The assessment of complex influence of climatic, soil and agronomical factors on the formation of winter wheat yield in Central Chernozem region under modern conditions is carried out. It is found out that the territorial variation of arable land productivity is based on the interaction of the productive capacity of climate, soil quality and the level of field management, which determines 68 to 74 % of yield variance. For regional levels, the assessment of the resources of winter wheat yield is given using a minimum set of agroclimatic parameters, agrochemical soil properties. The hierarchy of significant factors is determined and a set of indicators for assessing the resource state of agricultural landscapes which are necessary for rational use of natural resources of the territory is determined.

The paper presents the results of studying changes in the ice-forming properties of natural and anthropogenic aerosols containing aluminosilicates when exposed to vaporous iodine. Iodine vapors that are present in the atmosphere as components of natural and anthropogenic pollution and invariably formed during weather modification by pyrotechnic and other means increase the ice-forming activity of natural aerosols, in particular, those having aluminosilicate structures in their composition. It was found that the sorption capacity for molecular iodine vapor for aluminosilicate sorbents is 234 ± 1.0 mg/g. The coefficient of iodine extraction from gas-aerosol media during the sorption in the dynamic mode is 99.5 ± 0.2%. An increase in the ice-forming aerosol activity in this case is from one to three orders of magnitude.

El concepto de gnosis (ginān) en la literatura del Ginān de los ismailíes del sur de Asia
Authors: Virani Shafique N. , Martos Armenteros Virginia
Published: November 2022

Los gināns son un corpus de literatura religiosa ismailí del sur de Asia. Su temática es muy variada e incluye cuestiones como el amor divino, la cosmología, la meditación, la práctica ritual, la escatología y el comportamiento ético. La palabra ‘ginān’ deriva en última instancia de la raíz sánscrita ‘ŷñāna’ y está relacionada etimológicamente con la palabra griega ‘γνῶσις’, o ‘gnôsis’, que tiene derivados en muchas lenguas. Varios estudiosos han señalado el doble significado del término ‘ginān’ entre los ismailíes, ya que se refiere tanto a su literatura sagrada como a la gnosis. Este estudio exhaustivo explora el significado y el uso de la palabra ‘ginān’ en la propia tradición ginān. Como la mayoría de los gināns se recitan en melodías particulares, este estudio de la tradición ginān se inspira en la organización de la sinfonía tradicional. Al igual que una sinfonía, composición extensa en la música clásica occidental, suele estar dividida en cuatro movimientos, este estudio de la Sinfonía de la Gnosis se compone de cuatro secciones, cada una de las cuales explora diferentes aspectos acerca de cómo se define la tradición ginān.
Practicar la vacuidad: zazen y shikan-taza más allá del bien y del mal
Authors: Cadavid Ramírez Marcela
Published: November 2022

Este artículo se propone dilucidar las prácticas zen como prácticas desde la vacuidad, situando su comprensión a partir de una dilucidación de la expresión nietzscheana de estar más allá del bien y del mal. Para esto, este texto se divide en dos partes, la primera, titulada Sobre la expresión nietzscheana más allá del bien y del mal, trabaja la sentencia del filósofo alemán en el contexto de su reflexión sobre el nihilismo; la segunda, titulada Zazen y Shikan-taza: estar más allá del bien y del mal desde la vacuidad, relaciona las prácticas de zazen y de shikan-taza con el término vacuidad y, a través de esta relación, se lee este situarse más allá del bien y el mal desde la perspectiva budista que aquí se estudia. El artículo concluye al retomar a Nietzsche y la importancia de mantener presente la referencia a la vacuidad.

The present study lies within the field of sociolinguistics or those studies that link the social aspect of life and its representation in the spoken language. We chose our a data that was written in an important age which is 'the Baghdadi proverbs' that were prevalent at the beginning of the twentieth century and collected in the book of "Al-Amthal Baghdadia" by Sheikh Jalal Al-Hanafi Al-Baghdadi. In this paper, we extracted the social phenomena in the proverbs that were embodied through the linguistic indications used by the speakers in special contexts derived from the context of the indications of those proverbs. We analyzed these phenomena through the context of their pragmatic use and their sociological impact on the formation of these connotations, and their expression of the intentions of the speakers.

