The relation of human life and nature has been unbroken with the creation of the earth, human has consumed everything obtained from nature for his livelihood and entertainment, on the one hand he receives food, shelter and clothes from nature and on the other hand nature Seeing the scenes and portraying them by the artists is an incredible feeling of peace. Nature, river, trees, plants, mountains and animal birds are all depicted in the paintings painted by the artists first and the color, Tulika, the material that is helpful in drawing them, is also derived from nature. The artists first used colors from nature in their artwork. In tribal folk art, natural colors have been used in Mandana, Phad, Alpana, Madhubani etc. These colors are sometimes made with stones, flowers and leaves. The nature of the forms that we are attracted to and which gives us joy, is not just a replica of the art, but the art forms have been created by being influenced and transformed by the basis of those forms. We rejoice which has no meaning. Only his visceral figure leaves his mark. But the desire for analogy and meaning in some form remains in the picture. The waterfalls, the river, the sea attracts the frequency of the lines in the thick stem of the stem. ' मानव जीवन और प्रकृति का संबध पृथ्वी की रचना के साथ अटूट रहा है, मानव ने प्रकृति से प्राप्त सभी चीजों का उपभोग अपने जीवनयापन और मनोरंजन के लिये किया है, एक ओर उसे प्रकृति से भोजन, आवास और वस्त्र प्राप्त होता है तो दूसरी ओर प्रकृति के दृश्यों को देखकर और कलाकारों के द्वारा चित्रित कर शान्ति की अदभूत अनुभूति होती है। सर्वप्रथम कलाकारों द्वारा जो चित्र चित्रित किये गये उनमें प्रकृति चित्रण नदी, पेड़, पौधे, पर्वत और पशु पक्षी सभी चित्रित किये गये तथा इन्हें चित्रित करने में सहायक सामग्री रंग, तुलिका वह भी प्रकृति से प्राप्त होती है। सर्वप्रथम कलाकारों ने प्रकृति से प्राप्त रंगों का उपयोग अपनी कलाकृति में किया। आदिवासी लोक कला में माण्डना, फड़, अल्पना, मधुबनी आदि में प्राकृतिक रंगों का उपयोग किया गया है। ये रंग कभी कभी पत्थरों , फूलों तथा पत्त्यिों से बनाए जाते है। प्रकृतिमें जिन रूपों की ओर हम आकर्षित होते है तथा जो हमें आनन्द प्रदान करते है, उनकी प्रतिकृति मात्र कला नहीं है उन रूपों का आधार लेकर उनसे प्रभावित होकर तथा उनका रूपांतरण करके कलाकृतियों का निर्माण होता रहा है।‘प्रकृति में अनेक ऐसी आकृतियांे को देखकर हम आनन्दित होते है जिनका कोई अर्थ नहीं होता है। केवल उनकी चाक्षुष आकृति अपनी छाप छोड़ती है। किन्तु चित्र में किसी रूप में सादृश्य की तथा अर्थ की इच्छा बनी रहती है। झरने, नदी, समुद्र में मोटे तने के काठ में रेखाओं की आवृत्ति आकर्षित करती है।‘

The notion of complexity — as in “education is a complex system” — has two different meanings. On the one hand, there is the epistemic connotation, with “Complex” meaning “difficult to understand, hard to control”. On the other hand, complex has a technical meaning, referring to systems composed of many interacting components, the interactions of which lead to self organization and emergence. For agents, participating in a complex system such as education, it is important that they can reduce the epistemic complexity of the system, in order to allow them to understand the system, to accomplish their goals and to evaluate the results of their activities. We argue that understanding, accomplishing and evaluation requires the creation of simplex systems, which are praxis-based forms of representing complexity. Agents participating in the complex system may have different kinds of simplex systems governing their understanding and praxis. In this article, we focus on three communities of agents in education — educators, researchers and policymakers — and discuss characteristic features of their simplex systems. In particular, we focus on the simplex system of educational researchers, and we discuss interactions — including conflicts or incompatibilities — between their simplex systems and those of educators and policymakers. By making some of the underlying features of the educational researchers’ simplex systems more explicit – including the underlying notion of causality and the use of variability as a source of knowledge — we hope to contribute to clarifying some of the hidden conflicts between simplex systems of the communities participating in the complex system of education.

