The article examines the fl amenco dance as a means of expression of the dancer’s emotions and development of emotional intellect. It has been noted that up to the present time in scholarship there has not been any unifi ed approach towards the essence of the concept of “emotion” and the characterization of emotional intellect. The authors of the article note that emotions demonstrate the experience of various types of situations by the subject, evaluation of their meaning, as well as transformations and regulations of behavior in consideration of the achieved evaluation. The article substantiates the meaning of human existence in the context of the affective-emotional nature of individuals and people’s belonging to the category of emotional-social beings. It is shown that emotions serve not only as an organizing and motivating factor of behavior, but also as a factor of personalized development and relationship with the surrounding world. Analysis is made of the views on emotions of a number of authors, including Wilhelm Reich, who presumed that chronic tension in the human being’s organism negatively affects his energetic fi eld, at the basis of which lie strong emotions, not allowing him to experience these emotions and distorting the expression of feelings. The human being can free himself of such energy blocks only after having fully experienced these emotions. In its turn, the experience of these emotions and, consequently, their discharge may be carried out by means of art and artistic creativity. Hereinafter the fl amenco dance is examined as a means not only of remittal of the dancer’s and the audience’s psycho-emotional tension, but also the development of emotional intellect.

The human being is the basis of philosophy, and this concept has crystallized mainly in most philosophical currents. Therefore, we see that these trends fall into one subject, which is (man), and every philosophy of these philosophies and currents or philosophical trends tries to set a concept for the human being of its own, and therefore we see a clear difference in Interpretations of these conflicting philosophical currents among themselves, which consider the human being and problems are the core of the topics of their thinking and with this research which is (the human being in the philosophical thought), so we see that Jaroudi's cognitive, philosophical and cultural system is poured into one topic, which is the human being, and this is what we found when talking about the concept of the human in Marxist thought, which was embodied in the principle of freedom, equality and respect for the other, then moving to the concept of man in existential philosophy, with its atheistic and believing parts, and its characterization of the human being because it is considered the fundamental difficulty in existential philosophy, and after that, Jarudi moved to the study of man to the personal philosophy of Jean Lacroix and Monet, which emphasizes the individual's responsibility and emphasis On a position on nature and history, and finally he studied man in structural philosophy. We see that the research began with a general introduction in which the human being is its main focus, and many researchers attribute their writing on the subject of man and humanity to Abu Hayyan al-Tawhidi and Ibn Miskawayh, as two of the flags of humanism in the Islamic civilization, and how these successive currents have looked at the human being and have been interested in all aspects of man Not only what he is aware of and what he thinks about or what he intends, because there are things in him that always go beyond awareness, thought and intent, and we see from the important results at the beginning of the conversation the consequences of studying a person from the deep crisis that he lived with all his conscience due to his presence in a concerned world, a world from which there is no way out. Likewise, Arkoun stems from the necessity of re-regard for philology as an indispensable approach in establishing the scientific approach to texts as a primary entry point for dropping sacredness from it and thus liberating the Islamic mind from the mythical thought that was associated with it with the Islamic vision of the phenomenon of revelation. On the other hand, existential philosophy emphasized the ability of man to conquer reality, transcend it and give it a special meaning.

The article is devoted to the ancient "twists and turns" of being. In its a dramatic context the boundary situation of death of the person is considered. The proposed excursion to the antique philosophical thinking allows us to consider a number of fundamental ontological and anthropological ideas in the context of the problems of death, immortality, renewal of being and the possibility of the existence of nothingness, the position of man in relation to a changing being. Following to ancient and modern philosophers we fix the antique totality and centrality of fuses (the nature of existence-cosmos) and human being as its harmonious part of it. They develop from birth to death. The phenomenon of death in antiquity has an ontological content. The death "belongs" to being, it is not the special identity of the subject and the border situation experiences and comprehension of human existence.

The paper outlines the category of eccentric positionality of the man in philosophical thought of Helmuth Plessner. Using the term positionality, Plessner determined the existence of living beings towards not living beings, and using the category eccentric positionality he tried to precise the specificity of human survival. In the background of these concepts is the idea of possibilities of characterization of specific modes of living bodies and overcoming of ambiguity of human existence as natural and unnatural, in other words physical and not physical. In discussions about the man, starting from Descartes, precisely that was happening. In order to get the concept of man, of imagined from the position of experience, and trying to clarify the aforementioned duality of his description, Plessner started from the phenomenon of life, which cannot be understood through Cartesian alternative of spirit or physical thing. Starting from this principle, he was able to reconcile the two philosophical traditions of understanding men, in what is mostly consist significance of his thought. The fact that Plessner is not the first author who has been using the concept of eccentricity does not diminish the merit of detailed elaboration of this concept as well as its high-quality application in an attempt to understand the human being. "Eccentric positionality", which will eventually infuse all his analysis in the sphere of man, shows the height of Plessner’s philosophical power. Therefore, this paper shows the historical and scientific context of development of this category in thought of this German philosopher.

Det hele menneske og en kristologisk funderet forsynstanke: Om brugen af “Sjæl” og “Støv” i to grundtvigsalmer[The whole human being and a Christologically based belief in providence: On the use of “Soul” and “Dust” in two of Grundtvig’s hymns]By Aage SchiølerThe reading of two of Grundtvig’s hymns, one much used and one less known, uncovers the influence of Old Testament material on his ideas of basic human conditions and on the wording of Christological dynamics within his notions about Divine Providence. First, the use of “Soul” and “Dust” is briefly surveyed. Then the hymns are analysed in order to clarify the impact of the terms on Christology as the crucial element determining the subject-matter of his view on Divine Providence. The outcome of the analysis is that only through inclusion of the existence of the individual person into the destiny of Christ as our equal and brother in life, death and resurrection, the hard questions posed by human existence can be challenged by reference to a God characterized by omnipotence, omniscience, and supreme goodness.The omission of this Christological element, which in Grundtvig’s context is presented through the Preaching of the Gospel, granted the individual through Baptism, and continually maintained through The Lords Supper, would leave Divine Providence as idle talk or mere chance. Finally a modification of the concept of complementarity is used as a means to clarify the term Christian Hope as the liberating potentiality in Grundtvig’s ideas about Divine Providence.

