Inspiration

Introduction Prophetic inspiration is a mysterious and complex subject that has generated many discussions in Seventh-day Adventist circles over the years. Those discussions are largely due to the divine nature of inspiration and the human inability to fully grasp the supernatural inspiration process. William G. Johnsson suggests that “defining inspiration is like catching a rainbow. When we have put forth our best efforts, there will remain an elusive factor, an element of mystery.”1 But this should not prevent us from recognizing that God’s Word provides helpful knowledge of His mysterious communication process. While humbly admitting the limitations of our own reasoning, we should thoroughly study what the inspired writings actually say about themselves. In previous studies I have dealt with the historical development2 and the nature3 of inspiration from a Seventh-day Adventist perspective. This article provides some insight on the concept of divine accommodation and the cultural...

I published a data book of the animated film The Last Unicorn in Japan, furnished with several interesting materials I discovered, under the title Unacknowledged Virtue of The Last Unicorn. As I found the e-text of this book is not available from overseas, I decided to share some parts of the content.

Patriarchal order often shifts the role of great women in contemporary society. Patriarchal norms are conditions where men are placed as authority figures in a condition, this often results in discrimination against women in various aspects of life, education and even much more, the issue of patriarchal culture is no longer a common thing in this era, whose impact is very unfortunate and can have a negative impact on women. This research uses the method of literature or library research, using data collection techniques accompanied by literature sources derived from journals, books and other documents that discuss the role of great women who have degraded the dignity of women through books and other documents that often occur in today's era and ancient times, even though women have many great roles that can be considered equal by men. The results showed that in addition to the exposure of the perception of weak women is certainly not true, because the fact is that many important figures in the country are chaired or led by women, just as women are the pillars of the nation's strength. This article emphasizes the importance of understanding the equality between men and women, eliminating the patriarchal perspective in our nation, and exposing the greatness of women in inspiring future generations.

This article explores the enigma or the question of inspiration. In Historia de la nueva México, 1610, Gaspar de Villagrá includes an episode that features an encounter with Mómpil an indigenous man who sweeps the ground with his hand or his foot to make a space in which he creates a directional mandala. Approximately 372 years later Alejandro Morales reads Villagrá's poem and is struck by Mómpil and the gesture of clearing the ground. This scene and Mómpil's gesture is reminiscent of a childhood event where Delfino Morales, Morales' father, makes the same gesture to clear the ground to make a similar mandala. These three gestures and events separated by time and space are linked together to inspire Morales to create his character Rosendo who makes the same gesture for the directional mandala that appears in The Brick People (1988). Morales looks at three theories that suggest a reservoir of collective unconscious knowledge that breaks through to daily life to inspire individuals to accomplish magnificent artistic feats that connect the human experience beyond time and space. Mómpil's primordial gesture of "Y barriendo del suelo cierta parte" (And sweeping on the ground a certain space) to create a space for a mandala is part of that reservoir of collective unconscious knowledge that perpetually links Mómpil, Rosendo, Villagrá, Morales and Delfino.

Antonio Spagnuolo è la dimostrazione che nel secondo Novecento si poteva anche diventare poeti riconosciuti, conseguire premi letterari importanti e molti consensi critici senza andare a Castelporziano e a Milano poesia. Poeta molto prolifico, dimostra ancora oggi la sua bravura con liriche che coniugano contenuti, ricchezza lessicale e compiutezza formale. Supera il dannunzianesimo e l'antidannunziesimo, la retorica e l'autogogna per essere un poeta, che riesce a far coesistere privato e pubblico, dirigendo riviste e premi letterari. Ho letto oggi due sue

There are various ways to enhance the quality of education in universities as it is an essential vitamin in the diet of students’ learning. The research paper focuses particularly on student- faculty interaction which is generally a neglected aspect. The authors adopted intensive secondary research to understand and analyze the role of student-faculty interaction in enhancing the quality of education. Besides, the authors also conducted primary research for economics students for analysis. The authors found that the research in this field is rarely taken up in India by academicians and thus, there are a lot of gaps to fill. There are no large-scale studies conducted to provide evidence regarding the impact of interaction on students and how it is affected by gender, social class, and ethnicity.

