A Closed Book: Opacity of the Human Self in Mullā Ṣadrā
2014
Mullā Ṣadrā Shīrāzī (d. 1636) subscribes at large to the Avicennian view according to which the human subject is always and fully aware of herself. At the same time, his eschatology hinges on the Qur’ānic motive of the soul as a closed book that is first opened on the Final Day, that is, on the idea that each soul’s share in the afterlife should be understood as the full revelation of the soul’s true nature to itself. The two ideas thus have seemingly contradictory entailments: the soul is fully aware of and transparent to itself, but at the same time it has aspects that can remain opaque to it, at least in this life. The task of this paper is to investigate whether Ṣadrā can coherently hol…

Moral Conflicts as a Motor of Moral Identity Development at Work: Self-Awareness and Micro Processes in Weekly Experiences
2019
Based on the identity process model, we investigated developmental differences in moral identity between leaders by analyzing their personal experiences of and reactions to actual moral conflicts at work. Using a longitudinal (16-week) qualitative design, we collected weekly moral conflict stories from ten leaders. First, after an inductive exploratory analysis we found that the leaders showed different levels of awareness (descriptive, reflective, and evaluative) with regard to how far they were able to identify their own role, values, feelings, and behaviors in each moral conflict. Second, after a theory-driven analysis, the integrated model of the micro processes of identity development …

The Heritage of Ibn Sīnā’s Concept of the Self
2021
If the historical importance of a philosopher is measured by her influence, Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbdallāh ibn Sīnā, the Latin Avicenna (d. 1037 CE), should merit an uncontested entry in even the narrowest of canons. The development of Islamic philosophy and theology in the so-called post-classical period, that is, from the twelfth century CE down to the dawn of the postcolonial era, is unthinkable without him. By the same token, the Latin translations of a portion of his works were pivotal for the scholastic renaissance of Aristotelian philosophy in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and many Avicennian ideas, such as his modal metaphysics and its theological implications or his theor…
Henkilön käsite avaimena psykiatrian dialektiseen filosofiaan
2018
Lectio praecursoria 25.10.2017 Mitä henkilö on? Mitä psykiatria on? Dialektisessa filosofiassa nämä peruskäsitteet eivät jää annetuiksi, sellaisinaan pysyviksi, kuten eksaktit analyyttisen filosofian käsitteet usein jäävät, vaan tulevat ymmärretyiksi kuvauksina muodostumistensa prosesseissa. Dialektinen prosessi ei kuvaa vain tietämisen kohdetta (objektivistisesti), vaan asian olemista kokonaisena tiedostuksen prosessina (subjekti, objekti, tilanne, itsetiedostuksen prosessi). Henkilön perusprosessi vie yksilön ja persoonan kautta tiedostettuun henkilön käsitteeseen. Siis dialektisessa kieltämisen kieltämisen prosessissa käsitteet eivät vain ehdottomasti erotu toisistaan, vaan ne prosessiss…

Perceptual Self-Awareness in Seneca, Augustine, and Olivi
2013
This article traces the philosophical idea of self-perception from the times of ancient Stoicism to the thirteenth century by analyzing the views of Seneca, Augustine, and Olivi. The central argument is that they defend the same idea according to which self-preservation and the appropriate use of one’s body requires awareness thereof, despite the obvious contextual differences and the uncertainty of direct historical connections between the authors. They think that this kind of self-awareness does not belong only to human beings, because irrational animals need to perceive their bodies, the functions of their bodily parts, and to perceive themselves as living beings in order to act appropri…
