The use of omissions by Emily Dickinson is one of the major characteristics of her poetry. She tried to reach maximum ellipsis and achieve the tightest structural compression. The unique feature in her use of omission is that most of the unsaid information in her poems is portrayed with the help of dashes. They indicate a missing word, phrase, emphasize a break, or they depict a sudden change in thought. Throughout the author's writing, the imagery and metaphors are drawn from her observations of nature and imagination. Emily’s use of specific words resulted in one - inability of comprehending her poetry with just one reading. The present article focuses on the examination of the omitted words in Emily Dickinson’s poetry. The analysis shows that she refined and removed inessential language and punctuation from her poetry. In many of her poems, abstract concepts and material things are used to describe one another, but the relationship between them remains elusive and uncertain.

Domestication is often portrayed as a long-past event, at times even in archaeological literature. The term domestication is also now applied to other processes, including human evolution. In such contexts, domestication means selection for friendliness or prosociality and the bodily results of such selective choices. Both such perspectives are misleading. Using dogs and modern humans as entry points, this paper explores why conceiving of domestication as a threshold event consisting of selection for prosociality is both incomplete and inaccurate. Domestication is an ongoing process, not a moment or an achievement. Selection in breeding, including for prosociality, is a part of many domestication histories, but it alone does not sustain this process over multiple generations. Further, much selection in domestication has little to do with human intention. Care, taming, commensalism, material things, and places are critical in carrying domestic relationships forward.

We often experience that we have ideas in our mind, which present possible things and incite us to produce some of them. But how can our ideas be intentional? And how can they give rise to actions? In his theory of exemplar causes, Suárez examines both problems and offers a comprehensive theory. The paper first discusses his solution to the intentionality problem, arguing that he subscribes to an act theory, according to which ideas are mental acts that are about something in virtue of their specific content. The paper then reconstructs his solution to the causation problem, showing that he appeals to efficient causation: ideas are powers and hence efficient causes that immediately produce other acts, thereby triggering the production of material things. The analysis of both problems sheds light on Suárez’s broader theory of cognitive activity by showing that he takes mental acts to be intrinsically intentional and productive.

The article is devoted to the autonomous meaning of the term «property» used by the European Court of Human Rights. Emphasis is placed on the fact that in national legal systems, approaches to defining the concept of proper-ty, property rights have been and remain different. The violation of property as ownership exclusively of material things, excluding other rights and interests (substantive legal interests), the application of a formal classification of objects of law leads to violations of the right of everyone to own, use and dispose of their property by public author-ities and local governments. property. As the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights is a source of law in the member states of the Council of Europe, national law cannot contradict the Convention and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights.It is noted that the European Court of Human Rights, applying the autonomous meaning of the term «proper-ty», which does not depend on the formal classification of property rights in the national legislation of the mem-ber states of the Council of Europe, applies the following approaches to the concept of «property», the concept and content of property rights. that would be compatible with national legal systems. As a result of the analysis of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, it was established that «property» is: 1) ownership of existing material things; 2) assets, including claims that the entity can claim to have at least a «legitimate ex-pectation» that they will be realized; 3) other rights and interests that constitute assets and can be considered as «property rights». Property that falls within the scope of Art. 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms constitute, inter alia, economic resources to which natural persons have no registered property rights, but which have originally belonged to their ancestors and parents for economic activities, as well as income that individuals receive from the use of these resources.

This article addresses the problem of corruption in Christian ethics based on the reference of God's word. Christians involved in corruption show that carrying out governmental duties is outside the control of God's word. To examine this topic more deeply, the author uses descriptive methods and literature studies. The results and conclusions of this study show that the corruptors prioritize the works of the flesh, worship material things, give in to worldly temptations, violate Christian morality, and do not glorify God in their lives. Those corrupt Christian bureaucrats who are dominated by greed and greed are not the characters expected by God, and by doing so, they lose the opportunity to be witnesses of Christ in the world. Corruption is bad behavior, so there is an opportunity for the church to pay attention to anti-corruption education for the congregation so that those who sit in government can carry out their duties and responsibilities by the demands of the Christian faith.AbstrakArtikel ini menyoroti permasalahan korupsi secara etika Kristen berdasarkan acuan firman Tuhan. Untuk mengkaji topik ini lebih mendalam, penulis menggunakan metode deskriptif dan studi literatur. Hasil dan kesimpulan dari studi ini menunjukkan bahwa para koruptor mengutamakan perbuatan daging, mendewakan materi, menyerah pada godaan keduniawian, melanggar moralitas Kristen dan tidak memuliakan Allah di dalam hidup mereka. Para birokrat Kristen yang korup itu dikuasai oleh sifat serakah dan tamak bukanlah karakter yang diharapkan oleh Tuhan dan dengan berbuat seperti itu mereka kehilangan kesempatan menjadi saksi Kristus di tengah dunia. Korupsi itu sebagai perilaku yang buruk maka terbuka peluang bagi gereja untuk memperhatikan pendidikan anti korupsi bagi jemaat agar mereka yang duduk dalam pemerintahan dapat menjalankan tugas dan tanggung jawabnya sesuai dengan tuntutan iman Kristen.

The number of beliefs that exist in this world makes the belief of every human being different from one another. Some believe in material things and some believe in immaterial things. But nowadays, belief or religion has a different role, one of which is in politics. Religion is used as a strong force to be used as a tool to achieve power and also as a protective shield. This shows that there is a social change in society in the form of a change in the role of religion. These different roles will be analyzed by a theory called modernism.

Posthumanism is a growing field of interdisciplinary study that has emerged, principally in the last 20 years, as a broad church which seeks to reconceptualize human beings’ relationships with the world. At its heart, Posthumanism seeks to destabilize and question the category of ‘human’, which it sees as having previously been treated as transcendent and ahistorical. In its place, the figure of the posthuman aims to capture the complex and situated nature of our species’ existence, outside traditional dichotomies like culture and nature, mind and body, person and environment, and so on. From animal studies (e.g. Despret 2016; Wolfe 2009), via a rekindled attention to the material world (Coole & Frost 2010) to the cutting edge of quantum physics (Barad 2007), Posthumanism draws on a diverse range of inspiration (Ferrando 2019). This diversity also covers a significant internal dissonance and difference, with some posthumanists taking relational approaches, others arguing for the essential qualities of things, some focusing primarily on material things without humans and others calling for explicitly feminist investigations.
