"The essays in this collection, spanning 1925 to 1970, confirm Aurel Kolnai's place as one of the great conservative theorists of the twentieth century. Kolnai carefully analyzes the leading intellectual positions and thinkers of his day, the dominant social movements, and the prevailing moral influences--psychoanalysis, fascism, and National Socialism. He documents how they run counter to the architecture of civilization.Kolnai is relatively unknown outside philosophical circles, but Politics, Values, and National Socialism provides an overview of his moral philosophy. In most moral philosophy books one finds p. devoted to the major theories of ethics. This volume is different. It seeks to address the larger moral question of what kind of thought works against morality, and by implication, how one can defend morality.Eager to protect the surviving islands of Liberal Civilization, Kolnai's concern is really one of theory. He shows that much of what passes for moral theory is subversive of moral order. All who think that totalitarianism is a permanent threat, and who suspect that ideas can quickly be dangerously distorted in times of social unrest, will find plenty of clarifying ideas in this volume."--Provided by publisher.

Papers presented at the two day Seminar on "Good Politics as a Precursor to Good Governance"

James Manor is acknowledged as one of the world's leading experts on Indian politics, especially how it is affected by caste, political economy -- particularly poverty and its alleviation -- regionalism and modes of political leadership. This book distils his six decades of research, scholarship and writing on these topics, presenting the reader with a definitive collection of chapters covering the full spectrum of Manor's expertise. The first section is a commentary on the emergence of a consolidated democracy in India, and discusses political awakening and political decay, which, together with political regeneration, form the three key processes at work in Indian politics over the past forty years. If one aspect of the management of democratic affairs is linked to the Indian voters and their shifting political choices, the other is where political leaders step in; and Manor is equally interested in both. He devotes three sections to the nature of political parties, the trends of regional politics, and how, at all these levels, political actors manage the challenges of governance.He addresses the regional dynamics of politics through the lens of political leadership in the fourth section. And in the last section, he comments on the more recent and turbulent phase of Indian politics, as Hindu nationalists took power in the regions and at the centre.

AbstractMany leading novelists of the 19th Century were deeply concerned with crime and its causes, reflecting concerns of the period and often raising ideas which find resonance with modern criminological theories. The structural causes of crime; the negative effect of ill‐treatment and harsh punishment; labelling theory; the possibility of redemption and desistance; the ingrained flaws in individual characters which result in a propensity to crime and deviance, enhanced by bad influences and criminogenic environments; the social pressures (labelled 'strain theory' by criminologists) which drive outsiders to gain wealth and status by illegitimate means – all these can be found in fiction of the period. This article takes examples from English, French and Russian literature to illustrate these themes. The article also links fiction to the development of perceptions about crime and criminals as the century progressed.

Статья посвящена рассмотрению семантики религиозно-мифологического мотива Молитвы/Мольбы в современной татарской литературе (конца XX - начала XXI века) на татарском и русском языках как отражения верований тюркских народов в целом и татар в частности. В центре исследования находится мифопоэтика произведений современных авторов (М. Магдеев, Р. Мухамадиев, Ф. Гильми, М. Валеев, Н. Гиматдинова, Ф. Байрамова), продолжающих традицию обращения к религиозным мотивам и образам в творческом наследии классической татарской литературы (Кул Гали, С. Сараи, Мухаммедьяр, Г. Тукай, Г. Исхаки и др.). Своеобразие современного обращения к мотивам Молитвы и Мольбы представляется не только в изображении религиозной обрядовой практики («намаз», «дуа», «салават», «зикр», «никях» и др.), но и в выражении различных чувств, эмоций и состояний человека (надежда, восхищение, хвальба, благодарность, покаяние и др.). Кроме того, мифологический мотив Молитвы - важный, обогащающий художественное произведение элемент как изображения культурно-религиозной жизни народа, его истории, так и исторической памяти, связи поколений. Результаты проведенного анализа применимы в теоретических работах по религиозной символике в словесности, а также во время учебных занятий при изучении системы образов художественного текста.
The article is devoted to the semantics of the religious and mythological motif of prayer/supplication in modern Tatar literature (the end of the 20th century - beginning of the 21st century) in Tatar and Russian as the reflection of the beliefs of the Turkic peoples in general and the Tatars in particular. The research focuses on the mythopoetics of the works of modern authors (M. Magdeev, R. Mukhamadiev,F. Gilmi, M. Valeev, N. Gimatdinova, F. Bayramov), who continue the tradition of addressing religious motifs and images in the creative heritage of classical Tatar literature (Kul Gali, S. Sarai, Mukhammedyar, etc.). The peculiarity of the modern appeal to the motifs of Prayer and Supplication is represented not only in the depiction of religious ritual practice ("namaz", "dua", "salavat", "zikr", "nikyah", etc.), but also in the expression of various feelings, emotions and human states (hope, admiration, praise, gratitude, repentance, etc.). In addition, the mythological motif of Prayer is an important, enriching element of both the image of the cultural and religious life of the people, its history, and historical memory, the connection of generations. The results of the analysis are applicable in theoretical works on religious symbolism in literature, as well as during training sessions when studying the system of images of a literary text.

The search strategy resulted in 446 research articles, out of which 33 relevant articles were identified for this research.


Findings
Misinformation on social media spreads swiftly and may result in negative consequences. This review identifies 13 intrinsic predictors of the dissemination, 11 detection approaches and 10 ways to combat misinformation on social media.


Originality/value
The study adds to the present knowledge of spread and detection of misinformation on social media. The results of this study will be beneficial for researchers and practitioners and help them in mitigating the harmful consequences of the spread of misinformation.