The creative industries like art, fashion, crafts, animation and design to name a few are very important for the wellbeing of the economy. In this paper and demo, we present novel tools that improve the presentation, simulation, creation and marketing of outputs from the creative community. Our aim is to target this nontechnical community and improving their outputs with novel interactive tools using new multi-modal devices.

The size of crab larvae is very small, so there is no accurate and easy-to-use crab larvae counting tool at an affordable price. The low larval survival rate is due to the unknown larval stocking density, which causes cannibalism, a feed-to-larvae ratio that is out of proportion to the number of larvae needed to maintain water quality, a water supply that is out of proportion to stocking density, and is economically unfavorable in terms of cultivation, feed management, maintaining water quality, and the buying and selling process. Accurately estimating the amount of crab larvae is anticipated to boost their survival rate and make them more economically successful. This research is a continuation of previous research with the addition of different methods using adaptive gaussian filter algorithms and blob detection techniques to count crab larvae in the zoea-2, zoea-3, and zoea-4 phases where an increase in accuracy was obtained with an average of 97.67%.

Our Western culture is founded on the goddess wisdom, her wounding and healing powers and her rejection by the masculine hero who remains in terror of her mysteries of the blood, body and of death. The wounded healer is an advocate of the very goddess wisdom that the hero repudiates. Our culture thus has reached a stalemate in which the goddess has withdrawn and assumes the mask of monster, the chironic healer can never heal himself and the herculean hero can never overcome his terror of the goddess. This remains the essential configuration “backing” the historical forms of Western culture.
Our times are now signalling to us the strong likelihood of annihilation of all life! And we continue to ignore these warning signs in our everyday goings-on. Can we expect a response from the goddess to this threat of extinction of all life which is after all her domain? We no longer seem capable of receiving her response with any understanding at all, We no longer even know where to look. But if we could, what would we see? What form would the last gift of the goddess take?

Wetlands make a disproportionately large contribution to global biodiversity and provide critical ecosystem services for humanity. Yet, our understanding of the cultural ecosystem services (CES) provided by wetlands remains limited, with benefits often only recognised at local scales. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a global systematic review of wetland CES. Our synthesis addressed key questions related to the provision of CES by different types of wetlands, their economic value, their co-occurrence and associations with other ecosystem services, threats to the provision of CES by wetlands, as well as the availability and use of CES information. Based on 861 published papers (1968–2022) in 17 languages, we found evidence of CES provided by wetlands in 175 countries and territories, highlighting that wetlands are globally important for the provision of CES. Recreation/tourism was the most frequently reported CES (40 %), with cultural identity/heritage (16 %) and education/learning/knowledge (13 %) also well-represented. In contrast, examples of sense of place (4 %) and bequest (4 %) were least frequent. Our synthesis of published estimates yielded a mean of £57262 ha−1 yr−1 for the cultural benefits of wetlands; however, this mean should be interpreted with caution given that we documented a very wide range of estimates for each CES type of <£1–£1065205 ha−1 yr−1. Threats to wetland CES were documented in 45 % of papers, and included wetland destruction, pollution, and climate change. The probability that a CES paper would be available open access, and the probability that a published paper featured at least one author affiliated with the country where the study was conducted, both varied significantly among continents and publication years. Conservation outcomes related to CES featured in 13 % of papers, whilst 10 % made policy/management recommendations. Our study highlights the links between wetlands and human culture, emphasising their importance in motivating future wetland creation and restoration.

