Reasonable Answers

In the history of thought, defending human rights and freedom, positivist and materialist views are critical of religion in general and Islam in particular. Islam as a divine religion with its theoretical and practical dimensions has been the guarantor of human rights. Positivist and materialist views on every occasion ready to blame and identify the Islamic concept of servitude (to God) with slavery. But if we examine Islam in-depth with a philosophical mind, we can see that the Islamic concept of devotional servitude accommodates genuine freedom which intends to protect the health of both the body and the soul. Positivist and materialist minds consider the issue of human rights as their own, and religious sides approach this issue reluctantly due to the rhetoric of human rights devoid of religious rhetoric. Finding reasonable answers to the questions of what the source of human honor is and what makes human being meaningful will bring closer to each other the positivist/materialist views and religious views.

"Human Rights are legal and social principle the society of human being. The concept of human rights is old as the history of mankind. Infact rights and obligations are compulsory for the balance of society. These reciprocal responsibilities give the strength of society. The west has no concept of human rights before the seventeenth century. In the 20th century the western society made a declaration of human rights. But in Islam human rights granted by Almighty Allah. This article aimed for the above discussion."

Platonic Theory

Probably no philosopher of antiquity has occasioned more daring speculations and the expression of graver doubts than Posidonius. On the one hand it has been argued that he was purely a man of science and hardly a Stoic philosopher at all. On the other hand he has been called the first and greatest Stoic mystic who under Oriental influence spurned the body as vile and earthly. Reinhardt has of late years resolutely maintained that the importance of Posidonius in the history of thought lies in his having originated a completely new Vitalism, and that his conception of the world is one in which ‘Subjekt und Objekt, Geist und Wissen, Mensch und Gott, νος und ζω durch eine im Bewusstsein neu erwachte Kraft sich einen und durchdringen: durch die “Sympathie.”’ Among other German scholars Geffcken holds that Plotinus borrowed much from Posidonius, and Jaeger roundly declares that if Posidonius had but found a place for the Platonic Ideas, there would have been nothing left for Plotinus to find. Schmekel and Bréhier have both stated that modifying the Platonic Theory of Ideas Posidonius established an identification between the Ideas and the Spermatic Logoi of Stoicism.

This chapter discusses Judah Loew's views on perfection. In developing his notion of the centrality of man, Loew drew from the anthropocentric views of his predecessors in the history of Jewish thought; his ideas seem rooted in Jewish mystical speculation. Man's perfection is essential for the realization of the cosmos. According to Judah Loew, man both reflects and embodies the three dimensions of reality. The three aspects of man—intellect (seikhel), soul (nefesh), and body (guf)—correspond to the three worlds: celestial, intermediary, and terrestrial. Therefore, to understand Judah Loew's notion of man, one must consider the three aspects of existence and their representations in man. The goal of the human being must be the purification of his body, of his matter, in order for it to coexist with the soul (nefesh). The chapter then looks at the perfection of the body, the soul, and the intellect.

O conceito de “alma”, no curso da história da teologia, foi visto em um horizonte mais psicológico racional do que propriamente como elemento da antropologia teológica. A alma, considerada a parte excelsa da constituição ontológica, era vista como o princípio intelectivo do ser humano. Por motivos escatológicos, historicamente houve um primado da alma sobre o corpo. No entanto, a visibilidade histórica que a alma conquistou não a privou de passar por um desgate em seu conteúdo (uso excessivo de termos para nomeá-la, redução do ser humano à sua dimensão física etc), um silenciamento (excesso de valorização do corpo) e uma secularização (reduzida à mente humana). A alma humana tem sido redescoberta nas últimas décadas com um novo sentido e conteúdo: fundamento da singularidade, da especificidade, do valor, da dignidade e da vocação humana para o Transcendente. É o desejo de comunhão com o Eterno.Abstract: The concept of the soul, in the course of the history of theological, was seen in more psychological rational horizon than as a component of theological anthropology. The soul, considered the sublime part of the ontological constitution was seen as intellective principle of human being. For eschatological reasons, historically there was a rule of the soul over the body. However, the historical visibility that the soul has conquered not deprived of going through a wear for your content (overuse of terms to name et, reducing the human being to its physical dimension). A silencing (excess valuation of body) and a secularization (reduced to the human mind). The human soul has been rediscovered in recent decades with a new meaning and content: foundation of uniqueness, value, dignity of the human vocation to the transcendent. It is the desired communion with the eternal.Palavras-chave: Soul. Singularity. Axiology. Ontology. Human being.

