Metaphysics of love in the religious philosophy of Pável Florensky

This article focuses on the analysis of the concept of love in the religious philosophy of Pavel Florensky, who shares the ontological approach to the consideration of love with other representatives of Russian religious philosophy (N. berdyaev and S. bulgakov). We pay more careful attention to the understanding of love-άγαπαν by Florensky. We have drawn the conclusion that, in the philosophy of P. Florensky, Love, closely connected with truth and beauty, is considered an ontological basis existence of personality. We develop the ideas of Pavel Florensky, and accordingly assume that it is possible to synthesise love-agape and love-eros around the idea of sacrificial love. Agapelogical and erotical ‘bezels’ of one jewel of love is aspects of united love, which is given by God. this gift of God, the gift of united love, is kept by humans through prayer and deeds of love.

Some Remarks on Quality in Interpreting, Interpreting Modes and the Interpreter’s Role

Quality in interpreting is a hotly debated issue whose complexity is determined by a mix of factors. In this article I analyze it in the light of the role played by interpreters, stressing how the constraints imposed by the different interpreting modes, the different roles actually played by professionals (who become more or less visible, even within the same assignment) and the expectations they generate require the adoption of a flexible perspective when it comes to identifying and assessing quality criteria and drafting professional codes that are open enough to adjust to diverse communicative settings and to the dynamic character of quality.
