General Fieldorf „Nil” as a personal model in upbringing towards maturity

The outbreak of war between Ukraine and Russia motivates us to consider how to preserve dignity in situations where life is under threat. Such a question is particularly relevant in the context of the war’s proximity to Poland, a bordering nation to both Russia and Ukraine.
 War means human tragedies, so it becomes important to have behavioural models for extremely dramatic situations. It is worth being reminded of heroes who had stayed true to their ideals even in the face of death. August Emil Fieldorf „Nil”, a leader in the Polish anti-Nazi resistance movement, was one such hero as he had been killed by the Soviet regime’s collaborators after WWII.
 The General was a Polish patriot who sacrificed his life for his homeland. What is most striking in his biography is his heroism. This qualifies him as a perfect personality model in upbringing towards higher values.
 In this paper it has been shown that General August Emil Fieldorf, an Indomitable Soldier, is a mature personal model, which can motivate the young generation to follow him. Maturity has been defined with a personality approach according to Zdzisław Chlewiński (1991), using the three following criteria: considering a man as a person, autonomy in thinking, ability to asses own motivations.
 It has been analysed how to motivate the youths to follow the General regarding the maturity. It has been demonstrated that the General’s example may motivate if one of the three following upbringing strategies is used: dissonance, witnessing, stimulation.
 The author has used Fieldorf’s biographies. It has been emphasized that the process of forming his personality had been very dynamic and lasted his whole life. The author claims that the Chlewiński’s concept my be used to select the next mature personal models.

The Concept of a Noble and a Perfect Person in Religious Philosophy

The formation of a noble and perfect person is the basis of social development. The ideas of nobility and perfection have evolved historically alongside human development. In the era of modern global processes and the fall of values, the concept of a noble and perfect person in religious philosophy does not lose its relevance. This article’s goal is to make clear the significance and essential characteristics of a noble and perfect person in religious philosophy. This article is based on the findings of numerous scientists who have investigated the issues raised by these concepts. The significance of comprehending the idea of a noble and perfect person from a theoretical standpoint is discussed in the article. We shall address each of these subjects in turn. First of all, we define the characteristics of a noble person and the role of Confucianism in defining the concept. The study revealed that a noble person should be an independent, moral, and unique individual. The primary features of a perfect person are then defined. It has been established that the perfect person is exemplary and distinguishable by ideality. Comparative analysis was used to study the scientific literature and produce the results. A descriptive approach was used to emphasize content analysis as well as systemic and historical research techniques. The article’s authors got to the conclusion that there are differences between what is meant by a noble person and what is meant by a perfect person. Key words: noble person, perfect person, being, humanity, Sufism.

The Concept of Perfection in Lev Karsavin’s Religious Metaphysics

ABSTRACT This article examines the concept of the perfect, a key idea in Lev P. Karsavin’s metaphysics that largely determines his understanding of personhood and its ontological status. The associated concept of the perfect person develops throughout the entire philosophical period of the thinker’s work, from his Philosophy of History to his treatise “On Perfection,” written in the last year of his life in the Abez’ camps. In this article, I argue that the concept of perfection is the main structural element in Karsavin’s religious–philosophical system, making it ontologically full and complete. I believe the Christian idea of the perfection of man in God, philosophical variations of which Karsavin finds in Nicholas of Cusa’s system of total unity and Vladimir Solovyov’s idea of Godmanhood, is both the initial intellectual intuition and the ontological premise of the thinker’s metaphysical constructions. His religious–philosophical work has a continuity with Russian culture’s spiritual tradition, where patristic thought of man considers the ideal to be the spiritual transcendence of the person in his striving toward the Perfect God. This evangelic idea turns out to be the central binding element both of Karsavin’s Christian personology and of his metaphysics of history, which is resolved in a metaphysical vein.

Перфекционистская самопрезентация и альтруистические установки в период взрослости

