Although the existence of fake news can be found in the last decade, this subject succeeded to impose and gain coverage among the current research topics, becoming important through the harmful effects it can produce, but also through its continuous dynamics and evolution.

In this article, we proposed an ethical analysis of the actors involved in digital communication, starting from the communication model developed by David Berlo. Thus, we identified the sources of transmission of a message, the characteristics of the message, the channels through which it is transmitted and which are the possible recipients, asking...

In this paper, we made a distinction between the concept of fake news and the phenomenon of fake news. Since there are several definitions of fake news, we noticed that the concept is often confused with the phenomenon. Using the philosophical method proposed by R.G. Collingwood, we proved that fake news can be approached as a philosophical concept...

This paper explores the books, articles and developments of philosophical counseling in the Romanian cultural space. To accomplish this, we first discussed some of the highlights of philosophical counseling and noted that it differs from other types of counseling. We also identified the main Romanian translations in this field in order to see how p...

Fake news concern has caught the attention of the researchers by the necessity to identify solutions in order to combat this phenomenon. Thus, intervention in the field of ethics could be a possible solution. Therefore, we propose to update, rethink and reformulate the imperative of responsibility of Hans Jonas in the era of fake news. In order to...

The interpretation of written texts demands from the reader a certain her-meneutic methodology of reading. In this paper we aim to propose the logic of question and answer constructed by the British philosopher Robin George Collingwood as such an instrument. We seek to demonstrate his thesis through the four objectives we set out in this paper, nam...

Ever since it was developed, the internet facilitated communication between individuals and created new ways of interaction by removing the barriers of space and time. Nowadays, people have a wide range of social networks which they can use for various purposes, one of the most popular social networks being Facebook. In this regard, people in gener...

In the present paper we propose a preliminary discussion on the narrative identity underlying the constitution of the self in the thought of the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur by relating his hermeneutics of the self to philosophical counseling, which implies the need to discuss the respondent self in the face of sacred texts. The goal of self-und...

This study explores the application of ethics in preventing and combating fake news by proposing a so-called ethical way, which can be understood as a set of standards and principles by which different agents act and make decisions so that they are morally right and just. Thus, starting from a distinction structured on several levels (individual, s...

Starting from the four principles of Pólya's problem-solving method, by analogy, in this paper we propose a new method of philosophical counseling. Thus, the objectives of this study are as follows: the review of several methods of philosophical counseling; justifying the need for a new method, which we called the IPAA method; developing the four p...

The aim of our study is to provide an overview of the concept of metaphysics as conceived by the British philosopher Robin George Collingwood and argue that his method still holds practical implications for contemporary philosophers. According to Collingwood, metaphysics is the science – that is, the knowledge – of the absolute presuppositions of a...

In this paper, we aim to demonstrate that Robin George Collingwood"s thesis on understanding the past through rethinking has hermeneutical consequences that can be instrumental in approaching and understanding philosophical texts. We are concerned not only with understanding the historical past, but also with understanding the wider context in whic...

Una dintre problemele eticii aplicate în cercetare socială este că a devenit un subiect banalizat, acțiunile fiind realizate în mod mecanic, ca de la sine înțelese, parte din demersuri birocratizate impuse de universități, finanțatori sau alte organizații partenere. Prin demersul de față ne propunem să reactualizăm principalele probleme pe care le...
