Straipsnyje gretinamos heidegeriškoji ir bergsoniškoji esaties, arba laiko, sampratos. Tariama, jog šių giminingų nemechanistinių laiko sampratų skirtybė yra neatsiejama nuo skirtingo materijos ir dvasios bei daugio ir vienio santykio apmąstymo bei sykiu numano skirtingą santykį su graikiškąja esmės sąvoka. Siekiama parodyti, jog iš Heideggerio būties mąstymo perspektyvos bergsoniškoji vitalistinė esaties traktuotė pasirodo kaip būties užmaršties pavidalas. Atskleidžiant Heideggerio ir Bergsono laiko sampratų skirtumus, sudaromos prielaidos eksplikuoti heidegeriškąją Aristotelio οὐσία sampratos interpretaciją, kurią galima suvokti ir kaip atsaką Bergsono klasikinės filosofijos kritikai.Heideggerian Construal of οὐσία as a Response to Bergsonian Critique of Classical ThoughtNerijus Stasiulis SummaryThe paper compares the Heideggerian and Bergsonian conceptions of isness, or time. The distinction between these affined non-mechanistic conceptions of time is assumed to be intrinsically linked to the different reflections on the relationship between matter and spirit as well as between the many and the one, and also to presuppose a different relationship to the Greek concept of essence. It seeks to demonstrate that, from the perspective of Heidegger’s thinking of Being, the Bergsonian vitalistic approach to isness reveals itself as a form of the forgetfulness of Being. Displaying the differences between Heidegger’s and Bergson’s conceptions of time allows to establish presumptions for explicating the Heideggerian construal of Aristotle’s conception of οὐσία, which can as well be called a response to Bergson‘s critique of classical philosophy.

The task of the paper is to determine what is the philosophical meaning of Plato’s Philebus. To define the meaning is to show which way of understanding Phile­bus is the most fruitful, most fully grasping and revealing what forms the sub­stantive core of Plato’s text. It’s no secret that the meaning of Philebus is not at all self-evident. From our point of view, the main subject of the dialogue lies not in the plane of ontology, but in ethics, and what is taken for ontological aspects in Philebus is much more related to the logical and methodological conditions for solving the main ethical problem. Therefore, in this article an attempt was made to show that the key themes of Philebus(the problem of the one-many, the relationship of the four kinds of beings, the theory of false pleasures) are inter­nally related. The question of the relationship between the one and the many is raised in connection with the clarification of the question of the logical status of pleasure. Division into four kinds (limit, unlimited, mixture, reason) is the ful­fillment of the methodological requirement for the necessity of division. The ana­lysis of pleasures following this methodological introduction examines pleasure in an entirely new light, in the light of truth/falsity.

Modern art history practice often treats Buddhist icons or ritual objects as unique objects, focusing on their originality and uniqueness. This text investigates how the paradoxical Buddhist doctrine of ‘the one and the many’ was translated into visual language through manipulation of the relationship between copies and the original. It analyses the different tactics and strategies formulated around given socio-historical frameworks to visualise the notion of infinity, and ultimately the structure of the universe, and suggests that multiple copies of a single design were more potent a vehicle than single objects in expressing ideas related to the Buddhist metaphysics.

Radical Transformation

Recently there has been considerable debate about the relationship between the religions of the world; in particular Christians have been anxious to formulate a theology of other religions which transcends the traditional Christian belief that God's revelation and salvation are offered exclusively in Jesus Christ. In this context a number of theologians have questioned the finality of Christ and Christianity. Professor John Hick for example - the leading proponent of this view - speaks of a Copernican revolution in theology which involves a radical transformation of the concept of the universe of faiths. It demands, he writes, ‘a paradigm shift from a Christianity–centred or Jesus–centred to a God–centred model of the universe of faiths. One then sees the great world religions as different human responses to the one divine Reality, embodying different perceptions which have been formed in different historical and cultural circumstances. Similarly, the Roman Catholic priest, Raimundo Panikaar, endorses a new map of world religions. Advocating a revised form of ecumenism which strives for unity without harming religious diversity, Panikaar argues that the fundamental religious fact of the world's religions is the mystery known in every authentic religious experience. For Panikaar, this mystery within all religions is both more than and yet has its being within the diverse experiences and beliefs of the religions: ‘It is not simply that there are different ways of leading to the peak, but that the summit itself would collapse if all the paths disappeared. The peak is in a certain sense the result of the slopes leading to it.… It is not that this reality has many names as if there were a reality outside the name. This reality is the many names and each name is a new aspect.’ Such a vision of the universe of faiths implies that no religion can claim final or absolute authority.

AbstractThe English philosopher/theologian Colin Gunton argues that many of the problems besetting the contemporary Western world, including those dealing with the environment, are traceable to a mistaken understanding of the relationship between the One and the Many in practical life. A solution, however, is available in retrieval of the doctrine of the Trinity promoted by the early Greek Fathers, in particular the notion of perichoresis as the dynamic bond of unity among the divine persons. While agreeing with Gunton on this point, the author believes that perichoresis can only be applied to the world of creation in terms of a metaphysics of universal intersubjectivity such as he developed in a recent book. After laying out the basic contours of this new 'relational ontology', the author concludes by calling attention to the work of another process-oriented thinker, Douglas Sturm, with the latter's work on the 'politics of relationality' and an ethic of solidarity.

