Kalbos pasaulėvaizdžiu vadinamas pasaulio suvokimas, t.y. subjektyvi objektyviosios realybės daiktų bei reiškinių samprata. Remiantis ta medžiaga, kurią pateikia kalba, galima rekonstruoti kalboje užfiksuotą pasaulio vaizdą. Kiekviena kalba turi tik jai būdingą pasaulėvaizdį, mąstymo ir kalbos strategijas, todėl šiame darbe yra bandoma plačiau panagrinėti koncepto šviesa raišką lietuvių ir anglų kalbose, atrasti panašumų ir skirtumų šių kalbų pasaulėvaizdyje. Darbo objektu pasirinkti daiktavardis šviesa, veiksmažodis šviesti ir būdvardžiai šviesus, šviesi. Išanalizavus tekstyno medžiagą nustatyta, jog prototipinės šviesos koncepto reikšmės (šviesa – dienos būvis, šviesioji paros dalis; kokio nors natūralaus ar dirbtinio šviesulio skleidžiami ar atspindimi spinduliai, veikiantys akis ir darantys pasaulį matomą; šviečiamasis prietaisas (lempa, žiburys, žibintas, žvakė, elektros lemputė ir pan.) yra panašios abiejose kalbose. Kadangi darbo tikslas buvo išskirti skirtingas ir bendras šviesos metaforines ir simbolines reikšmes, būdingas lietuvių ir anglų kalbos pasaulėvaizdžiui, tekstyno medžiagos analizė parodė, kad lietuvių kalboje koncepto šviesa metaforinės reikšmės gali būti realizuojamos kaip tikslo arba kaip ištakos sfera. Lietuvių kalboje konceptas šviesa dažniausiai realizuojamas kaip DAIKTAS YRA ŠVIESOS ŠALTINIS, VEIDAS YRA ŠVIESOS ŠALTINIS, AKYS YRA ŠVIESOS ŠALTINIS, ŠVIESA YRA VEIKLA, ŠVIESA YRA SKYSTIS, ŠVIESA YRA DAIKTAS, TIESA YRA ŠVIESA, MEILĖ YRA ŠVIESA, MIRTIS...

The present master‘s thesis “ Light in the Lithuanian/English View of the World” focuses on the analysis of theoretical issues of the term concept, its national specifics, principles of light concept analysis in the theoretical part of the work and the empirical part focuses on the investigation of concepts of light in Lithuanian and English languages. The research materials are the Corpus of Lithuanian language – Donelaitis and the corpus of English language - British National Corpus. 1000 Lithuanian sentences and 1000 English sentences from the literature/fiction section were taken having the hypothesis that literature can reflect the pecularites of the languages the best. The data of analysis of the concept light in both languages showed that prototypically light is understood in the same way in Lithuanian and English languages. The attention was payed to some more similarities of the prototypical meaning, like the colour of the light and its positive and negative descriptions. But it also revealed a great number of cases when the term light is used metaphorically. The analysis has revealed the importance of the symbolic meaning of the concept light as well. In Lithuanian language the concept of light is usually realized as the objects of a light source: FACE IS THE SOURCE OF LIGHT, EYES ARE THE SOURCE OF LIGHT, LIGHT IS THE ACTIVITY, LIGHT IS LIQUID, LIGHT IS A THING, THE TRUTH IS LIGHT, LOVE IS LIGHT, THE DEATH IS LIGHT. In English language the concept of light can be... [to full text]

Dans la Logique, Kant expose clairement le rapport entre sa philosophie et l’anthropologie. Si les trois premières questions (à savoir « Que puis-je savoir ? », « Que dois-je faire ? » et « Que m’est-il permis d’espérer ? ») peuvent toutes être ramenées à la question « Qu’est ce que l’homme ? », alors quelle anthropologie qui donne la réponse à cette dernière question ? S’agissant du rapport entre l’anthropologie et la philosophie, il existe beaucoup de débats parmi les commentateurs kantiens. Ils tentent d’éclaircir ce rapport soit selon un point de vue de l’anthropologie philosophique, soit selon un point de vue de l’ontologie fondamentale. Mais en tant qu’oeuvre kantienne unique relative à l’anthropologie, l’Anthropologie du point de vue pragmatique est absente dans ce débat dans lequel on peut dire qu’elle a été négligée. La raison qui cause cette situation réside dans la caractéristique empirique présentée par l’Anthropologie du point de vue pragmatique. Cependant, dans la lettre du 4 mai 1793 à Karl Friedrich Stäudlin, Kant lui-même a mentionné qu’il avait fait un cours pendant plus de 20 ans sur cette question anthropologique de « Qu’est ce que l’homme ? ». D’après cela, il nous semble que l’Anthropologie du point de vue pragmatique, provenant des notes de ce cours, doit être considérée comme une oeuvre kantienne portant sur « Qu’est ce que l’homme ? ». Comment pouvons-nous résoudre cette difficulté existante dans la saisie du rapport entre la philosophie et l’anthropologie chez Kant ? Peut-on la résoudre ? Si la réponse est «oui », quel sera un tel rapport ? En effet, dans l’étude du rapport entre la philosophie et l’anthropologie chez Kant, on néglige souvent le rôle clef joué par le concept cosmopolitique. Les trois premières questions sont ramenées à l’anthropologie dans le domaine de la philosophie en son sens cosmopolitique. Que signifie alors la philosophie en son sens cosmopolitique ? Quel rapport cette philosophie a-t-elle avec la philosophie selon son concept cosmique qui a été considérée comme la recherche de la doctrine de la sagesse (à savoir le souverain bien). Si l’Anthropologie du point de vue pragmatique peut être conçue comme une oeuvre kantienne portant sur la question « Qu’est ce que l’homme ? », comment devons-nous saisir son rapport avec les trois premières questions ?Cette étude cherche à clarifier ce rapport entre la philosophie et l’anthropologie chez Kant et le rôle joué par l’Anthropologie du point de vue pragmatique dans ce rapport selon les « concept cosmique », « concept cosmopolitique » et le « souverain bien ».

