Life on earth


Explanation:
Tiesą sakant, nežinau tikslaus termino. Tačiau jei šiapusybė yra anapusybės (ar egzistavimo anapus) antonimas, tai analogiškai angliškai

"The beyond, afterlife, eternity, hereafter"

antonimais galėtų būti

"Life of earth, existence on earth, (entity on earth?)".

Asker: Taip, manau, kad "šiapusybė" (šiapus) yra termino "anapusybė" (anapus) antonimas

(a) focus on life in this world


Explanation:
Rasa, verkiant reikia daugiau konteksto.

Kita vertus, galbūt šiapusybė tokia ir tegali būti ir tik tokią ją gali matyti būdamas joje, nesvarbu – tiki anapusybe ar ne?

Psalmisto žodžiuose tarsi susilieja šiapusybė ir anapusybė, jis jau pilnai gyvena amžinojo gyvenimo viltimi, kuri keičia žemiškojo gyvenimo dabartį.

Iš šių dviejų citatų, atrodo, kad „šiapusybė“ reiškia "(a) focus on life in this world" (rather than on "the next life").

Rasa, jeigu norite vieno žodžio vertimo, gal "secularism" (o priešprieša yra "spiritualism"). Bet ar netinka versti "a focus on life in this world"?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Na, šiapusybė terminas yra dažnai naudojamas "filosofijoje" kaip antonimas terminui "anapusybė" (nuo žodžio "anapus"). Tiesiog niekaip nesugalvoju, kaip jį išversti.

neutral  Inga Jokubauske: Manau, sąvokos "šiapusybė, anapusybė" nereiškia asmens sąvokos apie gyvenimą čia ar ten, tai yra tiesiog būtis, o ne asmens supratimas apie būtį. Todėl nereikalingas "focus on..." aspektas, pakanka tiesiog siūlomo life on this earth.

agree  diana bb: Indeed. 'Here and now' as šiapusybė, and 'beyond' as anapusybė. As a noun, it would be 'the here and now'.