This paper aims to reveal the multidimensionality of human being-in-the-world within the human existence analytics and to show that human existence is reflexively correlated with the Other. The key question is how the subject ontologically lives and at the same time existentially experiences his relations to the world. The distinction between be-living and living through human’s being-in-the-world is substantiated as the principle of onto-phenomenological differentiation. Within the irreducible multiplicity of human relations to the world four modes of human experience are formed: the transcendent, the symbolic, the objective and the sensual ones. Ultimately, it is shown that the key to understanding the human existence is the highest form of its correlation with the Other: the ethical relation. Thus, the universal for the world philosophy understanding of man as ethical and, as such, reasonable being is expounded. The paper can be of interest to anyone who is concerned with the problem of man and who is familiar with some basic philosophical approaches to it.

In the text entitled "The Ethics of Persona" are successively opened following questions: What is the basis of ethics? What constitutes the humanity of man? How have views of human nature in history changed? What has the discovery of the subject-object approach to the world meant? Why do we now talk about the need for a new ethics? After emphasizing the role of communication in the human being, a consequence of the difference of social or individual bases of human existence is shown. Also depicted is the gradual discovery of the personal dimension of man and the tension, which can be   expressed following Levinas's formulation, as a question: nominative, or accusative? Referring to the prioritisation of accusative "selves" before the nominative "Ego" leads to the prioritisation of responsibility and care as the (existential) significant ethical basis for the meaningful development of man and the world.

Storytelling consists of an interaction between a narrator and a listener, both of whom assign meaning to the story as a whole and its component parts. The meaning assigned to the narrative changes over time under the influence of the recipient‟s changing precepts and perceptions which seem to be simplistic in infancy and more nuanced with age. It becomes more philosophical in that themes touching on the more profound questions of human existence tend to become more prominently discernible as the subject moves into the more reflective or summative phases of his or her existence. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the metaphorical character of a story, as reflected in changing patterns of meaning assigned to the narrative in the course of the subjective receiver‟s passage through the various stages of life. This was done by analysing meaning, from a particular storytelling session, at different stages of a listener‟s personal development. Meaning starts as literal and evolves through re-interpretation to abstract and deeper levels towards application in real life.

Actually, basic needs postulates securing of the elementary conditions of existence to every human being. Despite of the practical and theoretical importance of the subject the greatest irony is non- availability of any universal preliminary definition of the concept of basic needs. Moreover, this becomes the reason for unpredictability of various political programmes aiming at providing basic needs to the people. The shift is necessary for development of this or any other conception. No labour reforms could be made in history till labours were treated as objects. Its only after they were started being treating as subjects, labour unions were allowed to represent themselves in strategy formulations that labour reforms could become a reality. The present research paper highlights the basic needs of Human Rights in life.

This study introduces content analysis as a method of examining the accountant's role. The empirical study is based on 73 advertisements, which are directed primarily at employees who are affected by the management accountant's work. The findings of the study indicate that the subject of accountancy is used particularly in connection with promises of “cost reduction.” Consequently, the majority of advertisements use the accountant stereotype of “savings personified.” In a professional context, the work ethic of the management accountant is given particular emphasis in the advertisements. He/she identifies him/herself with his/her task to the maximum degree, is regarded as loyal to his/her company and, for the most part, is well organized in his/her work. However, the characterization of the management accountant as a well disciplined company-person conflicts with the negative portrayal of his/her professional qualities. In advertisements, the management accountant is portrayed as a rather inflexible, passive, and uncreative specialist who, as a result of these qualities, often demotivates others. The personal characteristics of the management accountant are shown in a negative light. This gives him/her the unappealing image of a humorless, envious, dissociated, and ascetic corporate-person.

This book argues that, as a pervasive dimension of human existence with theological implications, rhythm ought to be considered a category of theological significance. Philosophers and theologians have drawn on rhythm—patterned movements of repetition and variation—to describe reality, however, the ways in which rhythm is used and understood differ based on a variety of metaphysical commitments with varying theological implications. This book brings those implications into the open, using resources from phenomenology, prosody, and the social sciences to analyse and evaluate uses of rhythm in metaphysical and theological accounts of reality. The analysis relies on a distinction from prosody between a synchronic approach to rhythm—observing the whole at once and considering how various dimensions of a rhythm hold together harmoniously—and a diachronic approach—focusing on the ways in which time unfolds as the subject experiences it. The text engages with the twentieth-century Jesuit theologian Erich Przywara alongside thinkers as diverse as Augustine and the contemporary philosopher Giorgio Agamben, and proposes an approach to rhythm that serves the concerns of theological conversation. It demonstrates the difference that including rhythm in theological conversation makes to how we think about questions such as “what is creation?” and “what is the nature of the God–creature relationship?” from the perspective of rhythm. As a theoretical category, capable of expressing metaphysical commitments, yet shaped by the cultural rhythms in which those expressing such commitments are embedded, rhythm is particularly significant for theology as a phenomenon through which culture and embodied experience influence doctrine.
