Pierre Bourdieu
Authors: Yair Gad
Published: February 2025

Pierre Bourdieu: The Last Musketeer of the French Revolution argues that Bourdieu appointed himself as the representative of the French people and acted as its National Assembly. In that capacity, he set himself to work with the charter of the preamble toThe Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen to remind the members of the social body of their rights and obligations; to monitor the legislative and executive powers and compare them with the Republican purposes of ideal political and social agendas decreed by the revolutionaries of 1789; and, overall, to maintain the tenets of the French constitution. In that sense, like d'Artagnan in Dumas'The Three Musketeers, Bourdieu took it upon himself to be the fighter for true France, namely the keeper of the Republican tradition of the French Revolution. Bourdieu's entire oeuvre was indeed motivated by the failed promise of the French Revolution and by the demise of its most noble ideals. His passionate analyses_of educational stratification, cultural production and consumption, gender relations, the social structure of the economy, and the effects of globalization_were always carried out with the moral benchmark of the revolution in mind. Bourdieu was indeed passionately tied to the values of the French Revolution, notably to liberty and meritocracy, to social equality and to the democratization and universalization of government. But wherever he looked, he saw those values betrayed by the very people who argued for their implementation, and by the governmental bodies which were devised in order to guarantee their effectiveness. Committed to the values of the Declaration, he was constantly frustrated by the betrayals of universalization by the Fifth Republic.
Indirect Perpetrators
Authors: Szanajda Andrew
Published: February 2025

In Indirect Perpetrators Andrew Szanajda examines the administration of correctional and transitional justice in postwar Germany from 1945 to 1955. He is specifically concerned with the prosecution of those who had denounced others to the authorities during the National Socialist era. The first part of this work looks at the reasons behind the decision to prosecute informers with perpetrating a crime against humanity and the philosophical, legal, and practical problems associated with the administration of justice retroactively in the German courts through legislation specifically enacted for this purpose under the auspices of the Allied occupation powers and subsequent legislation enacted by the German authorities. The second part of the book examines the implementation of this law and the prosecution of informers in the American, French, and British occupation zones and then later in the Federal Republic of Germany, drawing on court proceedings and the judgments that were handed down in these cases. Szanajda discusses the problems associated with the implementation of this law in the respective zones and in the Federal Republic of Germany and the lessons to be drawn from this historically significant attempt to call individuals to account for their crimes against humanity after they had occurred through the use of retroactive legislation.
Religion, Science, and Democracy
Authors: Stenmark Lisa L.
Published: February 2025

Despite the increasing popularity of “religion and science” as an academic discourse, the intersection of science and religion remains a front line in an ongoing “culture war.” The reasons for this lie in an approach to discourse that closely resembles the model of discourse promoted by John Rawls, in which plural discourse —such as between religion and science— is based on a foundation of shared beliefs and established facts. This leads to a “doctrines and discoveries” approach to the relationship of religion and science, which focuses on their respective truth claims in an attempt to find areas of agreement. This framework inherently privileges scientific perspectives, which actually increases conflict between religion and science, and undermines public discourse by inserting absolutes into it. To the extent that the science and religion discourse adopts this approach, it inadvertently increases the conflict between religion and science and limits our ability to address matters of public concern.

This book suggests an alternative model for discourse, a disputational friendship, based on the work of Hannah Arendt. This approach recognizes the role that authorities —and thus religion and science— play in public life, but undermines any attempt to privilege a particular authority, because it promotes the position of the storyteller, who never settles on a single story but always seeks to incorporate many particular stories into her account. A disputational friendship promotes storytelling not by seeking agreement, but by exploring areas of disagreement in order to create the space for more conversations and to generate more stories and additional interpretations. Successful discourse between religion and science is not measured by its ability to determine “truth” or “fact,” but by its ability to continually expand the discourse and promote public life and public judgment.
Rural Transition in Azerbaijan
Authors: Lerman Zvi , Sedik David
Published: February 2025

