Recibido: 10/04/2013 · Aceptado: 01/07/2013La Agogé de la Universalidad.The agoge of universality.ResumenEl artículo aborda la educación como un tema propio del campo de la filosofía política. En su desarrollo trabaja los conceptos de Bildung y liber­tad, la educación del ciudadano y la emergencia de la libertad moderna. Para Hegel la educación ocupa un lugar central en el desarrollo de su filosofía, y la Universidad aparece como el lugar por excelencia de reali­zación del espíritu universal del Pueblo. Por su parte, Platón demuestra su admiración por la agogé espartana, pues implica una disciplina necesaria para el desarrollo del carácter (ethos) de los ciudadanos particulares que conforman la comunidad política. A su vez para Aristóteles, el proceso pedagógico es un acto que pertenece a la comunidad, y expresa el momento de transición del futuro ciudadano entre el oikos y el ágora. Finalmente, Hegel ve en el mundo antiguo la normatividad necesaria para formar al funcionario del Estado Moderno.Palabras clave: Agogé – educación – universidad – ciudadanía - ágoraAbstractThis article tackles education as a subject belonging to the political phi­losophy scope. It explores concepts such as Bildung and liberty, citizens’ education and modern liberty. Education is placed at the core of Hegel’s philosophy and the university is the place par-excellence for the realisation of the people’s universal spirit. Plato shows admiration for the Spartan agogé as it implies the necessary discipline for personality development (ethos) of citizens who form a political community. For Aristotle, the educational process belongs to the whole community and it expresses the transition between oikos and agora. Finally, Hegel finds in the Ancient World the necessary normativity to educate the modern civil servant. Keywords: Agogé – education – university – citizenship - agora

The main purpose of the article is a subject-thematic analysis of the personal book collection of an outstanding Odessa historian-antiquarian, specialist in numismatics, Greek and Latin epigraphy of the Northern Black Sea littoral, Byzantine scholar, brilliant lecturer, professor of Odessa I. I. Mechnikov National University, Head of the Department of History of the Ancient World and the Middle Ages Petr Yosypovych Karyshkovskyi-Ikar (1921–1988) held in the stocks of the Scientific Library. The article tells the story of the delivery of the personal book collection to the Scientific Library of Odessa I. I. Mechnikov National University in 2019. The collection contains 208 units of periodicals, 10 pictorial units, there are also cartographic atlases (6 units). The main part of the collection (1710 units) consists of books on historical sciences mainly on archeology, numismatics, history of the ancient world and Byzantium. Reference editions (38 units) as well as materials of domestic and international conferences (29 units) make an important part of the collection. Special attention is paid to some rare and valuable publications of the first half of the 20th century, such as the Bulletin of the Odessa Commission of Local Lore at the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and the Chersonese Collection. It can be noted that this collection is of great importance for the research and educational process of the university, as it contains important books on historical and other sciences carefully selected by the owner, as well as foreign scientific literature, which has not been republished and sometimes is not available in Ukrainian libraries. The collection also gives an idea of the range of scientific interests of its owner.

The National University of Buenos Aires, the largest and for many years the most prestigious in Latin America, is today more commonly taken as the archetype of the political Latin American university—and the connotations of “political” are wholly pejorative. This notoriety may be due in part, as Kalman Silvert suggests, to the high visibility of the University, especially to touring North American newsmen. Nevertheless, as its numerous critics allege, there seems to be abundant evidence to link politics to the manifest disarray of the educational process: in the well-publicized brawls among contending student factions and confrontations between demonstrators and the police, student strikes in opposition to procedural reforms desirable on grounds of efficiency, the reputed “terrorization” of heterodox professors, several student homicides in recent years, the distressingly high incidence of abandonos (for it is assumed, erroneously, that many withdrawals from the University are motivated by disgust with its politics); student political behavior as in the abusive reception tendered W. W. Rostow by a student group in Economic Sciences in February 1965, may have international repercussions. Such depressing phenomena have led even temperate and knowledgeable observers to speak of the “failure” of the University, and to call for a thoroughgoing structural overhaul, conducive, among other things, to depoliticization.

This article examines some of the core holdings within the Archive for Contemporary Affairs at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa. Prominent amongst this material are the papers of the National Party (NP), the political party that formalised the structures of apartheid. Paying particular attention to the papers of what Hermann Giliomee has termed ‘The Last Afrikaner Leaders’ alongside recently acquired material concerning post-colonial politics, we argue for the importance of this archive for scholars studying Afrikaner nationalism, at both national and regional level, the rationales and discourses of apartheid and the history of the country more broadly.

This article points out a few coordinates of the educational process analysis in the contemporary society, marked by global challenges and invaded by the information technology. Viewing education in terms of restructuring, for a better response to the individuals’ and to the society’ needs, raises the question of redefining learning outcomes in the light of general educational finalities, shaped by the specific traits of the digital era. It is not about a formal restructuring, regarding the phases of the process, but it is related to the effort of reframing the core values of approaching the personality development, taking in account a continuous perspective of permanent education in a digital environment.

