BHAGAVADGITA

Author(s): / Language(s): Romany

Translation to Romany language of the ancient Indian epic "Bhagavad Gita". / "We translated the ancient Indian epic Bhagavadgita for the first time in the world in the Roma language some ten years ago. The first variant of the text was published in the Andral magazine Nos 10, 19-20, 21, 22-23, 24, 25-26, 27-28 and 29-30 from 2000 till 2003. A decade after the first translation came to light, the translation comes out in a separate revised version. Many times I have pointed out that for me the Andral translations are no more than preliminary attempts; it was far more important for us to participate in a ‘game’ aiming at a goal that was next to impossible in the past and dare tackle the linguistic problems that occurred. The different texts are merely challenges for different solutions. No venture, no win." / "U puranuindueku eposi “Bhagavadgita” irizyam rromani chshibati agu drom desh bresh anglal.

Silence as a symbol of death in the reflection of Gisèle Brelet and Tōru Takemitsu

Author(s): Marek Dolewka / Language(s): English Issue: 03 (30)/2016

The link between silence and death has been a recurring theme of human thought and can often be found in reflections on music. Among many attempts to approach this problem, the author of this paper focuses on those done by Gisèle Brelet and Tōru Takemitsu. The “faithful companion” of music which “perpetually is born, dies and is born again” – this is one of the ways in which French musicologist describes silence. “For a human being, there is always the duality of life and death. Music as an art form always has to connect vehemently with both” – notices Japanese composer, who in another statement combines silence with “the dark world of death”. Interestingly, both Brelet and Takemitsu arrive at the conclusion that such connotations may well be the source of the fear of silence that affects some composers or performers. Despite different contexts, some analogies to their thought – like connecting silence with nothingness and loneliness – may be also found in the Canadian composer Raymond Murray Schafer’s writings, presented fragmentarily in the last subsection. The differences in the notion of the problem between the authors are, moreover, discussed in this paper.

ŽIVI SUFIZAM - Ogledi o sufizmu

Author(s): Seyyed Hossein Nasr / Language(s): Bosnian

Iz brojnih razloga - ponekih pozitivnih, a mnogih negativnih - ima dosta zanimanja za sufizam na Zapadu i među modernim, obrazovanim klasama islamskog svijeta. Raspad jednog manjeviše homogenog “vrijednosnog sistema” modernog svijeta; osjećaj nesigurnosti u odnosu na budućnost; nerazumijevanje poruka religija koje prevladavaju na Zapadu, posebno kršćanstva, čije su inherentne pouke sve nedostupnije; želja za vizijom duhovnog svijeta u okruženju kojem sve više nedostaje kvaliteta te mnogi drugi faktori - svi zajedno - doprinose toj potrazi za duhovnim učenjima orijentalnih religija. Ova potraga na Zapadu je započela već sa prethodnom generacijom, pojavom općeg interesa za hinduizam i budizam; međutim, pošto je mnogo toga napisanog, čak i prakticiranog u tom periodu bilo ili lažno ili, u najboljem slučaju, površno, zanimanje za te tradicije – posebno u proučavanju vedante i zena – uskoro postaje pomodnost koja je - za generaciju koja traži stalno nova i drugačija iskustva, bez dubljeg prodiranja u bilo koje od njih – brzo postala dosadna i zamorna.

ISLAM U KULTURNOM IDENTITETU EUROPE

Author(s): Rešid Hafizović / Language(s): Bosnian

U sveukupnoj povijesti muslimanskog mišljenja klasična perzijska poezija je bila ta koja je već od ranijih vremena položila temelje onoj duhovnoj pojavi u mislećoj tradiciji islama danas znanoj kao ‘religija ljubavi’(dīn al-’ishq, madhab al-’ishq). Motrena u svjetlu duhovnih činjenica uzetih iz sveobuhvatnog sadržaja primarnih vrela islama Kur’āna i Hadīsa, ‘religija ljubavi’se jednostavno nadaje kao istinska vjera u pogledu Božijem od predvječnosti do postvječnosti, posebice ukazivanjima o činu Božijeg stvaranja svijeta i krunskog Božijeg stvorenja u njemu – čovjeka. Bez nje kao takvegotovo da uopće nije moguće podizati ono što se nazivakulturnim identitetom jedne društvene zajednice. Kakogod je Ljubav prevladavala u Božijem tvoračkom razvijanju‘stranica’ Prirode kao ‘prve objave’ Božije, skupa sa božanskim atributima Znanja i Milosti, ona je većma dominirala i u Božijem oblikovanju njegova krunskog stvorenja, čovjeka, koga je Bog oblikovao u dvije egzistencijalne inačice (Sād, 75), dotaknuvši ga sa ‘svoje Dvije Ruke’, smjestivši njegovo srce ‘među dva prsta Milostivoga’,1 to jeste između božanske Ljubavi i Znanja, i učinivši ga jednom od krajnjih svrha vlastitog stvaranja,baš onih svrha u čijim ljudskim cjeloživotnim plodovima trebaju biti sukusirani najbolji učinci božanske Ljubavi i Znanja.

