The article presents the phenomenological approach to the individual-author’s reflection of joy as a value sense generated in the process of text production. The topicality of the study is determined by the need to comprehend the essential phenomena, which comprise certain aspects of a person’s outlook related to emotions in the process of life activity. Linguistic boundaries of the problems are largely due to the specific feature of the text, which is consistent with its ability to actualize the phenomena of the world, where the author’s consciousness reaches, with the help of the means of the lingual code. The purpose of the article is to present the text of the book of memoirs «Homo feriens» in the aspect of individually-authoring comprehension of the knowledge about the emotional plan of the person, which is connected with the realization of the phenomenon of joy as a universal sense. In accordance with the goal the following tasks have been put: to highlight text segments that correlate with the translation of value sense of «joy»; trace the deployment of a defined value sense under the modus radical; to define lingual signals for actualization of value sense; to characterize the phenomenon of joy in the aspect of the dichotomy of apriori and aposteriori senses. The suggested method of phenomenological analysis revealed the intentional presence of the phenomenon of joy in the mind of the writer. The reason for this was the allocation of a semantically integral system of author idiogloses, which in the text statements express a personally-subjective value relationship, which is realized as an intention, the implementation of which leads to the discursive deployment of sense, fixed by the outline in the text of the supraphrase unities, marked by the specificity of the modus-like organization of the deep structures in the text. The results of the analysis produce generalizations that are relevant to apriori and aposteriori character perception of the phenomenon of joy as a text sense: 1. The reflection of joy as the current apriori text sense is carried out within the context being formed by means of the lexicalsemantic and syntactic organization of supraphrase unities, and is characterized by the outline of the faces that reveal individual and authorial accents in understanding of this phenomenon in view of the actualization of other phenomena relevant to its comprehension, intentionally present in the mind of the writer. 2. The embedding of the basic textual sense, fulfilling the author’s intention, is accompanied by the generation of specific aposteriori sense, denoted by the affirmation of the phenomenon of joy as a value and associated with the actualization of the so-called author’s formulas in the structure of supraphrase unities.

This article examines the limits of Heidegger’s ontological description of emotionality from the period of Sein und Zeit and Die Grundbegriffe der Metaphysik along the lines outlined by Lévinas in his early work De l’existence à l’existant. On the basis of the Lévinassian concept of “il y a”, we attempt to map the sphere of the impersonal existence situated out of the structured context of the world. However the worldless facticity without individuality marks the limits of the phenomenological approach to human existence and its emotionality, it also opens a new view on the beginning and ending of the individual existence. The whole structure of the individual existence in its contingency and finitude appears here in a new light, which applies also to the temporal conditions of existence. Yet, this is not to say that Heidegger should be simply replaced by Lévinas. As shows an examination of the work of art, to which brings us our reading of Moravia’s literary exposition of boredom (the phenomenon closely examined in Die Grundbegriffe der Metaphysik), the view on the work of art that is entirely based on the anonymous and worldless facticity of il y a must be extended and complemented by the moment in which a new world and a new individual structure of experience are being born. To comprehend the dynamism of the work of art in its fullness, it is necessary to see it not only as an ending of the world and the correlative intentional structure of the individual existence, but also as their new beginning.

Inspired by Vargo & Lusch’s Service-Dominant Logic (SDL) and relying on the Austrian School’s individualism and subjectivism, we use knowledge from economics to better support the discussion of the primary topic of Marketing: that of value creation. Specifically, we draft a Value-Dominant Logic. We provide ten foundational premises stemming from the recognition that value is subjective and, consequently, cannot be created by entrepreneurs or firms. Entrepreneurs and firms propose value, but subjective value can only be perceived, created and thus experienced in the individual consumer’s mind. By adopting the perspective that logically follows from this understanding, the disciplines of management and marketing will be better able to narrow the uncertainties of the market process, and entrepreneurs can make better decisions about how to help consumers overcome felt uneasiness by adopting their proposed solutions.