This article revisited the foundation of why biblical languages are important in the theological and biblical education of the Seventh-day Adventist Church-operated colleges, universities and seminaries belting the world. It unveiled the reasons why the study of biblical Hebrew and Greek are included in the theological curriculum as essential components of a rounded preparation of the pastor in handling the word of God. It was the intention of the author to review the scriptural and historical reflections of biblical scholars in the playing field of theological studies that includes hermeneutics, homiletics, exegesis, and biblical criticism. Biblical languages, as a field of discipline, promote a balance approach to the context of inspiration in the incarnational model revelation. The word of God in the language of man is a paradoxical truth that calls for understanding the role of biblical languages in God's revelation of Himself and His will to finite mortal beings. This article challenged all who handle the interpretation and proclamation of the Bible and its contents to consider it as a holy ground in the exploration of the human mind as the reader wrestles with the reality of God's transcendence and immanence.

Based on the strategic plan of the Ministry of Agriculture for 2015-2019, development in the agricultural sector will refer to the Agriculture for Development Paradigm which positions the agricultural sector as a driver of balanced and comprehensive development transformation including demographic, economic, intersectoral, spatial, institutional and development governance. With such great potential, the Pasuruan Regency Food and Agriculture Security Service has problems in the availability of human resources in quantity, especially agricultural instructors. For this reason, there is a need for a system that can optimize existing human resources. The system development method used is the waterfall method, the waterfall method is a method that works sequentially, the development of the agricultural extension schedule management system has been going well. So that it can help the work management process of agricultural instructors in distributing agricultural extension at the village level. This agricultural extension schedule management system is implemented using a MySQL database and the PHP programming language. This system is easy to use so it helps related parties in schedule management and recording extension activities.

Med dannelsen af professionshøjskolerne blev der formuleret nye krav om deres vidensproduktion. Professionshøjskolerne skulle selv producere praksisnaer og anvendelsesorienteret forskning og udvikling. Viden skulle cirkulere i et kredsløb mellem tre områder: forskning, uddannelse og praksis. Evalueringer og undersøgelser har imidlertid vist, at forsknings-og udviklingsbegrebet ikke er entydigt defineret: Det bliver artikuleret forskelligt i en raekke vidensdiskurser. Der hersker således uklarhed om karakteren af professionshøjskolernes forskningsindsats. På baggrund af fire forsknings-og udviklingsprojekter, identificerer artiklen forskellige diskursive positioner, der indtages af forskere på professionshøjskolerne. Projekterne er initieret i samspil mellem et professionsbehov, en intern videnskabelig/akademisk interesse og et uddannelsesbehov, og viden produceres på baggrund af forskellige rationaler. Dette giver mulighed for etablering af forskellige relationer mellem forskning, uddannelse og praksis. Projekternes diskursive positioner fremanalyseres, og afslutningsvis diskuteres, hvordan disse knytter an til og udfordrer dominerende vidensdiskurser på området. Faelles for projekterne er en staerk orientering mod professionspraksis-behov, men svagere fokus på forsknings-uddannelses-relationen.

The efficiency aspect of the housing security sector is the main consideration in creating information technology in a CCTV security development, because so far CCTV has not guaranteed maximum housing security, because CCTV can only record not analyze. This makes CCTV only a recording device for the point of occurrence, so this activity is less effective considering CCTV cannot analyze the face of a person who has committed a DPO action. So on that basis, researchers are developing existing technologies with facial recognition systems using the face recognition method for housing security. This method works by detecting a person's facial features. The face recognition apps provide information to the authorities by notifying the notification on the user's smartphone (security guard). So face recognition apps have been applied to the Green Cakra Housing, to help security guards monitor the entrance and exit of guests in the housing. This system can recognize the face of DPOs by obtaining a percentage of the assessment as much as agreeing that the application is effective enough.

In our globalized environment, and particularly in the context of industrial design activities in international companies or research institutions, it is increasingly frequent to take part in diverse scenarios involving at least two different cultural contexts. Therefore, it becomes an essential point during the initiation of the design process to achieve an optimal transmission of design information in order to increase the added value of the project through the implementation of accurate cultural layers. However, issues pertaining to communication may arise throughout the process if there is an inadequacy in cultural understanding. Hence, it is crucial to address the significance of cross-cultural tools to be used in communication of the design information in its initial phase. Two case studies are referred to openly discuss the matter. Both cases correspond to research projects that were conducted at the Kansei Design division, Toyota Motor Europe (KD-TME). Both projects generate...

