Философский анализ психологических теорий Я-концепции

The importance of philosophical methodology in the organization of scientific knowledge is recognized. The task of the analysis given in this article was the integration of knowledge on the study of the selfconcept as a psychological phenomenon, since the topic of this research is relevant not only in psychology, but also in philosophy. The history of the development of the self-concept unfolds within the framework of the study of the idea of «I», the consideration of the problems of which originates in ancient cultures and accompanies the entire path of development of philosophical thought, then emerging as a branch of psychological knowledge. Psychological research «I» continues the scientific search for the origins of this phenomenon from the standpoint of various theoretical schools. The study of self-concept is formed as an independent research direction and its central construct, starting with the works of W. James, who for the first time in psychology considers the aspect of considering the «I» by the subject of cognition itself. In subsequent studies, the self-concept is revealed most fully and independentlyin the K. Rogers' phenomenological approach in the mainstream of humanistic psychology.At present, the construction of the selfconcept is influenced by many other theories, both psychological and philosophical, such as Russian philosophical thought of the 20s, the work of transcendentalists and the views of other representatives of philosophy, starting with ideas about the «I» characteristic of the archaic cultures of the East and West.

Hermeneutics of Aristotle and Hermeneutics of Sophists in Terms of Dialogue Philosophy. Part 1

The article considers the logical and philosophical doctrine of sophists, which, according to some modern researchers, was more philosophical than their ancient critics recognized. A comparison of the provisions of Aristotle's hermeneutics with preserved fragments of Protagoras and Gorgias shows that the doctrine of sophists was a kind of holistic philosophy, which anticipated the philosophy of dialogue of the XX century. Despite the fact that the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle tried to overcome the relativism and anti-ontologism of the doctrine of sophists, some elements of its dialogueism were preserved in subsequent philosophy in dialectics and rhetoric. The first thing you should pay attention to is the difference between the dialogical form of the presentation of philosophy in Plato and dialogue as the fundamental basis of thinking that we find among sophists. The dialogueism preserved in the dialectic of Plato and the rhetoric of Aristotle is more a technical method of convincing the interlocutor than a hermeneutical basis, which it is in the philosophy of dialogue and in the method of Socratic discussion. The linguistic turn that occurred in the philosophy of the 20th century includes not only an increased interest in language and accuracy of expression. No less important is the new formulation of the question of the nature of the language. Is language a tool for the formulation of thought as Aristotle believed and followed by representatives of modern analytical philosophy, or does it have its own fundamental status, as representatives of the philosophy of dialogue believe? In this context, it is very important for the philosophy of dialogue to find in the thinking of the pre-Socratics those predecessors who already two and a half thousand years ago charted the paths for modern thought. The first part of the article analyzes the relationship between Aristotles hermeneutics and hermeneutics of sophists.

From Serena to Hypatia: John Toland's Women

AbstractThis paper focusses on John Toland's influentialHypatia(1720), an account of the neo-Platonist philosopher and mathematician murdered in ancient Alexandria; it also considers segments of hisLetters to Serena(1704), and suggests various conjunctions between the two texts which confirm Toland's genuine and sustained feminist commitment. As I try to establish, Toland's concern is as much about contemporaneous events as it is about ‘disinterested’ history: by promoting Hypatia as the representative of philosophy in its perennial struggle with superstition and priestcraft, Toland is able to underscore the wider case for an inclusive and capacious conception of ‘enlightenment’.

Investigation of virtual reality concept based on system analysis of conceptual series

The paper covers approaches to the definition of virtual reality from the point of view of the humanitarian sciences and technology. Each approach analyzing problems of concept perception of methods interpreted by representatives of philosophy, psychology and sociology is singled out. Terminological analysis of the basic concepts is carried out and their refinement is constructed in the process of comparing the concepts of virtuality and virtual reality. Using the analysis of selected sources, a number of singularity characteristics of the given concept are singled out and its definition is specified. Results consist in combining the interpretation of all approaches to determine the concept of virtual reality. Due to the use of a comprehensive approach to the definition of the investigated concept, which allows us to consider the object of research as a set of elements that are subject to study with the help of a corresponding set of methods, one can conclude that the concept under study is complex and multifaceted. The authors noted that virtual reality technologies have a flexible concept depending on the field of application.

