Idea Of Unity Research Articles

AL-QUR'AN DAN KEHEBATAN KONSEP LANGIT TANPA TIANG

The article also explores the concept of pillars in the Quran and their differences from the Western view. In the Quran, pillars are often used as a symbol of stability and strength, representing the steadfastness of believers in their faith. This concept is different from the Western view, where pillars are often seen as mere structural elements that provide support. The philosophical implications of a pillar-less sky in the Quran are also discussed in the article. The symbolism of a pillar-less sky represents the idea of unity and impartiality in Islam, which emphasizes the importance of a unified and impartial approach to life. This concept has practical implications in everyday life, as it encourages individuals to adopt an open-minded and inclusive attitude towards others. Overall, this article aims to provide a deeper understanding of the Quranic concept of a pillar-less sky and its philosophical implications in everyday life. By exploring the symbolism and significance of this concept, readers can gain a greater appreciation of the wisdom and guidance offered by the Quran in understanding the universe and living a fulfilling life

Imperial statehood as the basis for successful national development of Russia

This article is devoted to the study of imperial statehood as a traditional form of statehood for Russia and the Russian people. The author of the article notes that in the minds of most Russians and residents of the Earth, the term “empire” is perceived with a pronounced negative connotation, which is a consequence of the dominant in science and mass consciousness, thanks to the activities of the media and propaganda, certain myths about empire and ideological attitudes.Imperial states are usually identified either with a large power in their territorial possessions, or with a special type of state entities seeking constant territorial expansion, coupled with the merciless exploitation of “enslaved” peoples, i.e. with colonial powers, often to raise their status calling themselves “empires”.Meanwhile, such ideas have nothing to do with reality. Classical empires are a special type of state entity dominated by the idea of unity of society in the name of the common good. Different ethnic groups coexist peacefully in culture and customs, coexisting under the patronage and supervision of the core imperial ethnic group, while maintaining their traditional way of life, economic structures, the system of local self-government and often statehood.The study of the phenomenon of “empire” is very important at present in the light of determining the prospects and vector for the further development of the Russian world, Russian society and statehood. For, as history shows, the fate of the empire is inseparable from the fate of the core imperial ethnic group, i.e. the Russian people. And in this sense, the empire is not only a tradition, but also the fate of Russia.

A study on the influence of the spread of Yangming Studies in Japan on the psychology of the Japanese people based on big data analysis

Abstract The analysis of the psychological impact of the spread of Yangming studies in Japan on the Japanese people is to enable Yangming studies to be better developed in Japan. Based on big data analysis technology, this paper constructs a hybrid data analysis model using the EM algorithm and proposes performance evaluation indexes for the model. Under the EM data analysis model constructed in this paper, the example indicators of the Japanese people’s psychological impact in disseminating Yangming studies by big data analysis are explored, i.e., the psychological acceptability of the dissemination method and the psychological and moral construction impact. Regarding the dissemination method, the Japanese people are more receptive to disseminating Yangming studies in Japan through “learning rules”, with an average percentage of 39.37%. Regarding psychological and moral construction, 90.22% of the Japanese people believe that disseminating Yangming studies can promote self-improvement of value standards and correct self-examination. Based on the big data analysis, we can effectively see from the data the impact of Yangming studies on the audience in the process of dissemination, and improve the scope of Yangming studies dissemination according to the data feedback, so that more people can recognize the idea of unity of knowledge and action.

Türk Dünyasında Birlik Fikrinin Kökenleri

As the Turks outside the Ottoman Empire lost their independence from 1885 and the ideas such as Ottomanism and Pan-Islamism were overwhelmed with the zeitgeist, the idea of unity emerged as a worldview and a new image of civilization in the Turkic World, which reinterpreted its civilizational identity within the framework of a multilevel reconstruction period. This study addresses the reconstruction of the centuries-long historical and cultural heritage of the Turkic world by the representatives of this idea based on the unity of language, i.e. having language as a unifying element, from a historical perspective. In this framework, studies published in five different languages were analyzed.

