Psalm 37 is one of the most typical wisdom texts in the Book of Psalms. In comparison to other psalms it contains a high number of information on the righteous and the wicked person. The paper aims to present and analyse in detail all contexts in which mentions of the righteous and the wicked appear in order to answer the question what function these information have. The paper is divided into five parts. In the first one is given a short introduction into psalm’s genre and its main topic. The second one reflects all mentions of the righteous and the wicked in Ps 37, such containing the key terms as qyDic' and [v'r' but also those which are thematically connected with them. In the third and fourth part of the paper the information about the righteous and the wicked are analysed in detail and the main contexts of their using are defined. The righteous as supported by God are mainly viewed as existential winners in contrast to the wicked presented as life losers. The final part of the article explains the role of the information on the righteous and the wicked in the psalm taking into account the actual situation of the psalm’s addressee.

This article contributes to the debate concerning the International Criminal Court and politics by regarding the Court as a coliseum on whose floor the Prosecutor duels with the defendants of his/her choosing. It focuses on the Ruto and Kenyatta cases arising from the 2007/2008 post-election violence in Kenya. The article begins with a background to the post-election violence. The second part discusses Kenya’s initial efforts to halt the icc proceedings against the six suspects. The third part considers how Kenyatta and Ruto used the icc prosecutions against them to get elected to the country’s presidency. The fourth part discusses how Kenya’s non-cooperation with the Prosecutor and the recantation and withdrawal of witnesses led to the collapse of the Kenyatta and Ruto cases. The fifth and final part concludes by arguing that the Prosecutor lost the duel due to a political miscalculation which Kenyatta and Ruto used to their advantage.

This Oñati Socio-Legal Series publication is the product of an Oñati workshop on Too much litigation, held June 2019. This is the third and final part of a trilogy of workshops held in Oñati; the first two parts dealt with the legal professionals: lawyers (Oñati workshop 2012, titled Too Many Lawyers?); and judges (Oñati workshop 2016, titled Too Few Judges?). In this final workshop, we focused on litigants and litigation – the “clients” of both judges and lawyers. The overall finding is that too much/not enough litigation might endanger access to justice. In a wider context, putting the three themes together creates a better understanding of the importance of access to justice and the role of the legal profession and the professionals in ensuring this basic right.

The Moment

The article provides the analysis of mytho­logical dimension of the film “Ilych’s Gate” (Zastava Ilycha) by M.M. Khutsiev. The author concludes that the text of this film represents self-reflexive structure. Firstly, the plot of the film quite clearly depicts the mythological perception of reality. Secondly, the course of narration reproduces the influence of mytho­logical codes on the perception of the audience. The text of the film contains a description of its own mechanism of influence on the viewer as well as the processes taking place in the minds of the audience at the moment of viewing.The first part informs of the main principles of mytho­logical thinking and the idea of time and space in the myth, referring to the works by C. Lévi-Strauss, R. Barthes, M. Eliade, A. Losev, E. Cassirer and others. Special attention is paid to the role of myth and initiation ritual in the psychological formation of a personality, as, based on the following, this is the theme that forms the basis of the film plot.The second part deals with the methods by which the mythological dimension is manifested in the text of the film.In the third part, the researcher shows how the contrast of secular and sacral becomes the main semantic opposition promoting the motion of the plot.In the fourth part, the author proves that the reflection of reality in the characters’ minds is a referent of the images shown on the screen. The characters’ development lies in the actualization of the sacral and mythological perception of the world. In turn, the cultural codes contained in the text of the film are designed to evoke a kind of response in the minds of the audience — to actualize the same sacred modus of perception in its ideas, the achievement of which is the ultimate goal of the characters. Thus, the inner path of the characters in the film reflects the processes that excite the studied film in the perception of the audience.The relevance of the article lies in the discovery and description of the principle of self-reflection in the structure of the film “Ilych’s Gate”, which allows us to understand at a qualitatively new level its structure and place in the historical development of Russian cinematography.

Insight Into

Dealing with the presumed universality of metaphor and its role in the discourse of philosophy and science, the article discusses, in the first part, the theses on metaphor as ?all pervading means? of language and thought, raised by romantic and post-romantic philosophers of language, and its impact on the meta-discourse on philosophy and science in recent contemporary contributions by epistemologists of science and language philosophers. The aim of the article is to show, on one side, that this universalisation of metaphor has been operative in the recent philosophy rather as a tacit confusion of metaphors with models and analogies than as elaboration of the presumed constitutive role of the so-called genuin metaphor in the rational discourse. On this ground, the article tries to provide, in the second and the third part, additonal and different arguments than those raised by ?friends of metaphor? for locating the presumed ?irrationality? of metaphor so as to reexamine the relevance of the difference between the literality of the underlying linguistic functions and the emphatic assertion by metaphorical expressions. As a result, in the fourth part, a different model has been suggested for estimating metaphors as universal, legitimate, and epistemically innovative in the rational discourse of philosophy and science. Such a view allows for conceiving of the presumed ?all-pervading? character of transference in language and thought as based on the universality of linguistic functions and yet enables to consider metaphors as what they actually are - a particular, but peculiar, intralinguistic phenomenon without which no insight into the differential and material character of language and speech seems to be possible at all.