Nine years before the Oxford English Dictionary was finally completed, Sir William Craigie proposed his scheme of period dictionaries. Pointing to the many problems in the language still unsolved, and to the “large quantities of interesting material” daily set aside because of the limitations of space, he insisted that this was the only way to meet completely the needs of scholars in English language and of serious students of our literature. Neither he nor the others who have taken up his proposal have ever conceived of these period dictionaries as works to supplant the Oxford Dictionary. They could not because they approach the language with essentially different purposes. Sir William Craigie in his report of 1919 phrases quite clearly the relationship of these later dictionaries to their parent:The Society's dictionary has easily outstripped any thing else of the kind in existence and contains such a general survey of the English language down to the present day as may never be entirely superseded; but its own plan on the one hand, and the immensity of the material on the other, prevent it from being absolutely final. Dealing as it does with English of all periods, from the seventh century to the twentieth, it has been impossible for it (beyond certain limits) to devote special attention to any one time. Yet each definite period of the language has its own characteristics, which can only be appreciated when it is studied by itself, and which are necessarily obscured when it merely comes in as one link in the long chain of the language as a whole.

This article is about the juxtaposition of the notion of perichoresis in the work and theology of the Cappadocian Fathers and the notion of Ubuntu in the African Traditional Religion (ATR). Perichoresis was a result of an attempt to understand and to resolve the relationships within the Trinity. The issue at hand was how to make sense between the one and the many at the same time. The Cappadocian Fathers understood the oneness of God as unity in plurality, not a singularity. One Ousia and three hypostases were based on the understanding of the relationships within the trinity. The question of three yet one God (the church in Jerusalem continued worship of God the Father and Jesus Christ in the Power of the Holy Spirit), the apostles according to the information we have never question nor try to resolve the position and status of Jesus within the oneness. It appears as though they celebrated the tension rather than resolving it. They heard from Jesus, who said to them ‘you believe in God believe also in me’ and ‘if you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him … whoever has seen me has seen the Father’. They also heard him when he said ‘I am in the Father and the Father is in me’. The article is going to investigate and analyse the two notions, Perichoresis and Ubuntu, within the African Christian context. Yet there is a tension between Jesus and the ancestors. Can this tension be resolved? The notion of Ubuntu is based upon the understanding that a person becomes fully a person in the presence of other persons. It is a notion that deals with the relationships from an individual to the community and from physical to spiritual perspectives. The article shall also attempt to analyse any categories of thinking that are within the ATR that may better explain the relationship within the Trinity.

This article focuses on the one of the many outcomes of the so-called rebranded philosophy of history, namely, the continuity-discontinuity issue. Eelco Runia’s, Noël Bonneuil’s and Paul A. Roth’s conceptions of historical time will be analyzed as representative of this subject in the landscape of the theory of history from 2010 on. The authors sampled not only provide the evidence that historical discontinuity remains alive as a theoretical and historiographical challenge, but they also disclose different arrays to think the relationship among past, present, and future, and historical transformation. The concepts of historical time analyzed recall Foucault’s discontinuously-base model of thinking historical time and add to it different varieties of historical discontinuity. Moreover, the continuity-discontinuity issue in the new backdrop involves operation of translating time into space (spatialization of time). As a result, the discontinuously-based model of historical time’s main characteristics will be summarized and its strength as a heuristic tool for further analyses of the concepts of historical time is outlined.

Of the many problems which trouble interpreters of Romans 9–11, none rises more massively from its pages or casts a more impenetrable shadow than the relationship between Paul's argument in 9:6–13 and his argument in 11:25–31. The issue in both passages is whether God's biblical promises to save Israel have failed (9:6, 11:29), exposing the God of Paul's gospel as untruthful (15:8) and unrighteous (3:5, 10:3). In 9:6–13 Paul denies the charge by defining Israel on the basis of God's choice rather than on the basis of national affiliation. In 11:25–32, however, he denies the charge by pointing forward to a time in which God will fulfill his promises and secure the salvation of all Israel. The problem is that these two defenses of God's faithfulness seem to contradict one another, and the defense in chapter eleven seems not only to contradict the one in chapter nine but to oppose Paul's frequent and emphatic denial in several letters, and especially in Romans, that national Israel has any soteriological advantage over the Gentiles.

Dying Patient

The aid given by the physician to the family of a child who dies in the hospital begins before that event and continues after it. The competence, sincerity and consideration shown by the medical staff during the period of fatal illness establish the atmosphere in which this crucial human experience occurs. The most important aspect of this atmosphere is the relationship between the physician and the patient, including his family. This relationship has the potential of helping the family to cope with their grief when the child dies. This is optimally achieved when there is one doctor whom the parents can identify as the child's physician. It is necessary to emphasize the importance of the one doctor when the most efficient hospital service is continuously faced with the weakening of this relationship, because of the many professional personnel actively involved in hospital care of patients. The child's physician provides the medical continuity in the management of the patient in his fatal illness. Althoug there is the tendency and opportunity to withdraw one's interest from the fatally ill child in the hospital, the physician's persistent attention and efforts are of real value to the dying child and his family. This is not to say that unrealistic, last-minute procedures are necessary or can make up for a lack of attention earlier in the course of the dying patient. By making the child and parents as comfortable as possible the physician establishes himself as one who will help them endure the crisis for which they are preparing. Through his skill in communicating with child and parents in this situation the physician helps the child and family to feel appropriately dependent on the doctor and his staff. Unless a parent is severely disturbed emotionally, the best preparation he can have for the painful and tragic experience of losing his child is to know what is going to happen next, insofar as it is possible to know. The parents may need to have the diagnosis, as well as the nature of the treatment, explained many times before they will be able to understand and accept the painful reality of the situation.