The present article has two objectives. One is to elucidate the philosophical approach presented in the so-called Strahov Systematic Manuscripts of Jan Patočka in terms of consciousness and nature. The other is to compare this philosophical approach with Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s theses on nature, as elaborated in 1956–1961, and to point out some advantages and limitations of both approaches. In our opinion, Patočka’s philosophical approach consists, on the one hand, in a descriptive analysis of human experience, which he understands as a pre-reflective self-relationship pointing towards the consciousness of the world. On the other hand, on the basis of this descriptive analysis Patočka consequently explicates all non-human life, inorganic matter, and finally the whole of nature as life in its own right, the essence of which is also a certain self-relation with a tendency towards consciousness. The article then briefly presents Merleau-Ponty’s theses on nature, and finally compares them with Patočka’s overall theses on nature. The advantage of Patočka’s notion of nature as against Merleau-Ponty’s is that, in Patočka’s view, nature encompasses both the principle of unity and individuality. On the other hand, the advantage of Merleau-Ponty’s understanding of nature as against Patočka’s lies in the consistent interconnectedness of the infinite life of nature and the finite life of individual beings.

AbstractThe trend toward the concept of humanity in political theory has arisen largely as a reaction against the mistreatment of vulnerable people such as immigrants. The issue of immigrants’ vulnerability has led political thinkers to ponder on how to apply the principle of humanity to the question of the treatment of immigrants. I would like to address this matter by examining two questions: what is humanity, is it a value property, or a virtue? Does it really matter if the means by which an immigrant immigrates is demeaning to his own humanity as a person? The most common or intuitive reply to these questions would probably be: ‘humanity’ is simply a value-bestowing property, so regardless of immigrants’ actions they are owed respectful treatment. The aim of this paper is to emphasise instead that ‘humanity’ should be conceived as a virtue of actual commitment to act on moral principles. I explore three different meanings of humanity. First, I discuss ‘humanity’ as the common ownership of the earth. Second, I discuss ‘humanity’ as a value property. Third, I discuss humanity as a virtue of acting, on the one hand, with humanity, and on the other hand, on moral principles.

In order to obtain the best possible seismic field record, it is indispensible on the one hand to know the response of the earth to the explosion, and on the other hand to operate the seismograph equipment with suitable settings.

Contemporary researchers of local communities and human societies face a new and difficult task today. It is, on the one hand, related to the great interest in this topic and the difficulty of creating a new concept that would fully exhaust the scope of phenomena observed presently in local communities and human societies. On the other hand, the character of changes that have gained momentum in the first decade of the 21st century, and the description of their sources, become particularly difficult to describe and name. The present article is an attempt at an indication of the need of an evolution of perception on societal reality and the emerging new social issues. Contemporary paedagogy attempts to write about the necessity of awareness/ education related to the needs of establishment of local communities and the creation of bonds as a response to processes related to social life in times of globalisation. It is a fact that we are presently dealing with a change in the forms and character of local communities.

Innovation in creating consumer values as an important factor in socio-economic selection making  Consumption concerns many aspects of human life in both material and non-material dimensions. It shapes the attitude towards the family, spare time management, religion or culture. It sets the shape of our dreams, desires and life aspirations. On the one hand, it affects the system of our values, on the other hand, it is inspired by this system. Opponents of consumption, treating it as a secondary value and value in itself, accuse it of leading to the development of such phenomena as: mass entertainment, commercialization of culture or devel­opment of quite unnecessary, apparent needs. Instead, it removes the values generally respected in so­ciety, such as: interest in the fate of others, solidarity, care for the environment or the future of next gen­erations. Today’s consumer is not a mindless human being subject to the rules of the market, they are increasingly educated, aware and responsible. They make choices based not only on their own needs but based on values existing in a given society. They purchase wisely and respectfully, remembering that today’s choices will be the legacy for future generations, thus the consumer’s interest must be synchronized with these generations. Nowadays, it is the consumer who creates the image of the company, forcing it to take ethical and moral actions, and also heading for conscious consumption. Such an attitude creates the opportunity to include the consumer in the processes of companies’ activities and their innovations, as well as treating them personally and more like a partner. In the realities of the new economic, political, and social system, new values of individuals, as well as of entire social groups associated with the behaviour of consumers of the modern world are developing. Consumption, on the one hand, determines the shape of dreams, desires and the way of life. On the other hand, based on an innovative approach to it, it performs a symbolic function that gives a deeper and wider perspective to existing products, emphasizing them as exceeding their useful functions. Consumers becoming more aware of their choices take into account not only the system of their own values but also the values existing in a given society. This innovative approach to consumption creates new quality, a new lifestyle, it shapes new roles, it draws attention to the environment around us, and it cares about the sensible use of its resources and its means. Following values in the selection of products reveals responsibility connected to decision making, its impact on the environment and on entire social groups. They allow the individual to real­ize themselves in the group and the human community, they enable human development, achieving customer satisfaction, and avoiding the plundering economy.

