ФОРМИРОВАНИЕ ФИЛОСОФСКОЙ ПРОБЛЕМАТИКИ «ЕВГЕНИЯ ОНЕГИНА» (НА МАТЕРИАЛЕ ПЕРВОЙ ГЛАВЫ)

Author(s): Evgeniy Vasilevich Sintsov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2015

The development of meanings similar to philosophical ideas is revealed in the first chapter of “Eugene Onegin”. A.S. Pushkin based them on the complex and contradictory relationship between the protagonist and the way of his life. Onegin’s dependence on the latter and attempts to assert his individuality in the whirlwind of everyday life give rise to a number of artistic problems, which are close to philosophical reflections on the meaning and purpose of human existence, happiness and its sources, true and false values, as well as their ability to fill life with genuine or illusory sense. The paper proves the thesis that such artistic and philosophical ideas organize the internal artistic unity of the first chapter, turning it into an exposition of “Eugene Onegin” as a philosophical novel.

ПИСАТЕЛЬСКИЙ СТИЛЬ ЧАКА ПАЛАНИКА

Author(s): Anastasiya Igorevna Zholud / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2016

This paper is devoted to the writing style of Chuck Palahniuk, a modern American author. The writer owes the international acknowledgment to his scandalously famous novel “Fight Club”. He has been named “the king of counterculture” due to the nihilistic themes and motifs used by him. Ch. Palahniuk’s creativity has been often examined in the light of the influence of the romantic tradition; special attention has been paid to the existential problematics, which appears to be the major focus of many of the writer’s novels. Ch. Palahniuk’s most emblematic works, especially his non-fiction book “Stranger than Fiction: True Stories”, as well as the novels “Fight Club” and “Invisible Monsters”, served as the basis for analyzing the author’s creativity in this paper. Ch. Palahniuk’s numerous interviews and the works of a number of American researchers and scholars, who associate Ch. Palahniuk’s creativity with the traditions of the New Journalism, were also considered. The conclusion was made that the technique used by Ch. Palahniuk in most of his works makes it possible to consider them in the light of postmodernism. Minimalism and dynamism are the key features of the writing style of Ch. Palahniuk, which make his works more understandable and attractive to the general public.

Uloga individualiteta u kontekstu dijaloga moderne

Author(s): Đuldina Kurtović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 3/2016

Philosophical thinking and understanding of individuality and its role in the context of the crisis of modernity is necessary so we could objectively and critically perceive the picture of modernity, but also to perceive its crisis. Many philosophers, among which is impossible not to mention philosophical thought of Hegel and Kierkegaard, were thinking about self return, the importance of individuality and the birth of subjective freedom. Both of them agreed in the case of turning point in the history of human spirit, the turning point which was marked as the path of self return. That turning point they saw in Sokrates, and it was decisive for the birth of consciousness of freedom. Although Hegel and Kierkegaard differed in many ways, this turning point was place where two of them had met and agreed. On this fundament where self –determined and self-consciousness individual is established, it is possible to expect overcoming the crisis of modernity. This overcoming requires special kind of dialogue that will be full of tolerance and mutual respect.

Структуриране на личността в психоаналитична перспектива

Author(s): Silviya Kristeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2016

This paper will search to offer a model of the whole-integrated personality with encompassing the structure, the areas and the internal specifications and connections in the personality universum. For this purpose we will follow and derive the basic conceptual models which exist and generalize what personality is in our comprehension. This also will be a phenomenological reconstructing of fundamental types of projections in personality constituting – we will derive the initial approaches to the world of I-instance in Descartes and Kant, but basically we will define the process personality in Hegel as the result of process-ending of the pure thought system. We will also draw for consideration Heidegger’s model in analyzing the personality as an event, as a phenomenon of the live and actual human presence in the world. Thou the essential goal is reconstructing the three-instance psychoanalytical model which will be considered in unexpected configuration by drawing together of S. Freud’s and A. Maslow’s personality depth-structuring. The hypothesis raised up here is: Maslow’s pyramid of basic needs, in its hierarchy reflects a general structuring of the levels of the personality universum, with this the areas of integrity, continuity and I-projecting of whole personality will be formed.

Ценностите – универсалии между нормата и емпирията

Author(s): Lyubomir Christov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2016

In its genesis this work of writing is “nest-like” and particular. It was born in the inevitable for any explorer solitary communion with the books (those most unselfish friends of ours), in conversations, in the spiritual confrontation of concepts, in degrading societal and intellectual relations … Do not ask where! In the overcrowded lap of solitude, of course…. Some of the “nests” date back from those odious totalitarian times. Others shaped up after the “democratic” catastrophe in Eurasia, whose levelling mediocrity and amoral demagogy set out to sweep up certain invaluable and idiosyncratic cultural and ethnic traditions… Verbally, though, they became possible as a result of concentrated philosophical speculation…

To present the scope of Heidegger’s existential analytic, the following Existentials can be structured: World, Everydayness, Care, Death, and Conscience. Each and every Existential will be considered through its visual and language codes.

