  • Democracy Vs Totalitarianism in the Political Philosophy
    Culture and History; Vol. 1, No. 2; 2021 https://doi.org/10.30560/ch.v1n2p1 Democracy Vs Totalitarianism in the Political Philosophy Alexandru Arseni1 & Veronica Pozneacova1 1 Faculty of Law, Moldova State University, Chisinau, Republic of Moldova Correspondence: Veronica Pozneacova, Faculty of Law, Moldova State University, Chisinau, Republic of Moldova. Tel: 373-6764-8753. E-mail: [email protected] Received: May 28, 2021; Accepted: July 9, 2021; Published: July 17, 2021 Nothing then is unchangeable but the inherent and inalienable rights of man. Thomas Jefferson Sad is the fate of the state in which the ruler would want to reign according to the prescriptions of Machiavelli Frederick the Great, King of Prussia (1712-1786) Abstract The entire political philosophy of humanity is focused on the antagonism between two political regimes, two basic ideas that explain, argue and legitimize the state power’s system, namely, the totalitarian and the democratic political regime. Since Antiquity, the brilliant minds of humanity contemplated about the sense of state power and the political regime of the state. Each epoch analyses this concept from different aspects and some of them are reflected in the actual political regime. We would pay attention to the conversation through the ages between the philosophers of Antiquity, Meddle Age, Modernity and Contemporaneity about the most important ideas of the totalitarian and the democratic political regimes. This article is a study dedicated to determining the specific of these political regimes in the background of the idea’s history. In this context, we have outlined the following objectives: to identify the specific aspects of totalitarianism in the Antiquity, Meddle Age and Contemporaneity, to analyze the concept of democratic political regime developed in the Modernity as philosophical support of The Great French Revolution; to examine the positive and the negative aspects of this doctrines; to determine the causes of the triumph of totalitarianism in the XXth century.

  • Democracy for the Twenty-First Century
    DEMOCRACY FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: FROM DOMINATION TO CO-CREATION Authors: Anatoliy Tolstoukhov is the President of Center for Practical Philosophy (Kiev, UA) and he holds a D.Sc. degree in Philosophy (2004) and a Ph.D. in Philosophy (1999) from the Taras Shevchenko National University. His field of interest is practical philosophy, particularly, the philosophy of ecology, politics, and science. He has also served several terms as a member of Ukraine‟s Parliament and Cabinet of Ministers. Iurii Mielkov is „Projects Coordinator‟ of the Center for Practical Philosophy and holds a Ph.D. in philosophy (2003) from the Taras Shevchenko National University. Iurii‟s research is focused on the philosophical problems of contemporary science and the philosophy of nature and democracy. Both authors are members of the Ukrainian Branch of the World Philosophical Forum. Introduction Democracy is now one of the most common terms used in public rhetoric; however, it seldom serves as an object of philosophical reflection. Indeed, democracy could sometimes appear as a „worn out‟, devaluated notion, deprived of any clear sense. In post-communist countries, the use of the term „democracy‟ equals the usage of the word „communism‟ several decades ago. The term is widely used in official discourse, but no one takes it seriously. The fact that many of today‟s born „democrats‟ in the Ukraine and other ex-Soviet countries are former communists only strengthens the idea that „democracy‟ could be perceived as a keyword denoting the belonging of its conveyor to the self-proclaimed „power party‟. As Ukrainian sociologist Iryna Popova explains: Parading the „democracy‟ of our society, constant usage of the term „democracy‟ in the situation of lawlessness and actual violation of people‟s rights, considerable spreading of poorness and poverty is a 204 blasphemy, because it leads to devaluation of that word, to the commonplace perception of democracy as a situation where „everything goes‟, and „a plain man‟ has no protection against that.

