Personalism is a philosophical school of thought focused on thorough considerations around the human being. A few types and branches of personal­ism can be distinguished, for example by country of origin and development of thought, or by the analysis of differ­ent elements that constitute a human be­ing. On Polish ground, it is the teaching of St. John Paul II that deserves partic­ular attention. On the basis of a specific view on human beings in their integral and social dimension, personalism for­mulates a characteristic vision of mar­riage and family. It emphasizes the un­derstanding of family as a communi­ty of people, it teaches of the specificity of a relationship between a man and a woman, which leads to a tradition­al way of defining marriage and fami­ly. Consideration of biological, psycho­logical and spiritual dimensions of the functioning of a human being triggers a complex approach towards family. This means that it is the basis for deter­mining rules of psychological and spiri­tual establishment of marriage and fam­ily bonds. It also concerns the way of raising children, at the same time be­coming a special place for personal up­bringing. Reminding and promoting the abovementioned understanding of fam­ily can be a means of preventing threats of the modern world. This means that it can prevent the destruction of a family, as well as any attempts to redefine mar­riage and family – present in current so­cial reality. It can influence the process of supporting marriage and family with regard to appropriate communication, dealing with marriage crisis and with upbringing children. The way to per­form those preventive and supporting actions should first of all be the period of preparation for marriage, in a broad and direct aspect. Apart from that, in­cluding it in the constant formation of families may constitute a specific form of protection.

Speakers of a Central-Malayo-Polynesian language, the Nage of central Flores possess three terms for ‘person, people’ and ‘human being’: ata, hoga, and kita ata. The paper explores various semantic and social contexts in which the terms are differentially employed. Further discussed are lexical connections and semantic parallels with terms in other Malayo-Polynesian languages and the way these bear on the referents of Austronesian protoforms. Particular attention is given to Blust’s reconstruction of *qa(R)(CtT)a (reflected by Nage ata) as a word hypothetically specifying ‘outsiders, alien people’. With reference to Nage and other languages of Flores, it is shown how, rather than a simple contrast of outsiders and own group, ata and hoga are employed to express a variety of kinds and degrees of association or disassociation between speaker and referent. In this connection further attention is given to: (1) the question of whether Nage terms for humans and compounds formed from these compose a taxonomy comparable to the taxonomic ordering of plants and animals commonly found in folk biological classifications, and (2) the relation between the terms denoting human beings and Nage categories translatable as ‘(non-human) animal’ and ‘spiritual being’.

In this respect, the concept of liberalism in Islamic Education is to place teachers and students in a harmonious relationship. This relationship is to create learning atmosphere which is based on the principle of democratic and two-way relationship.

The way human being “work” to earn their living has transformed over a period of time. There was a time when human beings used to go to work but now the work has come to the doorstep , in fact it has occupied its space in the bed room and on the dining table. We actually pack it as we go out for a family outing .It does not end there, research shows that we get the best of ideas to solve office problems ,when we are outing, trekking , watching TV but the organizations still have the same good, old attendance tracking system. The employers are still so conscious whether the knowledge employees show in the office and importantly, show on time. The researcher in this conceptual paper tries to unravel the features of modern and future work. He suggests a method which can be followed by organizations which can help themto track modern day knowledge work more effectively.