ГАРМОНІЙНІ АСПЕКТИ КАЛОКАГАТІЇ: ІСТОРИКО-ФІЛОСОФСЬКИЙ АНАЛІЗ

The paper considers to philosophically analyze the harmony and harmonious development of man, their interpretation from Antiquity to our days. Human life on perpetual search for inner and outer harmony. The author of the article analyze the statements of the greatest philosophers about the harmonious development of the person. Тhe idea that the ideal of a developed harmonious person is substantial basis of the ancient ideal of kalokagathia throughout the history of development and transformation іt is discussed. For many centuries from antiquity to the present day, representatives of philosophy have tried to explain who the person is. And a harmonious development person, should be in the priority for the development of any state. In the historical dynamics, the accents of these philosophical problems were repeatedly changed, their basic principles and thesis were rethought. Accordingly, the views of people changed, and consequently the ideas of kalokagathia, harmony and harmonious development. But only the main feature ‒ components ‒ did not change. Specificity of harmony and harmonious development is revealed on the basis of an analysis of philosophical and scientific material. These widespread terms are kalokagathia, one of the key concepts and basic methodological principles of ancient Greek philosophy. They make it possible for a person to realize his outer and his inner world as a single whole, and is in certain eternal inner relationships. The findings of the research show that the harmonious development, as an idea of kalokagathia always aimed at the development of external and internal abilities and instilling a sense of beauty, goodness, justice, truth and their harmonious harmony. The philosophical thought of harmonious development, after going through the ages, acquired new interpretive meanings and national specifics. And in the history of each culture there were periods when accents were drawn on kalokagathia meanings and their reading in the system, ethical and philosophical, aesthetic concepts. The idea of harmonious human development connects the past with our modernity. Moreover, this idea is constantly directed to the future, because it is in a state of continuous development.

Boldogító utazás: A turizmus hatása a magyar lakosság szubjektív életminőségére

A szubjektív életminőséggel kapcsolatban felmerülő kérdések tisztázása napjainkra már nem csak a tudományos műhelyek közötti párbeszédben, hanem a társadalom közérzetéért felelős politikai berkekben is prioritást élvező témának számít. A kutatók, legyenek azok a filozófia, a pszichológia, a szociológia, a geográfia vagy éppen a közgazdaságtudomány képviselői, leginkább a boldogság forrását, a szubjektív jólét eléréséhez vezető utat, a politikusok pedig annak a hatalom általi befolyásolhatóságának mikéntjét kívánják feltárni, illetve feltáratni. A Nemzeti turizmusfejlesztési stratégia (2005-2013) – nemzetközi összehasonlításban is egyedülálló módon – rendkívüli fontosságot tulajdonít a magyar lakosság utazásainak életminőség-növelő szerepére. Ahhoz, hogy a dokumentumban megfogalmazottak valóban a társadalom javára válhassanak, az önkormányzati és Területfejlesztési Minisztérium Turisztikai Szakállamtitkársága a Magyar Turizmus Zrt.-vel és az MTA Földrajztudományi Kutatóintézettel együttműködve felkérte a Központi Statisztikai Hivatalt a lakosság utazási magatartásával összefüggő boldogságfaktor feltárására. A 2007- ben, mintegy 11,5 ezer háztartásban folytatott kérdőíves felmérés eredménye felszínre hozta a turizmus és az életminőség kapcsolatának eddig alig ismert vetületeit. A tanulmány az életminőséggel kapcsolatos hazai és nemzetközi szakirodalom kontextusába helyezve tárgyalja a felnőtt magyar lakosságra reprezentatív vizsgálat eredményeit, értékeli az egyes változók mentén létrehozott adattáblákat. A szerzők különös hangsúlyt helyeznek az utazás és az élettel való elégedettség közötti általános kapcsolatok bemutatására, valamint az utazásokban rejlő boldogság összetevőinek feltárására.
