Self-deception is part of the immature state problem, so understanding it is relevant, especially for the education. The presented analysis is made from the standpoint of philosophical anthropology of subjectness, based on phenomenological and dialectical approaches. Compared with many interpretations of self-deception, the presented version is focuses on the fundamental level of self-deception, since other versions not only do not answer about the primary source of the phenomenon, but are fraught with contradictions and insufficiency. The understanding of self-deception in the article proceeds from the analysis of the experience of internal dialogue, touching upon the problem of duality. "Participants" of the internal dialogue — "I" and "myself" reveal in the discretion their own characteristics, explainable from the point of view of different layers of experience and, especially, subjectnost' . The appeal to the fundamental level for understanding self-deception coincides with the position of Sartre, but the presented interpretation does not coincide with his. Ripening to a mature state is explained in connection with the changes that oppose self-deception — in the mastering of "I" and "myself" and their relations.

And Control

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore and provide insights into corruption and the control procedures from an Islamic perspective. Design/methodology/approach This paper adopts qualitative research approach using the holy Quran as a primary source and hadith of the Prophet Mohammed supported by the anecdotes of his companions as a secondary source and prior literature. Findings This paper offers an Islamic taxonomy of corruption that contains economic, managerial, financial, political, environmental, social and ethical corruption which is explicitly prohibited because of their consequence on societies. Islam establishes proactive, preventive, detecting and reactive procedures to control corruption and prescribes how to avoid its harmful consequences. The paper also reveals significant concepts in relation to individuals’ qualities that if taken care of, better chances to reduce corruption and better living conditions can be accomplished. Research limitations/implications The paper recommends means to the business community through providing managerial and practical procedures which can be used for limiting corruption effectively. However, this piece of work provides further explanations on corruption to improve our understanding on such a phenomenon and contributes to the literature from the perspective of Islam point of view. Originality/value The paper contributes to the debate on corruption, human, religion and control from an Islamic point of view, which is lacking. This paper finds evidence that loss of belief is a situational factor that leads to corrupt acts. Also, moral teaching in early ages is necessary for inner and self-control. Moral renovation is an influential factor that keeps individuals motivated and refrain from indulging into corrupt acts.

The following article deals with the sources and subject of religious teaching from the canon point of view. Canon Law Code 760 specifies the Holy Bible as the first and primary source of religious education. The next fundamental source of cathesis is Tradition, then, the liturgy and the Magisterium and Church life. The subject of word ministry (religious education) should be the mystery of Christ presented entirely and faithfully, taking the law hierarchy into account.

Governing Principle

There is an increasingly prevalent view among some contemporary Locke scholars that Locke's political philosophy is thoroughly subordinate to theological imperatives, centered on natural law. This article challenges this point of view by critically evaluating this interpretation of Locke as advanced by some of its leading proponents. This interpretation perceives natural law as the governing principle of Locke's political philosophy, and the primary source of transition and reconciliation within it. This article advances a very different reading of Locke's political philosophy, perceiving within it competing imperatives that cannot be subsumed by natural law, and are, in some respects, at odds with it. In this way, the article shows how the “theological” interpretation of Locke's political philosophy, centred on natural law, fails to account for some of that philosophy's fundamental features, and is unable to explain some of its key outcomes, with the result that this interpretation falls short of its critical ambitions.

Membrane Contactors

Cultivation in greenhouse requires high water quantity for irrigation and sometimes for internal climate conditioning. Water resource is becoming more and more poor. The proposed system allows making greenhouses self-sufficient from the point of view of water needs and self-conditioned at a very low energy cost. Moreover it could allow cultivation in areas where drinkable water is scarce, since it can use as primary source saline or brackish water. This is a new concept of greenhouse, patented by Centro Ricerche FIAT (CRF), in which membranes, waterproof but permeable to vapor, are used in order to improve a cooling system. The management of membrane contactors allows, with lower energy expense with respect to standard air conditioning systems, allows to control both temperature and lowest humidity level inside the greenhouse, thus reducing water need. Saline water is used upstream for cooling and clean water is obtained, by means of downstream condensation.

