The paper attempts to embed the experience of being a mother to a child with intellectual disabilities in a noetic (spiritual) perspective of human functioning. According to the noo-psychotheoretical assumptions (Popielski, 2018) constructed on the basis of Viktor Frankl’s concept of logotherapy (2009), finding and fulfilling the meaning of life is the highest human need and a kind of metamotivation. The suffering resulting from motherhood is seen as a borderline experience, in which the existential situation so far is revalued and the meaning appears to be the acceptance of an attitude of moral heroism towards the inevitable fate.

Future Practice

The need for inclusive environments accommodating the entire range of human functioning, both people with disabilities as well as those who are not presently disabled, has not been achieved despite decades of discussion and a growing list of standards and legislation. Perhaps because disability has always been a part of human existence and has been part of the discourse in environmental design for decades, it is not viewed as emergent and the inclusion of people with disabilities is not seen as a crisis. Nonetheless, people with disabilities represent one of the largest marginalised segments of our population. Inclusion does not subvert the other issues with regard to function or aesthetics but fulfils all criteria necessary to achieve good design. This paper explores critical aspects of emancipatory research and identifies opportunities for what should rightly be called emancipatory design. The most significant characteristics relevant to developing emancipatory design values include: 1) redistributing power within the social relationships of design; 2) adopting the biopsychosocial model of disability; and 3) facilitating users’ reciprocity, gain and empowerment. These fundamental strategies are necessary to ensure a long-term engagement in social justice and achieve good design. Inclusive design is essentially a value-based process, which takes as its premise the fact that everyone has a right to participate in community life. Consequently, a powerful argument to support the importance of teaching inclusive design is the need to assist students in the development of their own set of values to underpin their future practice as built environment professionals. Inclusive design can fulfil this important function. It is clear that teaching students to administer technical codes or interpret legislation for equal rights is an important part of the preparation of a student for professional practice, but this approach without the philosophical underpinning is unlikely to result in an inclusive environment.1

Bohdan Ihor Antonych was one of the most remarkable modernist Ukrainian poets of the twentieth century. He left an extraordinary lite rary legacy with just a handful of books of published poetry despite his premature death at the age of twenty-eight in 1937. He was a poet, literary critic, translator, and journalist. From the outset of his literary career, in the context of western Ukrainian literature, his poetry had a diff erent sound and texture to it. Antonych’s literary interests were unconventional for his milieu: he concerned himself with the metaphysical, philosophical, and metapoetic issues. The power of his accomplishment is that he restored the human need, suppressed by centuries of colonization, for metaphysical, non-political meditation on the meaning of life, eternity and art, rather than -- as it was in a previous Ukrainian literary canon -- in the name of national interests, where literature had to play a didactic role designed to amplify the patriotic feelings of a reader. Antonych mastered the poetic language of antithesis and paradoxes, and by using it he rises from the level of personal experience to that of a universal archetype.

The Law

This paper aims to present several theories about how important to understand maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah when someone wants to study a law in Islam, someone cannot be separated from that context. Maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah is a barometer or the main standard of consideration in the formulation of shari'ah with the aim of benefit the Ummah, and Islam consistently makes  maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah in all its rules. The thinking of Ibn ‘Āsyūr about maqāṣid is built on this principle, that it’s imperative to accept the concept of ta‘līl. The theory of maqāṣid rests on three basic concepts; (a). Maqāṣids are sometimes qath‘ī and ḍannī (assumptive). (b). Maqāṣid ‘āmmah and khaṣṣhah (c). Al-maqām, al-istiqrā ’and distinguish between waṣilah and purpose in the application of fiqh law. Every phenomenon that has great potential for maslahah it can be stated to be included in the maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah. On the other hand the human need is not to know the maqāṣid al-syāri‘ itself, but to find a law for a new case that has no prescribed text. Ontology of maqāṣid al-syarī'at al-khāssah is also a value, because knowing the law for that case is complete with the text, now the needed for a new case, so the ontology of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah in this dimension is a transcendent value to refer when conducting tahqīqal-manāt.

The Aesthetic

This book is about the universal human need to aesthetically experience the world around us. To this end, it examines three appreciative contexts where aesthetic value plays a central role: art, nature, and the everyday. The book concludes by asking: what is the place of the aesthetic in a good life? An equally important theme explores the way the aesthetic interacts with other values—broadly moral, cognitive, and functional ones. No important appreciative practice is completely centered on a single value and such practices can only be fully understood in terms of a plurality of intersecting values. Complementing the study of aesthetic appreciation are: (1) An analysis of the cognitive and ethical value of art; (2) an attempt to answer fundamental questions in environmental aesthetics, and an investigation of the interface between environmental ethics and aesthetics; and (3) an examination of the extent to which the aesthetic value of everyday artifacts derives from their basic practical functions. The book devotes special attention to art as an appreciative context because it is an especially rich arena where different values interact. Artistic value is complex and pluralistic, a value composed of other values. Aesthetic value is among these, but so are ethical, cognitive, and art-historical values.

The present paper describes excellence as one of the major concerns in varied domains because it seems to be one of the most effective ways to ensure optimal human functioning. The society in which one grows up determines to a large extent that how we perceive excellence and the goal of getting the best out of our life. Excellence as a concept has seldom been the subject of academic scrutiny. The purpose of this paper is to consider excellence as a multifactorial entity in terms of its components and research fields. Excellence does not urge us to be at the top in every single aspect of life, rather it allows excelling in any particular area of work where we can really make a difference. In essence, excellence is the pathway for success at work, at home and in life in general. It is all about being the best one can be and maximizing our gifts, talents and abilities to perform at our highest potential. Therefore, the promotion of excellence is necessary to determine superior performance of individuals in different fields of knowledge and for understanding the true meaning of life filled with maturity and integrity.

The Church

Main Street in Sarasota, Florida. A high-tech medical arts building rises from the east end, the county's historic three-story courthouse is two blocks to the west and sandwiched in between is the First Church of Christ, Scientist. A verse inscribed on the wall behind the pulpit of the church reads: “Divine Love Always Has Met and Always Will Meet Every Human Need.” This is the church where William and Christine Hermanson worshipped. It is just a few steps away from the courthouse where they were convicted of child abuse and third-degree murder for failing to provide conventional medical care for their seven-year-old daughter.This Article is about the intersection of “divine love” and “the best interests of the child.” It is about a pluralistic society where the dominant culture reveres medical science, but where a religious minority shuns and perhaps fears that same medical science. It is also about the struggle among different religious interests to define the legal rights of the citizenry.