Аннотация. Статья посвящена экстралингвистическому исследованию обрядов, связанных с водой в русской и кыргызской культурах. Обряды сопутствуют многим событиям жизни человека, отражают национальный характер, являются частью культуры народа. Лингвокультурологический анализ обрядовой лексики показал, что в русской и кыргызской культурах существует двойственное отношение к воде: с одной стороны, вода жизненно необходима, а с другой, вода как стихия - разрушительна. В статье отмечается, что обряды и традиции народа отражают все этапы жизни человека: от рождения и до кончины. Подчеркивается, что обрядовая лексика, репрезентирующая концепт «вода», широко представлена как в русском, так и в кыргызском языках. Ключевые слова: обряд, традиция, лингвокультура, концепт, ритуал, текст, концептосфера, менталитет, ментальность, Аннотация. Макалада орус жана кыргыз маданиятындагы суу менен байланышкан ырым-жырымдар экстралингвистикалык өӊүттөн изилдөөгө алынат. Ырым- жырымдар адамды өмүр бою коштоп жүрөт, улуттук мүнөзүн чагылдырып элдин маданиятынын орчундуу бөлүгүн түзүп турат. Ырым-жырымдык лексикага лингво-маданияттык талдоо жүргүзүүнүн натыйжасында орус жана кыргыз маданиятында сууга эки тараптуу мамиле бар экени анык болду: биринчиси − суусуз өмүр жок, экинчиси – суу кыйратуучу элемент. Элдин ырым-жырымдары жана үрп-адаттары адамдын бүтүндөй өмүрүн чагылдырып турат. "Суу" концептисин чагылдырган ырым-жырымдык лексика кыргыз тилинде да, орус тилинде да кеӊири колдонулат. Түйүндүү сөздөр: ырым-жырымдар, каада-салт, лингвомаданият, концепт, жөрөлгө, текст, концепттик чөйрө, менталитет, менталдык. Annotation. The article is dedicated to extralinguistic research.

The strange words in the glorious Qur’an, called ‘gharib’ words, are one of the most important examples of linguistic and rhetoric Qur’an inimitability. It materializes the very limits of the Arabs to understand some originally Arabic words in the Qur’an. With the increasing of Qur’anic studies on the one hand, and the spreading of Islam into non-Arabic nations on the other hand, the science of gharib appeared, and gave birth to the creation of gharib glossaries, which started from the time of Sahaba, and which still continues to exist so far. This study tackles the following problematic: “What are the motives of gharib glossaries creation? And what are the main differences in their creation? The study assumes that there are some motives for the creation of gharib glossaries, and some differences in their creation. The study adopts a descriptive and comparative method to describe motives and compare differences. The main results of this theoretical study shows that the motives of creating gharib glossaries lie in rooting gharib science, serving and understanding Qur’an, and serving and enriching Arab language, while the differences lie in the method of ordering gharib words, the method of explaining gharib words, the method of entitling gharib glossaries, and the method of creation between gharib and exegesis scholars. The study aims at highlighting the importance and the specificity of gharib science, and thus, showing the importance of gharib glossaries, so as to facilitate the research process therein, and insist on the necessity of concerting efforts to promote their creation. The study gives roots to gharib science, which in turn gave birth to the gharib glossaries creation. It also sums up the differences in their creation which scholars referred only to some of them and in dispersed references.

As it has been previously studied, Philip K. Dick's work raises existential questions that do not have a clear answer, but theyinvite us to seek the truth. One of the essential themes in his writings is that our perception about reality is false (IdiosKosmos) In this sense, Philip K. Dick's statements and novels consider that human life is a constant struggle with obstacles.This paper analyses how his biography and readings led him to form a philosophical attitude that was essential in hiswritings. Then, the motives that distort the experience and the process of searching for the true reality are compared in threenovels. On the one hand, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and Ubik show different futuristic dystopias where humanvalues are endangered. On the other hand, VALIS is about the search of transcendence from a more realistic andautobiographical approach. The aim of this article is to reflect about the search of the koinos kosmos contained in these threenovels.

The purpose of this contribution is to present a general survey of darkness as power in the New Testament. It is generally accepted that darkness functions on a symbolic-metaphorical level on the one hand and on a literal level on the other hand. The former receives attention in this study where darkness is almost exclusively connected with the domain of power of the evil. The issue of darkness is investigated from four dimensions (1) as an opposing power to light in a dualistic worldview, (2) as a ruling power with a grip on death and the grave, (3) as a power of the evil and the struggle for liberation and (4) as a symbol and instrument of judgement of God in an apocalyptic worldview, with darkness eventually becoming the condemned. It is concluded that there seems to be at least two New Testament perceptions regarding the position of darkness as power: The domain of evil’s darkness is located in the ‘underworld’, but gradually this view changed to also include a space in the layers of heaven above the earth. Earthlings found themselves in the midst of the struggle between Belial and Christ – the latter who finally conquers the power of darkness and now rules above the dark forces of evil.