Problem statement. It is shown that the main scientific vectors of the study of the personality image of the future can be considered philosophical, sociological, psychophysiological and psychological. In psychology, the future is revealed as a property of the mental. It is determined that the psychological phenomenology of the image of the future is that it is a holistic view of the individual about the future. It is in the mind and constantly affects behavior, activities, and its emotional state. The ability of an individual to construct his own future is due to the peculiarities of his individual psychological representations. This aspect is little studied in psychological science.  The purpose of the article is to present methods and techniques of research of representations and designing the world image of the future by the person. Results of the research. It is noted that the process of forming the image of the future is not only a vision of the end result, but also the impact on the assessment of behavior, consolidation of moral, volitional, intellectual efforts to realize their own expectations. This emphasizes the subjective nature of this process. In the framework of the research of mental representations and the peculiarities of constructing personality images of the future in a particular individual context were identified the mediative and moderative components that influence this phenomenon. The author’s method of assessing the world image of the future is presented. It is a technique of subjective scaling — that is, it shows how the individual imagines his future. To assess the relationship between the studied indicators, which are operationalized as concepts of psychosemantic analysis, a multidimensional deployment was used. Conclusions and prospects for further research. It is concluded that the psychosemantic approach is the most informative in the identified abilities of the individual to construct images of their own future. It is noted that the prospects for further research will be to identify the re lationship between forms and strategies for building mental representations of the image of the future with strategies for individual behavior in difficult life situations.

AbstractThis lecture delivered at Victoria College, University of Toronto, concentrates on defining the status to be accorded to any universals. Underlining his desire that semiotics avoid epistemological dissensions and focus instead on establishing its effectiveness, Greimas recalls that he has adopted an “agnostic” constructivist stance and thus declined to affirm whether universals exist in the world or only in the mind. Following Hjelmslev’s middle way, he has identified a set of undefinable terms, then employed them to define each other in a coherent deductive axiomatic. Empirically, he distinguishes different kinds of universals. Absolutely necessary such terms include the interdependent concepts of description and relation. He further distinguishes between paradigmatic and syntagmatic universals. The former notably include the elementary category of the collective semantic universe, nature-culture, and that of the individual semantic universe, life-death. For his fundamental syntactic universal, Greimas declined to adopt the traditional propositional form comprising subject, copula, and predicate, and has opted instead for an alternative featuring a verbal kernel to which are articulated actants defined through grammatical cases. Semiotics identifies these and other hypothetical universals as metalinguistic terms which describe language and other systems of representation, and which define the conditions of their production and comprehension. In contrast to narratology, semiotics thus situates narrative universals within a comprehensive theory of meaning, with a goal to develop the bases of the human sciences in a manner parallel to the foundations of the life sciences.

?MUSCULAR CHRISTIANITY? was a system which relied upon sport to allow people to grow in a moral and spiritual way along with their physical development. It was thought that . . . in the playing field boys acquire virtues which no books can give them; not merely daring and endurance, but, better still temper, self restraint, fairness, honor, unenvious approbation of another?s success, and all that ?give and take? of life which stand a man in good stead when he goes forth into the world, and without which, indeed, his success is always maimed and partial [Kingsley cited from Haley, in Watson et al].1 This system of thought held that a man?s body is given him to be trained and brought into subjection and then used for the protection of the weak, the advancement of all righteous causes [Hughes, cited in Watson et al].1 The body . . . [is] . . . a vehicle by which through gesture the soul could speak [Blooomfield, cited in Watson et al].1 In the 1800s there was a strong alignment of Muscular Christianity and the game of Rugby: If the Muscular Christians and their disciples in the public schools, given sufficient wit, had been asked to invent a game that exhausted boys before they could fall victims to vice and idleness, which at the same time instilled the manly virtues of absorbing and inflicting pain in about equal proportions, which elevated the team above the individual, which bred courage, loyalty and discipline, which as yet had no taint of professionalism and which, as an added bonus, occupied 30 boys at a time instead of a mere twenty two, it is probably something like rugby that they would have devised. [Dobbs, cited in Watson et al]1 The idea of Muscular Christianity came from the Greek ideals of athleticism that comprise the development of an excellent mind contained within an excellent body. Plato stated that one must avoid exercising either the mind or body without the other to preserve an equal and healthy balance between the two.

