Get PDFThe urgency of the problem under investigation is conditioned by the need to study religious philosophy as a school of thought, without which it is impossible to develop a humanistic worldview in the global world. The purpose of the study is to contribute to the further development of the international academic community that can stimulate the critical transition to global governance in the world of the humanistic, progressive interests of the majority of people with the help of the best achievements of Islamic science. The authors use the axiological approach to the study of the subtlest links between religion, philosophy, science, as well as art, where the basis of the interrelashionship are the sacral texts of al-Quran and Sunnah, reflected through the ideas of Sufism. According to al-Ghazali, "The criterion of true Sufism is the absence of contradictions with the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad”. The most important results of the study include the solution of the problem of meaning and contexts of definitions of Sufism; the problem of spiritual knowledge and ethics in Sufism; the connection of Sufism and science through the problem of information; the place of Sufism in the context of world culture

DECLARED INCOMES OF HEADS OF REGIONS AND INDICATORS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF CONSTITUENT ENTITIES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN THE VOLGA FEDERAL DISTRICT
Get PDFThe article explores the relationship between the dynamics and spatial distribution of income of the heads of regions in the Volga Federal District and such indicators as the great regional product, per capita income, average wages, and the rating and political status of the respective regions. Research for the article is consistent with the current approach to studies of political elites and the problems of income stratification in population. In any region the local elite is personified by its head, which corresponds to perception of an average local citizen. The sources of data for the article are Declarations of Income and Assets of the heads of regions and the members of their families, which are published on the official websites of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in accordance with the requirements of Federal Law No. 273-FZ of 25.12.2008 "On Corruption Counteraction". The regional socio-economic indicators used in the article are official statistical data published by the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation. The declared annual incomes of the heads of regions of the Volga Federal District are considered in comparison with the income of an average citizen, based on the assumption that the "average person” presented in the Russian official statistics is not the poorest and the head of the region is not the richest person in the respective region. The time frame of the research is deliberately limited to the period of 2010–2015, as during the period the personal composition of the heads of regions of the Volga Federal District was comparatively stable. The methodological framework for comparing the declared annual incomes of senior regional officials with the selected socio-economic indicators of the regions involves methods of exploratory research and analysis, graphical and cartographic analysis, and techniques of statistical mathematics. The research findings show that both the dynamics and spatial distribution of personal incomes of the heads of regions demonstrates significant correlation with the per capita income of the population in the regions. At the same time, the level of earned incomes (salaries) of the heads of regions and the formal administrative and political status of the respective regions show a very low correlation. The article describing the results of a study of officially reported, open information about personal incomes reveals the scope of differences in socio-economic status between the senior regional officials and the general public in their regions

PRAZER-SOFRIMENTO NO TRABALHO EM HOTÉIS: ENTRE SERVIÇO E SERVIDÃO
Get PDFO objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre as vivências de prazer-sofrimento de um grupo de trabalhadores de hotéis, observando as situações em que o serviço hoteleiro pode se converter em servidão de quem trabalha. Foram conduzidas cinco entrevistas virtuais semiestruturadas com trabalhadores de setores operacionais de hotéis de nível superior e luxo da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Empregou-se a hermenêutica-dialética como exercício interpretativo das narrativas dos trabalhadores. Ao promover um diálogo entre conceitos provenientes da psicodinâmica do trabalho e as narrativas de trabalhadores de hotéis, foi possível esboçar dimensões em que o ato de servir pode configurar serviço ou servidão. Ventila-se a hipótese de que o discurso do imperativo de servir, na roupagem de hospitalidade comercial, pode naturalizar relações e vivências de servidão enquanto potência de padecimento, expressos pelas jornadas irregulares, extensivas e exaustivas, rigidez nas normas e protocolos e pela dificuldade de ter uma vida fora do trabalho
