The article examines the metaphysical and ethical approaches appropriate to studying the image of the self and other in Non-Dualistic Vedānta (hereafter NDV). NDV examines the nature of the empirical division of the self and the other, referred to by the terms ‘I’ and ‘you’ - asmad and yuṣmad, respectively. Behind the mundane expressions of these terms, Śaṅkara identifies ‘superimposition’ as a metaphysical precursor, which generates a cognitive error in all such expressions using personal pronouns and the use of predicates thereupon. The prime intent of the paper is to demonstrate vis-à-vis the metaphysical framework of NDV that the distinction of self and other is founded upon ignorance. If this ignorance is replaced by true knowledge, the entire problems pertaining to ‘self’ and ‘other’ will see the development of a different kind of understanding, exposing the underlying unity of self and other, which generates a different attitude. Taking recourse to the NDV’s exposition of the issue, a moral interpretation of the underlying unity of self and other is also intended.

The one-sided focus of Christian higher education in South Africa on the field of theology and the lack of integrating faith and learning in other subjects emphasizes the need for a Christian university in South Africa. The question addressed in this article is whether a Christian university can also be for-profit, considering the fact that all Christian private higher education institutions in South Africa are non-profit. There are numerous criticisms against for-profit higher education institutions. The greatest of these are that for-profit private higher education institutions miss the purpose of what it means to be a university and that profitable higher education institutions exploit students. The church also has numerous criticisms of the profit motive, but from the Bible it is clear that there are two lines of thought regarding profit. The one is that profit is dangerous and that it easily becomes an idol; the other is that people are called to be profitable. This article concludes that there is room for a for-profit Christian higher education institution in South Africa. This for-profit Christian higher education institution should be imagined in terms of its understanding of profit regarding its mission, students, faculty and governance.

ABSTRACT PHILOSOPHY AT POTCHEFSTROOM THE PAST CENTURY (1917-2017). Part 4: At the cross-roads? Three previous articles in this journal reviewed the history of philosophy at Potchefstroom from the beginning of the previous century up to about 2009. In this and the next contribution the writer, acting again as a fly on the wall, provides a peephole on the current situation at the end of 2017. As the subtitle suggests, it seems that Christian philosophy at Potchefstroom has arrived at the cross-roads. Different reasons, like the on-going secularisation of the North-West University have contributed to the situation. A cause for differences within the School of Philosophy may also be that lecturers from outside the tradition of a Reformational approach are critical about the traditional Christian philosophical approach of more than a century. Since his viewpoint is one clear example of such an alternative approach the academic training, publications and viewpoint of Prof Anné H. Verhoef will be investigated in detail in a last (fifth) contribution. The present article about the main contours of a Reformational approach in philosophy serves as a necessary background from which the philosophical theology of Verhoef will be analysed and evaluated in the conclusion of this series. SAMEVATTING In drie vorige artikels in hierdie tydskrif is die geskiedenis van filosofie op Potchefstroom vanaf die begin van die vorige eeu tot ongeveer 2009 behandel. In hierdie en die volgende bydrae bied die skrywer, weer ʼn vlieg teen die muur, ʼn volgende kyk op die huidige situasie teen die einde van 2017. Soos die subtitel van die huidige artikel aandui, wil dit voorkom asof die Potchefstroomse Christelike filosofie tans voor ʼn tweesprong te staan gekom het. Verskillende redes kan daarvoor aangevoer word, soos die voortgaande sekularisering van die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU). ʼn Oorsaak vir die verskille binne die Skool vir Filosofie kan moontlik ook daarin gesoek word dat dosente van buite die tradisionele Christelik-Reformatoriese tradisie bygekom het en die denkgemeenskap van meer as ʼn eeu nie deel nie. As een voorbeeld van so ʼn alternatiewe visie sal die akademiese agtergrond, publikasies en standpunt van prof. A.H. Verhoef in ʼn laaste (vyfde) bydrae in besonderhede nagegaan word. Die huidige artikel oor die hoofkontoere van ʼn Reformatoriese wysbegeerte dien as agtergrond waarteen die filosofiese teologie van Verhoef in die slotartikel analiseer en evalueer sal word.
