                            Abstract: The year 2025 is taking its first steps. New hopes are emerging amidst old threats and real dangers. Old conflicts are giving way to new situations. One of those real risks and threats looming over us and globally is jihadist terrorism. But we must not forget far-right terrorism, a product of the action-reaction phenomenon.

In Marx's opinion, in accordance with the provisions of Hegelian dialectics, this change occurs as a result of the resolution of the internal contradictions of each of them, leading to its transformation into "its other" – a formation of

                            Abstract: The concept of essence has played an important role in the history and development of philosophy; and in no branch of the discipline is its importance more manifest than in metaphysics. Its significance for metaphysics is perhaps attributable to two main sources. In the first place, the concept may be used to characterize w

An object must have something very basic, unique, and intrinsic and more fundamental by which we can identify an object as it is. We always have a tendency to hold on something stable and discarding what is accidental and unstable.

                            Abstract: Through theoretical frame design and number simulation, a new approach on nondiscriminatory wage structure is established so as to decompose wage differential by linking the labor market and product market, assuming a segmented labor market. Results indicate that the nondiscriminatory wage structure may be overestimated, an

                            Abstract: ‘Jumping’ between firms causes job-knowledge gaps that encourage use of covertly concealed managerial ignorance (hereafter CCMI), defending authority by either detachment and/or autocratic seduction-coercion. CCMI use causes distrust and ignorance cycles, which engender mismanagement that bars performance-based promotion an

There is a relation of being depended on and depending on, and of being expressed and expressing between substance and other   ca

                            Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) poses historically unique challenges for humankind.  In a world, where there is a currently ongoing blend between human beings and artificial intelligence, the emerging autonomy of AI holds unique potentials of eternal life.  With AI being endowed with quasi-human rights and citizenship in the W