Kant articulates the relationship between philosophy and anthropology in his Logic. When the three questions (i.e., What can I know? What should I do? What may I hope for?) are reduced to “ What is Man?”, what answer should anthropology give to the question? Concerning the relationship between anthropology and philosophy, therehas been much debate among Kant’s commentators. They attempt to clarify this relationship either from a point of view of philosophical…

Atlikus lyginamąją ir konceptualiąją analizę, išanalizavus surinktą medžiagą, nustatyta, kad darbo konceptas lyginamose kalbose yra suvokiamas panašiai (darbas (darbštumas) – kaip gerovės šaltinis, darbas – kaip tinginystės priešprieša, tinginystė –kaip darbo parodija, darbas – jungtis tarp žmogaus ir gamtos, darbas – kaip vargas, darbas –kaip žmogaus savybių matmuo, darbas – kaip mokymo įrankis, darbas – šeimyninės sanklodos rodiklis, darbas – gyvenimiškos tiesos saugykla). Dažniausi darbo denotatai lietuvių ir analogiškai rusų kalboje yra darbas (darbštumas) – kaip gerovės šaltinis, darbas – kaip tinginystės priešprieša, tinginystė – kaip darbo parodija, darbas – kaip vargas, darbas – kaip žmogaus savybių matmuo. Darbas (darbštumas) – kaip gerovės šaltinis dažniausiai realizuojamas lietuvių kalboje. Rusų kalboje dažniausiai realizuojamas darbas – kaip tinginystės priešprieša, tinginystė – kaip darbo parodija.

The aim of this master work, „The concept of work in Lithuanian and Russian proverbs and bywords“, is to take a wider glance at the concept of work in Lithuanians and Russians world-view, to find similarities and differences, to recreate the type of world-view which would be common to the language and also to recreate the strategies of thinking. After a comparative and conceptual analysis and after the analysis of collected examples, we made a conclusion that the concept of work is perceived similarly: work (diligence) as the source of wellness, work as the confrontation with laziness, laziness as the parody of diligence, work as the connection between human and nature, work as misery, work as the measurement of humanity, work as the proper way to educate, work as the measurement of family values and work as the storage of all the values. The most frequent and common for both Lithuanian and Russian languages meanings of the concept work are these: work as the source of wellness, work as the confrontation with laziness, laziness as the parody of diligence, work as misery and work as the measurement of humanity. The most common meaning to Lithuania language is work as the source of wellness and the most common meaning of work to Russian language is work as the confrontation with laziness and laziness as the parody of diligence. Lithuanian and Russian proverbs and bywords can be expressed in various ways: there are a lot of examples which have negative meaning. People use many... [to full text]

▼ This thesis is born out of an observation in some recent scholarly research that tends to polarize early church fathers, particularly Jerome and Augustine in their attitude towards the expression of grief by bereaved Christians. Augustine is said to allow a moderation of grief while Jerome condemns it outright. Adopting a literary analytical method, this thesis sets out to find the disposition of saints Jerome and Augustine towards the expression of grief in their consolation letters. The study finds out that there are more similarities in Jerome’s and Augustine’s approaches to grief than differences. Neither of these men maintained a singular stand on the expression of grief but adjusted their position depending on various circumstances. Their ideal recommendation was that Christians ought not to weep at all for deceased Christians but instead to rejoice and congratulate them for having left a world of sin to be with Christ. But when circumstances made the emotion of grief too powerful to bear, the church fathers excused grief and instead called for moderation. Having been bereaved themselves, at one point or the other, the church fathers were not unaware of the power of this emotion. When grief was excused, they explained that the grief was not for the departed person but for the virtues lost due to the death and for the living because they are allowed to continue in the world of turmoil and away from paradise. Grief also became legitimate if the deceased person died in sin because then, he would descend to hell. In their consolation letters the church fathers adapted traditional lines of arguments that were current in the Greco-Roman consolations to correspond with the teachings of the Bible in order to offer consolation to bereaved Christians. This hybrid produced a kind of consolation that some scholars have referred to as ‘theological consolation’. Unlike the philosophical consolation of the pagans, Christian consolation was hinged on the assurance of resurrection at the second coming of Christ. But as the second coming of Christ became less and less imminent than it was first thought the church fathers began to offer consolation based on an assurance that the deceased believer is already in heaven. The thesis begins with a survey of the ancient practice of consolation, a practice that was first documented and transmitted by the Greeks but adopted and preserved by Romans and then Greek and Latin church fathers. There was also an attempt to define consolation as a literary genre, an effort that many scholars find problematic due to the vastness of literature with consolatory content and the variety in degree of consolation in each. The solution to this problem was to view consolation as a theme present in various genres rather than a genre of its own. On this basis, my sources were delimited to include only patristic epistolary consolation.