Authors: Şimşek Deniz , Küçük Nuran , Bıdıl Semra , Fikret Özer Feridun , Kalender Hülya , Yazgan Ebru
Published: November 2022

Hip abductor (ABD) and adductor (ADD) muscle imbalances lead to injuries in lumbo-pelvic hip complex, and these imbalances and other factors such as foot posture might affect dynamic balance. The present study aims to examine body mass index (BMI), dynamic balance and hip muscle strength values of adolescents with different foot posture alteration. Fifty-nine healthy adolescents (mean age 12±3 years, height 156±11.46 cm, weight 50.57±11.60 kg) voluntarily participated in the study. The participants were divided into two groups according to Foot Posture Index (FPI): (Neutral Foot Group (NFG), n=48 / Prone Foot Group (PFG), n=11). The participants’ single leg – both legs dynamic balance values were measured by using balance measurement device (TOGUtm), and their hip ABD and ADD isometric muscle strengths were measured through the load cell. The dynamic balance, BMI and muscle strength values of the groups were compared by using Independent Sample t-Test. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups according to right and left single leg dynamic balance values (p<0.05). The study revealed that one of the most significant factors affecting dynamic balance in adolescents is foot posture. It is believed that using insoles suitable for the foot posture might be helpful in increasing the efficiency of dynamic movements carried out on a single leg and it is essential to suggest some exercises to correct foot postures when necessary.
Children and Youth with Life-Limiting or Life-Threatening Conditions – Overview the Topics of Educational Practice: A Scoping Review
Authors: Haroková Martina , Crastina Jan
Published: November 2022

Objectives: The scoping review (ScoRev) presents the literature relating to the education of children and youth with life-limiting conditions (LLC) and life-threatening conditions (LTC) and identifies and describes the topics that appear in the literature. Method: The scoping review was conducted based on Arksey and O’Malley’s 5-stage ramework. In a total of five databases, ProQuest, ERIC, Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCO Discovery Service a combination of keywords was used to identify 14 records published in 2002- 2018 that corresponded to the ScoRev selection criteria. These records were then analyzed in terms of content and classified into thematic ategories and subcategories. Results: The ScoRev selection consisted of a dissertation and thirteen journal articles. A well-elaborated topic of the studies related to the teacher’s roles, experiences, and needs in the education of a child with LLC or LTC. Other topics included the challenges in the education of these children, intervention, or eath of a child in school. The topic of education of students with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions is most frequently assessed from the teacher’s perspective. Conclusion: The results of the ScoRev may suggest a lack of available resources that would reflect the current practice of educating children and youth with LLC and/or LTC n a general basis.
Cognitive profiles of students with hearing loss as a pathway for differentiated instruction
Authors: Gupta Pooja
Published: November 2022

"Hearing loss can disrupt a child’s cognitive abilities and academic growth in areas such as reading, writing, math, social studies, and sciences. Yet educational interventions to enhance the cognitive performance of students with hearing loss remain uncertain because researchers have not holistically mapped the cognitive profiles of this opulation. The goal of the study was to compare the cognitive profiles of elementary, middle, and high school students with hearing loss to determine typical patterns of cognition. The participants included diagnosticians in a targeted school district who responded to a survey about the cognitive profiles of students with hearing loss who received special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The study employed heat maps to visually chart the strengths and weaknesses of the sample and render the results accessible to general practitioners. The findings of this study revealed that almost all students in the population were functioning in he below-average to average range on all cognitive abilities. Patterns of performance indicated that if a student scored below average on one cognitive ability, they likely performed below average on the other cognitive abilities. The study indicates that interventions should be designed to address each student’s individual profile. "
CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC INTERESTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Authors: Rizwan Ghani, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Khan
Published: November 2022

China is a relative newcomer to the Middle East region. Indeed, as it is not in China’s immediate neighbourhood, for a long time its importance to Beijing remained low. This began to change in the early 2000s. Due to its impressive economic expansion, marked by joining the World Trade Organization in 2001, China’s energy consumption growth rate accelerated, making the energy-rich region increasingly crucial to China’s energy security. Thus, the destabilization that came to the Middle East with the Global War on Terror declared by the United States as a result of the 9/11 terrorist attack, endangered its interests. At the same time, however, having significant Muslim minorities of its own, China was keen to maintain the security of its Muslim-majority provinces and used the GWOT as justification for curbing the threat of its internal, separatist “Islamic terrorism”. Eventually, then, to accommodate its growing interest in the region, China expanded its “greater neighbourhood” to include the Middle East as well. Presently, while still not a key partner for Beijing, the region is one of the main suppliers of China’s gas and oil, an increasingly important export destination, a territory of continuous construction activity of Chinese companies under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), and an object of a large-scale Chinese charm offensive. Slowly, it is becoming an object of Beijing’s security interests as well.
SHARIA LAW- THE WEST ENGULFED IN A FRENZY OF FEAR
Authors: Sami Ur Rahman, Syed Sikandar Shah Mohmand, Ms. Iqra Ahmed
Published: November 2022