The Holotic Structure of the Ideas of Unity, Identity and Finality

Abstract In this paper, I touch on the holotic structure of the ideas of unity, identity and finality, using the word “holotic” to refer to a theory that includes both partonomic (or mereological) wholes and taxonomic (or diairological) wholes. In the second section, I expound on two classifications of wholes and two classifications of the types of parts I deem relevant to the ideas of unity, identity and finality. In the third and fourth sections, I discuss how these three ideas acquire different significance depending on the type of totalities and parts involved.

History and Memory in the Basilian School in Uman (1765-1834)

The purpose of the research paper. This paper is an attempt to present the historical education at the Basilian school in Uman (the programmes, methods, didactic aids, qualifications, and professional skills of teachers and caretakers) and the mechanisms which shaped the cultural memory of its alumni (in-school and after-school activities)
 Scientific novelty. By engaging in mnemohistorical reflection, we wish to show the cultural components which may have impacted the construction of the cultural memory of Uman alumni. We will be interested in the science and didactics of history, as well as in answering the question how the Basilian “now” of the 19th century was affected by the past, and how that past was constantly being reinvented, remodelled, rediscovered, and reconstructed by the tutors and their pupils.
 Conclusions. The aim of the Basilian pedagogy was to raise a citizen able to function in the multi-ethnic and multi-denominational Commonwealth. Indubitably, the so-called idea of unity was a fundamental component of Basilians’ thinking-acting. The pupils were, therefore, raised in the sense of a national as well as Catholic, two-rite community (obviously keeping their own, Ruthenian and Uniate distinctness). The bloody events of 1768 in Uman were an important part of imparted knowledge. The teachers created a particular educational trail tracing the pogrom (the monastery, the well, the church, Sofiyivka). This trail formed a complete iconosphere, where each “site of memory” evoked visual experiences and triggered a whole system of associations, agitations, and emotions. Its existence is attested by descriptions found in the accounts and memoirs of former students. The school also employed secular people, filled with new ideas, not always compliant with the Basilian charism. They instilled in young people “secular” ideas and values, such as the adoration for the Emperor of the French and all movements which could tear down the rules established after the Congress of Vienna: restauration, legitimism, and the balance of power.

The Holy See and Fyodor Dostoevsky: Mutual Attraction and Repulsion

The article analyzes the attitude of Fyodor Dostoevsky toward the Roman Catholic Church. The author shows how Dostoevsky comes to the Slavophile idea of unity and the impossibility of salvation outside church communion, while speaking of the Church as an ecclesia, that is, an assembly of believers. At the same time, the reception of Dostoevsky from the side of the Vatican is presented. In the article, special attention is paid to the perception of Dostoevsky’s ideas by Pope Francis. The author notes that the point of attraction and repulsion between Dostoevsky and Catholic culture lies in the plane of his understanding of the concepts of nationality and universality. Dostoevsky’s Russian idea and his view on the essence of Christianity grows from the synthesis of these concepts. The author emphasizes that only in this perspective it is necessary to interpret Dostoevsky’s ideas.

Принципы гармонизации природной среды в архитектурном пространстве

The reason for writing this article was long-term residence in the city, with a number of negative factors, both natural and anthropogenic. Being an integral part of nature, man managed to plunder its wealth, directing everything to his needs. Moreover, changing the environment to suit his needs, he in no way thought about the consequences, polluting the air, land and water every day, and also depriving nature of the opportunity to put itself in order. Thus, environmental problems have become especially relevant in our time. There have always been enthusiasts trying to help and fix the problem of pollution, but on a global scale, the search for a solution has been relatively recent. The first major changes can be considered the projects of new master plans and reconstructions of large cities in Europe in the 19th century. So decisions were made to separate the industrial and residential areas, as well as the introduction of park areas in the residential part of the city. Parks, which for the most part were a luxury item, being only on the estates of rich people, have now reached the masses, thereby providing ordinary people with access to a more environmentally friendly area, and also gave rise to a new vector of architectural development, which resulted a hundred years later in the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and his concept of "prairie houses". Architecture, being one of the largest instruments of influence on public life, has hoisted the banner to bring the idea of unity with nature into society. This will embody the ideas of harmony between man and nature, will improve the microclimate both in a single apartment and in the city as a whole, will set a trend for preserving nature and correcting existing mistakes. Astana, a city that does not have natural features that would create favorable weather and climate conditions, such as the Alps in Switzerland, or dense forests, as in Russia. The location in an open field makes it necessary to take a more careful approach to improving the microclimate in the city.

