Aspects of emotional intelligence in man – “made new” Since the late nineties of the previous century research on emotional intelligence has received new impetus, mainly due to the work of Goleman in this field. This article focuses on emotional intelligence, especially from two points of view. Firstly, perspectives from Ephesians 4:20-24 are taken as point of departure to ascertain what is implied by “making new”, i.e the way of life and conduct of someone made new in mind and spirit. The way in which a person’s way of thinking is directed receives special attention as perceptions and feelings originate from the way in which one thinks and reflects on matters and situations. The command to discard old and sinful habits and to attire oneself with a new way of life plays a central role in the process of being made new in mind and spirit. Special attention is given to intercommunicative behaviour and the management of anger. In the second instance, the practical application of certain core aspects of emotional intelligence in the life of someone “made new” in spirit and mind is considered. A selection of definitions and models of research is touched upon and the following aspects typical of emotional intelligence are highlighted: self-awareness, awareness of one’s own feelings and those of others, as well as the effective controlling of emotions. The way in which emotions originate and are embedded in one’s way of thinking is highlighted, and ways of thinking to change the direction of emotions are suggested. Lastly certain practice-theoretical recommendations from a pastoral angle are made for those renewed in mind and spirit: a life “made new” should also reflect the acquisition of a new way of conduct, especially in applying ways of communicative behaviour and the practical management of anger.

The problem of modernism presented itself as a challenge to traditional Christianity. It argued in favor of different values, both human, as well as spiritual, that came into conflict with what Christianity had known up to that point. Frank C. Doan is one of the thinkers who spoke in favor of the spiritual and the need of this realm for the true seeker of the eternal. He also spoke against any kind of exagerations and obsolete forms of religion/spiritualty/preaching that were present in Christianity at the beginning of the XXth century. This article presents the way he Doan argued in favor of the spiritual, to the detriment of the materialist way of life, as well as a comparison with certain thinkers of his own time, some modernists, others traditionalists. The essay brings forth a century old set of arguments in order to aid the contemporary thinker and believer in setting forth a personal and better informed way of thinking about the historical heritage of religion in general and Christianity in particular.

In our article, we highlight the main functions of interjection phraseological units. In addition to what different experiences mean, they, like interjections, have certain distinctive features; As well as in stable phrases, in interjection phraseological units there is a single figurative meaning aimed at expressing the emotional component of the statement. The conclusions reached by the analysis: interjection phraseological units have the same functional and semantic features as interjections; in phraseological units, the linguistic, cultural, historical characteristics of the people are clearly manifested, they determine the way of thinking, way of life, character, character of a certain nation; their emotional component is demonstrated most expressively.

The article considers L.N. Tolstoy not only as a thinker who represents but also accomplishes Enlightenment. Through a comparison of his ideas with philosophy of Spinoza and Diderot, the author clarifies the aspects of the transition from Enlightenment to the unique Tolstoy’s religious and philosophical doctrine. A special attention is paid to the way of thinking, the relation to science and the specifics of the worldview of Tolstoy and Diderot. The contradiction between the way of thinking and the way of life of the three philosophers is revealed. The author also researches their philosophical interpretations of the nature of creative thought. Diderot describes the nature through the concept of paradoxism, Spinoza describes it with the concept of integrity, and Tolstoy uses the method of cohesion that he founds in literary works. If for the philosophers of European Enlightenment, the way of thinking is directly related to human nature, which is presented as a unity of natura naturans and natura naturata, then Tolstoy considers that the most important is a certain a priori sense of life, which is imbued with faith in God and with an instinct of self-giving that is love for the Supreme and other people. The method of cohesion leads Tolstoy away from the direct continuation of educational ideas, stressing the significance of appealing not only to reason but also to creative intuition. Tolstoy gradually moves away from rational perception of Life to its religious and existential foundations. Tolstoy’s worldview undergoes transition from the idea of a natural man to the idea of a human being who lives by commandments of Christ. Starting from the worldview of Enlightenment, Tolstoy comes to the creation of religious and philosophical doctrine, which is relevant to early 20th century.