Our paper aims to decode the immense fear which is evoked by the word Sharia in the West. For the masses of the West-mainly European and North American, Sharia is no less threatening than Lord Voldemort himself- something which is widely misinterpreted as medieval legal system with only one version of extreme interpretation which is used by bearded mullas to oppress women and give draconian rulings. However, at the back of their minds they also have a deep-rooted suspicion that Muslims want to impose Sharia law in Europe and America to dominate the West, this view is often pumped by the media when they generalize the whole 1.8 billion Muslims based on the actions of a few. Our main purpose is of writing this paper is to convey that this gloomy image of Islam and the massive ignorance at understanding Sharia did not come out of the blue. It is a deliberate manipulation to support western foreign policy goals. Throughout the paper we would elaborate the misinterpretation of Sharia by debunking 5 popular myths and how media made it worse, by quoting these peddlers of hate. We would trace how this fear was exploited by politicians to increase their vote bank and manipulate general population into supporting their interventionist foreign policy. Later on, we establish the link between these Islamophobic statements and spike in hate crime against Muslims-a direct consequence of ingesting fear 24/7. Towards the end, we give an insight about what the word Sharia really is and give solutions to actively combat the underlying hysteria of Sharia threatening the West civilization.

Authors:   Department of Comparative Religions, Faculty of Usuluddin, International Islamic University Islamabad Pakistan, Batool Munazza
Published: November 2022

The decline of Buddhism in the regions now in Pakistan is usually associated with the arrival of Islam. There is no doubt that the regions that are now dominantly Muslim were once dominantly Buddhist. But whether it is a simple matter of arrival of Islam to these areas that the entire Buddhist population turned into Islamic demography? How this transformation took place and at which historical juncture? This paper reconsiders such a narrative in light of some historical evidence traced form the contemporary sources f the period. While doing so a sketch of religious situation of the subcontinent at the arrival of Islam is presented. The paper is based on historical discourse analysis; the data is derived from various contemporary sources like the local Indian narratives, accounts of the Buddhist travelers from China besides the Islamic historical sources as well as the debate of contemporary scholars on the issue is also reviewed.

GEOGRAPHIC, HISTORIC, POLITICAL, RIPARIAN, AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS THAT LEAD TO PAKISTAN AS A LAND OF PENTA MESOPOTAMIA
Authors:   Department of Pakistan Studies and History National University of Modern Languages Islamabad Pakistan, Ahmad Khalil
Published: November 2022

The research aims to investigate Pakistan’s geographic, historic, political, riparian, and socio-economic factors that lead to Pakistan as a Land of Penta Mesopotamia. Pakistan is situated in South Asia along the coast of Arabian Sea, bordering Afghanistan in west, China in north, Iran in southwest, Arabian Sea in South and Hindustan (India) lies in the east. Historically, the land of Pakistan has been the host of Neolithic period’s South Asian multi Indus valley civilization (IVC) that includes Gandhara, Harappan, Mehrgarh, Mohenjo-Daro, Takht-i-Bahi and Texila civilizations that emerged during 3,300 BCE to 1300 BCE. Muslim Civilizations emerged from 712 to 1857 and British colonial culture also developed from 1857-1947 in this area. The Indus valley civilization flourished parallel to the Mesopotamian civilizations. Mesopotamian civilization includes the Assyrian and Babylonian Civilization that emerged in Iraq in between the two rivers of Euphrates and Tigris from 3,100 B.C. to 332 B.C. and is referred to the “Cradle of Civilizations”. Since Mesopotamian civilization attracted all the ancient civilizations in West Asia to nourish because of its friendly ecological environments, fertile land and rich alluvium soils. Pakistan’s geography also attracted the Indus valley civilizations that emerged in the confluence of seven perennial rivers i.e. Sutlej, Ravi, Chenab, Jhelum, Indus, Swat and Kabul rivers, credited as the “Cradle of South Asian Indus valley Civilizations”. Pakistan’s strategic location in the region, her favorable ecosystem for biodiversity, favorable multi seasons, fertile land, friendly ecological conditions, rich agricultural environment, rich alluvium soils, strategic multiple riparian potentials that originate from Himalayan, Karakorum, and Hindu-Kush mountain ranges, remained lucrative for South Asian Indus valley civilizations. Pakistan’s geography also remained very attractive to the sub regions of Asia i.e. Central, South and West Asia because it has provided and has been providing the Mesopotamians agrarian transit economy to landlocked countries of Afghanistan and Central Asian States from the shortest possible sea route of Arabian Sea and visa-vi to oil rich states of Middle East via China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Mesopotamian’s cultural, ecological, geographic, historic, riparian, socio-economic, socio-political equilibrium and similar factors are founded in the Indus valley civilizations that erect the sufficient evidence to prove that “Pakistan is a Land of Penta Mesopotamia”. Keywords: Civilizations, Confluence, Fertile land, Mesopotamia, Riparian potentials.