Demystifying Distrust: Exploring the Metaphysically Archaic Link between the Northeast and the Mainland India

The epistemic focus of the paper will be on how the ideas of Akhand Bharat and Bharatvarsha as elucidated in epics and sacred texts has mentions of the Northeast regions. The aim is to illuminate the adventures of various deities in the regions of the Northeast such as the marriage between Arjuna and Princess Uloopi of Nagaland, Arjun’s expedition to Manipur, the lineage of Ghatokach, the legend of Naraksura, the marriage between Arjun and Princess Chitrangada of Manipur, etc. The history of the Kamakhya Temple of Assam and the town of Tezpur will be elucidated, as also the rich Vaishnavite culture of Manipur with raas-leela being the emblem of the state’s pride. This age-old idea of unity is important to illuminate against the commonplace understanding, held mostly by the inhabitants of the Northeast, that the region had historically never belonged to India and against the backdrop of the narrative of the ‘forceful’ accession. Such an exposition may aid in allaying the misunderstanding harbored by the Northeastern and the mainland Indians alike, which has been the cause of racial discrimination and name callings such as chinky (a derogatory term used to refer to the North-east people) and mayang (a derogatory term used to refer to the mainland Indians). Illuminating the ancient ties may help repair the emotional rupture between these two units of Bharat.

The Religion of Love Ibn 'Arabi in the Perspective of PsychoHistorical Hermeneutics

The religion of love is a term expressed by Ibn ‘Arabi in a unity of ideas about the concept of Wahdatul Wujud. As a node that summarizes the overall ideas of Ibn ‘Arabi about love and religion, it certainly does not just arise from empty space. There is the influence of the spirit of the era that lies behind the presence of the idea. The presence of the term 'religion of love', expressed by Ibn ‘Arabi, will not be separated from the influence of social and cultural backgrounds, the locus of the times in which Ibn‘ Arabi lived and gave birth to his thoughts. This becomes an interesting problem to study, about how the concept of the religion of love arises, and how it influences the spirit of the times that surround it. Using the psycho-historical hermeneutics approach, this paper aims to examine the concept of the religion of love, and the influence of the spirit of the times that surround it. The results of the discussion show that the context of the age of Ibn 'Arabi gave a major influence on the birth of Ibn' Arabi's view of the religion of love, namely in the aspect: the city where Ibn 'Arabi was educated, and the teachers and people whom Ibn' Arabi met along his intellectual and spiritual odyssey.

Tribalism and Ethnophobia Among Black South Africans

The paper examines the consolidation and implications of tribalism and ethnophobia among black South Africans. South Africa is considered a xenophobic country. With the demise of apartheid and the subsequent increase in undocumented migration, tensions began to develop, not only against black foreign nationals but also among black South Africans themselves. This paper focuses on how tribalism and ethnophobia have divided black South Africans and removed the need for unity and social cohesion in a post-apartheid era. This paper employed a qualitative research approach where a literature review was undertaken. The othering theory was used as a theoretical lens. Findings reflect that although South Africa is recognized as a rainbow nation because of its many different cultures and customs, it is hidden beneath ethnic and tribal emotions that have stifled the idea of unity and social cohesion. South Africa is still far from eradicating tribalistic and ethnophobic sentiments amongst its black population. Apart from ethnicity and tribalism, race continues to divide South Africa. The political transition of 1994 lacked effective frameworks to unite the various ethnic groups that were for decades segregated by apartheid; instead, the focus was on building a new South Africa. However, this approach missed the mark by not focusing on the importance of ethnic unity and tolerance among black South Africans. Unless these tribalistic and ethnophobic sentiments are addressed, unity and social cohesion in the South African black community is unlikely.

