Abstract:

Abstract In John Dewey’s logical theory, qualities or qualitative relations account for the capacity to distinguish and associate the objects of reflective thought; they are antecedent to reflective analysis and necessary for coherent processes of inquiry. In Dewey’s writings that are specifically “metaphysical” in orientation, he is much more vague about the function of qualities, but does call them “generic traits of existence.” As such, they appear to be central to his mature ontological theory. In order to more fully understand the metaphysical import of qualitative relations, I first exam

Abstract:

The article explains the metaphysical, culture-making and creative act sacrificing one’s own life in the name of higher values. At the beginning we discuss the causes of a contemporary cultural crisis and the disappearance of metaphysical attitudes. We have formulated a thesis that the revival of metaphysics in contemporary culture can be grounded in the experience of metaphysical qualities that are present in heroic acts of offering one’s own life for another. The next step in our analysis was to identify the necessary and sufficient conditions for self-sacrifice, and then, on the examples o

Abstract This paper discusses the metaphysical status of artefacts and their forms in the ancient commentators on Aristotle’s Metaphysics. Specifically, it examines the Peripatetic tradition and Alexander of Aphrodisias to then turn to the commentaries of the late Neoplatonist Asclepius of Tralles, and the Byzantine commentator Michael of Ephesus. It argues that Alexander is the pioneer of the interpretation of artefactual forms as qualities and artefacts as accidental beings. The fortune of this solution goes through Asclepius and Michael to influence Thomas Aquinas.

Abstract These are five playfully pessimistic meditations on the metaphysics of colour, arguing that metaphysical thinking does not fit well with the beautiful universe of colours: Neither Platonism nor relativism nor reductionism nor the distinction between primary and secondary qualities nor the denial of the existence of some colours at the expense of others offers convincing ways of dealing with the phenomena of colour. In the final, sixth meditation the standard analysis of magenta is challenged with some unorthodox ideas that can be traced back to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s colour rese

The question regarding the ontology is always curious, whether it is real or unreal, one or many, spiritual or material, etc. The concept of Reality is one of the most important problems in Jaina Metaphysics. Based on their pluralistic nature, Jainism describes the epistemological, and metaphysical doctrines as multidimensional. The theory of Anekanta deals with this multidimensional nature of reality. According to them reality is always incomplete, as there are innumerable modes of existence, and every mode is independent of the other. The essential and accidental qualities of an unchanging s

Abstract Lady Mary Shepherd’s critique of Hume’s account of causation, his worries about knowledge of matters of fact, and the contention that it is possible for the course of nature to spontaneously change relies primarily on three premises, two of which – that objects are merely bundles of qualities and that the qualities of an object are individuated by the causal powers contributed by those qualities – anticipate contemporary metaphysical views in ways that she should be getting credit for. The remaining premise – that it is impossible for an object to begin to exist uncaused – seems more

As a Platonist, Marsilio Ficino (1433–1499) was deeply interested in light and its qualities.

As a physician, he was naturally concerned with the human corporeality and with the relation of human body to the physical world, both terrestrial and astral. However, when discussing astronomical and optical phenomena (e.g. refraction of light in water, camera obscura, and concave mirrors), he sees them primarily not as physical realities but as sta

By contrast, literalist reformist and modernist discourses tend to shun the Quranic evidences of Divine immanence while emphasising exclusively the distance between God and His creation.

This article provides a summary of the Dalrymple Lectures delivered November 18–21, 2019. It examines the troubled, and troubling, idea of ‘civilization’, charting a path toward rehabilitation not as a descriptive category but as an analytic concept. Returning to the term's 18th century origins, civilization here describes neither a state of being nor a set of personal qualities but an apparatus, a machine that generates recognition by setting the material terms for who is like and who is Other. It does so through the generation of at least three forms of value – metaphysical, epistemic, and e

Abstract:

Abstract Are colors features of objects “out there in the world” or are they features of our inner experience and only “in our head?” Color perception has been the focus of extensive philosophical and scientific debate. In this paper we discuss the limitations of the view that Chalmers’ (2006) has characterized as Primitivism, and we develop Marmodoro’s (2006) Constitutionalism further, to provide a metaphysical account of color perception in terms of causal powers. The result is Power-based Constitutionalism, the view that colors are (multi-track and multi-stage) powers of objects, whose (ful

