When the rite is performed in the soul of a person, when he feels that the name, image, virtue, and everything connected with God live in his own heart, when worship is performed in this place of the human body, where the human comes into contact with the divine, then the boundaries are erased religions, and the Highest Intuition allows us to see the radiance of the one God.

Delia Steinberg Guzman

A new miracle that needs to be added to the list of traditional ones is the miracle of being a person whose feet are on the ground and whose head rises to the starry sky.

Delia Steinberg Guzman

Only human consciousness is able to overcome the path from the diversity of things to Unity. It ascends and descends, descends and ascends, connecting these two extremes of the manifestation of life.

A person is born, grows, reaches his prime, weakens and dies. Despite his blindness, he still admits that his death is not absolute, just as nothing in nature freezes completely. He does not realize that, as soon as the time comes, he, too, will be reborn with the same ease with which trees do it. He cannot pretend to be reborn in the same body, but the trees do not need the same leaves that were on them last summer. Our bodies are leaves, but the roots remain the same, just as the soul lives forever.

Delia Steinberg Guzman

Man struggles to find life outside himself, not realizing that the life he seeks is within him.

A person who is limited in heart and thoughts tends to love what is limited in life. One whose vision is limited cannot see beyond the length of one cubit on the road he is walking on or on the wall he is leaning against with his shoulder.

Whatever the cost, you must act truthfully and must not do what is untrue, no matter what an ignorant person thinks or says about you.

Debt is what we owe to humanity, our loved ones, our neighbors, our family, and, above all, what we owe to all those who are poorer and more defenseless than us. This is our duty, and failure to fulfill it during life makes us spiritually bankrupt and leads to a state of moral collapse in our future incarnation.

Each is given the opportunity to go from peak to peak and cooperate with nature in achieving the obvious purpose of life. The spiritual “I” of a person moves in eternity like a pendulum swinging between the periods of life and death. This “I” is an actor, and its many incarnations are the roles that it plays.

Francois Rabelais

Francesco Petrarca

Throw yourself onto the wings of the mills, pretending to be the hands of giants. You are the new Don Quixote, and therefore it is better to die in the name of a worthy cause than to live in the rags of fear.

On the day when humanity meets its destiny, which it itself has created over the past several centuries, when all the blood accumulated by long suffering will rain down before the eyes of its future leaders, the fate of the ancient religions, in whose temples cattle graze today, will seem desirable and bright like the morning sun.

There are two things that only man is capable of: laughter and prayer; when these two values ​​are lost - a sense of humor and religion - a person reaches the state of an animal.

We are travelers. And after long wanderings, enriched with impressions, although covered with scars - traces of countless adventures, we go to what we left. We long for new distances, our eyes, like hawks, peer into the horizon, and dry lips whisper: “Let's return home!”

We must look for our essence, our human origins, our inner strengths, our potentials. And just as we wash to cleanse our body, we must bathe in the mysterious light of philosophy to cleanse our soul.

A true idealist is a person whose height depends not on his physical height, but on the grandeur of his dreams. The horizons that open to him are outlined not by mountains, but by his self-confidence.

The new man whom we proclaim and call upon is young at heart; he is the bearer and keeper of hope, he has the eternal power to remain optimistic, enthusiastic and maintain the ability to do what you want. He can achieve his dreams, he understands and respects the differences that exist between people, because he has deep respect for people themselves and for the world. He has genuine humanity.

The difference between a man and an animal is that he has faith, that he lives an inner life, that his eyes fill with tears at the sight of a sunset, and that he is able to read poetry, understand it and pass it on to other people. Man, unlike animals, does not consider strength to be the highest virtue; he strives to help the weak.

By knowing himself, a person knows his divine essence and recognizes it wherever he wants to see it.

Happy are those who live, those who truly live, who carry within themselves a grain of hope from which a whole world will grow - a world of hope, new world, which will be better than before.

Three virtues adorn the soul: beauty, wisdom and love. Man must honor and strive to comprehend them.

A man has the magnitude of what he dares to do.

Modern technologies are making people increasingly weak-minded.

intelligence and gray hair
digs around in nature with impudent agility
boys who rummage through the clock.
Igor Guberman

Science is like time. She always goes forward and never back. Each new day brings a lot of unknowns and brings us closer to revealing the secrets of the universe. This is the essence of science. Perpetual motion is the key to success. Knowledge moves us, and we, in turn, control the minds of those around us through the means of science.
K. Thompson

No matter how many illusions enthusiasts create on this score scientific method, but it has never been, will not be and cannot be either the only method of cognition or the only method of mastering matter.
Daniil Andreev "Rose of the World"

Painstakingly accumulating facts, deducing certain patterns from them, not understanding either their nature or direction, but mastering them mechanically, and at the same time being unable to predict what inventions and social upheavals its discoveries will lead to - science has long been accessible to everyone , regardless of everyone's moral character. The results are before our eyes and above our heads. The main one is that not a single person on Earth is guaranteed that at any moment a hydrogen bomb or another, even more stunning achievement of science will not be dropped on him and his fellow citizens by highly intelligent minds.
Daniil Andreev "Rose of the World"

Science is the best modern way to satisfy the curiosity of individuals at the expense of the state.