The problem of effective tactics of personal self-presentation in various situations of social interaction is becoming increasingly important. The phenomenon of perfectionism as a person's desire for perfection, exceptional achievements and admiration from others, is becoming increasingly common both in professional and personal spheres. Objective: to identify the relationship between perfectionist self-presentation and altruistic attitudes in different periods of adulthood. It is hypothesized that there is gender and age characteristics and the interrelationships of perfectionist self-presentation and altruistic attitudes during adulthood. The study sample consisted of 90 respondents (men and women) aged 20 to 75 years (Minsk). Three periods of adulthood were compared: early (20-40 years), middle (40-60 years) and late (over 60 years). To diagnose perfectionist self-presentation, the Russian–language version of P. Hewitt's Perfectionist Self-Presentation Scale was used (adaptation by A. A. Zolotareva); to determine the manifestation of altruistic atti tudes, the methodology for diagnosing socio-psychological attitudes of the individual (O. F. Potemkin) was used. The authors obtained the data on gender and age characteristics and interrelations of perfectionist self-presentation and altruistic attitudes during adulthood. Through altruistic actions, men strive to create an image of a perfect person, demonstrate socially desirable behavior (altruism as a secondary benefit and a tool for self-promotion). With age, the level of perfectionist self-presentation decreases, and the manifestation of altruistic attitudes increases, reaching its peak in late adulthood. Empirically, the authors proved the existence of a relationship between perfectionist self-presentation and altruistic attitudes during late adulthood (the willingness to act for the benefit of others, to patronize people who suffer or experience difficulties, is associated with the desire to receive admiration and approval from others). Interpersonal interaction is shown to be regulated by empathy as well as by image and reputation goals, and altruism is one of the tactics of impression management. Taking care of one's reputation, public opinion, and image are important reasons for benevolence and prosocial behavior.

This article analyzes the ways of achieving science and knowledge based on the works of the great Kazakh poet Abay Kunanbayuly and reveals that the poet is a philosopher who perfectly possessed knowledge and science and spread knowledge and science to his native land. Abay Kunanbayuly stressed that science and knowledge should not just be literate, but set a specific goal for him and outlined two main goals in the study of knowledge and science. One of them is that the basic concept of Abay's works is necessary in order to be a "perfect person", the other is to serve the independence of the Kazakhs through knowledge and science. The conclusions concerning science and education presented in the works of Abay Kunanbayuly are studied in comparison with the fact that at present issues that were not included in the agenda remain relevant. In the works of Abay Kunanbayuly, a thesaurus analysis of words related to education and science is carried out, statistical data on their meanings and frequency of use are given. In conclusion, it should be noted that the issues of knowledge and science occupy a special place in the works of Abay Kunanbayuly, which reflect national identity, world, life, life, worldview, character, soul, religion, mentality, language, spirit.

Sources of Abai’s «Perfect Man» Concept

This article examines Abai's concept about the Perfect Man. Thoughts about the perfect person, which have been formed over the centuries and accumulated in the national consciousness, emphasize the importance of educating a new generation of people in modern society. Concepts based on universal values and transformed into a national code were reflected in the works of thinkers of antiquity and the Middle Ages, and later became a new feature in Abai's work. Abai's Perfect Man is a person who loves the God, respects a person, glorifies human qualities, knows the difference between good and evil, loves generosity, listens to the voice of his heart, stands for justice, avoids lies, hardworking, patriotic and mature. The researchers say maturity is the charity of the people living in the community. Charity is expressed in virtue, politeness, kindness, compassion, and fairness. In the works of Abai and Aristotle, Al-Farabi, Yusuf Balasaguni and Akhmet Iugneki, good people are described as conscious people who prioritize the states interests, are not indifferent to human fate, know the truth and able to think and make the right decisions. Topical issues of anthropocentrism – the discovery of the essence of a holistic model of a person, the search for the depth of the worldview of a mature person in the spiritual heritage of different periods, their connection with the nature of the ethnos, the artistic world, worldview. Figurative words and phraseological units and proverbs, aphorisms that create the image of a Perfect Man are valued as a motivation and a form of modeling. The values of Abai's worldview are considered in connection with the conscious actions of a mature person, and historical sources are taken for their sources. The historical heritage includes ancient Turkic monuments, medieval Turkic heritage and the thoughts of poets and the words of orators.

Influence of translated works of the XVIII century on family education in Russia

Introduction. The XVIII century is an important stage in the history of the development of Russian pedagogy, when a new type of pedagogical thinking was created under the influence of the ideas of enlightenment and humanism that came to Russia from Europe. An important role in this process was played by translated Western European works, which were actively studied by representatives of the nobility. It was these writings that significantly influenced the formation of new ideas about the process of raising children in families of the noble estate.Materials and Methods. When writing the work, the following methods were used: the method of logical analysis of general scientific literature and primary sources, system-structural analysis, methods of generalization and systematization, the method of comparative historical analysis, the method of interpretation and semantic reconstruction of historical and pedagogical sources.Results. The paper analyzed 19 translated Western European works created in the XVIII century, addressed both to the issues of raising children in the family, and to young readers and their mentors to improve the process of social and home education. In the works of the authors, educational ideas were expressed that corresponded to the ideas of the need for humanistic enlightened mentoring in relation to children in the family.Discussion and Conclusions. Translated Western European pedagogical works of the XVIII century proclaimed the following principles of family education: they affirmed the need to organize child-parent interaction on the basis of humanism and faith in the success of the educational influence of parents on the child's personality; they understood education as a sure means not only to create a perfect child's personality, but also to achieve perfection and happiness on earth on this basis by mankind; they pointed out the need for a harmonious combination of different types of education; justified the idea of the need to create the same conditions for the upbringing of girls and boys in the family, respect for the personality of a growing person.