The study aimed to address the revival of the Abbasid Caliphate in Cairo, after it fell at the hands of the Mughal advance in the fall of Baghdad in 656 AH, so the Abbasid Caliphate fell and the Mongols took control of its capital, Baghdad, and killed the last Abbasid caliphs, the Sultan Al-Mustasim slaughtered in 656 AH, and since then Muslims did not have a state that defends them and fights under its flag except the Mamluk state in Egypt, which responded to the Mongol attacks on the Islamic world, and the Mamluks managed to defeat the Mongols in the famous battle of Ain Jalut 658 AH, which was the beginning of the true breakdown of the Mongol advance to the Islamic world, and the Mamluk victories continued over the Mongols. After that, many of the Islamic countries they had conquered were liberated at the beginning of their encroachment on Muslim countries. The Mamluks were then the campaigners of the jihad brigade and raised their banner against the Mongols, and they also became the actual rulers of Egypt and the Levant since then with the right of the sword and the power they possessed, especially after they rid the Islamic world of the attacks of the Mongols who terrorized people and killed hundreds of thousands and could only stand in the face of them. Mamluks, so people condemned the Maliki and satisfied their rule. However, the Mamluks themselves saw a lack of their rule as if the specter of slavery in which they lived before they became rulers continued to haunt them, and the matter increased during the reign of Zahir Baybars, who tried to legitimize his rule and the rule of the Mamluks after him, so he took many measures to achieve that and the most important of these The measures are "reviving the Abbasid caliphate in Cairo," which had fallen in its capital, Baghdad, after the Mongol attacks and the fall of Baghdad in their hands, so that the city of Cairo became the incubator of the caliphate and its new patron during the Mamluk era, but this time the caliphate did not become an absolute authority as it was before, but rather Imaginary power behind which the Mamluks rule the Islamic countries, so the position of the caliphate was divided into two parts of the religion of the Abbasid caliph and the politician of the apparent Baybars, and the title of the apparent Baybars Qasim, the Commander of the Faithful, a metaphor for the sharing of the position of the caliphate between him and the Abbasid caliph, and struck that on the money that was silenced in his era, which is more accurate Witness the new changes in the conditions of the Abbasid Caliphate, as well as the Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt. And this research that is in our hands will address this topic through a descriptive study of the writings and inscriptions on Mamluk money minted in Egypt during that period. The researcher found that: 1- the Abbasid Caliphate was merely a mere caliphate that had no strength in that period. 2- the researcher recommended the necessity of studying archeology and archaeological writings from a historical point of view as a primary source for documentation and validation of historical information.

Definition Of

The well-known epistolary conflict between Fyodor Dostoevsky and Nikolai Strakhov over the latter's slander of the great Russian writer's terrible sins is considered in the article from the point of view a philosophical anthropology and relations not two but between three participants of this story: Dostoyevsky, Strakhov and Tolstoy. This conflict is presented through anthropological, existential, and class prisms of description, based on a reconstruction of Strakhov's concept of man as a controversial, dual, and undefined being reflected in Dostoevsky's work. A direct relation between the definition of the dual nature of man in the works of Strakhov and Dostoevsky and interpersonal conflicts within "boundary forms of literature" is substantiated. Special attention is paid to the class of seminarians, the object of Dostoevsky's targeted criticism. He saw their worst characteristics in Strakhov personality. Tolstoy plays the role of an arbiter in this controversy, assessing the situation both in terms of literary, existential and religious thought. In the course of his examination of this conflict, his unexpected closeness to Dostoevsky was discovered in regard to assessment of Strakhov. The point of their coincidence was the "pink Christianity" of the writers, who justify man in a quite similar manner, in terms of their religious consciousness.

