Russellian Monism

Panqualityism is based on the assumption that the intrinsic nature of all matter has something like phenomenal unexperienced qualities. Consciousness is formed by the awareness of some of these qualities. The type of panqualityism offered by the main proponent of this view today, S. Coleman, is the one considered in this article. His panqualityism is described as a version of Russellian monism, panpsychism or panprotopsychism, neutral monism as well as physicalism. As it is shown, panqualityism is close to all the above-mentioned views because of the unknowability of intrinsic properties of matter in Russellian monism, the view on which Coleman's panqualityism is based. However, the closest version of interpretation appears to be panprotopsychism, which also shows disadvan­tages of this theory. Coleman's panqualityism draws on the impossibility of the subject’s summing claim, but his concept of subject raises concerns, because of its vagueness. It is noted that the definition of the status of a subject to solve the combination problem is closely connected with approaches used to solve the personal identity problem and can be related to it.

The article deals with the theoretical aspects relating to reforms in the fundamental law of a State — Constitution. It is noted that the Constitution is a developing legal substance which is shaped by and dependent on the existing economic, political, social and even ideological situation; conservation of the basic law can cause both public tension, and also hamper the evolution of statehood. The author attends to the correlation of notions of “constitutional reform” and “change of the constitution”. Also analyzed are the approaches towards the definition of the term of constitutional reform which have been elaborated by the doctrine. It contains a detailed list of terminology which is used in the science of constitutional law and has a direct relevance to reformation of the constitution. Emphasis is made on the new trend in research in the science of constitutional law which reflects the two-sided approach — on the one hand, a factor of progress, and on the other hand, — may be viewed as a tool necessary to make public relations stable and dynamic. The article contains a list of model provisions for the present day constitution which potentially can be employed. It relates to the provisions of the constitution relating to the status of a person, also, economic, social and political systems, etc. Comparative law approach is applied to the contents of constitutional reforms of the XX and XXI centuries in various countries. It notes that a stable basic law of a country is a key symbol of a legal identity of a nation.

Proper Interpretation

AbstractThe legal treatment of disability affairs carries in itself an inherent contradiction due to the nature of modern society and free-market economy. On the one hand both the historically developed notions of essentialism and on the other the particular-functional definition of manhood drawing its roots from the established democratic order and market economics are present simultaneously. However, within the current order of things there is an unbridgeable divide between them. Nevertheless, with the progression of time there is a slow gradual shift discernible away from the functional definition with the parallel strengthening of the essentialist approach. This shift is further exaggerated by the more widespread acceptance of the rights of self-determination and the provision of opportunities for the disabled, the emergence of social self-determination in case of a population subgroup living under special conditions. For the proper interpretation of the currents in the evolution of legal treatment of disabled people it would be indispensable to institute a proper social-discourse analysis, which, however, exceeds in scope its narrowly defined task.

Status perkawinan merupakan salah satu persyaratan administrasi perkawinan di KUA yang wajib dicantumkan oleh kedua calon pengantin agar pernikahannya dapat diselenggarakan. Seseorang yang belum pernah menikah dianggap perawan/jejaka sedangkan yang sudah pernah menikah dianggap sudah janda/duda. Namun saat ini, kasus seks diluar pernikahan semakin merajalela dan banyak wanita yang hamil diluar pernikahan khususnya di Kota Malang. Sehingga, hal tersebut terdapat ketidakjelasan pada sebuah form status perkawinan yang harus diisi. Misalnya pada wanita yang hamil diluar pernikahan maka statusnya tetap yang dicantumkan adalah perawan. Oleh karenanya, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui interpretasi makna status perkawinan dalam administrasi perkawinan menurut KUA, apa konsekuensi hukum jika terjadi kebohongan status perkawinan, serta bagaimana menurut KUA di Kota Malang terhadap pemakanaan status perkawinan tersebut perspektif Maqāshid Syarī’ah. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian lapangan. Hasil penelitian ini, menunjukan bahwa terjadi perbedaan interpretasi perawan/jejaka dan janda/duda antara hukum Islam dan ketentuan administrasi perkawinan yang berdasarkan peraturan Undang-Undang perkawinan di Indonesia. Menurut KUA, status perkawinan mengacu pada identitas diri yang terdapat di KTP masing-masing. Akibat hukum bagi mereka yang berbohong atas status perkawinannya, maka perkawinannya dapat dibatalkan demi hukum oleh pihak yang berwenang. Interpretasi status perkawinan yang berdasarkan KTP, sesungguhnya telah sesuai dengan Maqashid syari’ah pada sektor Hifdz al-‘Irdhi. The inclusion of marital status is one of the requirements in Marriage Administrative at Religious Affairs Office (KUA) that should be fulfilled for the future bride/groom to perform marriage. The one who has not married considered as virgin/bachelor while the one who has married considered as widow/widower. Based on todays phenomenon, married by accident has become well known thing and there are many women who are pregnant without even married, especially in Malang. Thus, there is a lack of clarity on the form of marital status that must be filled. For example, for women who are pregnant out of wedlock, the status listed is a virgin. Therefore, this study aims to find out the interpretation of marital status meaning in marriage administration according to KUA, how the law effect for marital status untruth according to KUA, and how the view of KUA through the marital status meaning in marital administrative based on Maqashid Sharia perspective. The research is field research. The result of the research shows that: different interpretation of virgin/bachelor and widow/widower happen between Islamic law and marriage administration provision which is based on the marriage rule of law in Indonesia. According to KUA, marital status refers to the personal identity that is shown in their personal identity card. The law effect for those who falsify their marital status from thier personal identity card, the marriage can be canceled for the sake of law by the authorities party The interpretation of marriage status that is based on personal identity card, indeed appropriate with Maqashid Sharia in Hifdz al-‘Irdhi sector.