In our study, we attempt to provide a broad picture about the views of those authors who assessed the nationality concept of Ferenc Deák and József Eötvös, and through this analysis we would clarify how diverse approaches of the same issue might exist within the academic literature. We rely on the main relevant sources drafted under different political regimes: from the dualist period, Béla Grünwald, Lajos Mocsáry, and Oszkár Jászi are highlighted; from the era between the two world wars, Gyula Szekfű, Imre Mikó, and Kálmán Molnár will be cited; while the communist approach would be represented by Erzsébet Fazekas and Gábor Kemény G. Apart from the most influential Hungarian scholars, some authors from the neighbouring countries and the mainstream contemporary international literature on the status of national minorities will be also referred to. The core of our research is not the evaluation of the 1868 Act on nationalities or its application itself but the ex-post assessment of the political nation concept provided by Deák and Eötvös, which was a point of reference for the whole contemporary Hungarian political community and which also determined the logic of the 1868 Act on nationalities.

The following paper from the point of view of logical and historical approaches unity examines the objective conditionality of university students subjective position formation and development process. From the logical point of view the author actualizes the idea of developing organization forms of teaching, educational, research and professional processes as a result of resolving contradictions in the design and construction of the educational process at the university. The process of a students subject position formation appears to be in this case a necessary, adequate and effective tool for the removal of these contradictions. From the historical point of view the author deploys the idea of the retrospective analysis and synthesis of diverse points of view on the problem of students subjective position formation and development. It provides access to the so-called integration of the theory of didactic encyclopedic knowledge, formalism and pragmatism, functional materialism, the theory of operational structuring, pedagogical theory of a holistic educational process, the theory of personality development, theories of self-development, copyrighted pedagogical systems of training and education. Logical approach realizes the idea of genesis of subjective position organizational forms and systems of formation as a kind of reaction to the contradictions that arise in the system of university educational space.

“There are some things that money can’t buy.” Is citizenship among them? This chapter explores this question by highlighting the core legal and ethical puzzles associated with the surge in cash-for-passport programs. The spread of these new programs is one of the most significant developments in citizenship practice in the past few decades. It tests our deepest intuitions about the meaning and attributes of the relationship between the individual and the political community to which she belongs. This chapter identifies the main strategies employed by a growing number of states putting their visas and passports “for sale,” selectively opening their otherwise bolted gates of admission to the high-net-worth individuals of the world. Moving from the positive to the normative, the discussion then elaborates the main arguments in favor of, as well as against, citizenship-for-sale. The discussion draws attention to the distributive and political implications of these developments, both locally and globally, and identifies the deeper forces at work that contribute to the perpetual testing, blurring, and erosion of the state-market boundary regulating access to membership.

The author constitutes a reconstruction of Allan Bloom’s position on the relationship between the philosopher and the political community, which is important to philosophical tradition, as is symbolised by Socrates and his dispute with the Athenian polis. Texts authored by Bloom, as well as the Saul Bellow’s novel Ravelstein, provided the basis for the reconstruction. The novel’s protagonist, a professor of philosophy by the name of Abe Ravelstein, was modelled on Allan Bloom, while Chick, the narrator, corresponds to the author himself. Ravelstein is the story of their friendship, which has lasted from Bloom’s return to the University of Chicago in 1978 until his death in 1992. The article brings Bloom’s reflections closer to the Polish philosophical space, where they are, as yet, not widely known.

Abstract In the course of the research project “Revenge of the Sacred: Phenomenology and the Ends of Christianity”, a group of scholars based at the University of Vienna attempts to understand a modern society that is seemingly no longer Christian, yet also not yet non-Christian. How does the citizen negotiate the ambiguities between the religious and the political in this ambivalent space that seems to be becoming increasingly “post-secular” in a way that is not necessarily “anti-secular?” We explore the core of these and other questions with contemporary scholars in a series of interviews entitled “What moves you? Human Rights, Hearts, Beliefs – and Beyond.” This interview was conducted with the Derrida specialist, professor, and translator Michael Naas (De Paul University, IL, U.S.). It covers the topics of globalization, migration, hospitality, all in the context of human rights, secularism, and religion today.

This chapter provides an overview of the influence of Scots’ experience of Dutch legal education on the development of legal education in the Scottish universities, elaborating its impact on methods of teaching, curricula, and choice of textbooks. The influence of the approach of the Dutch law professors may also be traced in the work of early private teachers of law before the foundation of the university chairs. Legal education was not narrowly conceived. From the beginning, the Dutch Humanist approach was influential. Studies of Civil law in particular — the core university discipline — were thought to require related studies of the ancient world, its politics and culture.
