In her final book, >Environmental Culture< as well as elsewhere, Val Plumwood advances the view that sustainability should properly be seen as emergent from an ecofeminist partnership ethic of nourishment and support between humans and nonhuman nature, and that such an ethic must replace the characteristic institutional structures and dominant conceptions of rationality found in capitalist modernity. In making this case, Plumwood impressively charts the impact and significance of the expansionist, exclusionary models of the disembodied but appropriative self found in Cartesian and Lockean thought along with the impact of private property doctrines derived from this source. However, whilst making reference to eco-socialist alternatives at the broader political level, Plumwood offers no systematic account of property that might dovetail with her wider philosophical concerns. In this paper I attempt to generate the start of such an account, drawing on Plumwood’s own canon and bringing it into relationship with (1) relections on ideas of belonging and culture drawn from a range of thinkers including Erazim Kohák, Erich Fromm, and William James, and (2) the contemporary debate over the relationship between green political thought and the liberal democratic tradition.
In this article culture is viewed in the light of philosophical anthropology. The author analyzed how the term ‘culture’ changed through ages. The author also touched upon the anthropological aspect of culture.
本稿の目的は、エーリッヒ・フロムの「自己実現」論を再構成し、その人間形成論的な可能性を提示することである。フロムはしばしば社会および人間を二つの位相に分けたうえで、片方を持ち上げてもう片方を非難するという論法を採用したが、従来それらは素朴な勧善懲悪的図式として理解される傾向にあった。だがその遺稿から明らかになったフロムによる初期マルクスへの直接的な参照は、そうしたフロムの方法論が決して単純な善悪二元論にはおさまらないことを示唆している。マルクスの言う私有財産の「止揚」プロセスとフロムの想定したこつの様式観が交わりあう過程とをそれぞれのテクストにより突き合わせていくことで、フロムの「自己実現」論は、発達の脱中心化を志向する近年の教育人間学的なモメントを理論レベルにおいて批判的に彫琢しうる、他とのつながりに開かれながらも「自己」へと再帰的に準拠する人間形成論として、新たに定位される。

El culto a la Santa Muerte es una creencia secular que se incrementa con gran rapidez en el México del 2009 actual y la presente tesina trata primeramente del origen de su culto, su relación con la iglesia católica- ortodoxa y sus características. Posteriormente, se analiza este tema desde un enfoque psicoanalítico. En base a la teoría de C.G. Jung, se aclara que el culto es la >sombra(término de Jung)< del neoliberalismo aparecida en el subconsciente colectivo mexicano.También se expone que los aztecas tenían una tendencia hacia la >necrofilia< en su religión primitiva según Erich Fromm. Y como conclusión, planteo cuatro premisas. Primero, el culto actual de Santa Muerte proviene de la tradición europea de la Danza Macabre, no obstante, la iglesia católica no reconoce su legitimidad. Segundo, el culto tiene cuatro principales características: 1. el sintetismo entre lo europeo y lo indígena, 2. el culto que se enfoca más en la vida mundana, 3. el culto como religión del mercado en el sentido de que se comercializa el culto, 4. el pánico por la muerte. Tercero, el culto se propaga por la crisis económica causada por el neoliberalismo. Los marginados que no fueron beneficiarios de la globalización han acogido este culto como >sombra< del neoliberalismo subconscientemente. A pesar de la tradición europea, la tendencia hacia la >necrofilia< ocultada en el subconsciente colectivo de los mexicanos resucita o intensifica esta >sombra<. Cuarto, el culto tiene ambivalencia como tabú. En otra palabras, tiene dos lados positivo y negativo. El positivo radica en que el culto absorbe y consuela a los marginados afectados por la globalización y el negativo es que el culto es una alerta roja a la sociedad mexicana.
[ВЫВОД] Представители этики неофрейдизма про-должают конкретизировать понятие справедли-вости, смягчая наиболее дискуссионные аспек-ты психоаналитической теории З. Фрейда. Они более углубленно исследуют специфику бессо-знательного, связывают его архетипы с коллек-тивными формами, женской психологией (ком-плекс Электры), чувством неполноценности субъекта, ставшего >желающей машиной<, >те-лом без органов<. Стремясь преодолеть шизо-френическую раздвоенность личности, в оче-редной раз поставить деструктивный фактор бессознательного под контроль разума, выра-ботать на этой основе общечеловеческие кри-терии справедливости, неофрейдизм вносит важный вклад в преодоление техногенных про-блем современности.
