[Online ISSN 1522-1970] N2 - This study, through the concept of biophilia, examines how we can restore a >love of life< in a world often characterised by rationalisation, destruction, and alienation from self and nature. Specifically, we observe how outdoor adventures during travels might contribute to the development of biophilic feelings. To this end, we employed a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to analyse the narratives from nine participants in the UK, Germany, and Serbia. The findings suggest that adventure activities in the outdoors foster the development of meaningful relationships with the self, other humans and non-human nature, all contributing to the enhancement of eudaimonic wellbeing. The study adds to the tourism literature by arguing that more biophilic and ecological approaches, hitherto underutilised in studying the benefits of tourism from a positive psychology perspective, might serve as a lens through which to explore meaningful social transformation in times of polycrises.

Many Zen scholars, thinkers, psychologists, and countless scholars and Zen practitioners, represented by Hu Shi, D.T. Suzuki, Heinrich Dumoulin, and Erich Fromm, have devoted themselves to the study of Zen. Professor Mingdong Gu, the Kathryn Cissell Chair Professor at the University of Texas at Dallas, is one of the most accomplished. Professor Gu has more than 30 years of experience in Zen practice and more than 20 years of accumulation of Zen theory. After years of cross-cultural comparative exploration of Zen between the East and the West, he has created a new paradigm for studying the nature and basic principles of Zen and Zen enlightenment, and based on this, he has put forward a series of innovative viewpoints.

It is there, in this field, where it is possible to approach how the conflicts that society harbors are expressed in what seems more personal and intimate, since what is lived in one’s own body also expresses, in its own way, something that is outside, in the collective field. From this place we must also think about the unconscious. Y1 - 2025 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Frindte, Wolfgang T1 - Is this still authoritarianism?

N2 - Against the backdrop of a global >authoritarian turn,< the question arises as to what extent social science conceptions of authoritarianism do justice to current social developments and to what extent it is worthwhile to seek additional explanations. After a look at the history of authoritarianism research, various concepts of authoritarianism are discussed: Altemeyer’s >right-wing authoritarianism,< the concept of authoritarianism developed by Decker and colleagues, Sidanius and Pratto’s >social dominance theory,< Duckitt’s >dual process model,< and Amlinger and Nachtwey’s concept of >libertarian authoritarianism.< In addition, Erich Fromm’s concept of >group narcissism< is compared with Tajfel and colleagues’ >social identity approach.< For Erich Fromm, group narcissism is a relatively stable aspect of a social character. Authoritarian group narcissists are exclusively and unscrupulously concerned with their own (and group-related) uniqueness, their power, and their money and therefore shamelessly discriminate against weak and inferior groups. It is therefore discussed whether group narcissism might not be a useful theoretical approach to observe and analyze the elitism of Trumpists and their supporters in addition to existing concepts of authoritarianism. Finally, Erich Fromm’s Theory of the Self is acknowledged as a meta-theoretical framework within which >academic< social psychological theories of identity and the self can also be placed. Therefore, a bridge between >academic< and psychoanalytic social psychology is advocated.

N2 - Erich Fromm not only developed a still-significant approach to social psychology, but he also represented a humanistic understanding of science that is groundbreaking for the social transformations of the present day. The article first attempts to show the religious and philosophical roots of his reception of humanism and then presents the psychological understanding of humanism that he refined and determines its significance for the present day. Fromm psychologically substantiates both the universality of man and his capacity for perfection by reflecting the existential situation of the human being as defined by brain development. With a different view of the unconscious, he then expands the psychological understanding of humanism. Instead of seeing what is unconscious primarily as the result of repression, Fromm understands the unconscious as the universal human being with all facets of human potential. These potentials, however, only become conscious to the extent that social filters enable them to become conscious. Humanism is therefore critical of socially conditioned filters and their alienating dynamics in order to no longer experience the hitherto unconscious realization of the human potential as something alien but as something profoundly one’s own.

[Online ISSN 2000-7426] [rela.ep.liu.se/article/view/5471/4845] [doi.org/10.3384/rela.2000-7426.5471] N2 - The tension between education and emancipation is a recurrent theme in educational philosophy but remains comparatively neglected in critical educational gerontology (CEG). CEG is a philosophical strand in older adult education aiming at the social emancipation of older learners. CEG links radical emancipation to the outcome of raising older learners’ presumed naïve consciousness with the help of an enlightened teacher. In this essay, we argue that the logic of radical social emancipation features theoretical contradictions at its roots, which translate into empirical ambiguities when employed to raise older learners’ consciousness. We address two problems: (1) older learners’ naïve consciousness and (2) its subsequent dependence on teachers’ critical consciousness. To solve these problems, we propose Jacques Rancière’s logic of educational emancipation, focusing on the individual’s capacity to learn by presuming intellectual equality as a pre- condition for learning rather than an outcome as with CEG. By treating this perspective in older adult education, we hope to emancipate CEG itself by refocusing its scope primarily on the educational realm.

N2 - The article presents some ideas about the phenomenality of thoughts. We understand the phenomenal as the pure presence without symbolic (i.e., verbal) determination. In this respect, the phenomenal comprises the imaginary such as images, sounds, smells, tastes, touch and feelings as well as the felt atmosphere (i.e., one's feelings that fill a space beyond the boundary of the body). The phenomenal represents the earliest form of thinking. At this point, a distinction is made between matter (the biological side of thinking) and the ideal (the ideal side of the biological). The line between the two sides can only be conceptualized in an abstract and mathematical way (as a quantum structure). From this basic framework, philosophical and cultural references (e.g., to Nancy's ontology of the body and Claire Denis’ film work), as well as psychoanalytic references (e.g., to the function of the skin), are established.