This article presents a kansei design methodology. It is placed at the very beginning of the design process and aims to influence the following steps in order to improve the user’s understanding and experiencing of the designed product. The experimentation combines in a subtle way the design thinking approach of learning by doing and the kansei engineering quantitative approach. The research presented is based on the results of a previous study that defined the semantic and emotional scope of future hybrid cars for European using visual stimuli. Building on this scope this kansei design methodology creates and assesses multisensory atmospheres is order to provide tangible direction composed of vision, touch, hearing and smell stimuli. From the cognitive and affective responses of the 42 participants we were able to detail 3 directions for future cars interiors that aim to enrich the styling design briefs and to influence the design strategies such as the management of the different ...

This paper, part of a PhD research, focuses on ways to improve new concept development (NCD) activities. This research is done in collaboration with the Kansei Design (KD) division of Toyota Motor Europe (TME), a team composed of designers and engineers bringing a particular dynamism to research and development activities. The paper presents a new platform for NCD aiming to assist the flow of ideas for the creation of user experience. It integrates kansei methodologies as well as more classical design-thinking approaches and uses as basis the analysis of 13 past NCD projects. The kansei approach to design pays particular attention to the different senses involved in the user experience as well as values, emotions and symbols perceived and felt. Kansei-based tools have a large scope. They can be used to provide design-guidelines but also at the creation and evaluation phases. They have also revealed themselves complementary to other approaches and in that way improve the quantity and...

In this paper the authors will investigate early experience-centred design activities. Twenty-seven past industrial design projects were analysed. Information was gathered from interviews with former project team members and from an analysis of the projects&#39; final reports. All of the projects involved the Toyota Motor Europe - Kansei Design (TME-KD) division. Three types of projects were identified: &quot;exploratory concept,&quot; &quot;product lining strategy,&quot; and &quot;pre-development direction.&quot; The analysis will show that these project groups not only each have a specific context (purpose, design team members, audience) but that their outputs are also different regarding the type of design information they convey. This will lead to a comparison of the different typologies of projects and a discussion about the kansei-related design information exchange in early design stages. A model of kansei-related design information based on these discussions will be presented.

Concept majeur de la théorie de l’art du XVIe au XIXe siècle, au croisement de l’éthique et de l’esthétique, la grâce semble avoir perdu de son aura au cours du XXe siècle et être absente aujourd’hui des débats intellectuels sur l’art. Nous proposons au contraire de montrer que la grâce reste un concept opératoire pour penser la création artistique, qu’il s’agisse d’arts visuels, d’arts du spectacle, de musique, de cinéma ou de littérature. Comprise autrefois comme une forme d’inspiration, un don, la grâce réapparaît chez les artistes qui décrivent leur œuvre se faisant elle-même. Associée longtemps à la désinvolture, définie comme un art de cacher l’art, elle se manifeste chez les artistes dandys qui donnent l’impression de se méfier de l’effort. Liberté dans les règles, elle peut être évoquée par les artistes à protocole, tel John Cage, qui en faisait, avec la clarté, l’un des deux piliers de l’esthétique de la danse moderne. Pensée dans un registre spirituel, on la retrouve chez les artistes qui se défient d’un monde devenu grotesque et cherchent une certaine innocence. Légère et fluide comme l’air, elle traverse les théories du flow devenues à la mode dans les domaines de l’art, de la psychologie ou du développement personnel. Insaisissable, la grâce se cache peut-être aujourd’hui sous d’autres noms. Ce numéro se propose d’explorer les différentes manifestations de la grâce contemporaine.