▼ This study looks at the way in which the good works inspired by religious motives are related to the secular understanding of development. The aim is to better understand how development workers with religious worldview define the concept of development and how their faith influences their thinking. Faith is understood as the source of values based on which the ideas of development are shaped. The task is approached by interviewing the Finnish staff members of a Pentecostal development organization, Fida International. Their staff members’ understanding of development is studied. Development as a religious concept is formulated based on the interviews. The background chapters give the context of the study by introducing the debate and connections between the concepts of religion and development. Also an introduction of the capability approach developed by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum is provided since in this study it represents the secular understanding of development. The key concepts of the approach: functionings, agency and development are used to analyze how religious values influence the understanding of development. Chapter four introduces the research material, the methods and the process of analysis. The data consist of 16 interviews carried out in East Africa by the author in the spring of 2016. In chapter five the results of the analysis are presented. The valued functionings that emerge from faith were: fulfilling God’s call, living out one’s faith, deliverance and trusting God, spiritual growth, freedom from guilt through God’s forgiveness and mercy, and achieving balance and harmony. The results are brought together to formulate a definition of development as religious concept. Chapter six reflects on the results in relation to the literature focusing on the religious perception of development. The elements that faith brings to the secular understanding of development are intertwined around the holistic approach in which the economic, political, social and spiritual dimensions of development cannot be viewed separately. Therefore, the relationship between God and the human becomes central. The human finds his ultimate purpose and thus the aim of development within God in his Kingdom. Therefore, faith widens the time perspective of development from this life into eternity. According to the interviewees of the study God has called the human to love him by loving his neighbors. Solidarity, equality and just world become the aim of development within the time frame of this life. To reach there, to have Shalom in this life already, was seen as too idealistic. Therefore, the aim of the man-made development process within this time frame emerges with the ultimate aim of development, the life in God’s Kingdom in the eternity.

▼ The aim of this thesis is to examine changes in the status of traditional Egyptian religious culture during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, from 331 BCE to 313 CE. Four distinct categories of material culture are examined: monumental construction of temples and civic buildings, traditional hard-stone sculpture, Alexandrian tombs, and Roman coins. These bodies of evidence were chosen because each offers a unique perspective, reflecting respectively the personal inclinations and official attitudes of both the culturally Hellenic and indigenous elites, which have not previously been studied in this context. Examined together for the first time, these categories reveal commonalities that show clearly the progression of the status of indigenous religious culture. From this, it is argued that, despite being economically disadvantaged by the Roman administration, the high status of this culture persisted in Egyptian society under both the Ptolemies and the Romans. Patterns of Egyptian temple and classical civic building show that Egypt's indigenous elite controlled the resources allocated for temple construction under the Ptolemies, but that the Romans gradually transferred this land into the management of the culturally Hellenic elite. This resulted in a decrease in Egyptian temple building after the first century CE and a corresponding increase in classical construction from then on. The production of hard-stone statues is shown for the first time to reveal that the indigenous elite had the resources and cultural confidence to continue and develop their traditions under the Ptolemies, while the sharp decrease at the start of the Roman period reflects their diminution in autonomy and prosperity under Roman rule. New analysis of traditional elements and motifs in the tombs of Alexandrian elites shows that this group respected and adopted indigenous religious customs and beliefs, with a higher incidence of indigenous imagery in the Roman period compared with the Ptolemaic period. In a similar way, well-informed Egyptian religious iconography rendered in a classical style on Alexandrian coins demonstrates the respect of the Roman authorities for Egyptian religious cults and institutions at an official level. In sum, it is argued that indigenous religious culture largely maintained its privileged economic and social status throughout the Ptolemaic period, despite political upheavals. Under Roman rule, the individuals and institutions representing Egyptian religious culture were disadvantaged economically; however, its social importance and standing were preserved and it continued to enjoy respect.

▼ This thesis examines usurpation in the Seleukid empire between the third and second centuries BCE. Since the title ‘usurper’ was attributed by ancient authors to defeated opponents of the Seleukid king, this study is essentially a study of constructed historical narratives. If usurpers are placed in their historical context, however, the histories of their claims to the diadem can be reconstructed. By analysing the literary and documentary evidence, chapters 2 and 3 assess the interaction between kings, usurpers and the groups within the kingdom (such as cities, dynasts and the army). More precisely, an investigation of usurpers’ strategies and the royal images they employed in their interactions with the groups within the kingdom is undertaken, and, wherever possible, the groups’ perception of and reaction to usurpers is examined. By focussing on usurpation, conclusions regarding the possibilities and limits of monarchic rule in the Seleukid kingdom, the kingship of the Seleukid rulers and the structure of the Seleukid empire can be drawn. This study argues that the Seleukid kings were in constant competition with other internal power holders, illustrating the precarious position of the Seleukid kings to sustain the monopoly of power in the empire. The dynamics between the Seleukid king and different power holders within the kingdom are demonstrated in chapter 4 in two case-studies on the Attalids of Pergamon and the Baktrian kings. Chapter 5 reviews the possibilities of usurping the diadem as well as Seleukid reaction to usurpers.

