Axiological Value Research Articles

Между имперским и постимперским дискурсом: идеи империи и революции в оптике исследователей XXI века (Рец. на: Идея империи и идея революции в русской философии и культуре XIX–XX веков: коллективная монография / отв. ред. И.И. Евлампиев. СПб.: Изд-во РХГА, 2023. 420 с.)

The paper analyses the collective monograph: “The Idea of Empire and the Idea of Revolution in Russian Philosophy and Culture of the XIX–XX Centuries”, its content being a reflection on one of the most intellectually acute and complex contradictions of Russian history – the problem of empire and revolution. This problem invariably awakens philosophical thought, forcing it to search for an explanation of the notorious “pendulum of Russian history”, the genesis of power, the vector and track of Russian history, which are intellectual outgrowths of the fundamental problem – the problem of Russian civilizational and state identity. The content of the work is an analysis of empire and revolution – the main concepts that are in the focus of philosophical interest and reflection in Russian culture of the XIX–XX centuries. Its aim is to demonstrate the theoretical demand to continue the analysis and philosophical reflection of the concepts of empire and revolution, with the task of rethinking and reinterpreting them. The thesis is presented about the inexhaustibly traditional historical-philosophical narrative (liberalism-conservatism) and the discursively traditional nature of the range of topics, problems and questions, centred on the concepts of “empire” and “revolution”, with the same inexhaustibly traditional duality of interpretation (“us–them”, “East–West”). The result of the analysis of the sections that make up the content of the monograph is the conclusion about the epistemological and axiological value of the concepts of empire and revolution, and the heuristic productivity of the works related to their analysis in the context of the challenges faced by the Russian society and state. The latter can be used as analytical tools for works that develop and deepen the problems of empire and revolution on a modern historiographical basis. The historiographical basis of the article is the works of well-known Russian and foreign authors specializing in this field of humanities, and the methodological basis is hermeneutic analysis with the involvement of the discourse of cultural studies, political science and history.

المعالم المنهجية في دراسة القضايا القرآنية عند الفاروقي والعطاس

Ismail Raji al-Faruqi and Sayyid Muhammad Naquib al-Attas were the founders of the Islamization of Knowledge movement. As Muslim philosophers, both have their own methods in formulating thoughts that originate from the Qur’an and Sunnah. So this research tries to reveal the method of Ismail Raji al-Faruqi and Sayyid Muhammad Naquib al-Attas in revealing the meanings contained in the verses of the Qur'an. This research uses a descriptive analysis method to compare the interpretation methods used by al-Faruqi and al-Attas. Among the conclusions of this research is that al-Faruqi uses an axiological approach in interpreting the Qur'an, where the verses of the Qur'an have a multi-level axiological value. Whereas al-Attas uses a semantic approach in interpreting the verses of the Qur'an and refers to elements of bil ma'tsur such as the Hadith of the Prophet SAW.

»Denn Ich ist ein Anderer«

Rimbaud’s formulation in his Lettre du voyant to Paul Demeny, »Car Je est un autre,« which has become famous in German as »Denn Ich ist ein Anderer« [For I is an Other/For I is someone else] (Rimbaud 1997, 20–21) can, in its formulaic nature, be read as a motto for various practices which effect a dissociation between the addressee and the author of lyric texts. In this text, these dissociation processes are referred to as practices of dereferentialization. The first thesis of this article is that an ambiguization of the addressee reference – not only by means of epitextual authorial poetological statements according to the abovementioned reasoning, but indeed from within the texts themselves – can manifest itself as a strategy in poetry production which leads to a poem becoming ambiguous, that is, allowing for more possible interpretations and as a consequence acquiring a positive quality. That dereferentialization has also proved to be a strategy of literary reception (and more specifically within the practice of interpretation) whose goal is to secure a property that is considered constitutive of poetry forms the second thesis presented here. Both theses are based on the assumption that ambiguity is an axiological value within the social practice of ›lyric poetry‹. The article concludes with a discussion of whether the reception-side dereferentialization is sometimes performed too uncritically, with a view towards Till Lindemann’s Undank und Wenn du schläfst.

