The Universal Audience: Ideological Construct or Counter-Ideological Tool? | Chapter 5 | Current Progress in Arts and Social Studies Research Vol. 4

 

This study seeks to connect Chaim Perelman’s new rhetoric with critical theory, specifically Jürgen Habermas’ ideal speech situation, to develop a more nuanced understanding of how argumentative strategies interact with power and ideology. Juxtaposing critical analysis of Perelman’s writings with Habermas’ ideal speech situation reveals that the universal audience, although conceived as a normative ideal for rational argumentation, is itself embedded in ideological contexts. The universal audience can function as a mechanism for legitimizing institutionalized power relationships and entitling individuals to exert authority. It also, however, possesses potential as a counter-ideological tool when synthesized with the ideal speech situation. This synthesis offers a more robust, although still nascent, framework for understanding the interplay between argumentation, ideology, and power.

Relevance of Humanistic Ideology from Mahabharata: An Analytical Study | Chapter 9 | Recent Research Advances in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 4

 Mahabharata is a culmination of human expertise-experience-enlightment. The epic emphasizes the fact that there is nothing superior to human being and propagates the message “service to man is service to God”. The central theme of the study focuses in-depth foundation of truth and reality of the epic Mahabharata which is essentially moral and practical in everyday life.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Labour Market Institutions | Chapter 10 | Current Topics on Business, Economics and Finance Vol. 2

 This item addresses a bilateral holding wage determination model at which point employers ascertain the level of result and employment. The warning of a strike is the primary finish of employees, when in fact employers, as owners of the trust surplus, can simply forget wage claims. The wage stretchiness of labour demand, as well as the skyline and discount rate used when manipulative strike costs and benefits, are critical in the traditional-economic model. Employers in a heretical economic model can frame their truth in either an Austrian or a neoclassical manner. Employees can frame their reality in a radical-financial or post-Keynesian manner. The frame preferred has an impact on the determinants discussed in the traditional model. Furthermore, the outcomes of the negotiations are affected by irrationality (from behavioural commerce) and immorality (from public economics/economic applied social science). A Communication Platform should be situated to organize Habermas-style capacity-free confrontations in order to make parties more rational and practically aware. In this way, organization could evenly transition from a shareholder to a shareholder society.The organizations of the different labour markets in the experience are very diverse. So are the outcomes – Northern European nations show the best results in conditions of human well-being. Institutions are considerably affected by the relative capacity of workers, employers and administration. This article shows that not only hard capacity does play a role. Also faint power factors are main in reaching social goals in conditions of efficiency, stability and lawfulness. Ideology and mentality do matter.

Spirituality in Modern Education as an Ideological Concept | Chapter 04 | Current Research in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 2

 The study looks at "spirituality" as an ideological notion in modern education, finding the ideologemes that underpin it. Acceptance criteria for ideologemes are the performance of a person's activity and its evaluation in terms of paramount values. The authors identify one of the key paths in education as the methodological component of personal spiritual revelation, changing the focus of research to hermeneutic principles in understanding spiritual experience. The basic purpose of instructional action is to employ a hermeneutic method to disclose an individual's profound inner reality.

Study on Teleological Principle of Methodology in Earth Sciences | Chapter 8 | Modern Advances in Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 6

The paper aims to resurrect the teleological dogma's traditions, which have faded from scientific study. The present became the key to the past after the notion of actualism was established. All previous geological processes and occurrences were interpreted in the same way as they are now. The underlying principle of randomness underpins modern science. The origins of the universe, life, and humans are attributed to the operation of extremely long yet completely blind forces.

Until the middle of the nineteenth century, geological and teleological surveys were combined. «The fossil is the key to the past," neptunist Cuvier believed. The past is marked by a drastic discontinuity with the present, and it may have even followed other physical laws. The fossils bear witness to this. Because modern decay processes do not allow for the fossilisation of organisms, all of the deceased remains disintegrate. Fossils may have formed following a catastrophically quick burial with complete oxygen isolation. It was impossible to say with certainty how many years had gone.

According to lawyer Lyell, the present is the key to the past. The past is comparable to the present. It spans a significant quantity of time and years. All procedures were proceeding with the same vigour as they are now, and there was no massive calamity to overshadow them. The principle of actualism was named after Lyell's remarks in science. He provided the earth sciences, as well as all of science, a paradigmatic shape, and laid the groundwork for evolutionary theory.

Modern scientific ideology is founded on the underlying dogma of randomness in both natural and historical events. This unpredictability serves no purpose and cannot serve any function. Nonetheless, it predetermines the evolutionary growth of all things, which is paradoxical.

Teleologism regains its fullness and direction with the advent of the anthropic principle. Since the entire Universe and biosphere are tuned in to human nature, earthly nature can be expected to be tuned in as well. There are chances to harmonise human and natural environments in order to improve human health. Even 50-70 years ago, nothing was known about the subtlest adjustments of the Universe for humanity, or the immense intricacy of the biosphere. Evolution and actualism could both be used to explain the universe. Religion and science are becoming closer as the world's amazing intricacy is discovered. More and more, a catastrophic and presumably anti-random picture of the planet's past is emerging. In this light, science's power is regarded not in opposition to religion, but rather in cooperation with it. Ideology's importance in modern science is discussed.

 Using Gee's [1] building tasks, this study examines Martin Luther King's speech "I Have a Dream." To be more specific, the study focuses on King's use of language to construct and deconstruct identity, relationships, and politics. These three categories are employed in an appropriate code scheme for analysis of the selected lines and paragraphs of the speech. The findings also reveal the beliefs and philosophical dogmas that underpin the discourse, which are related to freedom, equality, and civil rights.
