In this article, Arendt’s philosophy is put forward as both republicanism and existentialism. The common denominator is the concept of judgment as the way in which political individuals take into account the perspective of fellow acting and thinking human beings. In presenting Arendt’s philosophy of public speech and public judgment, this contribution argues that there is no tension between acting and thinking in Arendt’s philosophy. They are both ruled by a critical faculty by which we are aware of the communicability and universality of our reasons for intervening, imagining and judging other people’s lives.

AbstractOne of the characteristic aspects ofViveiros de Castro’s perspectivismis the relative rather than absolute character of subject/object positions. In the Altaian context, animals are not attributed with subjectivity in the way found in Amazonian cosmologies. Still, the subject position is not particular to humans: the landscape is populated by masters of a both human and nonhuman kind. The terminological division of animals into wild (a?dar-kushtar) and domesticated (mal) in Altaian language is analogical to the human/animal division in Amazonia. Wildness and domesticity thus become relative categories defined with reference to the idiom of the master. What is wild for a human master is domesticated for a nonhumanmaster. Here, the common denominator is a sort of ‘livestock-morphism’:what for the human hunters looks like a deer is a cowfrom the point of view of the forest masters. If conducted improperly, hunting is thus analogous to livestock theft – morality transcends perspectivism in Altai. Exploring this ‘pastoralist perspectivism’ leads to questions about subjectivity and agency, ethics and ownership. The discussion is finally placed ‘into perspective’ by showing thatAltaians do not operate with a single idea of the animal and human–animal relationship.

This article intends to highlight the importance of the psychotherapeutic relationship and the way with which it is viewed by the Existential-Humanistic approach to psychotherapy and counseling. The introduction includes a brief overview of the various existential approaches and the common way with which they all view therapy. The article continues by relating the basic premises of the Existential-Humanistic approach as well as its understanding of human beings and of the process of psychotherapy. Furthermore, the factors that contribute to the establishment of the psychotherapeutic relationship are being analyzed. The Existential-Humanistic approach to psychotherapy gives emphasis to the value of a true dialogue between two human beings who are there serving the interests of the one. In order for the therapeutic relationship to be effective there needs to be a clear framework that helps the members feel safe. In this “sanctuary” the two individuals have an “I-Thou” encounter. The “presence” of both parties serves as the catalyst for change through this mutual and honest way of relating.

Materials handling is one of the fundamental activities of mankind, and the common denominator of all industry, yet it has been relatively neglected by engineers and managers generally. In the United States realization is growing that materials handling accounts for the largest single activity cost in much of manufacturing and distribution. Although many individuals are fully conscious of this, companies differ widely in this recognition and in the way they are trying to improve their materials handling activities. The aims of this lecture are to clarify the major objectives of a materials handling programme; to show how progressive companies are organizing for materials handling; to describe the scope of the good materials handling programme; the type of individuals to be placed in charge; the authority and responsibilities to be delegated to them, and the ways in which these activities co-ordinate with, and contribute to, other aspects of the plant. Techniques of analysing materials handling problems and the characteristics of basic materials handling devices are presented briefly. Some fifteen significant trends in American materials handling practice will be discussed and briefly illustrated by case examples.

When we hear about science, a certain fear of formulae, complex reactions and theories comes to our mind. But have we ever thought of science as a concept beyond the textbooks? If we can understand how things work, why certain things happen the way we see them or what causes certain phenomena, science will no longer be limited to textbooks. The best way of familiarizing society to science is to first simplify it to an extent where the common man understands it not as magic but as a happening with proper reasoning. As per my opinion, science is the way of thinking how and why things happen around us. The reason gives the science behind it. Science has the power of existence. Science is not a subject to learn; it is the power of thinking. In a world where technology surpasses everything, science has still managed to find utmost importance in everyday life. Without science, technology wouldn't flourish and without technology, science would not have got the respect it deserves. I don’t know why, but we have divided science into different branches,for example physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology etc. Now they have become major subjects and have been divided into smaller branches. I think, these different branches or subjects are nothing but the various ways of thinking over the same problem. Science is all about understanding. All branches of science have made tremendous progress in giving directions to thoughts and ideas. This has ultimately led mankind to make advancements in all areas related to science. Whenever there is a new discovery or invention, it proves that we are taking science a step ahead, making it more accessible to the common man and in the course providing solutions to even the smallest of problems. If you don’t understand science, you will continuously feel that magics are happening in nature. There is nothing magical in the world of science, only our sense of power has some limits and that is why we are unable to experience or sense the waves and tiny matters. There are lots of phenomena happening in nature continuously with a reason. If we want to understand the reason behind it then we will definitely have to convert that reason into technology. Science is truly a fascinating world, where we see the tiniest inventions becoming the biggest comfort or the biggest discoveries helping mankind to leap forward without any hurdles. It is only due to the understanding of science, more importantly rocket science, that the sky is now no longer a limit. Man has also been able to give a reasonable scientific explanation to most of the so-called magical phenomena of nature. It is only because of science which is the backbone of technology, that man is able to achieve the comfort of happy living, by decoding problems while treading on the path of innovative thinking. So, every student has to learn conceptual basic science. You can understand science once you start thinking in a proper way. Every student needs to generate the habit of thinking on any problem. This will slowly decrease the fear about science. Lastly, to conclude I want to say that Science is the sixth sense for human beings so try to use it to experience the lovely and fascinating world.

