Love and recognition: towards on the question of the influence of erotosophy by Vl. Solovyov on the anthropology of A. Kozhev

The creativity of Vladimir Solovyov, more specifically his work “The Meaning of Love”, is considered as one of the origins of Alexander Kozhev’s philosophical anthropology. Attention is drawn to the fact that Kozhev addressed this Solovyov text not only in his dissertation “The Religious Philosophy of Vladimir Solovyov” (1926), but also in his article “The Religious Metaphysics of Vladimir Solovyov” (1934‒1935), that is, at the time of his lecture course, later called “Introduction to the Reading of Hegel”. The general characterization of Solovyov’s philosophy of love and its comparison with Kozhev’s doctrine of man and concept of history are given. As a result of comparative analysis of both philosopher’s views, four conceptual moments present in both Solovyov’s erotosophy and Kozhev’s philosophical anthropology are revealed. Attention is drawn to the fact that Solovyov’s “love” and Kozhev’s “desire for recognition” are related by the fact that they are both removed from the material, natural order. It is noted that both of these concepts can function only in the presence of the figure of the other, whose absolute individuality they produce. It is emphasized that both “desire for recognition” and “love” presuppose reciprocity and universality (“universal recognition” / “sisygic unity”). It is fixed that their full realization is possible only after the end of the historical process. At the same time, it is argued that it is impossible to identify Kozhev’s “desire for recognition” and Solovyov’s “love”, since in Kozhev’s texts, in addition to passages bringing love closer to recognition, there is also a consistent philosophical critique of love (its lack of “Action”, risk, struggle, universality). In conclusion, we identify four main differences between Kozhev’s anthropology and Solovyov’s erotosophy (individualism, antagonism, atheism, sexual indifference) and hypothesize that Kozhev combines both Hegelian and Solovievian components in the “desire for recognition”, which is why he brings this notion closer to love and then draws strict distinctions.

“Some Do it Out of Necessity, Others Because They Like Money and Others Because They Find it Easy”: Motivations for the Involvement of Women in Drug Trafficking in Peru

ABSTRACT Latin American feminist scholars have constructed valuable analyses on how structural inequalities, feminization of poverty, and patriarchy are the main reasons women get involved in drug trafficking. As the primary material and emotional providers of their families, and to fulfill their gendered responsibilities as reproducers of care, it has been shown that women participate in illegal activities mainly out of economic “necessity.” Nonetheless, this approach may create a homogeneous and passive imaginary of women involved in drug trafficking that is linked to Marianista femininity. The paper contributes to Southern Criminology in the task of constructing localized knowledge from the South. It aims to acknowledge women’s diversity to pursue a more nuanced perspective of women’s motivations and start to contextualize and analyze the concept of “necessity.” The paper analyses 22 interviews of women sentenced for drug trafficking in Peru and proposes six motivations for their involvement: (1) Strengthening autonomy and independence, (2) Pursuit of material-hedonistic fulfillment, (3) Desire for recognition and power, (4) Trust-based involvement, (5) Involvement driven by addiction, and (6) Involvement as unwitting participants due to deception. It concludes that the notion of necessity is influenced by class and territory, shaping women’s motivations and involvement in drug trafficking. Additionally, their motivations are not solely driven by economic needs but also by psychological and affective ones.

Empowering the disadvantaged: a perspective on Saudi Arabia’s low-skilled female workers

ABSTRACT For a Saudi woman living in times of rapid socioeconomic transformation, working in a low-paid job may feel both obligatory and shameful. This paper argues that Saudi women – torn between traditionalism and modernity – are deeply impacted, though in ambivalent ways, by the recent empowerment discourse. It examines how the corporate world adopts the empowerment narrative to promote progress, modernity, and openness at the expense of women’s needs, preferences, and values. Through interviews with a diverse cohort of 20 employed women aged 20–45 years, this study seeks to unravel the motivations that drive women to pursue work in a patriarchal society where the conventional role of men entails assuming financial responsibility for women. Through an exploration of the motivations underlying women’s decisions to work – a few of which are the desire for recognition, financial independence, and self-worth – this paper investigates issues of visibility, space, and social responsibility. These key issues emphasize the struggles encountered by working women in attaining empowerment, autonomy, and self-worth despite their participation in the labour market and their financial independence. By examining low-skilled sectors in which women struggle with challenging working conditions, this paper aims to give voice to disadvantaged women who, in the empowerment plans, are left unheard and their future obscured.

