Constantin Dobrogeanu-Gherea în lectura postbelică din România

Author(s): Cristian Preda / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 3/2002

Les lectures de l’oeuvre du marxiste roumain C. Dobrogeanu-Gherea ont été plus critiques dans sa propre famille idéologique que sous toute autre perspective. L’article décrit les différentes visions de cette oeuvre très riche produites après 1945; la contestation idéologique et la contestation scientifique sont suivies par une tentative de récupérer les textes de Gherea, soit dans une perspective sociologique, soit dans une lecture philosophique. C’est ainsi que Gherea devient d’un ennemi de la doctrine officielle, anti-marxiste et anti-prolétaire, le premier sociologue marxiste au monde ou bien le Père fondateur du socialisme international. Lue autrement, ‘histoire des interprétations de Gherea décrit la carte intellectuelle du marxisme roumain d’après 1945.

Imago Dei in St. Thomas Aquinas: A Philosophical and Anthropological Analysis of Man Created in the Image of God

Author(s): Wojciech Kilan / Language(s): English Issue: 62/2023

Image as a philosophical concept has a long and complex history that begins as early as antiquity. Christian scholars included it in their philosophical studies in the form of imago Dei. In this paper, I analyzed the works of St. Thomas Aquinas to determine the anthropological consequences that follow from the idea of human creation in the image of God. I first establish that humans as beings created in the image of God participate through their intellect in God’s nature. I then present three stages of human participation in God. Subsequently, I defend the classical theory of Aquinas against contemporary reinterpretation of his thought. I argue that Aquinas rightly claims that only the intellectual part of the human soul is, strictly speaking, created in God’s Image, while the human body (and other irrational creatures) resembles God in the likeness of a trace.

Увид у неке методолошке дилеме и спорења у истраживању интелектуалне историје

Author(s): Pavle Antonijević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2023

The article attempts to present some methodological approaches, controversies, and dilemmas in the research of intellectual history. First, the paper shows a dispute over the subject matter and the definition of the discipline from the perspective of influential scholars in the field. The major part of the study aims to show several methodological approaches: the traditional method of the “history of ideas” in the USA, the linguistic contextualism of the “Cambridge school”, the relationship between postmodernism and intellectual history, as well as social intellectual history. Similarities and differences between selected approaches are discussed considering their contributions and shortcomings. The final part of the article examines contemporary trends within the discipline, offering one of the potential solutions for earlier crises and methodological difficulties.

Truth and Modalities (II)

Author(s): Fabrice Pataut / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

I contrast two construals of the thesis that truth is independent of verifiability in principle: a modal one and a non modal one. I argue in favor of the modal construal and then, on that basis, that independence holds across the board, i.e., even for statements that are verifiable by us relative to familiar, customary, non-skeptical standards.

The endophilosophy of interculturalism as a new terminology to describe the equilibrium of Being within the construction of Culture and Identity

Author(s): Arjan Çuri,Ilda Kashami / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

Research on the meanings of self and others’ perceptions, beliefs, values, and attitudes in intracultural and intercultural relations is of significant social relevance. A micro-analysis of its development as a whole process differentiated by the single substrates from an endophilosophical and ontological viewpoint will allow the implementation of a new definition of the self, being, and other according to the principles of dynamics and interculturality. This new sense of defining being will not only produce a good conception of the impact of culture on identity but also depict how the opposite, or pathogenic identity, should be considered, especially in times of existential crisis and change. Healthy or pathogenic patterns themselves organize situations where the basic needs of interaction with space are constructed and the equilibrium of everyone is maintained. Therefore, depending on the received information, professionals can formulate an objective analysis of the conscious self.

И отново: към какво няма интерес естетическата незаинтересованост? (Шопенхауер след Хобс)

Author(s): Ognian Kassabov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2023

The article retraces a broader context for the emergence of the notions driving the disputed idea of aesthetic disinterestedness, first, by looking at how Shaftesbury aimed to counter Hobbes’s concept of desire as an individual-centred, unsatisfiable drive to possess. In a second step, the article maps those tensions onto tensions within Schopenhauer’s aesthetics and metaphysics (usually classed in a quite different tradition of thinking), where we meet a notoriously extreme version of disinterestedness. The article argues that to make sense of it, it is worthwhile to interpret Schopenhauer’s contrast between a desire-driven, growth-seeking everyday life and the calm repose of aesthetic contemplation as a radical version of an opposition to the emerging capitalist lifeworld that put its mark onto aesthetics as it shaped itself as a self-standing discipline through the 18th–19th centuries.

