ACTALOGI is an unaffiliated personal weblog bounded by nothing but the truth.

the approach is neither academic, nor journalistic, news are not made here!

the objective is to factually discuss contemporary leitmotivs of global inheritance;

the editorials include a section reserved for commentaries composed in Turkish.

WELTANSCHAUUNG

ethical integrity is interpreted as a resolute adoption of secular precepts governing modern democracies guided by free and rationally enlightened individuals of unfeigned laical disposition and goodwill;

fairness is interpreted as a consistent state of being free from self-interest, prejudice, or favoritism;

self-esteem is a sign of moral strength that prohibits regarding the adversary of an opponent as an ally unless there is reasonable agreement in universally humanitarian principles.

PRINCIPIA

rationality is the foremost sign of human intelligence — self-governance can under no circumstances be guided by irrational convictions or unverifiable revelations, but only through constructive rational deliberations among equal participators with demonstrable goodwill and willingness to cooperate;

enlightenment is the only human condition that can successfully foil attempts of mind enslavement — unquestioned servitude or submission to the authority or control of another, on religious, tribal or ideological justification, is the self-denial of an honorable human existence;

evolution is an observable natural phenomenon — any archaic indisposition that repudiates it in defense of its untenable dogmas is a prejudicious deviancy for perpetuating philistinism.

SEMANTIC COHERENCE

explicit or implicit meanings of terms in the living lexicon of any language must be completely free of deeply ingrained presumptions — accurate use of a modern vocabulary, fully consistent with the universal knowledge base within the compass of the rational, is an unequivocal indispensability;

meanings of faith and religion in the lexicons of theology have invariably been distorted by such ingrained presumptions — commonly misstated concepts of 'faith' and 'religion' have historically been used for perpetuating the rule of anachronistic oligarchies intent on suppressing the rise of the rational individual;

this website adopts the following definitions for semantic coherence

faith is exclusively private belief(s) of an individual with regard to life and its cosmic relevance,

religion is a particular order of persuasion upheld by an oligarchic establishment for earthly gains against its rivals,

persuasion is a strong spiritual conviction ordained by the dogmas of a religious establishment.
