Spirituality as the Basis of Human Development

Humanity possesses a unique energy absent in material existence, capable of elevating an individual beyond life's material conditions and lifting him above nature with all its good qualities. This spirit of true humanity expresses itself in high sensual phenomena such as complete trust, love, and a sense of the sacred.Spiritual feelings must have their own internal structure that generates them. If the mind moves according to the logic of objective expediency, then the manifestations of this structure – the soul – are associated with self-giving without considerations of expediency. The soul brings additional shades of harmony to nature. The spiritual principle of a person is objectively valuable to the world around him, since the human task is to spiritualize matter, refine it and bring new beauty into the material world.Hence it is clear that education is even more necessary than the transfer of knowledge. A factor of paramount importance in the process of human development is the cultivation of spiritual feelings, the formation of a true understanding of the world, training in various arts and the ability to transform reality.

MODERN HUMAN: INFORMATION ASPECTS OF ANTHROPOSOCIOGENESIS

The article notes that the mechanisms for processing and storing information, formed as a result of humanity's long evolution, are currently undergoing significant transformations. There is a radical transformation of space and time, fundamental dimensions of human life. The use of new technologies generates new dangers, on the one hand, fostering individual self-development and social progress, and on the other hand, leading to an increased tendency towards negative activities by individuals.

THE HALF MOTHER: AN INQUIRY INTO THE POETICS OF RESISTANCE LITERATURE

“The Half Mother: An Inquiry into the Poetics of Resistance Literature” investigates the dynamic interplay between literary representation and political resistance in the context of the Kashmir conflict. This paper delves into how Shahnaz Bashir's novel, The Half Mother, exemplifies the genre of resistance literature by exploring the intersection of personal and collective trauma amidst a protracted conflict. The Kashmir Valley, historically a cradle of poetic and artistic expression, has faced profound devastation since the late 1980s due to a surge in violence and insurgency. This period, marked by intense militarization and human rights abuses, has given rise to a distinct body of English-language literature that seeks to authentically portray the lived experiences of its people.The study situates The Half Mother within the broader framework of resistance literature, drawing on Ghassan Kanafani's theoretical construct of resistance as both a cultural and political act. This study demonstrates how these literary efforts transcend mere chronicles of victimhood to engage in a profound examination of human resilience and the quest for self-determination. Bashir’s novel thus emerges as a pivotal text that not only contributes to the international literary discourse but also amplifies the voices of a marginalized and silenced population. The Half Mother encapsulates the transformation of individual suffering into a collective resistance, shedding light on the intrinsic link between literary creation and political struggle, and offering a poignant commentary on the enduring human spirit amidst adversity.

Empathy and Self-Empathy in the Anthropological Dimension of Modernity

Purpose. In the article, the author questions rethinking the phenomena of empathy and self-empathy as modes of self-understanding of humanity and the inner intention to self-exploration of human spirituality. Theoretical basis. The research is based on the phenomenological dimension of modern anthropology and axiology. Originality. The change of the traditional intersubjective approach in the understanding of empathy to an introsubjective one and the affirmation of self-empathy as one of the defining existences in human beings, which is adjusted by the altruism-egoism value scale and forms the skills of unconditional empathic action towards the Other as a mode of self-exploration in the spiritual essence of a person are argued. Conclusions. The commonplace in a wide palette of research views on empathy is the construct for the Self – Other disposition and the intersubjective approach emphasizing the object of empathy. Transformation of the intention vector of empathic consciousness from the object to the subject of empathic action opens up deep possibilities of spiritual improvement as a way of self-awareness in the human essence. The transformation of the intention vector of empathic consciousness from intersubjective (I in the Other) to introsubjective (I through the Other) has the potential for spiritual development according to the altruism-egoism value scale. Empathy as an introsubjective position of self-exploration is inseparably connected with self-empathy, which in the mutual integration of its three main components – benevolence towards oneself, reflexivity towards one’s own experience and a tendency to understand one’s fate as common to all mankind – forms an important regulator of self-understanding of a person’s spiritual potential and the possibility of the practical extrapolation for these skills to an empathic way of communication at all levels of anthropo-being. Anthropological accentuation on the inner essence and meanings of human existence is carried out through intuition and self-altruism as the fading of pragmatic interest in the socially conditioned Self (Ego) and immersion in the essential Self – the bearer of the universal spiritual in a person. Self-empathy is considered in the context of the ideas of Stoicism as a deep self-immersion in the human essence and sensitivity to immediate emotional internal states, as a construct of emotional intelligence and a way of realizing individual uniqueness in the context of the metamodern concept of atopy. Self-empathy is defined as one of the key existences in human beings, which forms the skill of altruistic (unconditional) implementation of empathy.

