Ontological Concept

The article reveals the ontological essence of technology on the basis of identifying categories that reflect the meaning of technology at various stages of the development of society. Categories: copying, serving, overcoming, production, progress, process, revolution, science, technogenic environment, technosphere, noosphere, alienation force, pollution factor, collective intelligence, technical reality, technotronic civilization, transformation - they consistently reveal the ontology of technology. The significance of the Kappa concept of technology, which defines technology as an extension of a human being, is shown. The influence of the historical context in the formation of categories describing the essence of technology is revealed. Much attention is paid to the inconsistency, multidimensionality of the phenomenon of technology. The article defines the specifics of using the categories of technogenic environment and technosphere. The significance of the natural scientific concept of the noosphere is shown. The analysis of the features of the fifth technological revolution is given, the prospects for the formation of a technotronic society are shown. It has been established that the most important ontological basis of the phenomenon of technology is the anthropological component, which does not remain constant. The question is raised about the possibility of self-sufficiency of technology in the ontological sense, the formation of its independence from a person and the likelihood of such a scenario. The technotronic civilization is just being formed and the prospects for its development are not unambiguous, technology can acquire new, completely unexpected qualities, which requires further research.

At least two important consequences follow from the fact that human rights are based on human nature. First, they exist according to natural law even in cases where positive law does not recognize them. Secondly, they cannot evolve because the nature and purpose of the human being does not change: only their formulation and level of protection in positive law can vary according to the socio-historical context.

AbstractThe paper explores how the ethos in Slovakia has been shaped and “matured” in the context of the values, principles and norms inherent in the European ethos. The presence of this ethos, including its sources and forms, can be considered in the Slovak historical context to be a moral phenomenon and an integral part of human being, encoded in the moral values held by individuals and society. By seeking out its ties and analysing the way it is intertwined with the evolution of the European ethos, it provides us with the space to understand and resolve many of today’s issues and conflicts in an ethical manner. The author considers moral consciousness to be an important part of the culture of civilization today, which faces the challenge of finding new forms of human coexistence and a life in peace. It attests to the importance of ethics and morality in the life of individual and society, and the utility of ethical reflection in solving moral issues in life and in searching for one’s own way through it.

Alan Bewell identifies a newly globalized, consumerist nature in the Romantic period, one aspect of a larger context in which Michel Foucault observed the “dawn of biopolitics.” This historical context, along with Erasmus Darwin's best-selling poem The Loves of the Plants (1789), is brought to bear here on William Blake's Visions of the Daughters of Albion and on traditional readings of it that manifest nostalgia for an idealized past, a past predating enclosure's separation of population and environment, of human being and nature. Correcting the prevalent misidentification of the marigold that Oothoon plucks in Visions, my reading newly envisions an Oothoon whose relation to the life-forms around her replicates the modes of domination and exploitation inherent in capitalist ideology. What have seemed to be anomalies in Oothoon, her curious connections to Bromion and her offer to procure girls for Theotormon, instead reflect central character traits. In the end, a reaccounting of the historicity of Blake's poetic text yields a heroine and a reading population struggling to view themselves as at the center of a reflexive system that governs and exploits the mutual relations of natural and social surroundings but that also is governed and exploited by the same biopolitical apparatus.

The City

Xenophon’s Oeconomicus presents the boldest possible response to the city’s charge that Socrates corrupted the young: the city itself, not Socrates, is guilty of this charge. The city’s teaching about what constitutes a noble human being cannot be reconciled with the good of the human being as such; it actually opposes this good. While the would-be gentleman’s desire to be noble shapes his understanding of household management, it fails to bring him the god-like self sufficiency he seeks. Socrates’ critique of the perfect gentleman’s education of his wife demonstrates why the sacrifices made for the household and the gods do not benefit those who seek to be noble. Over the course of the dialogue, images of the Socratic way of life emerge. By revealing the nature of philosophy and its relationship to the good and noble things which the city extols, this dialogue teaches its readers why the Socratic way of life benefits human beings

Em 1968, José Comblin publicou Théologie de la ville.1 Desde então, o assunto “cidade” tornou-se tema de reflexão teológica. Elaborado a partir da percepção das mudanças em curso nas cidades e, mesmo, a partir da formação de metrópoles latino-americanas, este tema será recorrente em sua vida e em suas obras. Mas, o presente artigo busca demonstrar: 1) que a reflexão de Comblin é, antes de tudo, uma reflexão sobre o ser humano; 2) que a centralidade antropológica é colocada a partir do papel que as estruturas urbanas desempenham na constituição e na integração das dimensões humanas; 3) que, o ser humano perfaz um caminho processual. Para tanto, estruturamos o texto em três partes: 1) Contextualização histórica; 2) Teologia da cidade; 3) Perspectiva humana e pastoral.Abstract: In 1968, Joseph Comblin published Théologie de la ville. Since then, the topic «city» became the subject of theological reflection. Drawn on the perception of the changes underway in the cities and even on the development of Latin American metropolises, this theme will recur in his life and in his works. This article, however, seeks to demonstrate: 1) that Comblin’s reflection is above all a reflection on the human being; 2) that the anthropological centrality is a result of the role that urban structures play in the creation and integration of human dimensions; 3) that the human being’s path is a procedural one. To do so, we structured the text into three parts: 1) Historical context; 2) Theology of the city; 3) Human and pastoral perspective.Keywords: Joseph Comblin. Anthropology. City.