In 1995D96 the President of Azerbaijan, Heydar Alieyev, launched a program of agrarian reforms that caused a sweeping and irreversible shift from Soviet-style collective agriculture to individual farming in his country. These reforms led to an impressive recovery and substantial productivity improvements in agriculture. The agrarian transition in Azerbaijan contrasts with that in Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan, where land privatization has been accompanied by policies encouraging the persistence of large corporate farms and where agricultural recovery has been much less impressive. For this reason Azerbaijan is today viewed as one of the few examples of successful land reform in the former Soviet Union. The impact of the Aliyev agrarian reforms went far beyond the recovery of agricultural production. The new policies had a significant impact on rural poverty and they were instrumental in increasing the incomes of Azerbaijan's large rural population, which relies on agriculture for a substantial part of the family budget. To understand the successes and limitations of land reform, Rural Transition in Azerbaijan evaluates the record of rural reforms, focusing on policy change, farm level performance, and the impact of reforms on rural incomes and rural family well-being-issues that today are at the core of the agenda in many international organizations.
Getting a Cut
Authors: Seltzer Richard , Ochs Holona LeAnne
Published: February 2025

The perspective of those who receive commissions has been largely ignored, and much of the literature on commissions and bonuses focuses on the concerns of management without regard for the employees or much recognition that understanding the employee perspective contributes significantly to fostering a more productive work environment. Getting a Cut is based on semi-structured interviews with over 450 people between the two volumes. The diverse respondents from across the U.S. provide a people-first perspective on work within commission structures. Understanding what people think about their compensation and how they experience their work provides an understanding of management that has never been addressed. The book provides empirically-based, practical information for anyone interested in effective, professional management. The experiences of those who work for commissions teach us that commission structures interact with the dynamics of the work force and the skill of management to elicit specific behaviors from sales staff. Employers may use employee perspectives to gauge the work environment and determine how to structure of the commission system may yield the greatest gains in performance.
Classical Indian Philosophy of Induction
Authors: Chakrabarti Kisor Kumar
Published: February 2025

Induction is a basic method of scientific and philosophical inquiry. The work seeks to show against the skeptical tide that the method is secure and reliable. The problem of induction has been a hotly debated issue in modern and contemporary philosophy since David Hume. However, long before the modern era Indian philosophers have addressed this problem for about two thousand years. This work examines some major Indian viewpoints including those of Jayarasi (7th century), Dharmakirti (7th century), Prabhakara (8th century), Udayana (11th century) and Prabhacandra (14th century). It also discusses some influential contemporary positions including those of Russell, Strawson, Popper, Reichenbach, Carnap, Goodman and Quine. The main focus is on the Nyaya view developed by Gangesa (13th century). A substantial part of the work is devoted to annotated translation of selected chapters from Gangesa's work dealing with the problem of induction with copious references to the later Nyaya philosophers including Raghunatha (15th century), Mathuranatha (16th century), Jagadisa (17th century) and Gadadhara (17th century). An annotated translation of selections from Sriharsa (12th century) of the Vedanta school, Prabhacandra of the Jaina school and Dharmakirti of the Buddhist school is also included. A solution is presented to the classical problem of induction and the Grue paradox based on the Nyaya perspective. The solution includes an argument from counterfactual reasoning, arguments in defense of causality, analyses of circularity and logical economy, arguments for objective universals and an argument from belief-behavior contradiction.
Ah Q Archaeology
Authors: Foster Paul B.
Published: February 2025

Although Lu Xun was a leading intellectual and writer in twentieth century China, and his representative character Ah Q, hero of 'The True Story of Ah Q,' is considered an iconic repository of progressive Chinese thinking about the national character, few works examine the major discourses in his thought and writing relative to broader historical and intellectual currents outside the context of his politicization. Ah Q Archaeology, however, concretely situates Lu Xun's critique of national character vis-a-vis metanarratives of nationalism and modernity through a close examination of his works in their historical context. Paul B. Foster uses a discursive approach to tie together Lu Xun's major theme of national character critique and its fate in China's tumultuous twentieth century. This book is an important and unique contribution to modern Chinese intellectual history and modern Chinese literature.
Apologia Politica
Authors: Negash Girma
Published: February 2025