Максим Изповедник. Въведение в мисловната му система

Author(s): Georgi Kapriev / Language(s): Bulgarian

If there is an author with whom all the volumes of the dominant philosophical style in Byzantium can be covered at a high level, if we want to enter this style through the work of a single philosopher, his name without any doubt is Maximus the Confessor. In every aspect - in a meaningful, structural and methodological perspective - he should be regarded as the father of Byzantine philosophy and of Byzantine theology in general, so his significance for the East is comparable only to Augustine's importance for Western culture.

Момчето

Author(s): Natsume Sōseki / Language(s): Japanese,Bulgarian

Like “The Catcher in the Rye” or “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, “Botchan”, a hilarious tale about a young man's rebellion against "the system" in a country school, is a classic of its kind. Among Japanese readers both young and old it has enjoyed a timeless popularity, making it, according to Donald Keene, "probably the most widely read novel in modern Japan." The setting is Japan's Deep South, where the author himself spent some time teaching English in a boys' school. Into this conservative world, with its social proprieties and established pecking order, breezes Botchan, down from the big city, with scant respect for either his elders or his noisy young charges; and the result is a chain of collisions large and small. Much of the story seems to occur in summer, against the drone of cicadas, and in many ways this is a summer book light, funny, and never slow-moving. Here, in a lively new translation much better suited to Western tastes than any of its forebears, Botchan's homespun appeal is all the more apparent, and even those who have never been near the sunlit island on which these calamitous episodes take place should find in it uninterrupted entertainment.

RIZNICA MEVLEVIJSKE MUDROSTI

Author(s): Elvir Musić / Language(s): Bosnian

Knjiga Riznica mevlevijske mudrosti nastala iz pera istaknutog istraživača dr. Elvira Musića predstavlja ‘kap’ iz širokog i dubokog okeana autentičnog tesavvufa i gnoze. Uz životopis, autor je uložio veliki napor da na temelju djela Behau Veleda, Burhanuddina Tirmizija, Šemsa Tabrizija i Sultana Veleda predstavi misao Mevlana Dželaluddina Belhija (Rumi). Sve ove osobe, s izuzetkom Sultana Veleda, su imale velikog utjecaja na oblikovanje Rumijeve ličnosti, čovjeka kojeg su velikani nazvali ‘drvetom poniklim iz vrta islamske kulture’ i čiji je utjecaj u promoviranju i razvoju islamske kulture nesporan. Njegova poezija poput zapjenušane rijeke ‘žubori’ iz njegovog srca i preko svijesti preljeva se preko jezika. Ali nije poezija ta koja mu je priskrbila ovaj visoki stupanj, već ga je njegova uzvišena gnostička misao prožeta religioznošću, bolom i posvemašnjom umjetnošću svrstala u red najznamenitijih duhovnih velikana svijeta. Mevlana je vjerovao da čovjek može postati istinskim čovjekom kroz upoznavanje sa islamskom kulturom i njenim praktičnim slijeđenjem te da njegova ličnost dozrijeva putujući od ‘Innā lillāhi’ ka ‘Innā ilejhi rādži’ūn’.

Robert DJIDJIAN - The Secret of Geniality (III)

Author(s): Robert Djidjian / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

The NOEMA Journal continues to publish, in a series, the book THE SECRET OF GENIALITY (Yerevan, Armenia, Noyan Tapan Printing House, 2002) by our colleague Robert Djidjian, not only because we all must know the philosophical research and creation (in our domain of epistemology and philosophy of science and technology) from a wider geographic area than that provided by the established fashion in virtue of both extra-scientific reasons and a yet obsolete manner to communicate and value the research; but also because the book as such is living, challenging and very instructive. The title of the book is suggestive enough to make us to focus on an old age question: the dialectic of the insight, of the discovery, its psychology moving between flashes of intuitions and cognizance stored in memory, and its logic of composition of knowledge from hypotheses to their demonstration and verification. The realm of science is most conducive to the understanding of this dialectic and the constitution of the ideas which are the proofs of what is the most certain for humans: the “world 3”, as Popper called the kingdom of human results of their intellection, and though transient and perishable in both their uniqueness and cosmic fate, the only certain proof of the reason to be of homo sapiens in the frame of multiversal existence. Therefore, creation is the secret of the human geniality, and how to create science is a main part of this secret.

