Paul Ricoeur's understanding of philosophical hermeneutics offers a valuable tool to think about the meaning of life. By approaching philosophy as a way of living through the need for meaning, ...Ricoeur places his hermeneutics between two common directions in twentieth-century philosophy as a way of living, Sartrean humanism and Foucauldian antihumanism. As such, Ricoeur's narrative conception of the self can contribute to rethinking a conception of existential health and spiritual care.
In Plato's Republic (428/427-348/347 BC) the concept of justice is a fundamental premise for forming a political leader, for a human being to be guided by virtue, for society to be organized in ...harmony, to reach the public happiness in the polis, for a humanistic education. Understanding the idea of justice also involves understanding the famous expression "know thyself" in its ontological basis. Thus, the aim of this article is to study justice in Plato's thought, starting from the ontological jusnaturalist foundation that characterizes his Republic, relating justice to the idea of good and ontic paideia. This article is part of the line of research on constitutionalism and the production of law, based on Plato's political philosophy. It is noteworthy that a ruler, for Plato, does not find the height of his studies in the idea of justice, there is a higher study that he must still carry out, which is the idea of Good. The idea of the Good is the highest of the sciences, it is linked to metaphysics/ontology, so that justice, wisdom, courage, temperance only become useful and valuable because of the idea of the Good. The foundation of the Republic, therefore, depends of ontological knowledge on the part of the leaders, who can thus organize a polis based on the idea of the Good, in order to, from there, become capable of realizing what justice is, both justice in the polis and justice in the individual. The method for the construction of the ideas of this academic product is the inductive one, with the data collected from the bibliographical research, being the main theoretical reference the work The Republic of Plato. KEYWORDS: Ontological jusnaturalism; Republic; Justice; Good. Na obra A Republica de Platao (428/427-348/347 a.C.) o conceito de justica e premissa fundamental para se formar um lider politico, para que um ser humano se oriente pela virtude, para que a sociedade seja organizada em harmonia, para se alcancar a finalidade de felicidade publica na polis, para uma educacao humanista. A compreensao da ideia da justica envolve tambem entender a celebre expressao "conhece-te a ti mesmo" em sua base ontologica. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo e estudar a justica no pensamento de Platao, partindo do fundamento jusnaturalista ontologico que caracteriza a sua Republica, relacionando a justica com a ideia de bem e a paideia ontica. Este artigo se insere na linha de pesquisa de constitucionalismo e producao do direito, partindo da filosofia politica de Platao. Vale destacar que um governante, para Platao, nao encontra o apogeu dos seus estudos na ideia de justica, ha um estudo superior que ele deve ainda realizar, que e o da ideia do Bem. A ideia do Bem e a mais elevada das ciencias, esta ligada a metafisica/ontologia, de modo que a justica, sabedoria, coragem, temperanca somente se tornam uteis e valiosas em razao da ideia do Bem. A fundacao da Republica, portanto, depende do saber ontologico por parte das liderancas, que podem assim organizar uma polis calcada na ideia do Bem, para a partir dai se capacitarem a realizacao do que e a justica, tanto a justica na polis quanto a justica no individuo. O metodo para a construcao das ideias deste produto academico e o indutivo, sendo os dados recolhidos a partir da pesquisa bibliografica, sendo o principal referente teorico a obra A Republica de Platao.

This volume is the first attempt to assess the impact of both humanism and Protestantism on the education offered to a wide range of adolescents in the hundreds of grammar schools operating in ...England between the Reformation and the Enlightenment. By placing that education in the context of Lutheran, Calvinist and Jesuit education abroad, it offers an overview of the uses to which Latin and Greek were put in English schools, and identifies the strategies devised by clergy and laity in England for coping with the tensions between classical studies and Protestant doctrine. It also offers a reassessment of the role of the 'godly' in English education, and demonstrates the many ways in which a classical education came to be combined with close support for the English Crown and established church.