Apologia Politica defines and explores the nature of public apology. Focusing on collectivities and their agencies in the apology process, author Girma Negash examines public apology as ethical and public discourse, recommends criteria for the apology process, analyzes historical and contemporary cases, and formulates a guide to ethical conduct in public apologies. This is a groundbreaking work, elaborating upon the interface between ethics and statecraft in the domain of public apology. Using democracy, moral identity, and accumulated wisdom as a yardstick in the prescription of ethical conduct, Apologia Politica proposes four imperatives for successful public apology: acknowledgement; public exposure and truth-telling; remorse through public record; and, finally, defining identity for accountability. It is a valuable resource for those interested in peace-building or the relationships between Germany and Israel, Japan and its neighboring countries, the international community and Rwanda, and the United States and China.

Published: February 2025

Background: Effective postoperative pain management, particularly in orthopedic procedures, presents significant challenges. There is increasing evidence supporting the benefits of multimodal analgesia, including the use of gabapentinoids and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), to minimize opioid consumption while effectively managing pain. However, a gold-standard treatment has not been established. Objectives: This study aims to compare the efficacy of duloxetine and pregabalin within a multimodal analgesic regimen for managing postoperative pain and their opioid-sparing effects following knee fracture surgery. Methods: In this double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT), 54 patients undergoing knee fracture surgery were randomized to receive either 75 mg oral pregabalin or 30 mg duloxetine twice daily, starting at least 24 hours prior to surgery and continuing up to 48 hours postoperatively. Pain severity was assessed at admission and at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours post-operation. Patients reporting a pain score greater than six on a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) received intramuscular morphine. Additionally, total opioid dose, associated complications, and drug adverse effects were monitored within the first 48 hours post-surgery. Results: Although there was no statistically significant difference between the duloxetine and pregabalin groups at each time point, the reduction in pain at the 48-hour mark was more pronounced in the duloxetine group compared to the pregabalin group. The duloxetine group required higher doses of morphine on the first day compared to the pregabalin group (3.96 ± 3.20 mg vs. 2.14 ± 2.72 mg, P = 0.022). However, on the second day, opioid rescue was required in three patients in the pregabalin group, whereas no patients in the duloxetine group required rescue. No clinically significant adverse effects were observed in either group. Conclusions: Duloxetine 60 mg per day is an equally effective perioperative alternative to pregabalin 150 mg per day, resulting in a slight increase in rescue opioid administration with equivalent analgesic efficacy during the first 24 hours postoperatively. It demonstrates notable analgesic outcomes with no increased need for opioids between 24 to 48 hours post-surgery.
Is There a Relationship Between the Vitamin D Status of Newborns and Their Mothers and the Occurrence of Physiological and Out of Physiological Hyperbilirubinemia? A Case-Control Study
Authors: Rezakhaniha Sadra , Rezakhaniha Bijan , Siroosbakht Soheila
Published: February 2025