▼ World Vision International (WVI) is a Faith-Based Organization (FBO). Evangelical Christian humanitarian Aid, development and advocacy Organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. It was established in 1950 to care for the orphans in Asia, World Vision International has grown to embrace the larger issues of community development and advocacy for the poor in its mission to help children and their families build sustainable future. It is founded on the principles and teachings of Christianity as propagated by the community of the edifice Jesus Christ. This study is a critical assessment of the gaps between the giver World Vision Kenya (WVK) and the receiver (the Riruta community). The World Vision of Kenya has been in Riruta Integrated Program Area (RIPA) for the last two decades. The main goal of this study was to establish whether they had achieved their intended objectives, that is to transform the lives of the poor and oppressed through Economic Transformational Development that is sustainable and community based, focused on the needs of children, to express God‟s love and care among all people for holistic ministry. The study objectives of the study were; to assess the role played by World Vision Kenya in Riruta Integrated Program Area based/focused on the needs of the child, to investigate the impact of World Vision Kenya on Riruta Integrated Program Area community, to evaluate the achievements of the World Vision Kenya in Riruta Integrated Program Area and to find out the World Vision Kenya working relationship and strategies with the existing partners/stakeholders, to explore the challenges experienced by the World Vision Kenya in their contribution to spiritual concept of Transformational Development. The study adopted a qualitative research design. Secondary data was derived from existing literature, and reports on Riruta IPA community Based Organizations (CBOs), WVK‟s workers, GoK officers in the ministry of Education, children department, church leaders, school pupils, contact teachers, sub-area program coordinators and the Sud-County administrators. The study covered the RIPA (Riruta, Uthiru, Waithaka). From the findings, the study revealed that the world Vision Kenya (WVK) in Riruta Integrated Program Area (RIPA) did not fully meet the needs of the child as evidenced in the study. The study established that; empowerment on the economic activities through engagement of the community in WVK-RIPA has impacted on transformational development; through training in entrepreneurial skills benefiting many families. It was established that, World Vision Kenya has a good working relationship with other existing partners/stakeholders; and it plays a complementary role in achieving their goal. The study found that parents were able to manage illnesses through good diet, warm clothes and Immunization programmes. In order to be more effective and efficient in addressing the economic empowerment for transformational development, World Vision Kenya should…

▼ This research investigation into the spirituality of pilgrims arises from the intense mobility that characterizes contemporary society and from the new emphasis that is now being placed on pilgrimage. In the face of these trends the Holy See's Pontifical Council for Migrants and Itinerant People has called for appropriate pastoral responses based on "a clear theological foundation and praxis" whereby pilgrimage can be "transformed into an experience of deep and mature faith." The specific contribution that this thesis makes to developing the many-layered pastoral response to contemporary pilgrimage for which the Pontifical Council calls, has been to document, codify and analyse the particular stories of mobility recounted by a sample of twenty-three Australian Catholic pilgrims who had walked the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. All twenty-three had been interviewed after completing the Camino pilgrimage, while three of these had also been interviewed before commencing, and again in real-time while walking the Camino itself. The objective of this research, therefore, was to discover what is expressed "first hand", as it were, through the pilgrims' experiences and responses, and to bring this to expression. An iterative engagement with the literature of pilgrimage was central to this task, as was locating the discussion within a broader range of theological, psychological and cultural reference. The first outcome was the development of a foundational framework showing the constitutive elements of the human person in her/his journey through life. This framework, which corresponds to the Church's insight that "pilgrimages symbolise the experience of the homo viator who sets out, as soon as he leaves the maternal womb, on his journey through the time and space of his existence," provides an overarching structure within which this research into the spirituality of Australian pilgrims on the Camino could be conducted. A comprehensive mapping exercise was then undertaken, focussing on the pilgrims' actual experiences of the Camino. Language was selected and codified, leading to the presentation of a second framework, a provisional taxonomy of pilgrimage, by which the pilgrims' experience could be assessed, and then employed to formulate pastoral solutions for the future. Finally, concepts drawn from structural, evolutionary psychological theories generated new insights into how the pilgrims changed - during and after the Camino. This led to the construction of a third framework which, taking the form of a staged, holistic, re-generative model, can also serve in the development of a suitable pastoral response, helping people to embrace the opportunities that pilgrimage offers to break out of their "embeddedness" in constraining patterns and to move into new ways of living.

Nаука о књижевности - усмена књижевност / The literary science - The oral literature

