Em sua teoria política do reconhecimento, Taylor trata de um dos grandes desafios das sociedades contemporâneas: o desafio do multiculturalismo. O pluralismo de ideias, articulado de forma racional, é o fundamento de uma boa democracia; no entanto, para Taylor, não basta que haja o pluralismo ou a diferença, mas é fundamental que a relação intersubjetiva desses indivíduos se desenvolva com o devido respeito à diversidade; portanto, é fundamental que exista o reconhecimento do outro, um olhar para a alteridade e para a formação da identidade dos indivíduos, sendo esta última entendida como uma característica fundamental dos seres humanos. Neste texto, refletimos sobre três ideias fundamentais presentes no texto A política do reconhecimento: (i) em que consiste o reconhecimento; (ii) por que ele é uma necessidade humana vital para a formação saudável e igualitária tanto da identidade do indivíduo como de uma determinada cultura; e (iii) a crítica a neutralidade da posição liberal e a importância de uma meta coletiva forte. Identity, intersubjectivity and human dignity: some thought on Charles Taylor’s politics of recognition Abstract: In his theory of recognition, Taylor thematizes one of the greatest challenges of contemporary societies: the challenge of multiculturalism. The pluralism of ideas, articulated in a rational way, is the fundament of a solid democracy; however, according to Taylor, is it not sufficient the existence of pluralism or difference, but it is central that the intersubjective relationship of these subjects could be developed with the correct respect to diversity; therefore, it is fundamental the existence of the recognition of the other, a looking to the alterity and the formation of the identity of the individuals, this last understood as a basic characteristic of human beings. In this paper, we will reflect on three key ideas developed by Taylor’s The politics of recognition: (i) the sense of the recognition; (ii) why it is a vital human need to the sustainable and egalitarian formation to both individual identity and cultures; and (iii) the criticism of the neutrality of the liberal position, as the importance of the strong collective aim.

Esta reflexão quer resgatar a antiga intuição eclesial expressa no princípio: legem credendi statuat lex supplicandi (“a lei da oração estabeleça a lei da fé”). Assim sendo, a norma do culto cristão determinará a lógica do crer, explicitando que entre a Liturgia e a Teologia vige uma relação de intrínseca reciprocidade. De um lado, concebe-se a Liturgia como fonte da Teologia e, do outro, a Teologia surge como a instância de verificação da Liturgia. As interpelações que a Liturgia lança à Teologia se reúnem em torno de três elementos: a eclesialidade como o húmus da teologia; o evento pascal de Cristo como a seiva da teologia; a criação, a história e o ser humano como o espaço vital da teologia. A conclusão frisa a necessidade de se aceitar a sacramentalidade da existência humana e a contingência de suas manifestações, e sugere que tanto a Liturgia como a Teologia se tornem mais simbólicas e se aproximem mais da poesia.Abstract: This reflection intends to retrieve and preserve the old ecclesiastical intuition expressed in the principle: legem credendi statuat lex supplicandi (“the law of the prayer should establish the law of faith”). Thus, the norm of the Christian cult will determine the logic of the belief, making it clear that between Liturgy and Theology there prevails a relationship of intrinsic reciprocity. On the one hand, Liturgy is conceived as the source of Theology and, on the other, Theology appears as the instance that confirms Liturgy. The challenges Liturgy places before Theology centre around three elements: the ecclesiastical principles as the humus of theology; the paschal event of Christ as the sap of Theology; and the creation, history and human beings as the vital space of Theology. The conclusion emphasizes the need to accept the sacramental character of human existence and the contingency of its manifestations and suggests that both Liturgy and Theology should become more symbolic and closer to poetry.

Children are full human beings in their own right. Child maltreatment is the abuse and neglect that occurs to children under 18 years of age. It includes all types of physical and/or emotional ill-treatment, sexual abuse, neglect, negligence and commercial or other exploitation, which results in actual or potential harm to the childs health, survival, development or dignity in the context of a relationship of responsibility, trust or power. Exposure to intimate partner violence is also sometimes included as a form of child maltreatment. Assertive behaviour in contrast to the other possibilities of aggressive or submissive/passive behaviour. The aim of assertive behaviour is to communicate productively with another person, achieving what is often described as a win/win outcome.

The Relationship

Abstract In working to understand myths, rituals, and the human beings who craft and use them, Jonathan Z. Smith involved himself in a debate located primarily in anthropology. What is one to make of cultural and linguistic differences? How do differences come to matter? Are there barriers to understanding between one culture-group-tribe and another that surpass the power of translation? Smith’s stance in this debate was partly negative. It cannot be the case that there are differences between cultures that entail ranking some higher than others. More constructively, Smith posed the question of the relationship of two approaches that shape the debate: on one side, the approach of structuralism, which seeks to identify what all cultures share, and on the other, the approach of history, which looks for anomalies and outliers, specificities and accidents. One must commit to both, he claimed. The question is, how?

