nisu bile dobro definisane u pedijatrijskoj populaciji.

Novelties in the treatment of behavioural and psychological symptoms in dementia

Novine u liječenju bihevioralnopsiholoških simptoma u demenciji

Author(s): Bjanka Vuksan-Ćusa / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 86/2015

Usporedo sa starenjem stanovništva, demencija postaje jedan od vodećih psihijatrijskih poremećaja, s rastućim ukupnim troškovima skrbi za takve bolesnike. Do 2020. Godine se procjenjuje da će na svijetu biti 35 milijuna bolesnika s demencijom. Demencija, odnosno Alzheimerova bolest kao najčešći oblik demencije, progresivna je bolest koja zahvaća kognitivne funkcije. Kognitivna deterioracija, kao ključni simptom demencije, često je praćena bihevioralnim i psihološkim simptomima koji se skraćeno nazivaju BPSD. Navedeni simptomi se svrstavaju u određene skupine koji se mogu mijenjati u vremenu i intenzitetu.

Aggression and the use of antidepressants in adolescence

Agresivnost i upotreba antidepresiva u adolescenciji

Author(s): Zihnet Selimbašić / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 86/2015

Fenomen ljudske agresivnosti predstavlja interakciju bioloških, psiholoških i socijalnih varijabli koji obuhvaća multiformne osobenosti - od negativne emocionalnosti, depresije do antisocijalnih ponašanja. Utvrđena je veza između agresivnog ponašanja i pojedinih regija mozga. Limbički sistem, hipotalamus, regije moždanog stabla, moduliraju agresivno ponašanje. Agresivno ponašanje je modulirano od više neuroanatomskih pozicija i pomoću mnogih neurotransmiterskih sistema uključujući: serotoninski, noradrenalinski, dopaminski, acetilholinski, GABA i opoidni sistem. Uprkos složenosti neurohemije agresivnog ponašanja, animalna proučavanja jasno pokazuju da se agresivno ponašanje značajno može mijenjati modifikacijom specifičnih transmiterskih sistema. U moždanom stablu, najprimitivnijem dijelu mozga, serotonin je odgovoran za kontolu fundamentalnih fizioloških aspekata u tijelu. Serotonin je involviran u mnoge ponašajne aspekte, emocionalna i psihička stanja, prehranu, agresivnost, raspoloženje i na taj način serotoninska aktivnost u širokom spektru „serotoniskih poremećaja“ kao što su depresija, shizofrenija, Parkinsonova bolest (Jacobs, 1994). Amfetaminski preparati dovode do pojačane aktivnosti noradrenalina, dopamina i serotonina i da pojačana transmisija u dopaminergičnom i noradrenergičnom sistemu dovodi do izražavanja agresivnog ponašanja (Man, 2000). Konzumiranje alkohola izaziva pojačanu aktivnost serotonina, prolazno ekscesivno povećanje serotonina i noradrenalina dovode do agresivnosti koju porast serotonina ne može modulirati.