过去一个世纪potchefstroom的抽象哲学(1917-2017)。第四部分:在十字路口?本杂志之前的三篇文章回顾了Potchefstroom从上世纪初到2009年的哲学史。在这篇和下一篇文章中,作者再次扮演墙上苍蝇的角色,为2017年底的现状提供了一个窥视孔。正如副标题所暗示的那样,波切夫斯特room的基督教哲学似乎走到了十字路口。不同的原因,比如西北大学正在进行的世俗化,造成了这种情况。哲学学院内部产生分歧的一个原因可能是来自宗教改革方法传统之外的讲师对一个多世纪以来传统的基督教哲学方法持批评态度。由于他的观点是这种替代方法的一个明显例子,ann H. Verhoef教授的学术培训、出版物和观点将在最后(第五)篇文章中详细研究。这篇关于哲学改革方法的主要轮廓的文章作为一个必要的背景,将在本系列的结论中分析和评价费尔霍夫的哲学神学。同一件事:在高级别的艺术作品中,在高级别的艺术作品中,在高级别的艺术作品中,在高级别的艺术作品中,在高级别的艺术作品中,在高级别的艺术作品中,在高级别的艺术作品中,在高级别的艺术作品中,在高级别的艺术作品中,在高级别的艺术作品中,在高级别的艺术作品中。在hierdie en die volgende bybybybybyskrywer中,weer volgende teen die muur, volgende kyk - op die huidige情境下,teen die einde van 2017。因此,该产品的副标题为“van die huidige artikel”,将其命名为“the voorkom”,即“the Potchefstroomse”,即“the world”,即“the world”。Verskillende的翻译结果:Verskillende的翻译结果:Verskillende的翻译结果:Verskillende的翻译结果:Verskillende的翻译结果:Verskillende的翻译结果:Verskillende的翻译结果:ʼnOorsaak梵死verskille binne死茱莉安梵Filosofie菅直人moontlik显得daarin gesoek词dat dosente van buite死tradisionele Christelik-Reformatoriese tradisie bygekom het en denkgemeenskap范米尔死亡ʼn每个聂deel聂。作为一名学者,我们可以选择访问学术界的学术领域,在学术领域,我们可以站在学者范霍夫(A.H.

The subjective validation of language tests and their objective validity remain contested. The debate is clouded by a lack of conceptual clarity: every measure of the adequacy of a test is either subsumed under validity, or other test features are promoted to prime consideration. An alternative is to recognize the technical dimension of experience as the leading function of applied linguistic artefacts such as language tests. In its coherence with other dimensions of reality, the technical aspect generates echoes of those others. These references to other facets are the basis of technically stamped, applied linguistic concepts. While a previous analysis referred to a number of foundational concepts in test design, this paper examines the traces of the lingual, social, economic and ethical aspects within the technical. These are all regulative technical ideas, acting as lodestars in the design of language tests. They are disclosures of the technical meaning of test design. Moreover, they allow applied linguistics to conceive of them as design principles, which must be given concrete shape and form in the actual development of language tests. Acknowledging this state of affairs enables the applied linguist to develop a robust and non-reductionist theory of applied linguistics. Opsomming Daar is geen eenstemmigheid oor wat die subjektiewe validering van taaltoetse asook hul objektiewe geldigheid behels nie. Die debat word vertroebel deur 'n gebrek aan konseptuele duidelikheid: elke maatstaf vir die effektiwiteit van 'n toets word óf ingetrek onder geldigheid, óf verhef tot belangrikste oorweging. Die alternatief is om die tegniese dimensie van ons ervaring as die leidende funksie van toegepaste taalkundige artefakte te erken. In sy samehang met ander dimensies genereer die tegniese aspek analogieë van die ander. Daardie verwysings na ander aspekte vorm die basis van tegnies gekwalifiseerde toegepaste taalkundige begrippe. Waar 'n vorige analise na 'n aantal funderende begrippe verwys het, ondersoek hierdie bydrae die linguale, sosiale, ekonomiese en etiese spore in die tegniese aspek. Hierdie analogieë is almal regulatiewe tegniese idees, wat optree as rigtingwysers in die ontwerp van taaltoetse. Hulle is ook ontsluitings van die tegniese betekenis van toetsontwerp. Terselfdertyd maak hulle dit vir die toegepaste taalkunde moontlik om hulle as ontwerpbeginsels te beskou wat in die ontwikkeling van taaltoetse konkrete beslag en vorm te kry. Om hierdie stand van sake ernstig op te neem is vir die toepgepaste taalkundige die beginpunt van die ontwikkeling van 'n robuuste en nie-reduksionistiese teorie van die toegepaste taalkunde.