This study represents the furniture design course outputs of a group of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Bachelor’s Degree students, working on biologically inspired designs. The aim of the study is to put forward an alternative inspiration-transformation-design process by briefly touching the notion of biomimicry; and by this means to raise the awareness of biological inspiration sources in furniture design. Study reveals the conceptual and final product design suggestions of 38 senior class students. Two essential processes were followed in the study; solution-driven design process and problem-driven design process. Findings showed that there have been some common features and differences between these two processes, in terms of finding the starting point and approaching the final design decisions. In both processes, it was seen that the last steps -principle application- involved a particular process, compared to the other steps in each process. Research and analysi...

Alle die in "Philosophie und Enthusiasmus" bislang erläuterten Debatten um Leidenschaft, Besonnenheit und ihr Verhältnis zur Philosophie sind in Platons "Phaidros" bereits mitangelegt. Das sechste und letzte Kapitel setzt sich daher ausschließlich mit diesem Text auseinander, der sich gegen die Nüchternheit des berechnenden Sophisten richtet und den erotischen Enthusiasmus als den wahren Seinszustand des Philosophierens hymnisch feiert. Die Besonnenheit besteht im "Phaidros" nicht darin, seine eigenen Gefühle unter perfekte Kontrolle zu bringen, sondern sich einer entgrenzenden Hingabe überlassen zu können, die den Horizont des Denkens und Fühlens wie keine andere Erfahrung erweitert. Platons Verständnis von Philosophie lässt sich auf der Grundlage seines „erotischen Denkens“ damit geradezu als Schule des Begehrens bezeichnen.

Voting is the most important part of choosing leaders in an organization or institution, especially for those of us who use a democratic system. The election of organizational leaders in Darunnajah is still carried out conventionally, elections still use paper to select organizational leaders which is carried out by recording and counting the name or picture of one of the candidates. Creating the Darunnajah Vote System in the form of a web application for the election of organizational leaders in the Darunnajah environment can speed up the voting process. The web application is built using PHP and MySQL with features of user management, class management, candidate management, and E-Voting. This study aims to build an e-voting system that is expected to provide voting results quickly, and accurately and can be monitored in real-time during the implementation of the leader election. This system development method uses a web application-based SDLC Waterfall model. Testing using the black box method, every feature contained in the Darunnajah Vote System application, namely the Admin Login feature, User Login, User Voting, and User Data Processing features runs normally and functions properly.

To run a software development project, an effective and efficient project management mechanism is needed to coordinate the activities carried out. The agile method was developed because there are several weaknesses in the classic method that can interfere with the course of the software development process according to user desires. However, in applying agile methods, time effort estimation cannot be done properly. This can cause project managers to have difficulty preparing resources in software development in scrum projects. For this reason, this research aims to predict the time effort of agile software development using Machine Learning techniques, namely the Decision Tree, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and AdaBoost algorithms, as well as the use of feature selection in the form of RRelieff and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to improve prediction accuracy. The best-performing algorithm uses Gradient Boosting k-fold validation with PCA with an MSE value of 2.895, RMSE 1.701, MAE 0.898, and R2 0.951.

This research aims to improve the software quality and effectiveness of zakat management by the National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) through the development of a software defect prediction model (SDPM). We used machine learning techniques and ensemble stacking approach on the "Masjid Tower" dataset containing 228 records and 34 attributes. The preprocessing process involved label encoding, feature selection with Pearson correlation, standard normalization, and the use of SMOTE to handle data imbalance. We performed hyperparameter tuning with grid search CV on Machine Learning algorithms such as Ada Boost and Gradient Boosting. The results showed that the ensemble stacking approach with a combination of Gradient Boosting, Ada Boost, Decision Tree, Bayesian Ridge, and LightGBM meta learner algorithms provided high accuracy with R2 score reaching 0.97, MAE of 0.037, and MSE of 0.006. This finding proves that the ensemble stacking approach is able to overcome the problem of software defects with accurate prediction results, provide useful guidance in the management of zakat and other software applications, and has the potential to improve software quality and the effectiveness of BAZNAS in managing zakat.