Répétition, analogie et variation lexicale comme sources des binômes phraséologiques en anglais

This corpus linguistics study analyses a subset of phraseological binomials in English made up parasynonyms to reveal their origins, structures, meanings and axiological values. Based on a journalistic corpus, the study targets combinations presenting phonetic, semantic and phonetic-cum-semantic repetition phenomena falling within the [Aing and Bing] pattern, such as naming and shaming, booing and jeering or moaning and groaning. Two hypotheses are put forward: on the one hand, that this phraseological pattern has a negative axiological value which is the result of the link between form and sense, and, on the other hand, that certain binomials established by usage give rise to the creation of new combinations by analogy with lexical variants, which accounts for the productivity of this pattern. The use of three corpora of different dates and volumes allows us to corroborate these two hypotheses and to show their vitality and frequency of use in journalistic discourse.

Can AI do Spiritual Research? A Zen Buddhist Perspective

This article invigorates the ongoing conversation in the MSR field on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in global consciousness and spiritual research. The author defines spiritual research in terms of basic philosophical and methodological characteristics. She then highlights specific features of Zen-informed spiritual research to illustrate what global consciousness means in Zen Buddhist ontology and why spiritual research is the type of research needed for achieving global consciousness. She suggests that AI cannot replace human agency in doing spiritual research, although AI tools may be used to augment the modeling and communication of spiritual research findings. Moreover, uncurbed application of AI tools in social sciences may perpetuate the dehumanizing tendency of functionalist research. Lastly (in an appendix), she provides a first-person narrative to demonstrate autoethnographic spiritual writing that accentuates the epistemological significance of mystical experiences, dreams and intuition, and the axiological value of human suffering and emotions as gateways to spiritual transformation.

Human Labor and its Irregular Nature as a Social and Axiological Value

The intention of the authors of this publication was to present reflections on human labor as a social and axiological value, as well as to show various aspects resulting from its irregular nature. The above reflections show that this type of working time may be a kind of incentive for the employee and a factor motivating him to increase his effort and improve efficiency. In addition to the above-mentioned issues, the authors presented selected theoreticians' perspectives related to human work in various historical and cultural periods. Moreover, the presented analyzes show that a person's labor may constitute a distinctive social and psychological value. The authors’ intention was also to draw the reader's attention to proper time management and methods of effective time management. Learning about these methods and implementing them in the employee environment will allow for more effective functioning and rational working time management as well as any other type of time. Finally, the so-called circle of time management rules, consisting of six elements, was presented.

Когнитивные механизмы цветообозначений в рекламном туристическом нарративе (на примере озера Байкал)

The aim of the study is to determine the cognitive mechanisms of colour terms in the advertising tourist narrative. The scientific novelty of the work is accounted for by the problem statement: it is the first time that colour terms have been considered taking into account the mechanisms of their cognitive organisation in the advertising tourist narrative using Lake Baikal as an example. The paper analyses the views of researchers describing colour terms in the Russian linguistic worldview, the advertising discourse, cognitive linguistics, historical and comparative linguistics. The study emphasises that colour as a culture code is a significant cognitive category and colour terms possess associativity and axiological value, are connected to the history of the nation, its peculiarities in relation to ethnic norms, traditions, customs and rituals. As a result of the study, it has been found that the main cognitive mechanisms of colour terms in the advertising tourist narrative include foregrounding as the informational-pragmatic core in the structure of the textual whole; metaphor as a source of figurative naming; standard comparative constructions and realised comparisons. The analysis of the material attests to the fulfillment of the potential of lexical units with secondary colour naming in such main conceptual-thematic areas as “Animate nature” and “Inanimate nature”.

Role of Axiological Values in Branding, product packaging and design

Abstract
 This paper intends to determine the role of axiological values, particularly moral and aesthetic values in product branding, packaging and design. The term ‘design’ here should not be confused with the designing of the print content of the packaging, here, design stands for the aesthetic attributes of the product, its color, texture, shape and overall feel that adds axiological value. The paper will explore the realms of product branding, packaging and design, keeping in context the axiologic aspects that are unintentionally or intentionally being followed by the organizations during these processes.

SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE THROUGH AXIOLOGY PERSPECTIVE

ABSTRACTThe research aims to discuss the axiological values and sources of knowledge for humans. This research uses the Semut Sumut non-formal education organization as a case study. This article employs a qualitative interpretive approach by conducting library research, specifically by looking at reading materials related to the studies presented and using document analyses of earlier research findings associated with the philosophy of science. Books rading, scientific journals on Google Scholar, and digital libraries were combed through to acquire the data. Results of this study show that axiological values as a source of knowledge can be reflected in social movements by providing non-formal education platforms for children who have dropped out of school or even have no opportunity at all to go to school. The axiological value of social movements contains elements of being functional, robust, valid or strong which means the quality of something that makes it liked, appreciated and appreciated by other parties. In addition, two supporting elements in non-formal learning materials further strengthen the axiological perspective as a source of knowledge, namely ethics and aesthetics. Keywords: Axiology, Knowledge, Semut Sumut.