İlhami Emin’in Yürüyen Duvar’ında Yörüklerin Yaşam Biçimi Olarak Melamilik ve Bektaşilik

The modern narrative genres, which began to be seen with the Tanzimat Period, are manifested in literature produced by Macedonian Turks after World War II. Political developments in the region have been instrumental in this. Afterwards, it can be said that literature in the region is based on poetry and story. The novel, on the other hand, is very backward. The Walking Wall was published in 2008 with the claim of “the first Yörük [nomad]Turkish novel written and published in Turkish in the Balkans”. The appearance of mystical understandings in Islam corresponds to about a century after the death of the Prophet Muhammad. Traces of Malāmatism have been possible since the 9th century. The fact that the Islamization of Turks coincided with the same periods was instrumental in shaping the Turkish conception of ṣūfīs on Malāmatism. The perception of Turkish Muslims was largely encoded in this way and cultural internalization took place. Bektashism is one of the most mystical understandings originating from Central Asia, which is trying to reach the “perfect person” based on waḥdat al-wujūd, Malāmatism and Bektashism have a significant impact on the Islamic life of the people. It is seen that ṣūfīs or related figures are also involved in the fiction of the Turkish novel under the influence of postmodernism. In particular, Mawlawism and his important characters can be remembered as examples. It is also noteworthy that Malāmatism and Bektashism shape the elements of novels in The Walking Wall. The aim of the research is to reveal how these structures, a way of life, are reflected in the novel. For this purpose, content analysis technique was used from qualitative research methods. The name of the novel, the cover, its consistence from twelve chapters and violation of spelling rules can be seen as a reflection of Bektashism and Malāmatism on the external structure of the novel. This situation occurs in two ways in the content. The first is the historical narrative and the biographical narrative that parallels it. The leading names of these religious understandings and other names that the author indirectly associates with these understandings (Hacı Bektaş-i Veli, Muhammad Nūru’l Arabī, Kaygusuz Abdal, Pir Sultan Abdal, Yunus Emre, Mevlana) have an important place in the narrative. The fact that these personalities have religious aspects as well as literary aspects increases inter-texting in the novel. 

ABAI'S DOCTRINE ABOUT THE PERFECT MAN IS A HUGE CONTRIBUTION TO THE SCIENCE OF ABAI STUDIES BY M.MYRZAKHMETULY

A comprehensive and broad study of Abay's work begins with the research of M. Auezov. The essence of the poet's thoughts about man, about life and time is morality. If M. Auezov identified this problem, then M. Myrzakhmetuly found the system and essence of moral knowledge in the poet's work. The advantage and property of human nature lies in its reason and the meaning of human life is knowledge. And the role of the categories of essence and phenomena in the process of cognition is enormous. The category and knowledge of the perfect man of Abai, introduced into scientific circulation by M. Myrzakhmetuly, is the phenomenon of moral teaching in the work of Abai. If the owner of “Hot energy (ystyk kayrat), radiant mind (nұrly ақyl), hot heart (zhyly zhurek)” is a perfect person, then the moral world of this perfect person is revealed by the teachings of zhauanmartlik (the basis of morality) and imani gul (the essence of morality), certain by M. Myrzakhmetuly. The nature of a person is formed by the body (strength), soul (heart), mind, and his unique, sacred morality is formed by qualities emanating from the mind and heart. That is, true morality is achieved through zhauanmartlik, which includes the qualities of intelligence, justice and mercy. And the highest peak of this moral quality is imani gul - three loves. And the three loves in the works of Abai are love for God, for man and justice. The doctrine of the perfect man is an external phenomenon of the moral teaching sung by Abay, and love (three loves) is its inner essence and core. The article describes the system and deep content of the moral teachings of Abay, which were studied and identified by M. Myrzakhmetuly.