The large-scale art exhibition entitled Japanomania in the North 1875-1918: The Influence of Japan on Nordic Art and Design is touring three Nordic countries during 2016 and 2017. 1 The exhibition focuses on Nordic Japonisme, that is, how Nordic art and design was influenced by Japanese art. The title indicates that the Nordic countries were under the spell of a craze about things Japanese in the last part of the 19 th century and the first decades of the 20 th century. Acknowledging the multiple artistic influences from a number of various sources in this period, the exhibition curators nevertheless argue that no other revivalist style or outside influence has contributed to the formation of European visual arts in the nineteenth century as much as the impact of Japonisme.

Ogni cosa nello Yorkshire occidentale è leggermente sgradevole. Nulla evade mai nella felicità. La gente non è abbastanza distaccata dalla pietra, quasi che fosse nata solo a metà, ancora nella terra; e le tombe sono troppo vicine alla superficie. .. La spaccatura tra anima e corpo per me cominciò lì. 1 Non c'è dubbio che per Hughes valga, forse più di qualsiasi altro poeta, la considerazione che le prime impressioni, quelle legate all'infanzia e al proprio luogo di origine, condizionano ogni sviluppo futuro. Nato nella regione delle sorelle Brontë, che vissero a poche miglia di distanza, nello Yorkshire ventoso e brullo di Wuthering Heights, il giovane Hughes ne infatti assimilò tutta l'asprezza, divenendo ben presto conscio delle peculiarità storiche, etniche e culturali della sua terra: nella Calder Valley sono infatti rintracciabili le vestigia dell'ultimo regno celtico ad arrendersi agli Angli, quello di Elmet, rievocato in Remains of Elmet 2 ; John Wesley iniziò la sua predicazione rurale proprio in quella regione, nel passato considerata inabitabile a causa del clima e dell'improduttività del suolo, e poi divenuta quasi ironicamente culla della Rivoluzione Industriale. Proprio uno degli ultimi libri di Hughes, Remains Of Elmet, ripropone con potenza il legame sotterraneo del poeta inglese con la sua terra. Keith Sagar sottolinea l'elemento celtico nella formazione culturale di Ted Hughes, allacciandolo strettamente al senso quasi religioso, e certamente mistico, della natura e del luogo, in cui si manifesta quello spirito vitale che Garcia Lorca definì "duende": La geografia del mondo della sua infanzia divenne la mappa del paradiso e dell'inferno; il caratteristico rapporto degli elementi di quel luogo gli diedero il senso delle potenze creatrici e distruttrici del mondo. Gli animali del luogo divennero i suo archetipi teriomorfi. 3

Pastor Gerard Damsteegt's book is a work that offers us a deep reflection on some of the fundamental aspects of the prophetic gift as manifested in the person of Ellen White. The author analyzes the themes of the inspiration of the Scriptures, the Christian lifestyle, the interpretation of the Bible, and the place of Adventist theologians in their relationship with the use of the Testimonies.

