The paper addresses the epistemological and theoretical assumptions that underpin the concept of Work and Organizational Psychology as idiographic, situated, and transformative social science. ...Positioning the connection between uniqueness and generalization inside the debate around organization studies as applied approaches, the contribution highlights the ontological, gnoseological, and methodological implications at stake. The use of practical instead of scientific rationality is explored, through the perspective of a hermeneutic lens, underlining the main features connected to the adoption of an epistemology of practice. Specifically, the contribution depicts the configuration of the applied research as a relational practice, embedded in the unfolding process of generating knowledge dealing with concrete social contexts and particular social objects. The discussion of a case study regarding a field research project allows one to point out challenges and constraints connected to the enactment of the research process as a social accomplishment.
Recogidos en 1948, dentro de su obra cumbre sobre la extensión y limitaciones del conocimiento humano, los principios gnoseológicos que Bertrand Russell consideró como elementos fundamentales en la ...construcción del conocimiento científico, siguen hoy siendo dignos de una discusión pormenorizada. A lo largo del presente artículo dichos principios serán sometidos a un análisis ordenado desde la perspectiva de los avances científicos acaecidos desde entonces. Dada la envergadura del autor, no será sorprendente constatar que los postulados gnoseológicos de Russell siguen apuntando hacia algunas de las cuestiones más controvertidas, aun sin resolver, de la teoría del conocimiento

This article constitutes a brief introduction to Gnostic Islam, assessing the inheritance and transformations of classic Gnostic speculation in Muslim thought and practice, especially in Shi‘a ...theologies and Sufism. The survey covers both esoteric and exoteric aspects.
In article the understanding of truth is considered by representatives of the Russian religious philosophy. Is shown that content of this category for the Russian thinkers essentially differs from ...that which it has in the doctrines implanting it in a gnoseological perspective. The truth for them is an authentic reality which mastering represents comprehension of the complete nature of the world making sense of entry into Divine reality. For deepening of understanding of views of the Russian thinkers the comparative analysis of their doctrine about truth and other philosophical views considering truth as reality to which comprehension the human knowledge is directed is carried out. In this regard the attention to difference of views of domestic authors from understanding of truth is paid by Hegel for whom the truth is objectively existing general which shall become a philosophy subject. The philosophy of Heidegger who believed that the aspiration to abstract generality leads to loss by the person of itself became other line item with which views of the Russian philosophers have been contrasted. Basic line of his views in relation to which specifics of the Russian philosophy are fixed is the understanding of truth as real which «is released» in the course of knowledge, thanks to the freedom which is initially owning the person and guaranteeing it movement in the direction of «disclosure of “sense” of what we call life». For the Russian philosophers, unlike Heidegger, freedom it not initial quality of the person, the following from the nature real, and a consequence of that responsibility to God which the person assumes. On the basis of the carried-out consideration the conclusion that the understanding of truth the Russian philosophers allows to deliver important accents in idea of process of scientific knowledge becomes. In particular it orients to acceptance in attention of an image of reality as whole, created on the ways of a metaphysical reflection, and also a personal involvement and moral responsibility of the subject of knowledge.
In scientific context, the first step for scientific theoretical and methodological production is the epistemological analysis. What are assumptions for interaction between oncology and psychology? ...What are the conditions for psycho-oncological contribution in treating cancer? Furthermore, what are epistemological observations about the current developments in cancer field? And what are implications for sciences treating patients with neoplasms? Due to advances in oncology and in sciences supporting oncology, epistemological questions focus on the object of study of the integration between oncology and psychology. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe a proposal of theoretical and methodological frame suitable for current clinical and research needs in cancer patients asking for psychological support. Epistemological analysis lets the health professionals and researchers observe there are sciences using formal languages and sciences using ordinary language. Currently, personalized approach is pursued by oncology, identifying specific patients’ characteristics to define the proper treatment process: not only tumor characteristics but also behavioral and psychological features. Cancer patients features can be found in patients’ narrations about neoplasms: narration represents the core of clinical and research in psychoncology. Therefore when formalized, language provides the connection between oncology and psychology. Language used by patients and all the roles involved in the care of cancer patients can become a measure of these patients’ features. Dialogics science measuring the ordinary language allows the ordinary language formalization, pursuing a personalized medicine.
This article is dedicated to Nikolai O. Lossky's intuitivism and personalism and their significance in the context of Russian philosophy. The author demonstrates how Lossky's study of Russian ...philosophy influenced his work and allowed him to take a second look at a number of philosophical issues, indicating ways to develop them further. As a result of his research, Lossky discovered ideas close to his own in the works of various other Russian philosophers. Lossky became especially interested in two authors, Vladimir S. Solovyov and Fyodor M. Dostoevsky. He created interpretations that examined Solovyov's philosophy and Dostoevsky's works from the positions of intuitivism and personalism. The study of Russian thought Lossky undertook in his book History of Russian Philosophy gave him a strong impetus for developing his own philosophical views, which were aimed at bringing philosophy and religion into closer proximity.