语言测试的主观有效性及其客观有效性仍然存在争议。由于缺乏概念上的清晰性,争论变得模糊不清:每一个测试充分性的度量要么被归入有效性,要么其他测试特征被提升为首要考虑。另一种选择是认识到经验的技术维度是应用语言人工制品(如语言测试)的主要功能。在与现实的其他方面的一致性中,技术方面产生了其他方面的回声。这些对其他方面的参考是技术上盖章的、应用的语言概念的基础。虽然之前的分析提到了测试设计中的一些基本概念,但本文检查了技术中语言,社会,经济和伦理方面的痕迹。这些都是规范性的技术思想,在语言测试的设计中起着指路明灯的作用。它们揭示了测试设计的技术意义。此外,它们允许应用语言学将它们视为设计原则,在语言测试的实际开发中必须给予具体的形状和形式。认识到这种情况,应用语言学家就能够发展出一种健全的、非还原论的应用语言学理论。Opsomming Daar被认为是一种非常有效的方法,它可以帮助我们更好地理解我们的主题,并验证我们对主题的理解。我们讨论单词vertroebel deur’和konseptuele duidelikheid:就像maatstaf’和Die effektiwiteit van’一样,我们讨论单词óf ingetrek onder geldigheid, óf verhef’t belangrikste oorweging。模具的替代方案是由模具的尺寸和尺寸组成,如模具的尺寸和尺寸,以及模具的尺寸和尺寸。在同一时间内,我遇到了许多次元,一般人说:analogieë范·范·范·范·范·范·范·范。Daardie verysings是一种基于模型的模型,它可以在模型的基础上生成模型,并在模型的基础上生成模型。从语言、社会、经济和语言的角度来分析语言、社会、经济和语言的差异。层次结构analogieë是一种正常的规范的技术思想,它是一种正确的方法,可以帮助我们更好地解决问题。Hulle正在研究如何在肯尼亚和加拿大之间建立起一种新的联系。自己动手做了一件事,把它做成一件事,把它做成一件事,把它做成一件事,把它做成一件事,把它做成一件事。Om hierdie站货车为了ernstig op te楝梵死toepgepaste taalkundige死beginpunt van死ontwikkeling范' n robuuste en nie-reduksionistiese teorie van死toegepaste taalkunde。

The conceptualization of validity remains contested in educational assessment in general, and in language assessment in particular. Validation and validity are the subjective and objective sides of the process of building a systematic argument for the adequacy of tests. Currently, validation is conceptualized as being dependent on the validity of the interpretation of the results of the instrument. Yet when a test yields a score, that is a first indication of its adequacy, or validity. As the history of validity theory shows, adequacy is further disclosed with reference to the theoretical defensibility (“construct validity”) of a language test. That analogical analytical disclosure of validity is taken further in the lingually analogical question of whether the test scores are interpretable, and meaningful. This paper will illustrate these various degrees of adequacy with reference mainly to empirical analyses of a number of tests of academic literacy, from pre-school level tests of emergent literacy, to measurements of postgraduate students’ ability to cope with the language demands of their study. Further disclosures of language test design will be dealt with more comprehensively in a follow-up paper. Both papers present an analysis of how such disclosures relate to a theoretical framework for responsible test design.