  • Judicial Supremacy and Institutional Dialogues in the Brazilian Constitutional Order 53
    Judicial supremacy and institutional dialogues in the JUN / 2020 - brazilian constitutional order Jadson Correia de Oliveira1 Raíssa Fernanda Cardoso Toledo2 Natanael Lima Santos3 Abstract The purpose of this article is to present, criticize and synthesize VOLUME II | NÚMERO 1 | JAN | 1 | NÚMERO II VOLUME the nuances of judicial supremacy theories and institutional dialogues regarding the interpretation of national constitutions, as well as to problematize its framework and foundations in the Brazilian constitutional order, especially in the Constitution of 1988, which celebrates its 30th (thirtieth) anniversary on October 5th (fifth) this year. Furthermore, this article sought to answer the RECEBIDO EM: 18/06 following inquiry: Which model represents the greatest guarantee ACEITO EM: 30/06 and the materialization of the most sovereign yearnings of Brazilian citizenship, expressed in the Constitution of 1988? The chosen methodology was the detailed bibliographic research and exegetical and dialectical analysis of several constitutional, legal and jurisprudential provisions, however, all related to the main topic, addressing the themes, sometimes at the most abstract level and in the international doctrine, sometimes applying and thinking about the concepts exposed to the Brazilian reality. In this endeavor, the objective is to demonstrate how the judicial supremacy system in the constitutional hermeneutics of the country has been inadvertently in force without any substantial criticism and how a dialogical system among the different 1Pós-Doutor em Democracia e Direitos Humanos pelo Ius Gentium Conimbrigae - IGC/CDH, da Universidade de Coimbra.

    TOWARD A GRAMMAR OF THE BLOGOSPHERE: RHETORIC AND ATTENTION IN THE NETWORKED IMAGINARY by Damien Smith Pfister B.A., University of Alabama, 2000 M.A., University of Pittsburgh, 2004 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2009i UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH School of Arts and Sciences This dissertation was presented by Damien Smith Pfister It was defended on January 16, 2009 and approved by Dr. Gregory Crowley, Coro Center for Civic Leadership Dr. John Lyne, Professor, Department of Communication Dr. Barbara Warnick, Professor, Department of Communication Dissertation Advisor: Gordon R. Mitchell, Associate Professor, Department of Communication ii Copyright © by Damien Smith Pfister 2009 iii TOWARD A GRAMMAR OF THE BLOGOSPHERE: RHETORIC AND ATTENTION IN THE NETWORKED IMAGINARY Damien Smith Pfister, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2009 This dissertation explores the rhetorical imaginary of internetworked societies by examining three cases where actors in the blogosphere shaped public deliberation. In each case, I analyze a trope that emerged organically as bloggers theorized their own rhetorical interventions, and argue that these tropes signal shifts in how citizens of networked societies imagine their relations. The first case study, on the blogosphere’s reaction to Trent Lott’s 2002 toast to Strom Thurmond, examines how bloggers “flooded the zone” by relentlessly interpreting the event and finding evidence that eventually turned the tide of public opinion against Lott. Flooding the zone signifies the inventional possibilities of blogging through the production of copious public argument. The second case study, focusing on the 2003 blogging of the Salam Pax, an English- speaking Iraqi living in Iraq on the precipice of war, develops the idea of “ambient intimacy” which is produced through the affective economy of blogging.

  • Intelligentsia, Intellectuals, and the Uses of Social Intelligence
    1 Intelligentsia, Intellectuals, and the Uses of Social Intelligence Mikhail Epstein Keywords: Russian culture, intelligentsia, intellectuals, intelligentsia and the people, the end of intelligentsia, humanification *Mikhail Epstein is the Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Cultural Theory and Russian Literature at Emory University ([email protected]). 2 What else is there left to say about the intelligentsia? One hundred ten years ago, during the short stretch between the first Russian revolution and World War I, Sasha Cherny wrote this verse about the intelligentsia, sad and ironic at the same time. In hindsight, Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov with their comic character Vasisualy Lokhankin seem like poor imitators. The Intelligent With the last cherished hope abandoned, Tired tongue pathetically hanging out, Fast asleep in his European clothes, He is snoring like an ailing steam engine. Big Ideas exhausted in fruitless intrigues, Yearnings suspended in the web cubs of the night, Unread books piled up on the floor in the corner, His sacred tablets are shattered into pieces. Bitter sounds of blowing wind outside... But the walls are high and the sofa is snug. Heeling and bountiful is the sleep Of those drunk on unfulfilled hopes. From the depth of your slumber please tell me your secret – why are you so mortally tired of life? Is it your chasing happiness around the world Or have you spent yourself cultivating the land? His eyelids parted. And the barely audible voice full of melancholy whispered to me: “Brother! One hope I buried after another, Brother! Nothing exhausts you more than lost hope. Fiery orations, bold gestures, unmet expectations Have consumed me in that wild macabre dance.