Published: November 2022

The objective of the present research was to explore the meanings, kinds, functions and structure of presumptions in common law and then use it as a conceptual framework to analyze presumptions in Qanoon e Shahadat (hereinafter QSO). The present study, after doctrinal analysis, found that presumption in common law is viewed as a rule of law which allows courts to draw certain conclusions on the basis of certain proved facts. Additionally, researchers have identified numerous categories, functions and methods to study the structure of presumptions in the process of proof in common law. Similarly, the study found five categories of presumptions, four major functions of presumptions, and four varying ways to examine the structure of presumptions in QSO. It is hoped that the present study will be helpful in appropriate understanding and application of presumptions in the process of proof in Pakistan. Keywords: presumptions, burden of proof, structure of presumptions, categories of presumptions, presumptions in common law.

The main concentration of this work is to look at the forms and functions of morphological doubling in syntax and it aims at to look at the functions and roles of double questions morphemes of Urdu and to make comparative analysis of Urdu and English languages. There are different types of doublings in English language e.g. adverbs doublings, semantic doubling but question doubling does not exist in English language because it is the unique feature of Urdu language only. Qualitative analysis with purposive sampling approach, with the framework of Lexical Functional grammar (LFG).through the concept of F-Structure from (LFG) theory, double morphemes will be analyzed. For this purpose, data will be collected through document analysis, standard books, articles, published researches, dictionaries and data from common users. 100 sentences, consisting of double morpheme, will be selected and same were put into F-Structure to explore their lexical structure to show the semantic functions in both languages. Simultaneously, the sentences were also analyzed syntactically in order to find out their appropriateness. The study may provide a good level of confidence to develop Urdu National Language processing (UNLP) and enlighten the phenomena that morphological doubling in Urdu used for multiple semantic functions to explore human notions and feelings as compare to any other South Asian Language because Urdu is the only language with per gram. and study will also explore the functional and dynamic aspects of LFG. Keywords: Reduplication, LFG, syntax, Double interrogative morphemes.

The Stigma and Self-Stigma Scales for attitudes to mental health problems: Psychometric properties and its relationship to mental health problems and absenteeism.
Authors: Docksey Alys E. , Gray Nicola S. , Davies Helen B. , Simkiss Nicola , Snowden Robert J.
Published: November 2022

The Stigma and Self-Stigma scales (SASS) measure multiple aspects of stigmatic beliefs about mental health problems, including cognitive aspects of stigma towards others (Stigma to Others) and emotional stigma toward others (Social Distance), anticipated stigma by others, self-stigma, avoidant coping strategies, and help-seeking intentions, alongside an index of social desirability. The properties of the SASS were investigated by employees of a large UK government organization. With minor exceptions, each of the SASS scales had strong psychometric properties, good internal reliability, and test-retest reliability. Social Distance, Anticipated Stigma, Self-Stigma, and Avoidant Coping were all strongly associated with a lack of help-seeking for mental health problems. Similarly, Stigma to Others, Self-Stigma, and Avoidant Coping were all associated with current mental health problems. Finally, absenteeism from the workplace was found to be negatively related to Stigma to Others, and positively related to Avoidant Coping and Anticipated Stigma. In conclusion, the SASS was able to measure several different forms of stigma about mental health simultaneously in people both with and without a history of mental health problems. The SASS can be used to monitor changes in mental health attitudes outcomes following intervention programs to investigate stigmatic attitudes to mental health problems across different samples.