Феномен соборності у науковому та політичному дискурсах

The article examines the etymology of the word „unity”, the genesis of the idea of unity in Ukrainian political thought and scientific discourse, proposes the theoretical and methodological foundations of the research, and analyzes the evolution of the idea of unity in the discourses of political parties and presidents of Ukraine. It is about the evolution of the idea of unity throughout the entire process of Ukrainian state formation. Historical realities were of great importance for the formation and affirmation of the idea of unity, namely, the fragmentation of lands, foreign rule, the loss of the religious oneness of the people, and national oppressions. The evolution of the idea of the unity from the princely era to the present, from the idea of a united Rus to the idea of a free Independent United Ukraine, is traced, based on the research of domestic and foreign authors. Attention is focused on the symbolism of unity, markers of unity, traditions of holding „living chains” of unity as the main symbol of the Day of Unity, which Ukrainians build, symbolizing the unification of Ukrainian lands and state unity and the nationwide celebration of Unity Day. The Day of the Unity of Ukraine is characterized by the actualization of three dimensions of political meaning – past, present and future. The idea of unity was determined, first of all, by the unity of values, ideals and interests of the citizens of Ukraine. In the political discourse, emphasis was placed on the fact that the unity is a symbol of the unification of the country, as well as a reference point for the future as a territorial and spiritual unity of the people. In the addresses and speeches of the Presidents of Ukraine, the evolution from the idea of unity to the idea of oneness was traced. Presidents of Ukraine appealed to the lessons of the past and historical figures of Ukraine; they emphasized that the unity is an indivisible whole of all Ukrainian lands; noted that unity is not only about the territory, but also about oneness, cohesion, community. Preserving the territorial integrity of Ukraine, strengthening the unity of its regions, the diversity and distinction of which have developed as a result of objective historical circumstances, will continue to be a relevant, but also an urgent task of today.

Концептуалізація ідеї соборності в незалежній Україні: генеза смислотворення

In the article, the author analyzes the development of the idea of the unity of Ukraine, contradictions and heterogeneity in interpretive and normative approaches, which were explicitly or latently aimed at forming the value orientations of the Ukrainian nation, starting from 1991 until 2014, when the Revolution of Dignity took place. It was revealed that the specified period was characterized by the relentless search and production of new meanings, which had a contradictory nature, on the one hand, they were aimed at the rehabilitation of national history, and on the other hand, they served as a manipulative tool for the formation of public opinion and had a disintegrating effect on Ukrainian society. Special attention was paid to the issue of highlighting the idea of unity in normative and legal acts, in particular those that regulated the rehabilitation of national history and the restoration in the public field of the country of the discourse on the Day of Unity of Ukraine as an event that directly symbolized the aspirations of the Ukrainian people for the establishment of a sovereign and independent state. The article also reveals modifications of the concept of unity in the context of the ideological foundations of the work of a number of public organizations at the national and local levels. It was revealed that the period 1991–2014 was fundamental for the production of new meanings and orientations in nation-building, which ideologically prepared the ground for the events of 2014, the Euromaidan and the Revolution of Dignity, as well as the annexation of Crimea and the occupation of part of Donbas, which marked a new stage a test of the stability of the Ukrainian nation, in particular its unity not only in the symbolic dimension, but also in the practical plane of a direct military conflict, when the context of previous worldview contradictions was removed for the sake of preserving the political unity of the Ukrainian nation, which was subjected to a direct external attack from кussian federation. It was stressed that speculative discussions, discriminatory rhetoric surrounding the concept of the unity of the Ukrainian political nation over time transformed into a political technology of undermining the unity of Ukraine, in particular at the level of popularizing the idea of „incompatibility” and „mutual exclusivity” of the West and East of Ukraine, their economic, cultural, and foreign policy orientations. Political manipulations, multiplied by significant financial and organizational resources, led to the emergence and strengthening of regional political regimes, the actualization of disintegrating separatist political projects.