效度的概念在一般的教育评估中仍然存在争议,特别是在语言评估中。验证和有效性是为测试的充分性建立系统论证过程的主观和客观方面。目前,验证被概念化为依赖于对仪器结果解释的有效性。然而,当一项测试得出一个分数时,这是它的充分性或有效性的第一个迹象。正如效度理论的发展历程所表明的那样,语言测试的理论防卫性(“构式效度”)进一步揭示了充分性。在测试分数是否可解释和有意义的语言类比问题中,进一步采取了有效性的类比分析披露。本文将主要通过对一系列学术素养测试的实证分析来说明这些不同程度的充分性,从学前水平的新兴素养测试到研究生应对学习语言需求的能力测量。语言测试设计的进一步披露将在后续论文中更全面地讨论。两篇论文都分析了这些披露与负责任测试设计的理论框架之间的关系。在模具质量评定中,在模具质量评定中,在模具质量评定中,在模具质量评定中,在模具质量评定中,在模具质量评定中,在模具质量评定中,在模具质量评定中,在模具质量评定中,在模具质量评定中,在模具质量评定中,在模具质量评定中,在模具质量评定中。Geldigmaking en geldigheid菅直人respektiewelik opgevat单词死subjektiewe en objektiewe卡里·范死sistematiese论点窟gevo公司菅直人词梵toereikendheid van toetse死去。这个词的翻译是:翻译,翻译,翻译,结果,翻译工具。这样一来,我们就不会再用“我的脚”来代替“我的脚”,也不会再用“我的脚”来代替“我的脚”,而是用“我的脚”来代替“我的脚”。所以这个词的意思是:“我的意思是说,我的意思是说,我的意思是说,我的意思是说,我的意思是说,我的意思是说,我的意思是说,我的意思是说,我的意思是说,我的意思是说,我的意思是说,我的意思是说,我的意思是说,我的意思是说,我的意思是我的意思。”逻辑分析:在语言类比中分析词的基因:结果解释是否存在于两种语言之间?作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:作者简介:Verdere ontsluitings van taaltoetsontwerp word vollediger hanteer in 'n opvolgartikel。北京的文章试图分析如何将这些问题与如何解决这些问题联系在一起,并将其与其他问题联系在一起。

How do religious faith and human understanding relate to each other? On this question there is no consensus, nor has there ever been in the past. The history of Western philosophy confronts us with a complex diversity of views that grew into more or less indisputable standard positions. These positions are not the strict result of theoretical reflection. Their acceptance is largely based on pre-theoretical considerations, the self-evidence of a spiritual intuition or religious motivation. The different views of the realtionship of religion and reason can be grouped into a limited number of basic models or motifs. This essay will discuss seven of them as they arose in the Christian tradition. I will name them as follows: identification, conflict, subordination, complementarity, foundation, authenticity and transformation. For the sake of brevity the text focuses on the origins and first manifestations of these models. But we will add again and again fragments of further developments to make clear how resilient these models are. They continue to assert themselves even in new periods of time. Their diversity keeps on challenging us, up to the present day, to reconsider the self-evidence of our own position in the debate on religion and reason.

Gardner’s multiple intelligences can directly link with the subjects or the curriculum taught in school. The focus in this paper is on Foundation Phase learners and their personal favourite subjects. In allowing learners to choose what they find the most interesting, the most popular subject is identified and new perspectives are provided on which areas should need attention. The method involved is a quantitative approach incorporating statistics obtained through a Likert scale. 105 participants were involved and interesting views surfaced. Literacy is no longer at the top of the list of most popular subjects, a concern for teachers who aim at teaching learners to read and write as Art is found to be the most popular subject. Fusing Art and other forms of intelligences can be employed as a strategy to teach literacy and popularise it. Opsomming Gardner se onderskeid tussen multi-intelligensie tipes can direk in verband gebring word met die vakke wat op skool onderrig word. Die fokus in hierdie navorsingsstuk is op die Grondslagfase en die leerders se persoonlike gunsteling vakke.

