Then the tradition of astronomy in the development of scientific thought is examined. The contribution of astronomy in shaping the post-Renaissance society is briefly introduced. It is concluded that the recent developments of ideas in cosmology throw light on the intrinsic nature and limitations of the scientist as a human being.

In India, in the ancient scriptures, Vedas and Puranas, religious texts and sages and sages have placed greater emphasis on the purity of the environment. In the Vedas, considering the environment provided by nature as a deity, it is said that-"Yo Devoganon Yo Psu Cho World Bhu Nama Special,Yo dispenser, yo botanical picture, devay namo namahThat is, which is covered with the creation, fire, water, sky, earth, and air, and which is present in medicines and flora. We salute that environmental god.Nature has been extremely generous on humans. Since its rise on earth, humans have been dependent on nature for their survival. Different types of tools are needed to fulfill human needs. It is only by these resources that the basic needs of human being are fulfilled by bread, cloth and house. In the absence of these means, a pleasant human life cannot be imagined. भारतवर्ष में प्राचीन शास्त्रों, वेद-पुराणों में, धर्म ग्रन्थो में तथा ऋषि-मुनियों ने पर्यावरण की शुद्धता पर अधिक बल दिया है । वेदों में प्रकृति प्रदत्त पर्यावरण को देवता मानकर कहा गया है कि-‘‘यो देवोग्नों यो प्सु चो विष्वं भुव नमा विवेष,यो औषधिषु, यो वनस्पतिषु तस्में देवाय नमो नमः’’अर्थात जो सृष्टि, अग्नि, जल, आकाष, पृथ्वी, और वायु से आच्छादित है तथा जो औषधियों एवं वनस्पतियों में विद्यमान है । उस पर्यावरण देव को हम नमस्कार करते है ।प्रकृति मानव पर अत्यंत उदार रही है । पृथ्वी पर अपने उद्वव के बाद से ही मानव अपने अस्तित्व के लिये प्रकृति पर निर्भर रहा है । मानवीय आवष्यकताओं की पूर्ति के लिए विभिन्न प्रकार के साधनों की आवष्यकता होती है इन संसाधनों द्वारा ही मानव की मूलभूत आवष्यकताएं रोटी, कपड़ा एवं मकान की पूर्ति होती है । इन साधनों के अभाव में सुखद मानव जीवन की कल्पना नहीं की जा सकती है ।

The task of understanding the uniqueness of human being which underlies the obligations obtaining among men in distinction from all other creatures, is a perennial task of Christian theology. The one complete and final revelation of God in Jesus Christ has planted this task firmly and unalterably at the centre of theological reflection rather than at its periphery. In our generation the search for theological clarity on this matter receives heightened urgency from the pervasive assault on dignity of human being coming from recent developments in the modern sciences and technologies. This assault is conducted simultaneously in the theoretical and practical realms, armed by the increasing coalescence of the two realms in advanced scientific method.1 Today the most consequential knowledge of human life is produced by the most exact, intricate, and complex forms of manipulation and control. In the enthralling feats of biochemical technology the coming–into–being of individual human life is now the object of experimental making.2 Whetheror not our mastery of the reproductive process will ever lay bare the mystery of human generation, it certainly throws open to an unprecedented degree the question of what human being is, and by what its uniqueness is constituted.

In Western scholarship, descriptions of translation have emphasized instrumentality and outcome, leaving one to wonder where the translator as human being is in this product-oriented field. Bible translation is equally affected by this tendency. In fact, recent developments affecting the Bible translation mission, including an infusion of funding which comes with a focus on technology and the expectation of increased speed to product, make questions about the translator and translation as process all the more acute. This essay suggests that a perspective on translation has been lost or obscured, and seeks to look at translation “from the other side”—the side of anthropology, which allows translation to be (re)considered as a serious human endeavor, a feature of human life-in-movement, a meaningful and meaning-making process.

Ideological Killing in the Works of Fyodor DostoyevskyThe key issue of the article is the motivation for murder – the “ethics” of killing. The moral dimension of murder and the killer’s axiological awareness become crucial. The article answers questions about various aspects of murder. Is killing always wrong? Are there any situations in which the categorical ban on taking human life can be relativised in the context of the defence of another human being and higher values? Are there any values for the implementation of which political ideas and ideologies can justify mass murder, and, as a result, bloody revolution, war, and genocide? What is the role of a culture that promotes ideologies based on the idea of killing or internal fighting? The author deals with the issue of ideological murder in Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novels. The article addresses moral issues concerning the murder, as well as the metaphysical dimension of crime. On the basis of Crime and Punishment and Demons, the author shows what blind faith in ideology can lead to.

The article considers the problem of human self-identification in the modern world. The relevance of the study is due to the process of human self-alienation, the loss of the person’s rootedness in his own foundational content stemming from the human nature itself. The specificity of philosophical reflection on human being is shown. The leading approach to the study of this problem is the ascent from the abstract to the concrete, which makes it possible to comprehend human being and the phenomena of time, finitude, and corporeality associated with it as phenomena that identify the truly human principle in us and manifest the ontological meaning itself. The dialectical method and hermeneutic analysis of the texts of contemporary researchers considering the problems of the philosophical bases of the human personality in the modern world are also used in this study. The article analyzes the status of the personality in the modern technogenic world, in which the uncontrolled stream of simulations and imitations, which include the human being becoming alienated, puts on the brink not only a person’s presence in the world, but the world itself as a “native home” of human life. The analysis shows that the possibility of human self-identification in the world is possible only due to the fact that it forms and preserves the human principle in us and is the manifestation of its being. The special role of conscious, sane and responsible action in this process is shown.

This article continues the author’s study initiated in the previous number of a given collection. It also regards the specific problem of interconnection between history and psychology. However, in this sequel the main accent is on the style of thinking and value criteria of Benedetto Croce, who is an outstanding European theoretician and methodologist in the sphere of History, original philosopher, authoritative connoisseur of Culture and Arts, an unswerving supporter of high ideals of Italian Risorgimento. The concept of absolute historicity, grounded by the scholar on the basis of deep philosophic probation into mechanisms of historic thinking, had a significant impact both on further development of historic theory and on the formation of new understanding of a role of historic experience for social practice of a full-fledged democracy. Croce’s works help to comprehend the paradoxy of a phenomenon of historic consciousness, which is always modern by its nature. It remains modern irrespective of whatever temporal layers it resurrects at each particular moment of human life. Historic consciousness is an important component of psychologic reality of any human being and that is why it requires a subtle feeling of profound homogeneity. It’s important not to forget that historic consciousness preserves a considerable potentiality of an actual impact on human behaviour in particular and on communicative processes within the frames of society in general. It proves the fact that history is always with the human being and within him. That is why historic policy on the stage of democratic transformation should be especially grounded and should be characterized by a high level of psychologic culture