Првобитни циљ овог истраживања био је показати да епско време не мора функционисати као искључиво као „затворено“, нити заузимати „острвски положај“ у односу на друге епохе, како се то обично сматрало, при неоправданој аналогији српске епике и руских биљина. Основна метода овог истраживања је семиотичка, а када се истраживање укрштало с научним, лингвистичким, књижевнонаучним, антрополошким, и другим сазнањима (различитим методолошким полазиштима), неминовно је попримало интердосциплинарни карактер и водило је ка методолошком плурализму. Предмет истраживања био је размотрити како се време у песми (наративно време) конституише у поређењу с реално постојећим (историјским, тј. објективним) временом, као и то како оно функционише на равни биографског времена лика, одређеног пре свега социокултурним реалијама друштва у коме варијанта егзистира, везаним за различите узрасне идентитете. Почетна тачка од које се даље самерава биолошко и социјално време је рођење јунака, које је, по правилу, несвакидашње, као, уосталом, и његово порекло. Детињство траје сразмерно кратко, а превазилажење лиминалног статуса детета остварује се првим подвигом, односно јуначком женидбом, чиме се јунаку адолесценту обезбеђује нови статус – младог ратника. Када једном освоји статус ратника, главни јунак остатак живота проводи у његовом сталном потврђивању и доказивању, из једног подвига у други. Зрело доба, стога, функционише као немаркирани (уобичајени) узрасни идентитет јунака. Предавањем јуначких атрибута (коња и оружја) сину, јунак се одриче свог статуса и прелази у категорију старих лица. Излазак из ратничког статуса остварује се на два начина – променом делокруга – уласком у делокруг саветника (мудраца), или одласком у смрт, при чему ће необичном јунаку, саобразно сижеима песама о смрти јунака, одговарати „необична“ смрт. Ограничена рођењем и смрћу, биографија епског јунака, у конкретном сижеу, актуализоваће један од (обично најважнијих) тренутака из живота лика (први сукоб, женидбу и сл), плетући око ове тачке временску арматуру песме...

▼ Poetry in the twenty-first century is often associated with a love of the world, involving an admiration for nature and an affection for all of humankind. This is in some respects a recent conception. In Christian scripture, the “love of the world” refers to a state of fatal distraction from God, and Christian theologians have often written discourses against “love of the world,” as an umbrella term for the sinful temptations of secular life. However, in a treatise from the early 1660s, the English poet and theologian Thomas Traherne calls himself “a Lover of the world.” Inspired by the innovative poetry and theology that emerged in Britain during the English Civil War (1642-1651), and its aftermath, Traherne attempted to bring about a revaluation of the love of the world. This dissertation describes how that poetic revaluation happened in response to the fraught religious politics of seventeenth-century England and Wales. It examines the work of three poets who lived through the English Civil War, and the two decades that followed: Henry Vaughan, Katherine Philips and Thomas Traherne. Chapters devoted to each of these poets, ranging widely across their work and their sources, describe how their experiences of political disaffection led them to write poems that were positive, devotional, and ecstatic, expressing a love of the world. Finally, an epilogue discusses Milton’s epic poems in relation to northern European landscape painting, and the use of landscape in poetry as a medium for thinking about the love of the world. The dissertation situates these poets in the long traditions of British and continental poetry, explaining why they chose lyric poetry as a medium for their thinking about the world. It describes poetry’s contribution to a long philosophical debate, from St. Augustine to Hannah Arendt, about whether and how the world is to be loved. It describes their poems as passionate, erudite, polemical and self-questioning responses to political disruptions, theological controversies, new scientific hypotheses, and ancient and early modern philosophy. In doing so, it seeks to show how poets elaborated the love of the world as an innovative, even scandalous, form of life.

▼ This study focuses on the character of Eve in four Early Christian texts from the Nag Hammadi Codices, the Apocryphon of John, the Nature of the Rulers, On the Origin of the World and the Testimony of Truth. The study has two aims. First to study what traditions about Eve these texts use and how they use the traditons? Second, what purposes the use of these traditions serve? The study proceeds in a thematic way focusing on Eve’s creation, Eve’s rape, Eve’s children and the relationship between Eve and the serpent. Not all themes are present in every text. All texts are studied separately focusing on traditions behind the texts and reason for presenting Eve in a certain way. After this the images of Eve in every text are compared with each other. The creation of Eve separates the two characters of Eve, Heavenly and Earthly one. This dichotomy passes through the texts classified as Genesis interpretations and is used as a hermeneutical tool for studying Eve. Heavenly Eve escapes from the rape attempt of the evil creator god, who is identified as the god of the Old Testament. Her escape produces Earthly Eve, material woman. The rape attempt of the creator god underlines the hostility and licentiousness of the Old Testament god. Eve’s children derive from the rape of Earthly Eve and from Adam’s knowing his divine counterpart, whose name differs from the texts but it can be linked to the character of Heavenly Eve. Eve’s children stand for the division between different human classes. Eve's rape underlines the hostility of the Old Testament god and explains the origin of the human need for the procreation. The serpent is either a teacher of sexual lust or when interpreted positively, is connected to Heavenly Eve or Christ and the correct instruction and enlightenment of the humans. The texts use Early Jewish, Christian and rabbinical material dealing with the events of Genesis. They rework these traditions in order to present the character of the creator god negatively and to promote ascetic lifestyle. Through Earthly Eve the negativity of the creator god and origin of the passions in human life are demonstrated. Heavenly Eve stands for virginity, spirituality and renunciation of the bodily needs thus serving as a support for the ascetic lifestyle and the social conventions of the readers of texts.