Wojtka wszędzie było pełno i wszędzie było go słychać. Był oczytany i osłuchany, więc miał o czym opowiadać i lubił to robić. niezwyczajne emocje wywoływały konkursy, przy których czasem, w drodze wyróżnienia, pracowaliśmy po nocach jako pomocnicy w zespołach naszych profesorów. Była to okazja do nawiązania z nimi bliższego kontaktu. Podobnie było w czasie praktyk. ich organizacja zapewne przeraziłaby dzisiejszą administrację uczelni z powodu braku preliminarza kosztów, umów przedwstępnych, harmonogramu, zapotrzebowania na materiały i zgody na wykorzystanie środków transportu. o RoDo też nikomu się wtedy nie śniło. Profesor Ciołek na przykład umawiał się z nami przed budynkiem, po czym wychodził na ulicę Warszawską i łapał ciężarówki jadące w interesującym nas kierunku, a jak złapał, ładował się do szoferki-a my na pakę. Jeździliśmy okazjami, spaliśmy po chałupach albo na sianie, jadaliśmy i pijaliśmy to, co udało się kupić w wiejskich GS-ach albo u litościwych gospodarzy. Tylko jeden z kolegów żył jak król, dzięki obietnicy ożenku z córką gospodarza, ale to nie był Wojtek. natomiast poligony wojskowe to była zupełnie inna bajka, tam wszystkie sorty mundurowe były ponumerowane, opieczętowane i wydawane za pokwitowaniem, chyba że ktoś miał numer stopy 46, to wtedy miał pozwolenie na służbę we własnych sandałach. Mimo ofiarności dowódców-zwłaszcza majora kukawki-nie byliśmy w stanie zorientować się, o co w tym wszystkim chodzipoza tym, że jesteśmy w kompanii saperów, a z tym nie było żartów. Gdy przyszedł czas wyboru promotorów, Wojtek zafascynowany osobowością profesora Gruszczyńskiego i jego ekipy poszedł do "Gruchy" i zaraz po obronie został jego asystentem. To był dla Wojtka trudny czas-zmarł mu ojciec. il. 3. Profesor Gruszczyński ze swoim dyplomantem Wojtkiem już po dyplomie w roku 1967, fot. z archiwum rodziny kosińskich Andrzej Wyżykowski prof. dr hab. inż. arch. emerytowany profesor Politechniki krakowskiej Moje spotkania z Wojtkiem My encounters with Wojtek Miasto: Poznań Jest rok 1986. Bierzemy udział w konkursie zamkniętym SARP na koncepcję planu szczegółowego zagospodarowania przestrzennego dzielnicy mieszkaniowej Strzeszyn w Poznaniu 1. W pracowni, wówczas jeszcze doktora architekta, Wojciecha kosińskiego rozpoczęliśmy dyskusję nad wizją współczesnego miasta. Duży zakres terytorialny konkursu pozwolił na podjęcie próby interpretacji wybranych historycznych układów urbanistycznych i przedłożenie propozycji projektowej. Jak się pracowało z Wojtkiem? Bardzo dobrze, wiedziałem, że będzie świetnym partnerem w dyskusji, często popartej szybkimi szkicami. Potrafił ustąpić, zgodzić się z kontrpropozycjami, ale też poszukiwał potwierdzenia swoich słusznych przemyśleń. Będąc spod znaku Wagi, łatwo mi było adaptować się do nowych pomysłów czy idei i przyznać rację partnerowi. Miło wspominam to doświadczenie. Architektura: IBA Berlin Jest rok 1984. Jesteśmy z Wojtkiem w Aarhus w Danii, prowadząc międzynarodowe warsztaty studenckie EASA 2. Budujemy makiety, szkicujemy, zwiedzamy. Wojtek, mól książkowy, przegląda książki o architekturze w studenckiej czytelni. Znalazł jakąś nowość i natychmiast całą jej zawartość skserował. Ten grzech można mu wybaczyć, bowiem w tych czasach mówiło się, że najbliższa księgarnia z profesjonalną literaturą

Mitten im Zeitalter der Aufklärung ergreift ausgerechnet ein Schüler von John Locke Partei für den Enthusiasmus und die philosophische Relevanz der Gefühle. Lord Shaftesbury entwickelt eine Theorie philosophischer Leidenschaft, die in der Besonnenheit gerade nicht deren unversöhnlichen Gegensatz sieht. Das fünfte Kapitel von "Philosophie und Enthusiasmus" handelt davon, wie Shaftesbury diese althergebrachte Dichotomie in seinem Werk "The Moralists" in bewusster Abwendung von seinen Zeitgenossen anhand der Figur des „besonnenen Enthusiasten“ überwindet. In ihr sind die einstigen Gegensätze glücklich vereint; zugleich gibt sie ein Musterbeispiel ab für eine freudvolle und weltzugewandte Art des Philosophierens.