Abstract One of the most important paradigm shifts in the history of Greek philosophy was the ‘rediscovery’ of transcendence in the movement of Intermediate Platonism. Less than a century before the birth of Hellenism (late 4th century BC), Plato had advocated an intentional preoccupation with the life of the mind / soul, encouraging the individual to avoid being entrapped in the material limitations of life and instead discover its transcendental dimension. The conquest of Athens by the Macedonians, followed by the invasion of the Orient by Alexander the Great, set in motion sociological and cultural changes that challenged the relevance of Platonic philosophy. The transcendental vision of Platonism left the individual still struggling to find happiness in the world created by Alexander the Great. This was the context in which the schools the of Cynicism, Stoicism, Epicureanism and Skepticism challenged Platonism with their call to happiness in this world and by means of the Hellenistic dominance and the rise of Roman supremacy stirred a renewed spiritual and philosophical effort to rediscover the world beyond; that is, the transcendental world of Plato. This was Middle Platonism and the Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandria was one of its most prolific writers. In this paper, we will examine the concept of the soul in the writings of Philo, with an emphasis on the role that the soul plays in the act of approaching God through the means of the external / material cult (Temple, sacrifices, priests, etc.). Philo offers a complex vision of the soul, one that remains critically relevant to understanding the Greek, Jewish, and Christian thought that emerged after Philo.

The relevance of the research is conditioned upon the problem of developing a communicative culture among students, considering the influence of the artistic component, both its professional part and the social one, explained by the introduction of the presented artistic image into the life of the younger generation. The purpose of the article is to develop a model for the development of communicative culture among students. The leading method to investigate this problem is the B.I. Dodonov method, studying the emotional, motivational component of the personality, considering the emerging emotional background as a value on which the health and quality of life of a person depend. Depending on being in a certain artistic component, an individual has various experiences at the psycho-emotional level, which form a motivational environment for perceiving the world and the course of personal actions based on getting into various life situations. This model, based on artistic practices, creates conditions for the holistic development of the individual, aimed at preserving psychological and physical health, both personal and others, which is of practical importance for the education and well-being of society.


A way out of the deepening global crisis is possible through a fundamental change in the methodology for realizing holistic reality. The traditional mechanics-materialistic science clearly ignores the integrity of the world and man, his spirituality. Trialectics as a true method of comprehending the living integral world and developing in its course a new personal methodology is based on the recognition of the three-pointed personality ‒ the spiritual and bio-social nature of man, the specificity of which as a representative of a special conscious natural kind is determined by humanity, in which the freedom of personal benevolent creativity lies. The three-person nature of a man, his humanity, is reflected in unome as the initial deep-seated code of human life-unfolding — a potential universality-quality of the life process of unfolding a personality that reaches its highest form in every act of a personality when its self-realization acquires the personal quality of freedom-responsibility. The comprehension of the unom, which includes the genome and the memon, is aimed at setting the purity of the transformations of the economy of human senses-values, which allow exploring the deep spiritual and semantic unity of the separate economic entities. Unomics is a new fateful science of humanity, which aims to explore and substantiate the benevolent format of the life activity of the individual-microcosm act, based on the understanding-deployment of the syncretic dimension of the value-semantic Universe (macrocosm). It requires a spiritually experienced, existential basis for the knowledge of an economic person, which asserts the supremacy of the individual. The format «unomics ‒ globalistics» is revealed. In understanding the unom of the personality, the primary role is played by the problem of studying its existentials, which define the meanings of life ‒ economic production that is productive for humanity. Three main existentials of human existence are: spirituality, freedom and responsibility (V. Frankl). Their comprehension in the new format of trialectics allowed to go deeper into the understanding of the existential «freedom-responsibility». The third existential in the being of a human is love.

