Pensare con gusto
2021
The greatest challenge for a human being lies in being able to understand, and indeed welcome, one’s own limits as an essential ingredient that determines, qualifies, and ultimately enriches the very tendency to overcome them. Any gesture that, in whatever way, aims to elevate us from our finite condition will be all the more successful in its intent the deeper that condition is imprinted in it.

Between "full moon and summer solstice". The quest for transcendence in the poety of Andrzej Busza
2019
The article is an attempt to describe the poet’s vision of human destiny, history and transcendence. Analysing poems from two poetry volumes I endeavour to present Busza’s philosophy. The poet notes and appreciates science and scientifi c achievements as well as civilisational development, although he realises that they may be dangerous for human spirituality and potentially lead to catastrophe.

Il mito smussato: Gli abbracci spezzati di Almodovar
2016
Almodóvar's Los abrazos rotos explores the possibilities of cinema to represent the holy contents of the myth. According to two modes of its expression (reflection and the unseen), we can see the implementation of a blunt myth. The myth is attenuated in its produced or spectacular content, with a focus on the symbol and on minesis. The myth reveals but it does not exhibit itself. It seems that the transcendent could be represented using the irony of those who proves the innuendo. The myth is given through the blindness which denies mimesis and shows its more peculiar contents in a blunted way.
“Never Some Easy Flashback”
2012
Abstract This paper provides a close reading of Paul Farley’s 160-line poem, “Thorns.” The poem is read in dialogue with William Wordsworth’s celebrated Romantic ballad “The Thorn.” Special attention is given to Farley’s treatment of memory and metaphor: It is shown how the first, exploratory part of the poem elaborates upon the interdependent nature of memory and metaphor, while the second part uses a more regulated form of imagery in its evocation of a generational memory linked to a particular place and time (the working-class Liverpool of the 1960s and 1970s). The tension between the two parts of the poem is reflected in the taut relationship between the poet and a confrontational alter…
Laika uztveres saistība ar apmierinātību ar dzīvi un sociālām aktivitātēm vecumdienās
2015
Maģistra darba mērķis bija noskaidrot laika uztveri vecumdienās un tās saistību ar apmierinātību ar dzīvi, attiecībām un sociālām aktivitātēm. Pētījumā piedalījās 123 respondenti vecumā no 65 līdz 92 gadiem (16 vīrieši), aizpildot aptaujas par Līdzsvarotu laika perspektīvu, Kosmisko transcendenci, Dzīves jēgas izpratni, Sociālo atbalstu, Apmierinātību ar dzīvi un Attiecībām. Pētījums apstiprināja pieņēmumu, ka vecumdienās pagātnes laika perspektīvas nozīmīgums pieaug, bet nākotnes loma sarūk. Līdzsvarota laika perspektīva pozitīvi saistīta ar transcendenci un dzīves saskaņotības izjūtu. Apmierinātība ar dzīvi saistīta ar biežāku piedalīšanos sabiedriskās aktivitātēs, apmierinātību ar attiec…

Bakalaura darbā tiek analizēta cilvēka transcendences izpratne M. Šēlera filozofiskajā antropoloģijā un K. Rānera kristīgajā antropoloģijā. Darba gaitā parādīts atšķirīgais un kopīgais šo domātāju pieejā cilvēkam: viņu cilvēka tematizācijas fons un ietekmes, jautājuma par cilvēku uzdošanas konteksts, kā arī jautājuma par cilvēku saskares punkti.
<i>The Machine in the Garden</i> in the 21st Century
2017
In this essay I will suggest Leo Marx’s debt to a style of thinking about technology which cuts against the grain of the liberal humanism and liberal progressive ideology that informs his writing. This style of thinking, associated with the word technicity, underscores the intimacy of our relation to technology. The Machine in the Garden insists that technology is a crucial aspect of our human nature—it encourages us to see that nature is inseparable from our technological condition. In this sense, the machine and the garden are confounded in Marx’s book. The book’s key themes and conflicts short-circuit the mission to promote the liberal individualist illusion of escape from the shaping fo…
Religiosity and social support in Polish older adults: the mediating role of wisdom. Perspectives on Lars Tornstam’s theory of gerotranscendence
2021
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine whether wisdom is a mediator in the relation-ships between religious meaning system and social support among older adults. According to the theory of gerotranscendence, associations of religiousness and social support are complex and sug- gest the existence of wisdom in their internal structures. Method: The study included 466 persons aged 50–75. Three measures were used: Religious Meaning System Scale (RMSS), Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale (3D-WS) and Berlin Social Support Scales (BSSS). Results: The analyses allowed for a partial verification of the hypothesis that wisdom is a mediator in the relationship between the religious meaning s…