Androgyny and a Dream: Gaston Bachelard’s Question about a New Anthropology

Androgyny as the idea of unity and wholeness appears in the thought of Gaston Bachelard in the context of a poetic dream. It is in it, as we learn from “Poetics of Dreams”, that the reconciliation of anima and animus, female and male in one psyche takes place. The anima dream is called by the French philosopher the philosophy of androgynous existence, which shows us a double idealization of humanity. The anima and animus, confirming the androgyny of the psyche, are Self-moments. This dual nature of mental being is expressed through two antagonisms represented by the function of reality (adaptation to reality and social life) and the function of irreality (loneliness of dreams); supervised thought (criticism, censorship) and free dreaming (liking, acceptance, attachment); work (effort) and rest (relaxation); anxiety (project, anticipation) and peace (presence in oneself) - especially around the duality that crystallizes in the distinction between the scientific mind (l'esprit scientifique) under the sign of the animus (concepts, knowledge) and the poetic mind (l'esprit poetique) anima (images, communion of souls). Androgyny, understood as the integral life of the psyche, is for Bachelard perspective and valuable, and he identifies attempts to seek it with the question of the meaning of human existence. The study of the dream shows its fundamental importance for the balance of the psyche. The power of images understood in this way then creates the art of living. In this sense, Bachelard becomes a precursor of a new perspective in the field of reflection on the issue of the image - it turns out that the image is responsible for the relationship between man and the world.

Ideology of the Mongol World Domination in “The Collection of Chronicles” by Rashid al-Din

The article presents the results obtained in the course of work on identifying plots in medieval written sources that demonstrate manifestations of the Mongol imperial ideology and allow not only to clearly identify its contours and content, but also to establish with the greatest possible accuracy the moment of transition of the Mongols from predatory and punitive expeditions to systematic subordination of the whole known world space. To achieve this goal, materials contained in the collective work “Collection of Chronicles” (“Jami al-tawarikh”) were analyzed, the compiler and, apparently, the main author of which was a Persian doctor and a major administrator of Jewish origin, Fazlallah Rashid al-Din Hamadani (1247–1318), who served at the court of Ilkhans Gazan (1295–1304) and Oldjeitu (1304–1316). This work is rightfully considered one of the most important sources on the Mongol Empire. In terms of amount of information about its prehistory and early history, it has no equal. The “Collection of Chronicles” contains unique information about spiritual climate of the steppes in XII – early XIII centuries and the personality of Temujin/Genghis Khan (1162?–1227), shedding light on his ideas about the world space and possible plans regarding its subjugation, about conquering plans of his descendants and their implementations. It is difficult to name an aspect of the Mongol imperial ideology that would not be reflected on its pages. Rashid al-Din, as a person who held high positions in the Ilkhanate, had wide access to information, which is why his words, in general, deserve trust and in many cases are confirmed by other sources. Despite the fact that by the time his work was compiled, the Mongol Empire as a whole had not existed for a long time, the “Collection of Chronicles” is permeated with the idea of unity of the Mongol world.

THE SOVIET MYTH OF THE «UKRAINIAN PEOPLE’S REUNIFICATION» AS AN IDEOLOGICAL WEAPON AGAINST THE UKRAINIAN LIBERATION MOVEMENT