Exploring Chinese Cultural Identity in the Liang Zhu Violin Concerto: An Intercultural Perspective on the Adaptation of Traditional Elements in Western Classical Music Language

"This article examines the phenomenon of interculturality through the lens of the Liang Zhu Concerto for Violin and Orchestra by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang. Interculturality is no longer merely a means of elevating the axiological value of a given context but has become a necessity for authenticating contemporary discourse. The role of interculturality in shaping the expression of creative intentions is amplified, as it attenuates divergences determined by the incongruity of individuals’ backgrounds by comprehensively observing the uniqueness of foreign elements from a familiarity-based perspective. The Liang Zhu Violin Concerto exemplifies the adaptation of East Asian culture to the context of the Western language and means of expression while preserving its Chinese cultural identity. This concerto has significant value and desirability for consumption due to the proportion of originality and familiarity which it upholds and determines its overall appeal. Ultimately, this article aims to explore how the Liang Zhu Violin Concerto achieves originality at a global level while preserving its Chinese cultural identity. Keywords: Interculturality, Liang Zhu, Identity, Imitation."

Concept of global peace: military, terrorist and informational threats

The article deals with the analysis of transformational processes of the doctrinal and praxeological interpretation of the concept of global peace in the context of overcoming modern military, terrorist and informational threats. The tasks solved in the article are: the essence of understanding of the modern concept of global peace is revealed; the effectiveness of the mechanism of international institutions in providing counteraction to the military threat is analyzed; terrorism as an opposition to peace and stability is studied; the nature of the challenges to the information and educational environment as a significant factor in ensuring global peace is revealed. The humanistic approach is distinguished as one that has a special axiological value for research, with a methodological triad of methods used being philosophical, general scientific, and special scientific methods. The elements of the concept of the global world order are the functioning of international and national subjects to ensure peace and development of civil society, including the education of the global world order, tolerance, democratic values of constitutionalism and the rule of law, and other primary legal axiological values. The originality of the research lies in the comprehensive analysis of globalization threats to the concept of peace and security of the international society in the military, anti-terrorist and information spheres with the demonstration of empirical material from the Russian-Ukrainian war in 2022.

Study of the Axiological Foundations of Russian Statehood: Prospects for the Application of Politico-Textological Analysis

The study of the historical and axiological foundations of Russian statehood is directly related to problems of national and civic identity and addresses the task of ensuring and protecting political sovereignty and national independence. Based on the analysis of a large corpus of works by Russian thinkers, writers, poets, religious and state figures of the 19th century, the content of such basic values as “freedom”, “truth” and “justice” was reconstructed, which maintained their significance throughout the history of Russia, but were substantively transformed in the public ideological-political discourse. The research was conducted based on the database of the National Corpus of the Russian Language (NCRL). In total, work was done with more than 7500 documents created during the period from 1801 to 1900. The main research methods, in addition to the general scientific methodology, were content analysis and politico-textological analysis. The concept of “freedom” was significant throughout almost the entire history of Russia, and in the 19th century, various aspects of it were addressed not only by thinkers and public figures of different ideological orientations, but also by publicists, poets, and writers. Interestingly, the legal and rational understanding of freedom was almost always combined with a moral and even religious content in the works of the authors of this period. The concept of “truth”, despite being used in its substantive sense much less frequently in the 19th century than in previous centuries, still retains its important axiological value in the Russian intellectual tradition and represents a complex moral-social ideological complex. “Truth” as a socialpolitical concept combines both the values and meanings of the Orthodox righteous way of life of each individual and the principles and goals of a truly just social and state system. The concept of “justice” is a cornerstone of the Russian vision of an ideal social and state structure, along with truth and freedom. The specificity of the domestic ideological-political discourse of the 19th century is that the concept of justice is inseparably linked with both the individual and society and the state, receiving moral justification for the necessity of following this principle first and foremost in the name of the common good, and then, as a consequence, in the name of one’s own well-being.

