The text 1 Samuel 3 has been oft studied from the perspective of the call. A deeper analysis reveals that an important theme is the discernment. The paper focuses on the theme of discernment and the answer to the divine call. The topic of discernment is a particularly current theme, especially in the context of the wide access to information and globalization. First, the study clarifies some concepts and terms. Who is Samuel? Why is he proposed as a model? What is the meaning of discernment? Secondly, I make an exegetical analysis of the text in 1 Samuel 3, in order to identify some characteristics of vocation: the call, the discernment of the divine will, and the mission. The final part sets out the implications. It will highlight the elements that render Samuel a symbol of discernment, with an emphasis on the theological and spiritual aspects and the application of the same to the existence of today man. As Samuel, the human being needs to listen, to discern and to act.

"Calamitas terrena or Poena divina: An Eliadian Approach to the Plague in the Novel Sortez vos morts by Bruno Leydet. The article proposes a dichotomous analysis of the outbreak of the Black Plague in Marseille (1720), described by French writer Bruno Leydet in the novel Sortez vos morts, which appeared in 2005. According to the grid established by Mircea Eliade, the analysis is built on two levels: the sacred and the profane. The religious as well as the modern perception of the disease and the use of a relevant lexis allow the bubonic plague to transgress the historical space, passing into the literary one. The plague epidemic in southern France is, in our view, not only a manifestation of the divine will to punish the sinful souls of the dead, but also the incarnation of greed and vicious side of the human being.

This essay offers a reflection on Arendt's notion of radical evil, arguing that her later understanding of the banality of evil is already at work in her earlier reflections on the nature of radical evil as banal, and furthermore, that Arendt's understanding of the “banality of radical evil” has its source in the very event that offers a possible remedy to it, namely, the event of natality. Kristeva's recent work (2001) on Arendt is important to this proposal insofar as her notion of “abjection” illuminates Arendt's claim that understanding the superfluousness of the modem human being is inseparable from grasping the emergence of radical evil. In the final part of the essay, I argue that Arendt's “politics of natality” emerges from out of these two inseparable moments of the event of natality, offering the only possible remedy to the threat of radical evil by modifying our relationship to temporality.

AbstractThis paper is intended to be an introduction to the elucidation of the mutual understanding on the basis of the concept interpretation. The author raises the question about how is it possible to understand each other in spite of the fact that the mental world is immediately inaccessible. He argues that the possibility of the mutual understanding is an anthropological constant: the human being is set for understanding as a result of the evolutional mature of his interpretational ability. The major part of the text is an attempt at explanation of the role of interpretation in the process of shaping of the subject. It is argued that the germ of the subjectivity is the instinct for self-preservation which determines the fundamental relation of the human to the world: the world is seen through the lens of egocentrism. Showing that the possibility of the mutual understanding of egocentric subjects is a deceptive paradox helps us comprehend the anthropological foundation of this phenomenon. The final part of the text outlines the problem of the mutual understanding in the real interactional conditions and focuses the attention on three fundamental factors: ego, language, egoism

The article aims at analyzing the role of criticism in forming the image of human being in interpersonal interactions. The discussion starts with defining criticism and image. In order to define the concept of criticism, the definition proposed by Mirosław Karwat (2007) is applied. Next, the notion of image is analyzed by means of Stanisław Puppel’s (2016) definition. Finally, the role of criticism in forming the image of human being is scrutinized by means of a survey which was carried out among 20 students studying in Poznań. The results are discussed in the final part of the article.

Kesimpulannya, bahwa Allah tidak mengalami perubahan seperti apa yang dialami oleh manusia.  Pernyataan bahwa Allah berubah pikiran pada dasarnya dapat digolongkan sebagai akomodasi, cara Allah menyampaikan maksudnya kepada manusia dengan cara yang dapat dipahami.

