On the Platonic pedagogical methodology: an alternative to the Aristotelian theory of education

ABSTRACT My aim in this paper is to challenge the neo-Aristotelian tradition, currently dominant in contemporary theories of virtue education, by proposing the Platonic pedagogical methodology for virtue cultivation as a worthy alternative to the Aristotelian theory of education. I highlight that, in contrast to Aristotle’s limited remarks concerning virtue education, Plato conceptualizes and develops a rigorous educational theory in the Republic that considers many different facets of education – i.e. moral character education, intellectual character education, exemplarism and educational corruption. Given Plato’s immense contribution to virtue education theory, I conclude that his educational program merits more attention. It can serve as inspiration both for improving existing theories of character education and for developing new ones.

CSBS: Whither and whence?

In 1933 nine scholars from the University of Toronto and its affiliated colleges met to establish the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies (CSBS), which thus became the oldest academic society in Canada. This article examines the CSBS’s early history with a special focus on its purpose and intellectual stance. From there it moves to chart an impression of the Society’s current achievements, activities and intellectual character. This leads to a brief assessment of the challenges that face the CSBS in the future.

Matilde de Magdeburgo y Margarita Porete. Diferentes modos de comprender el amor en la unión con la divinidad

Este artículo analiza la obra de dos beguinas del s. XIII pertenecientes a la denominada teología vernácula. Se propone caracterizar las obras de Matilde de Magdeburgo,La luz que fluye de la divinidad, y de Margarita Porete, El espejo de las almas simples, a fin de determinar las notas más distintivas de las autoras. En ambos trabajos el amor es central, a la vez que está íntimamente vinculado con el conocimiento. Aun así, la lectura de los textos y su detenido examen permite proponer que la obra de Matilde está principalmente relacionada con la literatura del amor cortés mientras que la de Margarita, a la vez que incluye estos elementos, está más enraizada en la mística de la nada, que será luego ampliamente conocida en la tradición por el trabajo de Meister Eckhart. Por esta razón, el lugar otorgado a los sentidos y la corporalidad adquiere mayor relevancia en la obra de Matilde, mientras que en Margarita la experiencia amorosa unitiva es puramente espiritual. Estos matices en las caracterizaciones de la unión con la divinidad deben ser leídos en su contexto histórico, dado que durante el s. XIII y el siguiente se desarrolló una polémica sobre el carácter afectivo o intelectual de la unión mística. Estas diferentes maneras de entender el amor que encontramos en los trabajos de estas autoras medievales representan otro modo de abordar la idea y la función del eros, que desde Platón en adelante ha sido uno de los temas centrales de la reflexión filosófica.

Ulul Albāb dalam Al-Qurán dan Relasinya dengan Perubahan Sosial

Ulul albab is usually used as an academic term by those who use it as a motto or philosophy of movement both personally and institutionally. This term is repeated 16 times in the Qur'an, indicating that there is something special in it. This also shows how crucial ulul albab is in human life. Therefore, the study of ulul albab invites more profound attention, whether it is appropriate that ulul albab is categorized only to describe an intellectual character or not. This study uses a maudhuí interpretation approach, a thematic interpretation approach compiling verses with the same theme for further interpretation. Furthermore, this research raises a fundamental problem to answer how Al-Qurán describes the ulul albab and how is the relevance of the understanding of ulul albab with life. Based on the formulation of the problem, several answers were found that the ulul albab is the one who has a mind and uses it in its place. Humans who characterize the depth of thought, dhikr, and have high moral values. Another explanation is that ulul albab has the sharpness of reason and spiritual depth, whose belief is firm in exercising faith in Allah which is manifested in religious ritual activities in the aspect of worship and those who do not forget to pray to Allah. In another aspect, it is described as a person who thinks about the universe. It ends in the element of belief and commitment to always care for nature and the environment, and society.

Character Strengths and Ethical Engagement in Online Faculty.

In this study, the researchers investigated the relationships between character strengths and ethical engagement in online faculty. One of the ethical duties for higher education faculty is to engage in effective teaching practices. As online higher education becomes increasingly popular, online faculty also bear this duty. Numerous studies have shown that character strengths cultivate ethical behavior. Hence, we sought to determine the relationship between character strengths and ethical engagement in online faculty. Specifically, we focused on intellectual character strengths, interpersonal character strengths, and emotional character strengths because of their relevance to online faculty’s teaching practices. Through correlational analyses, we learned that interpersonal and emotional character strengths were positively and moderately related to ethical engagement, whereas intellectual character strengths were weakly related to ethical engagement. The findings of this study provide insight into online faculty’s character strengths and ethical engagement. However, further research is needed to understand the role of character strengths and ethical engagement in promoting effective teaching practices in online higher education classrooms.