Роль релігійних організацій у сучасних суспільно-правових відносинах

The article is devoted to the analysis of the role of religious organizations in modern society in the context of information and globalization changes of modern times and their impact on social and legal reality. It is proved that the role of religious organizations is transformed in the era of globalized society and information and technological progress. Scientific doctrine does not contain the unity of such variations. The first group of scientists points out that the role of religious norms in modern legal regulation increasingly gives preference to the newest approaches and law plays a dominant role here. The second group has the opposite opinion - religion as a primordial human axiological value has answers to all life situations, including the latest global-technical transformations. It has been established that updated approaches are needed for legal science as well, since it cannot bypass the problems of globalization changes that exist in legal and state phenomena. It is characteristic that now world development does not have a clear vector, science must establish the optimal possible direction and warn against negative factors caused by globalization. The role of state administration and public activism in the context of religious freedom have a special intertwining and are manifested in the activities of religious organizations. The following changes in the essence of the role of religious organizations in modern legal reality are motivated: taking into account the diversity of religious views of social groups; reducing the role of religious ideology and religious leadership opinions as a factor in forming the political position of a member of a religious organization; the spread of religious extremism, which is mostly caused by migration factors. At the same time, it is necessary to continue to identify, evaluate and forecast risks, external and internal influences in order to protect this harmonious relationship through progressive legal provisions.

The Normative Value of Making a Positive Contribution–Benefiting Others as a Core Dimension of Meaningful Work

Most normative accounts of meaningful work have focused on the value of autonomy and capability for self-development. Here, I will propose that contribution–having a positive impact on others through one’s work–is another central dimension of meaningful work. Being able to contribute through one’s work should be recognized as one of the key axiological values that work can serve, providing one independent justification for why work is valuable and worth doing. Conversely, I argue that having to do work that has no positive impact, or where one is separated from such impact, is an underrecognized type of alienation. Such alienation as pointlessness can be as harmful as the more recognized types of alienation such as powerlessness. Recognizing contribution as a core dimension of meaningful work is compatible with both subjectivist and objectivist accounts of meaningfulness, but I come to support a mixed view where the subjective sense of contributing must be sufficiently warranted by the facts of the situation. Recognizing the inescapable interest humans have for being able to contribute and engage in work that is not pointless has implications for the duties societies, organizations, and individuals have as regards ensuring that work conducted includes a recognizable positive impact. Along with autonomy and self-development, contribution should thus be seen as an independent axiological value that work can serve, its frustration being associated with a specific type of alienation, and it itself playing a key role in what makes work valuable and meaningful.

Қазақ мәдениетіндегі шешендік сөз өнері

The article is the first attempt in the local cultural studies to carry out a detailed study of the place and role of oratory in Kazakh culture. At the same time, the article considers the basics, cognitive episteme, methodological positions of the Kazakh eloquence as a continuum of general ethnocultural existence, anthropocentric, sociocentric, ethnocentric aspects of the art of eloquence, cultural and sophistic background of the nature and features of mobile thought in the context of eloquent verbal wisdom as a phenomenon-culture. At the same time, the study focuses on the cultural aspects of the cognitive-emotional impact of oratory on the perceiver. Along with this, the depth of presentation of thoughts to the audience in eloquent language and its axiological value are measured. Cultural and axiological meanings such as «beginning, presentation, content, warming up, fusion/synthesis» within the framework of various rhetorical formulas are analyzed. Steps have been taken to reveal the cultural aspects of such concepts as «wrap/envelope,» «persuade,» and «confess» through the listener’s ability to convey a thought in rhetoric to other people through the poetic language. The problem of inseparability between eloquence and objective reality is analyzed through the prism of the Kazakh national-cultural moral ethos.

