The Spirituality Questionnaire: Core Dimensions of Spirituality

2012

Various approaches are used to assess spirituality via questionnaires, ranging from one-dimensional scales to highly multidimensional models. For the present investigation, an – in spirituality research unorthodox – factor analytic method was chosen: principal axis analysis with oblique rotation. An item collection was examinated and cross-validated via internet. The spirituality questionnaire contains four dimensions: belief in God, search for meaning, mindfulness, and feeling of security. They present with high internal consistencies. The factorial structure of the four dimensions was confirmed. Based on the better fit of this method of extraction the authors assume that these dimensions …

espanolLa entrada triunfal de Alfonso el Magnanimo en Napoles el 26 de febrero de 1443 es uno de esos momentos de la Historia que quedaron marcados para la posteridad, no solo por la importancia del hecho en si, sino por todo el despliegue de mensajes en clave simbolica que en ese acto se llegaron a emitir.

La formazione spirituale del bambino secondo Maria Montessori

2022

This paper presents a Maria Montessori’s unprecedented and little known aspect: it is her attention to the child’s spiritual education. Although for a long time her educational method was considered a positivist method, today some critics recognize in her view the presence of an educational theory of interiority that starts from an universal and cosmic perspective: in the children’s homes is created a space where the secrets of the spiritual life man’s are revealed. Education for a cosmic peace, meditative silence, social education through meditative work shared in a community way, are some practices with wich the child begins a path of spiritual education that makes him aware of his own se…

E nasciu lu Bammineddu. Testi e contesti del Natale in Sicilia

2019

Il Natale, dopo la Pasqua, è la più significativa occasione di ricostruzione e riaffermazione della comunità cristiana, momento di commemorazione dell’apertura di un tempo nuovo sul piano teologico, momento di attualizzazione, potrebbe ben dirsi di ripetizione, di un evento fondativo dei cicli del tempo e della vita sul piano del vissuto ossia delle credenze e delle prassi rituali. Il Natale cristiano, d’altronde, nel recuperare forme cerimoniali pre-cristiane, si è costituito, a livello popolare e non solo popolare, come una festa di rinascita dell’anno, come un rito inteso ad auspicare e provocare la rinascita della natura nel momento della crisi invernale. Tale profonda e densa stratific…

Norme sulla tutela dell'ambiente nelle poleis greche di età pre-ellenistica

2020

This paper offers a study of fifth- and fourth-century BC epigraphical and literary documents pertaining to what we may call ‘ancient ecology’. Even though documents are not many, there is proof of laws governing cleanness and decorum of Greek cities’ public space. From the evidence it is possible to state that city institutions intervened on this matter only in few and ‘exceptional’ cases, with the aim of preventing that some particular areas of the city, which were of primary importance for the community life, got dirty. Citizens were subject to fines, if they threw in public spaces (i.e. streets) animal and human waste, or craftwork activities’. In particular, inscriptions from Athens an…

«Tiene per altro il cappellano nella sua galera sempre dinanzi un campo grande di messe». L’assistenza religiosa nell’Ordine di Malta in un’istruzion…

2018

The article analyses unpublished instructions written by a vice-prior of the Order of St. John in the late seventeenth century. They were directed at the conventual chaplains providing religious support to knights, soldiers and crew (including slave rowers) during the naval campaigns of the Order galleys, the so-called “caravane”. On one hand the work was inspired by literature on the “Christian soldier” (whose authors were often Jesuits), on the other it brought together the spiritual care issues directly experienced by the same chaplains on board. What emerged is their lack of preparation in fully accomplishing their pastoral duties in the cramped and mixed space of the galley, where the …