Background: The role of vitamin D deficiency in the severity of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NH) has been speculative. There are controversies about the association of NH and vitamin D status in neonates and their mothers Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between physiological and out of physiological NH and the vitamin D status of both neonates and their mothers. Methods: This case-control study was conducted with 50 mothers and their healthy term newborns (born after 37 weeks of gestation) with non-physiological NH (case group) and 150 mothers and their healthy term newborns with physiological NH (control group) in Golestal Hospital Tehran, Iran from October 2020 to June 2024. The relationship between the vitamin D status of newborns and mothers and the newborns’ bilirubin levels was defined as the main outcome measures. Blood samples were collected from the subjects between the 3rd-5th days postpartum to measure bilirubin and vitamin D levels. The data was analyzed using a Multivariate logistic Regression analysis to estimate OR at a 95% CI. Results: The neonates and mothers in the case group exhibited significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to those in the control group (27.8 ± 10.04 ng/mL vs. 33.9 ± 9.39 ng/mL, P = 0.006 and 20.56 ± 10.2 ng/mL vs. 26 ± 8.92 ng/mL, P = 0.001, respectively). A significant correlation was observed between neonatal and maternal vitamin D levels in the case and control groups (r = 0.74, P = 0.01 and r = 0.77, P = 0.01, respectively). Moreover, a significant negative correlation was found between the newborns’ bilirubin levels and both neonatal and maternal vitamin D status in the case group (r = -0.34, P = 0.02 and r = -0.21, P = 0.04, respectively). Additionally, a significant negative correlation was observed between the newborns’ bilirubin levels and both neonatal and maternal vitamin D status in the control group (r = -0.41, P = 0.01 and r = -0.42, P = 0.01, respectively). Conclusions: Vitamin D levels were significantly lower in neonates with non-physiological NH, compared to those with physiological NH. Moreover, a significant negative correlation was observed between the newborns’ bilirubin levels and both neonatal and maternal vitamin D status. This correlation was more pronounced in cases of non-physiological NH. It appears that vitamin D levels play a role in NH.

Published: February 2025

Background: With the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes, particularly among older adults, the importance of self-care has become increasingly significant. In this study, we analyzed the effects of mobile phone-based training using the Idia software on self-care behavior and glycemic control in older adults with type 2 diabetes. Objectives: This investigation aimed to test the hypothesis that a mobile applications (app) would improve self-management, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels compared to controls. Methods: The study was a randomized controlled trial involving 51 participants in the experimental group who received the intervention via the Idia app for one month and 51 participants in the control group who received usual care for the same period. Outcomes were assessed using HbA1c, FBS, and responses to the summary of diabetes self-care activities before and after the training sessions. Results: At the end of the study, HbA1c levels in the experimental group decreased from 7.25% to 6.8% (P < 0.001), while in the control group, levels decreased from 7.24% to 7.19% (P < 0.001). Similarly, FBS levels decreased from 171 mg/dL to 122 mg/dL (P < 0.001) in the experimental group and from 181 mg/dL to 145 mg/dL (P < 0.001) in the control group. Although both groups showed improvements, the differences were more pronounced in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusions: The key finding of this study is that educational interventions through mobile apps have the potential to improve self-care behaviors and HbA1c and FBS levels in older adults with type 2 diabetes. However, further studies with longer follow-up periods are recommended to validate these results.

Published: February 2025

Background: Nurse-patient communication is crucial in healthcare, particularly in the emergency department (ED), where rapid decision-making and treatment are essential. Effective communication not only aids in diagnosis and treatment but also impacts patient satisfaction and overall healthcare outcomes. Objectives: This study evaluated the impact of nurse-patient communication on patient satisfaction within the ED. Methods: The study was conducted in the ED at the King Abdullah Medical Complex in Jeddah city over a one-year period, from September 19, 2023, to September 30, 2024. A quantitative cross-sectional study gathered data from 401 patients and 60 ED nurses. Two validated tools were utilized for data collection: The La Monica Oberst Patient Satisfaction Scale (LOPSS) and the Nurse Quality of Communication with Patient Questionnaire (NQCPQ). Results: Despite positive communication scores, no significant relationship was found between nurse-patient communication and patient satisfaction (Pearson’s correlation coefficient = -0.08, P = 0.56). Sex and educational level significantly impacted patient satisfaction, with female patients and patients with higher educational levels reporting greater satisfaction. Conversely, age and marital status influenced nurse-patient communication. Conclusions: Effective communication is essential for achieving positive patient satisfaction. However, this study did not find a direct relationship between nurse-patient communication and patient satisfaction. Demographic factors, such as educational level and gender, significantly influence patient satisfaction and should be considered in tailoring communication strategies. Healthcare organizations should prioritize enhancing nurses’ communication through targeted training, reducing workload, and fostering supportive work environments.
Enhanced Android Malware Detection through Artificial Neural Networks Technique
Authors: Habeeb Mustafa Abdulfattah , Khaleel Yahya Layth
Published: February 2025