Methodological Aspects

This article analyses some categorical and methodological aspects of the problem of identity in the contemporary discourse of the humanities. The paper is relevant, on the one hand, due to the extreme heuristic significance of the concept of identity for studying various aspects of variability and stability in the development of sociocultural subjects and, on the other hand, due to numerous disputes over the essence of this construct and the limits of its application. The integral nature of the phenomenon of identity leads to the need to develop a methodological and conceptual apparatus that would provide a productive version of interdisciplinary interaction, a synthesis of psychological, cultural and historical approaches. Having scrutinized a number of modern psychological and cultural approaches to studying personal identity, the authors conclude that contemporary research on the problem of identity follows the trend of the integrative, systems analysis. The integrative analysis allows us to create a complete picture of the process of self-identification and at the same time trace in detail and describe its individual aspects. The combination of the axiological and the activity concepts of culture within the framework of the synthetic approach allows us to formulate a definition of identity as a sociocultural and social group integration, which forms an individual’s sociocultural subjectivity. The concept of identity as a synthetic theoretical and methodological construct maintains the focus of research attention on the fundamental and irremovable integration of a person into the cultural space, while allowing other options and methods for such an entry. The proposed concept of personal identity in the integrative version is considered as a kind of synthetic methodology, which is a productive way of developing an identity theory and can become a prerequisite for overcoming an identity crisis in cognitive and value aspects.

Transvolga Region

This article focuses on the participation Bashkirs took in the development of Transvolga Region. The lands in Samara Province were the most western ones in Russia where the Bashkir population lived compactly. Historical studies of the region and the population living there between the eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth centuries refer to documents of central and local archives, manuscripts of the Russian National Library, etc. Critical analysis of sources and historiography and the application of modern techniques of local and ethnic history allows the author not only to solve research problems, but also look at the past while constructing historical and cultural memory. In the “imperial period”, the problem of correlating the ethnic and local history was complicated by the resettlement of peoples in different territories over considerable distances. The transformation of Volga Region into an internal Samara province of the empire, on the one hand, was due to the mobilisation of part of the estates of Bashkir lands, which occurred both forcibly and voluntarily. On the other hand, the loss by the Bashkirs of mostly remote and underutilised Transvolga estates was compensated for by receiving the status of a military service class, the presence of self-government, and the possibility of modernising the economy, culture, and life. As a result, the territories of the ethnos’s settlement were preserved and expanded, its undoubted numerical growth took place, amounting to more than a tenfold increase over two centuries nationwide. In the middle of the nineteenth century, about 50 thousand Bashkirs lived in Transvolga Region. The author provides a definition of the “imperial people” on the basis of active participation in the genesis of the empire, especially in the process of including “peripheral lands”. The Bashkirs are certainly an “imperial people” and Samara Transvolga Region is one of the “peripheral lands” included in the economic, political, and multicultural space of the Russian Empire, which was important for the further development of the entire multi-ethnic country.

Οὐσία chez Numénius: une notion qui s’élabore progressivement. Analyse des difficultés relatives à l’οὐσία et à l’ἰδέα dans les fragments 22 F, 24 F et 28 F (fr. 14, 16 et 20 dP)

