I will analyse Descartes? role in the ?theological turn? of French phenomenology. Although in Husserl?s phenomenology the Cartesian cogito was the central element, in the phenomenologists of the ?theological turn? (Janicaud) it was exchanged for the idea of the infinite. I examine why Marion and L?vinas are interested in the Cartesian idea of the infinite. In the phenomenology of Marion this idea is interpreted as a ?conceptual icon? and a ?saturated phenomenon? ,in the phenomenology of L?vinas this idea represents the structure that provides the possibility of the phenomenological description of transcendence. In order to see if Marion and L?vinas turn back to the onto-theological tradition of the metaphysics, like Janicaud affirms, we have to see how Descartes describes 31 the idea of infinite and how Marion and L?vinas interpret it.

In the context of holistic nursing care, psychological care for physically ill people is a central element. Yet nurses often find it difficult to elucidate the precise meaning of the concept. Evidence from the literature confirms that, although there is some consensus, there is a general lack of clarity regarding the nature and experience of providing psychological care. This phenomenological study aimed to illuminate both the nature of the concept and the experience for nurses in caring for their patients’ psychological needs. It culminates in a phenomenological description of psychological care that may provide a platform for future research.

Abstract:The sharing of knowledge worldwide using hypermedia facilities and fast communication protocols (i.e., Mosaic and World Wide Web) provides a growth capacity with tremendous versatility and efficacy. The example of ExPASy, a molecular biology server developed at the University Hospital of Geneva, is striking. ExPASy provides hypermedia facilities to browse through several up-to-date biological and medical databases around the world and to link information from protein maps to genome information and diseases. Its extensive access is open through World Wide Web. Its concept could be extended to patient data including texts, laboratory data, relevant literature findings, sounds, images and movies. A new hypermedia culture is spreading very rapidly where the international fast transmission of documents is the central element. It is part of the emerging new “information society”.

The paper considers monitoring of environmental change as the central element of environmental regulation. Monitoring, as each kind of principalagent relations, easily gives rise to corruptive behavior. In the paper we analyze economic models of environmental monitoring with high costs, incomplete information and corruption. These models should be the elements of environmental economics and are needed to create an effective system of nature protection measures.

Abstractthe paper continues the research started in the paper “Conception and fabrication using knowledge management principles”. The theoretical guidelines found in the mentioned paper crystallises at a practical level in an original product – a software solution. The proposed solution has as a central element notion concerning the design and manufacturing of straight axes in the automotive industry. The application field for the proposed example regards the educational area; the software guides the user by theoretical concepts, examples, problems through practical aspects concerning the design and manufacturing of a part belonging to the axes family specific to the automotive industry. The software was developed using the Access work environment.

In classical philosophy of time, present time mainly has been considered in its fleetingness: it is transition, in the Platonic meaning of the sudden or in the Aristotelian sense of discreet moment and isolated intensity that escapes possible perception. Through the idea of subjective constitution of time, Husserl’s phenomenology tries to spread the moment. He transcends the idea of linear and empty time in modern philosophy. Phenomenological description of time experience analyses the filled character of the moment that can be detained in the performance of consciousness. As a consequence of the temporality of consciousness, he nevertheless remains in the temporal conception of presence. The phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty, however, is able to grasp the spacial meaning of presence. In his perspective of a phenomenology of perception, presence can be understood as a space surrounding the body, as a field of present things given in perception. Merleau-Ponty recovers the ancient sense of ‘praesentia’ as a fundamental concept of being in the world.

Данная работа посвящена исследованию процессов глубокого анизотропного травления кремния. В качестве предложенных методов были проанализированы два подхода - Bosch и Cryo. Представлено феноменологическое описание вышеупомянутых методов, проведен анализ эксперимента по криогенному травлению кремния, полученный на базе ФТИАН, также предложена аналитическая модель Cryo-процесса. This work is devoted to the study of the processes of deep anisotropic silicon etching. Two approaches (Bosch and Cryo) have been analyzed as proposed methods. The phenomenological description of the above mentioned methods has been presented, the analysis of the experiment on cryogenic etching of silicon obtained on the basis of FTIAN has been carried out, as well as an analytical model of Cryo process has been proposed.

This chapter reviews Dreyfus’s hermeneutical methodology, and the constant interplay between phenomenological description and textual interpretation in his work. It explains why Dreyfus always philosophizes in a kind of dialogue with thinkers in the history of philosophy, and how he interprets these thinkers in such a way as to illuminate through their works contemporary problems in philosophy. It then offers a theory of Dreyfus’s understanding of practices, before reviewing the concept of a background practice as it functions in Dreyfus’s work. For Dreyfus, the background practices embodied in a culture are the key to making sense of the understanding of being that grounds a world.

Hubert L. Dreyfus

Hubert Dreyfus is one of the foremost advocates of European philosophy in the anglophone world. His clear, jargon-free interpretations of the leading thinkers of the European tradition of philosophy have done a great deal to erase the analytic–Continental divide. But Dreyfus is not just an influential interpreter of Continental philosophers; he is a creative, iconoclastic thinker in his own right. Drawing on the work of Heidegger, Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Foucault, and Kierkegaard, Dreyfus makes significant contributions to contemporary conversations about mind, authenticity, technology, nihilism, modernity and postmodernity, art, scientific realism, and religion. This volume collects thirteen of Dreyfus’s most influential essays, each of which interprets, develops, and extends the insights of his predecessors working in phenomenological and existential philosophy. The essays exemplify a distinctive feature of his approach to philosophy, namely the way his work inextricably intertwines the interpretation of texts with his own analysis and description of the phenomena at issue. In fact, these two tasks—textual exegesis and phenomenological description—are for Dreyfus necessarily dependent on each other. In approaching philosophy in this way, Dreyfus is an heir to Heidegger’s own historically oriented style of phenomenology.

In this chapter, Brady argues in favour of a desire view of unpleasantness, which is the central element of suffering. He considers, and rejects, distinctive feeling theories of unpleasantness, and then proposes a novel desire view, according to which unpleasantness is a relational property, constituted by having a sensation that we desire to cease. In the chapter he defends this view against the most important objections, he then goes on to show how this view is preferable to rival views, and he ends by explaining how this view of unpleasantness, and the view of suffering given in Chapter 1, are mutually supporting.
