What Makes a True Human with the Development of Technology: Subjectivity in Klara and the Sun under the Perspective of Levinas’ Ethics of Responsibility

Set in a future where genetic technology and artificial intelligence are highly advanced, Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2021 work Klara and the Sun is a novel that draws on the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence to consider human nature. Not coincidentally, the modern French philosopher Levinas argues that human nature, or subjectivity, is about being responsible for the Other. This paper applies Levinas's ethics of responsibility to analyse the human nature in Klara and the Sun, and finds that as the artificial intelligence, Klara is born to be responsible for human beings. In the meantime, Josie's weak face makes it impossible for Klara to neglect it, so she can only dedicate herself continuously until she sacrifices herself to achieve “substitution”. In the process of taking Josie's place to bear suffering, Klara continues to devote herself, and ultimately truly realizes her own subjectivity. In the course of taking responsibility for Josie, Klara is also helped by Rickk and Josie’s father, thus becoming a beneficiary of the human nature of “taking responsibility for others”. Levinas's extreme vision of the nature of human beings is highly compatible with Kazuo Ishiguro's construction of a perfect society, which is a revelation for the human society in the midst of technological advancement.

The importance of teaching self-control to adolescents in the age of artificial intelligence

The technological society has reconfigured the current environment, generating new needs and changing the motivations of contemporary humans. In this context, self-control is one of the essential abilities that can contribute to an active adaptation, on one hand, and to the development of psychological resilience to the speed at which technological evolution influences life, on the other. Starting from a brief presentation of both the ideological roots of conceptions about the perfect society, as well as the scientific sources of artificial intelligence, the article addresses the theme of education adapted to the new trends of technologizing the personal, professional, and social environment and emphasizes the necessity for the educational environment (family, school, civil society) to synergistically contribute to the optimization of self-control in order to form a younger generation that is self-aware and active in the process of making informed decisions.

Recoding Utopian Fellowship in 20th Century Bengal: An Interpretation from the perspective of Socio-Economic Study

The concept of Utopia, originally proposed by Thomas More in 1516, describes an ideal, perfect society. In the 20th century, this idea has been applied to Bengal's social economy, including cooperatives, mutuals, associations, foundations, social enterprises, and paritarian institutions that share common values. Despite political turmoil affecting Bengal since the late 1980s, exploring the Utopian notion can help analyze and develop specific branches of Bengal's socio-economy. This approach may provide a foundation for future progress, potentially establishing a successful social economy in Bengal that, while not perfect, aligns with Utopian principles. Can these sectors effectively embody Utopian ideals in shaping Bengal's socio-economic landscape?

Identity Annihilation in Ann Bradstreet’s Poetry

A ‘City upon a Hill’ has always been the phrase which depicted the ideal and the perfect society the puritans sought to establish in Massachusetts, yet there can be several discrepancies noticed within their social and intellectual life and the way they dealt with the female intellectuals and poets. The current study tackles the way puritan patriarchal society marginalizes female writers and intellectuals, such as Ann Bradstreet, in a way that demolishes their identities. It also aims to depict these female intellectuals as breakers of the social norms in challenging the Puritan spiritual authority and its social system, so their writings were not valuable, and their voices were not heard. More significantly, the study shows how the social/religious conventions created within the puritan were used as a weapon against female writers. Thus, for puritans, the idea of women being writers or poets was not acceptable.

Theoretical foundations of utopian and dystopian parables in world literature

What does the future hold for us? Which path will humanity take? Perhaps people will finally learn from the mistakes of past generations and build a perfect society? Or they will choose a disastrous path, making the life of an individual absolutely unbearable? Science fiction writers have repeatedly tried to find answers… Science fiction is dedicated to the two opposites of the development of civilization. When people talk about fiction of the early twentieth century, they usually mean so-called “science fiction.” The first works of fantastic literature of new varieties began to appear at the end of the 19th century, and individual works even earlier. In this case we are talking about works that combine a literary plot with scientific fragments; at the same time, the work as a whole acquires a journalistic character. At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, due to extra-literary factors, this form became extremely popular. Its development is influenced by the rapid growth of scientific, or more precisely, technical research, and the powerful introduction of technology into human life.

