Utuism would be an on-going individual positive struggle to shun off anything that would in any way demean the human integrity and dignity. It is a positive response towards the suffering other, and a relational celebration of life in the other human person and with the other human person.

The situation of the human in the XXI century: globalization challenges and European experience of responses

The paper analyzes the negative impact of technogenic civilization on the development of a human as integrity. The conceptual position of the research is the transdisciplinary idea that a human as integrity is one with all his/her conditions, with the whole world. Giving preference only to the external conditions of a human associated with technical progress led to his/her decline andself-destruction as integrity.The purpose of an investigation consists in showing the reasons of the destruction of human integrity today. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the modern conditions of human existence associated with the processes of globalization and rapid, negative changes in all spheres of the life of a society in a state of total crisis. It is noted that such conditions chaotize the internal processes of a human, “split” him/her as integrity, destroy the harmonization with other people.Filled with doubts, lacking development prospects and goals, such a human, like the whole society, loses the future.It is concluded that today the human situation is critical. It is necessary to immediately reorient all spheres of life of the society towards human development, harmonization of all his/her essential aspects as integrity. Changes in the public policy, human rights legislation, education and science must be a priority. It is noted that the key role in overcoming the modern anthropological crisis belongs to scientists who, using the EU experience, are able to create a new scientific field for polylogy and the search for optimal ways out of the situation. The transdisciplinary approach, which is actively developed by European transdisciplinary schools and centers, is particularly productive. This approach overcomes the gap between the subject and the object of cognition, between man and the world, and forms a new worldview of man in a new society. Such possibilities of the transdisciplinary approach fully correspond to the tasks of modern universities.

The Impact of Self-Review Intervention Method in Reducing Depression Symptoms

In this study, while explaining its theoretical and methodological foundations, some research examples suggest a decrease in these symptoms.

HUMAN IN THE DIGITAL WORLD: «DISTRIBUTED» AND INTEGRAL

Today digital technologies are the most important force that transforms both social relations and the human. At its early development stages, digital environment was seen as an opportunity for a human to be in the new world that exists independently of the physical world. Nowadays, online and offline worlds intertwine and form a «hybrid» environment where human exists in both worlds simultaneously. The main challenge of the digital environment is the challenge to the human integrity, which is seen as a fundamental human trait that allows human to be an independent and responsible actor who can acknowledge and respect another human being. In the present digital environment, human is «distributed», i.e. represented «fragmentarily» in different communications, various digital files, «distributed» between the online and offline worlds. Interaction between people used to be based on face-to-face communication, which gave the possibility to perceive another human integrally. The development of telecommunications creates a distorted, fragmented perception of the Other, who is thus seen as a digital being that has no real essence and hence does not deserve respect. It is shown in the paper that unconditional respect for the other human being is one of the most important evolutionary acquisitions, ensuring the existence of human communities. For this value to be preserved, it is important today to develop an ability to see the Other as an integral person in the new situation of the «hybrid» world.

Creative Destruction Theory Space as the Ultimate End for post-COVID-19 Recovery in Sub-Saharan Africa

The emergence of COVID-19 has made it ever more onerous for the world economy to rethink the way things are done and to be done. The need and almost compulsory way of services being catered for will never have been made so practically obvious without the influence of a pandemic like COVID-19. The world at some point in time was almost brought to a standstill, with services pertaining to supply-chain deliverables, education / professional development and many more almost brought to a halt. This paper has the platform for critically assessing the pathway SSA economies (SSA) should follow, notably creativity in new technologies, while adopting a stance on ISI approach in order to reduce its reliance on the importation of essential commodities, which seem to have been a worrying concern throughout the crisis of COVID-19. Suggestions for SSA economies to embrace the notion of creative destruction is the focal point in this paper for the realization of growth and development, while at the same time harnessing the power of human integrity to champion competitive innovation.

ATIVIDADES EDUCATIVAS EMANCIPADORAS NA FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES

This article is an instrument through which we problematize the discussion about the possibilities of developing emancipatory educational activities in teacher training courses based on Tonet's reflections (2013) and from de critical-historic pedagogy. We list four possible activities of this nature, taking into account the specificity of the educational dimension, the contradictions that permeate education in capitalism, the distinction between the immediate interests of the empirical students and the essential interests of the concrete students and, still, the dialectical reciprocity of the contents and forms of teaching, with the ontological priority of content over forms. Thus, such activities are proposed with the greatest concern for a teaching practice that values the critical promotion of the intellectual, scientific, artistic and philosophical level of teachers and students. It is a humanist stance, which defends the elaboration of criticism and human integrity against all the misrepresentations that this form of sociability imposes on us

Erschöpftes Bewusstsein

Almost 200 years have passed since the publication of E.T.A. Hoffmann's Der Sandmann and Alex Garland's science fiction film Ex Machina. And yet both ask amazingly similar questions about human integrity in the face of artificial intelligence. The humanoid machines act as objects of reflection, from which it can be seen that the essence of human beings is always only contoured in an omnipresent network of power relations and by imitating normative behavior patterns. These power relations and performative acts are discussed in more detail in this work, among other things, by referring back to the concepts of panoptism and performativity. Posthuman subjects are thus negotiated as both a danger and an enlightenment for the human being.