Dispositional Properties

This essay examines the manner in which Hume challenges the cognitivist and realist intuitions informing our ordinary experience of value by identifying values with mind-dependent feelings and by separating facts from values. However, through a process of interpretive rehearsal of Hume’s arguments in the first two parts of the paper we find that they come under increasing internal strain, which points, contrary to his initial argument about the irreducibly phenomenal aspects of value experience, to the motivational role of reason and to the identification of values, not with mind-dependent feelings, but with dispositional properties of objects. The third and final part of the paper will offer a systematic reconstruction of his arguments with a view to suggesting one possible – descriptivist – alternative to Hume’s initial challenges, which can serve to satisfy the emerging cognitivist and realist needs of his arguments.

Legislative Review

This chapter analyses China’s existing mechanism of reviewing the constitutionality and legality of legislations and its deficiencies. The first part of the chapter describes the Qi Yuling case and the failure to maintain and advance a judicial review mechanism in China. The second part discusses some of the constitutional cases, mostly on equality without reference to the Constitution. The third and fourth parts explore the political and legal context for the existing review mechanism, in which the role of the judiciary is minimized and the limitations that inhere in the legislative review mechanism. The final part discusses the theoretical and practical impediments at establishing judicial review in China, and proposes several reforms aimed at evolving a suitable mechanism for ensuring conformity of state action to China’s Constitution and the laws.

This article sheds light on the role of grammar in understanding legislative texts, with reference to the wuḍūʾ verse (Q. 5:6). The first section deals with the issue of washing the elbows along with the feet as part of ritual ablution, and lists the various interpretations of the preposition ilā in the aya, and discusses the grammatical theory used by different fuqahāʾ to support their arguments. The second section tackles how much of the head should be rubbed in ritual ablution, with regard to the use of the preposition bi- in the phrase bi-ruʾūsikum, while the third focuses on the two readings of the phrase arjulakum/arjulikum (‘your feet’) and on passing legislative judgement on whether the feet be washed or just rubbed. The study concludes that lugha and fiqh theory are of mutual importance and together help to clarify legislative judgements, and, on this basis, that jurists should not pass any legislative judgement without referring to language.

Putting the Madhyamaka Trick in Context: A Contextualist Reading of Huntington’s Interpretation of Madhyamaka

In a series of works published over a period of twenty five years, C.W. Huntington, Jr. has developed a provocative and radical reading of Madhyamaka (particularly Early Indian Madhyamaka) inspired by ‘the insights of post- Wittgensteinian pragmatism and deconstruction’ (1993, 9). This article examines the body of Huntington’s work through the filter of his seminal 2007 publication, ‘The Nature of the M?dhyamika Trick’, a polemic aimed at a quartet of other recent commentators on Madhyamaka (Robinson, Hayes, Tillemans and Garfield) who attempt ‘to read N?g?rjuna through the lens of modern symbolic logic’ (2007, 103), a project which is the ‘end result of a long and complex scholastic enterprise … [which] can be traced backwards from contemporary academic discourse to fifteenth century Tibet, and from there into India’ (2007, 111) and which Huntington sees as distorting the Madhyamaka project which was not aimed at ‘command[ing] assent to a set of rationally grounded doctrines, tenets, or true conclusions’ (2007, 129). This article begins by explicating some disparate strands found in Huntington’s work, which I connect under a radicalized notion of ‘context’. These strands consist of a contextualist/pragmatic theory of truth (as opposed to a correspondence theory of truth), a contextualist epistemology (as opposed to one relying on foundationalist epistemic warrants), and a contextualist ontology where entities are viewed as necessarily relational (as opposed to possessing a context-independent essence.) I then use these linked theories to find fault with Huntington’s own readings of Candrak?rti and N?g?rjuna, arguing that Huntington misreads the semantic context of certain key terms (tarka, d???i, pak?a and pratijñ?) and fails to follow the implications of N?g?rjuna and Candrak?rti’s reliance on the role of the pram??as in constituting conventional reality. Thus, I find that Huntington’s imputation of a rejection of logic and rational argumentation to N?g?rjuna and Candrak?rti is unwarranted. Finally, I offer alternate readings of the four contemporary commentators selected by Huntington, using the conceptual apparatus developed earlier to dismiss Robinson’s and Hayes’s view of N?g?rjuna as a charlatan relying on logical fallacies, and to find common ground between Huntington’s project and the view of N?g?rjuna developed by Tillemans and Garfield as a thinker committed using reason to reach, through rational analysis, ‘the limits of thought.’