THE QUEST FOR UTOPIA IN BLACK THEATRE: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF NGUGI WA THING’O’S THE BLACK HERMIT

Utopia, the idea of a perfect society, has been a central theme in literature, philosophy, and art for centuries. The desire for utopia has inspired countless visionaries and reformers, who have sought to create a better world through various means, such as religion, ideology, science, or art. However, utopia has also been criticized and ridiculed as an impossible or even dangerous dream, that distracts us from the reality of our imperfect and flawed world.
 Ngugi Wa Thing’o, a prominent Kenyan writer and activist, has addressed the theme of utopia in many of his works, including his play The Black Hermit. Written in the 1960s, at a time of great political and cultural upheaval in Africa and beyond, The Black Hermit offers a complex and nuanced exploration of the quest for utopia in the context of black theatre. Through the character of the Black Hermit, a revolutionary who withdraws from the world to live in solitude, Ngugi raises questions about the nature and meaning of utopia, and its relationship to the struggles and aspirations of black people.
 The aim of this research is to deepen our understanding of Ngugi's work and thought by analysing The Black Hermit as a text that engages with the theme of utopia in a creative and thought-provoking way. It also examines how Ngugi uses the play to critique and challenge various utopia-building projects, and to propose his own vision of utopia as a process of becoming. The research also considers the relevance and significance of Ngugi's utopia to the contemporary world and the ways in which it speaks to universal human concerns.

Research on the Work of the Age of Renaissance

The main research will focus on the works of the Renaissance and the thoughts of the Humanists. In this work, we will have the discussion of the definition of the perfect society and human qualities in the age of the renaissance, and we will select some works from William Shakespeare and Dante Alighieri and try to find their expectations of the new society and their idea about what quality a man should have. Meanwhile, the research will also quote the words from other works of the age of the Renaissance, and some folktales will also be discussed to analyze the citizens' attitude towards society. At the end of the paper, Hedonism and Asceticism will also be discussed. The main tools that will be used in this research will be book manuscripts and historical and sociological analysis. This study will be mainly based on the original text of the authors book. This work will interpret my thoughts through these masterpieces, and we will have a conclusion of what is the perfect society in their eyes. They also discuss whether their ideas have any real-world implications. (Some of the ideas in the following article have not been fully demonstrated.

The dystopian elements of government in Orwell's Novel 1984

The paper focuses on the dystopian elements of government as depicted in Orwell’s novel 1984. Generally, dystopia appears in the abuse of power, manipulation, exploitation, and injustice in man's attempt to achieve a perfect society. This paper deals with how dystopian literature depicts the flaws of those seemingly utopian societies in Orwell's 1984. It shows how people fall victim to the dystopian government policy and its games, exposing peoples’ lives to danger and even death. In brief, it shows the slow decay of life and self as reflected in dystopian literature which portrays a frightening vision of a revolutionary world, generally controlled by knowledge and a dictatorial ruling government that uses any possible means to utilize iron-handed power over its people; this is done through the discussion of how Orwell depicted the elements of dystopian government like family and sex, repression, religion, control of information, society, psychological manipulation, and technology in his novel.

Primary care professionals' views on population-based expanded carrier screening: an online focus group study.

Population-based expanded carrier screening (ECS) involves screening for multiple recessive diseases offered to all couples considering a pregnancy or during pregnancy. Previous research indicates that in some countries primary care professionals are perceived as suitable providers for ECS. However, little is known about their perspectives. We therefore aimed to explore primary care professionals' views on population-based ECS. Four online focus groups with 14 general practitioners (GPs) and 16 community midwives were conducted in the Netherlands. Our findings highlight various perspectives on the desirability of population-based ECS. Participants agreed that ECS could enhance reproductive autonomy and thereby prevent suffering of the child and/or parents. However, they also raised several ethical, societal, and psychological concerns, including a tendency towards a perfect society, stigmatization, unequal access to screening and negative psychosocial consequences. Participants believed that provision of population-based ECS would be feasible if prerequisites regarding training and reimbursement for providers would be fulfilled. most GPs considered themselves less suitable or capable of providing ECS, in contrast to midwives who did consider themselves suitable. Nevertheless, participants believed that, if implemented, ECS should be offered in primary care or by public health services rather than as hospital-based specialized care, because they believed a primary care ECS offer increases access in terms of time and location. While participants believed that an ECS offer would be feasible, they questioned its desirability and priority. Studies on the desirability and feasibility of population-based ECS offered in primary care or public health settings are needed.