Based on the analysis of the Soviet myth of the «Ukrainian people’s reunification», the article has revealed the enemy image construction and dissemination process, which Soviet propaganda used in the struggle against the Ukrainian liberation movement in the annexed Ukrainian territories. The authors adhere to a contemporary methodological approach to understanding the myth as an ideologically marked narrative, which is the primary communication tool between the political regime and the masses. The role of the myth of the «Ukrainian people’s reunification» in the official historical memory’s version and the use of this myth by the Stalinist regime as an alternative to the Ukrainian national idea of unity has been clarified. The transformation of the mythologeme about the enemy in the Soviet official discourse during World War II and the post-war years has been traced. The authors have established that Soviet ideologists directed the image of the internal enemy against the Ukrainian liberation movement, portraying the national powers, which fought for the independence and unity of Ukraine, as betrayers of the Ukrainian people and attributing to them a class nature and dependence on Western states. The article has identified the main characteristics of two images of the internal enemy, «Ukrainian bourgeois nationalists» and «Ukrainian-German nationalists», which were constructed in Soviet narratives. Using the example of the party leaders’ proclamations, historical and literary essays, and propaganda articles, authors have described the attempts of the Soviet power to turn the Western Ukrainian community against the Ukrainian liberation movement and to demonstrate the futility of an independent and unity Ukraine idea. The article has also defined various ways of spreading Soviet mythology and the influence of the myth to liquidate the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and enforce ideological campaigns.

Tweeting for legitimacy: exploring soft power in EU leaders’ discourse during the Covid-19 and Russo-Ukrainian crises

In the past two decades, the European Union (EU) has confronted numerous crises that have jeopardized the legitimacy of its institutions and its actions, threatening the EU’s domestic and international legitimacy. However, crises also present opportunities for the EU to assert itself by implementing effective policies, fostering cooperation among Member States, and bolstering its legitimacy as a significant actor and crisis manager. Normative ideas aligned with society’s values and interests have emerged as helpful tools for framing and justifying policy choices in a way that can increase public support and the EU’s legitimacy. Such ideas are disseminated through leaders’ discourses, particularly on social media, as part of a soft power strategy aimed at attracting, rather than coercing, both domestic and international audiences. Analyzing leaders’ discourses offers critical insights into the use of soft power within international institutions and its potential to shape perceptions, ultimately strengthening their legitimacy. This paper examines the soft power references to the normative ideas of unity, solidarity, and values incorporated in the Twitter communications of three prominent EU leaders – Ursula Von der Leyen, Charles Michel, and Josep Borrell – during the Covid-19 and Ukrainian crises. The analysis reveals that these leaders delivered a coordinated discourse, using cross-pollinated soft power references during these crises. This approach demonstrates their efforts to turn crises into opportunities that strengthen the EU’s legitimacy and relevance, contributing to a more resilient future. This study contributes to advance academic understanding of the EU’s soft power strategy, legitimation discourse, and crisis management.

The Real Politics of The European Convention on Human Rights

Avrupa mekânında temel haklar koruması, devlet egemenliği düzeyi ile İnsan Hakları Avrupa Sözleşmesi tarafından inşa edilen ulus-üstü egemenlik düzeyi arasındaki yetkilerin paylaşımı üzerine oturur. Bu iki egemenlik düzeyi bir birinden su geçirmez bölmelerle ayrılmış değildir. Tam tersi iki düzey arasında bir tamamlayıcılık ilişkisi vardır. Bu ilişkiyi yöneten ise İnsan Hakları Avrupa Mahkemesinin ürettiği içtihadi bir ilke olarak ikincilliktir. İkincillik ilkesi, temel haklar korumasının “birincil” olarak taraf devletlere düştüğü, Mahkemenin ise “düzenleyici” bir yargısal fonksiyona sahip olduğu anlamına gelir. Ne var ki 1 Ağustos 2021 tarihinde yürürlüğe giren 15 No’lu Protokol ile bu ilke şimdi taraf devletler tarafından Sözleşme metnine eklenmiş ve aynı devletler, egemenlikleri ve iç hukuklarının özgün niteliklerini koruma arayışına girmiştir. Bu noktada çalışmanın temel kaygısı, 15 No’lu Protokolün anlamını, Avrupa mekânında birlik fikri ile Sözleşme hukukunun karşılıklı gelişim çizgisi üzerine oturtup geleceğe yönelik bir takım sorular sorabilmektir.
