Zimbabwe’s choice
Get PDFThe article attempts to juxtapose myths and the realities of Zimbabwe and prove that the viewpoints wide-spread in the international media and even academic community are far removed of those realities. Against the historical background it analyses the economic and political crisis the country faced in the beginning of the 21st century and the period of the “all inclusive government”. Special attention is paid to the 2013 presidential and parliamentary election and to the reasons of Robert Mugabe’s victory

Analogy and consciousness in a historical perspective
Get PDFPříspěvek je zaměřen na prezentaci proměn v chápání významu pojmu analogie od starověku, přes krizi analogického pojmu v období středověké scholastiky až k převažujícímu významu, jež tento pojem získal s nástupem novověku a vědeckou revolucí. Na pozadí této proměny je pro stejné období akcentován vývoj lidského vědomí, především jeho sílící intencionalita a schopnost reflexe vlastní kognitivní aktivity a vlastního vědomí. Naznačena je teze, že proměna vývoje chápání analogie přímo souvisí s rozvojem intencionálního vědomí. Charakteristickým rysem plně rozvinutého intencionálního vědomí je však zkušenost vydělenosti, odtržení člověka od světa (jakožto niterného subjektu od externího objektu). V druhé polovině článku je následně předložen syntetizující náhled, umožňující takto vzniklou mezeru ve vztahu člověka ke světu překonat právě tím, že je na tento vztah nahlíženo jako na vztah bytostně analogický. The article is dealing with presentattion of historical changes in the understanding of and the meaning of analogy from antiquity through the crisis of the analogical concept in medieval period to its presently prevalent meaning, which the term gained at the onset of renaissance and scientific revolution. With this as a frame of reference, the change of human consciousness in the same time period is mapped – mainly its growing intentionality and the ability of reflection of one’s own cognitive activity and consciousness. The proposition is outlined, that the change in understanding and meaning of analogy directly corresponds with the development of intentional consciousness. The characteristic features of fully developed intentional consciousness is the experience of separation of man from the world (of the inward subject separated from the outward object). In the second part of the article a synthetic view is presented, in which the arisen gap between the man and the world is bridged by considering their relationship as essentially analogical.The article is dealing with presentattion of historical changes in the understanding of and the meaning of analogy from antiquity through the crisis of the analogical concept in medieval period to its presently prevalent meaning, which the term gained at the onset of renaissance and scientific revolution.

Get PDFPolitical Parties in Contemporary Zambia: A View from within
Get PDFThis article examines the organization of Zambian political parties via the extended case method of the reflexive science model (Burawoy 1998). 23 in-depth interviews with party members and activists were conducted in three Zambian provinces around the time of the tripartite general elections in 2011. The inter-subjective encounters focused on the parties’ dayto-day functioning and were used to construe a model of party members’ lifeworld and its connections to macro-social forces studied by positive science. The study describes the Zambian political party scene as a ‘one party multipartism’ that is characterized by a lack of organizational cohesion and party switching of both individuals and structures. Using this interpretation as a springboard, the second part initiates a theoretical discussion of party ideology, party – voter interface, the dynamics of non-cohesive party competition, and the role of informal politics in the party’s internal organization. A picture emerges of political parties that are well adapted to the environment in which they operate and that strategically use a full range of symbolic, organizational, and financial resources available to them