▼ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been identified and adopted by large businesses as a business strategy to enhance company performance. It is globally used to link business and society through sustainable development and good governance. Studies show that CSR in large firms, specifically in developing countries or emerging economies are under researched and is still associated with large firms from developed countries. Companies in emerging economies play a pivotal role in the economic development of their countries. The main objective of this study, is to ascertain how a manufacturing organisation is promoting sustainable community development by engaging CSR initiatives in an emerging country, like Zimbabwe. In particular, the study explores the perceptions large businesses have towards CSR, the drivers of CSR activities in the large firms and what they are engaging in to make a lasting impression in the communities where they are located. Furthermore, the study seeks to explore the benefits and challenges of implementing CSR initiatives and the strategies employed by the organizations to overcome some of the challenges they encounter, and to promote community development through these programs. A non-systematic literature review approach was conducted where insights were drawn from a wide range of secondary sources such as peer reviewed journal articles and non-peer reviewed publications on the topic. Qualitative research methods were used to collect primary data. An exploratory case study approach was adopted as a qualitative method technique to understand the benefits that are brought about by implementing CSR related strategies internally and externally by the organisation. Fourteen (n=14) managers were invited to participate in the study. Convenience sampling technique was used to select participants for the study. Content analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. The empirical findings reveal that the large business in the case acknowledged CSR as a business concept. The results indicated that their CSR activities are mainly hampered by the prevailing volatile economic environment, which is further strained by having a specific department or allocated manager to deal with CSR as a business strategy, minimal access to information and a shortage of manpower. Finally, the results revealed that the large business preferred to raise money through various internal and external programs and engage in partnerships with other large businesses as a solution to implement CSR initiatives in the surrounding communities. The government needs to introduce a regulatory framework in a policy that encourages large businesses to engage in CSR initiatives especially, considering the harsh economic environment. This approach will redefine the voluntary nature of CSR and mitigate some of the daily challenges that communities encounter in their pursuit for sustainable development.

▼ The broad aim of this thesis is to develop a holistic conception of the self in relation to the complex interplay between education for ethical literacy and the notion of an agent as an ontological reality capable of self-transformation and self-realisation. To this end, ethical literacy, as a function of a holistic education, is conceived as enabling individuals to realise their essential nature through leading morally decent lives. The purpose of enquiry into the concept of the self is to highlight that since the self- transformative aims of ethical literacy are exercised on the self by the self, revitalising the focus on the agent’s ethical development therefore depends on grasping the true nature of the person who will live or aspire to live an ethical life. The notion of ethical literacy, as a moral empowerment that enables individuals to understand, analyse, reflect and practice that which makes them humane, postulates a holistic understanding of what it means to be human, which in turn implies that it is in understanding who human agents truly are, how they are to better themselves and what they can become, that the question of ethical literacy acquires a more concrete meaning. This thesis is divided into four parts, with part one providing a brief analysis of the moral landscape existing within the global community and highlights the need for effecting an equitable and compassionate moral horizon through education for ethical literacy. Part two, engages with the conceptual understanding of three influential ‘self‘ paradigms, namely, those of Descartes, Hume and Freud, which in tracing a line of these significant ‘self’ paradigms within the Western evolution of the concept of the self, places contemporary views on this subject in a historical context and informs how the conceptual consequences of these have formed, affected and influenced the postmodern humanist understanding of the self experienced today. To this end, in the search for a model of the self that may have the potential to close the epistemic gap existing between the differing concepts of the self, part three investigates the model postulated by the contemporary Eastern philosopher, Nour Ali Elahi, which in considering the self as an ontological reality, puts a special emphasis on the bi-dimensionality of human beings. Finally, in part four, the thesis is concluded by drawing on the analysis of the aforementioned influential self-paradigms, whose concepts of the disengaged individualistic self, the sense-content illusory self and the drive-driven fragmented self, have contributed to the prevalent ambiguity of the notion of the self in terms of relationality, in terms of continuity in time, and in terms of depth. By contrast, Ostad Elahi’s holistic model of the self, as an integrated theory of the self constitutive of its psychological, ontological and metaphysical dimensions, is offered as providing an alternative underpinning for a form of education for ethical literacy that is conducive to the enhancement of one’s sense of dignity.

▼ This thesis is a reading of the Book of Revelation where the text’s relationship to both the Roman Empire and empires in general is evaluated. As it becomes clear that the author views the Roman Empire of his time in negative terms, two categories are used in evaluating the nature of his critique. When he opposes the Roman empire with patterns and rhetoric that are similar to the pattern of empires, his views are classified as alter-empire. When empire is resisted with something profoundly different, the term anti-empire is applied. In order to make such a categorization possible, this thesis begins by establishing central terminology and ultimately the definition of empire as a concept. Here, the guidelines are provided by the central postcolonial theorists and those biblical scholars who have applied postcolonial approaches in their works. Empire is not defined as a monolith that is but more in the terms of what it does. This concept is then used in evaluating the Roman imperial discourse, the “official” way of understanding the world and human agency in it in the time when the Book of Revelation was written. The comparison reveals how the Roman imperial discourse fits the pattern of empire and provides context for the discourse presented in Revelation. This discourse emphasizes the binary opposition of adherence to God and accommodation to the Roman discourse. What is happening on earth is a mirror image of the celestial battle between God and his adversaries. Thus all forms of compromise with the surrounding normalcy are branded as idolatrous and condemnable. His audience is encouraged to “patiently endure” and “not to be deceived” into participation in Rome’s discourse. The seemingly unlimited power of Rome will soon be revealed as pretention, when God decides to end the time he has “allowed” for Rome and his other enemies before everyone will be judged and a new order established. This judgment reveals the author’s disregard for titles, family connections and earthly might. All human beings are called to personal adherence to God, and this witness is the only condition on which an individual’s fate is decided. John is also adamant in denying violence as an acceptable agency for human beings, even if it has a major role as God’s tool in the establishment of his kingdom. These are the major anti-empire-aspects in the Book of Revelation. For the most part, the work aligns itself more along the pattern of alter-empire. Victory over enemies establishes God’s hegemony. God’s superior might and violence grants him the right to rule. The presently marginalized “saints” will share this rule, and their opponents will be destroyed. This seemingly clear-cut binarism is ultimately undermined by ambivalence, when even the final chapters seem to contain hints of blurred boundaries. Such a failure in dualistic discourses is also a typical feature of an empire.