The article focuses on the little-studied interrelationship between the human way of being and education. The goal of the study is twofold. First, it is to reconstruct the image of the individual that lies at the basis of the scholars’ worldview. Secondly, it is to develop a model of philosophy that would correspond to this image and correlate with the problems and challenges of modern education. Drawing attention to the widespread use of information and electronic technologies in education, the author argues that the model of human being as embodied presence (embodiment) is very important for pedagogical activities. The significance of this model is that it enables to distinguish the meaning-making dimension of human consciousness so needed by contemporary education. The author demonstrates that an individual sees and cognizes the world not so much with the organs that are available and ready, but rather with those that are constituted in the acts of reflexing. Meaning, therefore, is the reflexive functional organ that reproduces the substance of the personality of a human being as a student. The author also notes that the perception and comprehension of the world is carried out from the perspectives of both the “pure” and the embodied mind. Thus, one of the main tasks of education is to engage and reveal the mind-body system as a source of the subject’s meaning-making activity. So, orienting education towards the individual as a being who does not possess meanings but searches for them will succeed only if the human being is viewed as an integral whole rather than as separate parts. The author concludes that both philosophy and pedagogy need to develop educational anthropology, an interdisciplinary area that would explore the subject of education in the integrity of their three dimensions – mind, body and language, taken as sources of creating meanings.

Descartes considera la medicina e la morale come due discipline accomunate dal conseguimento – ciascuna con mezzi e metodi propri – di un fine comune: la salute psicofisica sia come valore in sé, sia come indispensabile premessa per cogliere la felicità in questo mondo. Infatti, se l’uomo non è una “macchina animale”, ma un “composto umano” di anima e di corpo, allora bisogna riconoscere che la medicina e la morale mirano entrambe all’integrità di questo composé humain: l’una guardando al corpo unito alla mente, l’altra alla mente unita al corpo. Sulla scia degli studi condotti sulla machine animale, Descartes aveva tentato di elaborare una medicina anti-animista fondata sui princìpi della meccanica animale; ma, se è vero che tutto si spiega meccanicisticamente nell’organismo, è anche vero però che i princìpi meccanicistici non sono in grado di spiegare la totalità del composé humain, ossia dell’individuo composto di anima e corpo. Da qui la necessità di passare da una medicina basata sulla fisica pura ad una medicina basata sul composto sostanziale, e quindi dall’assoluto meccanicismo fisico al teleologismo psicofisico. Su queste premesse Descartes elabora un particolare concetto di natura su una duplice direttrice di pensiero: da un canto, egli si riallaccia a Ippocrate in merito alla natura intesa come medico delle malattie; dall’altro, apre la strada a certe suggestioni sulla medicina naturale, che invita l’uomo ad ascoltare la natura, quale fonte di rimedi ai suoi mali. ---------- Descartes considers medicine and ethics as two disciplines connected by the achievement – each with different means and methods – of a common goal: psychophysical health, both as a value in itself and as an essential condition to experience happiness in this world. Indeed, if man is not an “animal machine”, but a “human mixture” of soul and body, then it has to be recognised the medicine and ethics both target the integrity of this composé humain: one seeing the body linked to the mind, the other looking at the mind linker to the body. In line with the contribution on the machine animale, Descartes had attempted to develop an anti-animist medicine based on the principles of animal mechanics; however, if it is true that everything can be explained mechanistically in the body, it is also true that mechanistic principles cannot explain the entirety of the composé humain, i.e. the individual made of soul and body. Thus the necessity to move from a medicine purely based on physics to a medicine based on a substantial mixture; therefore, from the absolute physical mechanism to psychophysical teleology. On these conditions Descartes develops a specific concept of nature based on two ideas: on one hand, he looks at Hippocrates regarding the concept of nature seen as a healer of illness; on the other, opens the door to various intuitions of natural medicine that suggests that man should look at nature for remedies to his problems.
