  • E G Rogova

The purpose of this article is determination and revelation of philosophical and educational axiostrategies of actualization of searching the special place of sense-vital values in the process of axio-sphere forming by growing the personality as a representative of the modern technocratic society which takes place in the process of his education. Methodology. In the study of the philosophic and educational constructs of actualization of the searching the sense-vital values the methods of the systematically, socio-cultural and comparative analysis were used, that allowed to define the axiostrategies of subsequent development of meaning and formative education. Scientific novelty of work consists in the philosophical constructs of development by the meaning-formative education in the conditions of the world values-view pluralism which are considered in the determining context of definition of «axiostrategу» notion and also the deep connections and synthesizing values of «the generalizing high level». They are general for most wide-spread (atheistic and religious) varieties of the existential education in the sense-vital aspect. Conclusions. The axiostrategies of searching of the life sense are formulated and exposed as an independent global personality construction which has powerful motivational nature and not only shows the certain level of philosophical culture, but also the internal change of personality brings it on the new degree of life, which is identical in its sense and ultimate aim with the adoption of own human existence. That is instrument in self-actualization, self-realization of personality in accordance with the individual possibilities, interests, aspirations, and also providing the firmness of personality in Postmodern terms and that is the urgent task of modern education, because the actualization of sense-vital problems is one of the main mission of comprehensive school.

Beyond “Second Animals”: Making Sense of Plant Ethics
  • Feb 3, 2013
  • Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics
  • Sylvie Pouteau

Concern for what we do to plants is pivotal for the field of environmental ethics but has scarcely been voiced. This paper examines how plant ethics first emerged from the development of plant science and yet also hit theoretical barriers in that domain. It elaborates on a case study prompted by a legal article on “the dignity of creatures” in the Swiss Constitution. Interestingly, the issue of plant dignity was interpreted as a personification or rather an “animalization of plants.” This sense of irony makes sense when one realizes that on scientific grounds the plant is a “second animal,” i.e., it differs from the animal in degree of life or some ethically-relevant criterion but not in nature. From the point of view of ethics however, plants should be defended for what they are by nature and not by comparison to external references: the ethical standing of plants cannot be indexed to animals. It is thus reckoned that to circumvent this odd fetishism, the plant ethics can only be adequately addressed by changing the theory of plant science. Common sense tells us this: plants and animals belong to radically different fields of perception and experience, a difference that is commonly captured by the notion of kingdom. In this paper we remind the ethical conversation that plants are actually incommensurable with animals because they are unsplit beings (having neither inside nor outside), i.e., they live as “non-topos” in an undivided, unlimited, non-centered state of being. It is concluded that the unique ontology of plants can only be addressed through a major change from object-thinking to process-thinking and a move from ego-centric to “peri-ego” ethics.

REAL LIFE

In Conway’s Game of Life every cell is either fully alive (has the value of 1) or completely dead (has the value 0). In Real Life this restriction to bivalence is lifted to countenance “real-valued” degrees of life and death. Real Life contains Conway’s Game of Life as a special case; however, Real Life, in contrast to Conway’s Game of Life, exhibits sensitive dependence on initial conditions which is characteristic of chaotic systems.

The Transition Between Life and Death Exploring the Continuum
  • Sep 12, 2007
  • NeuroQuantology
  • Jeremy Horne

Where is the boundary between human life and death? Is there even such a boundary? Suggesting the existence of “boundary” raises the ageless problems of the continuum and discrete: Zeno’s paradox, the modern calculus, Heisenberg-type problems, and, indeed, quantum mechanics and cosmology. “Alive” and “dead” may just be visible signs of a deeper process of universal motion permeating every aspect of our universe. In this discussion, it is essential to identify parameters for ascertaining boundaries of “life” and “consciousness”, as well. Both have many definitions. I present three approaches to exploring how we might discover a boundary, if such exists: biological entities being progressively replaced by artificial ones, cell apoptosis (cell death), and extreme reductionism to the smallest scale known to us – Planck area. In each is considered the nature and type of homeostasis. While we can vary the environment to observe how those conditions for each are changed, there appears to us a “crossover” point when a self-sustaining or even an adaptive entity no longer may maintain its integrity as human. Thus, we might approach the transition of organically based homeostatic entities to non-hydrocarbon-based ones in terms of finite state machines, and adaptive automatons, while keeping in mind the conditions we discussed above for consciousness and life. However, in each case, there are collections of conditions that could be the minimal basis of what may be regarded as degrees of life or consciousness, and the clue resides in the third method and one that really is not new, at least to ancient philosophers.

The Immortals in Our Midst: Why Democracies in Africa Need Them
  • Nov 25, 2015
  • The Journal of Ethics
  • Ajume H Wingo

Africa lacks the particular history of liberal institutions and values that has served as the foundation for democratic institutions in the West. Without such a foundation, prospects for well-functioning democracy in African are not good. I argue that a possible alternative basis for African democracy may be found in “civic immortals,” extraordinary individuals capable of introducing dramatic shifts in political values. Civic immortals occupy the highest rung of a hierarchy of personhood in many indigenous African cultures, each of which is considered to share in a different degree of life after physical death, and each of which corresponds to a different class of citizen. I examine three examples of African civic immortals: Nelson Mandela, Sunjata Keita (founder of the Malian empire and author of the Oath of the Hunters), and Ngonnso (the founder of the Nso dynasty). These extraordinary individuals shared an ambition to achieve lasting political change, and succeeded in transforming their political systems. Understanding the critical role that these civic immortals play in creating political change—both by directly changing political institutions and by inspiring ordinary citizens—offers us another tool for establishing stable and effective democratic institutions. It also highlights the ironically impersonal nature of contemporary liberal theory, and suggests a way that individual personalities and diversity among citizens may have a role in understanding political theory and practice.