‘Varieties of Skeptical Invariantism I & II’

AbstractI review proposed skepticisms in recent literature (or skeptical invariantisms, if we understand skepticism semantically), contrast their basic commitments and highlight some of their comparative theoretical attractions and problems. To help set the scene for the discussion, I start with Unger’s (1975) modern classic of global skepticism about knowledge (and justification). I then distinguish three extant categories of skepticism in the recent literature: two non‐traditional and one more traditional. On the non‐traditional side are fallibilist science‐based skepticism (which relaxes the stringency of the standard of knowledge) and practical skepticism (which questions the intellectual character of the standard of knowledge) and on the traditional side high‐standard/infallibilist. I then briefly present and discuss representatives of each category.

THE (VIRTUE) EPISTEMOLOGY OF POLITICAL IGNORANCE

Abstract One typical aim of responsibilist virtue epistemology is to employ the notion of intellectual virtue in pursuit of an ameliorative epistemology. This paper focuses on “political inquiry” as a case study for examining the ameliorative value of intellectual virtue. The main claim is that the case of political inquiry threatens to expose responsibilist virtue epistemology in a general way as focusing too narrowly on the role of individual intellectual character traits in attempting to improve our epistemic practices.

Individual Features of the Convict’s Personality (Results of a Psychological Research)

Introduction: the article presents a study conducted by means of a questionnaire survey among convicts in the Varna prison. The legal status of convicts affects their psychological and behavioral features. When studying the process of forming certain personal qualities in a criminal, we find it necessary to trace the interaction between society and personality. In particular, it is necessary to identify the negative impact of isolation on the convict’s personality in order to work on their reformation. When working with a convicted person, it is necessary to take into account such features of their personality as orientation, abilities, and age characteristics. Such people are alienated from society and its values and have a negative self-image. The present paper focuses on the moral attitudes and knowledge of convicts and on the use of their potential and desire for personal change. In this process, a comprehensive set of intellectual and volitional qualities is formed, in which self-esteem is an important factor that determines behavior and individual features. The aim of our research is to study the level of aggression in convicts and its manifestations under the conditions of isolation; we also try to work out measures to minimize the impact of places of deprivation of liberty on an individual and their relations with others. Methods: we use the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory that measures aggression, and a questionnaire that helps to interview people whose behavior is of interest to researchers. Such questionnaires are designed to assess an individual’s features in specific situations and allow us to ask questions directly. They are relatively straight and do not require complex electronic equipment. The studies confirm the thesis that the closeness of the convicts’ stay in isolation conditions generates negative feelings, which, under specific conditions, can transform into aggressive behavior. Results: summarizing the results for aggressive manifestations of convicts’ personality traits and the corresponding methods of working with convicts allow the researcher to obtain information for solving the target task. We believe that these methods can serve as a basis for building a program for psychological correction of the behavior of an individual kept in isolation. Keywords: Personality; isolation; aggression; communication; self-knowledge

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CRIMES PRE-TRIAL INVESTIGATION

The article is devoted to the problem of a psychological component of crimes pre-trial investigation. The factors of negative impact of circumstances and consequences of illegal actions on the psyche of participants of criminal
 proceedings are considered. The need to use knowledge of psychological phenomena and processes in the course of crime investigation by investigators is substantiated.
 The activities of investigator are characterized by significant emotional intensity. Taking into account full complexity of investigative activities encompassing a variety of interpersonal interactions, special attention is paid to the issue of psychological training of law enforcement agencies. Long-term perception of antisocial phenomena and communication with representatives of different social classes under conditions of time pressure and strict procedural regulation by investigator can result in increased mental stress in investigator and, as a result, in professional deformation. The investigator, being under the influence of negative emotions, must be able to maintain emotional stability. In this regard, the intellectual, volitional and communicative personal qualities of an investigator are particularly important. Keeping in touch with other participants of criminal proceedings, an investigator must maintain rationalism and composure, avoid formalism and bias. The purpose of such communication is to obtain information contributing to the establishment of truth on a specific criminal proceeding. The main task of an investigator in this process is to establish psychological contact with the use of psychological influence methods.

