Moreover, incorporating this concept in guided healing and self-healing depends on the experimental evidences, but also on a good understanding forgiveness as a process, but also as a final or intermediary objective in therapy is required.

Стил на взаимоотношение между ученици и учители в училищна среда

Author(s): Sezgin Bekir,Ergyul Tair / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

The article presents results of a research of student – teacher relationship styles in the school environment, measured by the stroke economy. The sample includes 339 students between the ages of 13 to 15, of whom 198 are from vulnerable and 141 are from invulnerable groups, and 229 teachers between the ages of 24 to 65. The results present significant differences in the styles used by the three groups. Students from vulnerable groups declare preferences for the styles “Don't accept” and “Don't give yourself”, which is expressed in a tendency to devalue their own achievements and successes. Students from invulnerable groups and teachers express preferences for the styles “Don't accept” and “Don't ask”, which suggests manifestations of characteristics such as confidence and a tendency to reject compliments. The obtained results can be used as an approach to increase the efficiency of the student-teacher relationship and improve the social climate in the classroom.

Институционални механизми за генериране на образователните неравенства

Author(s): Elena Lavrentsova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2022

The article is dedicated to one of the fundamental social problems – the problem of inequality in the field of education and the mechanisms of its reproduction. The author's view of the problem is related to understanding the evolution of the institute of education in the light of the accompanying scientific discourse, which usually starts with the issue of equal access to educational resources, and then emphasizes on discussing the possibilities for equality of educational outcomes. The author traces several main stages that reveal the progressive movement of the institutional nature of education, especially in the direction of expanding its accessibility, openness and efficiency, which at the same time remains firmly embedded in the existing system of stratification. Attention is paid mainly to the analysis of the way in which the institutional instruments in the form of selection and differentiation are materialized in the complex mechanisms and realities of the pedagogical process and contribute to the exacerbation of educational inequalities.

Whence Does Good Come? Notes on Plato’s Moral Psychology

Author(s): Gianluigi Segalerba / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2023

In my study, I investigate some questions related to Plato’s discussion of the origins of Evil in the individual’s soul and of the possible solutions to the presence of Evil in it. The lack of the correct equilibrium between the parts of the soul exposes the individual to the moral degeneration; conversely, exclusively the correct equilibrium between the parts of the soul leads the individual to the correct composition between the parts of the soul. In particular, exclusively the development of the rational part of the soul, and its consequent leadership over the other parts, brings the indivi-dual to the right formation of the soul. The development of the rational part of the soul will not come about by itself: it needs an appropriate education, which can be reached only after a long and difficult process. The development of the rational part of the soul can be reached only through the disciplines preparing the philosophical education and through the philosophical education itself. The development of the rational part of the soul brings the individual nearer to the dimension of Being, thus opening for the individual a new dimension of experience, of knowledge and of life. At the same time, the philosophical education diminishes the attention of the individual’s soul for the dimension of Becoming. The cultivation and strengthening of the rational part bring about a progressive diminution of the force of the other parts of the soul, in particular, of the appetitive part of the soul. I concentrate my analysis on passages of Plato’s Republic.

Борба с детската смъртност- организации, институции, дейности (Исторически поглед 19-20 век)

Author(s): Nadezhda Mihaylova-Georgieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2020

The aim of the study is to investigate the fight against infant mortality in the second half of 19-th century till the 1930-s, by examining it in four selected countries, significantly different in rates of the indicators and development of the healthcare system – France, Great Britain, Russia, USA. Methodology A historical documentary method is applied for achieving the aim. There are some common features of the fight against infant mortality for the defined period in the four countries – recognition of infant mortality as a socially important problem, expansion and enrichment of the statistics, and on their basis development and implementation of measures for its reduction. Risks related to the mother, low socio-economic status, bad hygiene, especially in urban environments are the main reasons for the high infant mortality rates. Physicians and social reformers are the main actors in the development of organizations fighting infant mortality. Charity has a leading role in improving child health in the lack of social policy. During the first half of the 20th century legislation was passed in many countries on the protection of motherhood and childhood, aimed at all regardless of their socio-economic status. Specific structures and organizations for prevention mothers and children are established, good practices such as health-visitors are applied, medical and social approaches are integrated. The fight against infant mortality entered a new stage after the Second World War, grounded on the concept of the development of maternal and child healthcare, when the major scientific inventions in medicine contribute to its successful realization.

Educating the Jews to Become Germans: Naftali Herz Homberg’s ‘Civilizing Mission’ to the Jewish Community of Galicia

Author(s): Armin Langer / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The isolation of Jews in the German states and territories began decreasing in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. At the same time, Jews started to represent a ‘problem’ for the enlightened concept of a modern society with its uncompromising demand for cultural homogeneity. Philosophers of the Enlightenment, such as Kant, implied that Jewish religious observance stood for a separatist interpretation of religion and wanted to ‘educate’ the Jews to be Germans. This ‘education’ was also promoted by enlightened Jews, such as the Austro-Bohemian educator Naftali Herz Homberg (1749–1841), who was the superintendent of German-Jewish schools of Galicia. In my paper, I analyze Homberg’s magnum opus Bne-Zion which was meant to function as a catechism for the enlightened Jewish youth. The intention of this paper is to add a new sociological perspective to the Homberg bibliography, with an emphasis on intergroup relations between the Jewish minority and the non-Jewish majority. I look into the assimilationist policies of the German Enlightenment and the Austrian Empire, and try to show how these were internalized by Homberg in his work.