Android devices are rapidly being used, which makes it easy for the malware threat to rise to higher levels. This ever-growing problem has prompted the need to enhance detection systems as far as these devices are concerned. Standard techniques of machine learning (ML) are sufficient from the point of view of their speed for searching patterns and behaviors of contemporary malware; however, it is more important to have effectively enhanced methods. The purpose of this paper is to expand the utilization of Android malware identification via artificial neural networks (ANNs) and compare its efficiency with that of other ML methods. An ANN is used in this study, and the results are compared against those of several other types of ML, including logistic regression (LR), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), extremely randomized trees (extra trees), gradient boosting (GBM), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), and categorical boosting (CatBoost). The six evaluation values include training accuracy, testing accuracy, average accuracy, precision, recall and the F1 score. The ANN model performed well, with training and testing accuracies of 0. 99 and an average accuracy of 0. 99, precision of 0. 99, recall of 0. 98, whereas the F1 score, which is an average of both precision and recall, was 0. 99. Related studies based on conventional ML methods are also highly efficient, with some accuracy and an F1 score of 0. 95 and 0. 96. On the other hand, the ANN model ranked the best in the assessed measures. Thus, this study focuses on the reliability of ANNs for improving mobile security systems against next-generation malware and their applicability to secured Android smartphones. The reason behind the high accuracy of the ANN model is the enhanced learning ability of the ANN, which helps it learn the characteristics and dynamics of malware better than traditional ML models do.

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are an unavoidable necessity in an intellectually based economy. In contrast to the most classical economic approach which relies on natural resources, or the more modern economy which relies on the development of machinery and information technology, an intellectually based economy emphasizes exclusivity which originates from ideas and creativity. In the business world, IPR can be a very valuable asset for companies and individuals (Malkin, 2022). Companies that own IPR directly protect their creations and innovations, and can even maintain a strong market position. Apart from that, IPR can also help in building a strong brand and reputation for a product or company, which can be an important factor in winning business competition.

Law 23 of 2014 concerning regional government CHAPTER XXI Articles 386 to Article 389 emphasizes regional innovation. This affirmation is a form of breakthrough to deal with slow and monotonous bureaucratic conditions and to fight all forms of constancy and comfort zones which have produced a less productive work culture (Adler, 1999). With innovation in the administration of regional government, it is hoped that old ways of governing must be changed through government reform1.
The rationale for regulating innovation in Law Number 23 of 2014 includes: (1) regions must provide services and welfare to the community as a manifestation of regional autonomy; (2) there is an increase in regional competitiveness, which will linearly encourage national competitiveness in the international arena. Moreover, in today's free market competition, national competitiveness has become an attraction and measuring force for global competition in the trade and investment sectors; (3) innovation is the key to accelerating improvements in competitiveness considering that globally Indonesia's current condition is not very good when compared with other countries, especially in ASEAN.

Several Islamic kingdoms once developed in the city of Surakarta, including the Pajang kingdom, Mataram Islam, and Kasunanan Surakarta, leaving behind several historical buildings and objects that have great potential for tourist attraction. If it can be utilized, it will contribute quite a large regional income to the city, considering that the city of Surakarta does not have natural resources and depends on its revenues from the service and trade sectors. The remains of the buildings and historical objects in question can be packaged into cultural tourism and religious tourism. The number of religious tourism objects in the city of Surakarta exceeds the number of cultural tourism, so it has become the attention of the Surakarta City Government to prepare a road map for religious tourism in the city of Surakarta, using primary and secondary data collection methodology with descriptive analysis. Before creating a road map, the first step taken is to identify the potential for religious tourism using SWOT and TOWS analysis. It is hoped that after the potential identification has been prepared, it can become a policy reinforcement in compiling the Surakarta City Religious Tourism Road Map because it will be used by the Surakarta City Government as a guide for the development of Religious Tourism so that it is effective, efficient and targeted in its management.