Соціальні мережі як культурно‑просвітницький ресурс

Автором статті виявлені сутність і потенціал віртуальних соціальних мереж як культурно-просвітницького ресурсу. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на застосуванні загальнонаукових методів системного аналізу (аналіз, синтез, проблематизація, абстрагування), теорії соціальних мереж; метод логічної реконструкції використовувався при з’ясуванні сутності основних властивостей соціальних мереж та їх функціонування в сучасності.Наукова новизна дослідження полягає в осмисленні соціальних мереж в новому контексті: не лише як інформаційного поля, на якому здійснюються процеси самопрезентації та самоідентифікації користувача і формується його Я-Образ, а й як культурно-просвітницького ресурсу, дієвого інструменту для виховання студентської молоді, коригування її ціннісних орієнтацій, розвитку самосвідомості і професійного самовдосконалення.Звернено увагу на специфічні культуру та активність у віртуальних соціальних мережах, які впливають на людину не менше, ніж соціальні мережі в житті. Наголошено, що, крім виконання комунікативної функції і володіння великим набором інструментів для самопрезентації особистості, отримання визнання і поваги, віртуальні соціальні мережі придатні й для реалізації культурних і культурно-просвітницьких проєктів. Успіх останніх залежить від глибокого й якісного моніторингу запитів і цінностей студентів, їхнього внутрішнього світу, кола інтересів, світоглядної позиції тощо.Впровадження у виховну роботу культурно-просвітницьких ресурсів, збагачених духовно-моральним змістом, покликані орієнтувати студентство на користування ресурсами мережі, що відповідають потребам і запитам високоосвіченої шляхетної людини. Це має стати початковим етапом у відмові від ресурсів, які пропагують шкідливі звички, жорстокість, несмак і нівелюють загальнолюдські духовні цінності. Висловлене сподівання, що надалі розвиток віртуальних соціальних мереж піде шляхом зростання інтенсивності інтелектуальної взаємодії, з’являться нові соціальні та культурні якості спільнот і вони стануть універсальною формою для одночасного вирішення всіх напрямків виховної та культурно-просвітницької роботи.

Professional Training of Primary School Teacher to Organize Dialogic Learning for Students: Theoretical Context

The urgency of the problem of future primary school teacher training for dialogic learning of students taking into account modern challenges of globalization and digitalization of education is substantiated. The contradictions taking place in the practice of professional training in pedagogical universities are emphasized. The theoretical aspect of the outlined problem is highlighted. The characteristics of the content of the following concepts are given: dialogic learning, educational dialogue, dialogic communication, pedagogical communication, the teacher’s communication culture, communication etiquette, etc. The components of teachers’ pedagogical skills as personal and professional factors of successful organization of dialogic learning in school are presented. It is proved that the organization of dialogic learning at school requires the formation of a teacher's system of skills, namely: to organize and manage the dialogic process in learning; create a positive communicative atmosphere for the exchange of thoughts and ideas; pedagogically expedient to stimulate communication between students; apply advanced dialogic learning technologies; motivate students to create or solve educational tasks using productive dialogue; effectively use means of verbal and nonverbal communication; make emotional contact and listen to the interlocutor, etc. The strategy of communicative approach in the educational process of the pedagogical university is widespread, first of all as for humanities.

Nosodes and Their Indications in Homoeopathy

In homoeopathy, the choice of remedy is based on a consideration of the totality of an individual's symptoms and circumstances, including personality, behaviours, fears, responses to the physical environment, food preferences and so on. Dr. Hahnemann gives a fair idea on the importance of the constitution in Aphorism 5 of Organon of Medicine, wherein he sates “Useful to the physician in assisting him to cure are the particulars of the most probable exciting cause of the acute disease, as also the most significant points in the whole history of the chronic disease, to enable him to discover its fundamental cause, which is generally due to a chronic Miasms. In these investigations, the ascertainable physical constitution of the patient (and intellectual character, his occupation, mode of living and habits, his social and domestic relations, his age, sexual function, etc., are to be taken into consideration. He mainly refers constitution to the inherent in the natural frame, or inherent nature of the individual. Hahnemann reviewed the use of miasms as homoeopathic remedies and pointed out that what Hering was suggesting was not the same old isopathic methods because the material used was potentised by the homoeopathic technique and given in minimal dose. This changes an ordinary isopathic substance into a homoeopathic remedy if used properly.