This article discusses the use of magic realism as a literary device in the Iraqi novel Frankenstein fī Bagdād written by Aḥmad Sa‘dāwiy. The novel is set in the period of inter-ethnic conflict which arose after the American invasion of 2003. Hādī, the main character of the novel, ‘creates a monster’ namely Syismah from the corpses of the many bomb victims in Baghdad. The writer combines setting of the novel with belief of the Iraq people, horoscope practice, and magic, in mystical and illogical atmosphere. Given its magic realist qualities, the analysis draws on the approach of Wendy B. Faris

The picture of the world that Leibniz proposes in his doctrine is undeniably remarkable. The created world we inhabit is, according to Leibniz, the best all possible worlds. And the world is the best because it is the masterpiece of the most perfect architect: God. God, who possesses all qualities and attributes in the highest degree, could only have acted in the best possible way in creation. According to Leibniz, such a noble task as the creation of the world could only have fallen to the supreme Being.

Abstract In the 2023 intergenerational dance project Superpower Ensemble, the participants were chosen for their individual qualities to form a greater ‘we’ as a group.

In this article, we aim to describe the subtle processes a choreographer initiates to achieve the intended aesthetic and ethical results. Our case story is Superpower Ensemble, and the theme investigated through the case story is ‘we-ness’. By describing these processes an

Abstract This article outlines the general history of American Evangelical Christianity’s textual response to the UFO phenomenon, framed by the literary genre of the jeremiad and as part of the apocalyptic turn of the twentieth century. Beginning with its early entanglement in the 1940s and moving to the present, it highlights the shifts in the narrative from angelic harbingers to demonic co-conspirators. The article pays particular attention to a new Evangelical approach to the phenomenon through novelization that at once mirrors contemporary politicization and utilizes the literary form to i

The essay is an attempt to describe different varieties of "darkness" present in Różewicz's oeuvre and co-creating the imaginarium of his work. The author reproduces the internal network of complex relationships connecting the theme of dark with related motives and qualities. The darkness itself is understood here as a figureof the imagination, which with particular force reveals the existential dimension of Różewicz's poetry, but is also a trace of metaphysical recognition and is closely associated with the "secret", represented in the poet's works as "dark" reality, internally "disturbed", "

Abstract:

One of the most interesting and widely discussed trends in modern epistemology is the so-called intellectual ethics, normative in its essence, centered around the concept of epistemic virtue, based on the idea of metaphysical anthropology, supplemented by elements of theology. The last consists in the idea of a certain “gift” to a person from the side of the Supreme Being, which is God – and this gift lies in the epistemic virtues inherent in the individual. This subject-centered concept emphasizes the intellectual and epistemic qualities of the cognizing subject that guarantee the truth of th

Often characterized as the "Monkey Mind" due to its tendency to wander, the mind can be effectively managed by heightening internal awareness through observation and acceptance of things as they are. Vipassana, an ancient mindfulness meditation rooted in yoga, is gaining recognition in the 21st century as a comprehensive approach to mental health and well-being.

We notice that Claude and Sandoz frequently use the key words of Schopenhauer’s aesthetics – the stimulating (or the charming), the sublime, the beautiful and the graceful – in their evaluation of works of fellow artists. We also prove that Claude’s inability to reconcile his artistic creation and his sexual love can be explained by the profound incompatibility between aesthetic contemplation – during which an artist shrinks away from the Will – and sexual desire, the latter being one of the ways the metaphysical Will manifests itself in a man. And finally, Claude does not try to represent in

The objects from this region are highly unusual because there are no other recorded instances of a sultan issuing or authorizing land grants on copper-plates. The Persian-language copper-plates appear from the sixteenth century onwards, and seem to be later copies of (or extracts from) paper-based charte

Culture is a wider matrix than religion. The relation of male to female in Africa is cultural and metaphysical. The concept of womanhood is set as an appendix, hence derived from the concept of manhood, little surprising, how other structures socio-political are patterned that way reflecting the role of man making the world a masculine one. The society is a mystery of man.I think what religion suggests is the putting in place of the structures necessary for realization of human potentialities and development of virtues such as love, justice, peace, prudence justice, etc. Religion did not deny