A literatura pode ser entendida como uma expressão poética e lírica das vivências e experiências do escritor. Dentro desse contexto, a escrita se figura como uma possibilidade de autocompreensão e de reflexões diante de questões humanas universais. A literatura desvela o Ser, não só do autor, mas também o Ser humano. Buscamos pensar sobre tal entendimento da literatura na obra de Isak Dinesen: Minha Fazenda na África. Para tanto exploramos e refletimos no presente texto as conexões entre: escritor e obra; leitor e obra; escritor-leitor-obra para assim avançarmos mais especificamente para as ponderações a respeito das conexões entre a escrita de Isak Dinesen e as experiências de Karen Blixen. Pelas vias do tom autobiográfico de Minha Fazenda na África, entrecruzamos a escritora e seu pseudônimo de modo a desvendar as motivações, anseios, devaneios e escapismos que estão envolvidos no ato de criação literária de Karen e que desvelam o sentido ontológico de sua escrita.Palavras-chave: Literatura.

Inside of this context, the writing configures itself as a possibility of self-understanding and reflections in front of questions of universal human beings. Literature reveals the Being, not only of the author, but also the Human being. We seek to think about such understanding of the literature on the work of Isak Dinesen: Out of Africa. In order to do so we explore and reflect in the present text about the connections between: writer and work; reader and work; writer-reader-work thus to advance more specifically for the considerations regarding the connections between the writing of Isak Dinesen and the experiences of Karen Blixen. Through the autobiographical tone of Out of Africa, we intercross the writer and its pseudonym in order to unmask the motivations, desires, dreams and escapisms that are involved in the act of Karen' literary creation which unveil the ontological sense of her writing.Keywords: Literature.

In this paper, I read the narrative developed by mainstream media in the Montoya case in the context of a dominant neoliberal understanding of the worth of persons with disabilities in Canadian society. I argue that the way newspapers framed the story of the Montoya family feeds into the neoliberal script of who counts as a human being, and thus results in a disservice to individuals with disabilities. I also situate the case in a broader historical context as I examine a few court cases, all including dependents, related to the medical admissibility provision. My goal is to demonstrate how the courts have validated the state argument that distinguishes between valuable (read economically profitable) and non-valuable immigrants, further entrenching the neoliberal discourse of who counts and who is disposable in our society. This is a concerning trend that results in the commodification and layering of citizenship and should be resisted.

AbstrakSetiap manusia yang terlahir di dunia memiliki hak untuk berpikir dan mengutarakannya. Namun, kebebasan untuk mengutarakan suatu konsep keilmuan tertentu terkadang mengalami banyak kendala. Hal tersebut dikarenakan setiap kelompok masyarakat memiliki aturan dan kepercayaan yang berbeda. Hal tersebut membuat konsep hasil penemuan suatu ilmuan yang bertentangan dengan apa yang telah mereka yakini menjadi suatu boomerang baginya. Keyakinan Galileo terhadap teori heliosentris Copernicus membuatnya harus menghabiskan sisa hidupnya sebagai tahanan rumah. Kepercayaan terhadap konsep matahari sebagai pusat tata surya, yang tetap teguh terus dipertahankannya berdasarkan hasil pengamatan dan penelitiannya, membuahkan pengakuan oleh gereja setelah kematiannya.Kata kunci: Galileo, heliosentris, pusat tata surya AbstractEvery human being born in the world has the right to think and express it. However, the freedom to express a particular scientific concept sometimes experiences many obstacles. That is because every community group has different rules and beliefs. This makes the concept of the findings of a scientist contrary to what they believe to be a boomerang for him. Galileo's belief in the Copernicus heliocentric theory left him with the rest of his life under house arrest. His belief in the concept of the sun as the center of the solar system, which he continued to maintain on the basis of his observations and research, led to the recognition of the church after his death.Keywords: Galileo, heliocentric, the center of the solar system

The article considers specific features of the book graphic arts of Mykola Storozhenko of the 1958– 1970s, and also investigates and analyzes the stylistic and compositional features of individual works in the context of evolution of his own artist’s style. At the current time, the subject of the book graphic arts of Mykola Storozhenko remains understudied in Ukrainian art, and the problem of the artist’s creativity in the period of the 1958–1970s has not been practically investigated. Mykola Storozhenko’s book graphic arts, like his monumental works, make a significant contribution to Ukrainian art, and therefore require deep and well-grounded study. By using the method of comparative, formalistic and compositional analysis of the works of Mykola Storozhenko’s book graphic arts of the 1958–1970s, the article reveals the approach of the artist to the form and sculpturesque means of visual and graphic arts as the factors of the experimental space. On the example of illustrative series of works of the certain period it is shown that all means of artistic expression are directed by the artist to create a coherent, emotional and metaphoric space. The issues of visual perception, aesthetic influence and artistic self-sufficiency of each individual illustration were put by the master in a number of priorities, at the level of issue of whole book design.The article emphasizes that Mykola Storozhenko directed the search for new technologies and techniques ofwork in traditional and rarely used graphic arts techniques to create an original, expressive in style of publication, with maximum compliance with the content and contemporary art form.The author considered Mykola Storozhenko’s book graphic arts of the 1958–1970s in the broader art historical context of the stylistic landmarks of his age and issues of his own self-identification.As a result of the study, the author of the article proves that all the means of artistic expression, stylistic and compositional features of each of the stages of Mykola Storozhenko’s creativity in the field of book graphic arts of the 1958–1970s are organic components of the process of evolution of the artist’s own style.All materials of this analytical study are quite important in theoretical and practical application directly in the creative process: to improve the curriculum of composition, as well as an auxiliary methodological material for students of creative specialties and student — art experts.

The present work proposes a reflexion about difficulties involved in the distinction between “doing philosophy” and “making history of philosophy”. We support the convenience of this problematic distinction, but in a way that the coexistence of the two perspectives guarantees mutyal enrichment. In particular, we insist that the second perspective promotes an attitude that is more open to understanding the distinct ways in which the human being has tried to acces to the truth, and that avoids the self-sufficiency in which the first risks falling.
