Drawing on Fromm's critique of Freud's analysis of Dora, but also going further, I argue that associating Fromm and contemporary feminist thought is particularly important in the context of growing authoritarianism on the right and sometimes as reflected also on the left. The article elaborates upon five points of 'psychosocial compatibility' between Fromm's humanistic vision and the ideas of several well-known feminist theorists including Simone de Beauvoir, Nancy Chodorow, Jessica Benjamin and others. The five points of psychosocial compatibility addressed between From and contemporary feminisms as addressed here are: connecting the personal and the political while stressing the prefigurative; kindred issues concerning objectification and self-love; emphases on relatedness and the pre-oedipal stage of human development; concerns about multi-dimensionality and intersectionality; and shared political beliefs aimed at overcoming gender and other oppressive inequalities.}, language = {en} } @article{ChancerMcLaughlin, author = {Chancer, Lynn S. and McLaughlin, Neil}, title = {Why Fromm now?

In the twentieth century, the social structure of America changed greatly due to the development of capitalism, and the conflict caused by the cultural difference between the North and the South forms one of the common themes in Williams' works. With the prevalence of capitalism and the change of modern mainstream ideology, those who have changed some of the old ideas, whereas have not been completely assimilated into modern thought, represented by Shannon, are portrayed as the social marginals struggling with inner contradictions in Williams' works. Based on Erich Fromm's theory of freedom, this thesis interprets >The Night of the Iguana< by analyzing Shannon's contradictory thoughts and behaviors in his process of pursuing individual freedom. It attempts to present how the marginalized people in modern capitalist society realize the freedom of individual's full expression of his real personality by resisting the spiritual paralysis and oppression in society. This thesis consists of three parts. Firstly, it analyzes the protagonist's self-consciousness against social knowledge, and explores the way to get rid of the automaton conformity by revealing the protagonist's subversion of several stereotyped images perceived by the society. Subsequently, it discusses how Shannon establishes non-utilitarian interpersonal relationship under the influence of modern capitalist society. Then this thesis focuses on the natural setting in the play, exploring how the marginalized people who are isolated due to social exclusion build their secondary bonds with nature, so as to obtain spiritual salvation. Shannon's pursuit of individual freedom exposes the shackles that the mainstream ideology of capitalist society imposes on modern people's individuality. In addition, his exploration of both the internal and external world provides the possibility to break the shackles and realize the freedom of individual's full expression of his real personality.

Of special interest to psychologists interested in Heidegger's methodology is the re-translation of the introduction to >Being and Time<. In >History of the Concept of Time: Prolegomena<, Heidegger elaborates the methodological and foundational connection of his work to Brentano, Dilthey, and Husserl, thus providing for the first time an authoritative understanding of the relationship of his uniquely hermeneutic phenomenology to the ideas of his predecessors.

In >Human inquiry: A Sourcebook of New Paradigm Research<, Reason and Rowan cover the philosophy, methodology, practice, and prospects of what the editors call >new paradigm research<: alternative approaches to human science research that are both collaborative and experiential. >Reading Heidegger: Commemorations< is a richly provocative book of essays by an impressive list of 23 Heidegger scholars around the world. This text celebrates, reconsiders, and sometimes pokes fun at one of the most controversial and most important thinkers of our century. Finally, written in response to Heidegger's >The Essence of Truth<, Jean-Paul Sartre's >Truth and Existence provides a bridge between Sartre's >Being and Nothingness< and his >Critique of Dialectical Reason.

Pornographic realism, which is the contemporary form of pornographic representation, is based on technological innovations such as photographic and digital recording of sexual reality. The description of the character of the two forms of recording demonstrates the historical development of pornographic realism. Moving away from pure psychology, we can discern in the field of human sciences the specificity of the relations between pornography and stress reduction through the distinction between the Principle of Pleasure (Lustprinzip) and the Principle of Reality (Realit{\"a}tsprinzip) at the collective level or otherwise in the space of the co-being (Mitsein). On the other hand, the distance of sexual need from hunger and the plasticity of the former makes pornography a practicable way of dealing with the contradictions of ordinary existence. In sum, the above articulation explains how pornography makes the world of sexual satisfaction go hand in hand with coping with and managing stress.}, language = {en} } @article{AraoSilvadeJesus, author = {Ar{\~a}o Silva de Jesus, Cristian}, title = {Liberdade como ess{\^e}ncia humana: o problema do sujeito no jovem Marx}, series = {Revista Idea{\c{c}}{\~a}o, Vol. 1, No. 39 (2019), pp. 167-177.

Social character is considered not as a typical (modal) individual character in society. As a systemic formation of social interactions, social character has non-additive (emergent) properties. Both individuals and various social communities are subjects of social character. At the individual level, social character is manifested as typical behavior traits in the process of communicating with different social groups. At the level of interpersonal, intergroup and mass communication, social character is a typical form of social interaction. Social character is the result of the mutual influence of subjects on individual behavior in the form of persuasion, suggestion, imitation and infection. The article analyzes the methods of measuring social character. It presents a test developed by one of the authors (R. B Shaikhislamov) to measure the degree of inner-, tradition- and other- directedness (according to D. Riesman' stypology). The results of the measurement of social character in the course of interviewing residents of the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2015-2016 are presented. The authors come to the conclusion about the need for a comprehensive study of social character. The following problems are of great scientific interest. What are the emergent properties of social character in stable and unstable social situations? What are the trends of changes in the social character of Russians in the post-Soviet era? How significant are the differences in the social character of different generations, ethnic groups, residents of megacities, other cities and villages? We note that it is necessary to develop a system of indicators to measure social character. In addition to such indicators as inner-, tradition- and other-directedness, it is necessary to measure social character by such variables as >dominance - subordination<, >productivity - non- Productivity<, >responsibility - irresponsibility<, >cooperation - isolation<, >trust - distrust<, >Conformity - Innovation - Ritualism - Retreatism - Rebellion<.}, language = {en} }
