Its goal is always the transmission of a message with the highest possible coherence and, at the same time, its simultaneous comprehension with the less possible deterioration of its original meaning. A basic assumption is that a potential difficulty in everyday communication is due for the most part to the existence of one or more parasites, which could be detected either in external factors or in the message itself. The question is whether a parasite could live in the signifier of a word and thus determine or alter its signified during an act of communication. This paper aims at exploring Serres’ view on parasite and attempting to identify its existence and function within the signifier of words we use in everyday life. To that end the terms of “democracy” a...

The argument is focused on the fact that, although both philosophers agree that virtues can be taught and they are therefore a social activity, in Plato there is a certain significance laid on the social role of virtues as well as on the cardinal importance of love as a sentiment that leads to temperance, in Iamblichus, what is more adequate for a philosopher to exercise is rather the hieratic values, while the temperance is the virtue that leads to the union with god. Based on that argument and in the fact that theurgy as a practice is more personal than social, we could possibly trace in representative philosophical thoughts of these eras the change of worldviews between classical and late antiquity, as, at any rate, the historical research shows.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to explore cybervictimization across seven European countries, in relation to socio-demographic, Internet use and psychosocial variables. A cross-sectional school-based study was conducted in the participating countries: Germany, Greece, Iceland the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Spain. Anonymous self-completed questionnaires included sociodemographic data, internet usage characteristics, school achievement, parental control, the Internet Addiction Test and Achenbach's Youth Self-Report. The highest rate of cyber victimization was found in Romania (37.3%) and the lowest in Spain (13.3%). Multiple logistic regression analyses gave differing results between countries. In Romania, Poland and Germany cyberbullying victimization was associated with SNS use, whereas Internet use was associated with increa...

Πρόκειται για μια συλλογή πέντε δοκιμίων του Χαράλαμπου Μαγουλά, του Άγι Μαρίνη, του Στράτου Μυρογιάννη, του Νικήτα Σινιόσογλου και του Παναγιώτη Τσολιά, που εστιάζουν στην εξέταση συγκεκριμένων μορφών ή παραγωγικών περιόδων διανοητών που απέκλιναν της κοραϊκής «μέσης οδού» και τις οποίες η μέχρι τώρα ακαδημαϊκή έρευνα αγνόησε επιδεικτικά ως ανάξιες λόγου.
Οι συγγραφείς του τόμου επιχειρούν να αναδείξουν τις περιπτώσεις εκείνες, κατά τις οποίες ο Νεοελληνικός Διαφωτισμός έσπασε τα όρια της μεσότητας και συγκεκριμένοι εκπρόσωποί του διατύπωσαν φιλοσοφικές και πολιτικές θέσεις με στόχο την πλήρη ανατροπή της μέχρι τότε κρατούσας κατάστασης, πέρα από το ευρέως ανεκτό και το πολιτικώς ορθό.
