Abstract:

The purpose of the monograph is to clarify methodological approaches to understanding the phenomena of social consciousness and collective mentality. It offers the author's interpretations of these phenomena based on the worldview of philosophical personalism, attempts to conceptualize the features of the Russian meta-ethnic mentality that are modified under the influence of universalization processes, and analyzes modern challenges to the national public consciousness and the risks they pose. It is intended for a wide range of readers interested in socio-philosophical issues. It can be useful

Abstract:

Is it possible to be religiously exclusive and socially inclusive? How do we deal with those outside of our own religious community who have completely different and sometimes conflicting views on what should be considered true and right behaviour? What if a religious tradition orders the expulsion or killing of those who leave the faith community and adopt another worldview? This book focuses on biblical texts concerning exclusivity and apostasy, studying different interpretations of such texts. It starts with the Jewish and Christian tradition of the Hebrew Bible, continues with texts from t

Abstract:

This chapter explores how the collective ethos represented by groups such as the Players Association was threatened by another American ethos, one that had more deeply entrenched roots dating back to the nineteenth century, that itself felt threatened by the collective movement. This ethos—the individualistic, “positive thinking” movement—rejected the critical, often grim portrait of America drawn by the collectivists, and chose instead to embrace an optimistic worldview that depended upon the willful ignorance of the types of inconvenient facts often highlighted by the collectivists in their

Abstract:

This chapter theorizes what it means to say a person is a member of a particular society, thus carrying the “typical” moral worldview as a member of that society. Much sociological work explores variation within a particular society, but people also colloquially understand what it means to say that somebody is emblematically “French” or “American.” The chapter defends the proposition that a national “habitus” or “background” can be measured and is a way of quantifying the collective understanding and sentiments held by members of a society. It explains how this understanding captures a sense o

Abstract:

Biologically speaking, there is no such thing as race. Yet this seems to contradict the experiences of people in the United States and other countries where racial classification is used daily, by individuals and institutions. Race still matters, whether in wealth accumulation, educational achievement, health, the legal system, or in personal safety. How can race not be real when we experience its effects every day? Mukhopadhyay, Henze, and Moses systematically deconstruct the myth of race as biology and address the reality of race as a cultural invention, drawing on biocultural, historical, a

Abstract:

This chapter explores James Cameron’s filmAvatar, suggesting that in the utopian culture of the film’s heroes, the Na'vi, Cameron has created a world in which the cultural overcoming of nihilism is made possible by a form of fascism in which individuals are subsumed to the collective. The chapter discusses the philosophy of fascism, as well as drawing on nine principles of Nazi psychology, outlined by Jay Y. Gonen in his book The Roots of Nazi Psychology, in order to demonstrate the robust similarity between the Na’vi culture depicted in the film and the fascist/Nazi worldview. It is argued th

Abstract:

The Branch Davidians and Heaven’s Gate, two religious groups marked by apocalyptic worldviews, are compared to elucidate two types of trajectories of apocalyptic groups involved in violence. The Branch Davidians expected to be martyred based on David Koresh’s interpretations of the Bible’s prophecies about the events of the Last Days. Therefore, in 1993 they regarded assaults against their community by federal agents as verifying Koresh’s predictions. In 1997, the Heaven’s Gate “class” carried out what they regarded as an “exit” to The Level Above Human (TELAH) by implementing a collective rel

Abstract:

This chapter articulates the LOHAS vision of health as a three-part holistic model of self, society, and the natural world. In turn, “holistic” has been described in LOHAS more through Eastern perspectives rather than Western religious traditions in that it presupposes a state of interconnectedness of all phenomena—mind and matter, animal and human, global cultures and ecosystems. For example, the holistic worldview of Buddhism (a frequently called-upon tradition in LOHAS literature), understands that interdependence means that “humanity is only one actor” in the environment and that all actor

The best way to understand Bazin’s film theory is to pay attention to art, science, and religion, since spectatorship depends on perception, cognition, and hallucination. By arguing that this dissident Catholic’s worldview is anti-anthropocentric, Angela Dalle Vacche concludes that cinema recapitulates the history of evolution and technology inside our consciousness, so that we may better understand how we overlap with, but also differ from, animals, plants, objects, and machines.

Abstract:

Abstract Immanuel Kant claims that whenever we act on the moral law, we engage in a collective project to bring about a world that we can only grasp in reason. The resulting image of an ideal world, Kant calls the “highest good.” This is a challenging feature of Kant’s ethics. What, after all, is its use, if (as Kant claims) the moral law is sufficient to determine how we should act? What is the highest good actually good for in everyday life? In contrast to standard readings, which see the highest good’s main importance as related to action, The Reality of the Ideal presents a fresh perspecti

These norms lie within an ‘overlapping consensus’ of different moral theories and worldviews. In pluralist societies, we sho

Defending the view that Karl Jaspers’ concept of irrationality (Widervernunft) is better able to account for pathological patterns of individual and collective thinking, Karl Jaspers’ Theory of Irrationality: From Delusions to Worldviews argues that irrationality is incorrigibility, a blockage of reason as the will to communication. Highlighting the importance of freedom and creativity at the heart of reason (Vernunft), Daniel Adsett analyzes examples of delusional thought through a Jaspersian lens. He shows that irrationality arises when we hold to certain attitudes with an incorrigible convi

A paradox about emotions is that although we experience them directly through our minds and bodies, they appear to be vague and elusive when we try to talk about them. Consequently, most of the language used to speak about emotions is metaphorical. This observation is consonant with cognitive linguistics, which views metaphors as conceptual rather than purely verbal mechanisms. Emotions are one of the central matters of Buddhist philosophy, and language used to talk about them abounds in conceptual metaphors.