The central ideal of rabbinic Judaism is that of living by the Torah, that is, God’s teachings. These teachings are mediated by a detailed normative system called halakhah, which might be translated as ‘the Way’. The term ‘rabbinic law’ captures the form of halakhic discourse, but not its range. Appropriate sections of halakhah have indeed served as the law of Jewish communities for two millennia. But other sections relate to individual conscience and religious observance and are enforceable only by a ‘heavenly court’. Although grounded in Scripture, halakhah’s frame of reference is the ‘oral Torah’, a tradition of interpretation and argument culminating in the twenty volumes of the Talmud. God’s authority is the foundational norm, but it is only invoked occasionally as superseding human understanding. Indeed, the rabbis disallowed divine interference in their deliberations, asserting, in keeping with Scripture, that Torah is ‘not in heaven’ (Bava Metzia 59b, citing Deuteronomy 30: 12). Given the lack of binding dogma in Judaism, halakhic practice has often been regarded as the common denominator that unites the Jewish community. The enterprise of furnishing ‘reasons of the commandments’ (ta’amei ha-mitzvot), central to many thinkers in Judaism, accordingly reveals a great diversity of orientations. These range, in medieval Judaism, from esoteric mystical doctrines to Maimonides’ rational and historical explanations; and among modern writers, from moral positivism to existentialism.

Abstract. This editorial gives a brief introduction to the six articles included in the fourth “Hotspots in Psychology” of the Zeitschrift für Psychologie. The format is devoted to systematic reviews and meta-analyses in research-active fields that have generated a considerable number of primary studies. The common denominator is the research synthesis nature of the included articles, and not a specific psychological topic or theme that all articles have to address. Moreover, methodological advances in research synthesis methods relevant for any subfield of psychology are being addressed. Comprehensive supplemental material to the articles can be found in PsychArchives ( https://www.psycharchives.org ).

AbstractLookism is a term used to describe discrimination based on the physical appearance of a person. We suppose that the social impact of lookism is a philosophical issue, because, from this perspective, attractive people have an advantage over others. The first line of our argumentation involves the issue of lookism as a global ethical and aesthetical phenomenon. A person’s attractiveness has a significant impact on the social and public status of this individual. The common view in society is that it is good to be more attractive and healthier. This concept generates several ethical questions about human aesthetical identity, health, authenticity, and integrity in society. It seems that this unequal treatment causes discrimination, diminishes self-confidence, and lowers the chance of a job or social enforcement for many human beings. Currently, aesthetic improvements are being made through plastic surgery. There is no place on the human body that we cannot improve with plastic surgery or aesthetic medicine. We should not forget that it may result in the problem of elitism, in dividing people into primary and secondary categories. The second line of our argumentation involves a particular case of lookism: Melanie Gaydos. A woman that is considered to be a model with a unique look.

Motives of espionage against ones own country in the light of idiographic studies The money is perceived as the common denominator among people who have spied against their own country. This assumption is common sense and appears to be self-evident truth. But do we have any hard evidences to prove the validity of such a statement? What method could be applied to determine it? This article is a review of the motives behind one's resorting to spying activity which is a complex and multifarious process. I decided to present only the phenomenon of spying for another country. The studies on the motives behind taking up spying activity are idiographic in character. One of the basic methodological problems to be faced by the researchers of this problem is an inaccessibility of a control group.

Muslim Culture

The typology of rationality is one of major issues of modern philosophy. In an attempt to provide a typology to Oriental materials, a researcher faces additional problems. The diversity of the Orient as such poses a major challenge. When we say “Oriental,” we mean several cultures for which we cannot find a common denominator. The concept of “Orient” involves Arabic, Indian, Chinese, Turkish and other cultures, and the only thing they share is that they are “non-Western.” Moreover, even if we focus just on Islamic culture and look into rationality in this context, we have to deal with a conglomerate of various trends, which does not let us define, with full confidence, a common theoretical basis and treat them as a unity. Nevertheless, we have to go on trying to find common directions in thought development, so as to draw conclusions about types of rationality possible in Islamic culture. A basis for such a typology of rationality in the context of the Islamic world was recently suggested in A.V. Smirnov’s logic of sense theory. However, actual empiric material cannot always fit theoretical models, and the cases that do not fit the common scheme are interesting per se. On the one hand, examination of such cases gives an opportunity to specify certain provisions of the theory and, on the other hand, to define the limits of its applicability.