Nos dias atuais tornou-se claro o papel exercido pela religião cristã na fundamentação da cosmovisão ocidental. Sabemos que toda ruptura pressupõe continuidades. Assim, apesar de inúmeros pensadores afirmarem a impossibilidade de se conjugar modernidade e religião, no nosso caso o cristianismo, o que vemos são as religiões coexistirem com as demais instituições modernas. Não só as religiões mudaram, mas a própria modernidade não é a mesma. No tocante ao cristianismo a reflexão em torno da hermenêutica diversificou esta matriz, bem como revelou uma de suas características identitárias, possibilitando seu diálogo com o mundo moderno. Neste sentido o objetivo de nosso artigo é resgatar a dimensão hermenêutica do cristianismo mostrando como ela contribuiu para o diálogo desta matriz com as diversas modernidades. Nossa metodologia é bibliográfica e parte de um resgate histórico da interpretação cristã enquanto identidade e método e do confronto desta realidade com o período atual, para nós revelador de um novo estágio da modernidade. Por fim, pensamos que assim como a modernidade se tornou múltipla assumindo a pluralidade para si mesma, o cristianismo, como matriz religiosa que pretende oferecer sentido ao ser humano contemporâneo, só pode ser pensado dentro da pluralidade própria de nossos tempos. HERMENÉUTICA Y MODERNIDAD: EL RETORNO A UN CRISTIANISMO PROPOSICIONAL Hence, we know that every rupture presupposes continuitie. Thus, although many thinkers have affirmed about the impossibility of combining modernity and religion; Christianity as our point here, what we encounter is that religions coexist with other modern institutions. Not only the religions have changed, but also the modernity itself, has changed as well. Regarding Christianity, reflection on hermeneutics has diversified this matrix, as well as revealed one of its identity characteristics, allowing its dialogue with the modern world. Therefore, the objective of this our article, is to rescue the hermeneutic dimension of Christianity, showing the way how it contributed to the dialogical dimension of this matrix with the different modernities. Our methodology is based on the bibliographical and also historical in order to rescue the Christian interpretation as its identity and method to confront the reality. At the end, we just think that, as modernity has become multiple by having assumed plurality for itself, Christianity, as a religious matrix that intends to offer the meaning of life to the contemporary human being, can only be thought of within the proper plurality to our times.

The Leka Dukajini Code (LDC) influenced the way of life of Albanian population to a great extent. It represents a set of rules and norms by which they regulated their relations, and it is believed that they still do so presently as well to some extent. Taking into consideration that LDC includes almost all social, economic and moral spheres of life, this paper analyzes the fields which contribute to the familiarization with the conditions in which the Kosovo and Metohia population developed, such as the organization of the patriarchal family, marriage relations, the position of women, inheritance, and similar. The patriarchy with Albanians is still present today, especially in the villages, and here and there in towns, despite the escalated process of urbanization and industrialization. Manifestations of this patriarchal way of life are reflected through the maintenance of the institutions of family clans, whose characteristics are a large number of families, mutual property and production means, mutual production and consumption as well as communal living. A large number of authors believes that in the ethno-psyche of every Albanian there are still roots of will and sympathy towards clans. A clan is governed by its head, and his authority, although established on the interests of the group, presents limited individual freedom for the members of the family because it is expected from them to respect the will of the head of the family. Family clans in the eyes of others represents a secure way of life. Common law arose and developed under cruel life conditions, codified the way of life and in that way neglected individuality yet imposed the group, large families, solidarity and submissiveness to authority. The whole LDC is imbued with religious spirit, which is most obviously expressed with the institution of marriage. It also puts the woman in the worst position, who is not respected as a women, who has no right in decision making, and the more she neglected herself in interest of her husband, children and family, the more male children she gave birth to, the more she was respected in the family. Such discriminatory treatment of women is considered an integral part of the 'view' on life of Albanian society. In a life which brought little satisfaction to the woman, and much suffering, frustration, rejection and humiliation, the only meaning of life would represent giving birth and raising children. However, the following question is imposed: how much a woman, neglected, without influence outside the family, poorly educated and unprepared for life, is capable for the role of a mother. If she is the first tutor of the children, and in addition uneducated, how can education and progress be expected. It is also stated that the woman is regarded as the bearer, namely guardian of traditional values, although they are turned against herself. Women regard the innovations with great distrust and cautiousness and will accept it only if they are sure that they will not be responsible for endangering the continuity of the traditional way of life and interests of her relatives.