The article differentiates modern socio-political narratives with their inherent speculative ontological and anthropological foundations and the real causes of social transformations of the modern era and shows that the ideological and socio-political foundations of liberalism emerged in the pre-modern era widespread after the invention of printing technology. Through book printing, liberalism opened wide access to information resources and contributed to the important transformation of peoples into nations, uniting historically conditioned social demands of peoples into an ideological core. The uniqueness of liberalism was determined by the collective interests of the active minority, which, using the achievements of information technology revolutions, made efforts to destroy the archaic unjust orders and systems. The struggle against these unjust orders gave an indulgence to uncriticalism, thus contributing to the penetration into the public consciousness of a large number of ideals and norms, which promoted the enslavement of people, disguising it as humanistic tendencies.

We must analyze literacy in general and in particular the so-called digital literacy as a sociocultural problem linked to the formation of individuals. Every social or technological change has always demanded a profound transformation from humanity, due to the vertiginous advances that have occurred; Throughout history, man has seen the need to transform some practices. Reading has been one of the fundamental axes because the human being has required addressing and being able to face the challenges facing globalization and information technologies. The deep and rapid transformations in all fields of modern life are something that characterizes the world in which we live. The new forms of communication have accelerated, a revolution of wide scope that revolves around the transformation of the mechanisms of production, diffusion and access to information, as well as in the expressive and representative languages of culture and knowledge. In universities, they must identify the areas that need to be strengthened to support students in carrying out the readings responsibly.

O Tráfico Humano (TH) representa um dos desafios mais dramáticos e complexos da realidade contemporânea, pois nele o ser humano é reificado e reduzido à condição de mercadoria vendável. Objetivo deste artigo é apresentar, antes que uma descrição fenomenológica das várias modalidades de TH, alguns debates relacionados com a intelecção do fenômeno, visando principalmente apontar os desafios que essa prática apresenta não apenas para suas vítimas, mas, de forma mais geral, para a sociedade brasileira e aquela internacional. Após uma sucinta apresentação do contexto geral de mercantilização e reificação do ser humano, analisaremos a relação entre TH e migração, o tráfico para fins de exploração sexual, o tráfico para fins de trabalho forçado e, na parte final, apontaremos alguns desafios específicos para o cristianismo.Abstract: Human Traffic represents one of the most dramatic and complex challenges of contemporary reality since it reifies and reduces human beings to the condition of a saleable commodity. The objective of this article is to present, rather than a phenomenological description of the various modalities of the HT, some debates related with the understanding of the phenomenon, not only from the point of view of its victims, but, more generally, from that of the Brazilian and the international societies. After a summary presentation of the general context of mercantilization and reification of the human being, we will analyse the relation between HT and migration, the traffic for purposes of sexual exploitation, the traffic for purposes of forced labour and in the final part, we will point to some of the specific challenges it presents for Christianity.Keywords: Human Traffic.

Methods Of Suicide

Abstract. Background: Information on methods of suicide is available online, and access to information on methods of suicide appears to contribute to a small but significant proportion of suicides. There is limited documentation of how methods of suicide are being profiled, as well as what content exists in other languages than English. Aim: We aimed to analyze and compare how methods of suicide are profiled on Danish and English-language websites. Method: We applied a categorization and content analysis of websites describing methods of suicide. Sites were retrieved by applying widely used Danish and English-language search terms. Results: A total of 136 English-language websites and 106 Danish-language websites were included for analysis. Websites were more often categorized as prevention or support sites, academic or policy sites, and against suicide sites than dedicated suicide sites (i.e., pro-suicide sites), or information sites. However, information on methods of suicide was available, and 20.1% and 8.9% of the English and Danish-language sites, respectively, suggested that a particular method of suicide was quick, easy, painless, or certain to result in death. Limitations: Only one author coded and analyzed all websites. A further operationalization of the content analysis checklist is warranted to increase reliability. Conclusion: The websites primarily had a prevention or anti-suicide focus, but information on methods of suicide was available, requiring an increased focus on how to diminish the negative effects of harmful online content.