Introduction. The paper focuses on language means exploited by social engineers in their activities in terms of humanitarian aspects of cybersecurity. The goal of this research is to analyze the methods and techniques employed by social engineers in their malicious activity and its features from a psycholinguistic point of view for further development of counteraction mechanisms. Methods. To obtain results we used the following methods: primary source analysis, analysis of spoken and written speech and speech products, and intent analysis. Results. The activity theory has been successfully applied to consider the key features of social engineers’ work. On the base of AT we presented a three-component model which we may consider only in the case of a social engineer’s successful attack (action). Based on the analysis of the sources, we distinguished the types of spoken and written communication actions (these types correspond to direct and indirect actions), used by social engineers to affect the cognitive processes for retrieving “sensitive data” and confidential information. Besides, we also categorized psychological and language means, which social engineers evidently apply in their activities. We stress that in most cases social engineers’ activities are aimed at a) affecting the person’s emotions and feelings; b) blocking rational and critical thinking; c) manipulating moral and ethic values, and d) using positive incentives that have an interest to a user. Taking into account the abovementioned types of communication, psychological and language means, we systematized and described the general techniques of using oral and written forms of language and technologies: 1) techniques related to the use of spoken speech; 2) techniques related to the use of written speech; 3) techniques related to the use of USB flash drives, applications, and program software. The findings are applicable for developing a mechanism to counter social engineers’ attacks and contribute to improving the level of cyber literacy.

Practical Implications

Purpose – to analyze the image, consumption and purchase habits of chicken and turkey meats by households with children as both kinds of meat are healthier than others. Research methodology – in the field of marketing, we carried out a telephone survey, a tool commonly used in market research to obtain primary source information. Findings – there are differences between households with and without children under 18 years old in the consumption and purchase habits of turkey and chicken meat. Instead, there is no difference in the image of both meats between the total of the sample and the households with children under 18 years old. Research limitations – we have not analysed the performance of these meats in relation to other types of meat. There- fore, it would be useful to have data on other meats in the future in order to make comparisons. Practical implications – the results of the research can be used to develop appropriate social responsibility strategies in the meat industry. Originality/Value – the point of view we provide is novel as we have not found comparable studies for these types of meat. Previously, the authors have analysed the children’s consumption of rabbit meat using a similar approach.

Biographical Tradition

Despite the intensive study of Thomas More during the last decade, a study stimulated by his canonization, by the fourth centenary of his martyrdom, and by the enthusiastic and scholarly work of A. W. Reed, R. W. Chambers, and other writers, there remain significant aspects of his life that have received comparatively little attention. In a stimulating paper published eight years ago, Marie Delcourt demonstrated that the “English” tradition of More biography, the tradition created by More's kinsfolk and devoted followers, represented a conscious attempt to emphasize his saintly qualities and those of his works which supported his claim to canonization. For this reason, these biographers gave little weight to More's humanist activities, his secular Latin writings, and his association with Erasmus, a dubious character from the point of view of the Counter-reformation. Aside from questions of bias, moreover, the period about which the “English” biographical tradition is least informative is that during which More was most interested in the humanities, since Roper, the primary source of the school of hagiographers, became More's son-in-law only after More had left academic study for the business of the royal court. The distortion created either by the ignorance or by the prejudice of More's early biographers, says Delcourt, has been repaired only partly by modern scholarship, and Chambers' account of Thomas More, though by far the best of recent studies, is nevertheless of the pattern laid down by Rastell, Roper, Harpsfield, and their followers. In the following pages, therefore, I have set down a few bits of information, some little known, others quite overlooked, which, in connection with the established circumstances of More's life, serve to emphasize the typically humanist character of his early career.

Norman Malcolm, whose Memoir is an important primary source for the life of his teacher, wrote just before his own death a second brief work, Wittgenstein: A Religious Point of View?, that provides extended evidence of Wittgenstein's enduring Christian commitment. Yet Malcolm could see nothing more than analogies between his religious attitude on the one hand and his attitude to philosophical questions on the other. William Warren Bartley, III, a philosopher interested in biography, placed more stock in his own long-distance psychoanalysis of two of Wittgenstein's reported dreams than he did in the concrete Christian particularity of a life that he correctly labeled an amalgam of ‘ethical activity and practical philosophy’. James C. Edwards acknowledged his subject's imitatio Christi and ‘religious sensibility’ but reduced these to a generic ethics, oddly suppressing Wittgenstein's own standard Christian terminology—barely noting that he read the Christian Gospels, was converted to follow the way of Jesus, and (with some eccentricity) lived a faithful Christian life and died a Christian death. What would it be, then, to take a more fully integrated view of Wittgenstein's life and work—to consider him as a Christian in philosophy?