  • Beyond Utopias. Evolutionary Rationalism and Noocracy
    Conference “Modern biology and the visions of humanity”, Genoa 22-23 March 2004. Published: (1) In English: European Communities (Ed.) Modern biology and visions of humanity. Multiscience publishing co., Essex, pp. 125-137 (2) In French: Communauté européenne (Ed.) Biologie moderne et visions de l´humanité. De Boeck & Larcier, Bruxelles, pp. 135-148 (3) In Italian: Casa Editrice Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza, Roma, pp. 127-140 Session III: Life sciences and democracy Beyond utopias: evolutionary rationalism and noocracy Ladislav Kováč Center for Cognitive Biology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius University, Mlynská dolina, 842 15 Bratislava, Slovakia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The rationalism of Continental Europe has been based on the belief in the unlimited potential of individual human reason. In its conception, the essence of human consciousness consists in thinking and reasoning. It has promoted the design of social utopias. Its two principal tenets are not substantiated by biology. Human conscious deliberation appears to be just a ʻmonomolecular layerʼ on an immense ʻoceanʼ of the adaptive unconscious. Science may favour an alternative doctrine, evolutionary rationalism: rationality in nature and in society is a phenomenon a posteriori, a product of selection from countless trials and failures. Democracy is one such evolutionary product. Yet, the spontaneous flexibility and adaptability of democracy may no longer keep pace with the high speed of growth of science and technology. Noocracy may become an evolutionary outgrowth of democracy, having the capacity to match the quickly changing states of knowledge. It would comprise conscious, systematic and institutionalised experimentation taking place in many decentralised autonomous subsystems.

    Research Project: New and Ambiguous Nation-Building Processes in South-Eastern Europe Working Paper Series STAGING THE TRANSNISTRIAN IDENTITY : A DECONSTRUCTION OF THE OFFICIAL HOLLIDAY ’S DISCOURSE Ala Svet http://www.oei.fu-berlin.de/nation-building/resources/wp/svet_03 New and Ambiguous Nation-Building Processes in South-Eastern Europe http://www.oei.fu-berlin.de/en/projekte/nation-building Staging the Transnistrian Identity: A Deconstruction of the Official Holliday’s Discourse Ala Svet – Free International University of Moldova Abstract The politics of identity loom large in post-Soviet societies. It matters as conceptually as a contested fact of contemporary political life. This article focuses upon the consolidation processes of Transnistrian society where Transnistrian leaders play a key role in the construction of national identity via a top-down process. Are analyzed different approaches of self-identification practices; paternalistic atavisms in the creation and keeping of a separate identity; consolidating factors and strategies in analysis of ideology; analyzing of state in-group projection and attitude toward out-group. An important attention is paid to the speeches of Transnistrian leadership in mass media and interviews with the residents of Rybnitsa regarding the official holidays. Key Soviet holidays, May Day and October Revolution, are still celebrated in Transnistria mostly by older generation and members of communist party. Transnistria has instituted a secular public holiday: Independence Day (September, 2). This date is related specifically to the formation of a new Transnistrian region. Military might and pioneers prowess, a Soviet source of pride, are now included in celebrations of the Transnistrian state. October Revolution Day, May Day, Victory Day, Independence Day permits to understand the dynamics of nation- building process and the impact of these commemorations on transnistrian nation-building discourse.

    Justice as a Social Bargain and Optimization Problem Andreas Siemoneit Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Germany. ZOE Institute for future-fit economies, Bonn, Germany. June 2021 Abstract: The question of “Justice” still divides social research and moral philosophy. Several Theories of Justice and conceptual approaches compete here, and distributive justice remains a major societal controversy. From an evolutionary point of view, fair and just exchange can be nothing but “equivalent”, and this makes “strict” reciprocity (merit, equity) the foundational principle of justice, both theoretically and empirically. But besides being just, justice must be effective, efficient, and communicable. Moral reasoning is a communicative strategy for resolving conflict, enhancing status, and maintaining cooperation, thereby making justice rather a social bargain and an optimization problem. Social psychology (intuitions, rules of thumb, self-bindings) can inform us when and why the two auxiliary principles equality and need are more likely to succeed than merit would. Nevertheless, both equality and need are governed by reciprocal considerations, and self-bindings help to interpret altruism as “very generalized reciprocity”. The Meritocratic Principle can be implemented, and its controversy avoided, by concentrating on “non- merit”, i.e., institutionally draining the wellsprings of undeserved incomes (economic rents). Avoiding or taxing away economic rents is an effective implementation of justice in liberal democracies. This would enable market economies