‘Hunger for certainty’: misrecognition, masculinity and agentic action in India’s and Russia’s desires for neocolonial subjecthood

This article takes as its point of departure the postcolonial understanding of the nation as a subject constructed through the colonial encounter. It argues that at the core of both colonial and postcolonial subject formations lies a desire for reconstructing a homogeneous nation that fulfils a ‘hunger for certainty’. The use of the term ‘hunger for certainty’ testifies to the emotional as well as corporeal desires involved in the quest for recognition. However, any such quest is always a process of misrecognition, involving fantasies of impossible wholeness and fulfilment. Proceeding from a Lacanian account of sublimation, lack and desire, we analyse the relationship between misrecognition, ontological insecurity, masculinity and agentic action in two neocolonial settings: Russia and India. By discursively deconstructing the official discourse of those speaking in the name of the state – in our case, Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi – we show how this ‘hunger for certainty’ is at the core of neocolonial agentic action and how desires for recognition are constantly underpinned by masculinity and unfulfilled desires for wholeness.

An Analytical Study On The Level Of Job Burnout Among University Teachers On The Basis Of Their Designation

As the global population continues to increase daily, unemployment remains a significant challenge, with job opportunities not expanding at the same rate. The economies of India and other developing nations are particularly affected by this rising unemployment problem. Therefore, this study examines the factors that encourage entrepreneurial aspirations to start a business. This current study explores the effect of self-adequacy, family assistance, strong passion and desire for recognition on entrepreneurial aspirations. With the help of these factors, the young generation may initiate their business ventures. The data was gathered through a questionnaire and 256 young graduates and post-graduates from top B-schools in India were responded. The data collected were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. For the analysis of data, SPSS & Smart PLS 4 have been used. The result of the current research illustrated that self-adequacy, family assistance, strong passion and desire for recognition have a positive impact on the entrepreneurial aspirations of the young generation.

Discussion on Social Media Aesthetic War: Maurice Blanchot and the Establishment of Ethics

This short discussion paper proposes a non-traditional view to ethics and war, and aims to highlight new perspectives on how we view and understand war. Images, images, images are everywhere in the virtual sphere of the internet, YouTube, ads, and social media. This process of expressing oneself via the virtual image accelerates the fight for the aesthetic virtual beauty when people are trying to create an image of glorified, ideal, and perfect life. This is a mode of fight which aims to narcissistically show off their grandiosity and desire for recognition, admiration, and fascination, fighting for the viewers and followers. Such mode of hedonistic desire seems to shun ethics away from the screen. However, Maurice Blanchot, a 20th century French philosopher, who was prone to denounce the issues of his contemporary time in a rather obscure and distant way, may give us the opportunity to understand this war of aesthetics in social media and ethics.

Analysis of Work Motivation on Lecturers’ Work Productivity at The Faculty of Economics and Islamic Business UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta

In general, various factors influence work productivity, such as motivation, assessment, training, and development but in this article, researchers will only focus on the work motivation of lecturers. Work motivation has an important role in improving work productivity. Work motivation will be the driving force for lecturers to carry out tasks or obligations. This research method is qualitative research using case study techniques through interviews with sources. According to research, the trigger for the emergence of work motivation in lecturers are influenced by several factors, firstly is the desire for life (desire of life) which related to the salary, compensation, and bonuses provided by the college or place of work; secondly, the desire for position and power (the desire for position and power), where this is related to promotion; and finally, the desire for recognition (the desire of recognition), which is recognized for lecturer contributions and lecturer performance, giving praise for the achievements achieved by lecturers. Motivation also has an impact on lecturers, such as improving lecturer performance, lecturer productivity, and lecturer job satisfaction, which leads to the success of higher education.