▼ In my thesis I examined a pseudepigraphal gospel called the Gospel of Barnabas (GOB). This so called gospel has been an important part of the Muslim polemics against Christianity since the beginning of the 20th century. Many Muslim scholars claim that it is the only true Gospel written by Jesus’ close disciple and apostle Barnabas. However, the majority of the Western scholars claim that it is really a medieval Islamic writing. My approach to the study of the GOB was quite theoretical; I used two different theories through which I tried to get new information on the GOB. The first theory is the counter-history theory developed by Amos Funkenstein and David Biale. Through this theory I examined the GOB itself and tried to analyse if it can be seen as a counter-history. With this theory I answered to the research question “what kind of text is the GOB?” The other theory is the power relations theory by James C. Scott. Through this theory I examined the historical situation of Moriscos in Spain and tried to see if it is reasonable to locate the origins of the GOB there. With power relations theory my aim was to answer to the research question “where and why was the GOB written?” Through the counter-history theory I found out that the author of the GOB has used mainly Christian sources to produce a different depiction of Jesus’ life. With the thematic analysis I discovered that the GOB redacts many important Christian dogmas with Islamic ideas and so produces an Islamic counter-history of the narratives of the canonical gospels. Hence, as an answer to the research question of what kind of text the GOB is, I would say that the GOB is an (polemical?) Islamic counter-history of the Christian idea of Jesus. Through the power relations theory I found out that the power relations between dominant Christians and subordinate Moriscos was a very fruitful context for a writing such as the GOB to emerge. The GOB can be seen as a disguised intellectual resistance, where the message and the messenger are hidden. It was probably written to influence the Christian majority. To the research question of where and why the GOB was written, I answer that it was probably written in Morisco Spain as an intellectual resistance.

▼ The sacrificing of Isaac, described in Genesis 22, is one of the most troubling stories in Bible. In that story, Abraham was faced with a moral dilemma and compelled to choose between two bad options: to disobey God or to kill his son. Why was Abraham willing to commit the most horrendous thing one can imagine: killing his own child? Did God really ask Abraham for such a sacrifice, and if yes, did he really expect Abraham to obey? Several attempts to explain Abraham’s behavior as well as God’s command have been made. Most often, Abraham is portrayed as a model of faith. God, on the other hand, is usually seen as ”only testing” Abraham, but not really expecting a sacrifice. Many scholars are questioning these interpretations, though. To some of them, Abraham is no more than a criminal, and God a moral monster. In this study, I am taking an analytical approach to existing literature and commentaries on the sacrificing of Isaac. I am describing, classifying and comparing different attempts to resolve the obvious conflict between divine obedience and morality. Since the command to sacrifice Isaac is often regarded as a divine test, I will also examine, what exactly might have been the focus of that test: faith, obedience, fear or something else? I am also referring to some contemporary crime cases to show that sacrificing a child in God’s name doesn’t belong only to history. Thus, contrary to some Bible commentators who claim that nothing similar could happen today, I will show that some people have used the story of Abraham and Isaac as a justification for their pernicious action. Finally, and as the title of my thesis implies, I will propose a ”kaleidoscopic” approach to the story of sacrificing Isaac. Just like an image in a kaleidoscope is prone to change with each new treatment, so is the interpretation of the story. Even more, the story in Genesis 22 is like a Rorschach test: it allows for the viewer to see what she wants to see, and to project her preconceptions of Abraham and God to the troublesome image.

▼ The details of the mission of Manichaeism—a religion that rose out of a Jewish-Christian milieu in Roman Babylonia in the 3rd century CE—emerge from both polemical sources and genuine Manichaean sources, the latter of which have been greatly expanded in the past century with a number of discoveries. This thesis presents a comparative study that critically evaluates the sources for and identifies the practices of the Manichaean mission in the Roman West between the 3rd century CE, when the religion was founded, and the 6th century CE, when the religion was persecuted off the face of the Western Roman Empire. By comparing the corpus of Augustine (who was himself a Manichaean for 9 years) and Manichaean sources, the thesis identifies a total of eight Manichaean practices that can be tied to the Roman West: (1) the undertaking of polemical treatises and doctrinal debates; (2) the command of a broad range of languages; (3) exegesis of the New Testament to unearth Manichaean beliefs; (4) the comparison of Old and New Testament passages (= disputations) to demonstrate the falseness of the Old Testament, which no true Christian should believe in; (5) missions in the guise of merchant trade; (6) the appeal to similarities with the disciples of Jesus; (7) sensationalist appeals to the appearances of poverty and association with women; and (8) the donation of children by lay Manichaeans to become missionaries. Among those identified here, practices (6)–(8) seem to be unique contributions to the field; chapter 3 furthermore reconstructs the theological underpinning of practice (8). Previous scholarship has not focused specifically on a critical examination of the Manichaean mission. In using a comparative method, this thesis compares attestation of Manichaean missionary practices internally (i.e., within, for instance, Augustine’s corpus to see if he is consistent in his attestation of the same practice) and externally (i.e., to see if polemical reports match up with genuine Manichaean reports). When making external comparisons, if attestation is found in Augustine but not in Manichaean sources, it is surmised that the practice is likely a heresiological invention; if in Manichaean but not in Augustinian sources, then perhaps a missionary practice that was not used or else simply not attested in the Roman West. The standard is generally, at any rate, to seek attestation in both sources and thus to verify that the practice was indeed used and witnessed in the Roman West. Finally, the appendices present the first English translation of a recently discovered sermon by Augustine (Serm. 350F) and two tables compiling Manichaean disputations.

