A Third Emerging Stage for the Current Digital Society? Optimal Parenting Styles in Spain, the United States, Germany, and Brazil
2019
We propose a new paradigm with three historical stages for an optimal parenting style (i.e., indulgent parenting style), which extends the traditional paradigm of only two stages (i.e., authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles). The three stages concur, at the same time, in different environments, context, and cultures. We studied the third stage for optimal parent&ndash
Minding the Gaps : The Role of Finnish Civil Society Organizations in the Labour Market Integration of Migrants
2021
AbstractThe growing role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in welfare service provision is sometimes portrayed as a threat to welfare state universalism in Nordic societies. In Finland, CSOs co-produce integration services alongside comprehensive official integration programmes, compensating for gaps and shortcomings in those services. We identify three “gaps”, which are (1) limited availability of services in terms of time and target group, (2) lack of direct labour market contacts and (3) limited flexibility to serve individual needs. We assess how CSOs target these gaps with their service offerings through qualitative interviews with policy implementers, CSO workers and migrants. How…
Nationalism and Power behind the Communitarian Premises: a Critique from Habermas’ Cosmopolitanism
2016
In order to endorse political cosmopolitanism we will undertake a critical analysis of the main four premises that support communitarianism: the ontological one, the instrumental one, the ethical one, and the moral-psychological one (1). Then, we warn that communitarianism usually serves as support for nationalist theoretical proposals that just care about the socio-economic interests of their own countries (2). In response to communitarianism, we offer some answers from a cosmopolitan moral approach. However, we conclude that this approach is also insufficient (3). In conclusion, we argue that only a legal and political cosmopolitanism could honor moral universalism (4). Normal 0 21 false …
The Conditions of Philosophy in Totalitarian and Post-Totalitarian Poland
1997
This compound paper presents the views of two Polish philosophers on the strong international pressures influencing the development of Polish philosophy in recent times. The first part, by Leszek Koczanowicz, treats the philosophical situation and problems of totalitarian Poland under the influence of Soviet Marxism, while the second part, by Adam Chmielewski, focuses on the main trends and difficulties of post-totalitarian Poland, dominated by Western influence.
Ethics and economics, friends or foes? An educational debate
2004
This paper reviews an ongoing debate about moral standards for vocational education in German speaking countries. At the centre of the controversy is the question of universalistic versus domain‐specific moral orientations, namely the question of whether business people ought to develop different moral points of view in different situations (such as ‘private’ versus ‘professional’). Of pivotal importance in this context is also a prominent ethical approach (by Karl Homann, a philosopher in the tradition of liberal economists) which serves as a foundation for those who advocate domain specificity and which is strongly criticized by their counterparts. This approach is also presented, since t…
Universalisti vai suoriutuja : suomalaisten jakautuminen Shalon Schwartzin arvotypologiaan sosiodemografisten taustamuuttujien valossa
2015
Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää kuinka suomalaiset jakautuvat sosiodemografisten taustamuuttujien mukaan sosiaalipsykologi ja arvotutkija Shalom Schwartzin kymmmenen arvon arvotypologiaan. Sosiodemografisina taustamuuttujina tutkimuksessa ovat mm. ikä, sukupuoli, tulotaso sekä työantajasektori. Tarkoituksena on tarkastella vaikuttavatko nämä sosiodemografiset taustamuuttujat siihen millaisiin arvoihin suomalaiset samaistuvat. Aihe on sosiologisesti tärkeä ja relevantti, sillä viime vuosina valtamediassa yleistynyt keskustelu arvojen kovenemisesta, katoamisesta tai vääristymisestä viestii siitä, että jotain muutosta on tapahtumassa yhteiskunnassa. Arvoja tutkimalla tuotetaan tarkkaa tieto…
Libertà e diritti tra India e Europa. Per un approccio genealogico ai valori culturali
2009
Freedom and Rights between India and Europe. A Genealogical Approach to Cultural Values - This paper will deal with the issue of human rights and multiculturalism away from cultural relativism and universalism while taking inspiration from Nietzsche’s Moral Genealogy. In particular, the concepts of karma, dharma and trivarga (an indian traditional form of particularism in the law) will be explained as they are expressed in the Bhagavad Gita, one of the most important texts of Indian philosophical literature. From this analysis it will emerge the impossibility of deducing the idea of human rights from the Sanskrit text. Not because the Bhagavad Gita adopts a communitarian conception of the s…
Sull’universalità dei diritti umani
2003
Nei pressi della locuzione ‘diritti umani’, in espressioni ordinarie e in celebri documenti, si trova spesso l’aggettivo ‘universale’. E tale aggettivo, apparentemente rassicurante ma tutto fuorché indiscusso, sarà il tema di questo decimo numero di «Kykéion». Si noti dapprima la polisemia del termine ‘universale’: in una prima accezione, significa ‘esteso a tutti’, di cui ciascuno partecipa e, riferito specificamente ai diritti umani, indica che questi dovrebbero essere riconosciuti a tutte le genti e ad ogni uomo, senza discriminazioni né eccezioni; che non dovrebbero essere il privilegio di individui particolari, di status speciali o di nazioni più agiate. In una seconda accezione, la vo…