Pluralism in Future Cities of Kazakhstan as a Projection of the Idea of Virtuous Society

Public places are significant urban elements that offer a positive impact to the quality life of the citizens. A good city is always receptive, inclusive and meaningful. They are the important ingredients of a successful, benevolent city that helps to build a sense of community, civic identity, culture, and community revitalization. At the same time, it is the very place, which acts as a catalyst in uniting the segregated diverse group of local community while it could also be a platform in engaging with the global community when it acts as a major gathering spot. Due to lack of research done in the area of planning cities in regards to becoming a vital tool in promoting pluralism; tensions and segregations within the communities are being overlooked easily as of only political, religious or social concern.  It can therefore damage the public goods such as liberty, equality or justice, which will result in decelerating the country’s development. There is an urgent need to revive the true essence of people-centered city planning especially in the area of designing cities. In the studies of (i) placemaking, (ii) designing public places emphasizing on inclusive urban management and social planning strategies, (iii) planning cities with more profound reflection on urban segregation, exclusion, social hierarchies, and inequalities; this paper address the need to introduce pluralism in planning future cities of Kazakhstan. Expected findings will become a vital tool in connecting people and generating peace and pluralism for future cities.

Gandhian Concept of Ramrajya to Mythology and Modernism

Throughout Hindu literature, but especially in the Ramayana, an ancient Indian epic, the word Ramrajya is used to represent a utopian society characterised by just and equitable rule. It's a metaphor for a perfect society where everyone is treated fairly and provided for. As a metaphor for a just and peaceful monarchy, Ramrajya is commonly used to refer to a system of government in which the monarch acts justly and fairly toward his people. Throughout history, this idea has served as motivation for a wide range of political and social groups whose leaders sought to create a more just and fair society. One of the most influential figures in India's fight for independence, Mahatma Gandhi, had an outlook that was consistent with the tenets of the Ramrajya theory. Truth, nonviolence, self-sufficiency, and social equality were all central to Gandhi's ideal social order. Every person, in his view, should strive for personal growth and give back to their community. Gandhi's approach to leadership and social relations stressed the significance of spirituality, simplicity, and moral ideals.

1960년대 과학소설의 젠더와 이상사회에 대한 사고실험

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the thought experiment on the gender and utopia in Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin and The Perfect Society by Moon Younsung. Both of these novels were published in the 1960s, sharing the topic: gender and utopia. Even if the authors have different cultural and gender backgrounds, they wrote their works under the social background of the 1960s, when the Cold War and the Freedom movements severely conflicted. Besides, more fundamentally speaking, both of them recognized the function of science fiction: thought experiment. By using thought experiment, Le Guin suggests the possibility of accepting cultural and gender diversity. Moon Younsung criticizes the oppressive contemporary Korean society and asserts human conflicts would not be eradicated without accepting diversity.

Analysis of social theological basics of the Imam Khomeini’s movement concerning social functions of religion

The present research aims to analyze the basics and principles of the social theology of Imam Khomeini’s movement concerning the social functions of religion. This research used a descriptive-analytical method that fell under substantive analysis procedures based on library sources. Surveys have indicated that the basics of Imam Khomeini’s social theology are structured in a comprehensively coherent system consistent with his worldview, ontological and anthropological perspective. This perspective is founded on the Koran and the prophetic tradition against the contemporary materialistic worldview. Imam Khomeini was a prominent Islamic theologian who considered the relationship between religion and society to be closely connected, arguing that all monotheistic religions are tasked with educating man in all dimensions and helping him attain perfection, as this will not be fulfilled unless within a social context. Imam Khomeini believed that Islam as a monotheistic school has a special regard for society, considering human happiness to depend on a happy and perfect society. For this, he regards all Islamic calls, even those that have taken into account personal relations of the public, to be social calls.