▼ The purpose of this thesis is to compare the characters of David and Judith and particularly the notions of the ideal masculinities. The purpose is also to ask if the findings also reflect the general understanding of the Old Testament masculinities. The primary sources are the book of Judith, in particular the chapters 8-16 where Judith herself is acting and the 1. Samuel 16-18 where David is introduced for the first time. The main research questions are:1) What kind of similarities and differences can be found from these texts how they present gender and a relation to the ideal masculinities? 2) More importantly, how do these characters have been chosen to the role of hero(ine) when they do not resonate primarily with the ideal masculinity? The main reason why these two characters are chosen is their similar narrative elements and more importantly, the both characters represent the subordinate masculinities. The characters have to find alternative strategies in order to act unconventionally and to challenge the hegemonic power. Focusing on masculine and feminine qualities of the chosen characters, the presumption is that the construction of gender is embedded in the symbolical level of different cultures and can be analysed. The focus is on both female and male character, in particularly characters that do not fulfil the ideal hegemonic characteristics. The assumption is that this starting point will give a different view than if the focus was only on female characters or solely male characters. The main masculine ideals that are brought out from the source texts are beauty, persuasiveness and wisdom, prowess and courage in the battlefield and the divine masculinity. The conclusion shows that masculinity in the Old Testament is more complex than the masculinity theory normally suggests. The distinction between the hegemony and the subordinate masculinities varies a lot and the representatives in lower positions find their way to act against the unconventional roles. It is possible because the ultimate power is the divine power. God is unchanging representation of the hegemony who has power over human beings.

▼ Religion is increasingly a part of public discussion. This study investigated the theme in the context of the Finnish armed forces, by researching the attitudes towards religion of a young group of officers. The objective was to uncover if they opined that they would professionally benefit from added knowledge on the on religions and cultures. The study was conducted by first analyzing a variety of religious texts from the Bible and the Qur’an, using the method of reception. After this, analysis of a course designed to improve the officers’ action competence was conducted, by researching its content as it applied to religious material. Finally, a reception exercise was conducted with the students, who also answered additional questions on their values and their opinions on necessary education on the matter. Material from a US document was also analyzed in increase context. The results were that almost all of students did find religious and cultural education useful in their profession. Religion was not personally important to them, and while most exhibited an unattached attitude towards the texts, some were in part even hostile towards them. In their opinion religion should have no part in any decision making which involved the running of a state, but Christianity had value as part of the Finnish cultural heritage and value system. The core values explicated by the students were love of home and family, love of country, wanting to belong to a community, uprightness, honesty, justice and appreciation of professionalism. Ethical considerations were discussed greatly and contradictory expectations of them weight on many of them, i.e. the expectations for officers to be both gentlemen (and women) and killers. They were also worried of having to take a life, showing no trigger-happy attitude, as far as the author observed. As a further study it is suggested that similar experiences from soldiers on international missions and from other governmental agencies are collected, in order to create a system of education in this area.

▼ This study focuses on comparison of demonologies in the texts Apocryphon of John, The Life of Antony and Asclepius. The study has two aims. Firstly, to bring together demonologies of the texts that were normally investigated separately and contrast them. Secondly, to analyse the result of the comparison and speculate about possible social setting that could have generate them. The latest is conducted with the help of Grid and Group Theory by Mary Douglas, which is used as a heuristic tool. What can be suggested about the social setting of the text that produced such a demonology? The study proceeds by juxtaposing demonologies with each other and by examining specific “traits” of texts’ demonologies: hierarchy, ranking, classification and etiology. All the collected data in the process of comparison is, simultaneously, analysed and evaluated from the perspective of Grid And Group Theory. Thus, distinctive features of every demonology are also juxtaposed with typical features of demonologies typical for four social setting (strong group/strong grid, strong group/weak grid, weak group/ strong grid, weak group/ weak grid), invented by Mary Douglas. After that, I move on to investigation the demonologies from the perspective of motivation (rationale) of Evil in them and their role in the bodily interference. According to Group and Grid theory, social structure of the community also somehow reflects not only the hierarchical side of cosmology, but also qualitative one. Thus, the texts are categorized in accordance with how justified Evil is in them and the importance of purity and impurity in cosmology. The last analysis chapter is concerned with comparing ways of demons attack and ways of possible defense against it. The examination shows how authoritative and dangerous the malevolent creatures are in each text. The results of the analyses confirm that all the three texts have different demonologies and, according to Grid and Group Theory, may be ascribed to different social settings. In case of The Life of Antony it is “strong group/ strong grid”, while Apocryphon of John fits well in “strong group/weak grid”. As for Asclepis, it bears the features of 3 social settings: strong group/strong grid, strong group/weak grid, weak group/ strong grid, weak group.