This paper deals with the Kundera’s most popular novel as a passionate dialogue with kitsch. The Unbearable Lightness of Being is based on the antinomy of lightness and heaviness, as well as kitsch and individuality. The narrator treats his characters as the experimental self and confronts them with the reality created on the cross-scheme of the aforementioned keywords. Kundera interprets the phenomenon of kitsch as a tool to create a totalitarian reality and enslave human beings, but also as something, that can be recognized and domesticated, and then comprises an inalienable part of a human being and its relation to the world. The essay also deals with the Kundera’s famous aversion to adapting his novels for film. He forbade any further film adaptations of his work, having disliked the way The Unbearable Lightness of Being was adapted by Philip Kaufman in 1988

Spinoza’s claim in Ethics 1 that there is a reason for whatever exists suggests to Michael Della Rocca that Spinoza is a kind of idealist: he makes everything available to reason. Other features of the Ethics emphasized by Edwin Curley suggest, however, that Spinoza is really a materialist: he explains finite individuals in corporeal terms. This chapter shows that reasons themselves, as Spinoza understands them, frequently are corporeal. If reason is what is important to Spinoza’s metaphysics, then there is also reason to conclude that body is what is important. Human beings are the subject of most of Spinoza’s explanations of finite individuals. In interpreting Spinoza’s claims about human beings and the way in which his general commitments in metaphysics apply to those explanations, the chapter depends upon finding in Spinoza a peculiar version of an ancient doctrine, on which the human being bears the image and likeness of God.

Value clarification only reflects and implicates in the gathering condition where all people are able to develop the value of respectness. Solidarity and interiority. Value clarification is the learning process that supports the value which is found in human being?óÔé¼Ôäós life including value of freedom. The point of value is in way of thinking, the way of attitudes, and the way of behaviour, either personal or together. Value clarification will make the students become more mature in finding and giving the positive value in their freedom. Progressivism philosophy is relevant to develop the value of clarification to the freedom of human beings in democration. Since there is an opinion of basic progressivism a value has a quality of social, besides progressivism giving pressure to the freedom of the students, progressivism also cares to the disipline of the students so they get advantages. Progressivism as the philosophy of education will get big problems in managing an education in a managed curriculum. Keyword : value clarification, freedom, democracy, progressivism

<div><p><strong>Abstract :</strong> This paper tries to compare between anthroposentrical paradigm and a theory of conservation called by ecocentrism, the theory try to combine the universal teachings of holy book and science on safeguarding of stable ecosystem of the world. By using thematic method (this method usually applied in investigating several contemporary problems belong to people in the term of contextualization of Holy Book’s message which in this case is al-Qur’an), and supporting by the scientific approach from East and West, this paper expounds the description of al-Qur’an on the concept of ecological ethics which encompassed in a theory which I call with ecohumanist-theocentric. This theory necessarily demands a harmonious inter-connection and interaction between human being and himself (ḥabl ma‘a nafsih), human being and other human beings (ḥabl ma‘a ikhwānih), human being and nature (ḥabl ma‘a bī’atih), human being and God (ḥabl ma‘a khāliqih).

Practical Recommendations

In the modern world, the value and the dignity of man, the value of life are very often placed in doubt, while consumer mentality, the glorification of freedom, subjection to egoism - achieve great measures. This situation has its negative reflection on education towards the respect of the socio-natural environment. Suggestions presented for pro-ecological education quite frequently concentrate on practical recommendations, which apply above all to the world of nature. Many a time the social dimension of this education and personalistic motivation are omitted. So, the uncovering of the value of pedagogical personalism for ecological education is especially important today. The reflection presented here shows that ecological education is close to the personalistic concept of education, and it is even immanently rooted in the aims and principles plotted by it. At the foundations of ecological education in personalism, we find the greatness and the dignity of the human being as a person. The .personalistic norm.) of pro-ecological education by no means depreciates other beings possessing autonomy and objective value. Between man and other beings, one can see close ties, relations of interdependence, common sharing of destiny. This is especially underlined in the Christian concept of personalism, which directs the whole of education in the Christ-centered direction.