Terminological Metaphor: Ontology, Gnoseology, Deontology

The communion between man and the universe is a benchmark for meditation on existential values, reflecting human complexity: body, soul, and spirit. Metaphor, present in all fields, indicates intellectual performance, being a distinct characteristic of the human spirit. Terminological metaphor, a relatively new concept, transfers meaning from a concrete domain to an abstract one, based on analogy (association) and conceptual differences. Researchers identify the cognitive and structural functions of conceptual metaphor. In the language system, metaphors impose their own conceptual models, providing terms with functional capacity. Metaphorization is a universal cognitive phenomenon. The article proposes to approach terminological metaphor from ontological, epistemological, and deontological perspectives in elucidating the phenomenon of specialized metaphorization, using as benchmarks loan terms from modern languages of scholarly formation, Greek and Latin.

With the development of neural networks, which create media texts on an equal footing with journalists, the categories of “creativity” and “authorship” are becoming the subject of scientific discussion. The subject of the study is creativity and journalistic creativity functioning in the era of neural networks development. The aim is to reveal the essence of creativity, which can exist as a product of human activity rather than a computer system that only imitates the processes that take place in the human brain. MATERIALS AND METHODS. General scientific methods were used in the work: theoretical and conceptual synthesis of philosophical, cultural, and psychological sources, and the literature devoted to the issues of journalistic creativity and the use of neural networks in spiritual production was studied.RESULT AND DISCUSSION. The social essence of journalistic creativity, which results in human spiritual and thinking activity, was substantiated. While neural network has neither consciousness nor intuition that generates creative process.CONCLUSION. Interaction between a human and a neural network in the creation of an original work is impossible on conditions of parity, as creative activity is always personally motivated and controlled by the subject. The field of application of the results of this article can be the psychology of journalistic creativity.

Диалектическое движение философской мысли: генезис Системы Знания в философии Александра Кожева. Статья вторая: синтез дискурсов

The article delves into the historical-philosophical framework developed by Alexandre Kojève, a French Neo-Hegelian thinker, known as The Knowledge System. This project is rooted in Hegelian inspiration and seeks to comprehensively elucidate the historical trajectory of philosophical discourse. The subsequent segment of the article serves to encapsulate and evaluate Kojève’s scheme of philosophical evolution. Central to this analysis is the examination of the interconnectedness and fusion of theological, scientific, and moral discourses within Kojève’s historical-philosophical milieu. This exploration sheds light on Kojève’s conception of Hegelian anthropotheism. Kojève’s methodological approach to the history of philosophy stands out for its departure from the conventional narrative of uninterrupted intellectual lineage from ancient Greece. Instead, he highlights a pivotal shift catalyzed by the advent of Christianity, which amalgamates elements from Hellenic pagan philosophy and Jewish monotheism. To underscore the divergence between Kojève’s perspectives on ancient philosophy (as well as subsequent periods) and those of established scholars, we draw upon Richard Rorty’s framework of the four genres of historiography in contemporary philosophy. According to Rorty, Kojève’s historical-philosophical framework aligns with Geistesgeschichte, or the «history of the human spirit».