ABSTRACT A peep-hole on big guns; philosophy at Potchefstroom during the past century (1917-2017). Part 3: the elaborators This article is the third in a series of four which outlines the history of philosophy at Potchefstroom during more than a century. Firstly, two main professors, F. Postma and S.O. Los, who taught philosophy up to about 1917 received attention (cf. Van der Walt, 2017). After this first period of reconnoitring followed a second of systematisation by Proff H.G. Stoker and J.A. Taljaard (cf. Van der Walt, 2018). The present contribution covers the third period, viz. that of the further elaboration in various directions of a Christian-reformational philosophy. At the hand of their academic backgrounds, personal interests and publications the following seven heads of the Department of Philosophy (later School of Philosophy) march past: Proff B. Duvenage, N.T. van der Merwe, Pieter G.W. du Plessis, M. Elaine Botha, Johannes J. Venter, followed by an interim without a departmental head, Pieter J.J.S. Potgieter and Michael F. Heyns. This article is aligned with the framework of an extensive evaluative conclusion about the history of philosophy at Potchefstroom during more than a century as reviewed in this series. The fourth and final contribution will discuss the growing tension in the School has, by 2016, arrived at the cross-roads. SAMEVATTING In ʼn reeks van vier artikels is hierdie die derde wat die hooflyne van die geskiedenis van filosofie op Potchefstroom oor meer as ʼn eeu beskrywe (vgl. Van der Walt, 2017 en 2018 vir die vorige twee). Nadat op ʼn tydperk van filosofiese verkenning (tot ongeveer 1917) gelet is, is twee sisteembouers uit die tweede periode bekyk. Nou word nog sewe profiele van hulle opvolgers ten tonele gevoer, wat as verteenwoordigers van ʼn derde periode van die uitbouing van ʼn Christelike filosofie beskou kan word. Die volgende figure passeer die revue: (1) Benoon Duvenage (departementshoof vanaf 1974 tot 1980); (2) Nicolaas Theodor van der Merwe (vanaf ongeveer 1957 dosent en vanaf 1980 tot 1986 departementshoof); (3) Pieter G.W. du Plessis (dosent vanaf 1957 tot 1965 aan die PU verbonde en tussen 1988 en 1989 waarnemende departementshoof); (4) Marthina Elaine Botha (vanaf 1969 dosent en vanaf 1990 tot 1995 departementshoof; (5) Johannes Jacob Venter (vanaf 1970 dosent aan die PU, na ʼn tydperk (1979-1974) by die Universiteit van Fort Hare weer terug aan die PU en vanaf 1996 tot 1998 departementshoof; (6) Vanaf 1999 tot 2001 verloor filosofie sy selfstandigheid deurdat dit demoveer word tot slegs ʼn vakgroep binne een van die nuutgestigte skole, die Skool vir Sosiale en Owerheidstudies waarvan prof Willie van Wyk die direkteur was. (7) Pieter Jacobus Johannes Stephanus Potgieter (vanaf 2001 tot 2008 direkteur van die nuwe Skool vir Filosofie); (8) Michael F. Heyns (vanaf 2002 dosent in Filosofie en vanaf 2009 tot op datum direkteur van die Skool). Hierdie artikel word afgesluit met ʼn breedvoerige evalue
大型火炮上的窥视孔;Potchefstroom在过去一个世纪(1917-2017)的哲学。第三部分:阐释者这篇文章是一系列四篇文章中的第三篇,该系列文章概述了一个多世纪以来Potchefstroom的哲学史。首先,两位主要教授,F. Postma和S.O. Los,他们教授哲学直到大约1917年才受到关注(参见Van der Walt, 2017)。在第一阶段的侦察之后,H.G. Stoker教授和J.A. Taljaard教授进行了第二阶段的系统化研究(参见Van der Walt, 2018)。目前的贡献涵盖了第三个时期,即在基督教改革哲学的各个方向的进一步阐述。在他们的学术背景、个人兴趣和出版物的帮助下,哲学系(后来的哲学学院)的以下七位负责人走过:B. Duvenage教授、N.T. van der Merwe、Pieter G.W. du Plessis、M. Elaine Botha、Johannes J. Venter,接着是没有系主任的临时负责人Pieter J.J.S. Potgieter和Michael F. Heyns。本文与一个广泛的评估结论的框架是一致的,这个框架是关于Potchefstroom在一个多世纪以来的哲学史的,正如本系列所回顾的那样。第四篇也是最后一篇文章将讨论到2016年,学院日益紧张的局势已经到了十字路口。