The existing state of human beings, to which the present international movement for human rights addresses itself, is no reason for applause for the success of that movement. It is true that there are several reasons for the lack of success and not all blame is to be borne by the deficiencies in the present approach. True also is the fact that the struggle for protection of the human being from excesses of the state or powerful elements within society is a continuing saga of organized society with only the promise that the struggle and its causes have more of an enduring existence than the various efforts for seeking protection for the human being attempted in the history of mankind, of which human-rights is one instance. However, to the extent it is legitimate to explore if improvements in the present approach are possible, one might well be permitted to raise anew questions about the philosophical foundation for human rights and the pragmatic approach to their achievement.

“Primato dell’essere umano” e principio di autonomia nella Convenzione di Oviedo / “Primacy of the human being” and autonomy principle in the Oviedo Convention

Freedom And Responsibility

A prescindere dalle difficoltà incontrate nella costruzione di un quadro normativo comune sui diritti umani nel campo della biomedicina in Europa, la Convenzione di Oviedo ha raggiunto notevoli risultati a livello bioetico. In particolare, il «primato dell’essere umano» dell’art. 2 è un concetto fondamentale e complesso, con importanti implicazioni nella riflessione bioetica odierna. Da questa riflessione è possibile desumere la distinzione concettuale tra “diritto del corpo” e “diritto sul corpo”, riguardo alla quale la Convenzione appare più orientata verso il principio di beneficialità nel salvaguardare il “diritto del corpo”, piuttosto che verso un’affermazione incondizionata del principio di autonomia individuale e di un correlativo “diritto sul corpo”. Una conferma dell’equilibrio perseguìto dalla Convenzione su libertà e responsabilità, nonché tra autonomia e beneficialità, è offerta dall’art. 9, in cui si afferma che occorre prendere in considerazione, ma non necessariamente rispettare, i desideri espressi in precedenza dal paziente. ---------- Regardless of the difficulties encountered in building a common regulatory framework for the protection of human rights in the biomedical field in Europe, the Oviedo Convention has achieved remarkable results at the bioethics level. In particular, the «primacy of the human being» in article 2 is a fundamental and complex concept, with important implications in today’s bioethical reflection. From this reflection it’s possible to draw the conceptual distinction between “right of the body” and “right on the body”, about which the Convention appears more oriented towards the beneficence principle in safeguarding the “right of the body”, than towards an unconditional affirmation of individual autonomy principle and of a correlative “right on the body”. Article 9 provides a confirmation of the equilibrium pursued by the Convention on freedom and responsibility, as well as between autonomy and beneficence, stating that the wishes previously expressed by the patient shall be taken into account, but do not necessarily have to be respected.

Mind-Brain Analogies

The Brain

In the history of thought the relation between the mind and the body has been discussed in terms of various analogies. Plato, for example, examined the analogy of a man and his clothes and of the music of an instrument and the instrument itself; Aristotle advocated the analogy of an instrument's capacity and the instrument itself; Descartes alluded to that of a pilot and his ship; and Ryle derided that of a ghost and a machine.What I wish to discuss, however, are the analogies used by contemporary philosophers to explain their theory that the mind is the brain, that the mind's states, capacities and qualities are the brain's states, capacities and qualities, that our thoughts and our thinking are brain elements and brain movements and that our mental experiences, such as having images or sensations, are brain processes. Various analogies have been advanced to explain the sense in which one of the former is one of the latter.

An important problem of religious studies, the history of religion as a branch of knowledge is the periodization process of the development of religious phenomenon. It is precisely here, as in focus, that the question of the essence and meaning of the religious development of the human being of the world, the origin of beliefs and cult, the reasons for the changes in them, the place and role of religion in the social and spiritual process, etc., are converging.