Οὐσία in Numenius: a notion which is progressively elaborated: Analysis of the difficulties linked to οὐσία and ἰδέα in fragments 22 F, 24 F and 28 F (fr. 14, 16 et 20 dP). In the Περὶ τἀγαθοῦ, Numenius refines his definition of οὐσία step by step. He uses the word at first as a synonym of τὸ ὄν (15 F) and as another designation of being. Then, he associates it to the ἕξις when he refers to the specific οὐσία which possesses science (22 F): in all likelihood, this οὐσία is the intellect as the essence common to God and Man in the possession of science. Finally, Numenius gives οὐσία two aspects or sides which, in our opinion, represent two manners of conceiving the intelligible it constitutes: on the one hand, οὐσία comes from Being itself (the Good) and seems to represent the eidetic predicates or what we could name the “fundamental intelligibility”, a state in which the form is not determined yet, but which gives it the status of a real being ; on the other hand, οὐσία is the product of the second god and intellect and the determined aspect of the previous one, which makes it possible to distinguish the forms one from the other. In this last case, Numenius seems to name οὐσία more specifically ἰδέα, even if both words are elsewhere synonymous and used to refer to the two aspects previously mentioned according to the context in which they are employed. The paper presents the analysis of fragments 22 F, 24 F and 28 F from which we arrive at this interpretation. The distinction between two manners of conceiving οὐσία makes it possible then to discover two levels in the Being at the origin of each of them: Being itself (αὐτοόν which is the Good itself, αὐτοάγαθον) and the ≪second≫ or ≪just≫ Being, constituted by the good demiurge which is probably the “One who is good par excellence”. From there, two ways of conceiving ἰδέα also appear: on the one hand, ἰδέα is synonymous with οὐσία, then it refers to the second aspect of οὐσία, the determined one; on the other hand, it can also refer to the level of Being which is the Good when, in fragment 28 F, it is conceived as a form and probably as the Form par excellence identified with the intellect which this Good is itself.

The present article aims to clear up three different, though connected, questions: 1st. The significance of the double definition of ‘accident’ in the Topics. 2nd. The significance of the distinction be tween two types of accident (‘strict’ accident and per se accident) in the Posterior Analytics and in the Metaphysics, namely in its alleged relationship with the double definition of ‘accident’ in the Topics. 3rd. The meaning of per se accidents within the framework of the predicables, namely from the point of view of its putative identification with propria predicates. In the course of the analysis, the answers given to these three questions are the following (in inverse order to their presentation): 1. By definition, the same predicate can never be a per se accident and a proprium, except incidentally, namely when regarded ‘at a certain moment’ (pote) or ‘in relation to something else’ (pros ti). In fact, despite Aristotle’s silence about the status of per se accidents within the framework of the predicables, they have there its own peculiar logical location, namely under the first definition of ‘accident’. 2. The distinction between ‘strict’ accident and per se accident, on the one hand, and the double definition of ‘accident’, on the other, do not coalesce, though they partially overlap. The second definition of ‘accident’ in the Topics subsumes only ‘strict ’ accidents, while the first definition is generally valid for ‘strict’ accidents and per se accidents. 3. As far as an educated guess can go on historical matters, we can suppose that the second definition of ‘accident’ was conceived by Aristotle to cover the only kind of accidents recognised by him when writing the Topics, while, by that time, the first definition was thought merely as a alternative negative definition. However, it is the schema provided by the first definition that allows a precise technical definition of the two types of accidents, which nowhere can be found in Aristotle texts. In the final part of the article, we try to reconstruct this technical definition.

Abstract. The article discusses the emergence of a functional literacy construct and the rediscovery of illiteracy in industrialized countries during the second half of the 20th century. It offers a short explanation of how the construct evolved over time. In addition, it explores how functional (il)literacy is conceived differently by research discourses of cognitive and neural studies, on the one hand, and by prescriptive and normative international policy documents and adult education, on the other hand. Furthermore, it analyses how literacy skills surveys such as the Level One Study (leo.) or the PIAAC may help to bridge the gap between cognitive and more practical and educational approaches to literacy, the goal being to place the functional illiteracy (FI) construct within its existing scale levels. It also sheds more light on the way in which FI can be perceived in terms of different cognitive processes and underlying components of reading. By building on the previous work of other authors and previous definitions, the article brings together different views of FI and offers a perspective for a needed operational definition of the concept, which would be an appropriate reference point for future educational, political, and scientific utilization.

Over Time

This chapter examines the difference between John Locke's definition of a person [P], considered as a kind of thing, and his definition of a subject of experience of a certain sophisticated sort [S]. It first discusses the equation [P] = [S], where [S] is assumed to be a continuing thing that is able to survive radical change of substantial realization, as well as Locke's position about consciousness in relation to [P]'s identity or existence over time as [S]. It argues that Locke is not guilty of circularity because he is not proposing consciousness as the determinant of [S]'s identity over time, but only of [S]'s moral and legal responsibility over time. Finally, it suggests that the terms “Person” and “Personal identity” pull apart, in Locke's scheme of things, but in a perfectly coherent way.

This is the first of two chapters discussing the most notorious problem facing Russellian monism: the combination problem. This is actually a family of difficulties, each reflecting the challenge of how to make sense of everyday human and animal experience intelligibly arising from more fundamental conscious or protoconscious features of reality. Key challenges facing panpsychist and panpsychist forms of Russellian monism are considered. With respect to panprotopsychism, there is the worry that it collapses into noumenalism: the view that human beings, by their very nature, are unable to understand the concrete, categorical nature of matter. With respect to panpsychism, there is the subject-summing problem: the difficulty making sense of how micro-level conscious subjects combine to produce macro-level conscious subjects. A solution to the subject-summing problem is proposed, and it is ultimately argued that panpsychist forms of the Russellian monism are to be preferred on grounds of simplicity and elegance.
