Since the publication of Mr Sammler's Planet in 1969, it has been difficult to anticipate the development of Saul Bellow's fiction. Although this novel is Bellow's most disappointing work, its obvious limitations are anticipated in Herzog. There is a strong thread of ambiguous irony which, in Bellow's most recent novel, has deepened into unintentional parody. This is, I would suggest, a symptom of Bellow's inability to balance his protagonists' subjective reality with a convincing version of their social milieu.

It is important to understand Jean Paul Sartre’s mode of dualism in order to comprehend Sartre’s notion on humanbeings, freedom and conflict. As a man of ontological basis, Sartre put himself as a radical dualist in that it develops a number of ideas such as the meaning of objective and subjective reality, human existence and life. Those thoughts truly reveal the dark side of being in that it exemplifies the conflict in inter-human relationship context. Sartre discusses the objective meaning (en-soi) or “being-in-self”. For Sartre, en-soi is subject matter or the object of understanding that goes beyond human mind or the being of unconscious self. Unlike pour-soi(foritself) that only awares of itself, it denotes the dual characteristics of human that both awares of subject and the inner self. Human serves both as subject and object. Sartre argues that ‘Pour-soi’ underlining the notion of ‘the nihilation” of Being-in-itself’. In a concise word, “man presents himself…as a being that causes of ‘the nihilation’ of ‘Being in-itself” triggered freedom and conflict.

Humans are limited in what they know by the technical limitation of their cortical language network. A reality is a situation model. The universe is a collection of self-driven mathematical entities. If we are happy to accept randomness, it’s obviously possible that all other so-called “worlds” in the many-worlds interpretation don’t exist objectively. The so-called “physical interaction” (aka objective interaction) among any number of elementary particles is consistent with the so-called “physical law”. From the viewpoint of an imagined external observer (who is located somewhere outside of all worlds), in all worlds, every self-driven elementary particle is changing its state to match its fated state, together form a single fated self-driven state machine; the so-called “subjective reality” (aka the so-called “subjective conscious experience”) is actually the use of a mathematical model (MM) by a Turing machine (TM). The so-called “subjective reality” shouldn’t be able to alter/impact the fated world line of any elementary particle within this world. Except one objective MM which is a fitted MM of the objective reality, every other causality is not an objective MM but a Granger causality, and is an under-fitted MM of the objective reality.

Chapter 3 describes the anatomy of medical uncertainty, identifying key attributes that give it a three-dimensional conceptual shape, form, and structure. It characterizes uncertainty in terms of its (1) fundamental sources (root causes), (2) issues (substantive problems), and (3) loci (persons in whose minds uncertainty resides) and presents a conceptual framework that allows the variety of uncertainties in medicine to be classified and better understood. The chapter makes the case that in all of these ways, a three-dimensional conceptual framework can facilitate a more intentional, targeted, and rational approach to evaluating medical uncertainty. By providing a way of visualizing, ordering, and objectifying an otherwise invisible, disordered, subjective reality, the framework can ultimately enable clinicians and patients to better manage medical uncertainty.

This article is a reflection on the role of inclusive education in counteracting social inequalities and the presentation of a section of qualitative research conducted among homeless people who participated in active inclusion projects. The concept of inclusive lifelong learning indicates the need to create optimal conditions for lifelong education for every person. It is a key condition for improving individual quality of life and a tool for making individual success. The article refers to a fragment of narrative biographical research conducted among the homeless. Qualitative research is about subjective reality, revealing the unique aspects of active inclusion.

The article offered to your attention is, in substance, a series of conceptually connected excerpts from authorial treatise on the psychological background of pre-cognitive brain activism and some little-known hidden features of the functioning of the higher nervous system. Well and besides, a couple of chapters are devoted here to the innate physiological asymmetry of the hemispheres, and also to the denial of the relevance of true free will to humans. But in general, by and large, in his scientific views the author tries to adhere to the idea of the subjective reality of emotions and the relative illusory nature of sensations. In its spirit, this position is most likely close to Lenin’s than to the earlier - the German classical one (the founder is H. von Helmholtz). The latter, we recall, exactly one and a half centuries ago, developed own theory of perception, whereby subjective images do not resemble the objective qualities of perceived things, but are just their abstract signs (characters). That is, any momentary perception was determined, according to Helmholtz, by the "habitual means" already formed in a given individual, due to which the constancy of the visible world is preserved. While in this article the link between an object and a corresponding mental picture - vice versa - is rather considered as a relation of homomorphism between two non-equinumerous sets. However, to say that such homomorphic images of the same object can, in principle, exist an infinite number - this, perhaps, would be the easiest here. That’s why the author is willy-nilly forced sometimes to turn in the mind's eye to the hierarchical evolution of natural systems (starting from the primary monads) in the context of the progressive development of their psyche. And as far as the actuality around us is concerned, then final correct answer about the sought-for type of the mapping would, obviously, first of all depend here on the spatiotemporal parameters of the Universe and the comprehensive set of quantum characteristics of 5 (at least) stable elementary particles that have lied at the origins of being.

Taking in to account the analytical experience of Metaphorology, the article understudies deals with the ontological essence of a literary metaphor. It mostly occurs as a receptive issue and is regarded on a specific example of poetry by W. Shakespeare’s – the central figure of “the western canon”. Particular emphasis has been laid on Sonnet 64 and its Ukrainian and Russian translations, where the paradigm of time arises as a basic metaphor. According to O. Potebnia’s concept, time, as an image, always preserves its “inner form”: it is anthropomorphic and in all respects corresponds to the archaic mythologeme, which is further on is implemented as a detailed generative metaphor. A multi-componential metaphor of a “deadly thought” (“This thought is as a death”) about the destruction and fatal end of all things, which perfectly corresponds to the overall theme of the sonnet, consistently appears, unfolds and gets materialized in Shakespeare’s text. It transforms the abstraction of thought into a format of metaphorical imagery, the latter being distinctly conveyed in practically all translations. This metaphor is formed along an “ontological spiral” by zeugma (a four-time repetition of ‘when’, eventually attached to the generalization “Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate...”). This classical figure also models a compositional frame of metaphors in the sonnet. Relying on the issue of primacy in the ontological pair “essence” and “substance”, we might conclude that metaphor, being treated as a subjective reality-text, creates simultaneously “non-being” and is considered as a specific, fragmentary copy of the world, its quasi-original. The paradox of the phenomenon lies in the fact that “plunging” into the metaphorical field, we thus deeply penetrate into non-being, however heading to reality.