Final essay on literature 2018. The topic of the final essay on literature. "Human and society".





FIPI comment: "For topics in this direction, the view of a person as a representative of society is relevant. Society largely shapes the individual, but the individual is also capable of influencing society. The topics will allow us to consider the problem of the individual and society from different sides: from the point of view of their harmonious interaction, complex confrontation or irreconcilable conflict. It is equally important to think about the conditions under which a person must obey social laws, and society must take into account the interests of each person. Literature has always shown interest in the problem of the relationship between man and society, the creative or destructive consequences of this interaction for the individual and for human civilization." .

So, let's try to figure out from what positions these two concepts can be viewed.

1. Personality and society (in agreement or in opposition). Within this subsection, you can talk about the following topics: Man as part of society. The impossibility of human existence outside of society. Independence of judgment of an individual. The influence of society on a person’s decisions, the influence of public opinion on a person’s tastes, his life position. Confrontation or conflict between society and an individual. A person’s desire to become special, original. Contrasting human interests with the interests of society. The ability to devote one’s life to the interests of society, philanthropy and misanthropy. The influence of the individual on society. The place of a person in society. The attitude of a person to society, to his own kind.

2. Social norms and laws, morality. The responsibility of a person to society and society to a person for everything that happens and the future. A person's decision to accept or reject the laws of the society in which he lives, to follow the norms or to break the laws.

3. Man and society in historical, state terms. The role of personality in history. The connection between time and society. Evolution of society.

4. Man and society in a totalitarian state. Erasing individuality in society. The indifference of society to its future and a bright personality capable of fighting the system. The contrast between the “crowd” and the “individual” in a totalitarian regime. Diseases of society. Alcoholism, drug addiction, lack of tolerance, cruelty and crime

HUMAN- a term used in two main senses: biological and social. In a biological sense, man is a representative of the species Homo sapiens, the family of hominids, the order of primates, the class of mammals - the highest stage of development of organic life on Earth.

In a social sense a person is a being that arose in a collective, reproduces and develops in a collective. Historically established norms of law, morality, everyday life, rules of thinking and language, aesthetic tastes, etc. shape human behavior and mind, make individual person representative of a certain way of life, culture and psychology. A person is an elementary unit of various groups and communities, including ethnic groups, states, etc., where he acts as an individual. “Human rights” recognized in international organizations and in the legislation of states are, first of all, individual rights.

Synonyms: face, personality, person, individual, individuality, soul, unit, biped, human being, individual, king of nature, someone, working unit.

SOCIETY- in a broad sense - a large group of people united by a common goal with stable social boundaries. The term society can be applied to all of humanity (human society), to historical stage development of all humanity or its individual parts (slave society, feudal society, etc. (see Socio-economic formation), to the inhabitants of the state (American society, Russian society, etc.) and to individual organizations of people (sports society , Geographical Society, etc.).

Sociological concepts of society differed primarily in their interpretation of the nature of the compatibility of human existence and in their explanation of the principle of the formation of social ties. O. Comte saw such a principle in the division of functions (labor) and in solidarity, E. Durkheim - in cultural artifacts, which he called “collective representations”. M. Weber called mutually oriented, i.e. social, actions of people the unifying principle. Structural functionalism considered social norms and values ​​to be the basis of the social system. K. Marx and F. Engels considered the development of society as a natural historical process of changing socio-economic formations, which are based on a certain method of people’s production activity. Its specificity is determined by production relations independent of people’s consciousness, corresponding to the achieved level of productive forces. On the basis of these objective, material relations, systems of corresponding social and political institutions, ideological relations, and forms of consciousness are built. Thanks to this understanding, each socio-economic formation appears as an integral concrete historical social organism, characterized by its economic and social structure, value-normative system of social regulation, characteristics and spiritual life.

For modern stage The development of society is characterized by an increase in integration processes against the background of an increasing diversity of economic, political and ideological forms. Scientific, technical and social progress, having resolved some contradictions, gave rise to others, even more acute ones, and confronted human civilization with global problems, on the solution of which the very existence of society and the paths of its further development depend.

Synonyms: society, people, community, herd; crowd; public, environment, environment, public, humanity, light, human race, human race, brotherhood, brethren, gang, group.