The Concept of "Perfect Man" and its axiological meaning

The article discusses the concept of "Perfect Man", which has recently been revived in Kazakhstani society. The idea of ​​a perfect man, which originated with such Muslim thinkers as Ibn Arabi, occupies a special place in the teachings of Sufism and existed in the Kazakh steppes before Abai. The definitions of the concept of a perfect person by Muslim thinkers, the features of various aspects of this concept, the meaning in Sufism, the importance of revealing the general axiological value are given. To what extent can the concept of the “Perfect Man” contribute to the prevention of such problems of modern society as the loss of human qualities, religious intolerance, the loss of spiritual and moral values, human degradation, and so on? Along with the answer to this question, the image of a person deprived of humanity is considered, as well as the image of a spiritually filled person, their significance for society. Saying that the "Perfect Man" leads the world and society in the right direction, also condemns bad habits among people, but rather promotes order in the life of every person. Here, issues related to the formation of a new life were discussed in detail, thereby focusing on the background of a good knowledge of objects and phenomena. The task of a perfect person is to delve into the phenomena of the universe, to form life skills based on truth. Key words: Perfect Man, Ibn Arabi, tasawwuf, Muslim thinkers, Islam

Жыраулар поэтикасындағы «шынайы адам» концептісі

Zhyrau are Akyns – storytellers of a special art who create and disseminate the oral poetic creations of the people. The oral epic tradition existed in ancient Greece, Arabia, among the Turkic peoples and until the 40-50s of the XX century – in Albania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Macedonia. The main feature of the Zhyrau poetic tradition is that the legends are passed down from generation to generation orally rather than in writing. The worldview in Zhyrau poetry is determined by universal human values such as life and death, joy and sorrow, homeland, which are revealed in the conceptual intentions of the national consciousness, namely the concepts of a perfect human being, the creation of the world and the fatherland.The article is devoted to the understanding of Sufism in the work of Kazakh zhyrau, especially the numerous zhyrau of Western Kazakhstan. The authors note that in the study of Sufism there are still no systematic studies that show the role of Sufism in the spiritual and moral development of a person, his cultural and intellectual development. Among the European scholars to whom the authors refer, there are contradictory opinions about the main postulates of Sufism.The authors state that the concept of ‘kamili insan’, a perfect person, is one of the main purposes of the teachings of Sufism, the attainment of full human individuality through spiritual purification, asceticism and a person’s rejection of material values. In addition, other important terms of Sufism such as zіkіr, pіkіr etu, shukіr etu, taubaga kelu, taglym, and iman are subjected to philosophical, theological, historical, cultural and semantic analysis in the article. Poetic texts of zhyrau-akyns served as illustrative material for this analysis.

The problem of the perfect man as a problem of a sustainable society in a globalized world

Summary. The purpose of this article is to refer to the origins of Eastern, more precisely, Chinese anthropology, which formed the image of a perfect person, and to substantiate the relevance of the implementation of this image in the contemporary European mass consciousness, which is in crisis due to the ideological vacuum regarding patterns of behavior and means of life. Methodology. It is productive to apply the methods of historical-philosophical analysis and the philosophical-anthropological approach to the possibility of analyzing and investigating the problem of human self-improvement, its motives and the cultural background that contributes to this phenomenon. Scientific novelty. The article examines the realities of the crisis of industrial man, which came about due to the devaluation of the idea of Man and the ideal of man in the New Age, which actualizes today the appeal to the anthropological developments of ancient Chinese philosophical thought, which preserved the image of a perfect man and defined the main criteria for his identification. It is possible to form the image of a perfect person of our era only on the basis of similar images of previous eras, therefore, turning to Eastern wisdom contributes to the philosophical understanding of the reconstruction of the ideal of a person, understood and accepted by the mass consciousness. The proposed model of an ideal person is a step on the way to building applied philosophical and anthropological knowledge about the self-development of a person in the conditions set by the crisis. Conclusions. The first thing that catches your eye when you get acquainted with the concept of an ideal person in ancient Chinese treatises is the understanding of the phenomenon of selfimprovement as a condition for spiritual development. The second point, which I would also like to note, is the understanding of spiritual development through the improvement of moral consciousness, which is possible as a result of the painstaking work of an individual on his character traits. A condition or motivation for self-improvement is certain human abilities, the main of which is the ability to change or transform. In this context, the meaning of the well-known pair of opposites: good and evil is revealed. Goodness is the ability to renew, the highest form of creativity; evil – backwardness, inhibition, inability to update. And this is the third point, which I also wanted to pay attention to. Two geniuses of Chinese philosophical thought – Lao Tzu and Confucius – developed the concept of a perfect person, identical in terms of goals, but different in the ways of achieving them. So, a modern person who has the ability and motivation to change can choose one of the options offered by Chinese anthropology and psychology. To achieve career growth and material well-being, the concept of Confucius, so popular in modern China, is suitable. Well, if a person seeks profound metamorphosis, then the experience of the Taoists, popular among supporters of positive psychology, will be useful to him.