Published: November 2022

Methamphetamine has been labeled “America’s most dangerous drug” and has received significant public health attention. Stimulant addiction and tolerance are heavily documented in the literature; increasingly larger doses maintain euphoria in short time periods to withstand stimulant tolerance. Stimulant deaths are high in the United States and abroad. Between 2013 and 2019, deaths related to methamphetamine use quadrupled from 3,616 to 16,127. Methamphetamine use increased four-fold from 2015 to 2016. Due to this increase in methamphetamine use and its associated medical complications, the mortality rate associated with methamphetamine use has doubled over the past ten years. Cardiopulmonary symptoms include chest pain, palpitations, and shortness of breath. Methamphetamine-related myocardial infarction can also occur. Central nervous system symptoms include agitation, anxiety, delusions, hallucinations, and seizures. Methamphetamine-induced psychosis may unmask underlying psychiatric disorders. It can also cause cerebral vasculitis, which elicits cortical blindness and ischemic strokes. Methamphetamine-induced neurotoxicity in serotonergic systems is more diffuse, involving the striatum, hippocampus, septum, amygdala, and hypothalamus leading to mood changes, psychosis, and memory impairment. This narrative review will aim to highlight the adverse effects as well as the toxicity that can occur with methamphetamine use.
James R. Harrison. (2019). Paul and the Ancient Celebrity Circuit, The Cross and Moral Transformation
Authors: Stenschke Christoph
Published: November 2022

In this collection of essays, Australian ancient historian and biblical scholar, James R. Harrison, compares aspects of today’s cult of celebrity, fuelled by various media, to the quest for glory in Roman antiquity. This was a quest characterised by the constant self-advertisement of the Roman nobility, who were so keen not only to equal the glory of their ancestors, but to surpass it. Against the backdrop of this well-attested quest for ancestral and personal glory, Harrison examines how the “shame of the cross overturns the deeply entrenched Graeco-Roman culture of esteem and, in a surprising case of social levelling, establishes humility as its crowning virtue for the great man and his dependents” (vi). This leads to the question of how this “cultural collision, still reverberating today, affected the civic ethics of Paul’s converts, their communal ethos and paradigms of group identity, their pedagogical curriculum, and their understanding of honour and dishonour?” (vi). In addition to the introductory and concluding chapters, Harrison has added three new studies (chapters 2, 3, and 6) for this collection. Five previous studies have been updated to emphasise their contribution to an understanding of how the cross of Christ effected moral transformation in the face of the self-assertive values espoused by the luminaries of the ancient celebrity circuit (vi).

Authors: Soylu Mustafa Kemal , Kang Min-gu , Shın Yong Seub
Published: November 2022

Türkiye’de mantar yetiştiriciliğinin önemli bir kısmını Agaricus bisporus kültür mantarı oluşturmaktadır. Son zamanlarda kayın mantarı (Pleurotus spp.), Shiitake mantarı (Lentinula edodes) ve Reishi mantarı (Ganoderma lucidum) gibi egzotik ve tıbbi mantarların yetiştiriciliğine olan ilgi artmaktadır. Türkiye’de egzotik ve tıbbi mantarların yetiştiriciliğinde yaygın olarak plastik torba sistemi kullanılmaktadır. Şişe kültürü, otoklav ısısına dayanıklı, polipropilen benzeri materyallerden yapılmış şişelerde yapılan bir yetiştirme tekniğidir. Mantar yetiştiriciliğinde kullanılan substrat bu şişelere doldurulmakta ve sterilize edilmektedir. Tohumluk misel ekimi yapıldıktan sonra mantar oluşumu bu şişelerde sağlanmaktadır. Türkiye’de şişe kültüründe yetiştiricilik özel sektör bazında henüz yapılmamaktadır. Çin, Japonya ve Güney Kore gibi Uzakdoğu ülkelerinde ise şişe kültüründe yetiştiricilik yaygın olarak yapılmaktadır. Son zamanlarda, Bazı Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinde ve ABD’de de şişe kültüründe yetiştiricilik yapılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu sistemle Pleurotus mantarı türleri (Pleurotus eryngii, Pleurotus ostreatus vb.) Hypsizygus tessulatus, Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), Maitake mantarı (Grifolia frondosa), Enoki mantarı (Flammulina velutipes) ve Aslan yelesi (Hericium erinaceus) gibi birçok mantar yetiştiriciliği yapılabilmektedir. Şişe kültürü mekanize sistem olup, daha az işçilik gerektirir. Sıvı misel kullanımına olanak verdiğinden, daha hızlı bir misel sarımı gerçekleşir. Şişelerin boşaltılması ve temizlenmesinde de mekanize sistemler kullanılmaktadır. Güney Kore’de bulunan Gyeongsangbuk-Do Tarımsal Araştırma ve Yayım Hizmetleri ile yapılan işbirliği anlaşması çerçevesinde, şişe kültüründe mantar yetiştiriciliği Güney Kore’de incelenmiş ve şişe kültürü teknolojisi ülkemize transfer edilmiştir. Şişe kültürünün kullanımının yaygınlaşmasıyla Türkiye’de egzotik ve tıbbi mantarların endüstriyel üretiminin çok hızlı bir şekilde gelişeceğini düşünmekteyiz.

