The initial agenda of Methodism as a renewal movement in the Church of England was ‘to reform England, especially the church, and to spread scriptural holiness throughout the land’. Like most renewal movements in the history of Christianity, it did not succeed. Instead it morphed into a network of Methodist denominations across the world. ‘The people called Methodists’ outlines John Wesley’s new version of Christianity and its separation from the mother church. It describes the search for succession, the process of ordination, and the core elements of Methodism. Methodists insist on the sacraments of baptism and Eucharist, and on orderly ordination for their clergy. But beyond that there is flexibility, innovation, and adaptability.

Heidegger afirma que a fenomenologia pretende radicalizar o pensamento moderno, aquele tipo de filosofia que se diferencia do pensamento da tradição por tomar a subjetividade como referência necessária para falar sobre o mundo, a realidade, o ser, ou seja, por instituir a centralidade do sujeito na filosofia. Desde o início sua preocupação primeira foi a superação desse quadro teórico da filosofia da subjetividade na busca de articulação de uma nova forma de pensar, uma “filosofia do Ser” em que deve desaparecer o privilégio da subjetividade transcendental. A pergunta que o texto levanta é se Heidegger realmente pensou o que ele considera o objeto fundamental da filosofia. O presente ensaio pretende expor em suas linhas básicas a teoria do Ser Primordial de L. B. Puntel no contexto da crítica à metafísica e, sobretudo, da retomada da filosofia do Ser e sua insuficiência no pensamento de M. Heidegger. A consequência de maior alcance desta proposta para uma teoria filosófica se efetiva como virada radical em relação ao quadro teórico da filosofia transcendental. A transformação se efetiva com a mudança radical de centro: não o sujeito, mas a linguagem constitui o centro da estruturação de uma teoria filosófica o que tem como implicação a despotencialização do sujeito e a abertura do espaço para a articulação de uma Teoria do Ser.Abstract: For Heidegger, phenomenology seeks to radicalize modern thinking, which distinguishes itself from traditional thinking by taking subjectivity as the necessary reference to comprehend the world, reality, the being, and by asserting the centrality of the subject in philosophy. From the beginning, his primary concern was to overcome the theoretical framework of the philosophy of subjectivity in order to find a new way of thinking, a “philosophy of the being”, in which the supremacy of transcendental subjectivity should disappear. This article questions if Heidegger really thought what he proposed as (being) the fundamental object of philosophy. It also intends to outline L.B. Puntel’s theory of the Primordial Being, as a critical approach to metaphysics and more particularly, as a continuation of the Philosophy of the Being that was insufficiently developed by M. Heidegger. The most important consequence of this proposal, in terms of philosophical theory, is that it marks a radical turn in relation to the theoretical framework of transcendental philosophy. Such a transformation radically changes the focus: instead of the subject, it is language that is at the core of philosophical theory, which implies a disempowerment of the subject and an opening to articulate a Theory of the Being.

The subject of this research became the examination of genesis and functions of the motif of initiation within the Crimean Tatar magic tale. The ritual of initiation is an important social institute of pre-class society, which serves as the foundation of folk tradition for the peoples of the world. The archaic forms of this motif are associated with the mythological rituals-initiations. The motif of initiation in a magic tale often become the core of the plot and compositional structure. Special attention deserves the concept of the scholar Kerim Camanaqlı, who underlined the role of mythological images in development of the storyline of Crimean Tatar tales, as well as primeval roots of these images. The methodology and theoretical framework of the study is the compilations of Crimean Tatar tales of the early XX century “Tales and Legends of Crimean Tatars” (1936) and “Tales for Children” (1939), dictionaries, scientific writings of the prominent folklorists and literary historians. The novelty consists in revelation of the fact that Crimean Tatar magic tales, containing various compositional elements in their structure, include the pair “dying – rebirth”. The indicated elements of the composition of a magic tale emerged and formed under the influence of mythological rituals. By the specific attributes, the ritual of initiation in the tales can carry different functions and forms. Poetic transformation of the motif of initiation defines the peculiarities of magic tales. The main conclusion consists in the ethnographic ritualistic archaic, which vividly manifests in the Crimean Tatar magic tale, inherent with the formation of fundamentals of the tale, its initial structure, situations, images, system of poetic language and artistic means. Mythical character somewhat alienates from previous mythologicity and comes closer to a fairy image, being included into a fairy civilization.

Every civilization needs the basic sciences to develop in all aspects, including science and culture, industry and technology, etc. Philosophy is one of the core elements of the basic sciences. It focuses on epistemology and ontology. In the process of forming Islamic civilization, the nature and the essence of Islamic philosophy, its necessity, possibility, and impossibility are some of the main challenges of the 21th-century Islamic world. The main purpose of this study was to show the essence of Islamic philosophy based on the specific definitions presented for the philosophy today. The content of Islamic philosophy has been taken from the revelatory sources of Islam. Being affected by the schools of Peripatetic and Illuminationist and Transcendent philosophies, Islamic philosophy has reached such an eminence that is forming a great Islamic civilization. The data were collected through library research and were analyzed using a descriptive-analytical approach. The most important result of the study was the establishment of the position of Islamic philosophy, i.e., its superiority to other philosophical schools of the world.

Abstract Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, works depicting a post-human world have become a popular non-fiction genre. This kind of disanthropy is an extreme form of apocalyptic thinking. In this article, I examine one such disanthropic narrative, Alan Weisman’s bestselling non-fiction book The World Without Us (2007), using the theoretical framework of narrative fictionality studies. The World Without Us falls between the conventional oppositional pairing of factual and fictional narratives. The book bases its rhetoric heavily on scientific facts – or at least on scientific expectations – especially in its use of interviews with scientists. Nevertheless, the core idea of a world without humans is inevitably fictional since the presence of readers makes the book’s premise manifestly counterfactual and paradoxical. In my analysis, I adopt a rhetorical approach to fictionality and factuality to ask how particular techniques and strategies connected to fictionality and factuality are employed in Weisman’s text in order to discuss the anxieties, desires, hopes, and fears of the possibility of human extinction.

Microfinance is the provision of thrift, credit and other financial services and products of very small amounts to the poor. Although the word finance is in the term microfinance, and the core elements of microfinance are those of the finance discipline, microfinance has yet to break into the mainstream or entrepreneurial finance literature. It has become one of the most discussed subjects in the last two decades all over the world. Today micro finance programs and institutions have become gradually more important components of strategies to reduce poverty or promote micro and small enterprise development. This, in turn, gives rise to the importance of the issue of efficiency as well as sustainability of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) especially in developing countries like India. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of literature addressing the issues of MFI’s sustainability and efficiency levels.

The world has been surprised by the emergence of a COVID 19 pandemic, was born in China, and widespread to various countries in the world. In Indonesia, the government issued several policies to break the COVID 19 pandemic chain, which also triggered some pro-cons in the midst of society. One of the policies government takes is the closure of learning access directly at school and moving the learning process from physical class to a virtual classroom or known as online learning. In the economic sector also affects the parents’ financial ability to provide sufficient funds to support the implementation of distance learning applied by the government. The implications of the distance education policy are of course the quality of learning, including the subjects of Islamic religious education, which is essentially aimed at planting knowledge, skills, and religious consciousness to form the character of the students. Online education must certainly be precise, in order to provide equal education services to all students, prepare teachers to master the technology, and seek the core learning of Islamic religious education can still be done well.
