Historical and Contemporary Background
2016
The second chapter provides a brief historical background of fundamental motivation by focussing on two main themes given in chronological order. The first adopts a historical approach, identifying several theoretical traditions and influential theorists who have worked on the idea of fundamental motivation. This brief overview includes ideas preceding the rise of evolutionary theory and the subsequent emergence of such contemporary theoretical traditions as psychoanalysis, behaviourism and humanistic psychology. The second theme centres on the identification of the most recent contemporary contributions that are quite similar to the main ideas of this book. The concluding section comments …
Aksjologiczne aspekty wychowania
2017
<p>Artykuł ukazuje problematykę dotyczącą aksjologicznego aspektu wychowania, jest poszukiwaniem odpowiedzi na pytanie: Jak wychowywać młodego człowieka, by potrafił poruszać się w przestrzeni aksjologicznej, umiał odkrywać, tworzyć, akceptować wartości w poszukiwaniu swojego miejsca w świecie?

At the same time, each technological device can be considered social born out of a complex process of invention, implementation, distribution and domestication by users (Hirsch and Silverstone 2004; Lasen 2013). Since recent technical developments have made possible rather detailed technical mimicking of human beings and their social features, and incorporating them in silicon chips, there is a pronounced need to understand to what extent the humanness can be implanted in social robots. This is also an occasion to think over and discuss what the human is when considered in this conte…
The Philosophical Underpinning of Athlete Lifestyle Support : An Existential-Humanistic Perspective
2022
This study aims to highlight how an existential-humanistic perspective can inform athlete support and in doing so, emphasise the importance of explicating the philosophical underpinnings of athlete lifestyle support. Drawing on applied experience with elite youth cricketers over a twelve-month period, ethnographic data was collected through the observation, maintenance of case notes and a practitioner reflective diary. Based on thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006), we created three non-fictional vignettes that we use to illustrate how existential-humanistic theorising can inform lifestyle support. We discuss the implications of this professional philosophy in terms of considerations for…