PROGRESSIVE STEPS IN PREVENTING AND HANDLING MONEY POLITICS IN INDONESIAN ELECTIONS: AN EFFORT TO REDUCE DEVIANT BEHAVIOR IN DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS

The practice of money politics in elections is most commonly observed during campaign activities and the distribution of donations, especially in the form of cash contributions. Several factors contribute to this issue, including traditional practices, a desire for recognition, a conducive environment for unethical behavior, the ability to influence laws, wavering ethical values, impoverished communities, limited public awareness, and cultural norms. Money politics typically unfolds in two stages: pre-voting and post-voting. The pre-voting phase includes administrative selection, the campaign period, the quiet period, and the lead-up to the actual election, targeting primarily voters susceptible to influence. The post-election phase occurs after the election, particularly during the General Session of the DPR/DPRD and in decisions concerning the APBN/APBD, with political elites who wield significant authority being the main targets. These egal loopholes can be exploited for fraudulent purposes. Therefore, it is critical to enhance the clarity and enforceability of existing legal provisions.

Resistence to Klitih Behavior Based on Character Education

<p>This article examines the role of character education in addressing the issue of klitih behavior, which has recently become a trending topic on various social media platforms and has caused concern within the community. A descriptive qualitative approach is employed in this study, using a literature review as the research method, with data collection conducted through the 3M method: recording, analyzing, and integrating findings from previous studies that are relevant to the research theme. The results of this article's research indicate that klitih, as one form of delinquency among adolescents that has caused concern within the community, is influenced by several factors, including: lack of parental attention, family problems, negative environments and associations, the desire for recognition within a group/gang, insufficient knowledge of moral and religious values, and an already formed aggressive character in the child. Character education plays a crucial role in preventing and addressing this klitih behavior by shaping and instilling positive character values in children. Therefore, character education is considered a potential solution to address moral issues among teenagers/students.</p>

“I’m Not a Refugee Girl, Call Me Bella”: Professional Refugee Women, Agency, Recognition, and Emancipation

The notion of refugees as a viable source of labor to address skill shortages in the destination country’s labor market has rarely been the dominant discourse on refugee entrants. Bella’s1 lived experience as a professional woman who arrived as a Syrian conflict refugee to Australia in 2017 presents an outlier in refugee research and challenges conventional scholarly wisdom and public discourse. A combination of human capital, a purposeful use of networks, supported by her desire for recognition and a deep sense of self-worth allowed her to navigate the formalized and structured Australian business landscape. Accordingly, she was able to overcome the stigma of being a refugee: Less worthy of employment status in a position representative of her overseas skills and qualifications. In drawing on an outlier methodology and critical theory, we develop a more nuanced understanding of the agency of skilled and qualified refugee women drawing attention to lessons for business which typically takes a “one size fits all” approach to labor integration.

Tibet’s response to state nationalism: Utilising China’s fear of secession

AbstractTaking document analysis as its method, this paper examines the Tibetans’ response to the Chinese state nationalism. Due to the fear of political secession, the Chinese government has stayed silent about the Tibetans’ right to self‐determination and subjected regional ethnic autonomy to the centralised political system. The Chinese authorities continue to dismiss the Tibetans’ nationalist struggles as an imported foreign design and warn the international community not to sympathise with the Dalai Lama and his supporters. Amidst an adverse national and international political environment, the Tibetans have managed to sustain their nationalist wishes and obtain substantive international attention. Taking this background into account, this paper explores how the Tibetans have succeeded to resist China's state nationalism and position themselves as a champion of inclusion, justice, and minority rights. It argues that the Tibetans recognise the Chinese government’s fear of secession and utilise that fear to forward their nationalist aspirations. The Tibetans shift their demand from independence to autonomy and highlight their own desire for recognition as a distinct community within the Chinese state. This strategy has helped them to claim that they are against the violations of autonomy but not against the Chinese state’s territorial norms.

