Pouk klasične kulture in književnosti je prostor, kjer dijaki poleg splošnega znanja in razgledanosti pridobivajo tudi sposobnosti ču­denja, avtorefleksije, samokritičnosti in strpnosti. Proces ni nikoli zaključen, to za raziskovanje samega sebe velja že iz antičnih časov; kot bi rekel Kavafis, je včasih pomembna zlasti pot. Dijake po gimnaziji čaka še dolgo zorenje v »umetnosti življenja«, učiteljska prizadevanja ne obrodijo vedno takojšnjih sadov, morda občasno naletimo tudi na gluha ušesa. Važno je, da ne ustvarjamo fiktivnega prepada med snovjo in življenjem; tega (...) se nenazadnje dijaki učijo celo preko ra­zvozlavanja jezikovnih ugank zapletenih latinskih ali grških stavkov. Pouk klasičnih jezikov je skozi generacije izkazal in potrdil svojo vzgojno-izobraževalno vrednost. Novi časi vsekakor zahtevajo sveže učne pristope, ne pa nujno novih vsebin, saj človek išče odgovore na ista temeljna bivanjska vprašanja, kot jih je iskal v antiki. (shrink)

Proposition I--Every event has determinate characters in terms of which it can be described; it is thus the substantial correlate of at least one proposition having the form "This is an X.".

In setting out our account of the concrete individual, we shall try to satisfy these three demands, noting first of all the nature of the principle, of the doctrines taken as established, and of the common-sense beliefs which must be justified.

Recent arguments claim that behavioral science has focused – to its detriment – on the individual over the system when construing behavioral interventions. In this commentary, we argue that tackling economic inequality using both framings in tandem is invaluable. By studying individuals who have overcome inequality, “positive deviants,” and the system limitations they navigate, we offer potentially greater policy solutions.

In Ukraine, historically, there have been various religions, both national religions of peoples and world. In the Ukrainian territory, such a striking phenomenon of the Jewish religious tradition as Hasidism is emerging. This stage of Hasidism is conventionally called the second to separate it from German Hasidism of the Middle Ages. Ukrainian-Polish Hasidism gave birth to its numerous directions. Among them there is good Hasidism, as well as Uman, Chernobyl, Karlin-Stolin directions. Chabad, in its modern form with the adoration (...) of the lover's rebbe, originated in the teachings of Schneur Zalman, who brought Hasidism as close as possible to the traditional tenets of Judaism and insisted on an intellectual service to God, restraining excessive religious emotionality. The Ukrainian roots of Hasidism in general and Chabad in particular, as well as the Ukrainian origin of the Seventh Lubavitch Rebbe, contribute to the return of this movement to the territory of Ukraine after the atheistic period of the Soviet Union.