To implement agrarian law which was healthy and fair for all people in Indonesia, and also for agriculturedevelopment to improve people welfare, especially farmers who had narrow land or even those who did nothave land, needed to do agrarian reform. The concept was through land reform program. The success oflandreform program implementation depended much on the economic and political system of the governmentholding the power at that time, and on the commitment of the government to do it continuously. Thus, thepolicies issued would support the implementation of land reform program. The purpose of land reform wastoincrease the degree of life and the nation welfare.

Where Was Everyone? The Fatal Siloing of Abortion Advocacy

Where Was Everyone? The Fatal Siloing of Abortion Advocacy Meaghan Winter (bio) Click for larger view View full resolution On December 13, 2021, activists with ShutDownDC held a candlelight vigil to draw attention to the Supreme Court's attack on abortion rights and mark the fiftieth anniversary of Roe v. Wade. (Alex Wong/Getty Images) [End Page 100] I briefly dated a man who told me that he thought abortion should be legal but “didn’t think it should be used as birth control” and later, with no sense of irony, argued with me and then became so angry that I was frightened when I insisted that we use a condom. I bring this up for a couple of reasons. First, public writing about abortion is usually either personal and confessional or, more often, legalistic, political, and abstracted from what abortion is really about—people’s bodies, the most private aspects of their lives, and the bargains, dilemmas, and battles, small and large, that cisgender women face as a matter of course. Second, abortion is usually framed as a women’s issue, and it does, of course, foremost affect women. But straight men of my generation have also built their lives—lives often defined by enormous freedoms—on access to contraception and abortion. Those of us who came of age after Roe v. Wade have rarely had to reflect on how legal abortion has shaped our most basic assumptions about our lives. If you’ve grown up in a country with legal abortion, and particularly if you’re a straight man, I ask that you pause and imagine what your private life would have been like if had you faced the real possibility of creating a pregnancy that couldn’t be terminated every time you had sex. Consider everything that makes up your life—degrees or jobs, yes, but also your friendships, marriages, turns in the road, children born because they were wanted, whatever you value—and appreciate how much of it was made possible by living in a society where abortion was legal and often presumed accessible. The right to have an abortion is in peril. This spring, the Supreme Court will hand down its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, the most pivotal abortion case in fifty years. Under consideration is Mississippi’s ban on abortions after fifteen weeks, which the state legislature passed in 2018. According to the central holding of Roe, all pre-viability bans are unconstitutional, which includes a fifteen-week ban. The only remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi, Jackson Women’s Health, sued the state, asking courts to block the law. A district court and then the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit [End Page 101] (which is infamously conservative) sided with the clinic. The state appealed, and the Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments. Dobbs should be an open-and-shut case, and before 2020 it would have been. The only way for the Court to allow Mississippi its fifteen-week ban is to defy decades of precedent and gut the core of Roe. The mere fact that the Supreme Court decided to hear Dobbs is an ominous sign. Usually, the Court will take up a case when the lower federal courts disagree over whether a law is constitutional. In this case, the federal courts agree; they have consistently squashed total pre-viability bans because fifty years of precedent clearly prohibits them. For decades, the Court hasn’t bothered to take up abortion cases that obviously defy Roe. What has changed is the political makeup of the Court, particularly following Trump’s appointment of Amy Coney Barrett. Her nomination, like those of Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh before her, was not an accident of history. The Trump administration was able to remake the judiciary for at least a generation, installing an unprecedented number of federal judges and three Supreme Court justices, because leaders of the conservative movement have spent forty years and millions of dollars to incubate a legal establishment that would shrink the power of the federal government, give more leeway to states and corporations, and prioritize conservative social views and textual interpretations of the Constitution. One powerful group, the...

  • Lorena Adão Vescovi Séllos Costa + 6 more

Os objetivos do presente estudo são obter valores médios de radiodensidade do parênquima hepático de cães normais e descrever a adaptação na espécie canina de uma técnica de mensuração da densidade tomográfica já utilizada em humanos. Para a realização do estudo, foram adquiridos exames tomográficos do fígado de oito cães hígidos adultos jovens, sem distinção de sexo ou raça. Após a realização do exame, foram obtidos valores médios de radiodensidade de três regiões de interesse (ROIs) do parênquima hepático em três diferentes níveis de corte. Além disso, foi realizada a análise de uma região de interesse do parênquima esplênico em três diferentes níveis de corte para uma avaliação comparativa entre os órgãos. Observou-se, no grupo avaliado, um valor médio de atenuação HU de 59,58±3,34 unidades Hounsfield (HU). A diferença de densidade entre o parênquima hepático e o esplênico foi, em média, de 4,69±7,77HU. No presente estudo, o exame de tomografia computadorizada demonstrou ser uma técnica com alta sensibilidade para estimar a radiodensidade do parênquima hepático. O estabelecimento de valores de normalidade e a padronização de uma metodologia de avaliação permitem melhor caracterização de alterações na radiodensidade pelo exame tomográfico, auxiliando no estabelecimento de um diagnóstico e minimizando a necessidade de exames invasivos.