Modern Quranic Hermeneutics: Abdulkarim Soroush on the Expansion of Prophetic Experience

Author(s): Abdullah Rexhepi,İsa Memishi / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

. Since early times, Muslims have speculated on the nature of Revelation and the Divine Speech. This has resulted in Muslim scholars developing divergent approaches to this problem. With the constitution of the orthodoxy, the former school became dominant and it postulated that the Quran is the Word of God dictated to Prophet Muhammad through the angel Jabrail. However, during the last decades in Iran emerged scholars, such as Abdulkarim Soroush, who proposed new approaches to understanding and interpreting Revelation. This paper discusses the hermeneutical project put forward by Soroush by discussing his article on the “Expansion of Prophetic Experience”. In this article, the author argues that his modern hermeneutics is radically different from orthodox theology and problematizes that the idea that the Quran as a human creation brings about other implications outside theology, such as for instance opening the Muslim thought and liberating it from scriptural readings.

Studying creativity in students' learning styles in different high schools Iran

Author(s): Kalantari Masume,Tahan Mohammad / Language(s): English Issue: 10/2018

Learning, creativity, and innovation are considered as the axis of the activities of all educational and entrepreneur-based institutions. Learning style of students as one of the factors effective in learning and academic progress has always been taken into consideration. By identifying the learning style and rate of creativity of individuals, each style can be a more appropriate teaching method adopted by teachers and also a more correct method of learning by learners. Accordingly, the main goal of the present article is to identify the differences of learning styles of individuals in different academic majors and the rate of the creativity of individuals in each learning style. The present methodology employed in this research is of descriptive-correlational research design. The statistical population consists of all the last-year students at the high school level in the city of Ghaen. The statistical sample consisted of 115 girls and 117 boys selected by classified sampling. Kolb’s learning style inventory and Abedi creativity were used to collect the required data. These two tools are standardized, therefore their validity is verified. On the other hand, the reliability of the Kolb’s inventory and that of Abedi’s creativity were 0.74 and 79.5, respectively. To analyze the data obtained by Chi-square tests, one-way analysis of variance, Pierson covariance, and stepwise regression were employed. The results show that there is a meaningful difference between the creativity of the students with diverging and assimilator learning styles. Learning styles of students of different branches are also different. Creativity of the students of Mathematicsis more than that of the Humanities and there is also a meaningful negative relation between concrete experiential learning methods and creativity (r=0.702 and p<0.01).

Ontology of the Digital Culture: World Trends and Chinese Advanced Experience

Author(s): Denys Svyrydenko,Olena Yatsenko / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

The concept of digital culture defines a set of values, practices, and expectations regarding the format of human interaction in today’s online society. Predictions of digital culture describe the specifics of the online environment and the general context of social life. The range of interpretations of digital culture varies between two poles: from the recognition of digital technologies as a way of presenting libraries, museums, historical monuments, etc., to the concepts of digital culture as a new socio-anthropological reality, the content of which is not limited to ICT. Culture as a phenomenon means the semantic unity of human activity, the desire to format social life following ideas and values, the movement from existing to obligatory, from actual to potential, and digital culture is an adequate response to the demands and challenges. People worldwide change their placement of everyday activity, and we could admit such huge transformation in the Chinese People’s Republic exactly obvious

ЛЪВСКОТО ДРУЖЕСТВО В РИМСКОТО ПРАВО

Author(s): Stoyan P. Ivanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The article discusses the origin and meaning of the notion and the term leonine partnership, as well as the problems associated with the distribution of profits and losses between the partners in the consensual contract for partnership in Roman law. The fragment from the Digests of Justinian where actually is the unique mention of the expression societas leonina and this form of partnership is defined by the Romal classical jurist Cassius is subjected to a legal-dogmatic and linguistic analysis. The fable of Phaedrus for the partnership between a lion, a goat, a cow and a patient sheep which is considered to be the original source, used for forming the concept of the leonine partnership in Roman legal thought is completely analysed and interpreted. The author paid special attention to the magna questio (the great discussion) among Roman jurisprudence, dating from the period of the end of the Roman Republic with some projections and in the classical period in connection with the distribution of profits and losses in the consensual contract of partnership as a result of the partnership`s activity. And on the other hand the article examines the problem about the existence of privileges or restrictions for certain partners regarding the profits and analysis of the two leading opinions on the subject through the exegesis of a fragment of the Institutions of Gaius.
