Abstract:

My aim is to vindicate two distinct and important moral categories – ideals and aspirations – which have received modest, and sometimes negative, attention in recent normative debates. An ideal is a conception of perfection or model of excellence around which we can shape our thoughts and actions. An aspiration, by contrast, is an attitudinal position of steadfast commitment to, striving for, or deep desire or longing for, an ideal. I locate these two concepts in relation to more familiar moral concepts such as duty, virtue, and the good to demonstrate, amongst other things, first, that what i

"This paper wants to be an answer to nowadays’ paradigm of thinking. Contemporary views in the philosophy of time are traditionally categorized into presentism, (live the moment) which regards only the present as real and eternal, and assigns present reality equally to the past, present, and future. As we will notes in the paper the patristic debate of time and eternity provides a very close answer as modern thinking time philosophy to the questions: What is time? What is eternity? Both answered are considering “Today” as crucial bud the patristic view of “Today” as ontological salvation and t

Abstract:

This study examines the parts of the Awakening of Faith in Mahāyāna (AFM) quoted in the Huayanjing tanxuanji (Tanxuanji) and sheds light on how Fazang, as a Huayan master, understood and utilized the AFM in the Tanxuanji. In the Tanxuanji, the AFM is quoted 36 times, and the arousal of the thought of enlightenment is most frequently mentioned. Therefore, this study focuses on the arousal of the thought of enlightenment and reveals Fazang’s unique understanding of this concept within Huayan thought. First, Fazang understood the stage of the aspiration to awakening through the perfection of fait

Abstract:

The article considers questions of independent work optimization as particular students’ learning and cognitive activity organization, stimulating the necessity in self-education, self-studying and continual professional perfection. The effectiveness of students’ independent work is connected with the enlargement of the cognitive activity area, the individual’s attitude to its substance and aspiration for achieving the stated objectives. The students’ independent work optimization contributes to development of self-organization and self-studying skills, working out one’s own outlook and activi

The approach of my good friend Shachar illustrates the saying that uncompromising aspiration to perfection is a hindrance to progress. To me, his approach, whereby “we will only have our personal intuitions to tell us who was judged correctly, but our personal intuitions may be wrong”, is unacceptable, both in itself, and from the point of view of the conclusions to be drawn therefrom under Shachar's central thesis.A.

Descartes e a ideia de homem. Imperfeição e perfeição do homem Resumo: O autor nota, por um lado, que Descartes se refere a uma compreensão muito larga, mas também comum e corrente, do homem e, por outro, que o homem não pode ser identificado nem ao corpo, nem à alma, nem mesmo à união do corpo e da alma. Quando falamos da natureza humana, ela evoca o caráter de uma perfeição limitada, cuja particularidade é sua capacidade de ter o livre-arbítrio. A noção do homem enquanto sujeito de (não) perfeição é baseada sobre uma ideia que se define por uma relação à ideia do infinito sob a forma d

At arm’s length it defends Raz’s autonomy-centered perfectionism against some of Quong’s onslaughts, and then ponders the complexities of public goods while endeavoring to show—in opposition to Rawlsians such as Quong—that a host of policies favored by perfectionists (whether edificatory or aspirational) can credibly give rise to public goods.

Abstract:

Abstract As a theological disposition revealed in Scripture, the recognition of hope as an important virtue coincided with the radical transformation in virtue ethics in the early Middle Ages. As the ideals of pagan antiquity gave way to the Christian aspirations for the Kingdom of Heaven, early work on hope was strongly influenced by writers with a monastic background, such as Pope St Gregory the Great. The rise of scholasticism in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, however, gave an impetus to finding a coherent account of virtue ethics that would incorporate hope along with the other theo

Abstract This chapter argues that for Kant, the development of the civilized state increasingly destroys the possibility of the simultaneous satisfaction of our two basic human ends, perfection and wholeness. For this reason, Kant challenges two major views of the meaning of life based on these two ends, contemplation and happiness. Kant conceives of the contemplative philosophical life as a heritage of the ancient aspiration for human perfection. He conceives of happiness as a modern democratic end, one that aims to satisfy our natural drive for wholeness. Both views of the meaning of life tu

Abstract:

Abstract The Hellenistic period of ancient Judaism exhibits entanglement as an expression of vitality in which strands of Jewish thinking and Greek thinking are temporarily intertwined. Far from being bereft of complex thinking patterns, this period produces innovative engagement with philosophical questions about subjecthood, transformation, and perfection. The concept of imitatio dei or betselem Elohim captures an interior aspiration towards the formation of the self insofar as the subject is formed and it relates to its own perfection. The aspiration is not to be divinized, but rather to be

This chapter presents a novel interpretation of Nietzsche’s main early writings, The Birth of Tragedy and Untimely Meditations, as founding texts of existential modernism in philosophy.

It is argued that the seemingly anti-rational thrust of The Birth of Tragedy—the demand for a new kind of tragic culture and myth-making—needs to be understood in the light of the ethical vision of Un

Abstract Texts in Hellenistic Judaism draw on both earlier biblical materials and Greek thinking to think philosophically in new and dynamic ways about nature, human essence, creation, and abstraction of time and history.

Intellectual and spiritual work is about reflection and the pursuit of knowledge as a way of understanding human essence, and ultimately the pursuit of goodness. The subject is formed through di

In so choosing, and most of all in seeing the two questions as a choice, Overt is greatly influenced by the title’s ‘Master’, an older novelist called Henry St George, who confesses in a dramatic scene to having wasted his

In the history of culture, one of the most important periods in the study of the problem of the nature and formation of the �perfect man� was the historical stratum of medieval Islamic culture, in which the Sufi discourse played an important role.

Sufism played a significant role in the development of medieval Islamic culture and made its unique contribution to the concept of the �perfect man�. The Sufi