Reflections of Dr. B.R Ambedkar’s Idea of Social Justice

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar is revered as a hero for his role in advancing equality. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was an instrumental figure in the formation of our nation's constitution and was one of the principal authors of it. He made it illegal to discriminate against those who were considered to be of a lower caste or to be untouchable, and he worked toward establishing equality among the citizens of our nation. He stated that he had faith in a community that could support the ideals of friendship, equality, and fraternity. However, in the early days of our nation, a man who had done so much for our country had been subjected to numerous cruelties because of his caste. Dr. Bhimrao Babasaheb Ramji Ambedkar was a renegade who challenged the social order in which the contradiction of caste and class had been apparent for years. His egalitarian philosophy was "one man, one value," and it was based on the belief that everyone should be treated equally. Dr. Ambedkar worked hard to change the pre-existing social order based on caste and class, and he strove to plant the seed of social justice. He accomplished this by lobbying for a wide range of causes, including the plight of the caste system and untouchability, human rights, labour rights, women's rights, and, most crucially, Indian politics. Because he was born into a mahar family in the state of Maharashtra, he was subjected to the humiliations and discrimination that came with being an untouchable. According to B. R. Ambedkar, social justice is a method for constructing an ideal society or a society that is just. According to him, a just society is one that does not practise caste, is founded on the ideals of social justice, and incorporates all three of the following elements: liberty, equality, and fraternity. Ambedkar's vision for the perfect society is underpinned by a commitment to a pair of core values. The purpose of the study is to describe and analyse the concept of social justice that was conceived of by B.R. Ambedkar, who was the architect of the Indian constitution.

The moral sphere of the personality and its essential definitions

The issue of morality in modern psychological discourse and life activity of a human, group, society in general is analyzed. The importance of its theoretical rethinking is stated, starting from the ideas of man of ancient thinkers, including Plato, where the ontological marker of a perfect society and a separate person considered authenticity, creation of good, usefulness, expediency, harmony of existence and essence. The essence of man is denied in the idea of simulacra (sophists) as a false copy in imitation, when his ability to live in accordance with the idea of human (good, welfare, reason) is questioned, and society is seen as a set of faceless units (singularity) without personal origin, so are neglected the questions about the ideal of man, the meaning and content of his life. It is concluded that the methodology of modern postmodernism is based on the idea of simulacra, which argues the course of a person’s life process in unconscious and undetermined existential motives, which do not pose the problem of morality. It is believed that a person has the right to always be different, even abnormal, not to obey any norms, rules and standards, not to question the essence and meaning of life, instead it is popularized a man-simulacrum as an indefinite unit, from the array of which arises a faceless broad community, not a human community with life-affirming, sincere and open relationships. It is argued that the substantiation of the fundamental principles of personality’s authentic morality primarily concerns its relationship with God, the Other, with himself, the community, the world, which is manifested in relation to various aspects of social life. At the same time, it was argued the existence of vertical and horizontal dimensions of morality social nature and spiritual content. It is proved that the basis of spiritual morality is the law of effective (unconditional, absolute, equal to all) love for the Other, the liberation of the person from selfishness, the creation of freedom and universal personal responsibility. Instead, a person with social morality constantly has difficulties in realization of his moral attitude to the Other (dependence of attitude on the level of family ties, status closeness, individual characteristics) and problems with motivation for such behavior (non-consideration for the dignity of the Other, his needs for good, freedom, to be individuality). It is noted that in Ukrainian society today prevails morality of social nature and manifestations of personal immorality are common, so cleansing requires a sphere of moral attitude to others, based on the idea of man, the phenomenology of effective love, good and evil, life and death, conscience, justice, as well as respect for the right of the Other and the community to freedom and individuality. The scale of moral and immoral attitude to the Other is characterized, in which three levels are singled out - moral, morally neutral, immoral and its eleven sublevels. The personal mechanisms and problem zones in realization of the person’s moral behavior are analyzed. The channels of its moral improvement in the covital contexts of culture, work, politics, everyday life are highlighted.

THE CONCEPT OF THE R. WAGNER’S GEZAMTKUNSTWERK AS PHILOSOPHICAL AND LITERARY JUSTIFICATION OF MODERN INTEGRATION PROCESSES IN ART

The article is devoted to the consideration of the Gezamtkunstwerk as a socioaesthetic concept, the ultimate goal of which is to implement the spiritual rebirth of humanity and the construction of a harmonious perfect society through artistic arts in the organic synthesis of his species. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the main principles of the theory of R. Wagner on the universal model of art in terms of its practical embodiment in a number of cultural projects of subsequent historical periods. As a result of the analysis of examples of the interpretations of the Gezamtkunstwerk, the author comes to the conclusion that the trend of the merger of various types of arts and their existence in a holistic artistic and creative form is observed in the XXI century.Thus, without offering perfect solutions to the main problems of our reality, Wagner’s concept can help to look at the modern world in a new way, realize all the depth of interconnections in it, and come to the conclusion of the necessity of the revival of mankind in a new quality. Therefore, the idea of spiritual transformation of reality with the help of artistic creativity can be considered relevant not only for the XIX and XX, but also for the XXI century
