Human Joy of Life : Its Forms and the Significance of their Systematization in Building a positive Upbringing Climate
No full textThe author puts emphasis on the fact that the ability to experience joy of life as a psychical condition is ontologically important not only because it derives from the very existence of a human being, but also because it plays a therapeutic role in human life.
The author also looks into the onto-genetic revolution of joy of human life from its simplest biological forms to the spiritual and metaphysical forms of life affirmation. She also proposes the notion that the upbringing to joy of life is in line with the teacher’s understanding of the numerous sources of human joy, such as among other
things: being united with people, co-existence with Transcendence, educational atmosphere1 of love, truth and freedom and a belief that it is up to the educator to lead his/her students out of the states contrary to joy of life. The final part of the text contains praxeological guidelines on educating the youth to joy of life.
In concentrating on the ontological aspect of this existential field of science the author was able to explore a new area of the pedagogical research, connecting philosophy of upbringing with the theory and practice of education. The application of phenomenological and hermeneutical methodology to pedagogical sciences proved conducive to essential thinking which was aimed atdiscovering the nature, sense and meaning of various phenomena of upbringing rather than at gathering facts. The essential studies play not only an epistemological role of providing scientifi c knowledge, but also an axiological one, based on the
thesis that science is “saturated” with values and that it brings us up using these values. Hermeneutical understanding is a very important cognitive-emotional process, peculiar methodology, a style of research work, a way of interpersonal communication

Jonathan Edward's Personal narrative and C. S. Lewis's Surprised by joy : Christian spiritual autobiographies examined : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)
No full textJonathan Edwards was an 18th century American Puritan pastor, and he wrote a spiritual autobiography in essay form titled "Personal Narrative." C. S. Lewis was a 20th century British scholar and author, and his spiritual autobiography is a book, Surprised by Joy. Though these two men converted to Christianity in different ways and though they belonged to different denominations, their autobiographies and their lives still have remarkable similarities. In their works, both men emphasized that God drew them to Himself and that they did not find Him on their own. Also, both men were staunchly opposed to the prevailing-world views of the societies they lived in. I also have written my own spiritual autobiography to examine the process of my relationship with God and to more fully understand the genre of the spiritual autobiography.Thesis (B.?.)Honors Colleg

The Status of Child Health Care in an Indigenous People’s Community of a Mindanaon Province
No full textLimited research has focused on child health care within indigenous communities, particularly in Mindanao. This study aimed to assess the state of child health care in the Indigenous People's (IPs) community of Barangay Cablalan, Glan, Sarangani Province, and to explore the associated problems and challenges. Using a convergent mixed methods research design, a survey questionnaire was administered to fifty households for the quantitative data and key informants such as health workers, LGU officials, and POs/NGOs representatives were interviewed for the qualitative data. Documents obtained from concerned offices further enriched the data. The findings of the study show that in children's health care, the respondent families who belong to low-income families have a growing practice of using modern medicine, especially over-the-counter medicines for ordinary illnesses, and at the same time, they also avail of the services of the traditional healers and herbal medications. Likewise, the barangay health centers are currently providing frontline services for children. Problems and challenges are identified, such as the lack and/or delay of medications and facilities, incapacity to pay, and far distance from the barangay health center
Fiction versus fact: the life of C. S. Lewis in the Chronicles of Narnia
No full textThis thesis will examine experiences of C. S. Lewis' life, as Lewis himself penned in Surprised by Joy, that are evident throughout The Chronicles of Narnia. This thesis will argue that elements of Lewis such as: his approach to women, education, childhood and Christianity are inevitably present in Narnia as a result of his conversion to Christianity late in his life, which ultimately impacted his writing and character. The framework of his conversion in the thesis largely follows
Lewis' structure in Surprised by Joy, which is an autobiographical retelling of his coming to faith. Although the thesis
argues the importance of this moment, it is not the sole important element of Lewis that translates into Narnia. Although Roland Barthes argues for a separation of the author and text, this thesis suggests that that separation may not be so distinct. Instead, the author plays an important role in telling the story, if for nothing else, to provide context
Argument, nebo svědectví? Radost, potěšení a touha jako téma fundamentální teologie u C. S. Lewise
No full textThe aim of the article is to focus on the term “argument from desire”, which is often used by the scholars dealing with C. S. Lewis’s work, in order to answer the question if the term truly reflects the original thinking of the author. The first section briefly introduces the discussion of this topic in Czech and international titles. After that, we are going to describe the theme of Joy as related to Lewis’ notion of the word. The next section gives reasons why we think that the term “argument from desire” does not aptly illustrate the way the theme of desire and Joy is presented in Lewis’ work. Finally, the article discusses these topics from the perspective of fundamental theology and shows that Joy and desire should be rather seen as a part of Lewis’ personal testimony, which complements his rational arguments