Published: February 2025

The transformation of the global energy landscape and Malaysia's strategic emphasis on energy diversification and renewable energy are influencing the country's future role. Malaysia's energy transition could be seen as a successful model on a global scale. Furthermore, Malaysia has the potential to position itself as a key player in the transition from traditional fossil fuels to more sustainable and renewable energy sources, playing a significant role in the changing global energy landscape. In this context, Malaysia's potential in rare earth elements and other critical minerals positions the country as a strategic supply hub, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. The growing significance of Malaysia in this area will increase further in line with global megatrends such as energy transition and digital transformation. These developments not only contribute to Malaysia's economic growth but also pave the way for the country to assume a larger role on the global geopolitical stage.

Teachers in border regions are the driving force behind the development of education in these areas. Enhancing the professional competence of teachers in border regions is a "green" path to promoting sustainable education development in these areas. The higher the precision of targeted training within the region, the greater its effectiveness. Precision training means that the content and methods of training meet the essential needs of teachers in border regions, align with their current levels, stimulate internal motivation and potential for professional growth, and ensure teacher participation and satisfaction.
Christian education in Nigeria and ethical challenges : context of Enugu Diocese
Authors: Obodo Ernest Anezichukwu
Published: February 2025

This dissertation takes as its theme: The challenges to the Church in Enugu Diocese, Nigeria with regard to Christian education, with special reference to the Decree Gravissimum Educationis of the Second Vatican Council and c. 795 CIC/1983. It analyses the variety of problems facing Christian education in Nigeria, taking Enugu Diocese as its starting point. Many Church documents expressly single out three agents of education: Parents, Church and State. Among these, Canon Law recognizes parents as having the primordial, primary, natural and inalienable right to educate their children; a right which no human power or institution can deny them without being culpable of wrongdoing. But because parents lack all it takes to give their children an integral education; they require and deserve the help of Church, State and various cultural groups. By her vocation, the Church has the mandate to teach all the nations and is, therefore, canonically entitled to educate. Education is also an obligation and duty of the State, owing to her resolve to provide its citizens with security of life. It should not be an enterprise for the State alone but rather a joint-venture business. Nationalization of schools and monopoly of control are forms of state-imposed secularism and moral relativism. In this dissertation, we are making the case that inculturating the African perspective of education which requires collaboration between the family and society; and borrowing a leaf from the Austrian system in which there is a good collaboration between Church and state; and has had a longer and successful historical existence, will help reshape our education system in Nigeria. This work is a contribution to the search for the liberation of Africa from the shackles of ignorance. Africa is not destined to be poor and a theater of war, hunger, exploitation and ignorance. Only an education which is integral in form can open the eyes of the people to their rights and privileges and help them to struggle to reshape their destiny. The various cultures, religions and ethnic nationalities in Africa must work together in the area of education and through this, learn to live in peace with one another. Christian education does not sound the note of discrimination. A part of its contribution is to present a Christian view to the world, with a view to heal the wounds of relativism and give meaning to human existence [pp. 17-18].

Published: February 2025

Unconstrained optimization problems arise in numerous fields. This study
presents the introduction of a hybrid Polak
Ribi‘ere-Polyak(PRP)-Dai-Liao(DL) conjugate gradient(CG) method with a
modified scalar for the purpose of solving large -scaled unconstrained
optimization problems. The proposed method involves the modification of the
scalar in the PRP-DL conjugate gradient method in order to improve the
performance of the algorithm, specifically when addressing large-scale
problems. The convergence analysis of the proposed method is established and
proved under the strong Wolfe-Powell line search. Numerical results on
various test functions show that the proposed method is more efficient and
robust than several existing CG methods. Overall, the proposed method is a
new promising CG method for solving unconstrained optimization
problems.

