Пилигрим ставаш, си и оставаш... Великият Гьоте казва, че съзнанието на Европа се е родило в пилигримството. Тъкмо пилигримите са помогнали за оформяне на географията на спасението: техните маршрути, техните връзки и открития са създали географска карта на свещеното, а пешеходното пилигримство до Сантяго де Компостела може да се преживее и като дълга медитация върху Европа. Чрез него ценности, едновременно християнски и човешки, като достойнство на човешката личност, чувство за справедливост и свобода, стремеж към труд, предприемачески дух, любов към семейството и уважение към живота, толерантност и желание за мир, ... |

The beginnings of Sofia University may be traced back to the year 1888, ten years after the end of the Russian-Turkish War, which had begun in 1877, and which resulted in a recreated Bulgarian state re-emerging on the map of Europe. The state was small in territory, as well as in population. The capital, Sofia, numbered not more than 20,000 inhabitants. However, in this semi-oriental city, a Higher Pedagogical Course was started in 1888, and it was this that later grew into a modern higher education institution. The subsequent founding of the University was a single act, but behind it stood ages of history. ... |

Cognitive errors are systematic deviances from rationality, from optimized, logical, rational thinking and behavior. We make these errors all the time, in all ... |