Human Need

Human dignity is the recognition and respect of human need, desire and expectation one individual by another. This recognition is indispensable because no human being survives alone: Human dignity creates the foundation of society and civilization. Our knowledge of history suggests that religious ideas have provided this basic foundation of civilization. Describing the first recognized civilization in history one historian says, “Religion permeated Sumerian civic life.” According to another historian, “Religion dominated, suffused, and inspired all features of Near Eastern society—law, kingship, art, and science.” Based on these observations while defining civilization Samuel Huntington asserts, “Religion is a central defining characteristic of civilizations.”In Islam, the Qur’an declares that: “We have bestowed dignity on the progeny of Adam.” The verse then continues to remind the whole of mankind of God's special favor unto them with physical and intellectual abilities, natural resources and with superiority over most other creatures in the world. This dignity is bestowed through God's act of creating Adam and breathing into him His Own Spirit. Since all human beings originated from Adam and his spouse, every single human being possesses this dignity regardless of color, race, religion and tribe. The whole of mankind, as khalīfah (vice-resenf) is responsible for establishing peace on earth through divinely ordained values such as amānah (trust), ‘adālah (justice) and shūra (consultation).

The Relationship

The discussion on the relationship of democracy and development has only become meaningful after being freed from a purely dogmatic approach. International law, in particular international human rights instruments, commit States' Parties to establish and sustain a government based upon democratic elections and which is politically accountable. Development requires a policy towards achieving conditions where human beings can enjoy freedom from want and fear. Both policies, on democratization and development, are meant to achieve conditions in which human dignity is fully respected and they are therefore mutually reinforcing.

J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye (1951) and Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar (1963), both serve as masterpiece accounts of teen angst and intricate detailed workings of the mind post world war when society was growing on one side with new foliage of technological innovation aimed at improving the lifestyle of human beings, on the other was on a slowyet painful process of moral, individual and spiritual decay as men and women had given way to the evils of the surplus and easy way of living. Not only were relationships coming under the radar of suspicion with humans doubting and betraying each other, a major issue of serious concern was on the rise as well that being the changing dynamics of adolescent brain and mind. Prone to modernization, the functioning of the mind of teenagers was undergoing a tremendous change where overt sensitivity was on rise. This paper focuses upon the main themes of (I) ideals cherished by both the protagonists, their view on them as individuals of the society, (II) on sexuality and (III) the serious issue of suicide which had been sought out as the best means of escape as their surroundings fail to bend according to their visions. This paper makes special efforts at analysing the same by bringing into it the status of relationship of the protagonist with his or her family member, peers, teachers and counsellors and how exactly it helps in expressing who they are and what they want.

This essay on the themes of paideia and humanitas in Giambatista Vico's inaugural orations is excerpted form a chapter of a larger study on Vico and Plato. I focus on Pico della Mirandola's Oration of the Dignity of Man because it illuminates Vico's humanistic ideals. For Vico, self-knowledge is the axis of the sphere of the liberal arts. Self-knowledge for human beings is twofold. The divinity of the human mind is a central theme in Vico as well as Pico, and human dignity is strongly stated. So one aspect of self-knowledge establishes confidence in human abilities. The other side is the recognition of human ignorance and misery. How does Vico reconcile the divinity of the human mind with the observation that most human beings are fools? The same way Pico does. Humanitas is the goal of paideia, not a given. Education makes us into human beings. We become who we are through the cultivation of virtue. Vico inspires in his students the confidence to undertake the heroic effort to rule their passions and dispel ignorance. This confidence in human potential Vico learned from Renaissance thinkers such as Pico. Vico is most impassioned when he treats educational themes, and his words are inspiring today for students and teachers alike.

Opening ParagraphIn this paper I consider some Lugbara notions about witches, ghosts, and other agents who bring sickness to human beings. I do not discuss the relationship of these notions, and the behaviour associated with them, to the social structure. The two aspects, ideological and structural, are intimately connected, but it is possible to discuss them separately: on the one hand, to present the ideology as a system consistent within itself and, on the other, to show the way in which it is part of the total social system. Here I attempt only the former.

True Values

An examination of the possibly right or true values involves a deep reflection on human life and the nature of values, and that includes all aspects of human life – i.e. includes basically our relationship to nature: to surrounding nature and ourselves. On this background we might discover the problematic relationship of human beings to nature on the basis of destructions of nature and of climate-change, but we might also start the other way round and ask: which are the true values and why? And then in contrast to these true and positive values ask: which values are false and destructive values?

The Right

Euthanasia is bioethical dilemma. Different countries are struggling for its legalization. The Proponents consider that Euthanasia is against the dignity of human being and everyone has right to relief his pain. They think that human beings have to live a life which is according to the standard of humanity but when a person suffers from a disease which is incurable, his standard of life goes down to a level which is not suitable for a human being. So in such condition they should have the right to end their lives with dignity. This paper basically deals with what is the concept of euthanasia? What is its history and what rationale does its proponents and opponents presents? This research is historical, analytical and descriptive. The views of both parties have been analyzed. The research shows that it is not a new phenomenon. Its roots are found in Greek period. Its proponents take it as a savior of human dignity and freedom. It’s the basic right of every human to decide about the end of his life. On the other side the opponents think that it is unethical and we don’t have a right to end our life as we are a part of big plan of God.