同样的,在德国,范维耶艺术作品是一流的,他的作品是一流的,他的作品是一流的,他是一流的。Van der Walt, 2017 en 2018 vir die vorige twee)。Nadat op tydperk van filosofiese verkenning(1917年以前)是一种花呢,是一种花呢时期的花呢。现在的单词nog sewe provee van hulle opvolgers十tonele gever,正如十五代工人van derde时期的van die一样,van 基督般的filosofie bekou kan单词。(1) Benoon Duvenage(1974年至1980年);(2)尼古拉斯·西奥多·范德默韦(生于1957年,生于1980年至1986年);(3) peter G.W. du Plessis(1957年至1965年),1988年至1989年在美国大学任教;(4)马蒂娜·伊莱恩·波塔(1969年毕业,1990年至1995年毕业);(5)约翰内斯·雅各布·文特尔(生于1970年,任教于美国范德堡大学,1979-1974年)任教于美国范德堡大学,1996年至1998年任教于美国范德堡大学;(6) 1999年至2001年1月,上海上海大学学院系自自立学院系研究生院研究生院院长、研究生院院长、研究生院院长、研究生院院长、研究生院院长、研究生院院长、研究生院院长、研究生院院长、研究生院院长。(7) Pieter Jacobus Johannes Stephanus potgiter(2001 - 2008年导演:van die nuwe Skool vir Filosofie);(8) Michael F. Heyns(2002年12月发表于filosoffie; 2009年12月发表于van die school)。分级文章中提到的“茄子”一词达到了育种性评价标准;“茄子”一词达到了“茄子”一词的标准;“最后一次(vierde)”是指“最后一次(vierde)跨越”(自2010年以来),“最后一次(vierde)跨越”是指“最后一次(vierde)跨越”,即“最后一次(vierde)跨越”。

Abstract: The Church Order of 1962 of the Dutch Reformed Church: connected to the rest of life with a feeling for the whole of creation? The Church Order of 1962 was the first church order accepted by the new General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church. Apart from the fact that it tried to be an order according to Holy Scripture and the Three Formulas of Unity as reformed confessions of faith, it contains articles based on norms revealed outside the contact and cooperation of the church with the rest of life. Norms revealed out of the pattern of God’s creation in which aspects created with an own character together with other such aspects, form an integrated whole. An aspect will lead a human act and use the core of other aspects to form norms for the act mentioned. The Church Order of 1962 is investigated from article 1 till 70. The question in the title is answered in the affirmative. This Church order is connected to the rest of life and contains articles to confirm this. Opsomming: Die eerste kerkorde van die nuwe Algemene Sinode van die Ned Geref Kerk in 1962 poog om Bybels en belydenismatig te wees.

摘要:1962年荷兰归正教会的教令:以一种对整个创造的感觉与生命的其余部分联系在一起?1962年的教会秩序是新成立的荷兰归正教会总会议所接受的第一个教会秩序。除了试图根据圣经和三个统一的公式作为改革的信仰告白,它包含了基于规范的条款,这些规范是在教会与其他生活的接触和合作之外揭示的。规范是从上帝创造的模式中揭示出来的,在这种模式中,具有自己的特征的方面与其他这样的方面一起形成一个完整的整体。一个方面会引导一个人的行为,并利用其他方面的核心来形成该行为的规范。从第1条到第70条对1962年的《教会法令》进行了调查。题目中的问题得到了肯定的回答。这个教会秩序与生活的其余部分相连,并包含确认这一点的文章。opsoming: Die eerste kerkorde van Die nuwe Algemene Sinode van Die Ned Geref Kerk于1962年从bybeles在belbeles进行的研究中得出结论。从一开始,我就知道自己是如何看待世界的,如何看待上帝,如何看待世界的,如何看待世界的,如何看待世界的,如何看待世界的。Hiernaas weerspieël dit norme soos blootgelê deur die samehang van die kerk会见die res van die lewe的geskape werklikheid。“我的意思是,我的意思是,我的意思是,我的意思是,我的意思是,我的意思是,我的意思是,我的意思是。”“Lewe像男人一样处理问题”,他说的是一种礼貌的语言,他说的是一种礼貌的语言,他说的是一种礼貌的语言。Die Kerkorde van 1962年的单词van artikel 1到70是同一个变化的名称。在标题词中有一个词是谓语词。内德·格里夫·克尔克在同一条路上遇到了他的朋友。

Abstract: Discovering “old” values: What does John Calvin have to contribute to new Learning Organisations? Modern organisations are subjected to increasing demands to provide space for employees and members to find purpose, meaning and sense in what they do every day. This article aims to connect John Calvin’s ideas related to calling and self-denial as principle with the needs of organisations to accommodate staff members’ need to be meaningfully engaged with the work they do in the context of the idea of Learning Organisations. This is done by briefly pointing to the disillusionment of postmodern society with the modernistic forces of rationalism, linear thinking, bureaucratisation and standardisation which