Wiedza boska a wiedza ludzka. Boska synestezja w filozofii Ksenofanesa z Kolofonu

Author(s): Sebastian Śpiewak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 49/2023

The aim of the present article is to analyze the poetry of Xenophanes of Colophon concerning his epistemological considerations with the notion of god proposed by him. Traditionally, Xenophanes is well known as a philosopher engaged in the debate on the meaningfulness of mythological ideas. At the same time, he advocates the concept of god, which is different from pictures transmitted through The Greek epic. It shall be shown how the theological approach of the Colophonian finds its justification in his remarks on cognitive abilities, especially in creatively used opposition between human and divine knowledge. Recently indicated, the connection between Xenophanes’ theology and his epistemological theses is not exhausted in the critique of religious anthropomorphism but is more profound, and based on the awareness of the impossibility of clear knowledge (saphes) for a human being. The latter is, however attributed to god alone, who gains the knowledge in the manner of synesthesia.

Religion Lessons and Existential Questions of Children at the Early School Stage. Case Study of a Gifted, Asynchronously Developing Child

Author(s): Kinga Lisowska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

In a dynamically developing world, undergoing continuous cultural, social, economic and political changes, people for centuries now have been looking for answers to basic questions relating to the human lifecycle of birth – existence – death. Children, who are in the identity-shaping phase, experience even more acutely than adults lack of a well-established structure of thinking in terms of the continuity of their being, the meaning and purpose of life, their own death and that of those close to them. They should, therefore, be given an opportunity to find their own way in this respect during school catechesis. This article presents the importance of school catechesis in the search for answers to existential questions posed by primary school children. The presented research was based on a case study of an 8-year-old boy, a second-grade student, whose existential functioning in the period of two years of schooling was determined by school catechesis. It is characterized by continuity in the questions posed by the child as well as a change in experiencing the sense of the lack of meaning and purpose of life, death, searching for and evaluating the elements of good and evil. In the first year of catechesis, the boy “eased” his fear of the end of human life, and in the second year he realized that the source of answers to the questions bothering him were values, principles and examples promoted in the Catholic faith and the community of God.

MOVING THE SOUL THROUGH THE BODY IN JAPANESE PILGRIMAGE

Author(s): Mihaela-Lacramioara Ivan / Language(s): English Issue: 38/2024

Research on pilgrimages in Japan is dominated by approaches from fields such as history, geography and sociology, but there are few studies that squarely address the significance of pilgrimages to the West from a religious studies perspective. Furthermore, there is almost no research on pilgrimage texts specific to the Edo period, such as sacred place records. On the other hand, research in Europe and the US has often focused on the religious significance of pilgrimages, and overwhelmingly, Shikoku pilgrimage with a typical circular structure has been taken up in terms of contrast with linear pilgrimages in Christian and other regions. Recent research in the Christian world has tended to clarify the relationship between travel (pilgrimage) and tourism, but the role of the body in the religious and spiritual tradition of pilgrimage has not been sufficiently examined. Furthermore, in the 1970s and 1980s, there was a growing awareness that visits, pilgrimage journeys and tours were by bus, and the number of people making pilgrimages on foot declined rapidly. Pilgrimage journeys are designed to benefit the present world by visiting Kannon Bosatsu (Boddhisattva) enshrined in various places, but they are also intended as a practice to benefit the afterlife, to move the body and to satisfy the mind. In other words, it may have been thought since ancient times that if one embarked on a pilgrimage journey to express daily gratitude, he or she would finally be saved after death. This paper considers how the role of the body has changed since the days of buses and other forms of transport. In doing so, it will be seen that the role of the body still carries sacred objects and plays an important role in reaching Buddhahood.

CONSIDERATIONS ON THE COMPILATION PROCESS OF SAIKOKU SANJŪSANSHO KANNON REIJŌKI AND SAIKOKU JUNREI UTAGENCHŪ – ON TSUJIMOTO MOTOSADA’S SAIKOKU SANJŪSANSHO KANNON REIJŌKI ZUE

Author(s): Mihaela-Lacramioara Ivan / Language(s): English Issue: 38/2024

In the Edo period an extensive road system is created, and thus average people get engaged in walking the paths of Saikoku pilgrimage. While Saikoku pilgrimage becomes widespread within the whole country, it also gets tainted with strong entertainment features. This infiltration into society and people’s lives leads to a great number of pilgrimage texts. Among them, the texts written by Buddhist priests, to serve them when preaching the way in which Kannon’s salvific powers work on people who entrust their faith in the bodhisattva, are of important interest. Especially, a set of pilgrimage texts written by the Jōdo (Pure Land) priest Kōyo Shunō in 1726, Saikoku Sanjūsansho Kannon Reijōki (hereafter cited as Kannon Reijōki) (Record of the Thirty-three Holy Locales of Saikoku), and Saikoku Junrei Utagenchū (the interpretation of goeika, poem-prayers for each of the 33 temples), that take a double layer structure, guide the pilgrim from the surface layer of this worldly benefits into the deep layer of the after world salvation. Kōyo’s texts were targeted at priests who taught the Buddhist law to laymen, but in 1803 Tsujimoto Motosada edits the original work and rearranges it so as to be available for commoners’ level of understanding. Saikoku Sanjūsansho Kannon Reijōki Zue (hereafter cited as Kannon Reijōki Zue) (The Collected Pictorial Guide of the Thirty-Three Kannon Holy Locales of Saikoku) becomes very popular and is republished in 1833 and 1845. In this article, I will focus on the way Tsujimoto rearranged Kōyo’s texts and I will consider the religious nature of Saikoku pilgrimage in the late Edo period.