Lexico-Semantic Field «Teaching» in the Compositional Structure
 of A.S. Griboyedov’s Comedy «Woe from Wit»

The article deals with elements comprising the thematic composition of the comedy «Woe from Wit» by A.S. Griboyedov.
 The compositional structure of the comedy «Woe from Wit» is extremely complex. The movement of the action in the play is due to the combination of compositional techniques. These techniques are closely linked to the thematic
 content of the work. There are more than twenty-five lexical and semantic fields and lexical nests in the work, among which are: «service», «ranks», «teaching», «reading», «books», «people / person», «laughter», «burst of laughter», «fun», «joke», «rel-
 atives», «grief», «happiness», «stupidity», «lies», «feelings», «society», «education», «heart», «word», etc. These compositional-thematic formations concentrate almost the entire range of comedy problems, provide the movement of action,
 forming the periphery of the main phraseosemantic field «mind / madness». Our observations and calculations demonstrate that Chatsky is not the leading character in the development of these lexical nest themes, although their development is traditionally associated with the image of the main character of
 the play. Chatsky’s look is fresh, far from stagnation, but his voice drowns in the general chorus of voices, they do not hear him and do not want to hear him. Chatsky does not lead topics, he follows Famusov, the main carrier of the topics. The unified line in the development of the themes of the lexical-semantic
 field «teaching» and the lexical nests «books» and «reading» is complicated by semantic contradictions between the structural units of each formation, as well as two-fold thematic repetitions (in the lexical nest «learning»).
 The mind in A.S. Griboyedov’s comedy is presented as an axiological value, it is the undoubted dominant of the work. The lexico-semantic field «teaching» and the lexical nests «books» and «reading» represent the nearest periphery
 of the phraseosemantic field «mind / madness»

Zhihar Contextualization in Indonesia: an Anthropo-Linguistic Study

The law of zhihar (equating wife to her mother) is closely related to Arabic culture, where the Qur'an was revealed. In Indonesia, zhihar law cannot be enforced because of social norms differences. This article examines the contextualization of zhihar in Indonesia. The aim is to examine the meaning of zhihar in the Qur’an which is then applied in the context of Indonesian culture. Specifically, the contextualization includes the use of language in the zhihar which is then linked to the existing cultural context. This research is purely a literature study using qualitative methods. The approach used is the sociology of language, or more specifically it can be called the anthropo-linguistic approach. The results of the study show that respect is deeply embedded in family life in Indonesia. This means that the husband may equate his wife with his mother-in-law; But not forbid himself against his wife, only to praise and respect her. From the perspective of the sociology of language, this compliment is a reflection of cultural values that have long lived in Indonesian society. The mufassirs (the commentators of al-Qur'an) stated that this action is not zhihar because the lafadz zhihar requires the intention to forbid husband and wife relations. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth study dealing with the axiological value of the law of zhihar in the Qur'an which is linked to socio-cultural aspects.

Aksiologi Manusia dalam Perkembangan Pendidikan Islam (Perspektif KH. Ahmad Dahlan)

This study aims to analyze the axiological value of humans from the point of view of K.H. Ahmad Dahlan, who is a great figure in Islam and education in Indonesia. The research data were analyzed qualitatively. The data sources are articles on axiological values in philosophy and documents containing the thoughts of K.H. Ahmad Dahlan on humans and the development of Islamic education. The results of the analysis show that Dahlan's thoughts are in line with prophetic ethics which is part of axiology in the philosophy of Islam. The prophetic value consists of seven categories taken from the revelation of Allah SWT. These seven prophetic values include the value of worship, the value of sincerity, the value of the future, the value of mercy, the value of trust, the value of da'wah, and the value of tabsyir.

Critical Analysis of the Influence on Power and Coordination of the Concepts of Religion and Discourse

The article analyzes the critical discourse analysis as one of the paradigms in the discursive study of religion. Critical discourse analysis examines discursive and critical views on religion together, and is able to show the features and priorities of these areas, which are not among the main trends in modern science. The issue of discourse analysis is raised and discussed in the context of logic, semiotics, philosophy of language, analysis of relations, consensus, the legitimacy of ethical and moral values. The article represents and describes the importance of discourse in the understanding of religion as a concept and accepting the role of religion in everyday social relations through the critical discourse analysis and the discursive study of religion. It also provides guidelines for the analysis of discursive structures and analyzes the processes of revival and change in the field of religion. The concept of discourse is considered separately and its different meanings are shown. It analyzes how the process of critical analysis is carried out in the context of discursive research, and analyzes the main directions of practical critical discourse analysis. The problem of analysis of a discursive event arises in the context of non-linguistic conditions of occurrence of discourse (economic, political, etc.). It has been established that the meaning of discourse since the foundation of discursive analysis includes not only written or oral expression, but also non-linguistic semiotic processes. It has been shown that for each discursive sphere, epistemic beings differ both in terms of axiological value and in terms of subjective regulation. Keywords: religion, power, discourse analysis, coordination, religious discourse.