It can be assumed that who we are will influence our way of learning and teaching. Education is concerned with content but the importance of awareness still remains in the background: students must adapt to their teachers, who, in turn, do not always have tools to understand the impact of their individuality on the way they teach. The Enneagram system proposes a new perspective on the teaching-learning continuum and provides a framework in which personality descriptions that account for differences and diversity can be placed, and a conceptual vocabulary to understand mental and emotional habits. This experimental and innovative contribution analyses how the Enneagram model can promote the development of soft skills, especially those related to self-awareness and emotional intelligence, in both teachers and learners.

     The aim of the study is to reveal the controversial features of the rhetoricians in order to identify the points of view in the rhetorical lesson and the way of thinking at that time which leads us to intellectual openness. The research focuses on one of the arts of semantics, which is restriction, because of the rhetorical attention it gets. This research enables the reader to identify the intellectual references of the rhetoricians because they have the most prominent influence on activating the controversies for each scientist has his own intellectual factor which is reflected on the assumptions and rhetorical analyses. The construction of deviational pragmatics creates an openness on the interpretative scopes, which is why scholars of rhetorics investigate the structure of restriction which was a wide space for the rise of dissenting voices among them and a source of great analytical debates of different texts. The controversies between rhetoricians revolve around the term, procedures, analysis, and directing rhetorical evidence. That is why we shed light on this issue which is scattered in the rhetorical books. We selected controversial issues in the style of the restriction to be the center of research based on a specific time to avoid losing the scientific material. Furthermore, the eighth century AH witnessed a stability of rhetorical terminology, which is why the current study has the title of (“Restriction” in the rhetorician controversies until  the end of the eighth century AH” ).

An understanding of the waste water nature, from both the qualitative and quantitative points of view, is a fundamental factor in the selection of treatment techniques and their subsequent operation. This is even more so in the case of small communities whose discharges are more subject to variation. An analysis of French data in this field provides values for small communities in rural areas (the majority). So far as other communities are concerned there are three examples which particularly illustrate the effects of the different factors (way of life…) on specific loads.

This chapter focuses on migrants’ journeys from their countries of origin to Morocco. The text analyses how phases of mobility and immobility are interdependent parts of the complex migration trajectories of my migrant research subjects. It explores the variety of obstacles that migrants encounter during travel towards Morocco, and the ways in which they continue to negotiate their social locations with respect to mobility along the way. By reviewing the variety of regulatory authorities (market, state and family) that structure their movement, I will show how aspirations and capabilities to migrate are produced and reproduced not only at the point of departure, but also along the way. Thus, rather than transiting through different places, the data shows how migrants’ journeys are best described as “fractured stays” in various places. These stays and the ways in which people travel do not leave them unchanged. Instead, it has a profound impact on themselves and their future migratory project. The migratory experience becomes a way of life which influences every other aspect of their identit

AbstractThe process of philosophical questioning has the power to form not only our way of thinking, but also the way we live. Both my sporting and academic career have made me think about the importance of asking good questions and undergoing the process of answering them. I decided to create a profession of philosophical consultation in sport which works with athletes and coaches of various ages. Consultants and athletes (clients) engage in a dialogue about important and interesting questions/topics in client’s life. This dialogical process is called philosophical consultation. It focuses on critical evaluation and development of client’s thinking, self-cognition, and attitudes/worldviews. Philosophical consultation helps athletes and coaches to look for their identity and achieve better self-awareness. It can be argued that consultation offers what Patočka calls the “care of the soul” (epimeleia peri tês psychês) or what Foucault calls the “care of the self” (epimeleia heautou), which are based on Socrates’ kind of philosophizing. It helps to achieve ancient ideals of kalokagathia and gnôthi seauton. The potential of using philosophy in sport hasn’t been fully discovered. Philosophical consultation is presented as a process of self-cognition and inner development. It has the potential to influence the care for well-being of athletes and coaches.I aim to explore the practical role of philosophy in sport. I will present possible connections between philosophy and sport and the historical predecessors of the concept of philosophical consultancy in sport. As well, we will discuss what philosophical consultancy is, how philosophical consultant works, and finally what are the challenges in bringing philosophical consultation into sport. Methods that are used in this interdisciplinary article are critical textual analysis, description, and interpretation of data.