Bilim Kurgu Filmlerinde Gelecek Öngörülerinin Teknoloji Üretimine Etkisi: Geleceğe Dönüş 2 Filmi
Authors: BERK Mustafa Evren
Published: November 2022

Lumiere Kardeşlerin sinematografı icat etmesiyle birlikte belki de geleceğin en popüler sanat dalının sinemanın oluşmasında büyük payı yadsınamaz. Trenin Gar’a Gelişi filmiyle izleyenleri büyük bir şaşkınlığa uğratan Lumiere Kardeşlerin, geleceğe de yön vermiş olan sinematorafisinin, ne kadar önemli bir görev üstlendiğini 1960 ve sonrası filmlerde görmekteyiz. Teknolojik gelişmelerin de yardımıyla hem sinemada hem de senaryoların bilim kurgu ile birleşmesi sonucu ortaya kaliteli yapımlar sunulmuştur. Bunlardan bir tanesi de 1968 Stanley Kubrick yapımı olan 2001: Uzay Macerası filmi olmuştur. Star Wars filmlerinin de oluşmasında ilham kaynağı olan 2001: Uzay Macerası filmi, günümüz bilim kurgu filmlerinin önünü açmada en önemli paya sahip film olarak gösterilebilir. Sinemadaki Teknolojik buluşların reel hayattaki karşılıklarını deneyimlemekle kalmayıp, ileriye dönük yeni icatların ortaya çıkmasında bilimkurgu filmlerinin payı büyüktür. Bilimkurgu filmleri sadece görsel şov ya da eğlence için değil geleceğe yönelik öngörü ve fikir oluşturmada da izleyenlerin ufkunu açmadaki en önemli işlevlerinden birisidir. Bu çalışma kapsamında, 1990 öncesi yapımı olan Geleceğe Dönüş 2 filminde tasarlanan teknolojik gelişmelerin günümüze yansıyıp ya da yansımadığı karşılaştırmalı olarak tartışılacaktır. İncelenecek olan Geleceğe Dönüş 2 filminin senaryo gereği 2015’teki öngörüleri ile günümüzdeki yansımaları arasında ne gibi değişikler olduğu da teknolojik gelişmeler bağlamında açıklanacaktır.
Ripensare l’Empirismo Radicale di William James e Alfred North Whitehead per costruire nuove pragmatiche eco-politiche nel presente
Authors: Cirillo Valeria
Published: November 2022

In questo articolo, tratterò di come l’empirismo radicale, pensato insieme al pragmatismo di James e al metodo speculativo di Whitehead, operi un decentramento del ruolo della coscienza umana nel processo di costruzione del reale. Questa operazione, concentrandosi sulla primarietà delle relazioni nella co-costituzione delle entità tutte con gli ambienti, può essere uno strumento utile per ripensare pragmatiche eco-politiche all’interno di un’epoca precaria come quella della crisi socio-climatica. Il metodo speculativo di W. e il pragmatismo di J, assumendo un’esperienza assoluta che è il prodotto immanente di un insieme di relazioni/flussi e materia, pongono il pensiero, gli oggetti, gli immaginari e i viventi, tra cui l’umano, in un processo di costituzione costante e reciproco della realtà. L’esperienza dell’empirismo radicale, accompagnata dal pragmatismo e dal metodo speculativo, può divenire in questa direzione uno strumento pratico per comporre nuove idee capaci di ingaggiarsi nel reale per creare nuovi ambienti insieme ai viventi e non con cui l’umano condivide la vita sulla terra.