ГЕРОИЗАЦИЯ ПОДВИГА МОЛОДОГВАРДЕЙЦЕВ В СЦЕНИЧЕСКОЙ ПРАКТИКЕ ЛУГАНСКИХ ТЕАТРОВ КАК ПРОЯВЛЕНИЕ ИСТОРИЧЕСКОЙ САМОИДЕНТИФИКАЦИИ РЕГИОНА

In the world philosophical and aesthetic tradition, the idea of a hero as a spiritually and physically perfect person who, performing a feat, becomes the personification of worthy behavior has been formed. In a feat, the inner strength, strongwilled and moral qualities of the individual, the ability to rise above the ordinary, to destroy the boundaries of the possible are most clearly manifested. An analysis of the historiography of Lugansk theaters allows us to state that the ideological context of the time determined the repeated appeal of Lugansk theaters in the Soviet period of their formation to the heroic theme. The historical self-identification of the region led Lugansk directors to turn to the historical events that took place in the Lugansk region during the Civil War, the Great Patriotic War. The article examines the problem of the heroic personality of the Young Guard through the prism of director's work, which is a category of feat, which is determined by a set of personal properties. The study provides an analysis of the creative practice of Lugansk theaters of the 20th century. and modernity from the standpoint of understanding the feat of the Young Guard. It is noted that the historical self-identification of the region led the Lugansk directors to turn to the historical events that took place in the Lugansk region during the Great Patriotic War, as a result of which the performances "The Young Guard", feat of the youth.

Patriotic upbringing in the ethnocultural heritage of the Kazakh people

Folk pedagogy is the centuries-old experience of the people in the field of education, training, adaptation and upbringing. In our opinion, public education is a historically developed system of educational influence of a particular nation on a person, including a child. In this system, the life and essence of people are in integrity. The desire to preserve and develop the foundations of ethnic and cultural identity, such as language, customs, religious beliefs, history, is an essential manifestation of the globalization process. After all, the basis of education is noble spiritual values that have been formed over the centuries of traditions. And the unshakable rules and principles that are passed down from generation to generation from the point of view of high dignity and spirituality strengthen and educate human morality. Ethno-cultural heritage is the golden pillar of human life. The basis of the ethno-cultural heritage does not exclude universal spiritual values, but harmonizes with them. They enrich and enrich each other. Therefore, a person deeply rooted in ethnoculture is a person spiritually rich. Such a person is more inclined to assimilate cultural and spiritual values from a universal point of view and is characterized by the status of a full-fledged and perfect person.

К вопросу о структуре правового идеала в современных условиях

The purpose of this work is to analyze the ideas in the modern socio-humanitarian scientific literature about the structure of the legal ideal. In the course of the study, it was revealed that the legal ideal is mainly considered in the system of axiological culture. The authors propose to structure the legal ideal on the basis of the dialectic of the components of managerial activity. This approach allows us to see that the legal ideal is a dialectical unity of a legal subject, object, means, goals, result, etc. in the system of managerial activity. The desire of mankind to build an ideal society and state on the basis of the legal ideal is a consequence of the movement of man himself towards the ideal. However, real life shows that what is desired is at odds with reality. This discrepancy is natural, but it is measurable and predictable. The digital society poses serious obstacles and problems in the movement of a person to perfection, distorting the very meaning of the concept of “perfect person”. In order to anticipate possible negative distortions of the concept of a legal ideal, it is necessary to conduct systematic studies of its nature and patterns of development, which gives an idea of its structure.

The Idea of the Perfect Person in the Views of Middle Eastern Thinkers

In the works of medieval oriental thinkers Abu Nasr Farobi, Alisher Navoi, Mahmud Asad Joshon, Boyazid Bistomi, Ibn al-Arabi, Aziziddin Muhammad Nasafi, Abdukadir Jili, Abdulkadir Gilloni, Hazrat Alikulov, Ibrahdandura Ibrahdultansky People have dreamed for centuries to raise the perfect person. Representations and ideas about him in different periods were interpreted in different ways. The evolution and improvement of the idea of ​​perfection depended on the nature of the system, the level of production, the method of government, the development of science and culture.