A bankruptcy prediction is one of the main critical problems for
financial decision-makers. In this study, we aim to measure the risk of 5
Malaysian companies' financial failures through Grover's model and further
investigate the accuracy of this model in predicting bankruptcy risk.
Purposive sampling was used in this study, with five firms being chosen to
be sampled in predicting bankruptcy risk. Meanwhile, the data from 292 US
companies is used to test the accuracy of Grover's model in predicting
bankruptcy risk. The predicted results are classified into three different
zones to indicate different consequences. The predicted results were then
compared to the actual data. The result shows that 4 out of 5 companies are
predicted correctly with approximately 80% accuracy. The results are
corroborated by 292 companies maintaining a 75% accuracy. Conclusively, the
computed outcome from the case study suggests that Grover's model
effectively predicts bankruptcy risk with an accuracy ranging between 75%
and 80%.
O Acontecimento dos corpos: pensando a educação como proposição
Authors: Reichert Maiquel Cristian
Published: February 2025

O que acontece em ambientes de aprendizagem? Diante dessa questão nos colocamos em um percurso investigativo que procurou compreender o conceito de Acontecimento dos estoicos a Deleuze. Identificamos nessa ideia uma potência para entendermos as relações educacionais como campo de possibilidades. O Acontecimento para os estoicos é o incorporal que mobiliza os corpos em percursos de ser, já para Deleuze, na leitura que este faz dos estoicos, é o sentido, a proposição que mobiliza os corpos em devir. Diante desse entendimento procuramos fazer uma genealogia do conceito ao passo que poderíamos articulá-lo com os ramos da educação e das artes, os quais somos oriundos. Entendemos que o Acontecimento mobiliza o sujeito por ser sempre presentificado, atual.
Filosofar com projeto de vida: por uma vida estudantil autêntica
Authors: Pereira Joabe Tavares , Mariz Ana Paula Medeiros de
Published: February 2025

Neste artigo pretendemos investigar acerca da implementação e do lugar pedagógico do componente Projeto de Vida na grade curricular das escolas regulares paraibanas a partir do ano letivo de 2022, e principalmente, os ingredientes filosóficos os quais carregam esse componente. Faremos estreitas correlações entre o Projeto de Vida e a filosofia da Razão vital proposta pelo filósofo espanhol Ortega y Gasset. Inicialmente, nos remontamos aos aspectos gerais do componente supracitado, seus marcos legais e perspectivas. Na segunda parte, trataremos dos aspectos pedagógicos e, finalmente, pensar uma proposta para a realização deste Ensino. Para isso, contamos primariamente com a leitura de Caminhar e Construir (2020), dos autores MELLER e CAMPOS, e também da leitura de O que é filosofia? (2016b), do filósofo espanhol. Por fim, indica-se o papel fundamental do estudante quando o tema é sua própria formação. Para nossas análises, fizemos leituras analíticas e revisão bibliográfica das obras de Ortega y Gasset diretamente relacionadas à Educação em paralelo com os autores Meller e Campos e seu livro didático de Projeto de Vida: Caminhar e construir (2022), além de observações empíricas em salas de aulas na cidade de Patos-PB. Esta experiência aqui vivenciada demanda das primeiras impressões do componente Projeto de vida na grade curricular das escolas regulares paraibanas a partir de 2022. Consideramos que, resguardados os aspectos fundantes do componente, aliados aos princípios da filosofia da Razão vital, tal componente tem algo a contribuir na formação autêntica de jovens e adolescentes que frequentam nossas escolas. Contudo, se não atentarmos para esses aspectos vitais, correremos o risco de levarmos mais um penduricalho para o nosso já comprometido modelo de Ensino.
