Opis: The author examines Arthur Schopenhauer’s concept of quietism: a philosophical stance that advocates detachment and negation of the will-to-live, as outlined in Schopenhauer’s The World as Will and Representation (1969). Schopenhauer, influenced by a Vedic philosophy that emphasizes ontological pessimism, perceives life as marked by suffering due to the will’s ceaseless striving. His ethical response to suffering, quietism, advocates withdrawal and stillness to transcend suffering. Employing a phenomenological approach, this author evaluates quietism in light of contemporary trauma research and psychological evidence, alongside Friedrich Nietzsche’s critique of Schopenhauer. Findings from mindfulness and exposure therapy studies suggest that complete withdrawal is unsustainable and detrimental to psychological well-being, which is contrasted with Schopenhauer’s radical negation of the will. Nietzsche’s philosophy of the will to power, though born from Schopenhauer’s Vedic-inspired ontology, emphasizes engagement with one’s suffering-filled life and transformation through it, thereby presenting a more dynamic, life-affirming alternative to Schopenhauer’s pessimistic withdrawal. The author concludes that while Schopenhauer’s insights into suffering are profound, his quietism is incomplete, thereby necessitating integration with active engagement and ethical responsibility to address human challenges effectively.

Opis: This paper examines cannabis (Cannabis sp.) and opium (Papaver somniferum) in post-medieval Europe, with a focus on Portugal and regions shaped by global trade and colonial networks. Covering the sixteenth–nineteenth centuries, it synthesizes historical texts such as medical treatises, travel narratives, and ethnographic accounts, alongside fragmentary material evidence to trace how these substances were perceived, used, and culturally embedded. The sources suggest diverse roles, from therapeutic and recreational applications to broader symbolic meanings within early modern life. While the evidence is dispersed and often partial, the study contributes to a growing historiography of psychoactive substances in Europe. By foregrounding Portuguese examples within wider intellectual and cultural currents, it advances inquiry into how cannabis and opium intersected with evolving notions of the body, health, and consciousness in the early modern period.

Opis: Članek obravnava terensko preverjanje kot del interpretativnega procesa, v katerem se arheološka vednost oblikuje skozi postopno prepletanje različnih virov, od interpretacije posnetkov zračnega laserskega skeniranja do empiričnih preverjanj na terenu. Na območju Divaškega Krasa in Vrhe smo izmed številnih pozitivnih oblik, prepoznanih na posnetkih zračnega laserskega skeniranja, izbrali sedem kompleksov značilnosti in na terenu preverili nekaj tipičnih primerov. Rezultati so potrdili, dopolnili in okrepili interpretacijo, da gre za večinoma prazgodovinske antropogene strukture, ter razjasnili njihovo funkcijo in umeščenost v arheološko krajino. Terenska preverjanja so obenem razkrila veliko notranjo variabilnost v navidezno enotnih tipih značilnosti. Prispevek predstavlja primer refleksivnega pristopa k interpretaciji podatkov zračnega laserskega skeniranja, kar postaja vse pomembnejše v luči naraščajoče rabe avtomatskih sistemov in umetne inteligence v arheologiji.

Opis: Nationalist discourses build societal unity by shaping rituals, historical narratives, and collective memory to construct the myth of a nation. Post-Soviet countries offer a unique context for examining the production of nationalism as a transition from a multinational past to a national identity. This process of decommunisation unfolds through the Soviet traces in the built environment. As a physical representation of the state narrative, we focus on the architectural memory and architectonic transformations of Soviet parliament buildings, analysed via large-scale axonometric drawings. Architectural landmarks such as parliament areas have evolved into focal points for confronting the traumatic memory of the second half of the twentieth century. The text focuses on the White House in Moscow, the Verkhovna Rada in Kyiv, the Government House in Baku, the National Assembly Building of Armenia in Yerevan, and the Government House in Minsk. How have communities reacted to the parliament buildings as tangible reminders of their problematic past? Following the methodologies the forensic aesthetic paradigm opened up, we traced the protest’s morphology, its form, and the transformations made in the built environment. By analysing videos, photos, and newspaper articles, we mapped out the protests to discuss architecture’s role in conveying state narratives.