КАКВО МОГАТ ДА НАУЧАТ МАРКЕТОЛОЗИТЕ ОТ ФИЛОСОФИТЕ? ФИЛОСОФИЯТА НА ПАЗАРНИТЕ ОТНОШЕНИЯ И МАРКЕТИНГА ОТ ПЛАТОН ДО НАШИ ДНИ

Author(s): Neviana Krasteva,Aleksey Potebnya / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2023

One of the age-old aspirations of people is to understand how we think about certain things and experiences and thus to influence or learn from these motivations that can inspire future generations of marketers to use them as “principles” in their next strategic portfolio or marketing innovation. These principles are guided by fear, regret, joy and happiness, or something as simple as FoMo. There are many reasons why we do what we do, and marketers are paid a lot of money to answer exactly that – “why” and “what” we do as consumers, people and trendsetters. The purpose of this article is to clarify what marketers can learn from philosophers, from Plato’s existing knowledge of thinking about market relations and marketing to the subsequent development of concepts of marketing relationships with consumers. The method includes an interdisciplinary review of the literature. To better understand the history leading up to the marketing concept, we first look at the history and evolution of the marketing concept and philosophy, based on Plato’s work based on two of his most influential works, The Republic (also known as The State). “, Written around 375 BC) and” Laws “- from the later works of the philosopher. The main finding is that Plato considers the market system not only useful but also necessary for a prosperous society. Then the marketing concept and philosophy and some misconceptions about it are discussed. This article fills the gap in the literature by looking at the marketing system through a philosophical prism based on an interdisciplinary approach.

The Importance of Symbols in the Sufi Tradition: An Example of the Concept of Justice

Author(s): Tuğçe Şensöz / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

The concept of justice is a concept that has been emphasized in every age, every religious and moral life style and every culture since the emergence of the philosophical way of thinking. In all social, religious or moral perspectives, the concept of justice is expressed with different symbols in a guiding nature. Symbols inspired by nature such as the sun, moon and stars are also examples of these. We see that the concept of justice is discussed and examined in the light of symbols in the Mayan civilization, Ancient Chinese teachings and Ancient Greek thought, as well as in the Islamic Sufi tradition. The concept of justice, which is the sum and integrator of the virtues, regulates their functioning and organizes the entire moral life within the framework of the principles of fairness and equality, has functioned like a sun or a pole star in the Islamic Sufi tradition. In this article, the place of the concept of justice in Islamic mysticism will be discussed through symbols. Considering justice as a natural figure, its effect on the Sufis' perception of spirituality will be examined, based on the original definition that emerged in Islamic Sufism. Thus, it is aimed to make this concept clear and understandable by showing the aspects of the concept of justice, which has a deep-rooted historical and cultural background, that contribute to both theoretical and practical life in Islamic Sufi thought.

The Act of Grieving in The Philosophy of Așik Veysel- The Role of Cultural Codes in the Healing Process in Spiritual Support and Guidance

Author(s): Emel Sünter,Nisan Şaşal / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

Aşık Veysel is an important representative of the minstrel tradition in the context of Turkish thought. Looking at the philosophical depth of his poems, it is possible to see a philosophy of life. The subject of this study is to analyse the meaning of the image/metaphor of the act of pouring trouble in one of his poems and to determine how this image is effective in the healing process in spiritual support and guidance. In other words, it is to examine the effect of cultural codes on people in an anthropological context. In this sense, it is an applied study. The study was carried out in a tent city in Adıyaman, one of the provinces damaged by the earthquake that occurred in 11 provinces on 6 February 2023. The study was conducted in two different time periods. Four different groups were studied. In this study, the impact of spiritual support and guidance activities on "adults" was presented. In summary, when we look at the effect of cultural codes on the healing process, it can be seen that it contributes greatly to the search for meaning in such extraordinary moments of crisis.

КАНТОВА ЕСТЕТИКА КАО КРИТИКА ЛЕПОГ

Author(s): Saša Ž. Radovanović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 79/2022

The paper discusses Kant’s understanding of aesthetics. The analysis relies on the place of the Critique of Judgment in his system of critical thinking. In such a system of critical thinking, there is no science of beauty, but only criticism of beauty. This critique of beauty in Kant’s aesthetics is realized as an analysis of beauty. The analysis of beauty is carried out as an analysis of the judgments of taste, guided by moments analogous to the logical functions of the judgments of understanding from the Critique of Pure Reason. In the end, it is concluded that Kant’s notion of criticism is appropriate for the notion of fine art.

За някои идеи и закономерности в развитието на българската философия в един ръкопис от архива на В. Свинтила. Методологически и евристични аспекти

Author(s): Kosta Benchev / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 2/2023

The article discusses general issues of methodological interest related to the investigations on the history of Bulgarian philosophy. It is based on the analysis of a yet unpublished manuscript written by the Bulgarian writer Vladimir Svintila during the 1970s. The influence of the Enlightenment and of some supposedly Cartesian themes at the time of the Bulgarian National Revival is traced through concepts like polarity and duality. Some problems and approaches are identified that have a relatively invariant (or nationally- conditioned) character in the work of Bulgarian philosophers.

Разказът за нашия дом: Екологията, философията и силата на местата

Author(s): Stoyan Stavru / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2023

The article compares Pope Francis's encyclical “LAUDATO SI” (2015) and the report by the Club of Rome, “”ome On!: Capitalism, Short-termism, Population and the Destruction of the Planet” (2018), in how they harness the narrative potential of the concept of home. Both with overtly religious and entirely secular arguments, the narrative of our common home is presented as a possible alternative to the prevailing narrative of growth today. The metaphor of home possesses not only conceptual but also generative power to offer concrete solutions to two of humanity's most pressing issues today: the problem of waste and the problem of climate change. The narrative of home activates the power of local places while simultaneously seeking global balance on a worldwide scale. The study focuses on how the narrative of home transforms the relationship with places and the balance between the local and the global.