The Problem of Recognition in Modern Philosophy: Social and Anthropological Dimensions

Purpose. The purpose of the article lies in studying the main socio-anthropological measurements of the problem of recognition represented primarily by the philosophy of recognition of Alex Honneth, which is actualized by the struggle of the Ukrainian people for their existence and national-cultural recognition. A consistent analysis of the communicative paradigm in contemporary philosophy led to the understanding of its transformation into the reality of the problem of recognition and the identification of the main forms of recognition in it, which determine an individual’s perception of the social space as fair or unfair, where his dignity is disrespected. Theoretical basis. Turning to the works of Jurgen Habermas, Otfried Hoeffe, Ernst Tugendhat, Stefan Gosepath, and Thomas Rentsch made it possible to supplement the mainly procedural, theoretical-communicative way of philosophizing with a philosophical-anthropological, existential, contextual principle of awareness of recognition as a fundamental principle of justice and the understanding that the brutal, unjust destruction of the "living world" of a person and the state is synonymous with their physical destruction. The thesis of Francis Fukuyama about the relationship between the desire for recognition and human dignity inherent in human nature has acquired an important theoretical and methodological meaning. Originality. The article investigates the modern philosophical discourse of the problem of recognition in the socio-anthropological measurements, in the context of the relationship between recognition, the "living world" and justice, non-recognition, humiliation of human dignity, and injustice. And it was also found that the image of recognition represented by modern philosophical thought, as a horizon and condition of human existence, is based on the following components: justice, solidarity, dignity, and care. Exactly addressing the problem of recognition made it possible to answer the question about the anthropological-ontological, existential meaning of the desire of individuals, nations, and states for recognition and outline the ways of transforming recognition as a variant of "communicative utopia" into a real socio-cultural project. Conclusions. In contrast to justice, the theory of recognition comes from asymmetrical human relations, which, in the struggle for recognition, must become symmetrical. Although justice takes precedence over ethics of care and recognition, they are not actually in competition with each other, but belong to different but complementary dimensions of human existence. The perspective of philosophical understanding of the problem of recognition itself requires the deepening of its analysis with an existential-anthropological understanding rooted in a new, tragic life experience. Only under such conditions, it is possible to overcome the gap between often abstract philosophical reflections and real personal and social practices.

Good Words, Corrupt Words, and Publishing Etiquette

Adhering to the demands of integrity and having research attitudes rooted in moral sensibilities are of paramount importance for academics, researchers, and writers. Publishing etiquette requires them to invest adequate time and energy in conducting research and writing manuscripts and thus to produce beneficial knowledge. Putting together a document hastily and avoiding the much-needed effort in research and writing lead to negative outcomes. The corrupt practice of plagiarism and the desire for recognition through fraudulent and duplicitous publications are marked by deliberate deceptiveness. It debases the plagiarists, stagnates their intellectual growth, and vitiates the academic environment. Highlighting this observation, in this essay I shall discuss some dimensions and significance of publishing etiquette. I shall argue that attitudes and behaviours of researchers and academic practitioners determine the quality of the words and works that they produce.

Candace Hill‐Montgomery, Against Containment

This essay focuses on the work of New York‐based artist and poet Candace Hill‐Montgomery. In 1979, Hill‐Montgomery described her work as changing ‘the containment we all live within’, pointing both to the social and political investments of her practice, and to her formal transition from making art in her studio to making installations in public, often from found materials and detritus. Her desire for recognition and understanding across difference at a moment of rising neo‐conservatism was an investment in social and subjective repair. I trace this impulse across ‘environmental sculptures’, collages and artist's books made between 1979 and 1983, articulating a general impetus to be against containment that, I argue, is also instructive as an art‐historical method.