One of the major sources used is the school textbooks which were incorporated into the 'English Stock' set up by leading members of the Stationers' Company of London and reproduced in hundreds of thousands of copies during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Although the core of classical education remained essentially the same for two centuries, there was a growing gulf between the methods by which classics were taught in elite institutions such as Winchester and Westminster and in the many town and country grammar schools in which translations or bilingual versions of many classical texts were given to weaker students.
The success of these new translations probably encouraged editors and publishers to offer those adults who had received little or no classical education new versions of works by Aesop, Cicero, Ovid, Virgil, Seneca and Caesar. This fascination with ancient Greece and Rome left its mark not only on the lifestyle and literary tastes of the educated elite, but also reinforced the strongly moralistic outlook of many of the English laity who equated virtue and good works with pleasing God and meriting salvation.

This fascinating cultural and intellectual history focuses on education as practiced by the imperial age Romans, looking at what they considered the value of education and its effect on children. W. ...Martin Bloomer details the processes, exercises, claims, and contexts of liberal education from the late first century BCE to the third century CE—the epoch of rhetorical education. He examines the adaptation of Greek institutions, methods, and texts by the Romans, and traces the Romans’ own history of education. Bloomer argues that while Rome’s enduring educational legacy includes the seven liberal arts and a canon of school texts, its practice of competitive displays of reading, writing, and reciting were intended to instill in the young social as well as intellectual ideas.
Meta-analytic research has suggested that, although there are two forms of power that can be problematic in a psychotherapy context, they are rarely considered in interaction. One form, cultural ...power, influences the ways clients, therapists, and systems interact in relation to social identities, communities, and ascribed cultural statuses, and the other, professional power, is held by therapists by virtue of their training and the authority ascribed to them. Both forms may limit clients' ability to be empowered in therapy. As many feminist multicultural researchers and task forces have thoughtfully explicated strategies for responding to cultural power, this paper focuses predominantly on processes for addressing professional power, which have been less well explicated. Although there is a rich body of humanistic therapy literature on maximizing clients' agency, these core processes have rarely been framed in relation to concepts of power. This reframing contributes to prior work by feminist multicultural-humanistic therapy (FMHT) scholars by examining central humanistic principles to identify specific strategies that attenuate the misuse of this form of power. For instance, therapists teach clients to symbolize inchoate experiences (often resulting from cultural or interpersonal oppression eroding trust in oneself or one's community), to confidently self-reference (developing resistance to stigma), and to maximize their agency within the change process (empowering them to guide their own development). Integrating these humanistic therapy principles into FMHT enhances ethical practice and holds relevance across therapies, supporting therapists' competence, clients' agency, and a multidimensional understanding of power in therapy.
Public Significance StatementThis paper presents the argument that humanistic relational principles and practices augment feminist multicultural psychotherapy when considering how power functions in psychotherapy and reconceptualizes humanistic practices in these terms. Deliberate therapist education in the theories and skills of both approaches is recommended as the foundation for all psychotherapy practice.
The Story of Prophet Yusuf in the Quran is the only story that is presented in a single surah with a complete narrative. The spiritual, leadership, and integrity traits of Prophet Yusuf serve as ...exemplarycharacteristics that educate the interlocutors.This qualitative descriptive research, utilizing literary psychology theory, aimed to analyze the motivations of Prophet Yusuf based on Abraham H. Maslow's theory of needs. The primary data for this articlewas derived from Surah Yusuf in the Quran. The analysis technique employed was interactive, involving data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions/verification. The result of this research found that in the story of Yusufthere were five motivation needs, namely: safety, physiological, social, esteem, and self-actualization needs. All of the motivation needs of Yusuf were fulfilled properly so he could have a good humanistic personality that benefited him and the others around him also the others were far from him. This research had implications for character transformation among the interlocutors based on the exemplary behaviour of Prophet Yusuf in fulfilling their needs, as proposed by Abraham Maslow.