have led to the dehumanisation of organisations and ultimately the world of work. It is also indicated that a new trend in organisational thinking is the development of the concept of a Learning Organisation. The Learning Organisation idea is a break with modern bureaucratic and hierarchical thinking. The aim is then to link these relatively new two streams of ideas with the views which John Calvin articulated about the calling or vocation of the faithful and their relationship with their fellow humans. The conclusion is that for the faithful the Learning Organisation and acknowledgement of their spiritual contribution is an opportunity to claim the workplace as territory to be in the service of others (as explained in Chapter 7 of Book 3 of the Institutes – and effectively in service of God) and to experience work as a true vocation and calling. Opsomming: Ontdekking van “ou” waardes: Wat kan Johannes Calvyn bydra tot nuwe Leerorganisasies? Moderne organisasies kry te doen met toenemende eise om ruimte te voorsien vir werknemers en lede van die organisasies waarin hulle doel, betekenis en waarde kan sien in wat hulle elke dag doen. Hierdie artikel poog om Johannes Calvyn se idees van roeping en selfverloëning as beginsel te verbind met die behoefte van organisasies om werknemers betekenisvol betrokke te maak in die werk wat hulle doen in die konteks van die idee van Leerorganisasies. Dit word gedoen deur kortliks te wys op die teleurstelling van die postmoderne samelewing met die modernistiese kragte van rasionalisme, linieêre denke, burokratisering en standardisering wat gelei het tot die ontmensliking van organisasies en uiteindelik die wêreld van werk. Dit wys ook daarop dat ‘n nuwe beweging in organisatoriese denke ontstaan het wat die ontwikkeling van die idee van die Leeroganisasie voorstaan. Die Leerorganisasie konsep verteenwoordig ‘n breuk met moderne burokratiese en hiërargiese denke. Die doel is dan om hierdie relatief nuwe twee strome van idees te verbind met die sienings wat Johannes Calvyn uitgedruk het oor die roeping van gelowiges in die werkplek en hulle verhouding met die medemens. Die gevolgtrekking is dat die gelowiges die Leerorganisasie en erkenning van hulle geestelike bydrae as ‘n geleentheid kan gebruik om die

Hierdie artikel poog om Johannes Calvyn se idees van roeping en selfverloëning as beginsel te verbind met die behoefte van organisasies om werknemers betekenisvol betrokke te maak in die werk wat hulle doen in die konteks van die idee van Leerorganisasies.\u0000Dit word gedoen deur kortliks te wys op die teleurstelling van die postmoderne samelewing met die modernistiese kragte van rasionalisme, linieêre denke, burokratisering en standardisering wat gelei het tot die ontmensliking van organisasies en uiteindelik die wêreld van werk. Dit wys ook daarop dat ‘n nuwe beweging in organisatoriese denke ontstaan het wat die ontwikkeling van die idee van die Leeroganisasie voorstaan. Die Leerorganisasie konsep verteenwoordig ‘n breuk met moderne burokratiese en hiërargiese denke.\u0000Die doel is dan om hierdie relatief nuwe twee strome van idees te verbind met die sienings wat Johannes Calvyn uitgedruk het oor die roeping van gelowiges in die werkplek en hulle verhouding met die medemens.\u0000Die gevolgtrekking is dat die gelowiges die Leerorganisasie en erkenning van hulle geestelike bydrae as ‘n geleentheid kan gebruik om die ","PeriodicalId":38057,"journal":{"name":"Koers","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81915776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