“Sharing in people's pain is not an easy thing to do”: Cognitive Behavioural Therapists' understandings of compassion in the workplace

AbstractObjectivesCompassion is central to the aim of improving patient care and staff well‐being within healthcare systems. To inform service development, explorations of experiences and meanings of compassion are needed. This study explored cognitive behavioural therapists' understandings of compassion within their work environment.DesignA qualitative study was conducted using semistructured interviews and interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA).MethodsData were obtained from five practicing cognitive behavioural therapists.ResultsTwo superordinate themes were developed, each with two subordinate themes. CBT therapists reported entering the profession with intrinsic motivation to care for others. They further developed an interest in compassion with exposure to clients and ongoing professional development in compassion‐focused therapy (CFT). Compassionate work environments helped to facilitate compassionate practice; however, for many, workplaces were perceived to lack compassion. Challenges were encountered when negative workplace interactions left therapists feeling fatigued, distressed and demoralised. There was a desire for recognition and to be seen as more than a “work machine,” the experience of which was a threat to retaining therapists within the profession.ConclusionsCurrent recruitment and training processes are producing staff with skills and motivation to deliver compassionate care. However, lack of compassion within workplaces can be a barrier to actioning these skills and motivations. Research needs to focus on how to effectively implement and run systems that are compassionate for both staff and clients. To provide compassionate care, staff need work environments that show compassion to them. These findings provide some insights into and practical suggestions regarding how this can be achieved.

Algorithmic Futures – Between the End of Work and the Desire for Recognition

Algorithmic Futures – Between the End of Work and the Desire for Recognition

ECONOMIC POWER OF NEGOTIATION

The referential framework of the given study is determined by the increasingly concentrated interest in the characteristics as well as the forms of manifestation of power both in individual and a collective projection. The definitional profile of collective power, as a unit of measure of identity sufficiency, has an essential complement in the context of economic interdependence. Semantic dilation occurs with the recognition of the economic component in order to create a decision-making and influence model inside and outside. The model summarizes a strategic construct of legitimizing a power in an adjusted and balanced negotiation process that produces long-lasting advantages and benefits at low cost. Power becomes a micro and macroeconomic indicator since it provides a desire for recognition.

Value-Semantic Preconditions of Professional Success of the Individual: Gender Measure

The study is devoted to the examination of personal factors of professional success, namely the relationship between the components of social-communicative competence and value-semantic priorities of professional self-realisation, such as: professional status, social recognition, and creative self-realisation this is especially relevant in the context of creating the most favourable conditions for the professional development of young people. The purpose of the study is to identify gender features of social-communicative competence and identify how they affect objective and subjective measurements of professional success. The key research methods are a set of surveys, in particular, the author’s questionnaire called “Success” and the method of G.V. Protasova, “Social-communicative competence”. The results obtained demonstrate that for male representatives, the status measurement of professional success substantially correlates with the tolerance of the subjects to frustration, while in women this measurement of professional success is interrelated with the level of development of communicative competence. The study proposes that the desire for recognition as a measurement of professional success in male representatives is substantially interrelated with the orientation to success, and in female representatives, this measurement of success positively correlates with the tolerance of the subjects to frustration. It is proved that the desire for creative self-realisation as a measure of professional success correlates in male representatives with a high degree of personal autonomy, and in women – with high indicators of tolerance to uncertainty. The results of the study allow for determining the genderspecific features of psychological factors of professional success, namely, they represent the priority in this context for men of masculine, and for women of androgynous type of gender identity, which are certain coordinates for creating appropriate programmes for the development and actualisation of the potential of professional success of the individual

The "Roaring Flame": Pursuing Thymos in Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart

Drawing principally from Francis Fukuyama’s (1952–) conception of thymos, this article focuses on exploring Okonkwo’s desire and his rigid personality in Chinua Achebe’s (1930–2013) magnum opus titled Things Fall Apart (1958). This paper hopes to prove how Achebe’s most famous character, Okonkwo, attempts to gratify his thymos which is described as a ‘desire for recognition’. Consistent with Fukuyama’s notion, this research examines how Okonkwo struggles to gain his thymos in confrontation with Ibo people and how his thymos-driven emotions incite him to reject the white colonists’ dominance in the fictional clan of Umuofia in Iboland. Therefore, we argue why Okonkwo’s self-willed personality and his ambivalent desire towards his clan’s values and the white man’s presence feature him as a “thymotic man” or the “man of anger.” Ultimately, this article demonstrates that Okonkwo rebels against the white colonists’ alleged injustice to satisfy his thymos and be “unbeatable.”