In this paper we express concerns that the marketisation of British higher education that has accompanied its expansion has resulted in some sections becoming pedagogically limited. We draw from Fromm's humanist philosophy based on >having< to argue that the current higher education (HE) market discourse promotes a mode of existence, where students seek to >have a degree< rather than >be learners<. This connects pedagogic theory to a critique of consumer culture. We argue that a ‘market-led’ university responds to consumer calls by focusing on the content students want at a market rate. It may decrease intellectual complexity if this is not in demand, and increase connections with the workplace if this is desired. Once, under the guidance of the academic, the undergraduate had the potential to be transformed into a scholar, someone who thinks critically, but in our consumer society such ‘transformation’ is denied and ‘confirmation’ of the student as consumer is favoured. We further argue that there is a danger that the new HE's link to business through the expansion of vocational courses in business, marketing and related offerings, inevitably embeds expanded HE in a culture of having. This erodes other possible roles for education because a consumer society is unlikely to support a widened HE sector that may work to undermine its core ideology.
The author analyzed the history of the social institution – family. The author underlined that there were various approaches to that social and cultural matter and discussed S. Freud’s, A. Adler’s and E. Fromm’s conceptions.
Background: In elderly care registered nurses (RNs) and nurse assistants (NAs) face ethical challenges which may trouble their conscience. Objective: This study aimed to illuminate meanings of RNs’ and NAs’ lived experience of troubled conscience in their work in municipal residential elderly care. Design: Interviews with six RNs and six NAs were interpreted separately using a phenomenological hermeneutic method. Settings: Data was collected in 2005 among RNs and NAs working in special types of housings for the elderly in a municipality in Sweden. Participants: The RNs and NAs were selected for participation had previously participated in a questionnaire study and their ratings in the questionnaire study constituted the selection criteria for the interview study. Results: The RNs’ lived experience of troubled conscience was formulated in two themes. The first theme is ‘being trapped in powerlessness’ which includes three sub-themes: being restrained by others’ omission, being trapped in ethically demanding situations and failing to live up to others’ expectations. The second theme is ‘being inadequate’ which includes two sub-themes: lacking courage to maintain one's opinion and feeling incompetent. The NAs’ lived experience of troubled conscience was formulated in the two themes. The first is ‘being hindered by pre-determined conditions’ which includes two sub-themes: suffering from lack of focus in one's work and being restrained by the organisation. The second theme is ‘being inadequate’ which includes two sub-themes: lacking the courage to object and being negligent. Conclusions: The RNs’ lived experience of troubled conscience were feelings of being trapped in a state of powerlessness, caught in a struggle between responsibility and authority and a sense of inadequacy fuelled by feelings of incompetence, a lack of courage and a fear of revealing themselves and endangering residents’ well-being. The NAs’ lived experience of troubled conscience was feelings of being hindered by pre-determined conditions, facing a fragmented work situation hovering between norms and rules and convictions of their conscience. To not endangering the atmosphere in the work-team they are submissive to the norms of their co-workers. They felt inadequate as they should be model care providers. The findings were interpreted in the light of Fromm's authoritarian and humanistic conscience.
Alan Furst's >The Foreign Correspondent< is mainly about the life of Italian intellectuals who had fled Mussolini's fascist government and found uncertain refuge in Paris. Their life is that of >diaspora< since as the etymological meaning of >diaspora< suggests, they had to leave their home country and to lead very precarious lives in a foreign country. Their life is dangerous as well as uncertain because they resisted fascism by publishing clandestine press that smuggled news and resistance messages from Paris back to Italy. Their lives can be traced as the pursuit of freedom. According to Eric Fromm, the freedom can be viewed as >the passive freedom< and >the active freedom<. This paper follows how Carlo Weisz, the main character of this novel, whose job is a foreign correspondent, becomes to achieve the active freedom from the life of passive freedom. As a conclusion, this paper will discuss how Weisz achieves his identity through liberty and love.
이 논문은 주자학의 근본적 곤혹 하나를 파고든 시도이다. 이제까지의 접근과는 달리 혹시 자연과 인간의 엄밀한 이분법 자체가 역사적 산물이 아닐까 하고 접근한다. 세계는 하나이지만 세계관은 여럿이다. 인간은 자신과 환경을 이해하는 수많은 방식을 갖고 있기에, 누구도 독점적 정당성을 고집할 수 없다. 다룰 논점은 두 가지이다. 하나는 인간과 자연의 상관성이고, 또 다른 하나는 자연과 윤리의 미분화이다. 1) 자연의 의인화와 자연-인간동형론의 연원은 오래되었다. 주자학은 기氣의 풀 속에서 인간과 자연은 물리적으로 교환되고 있다고 말한다. 인식론적으로 사태는 주관을 통해서만 알려지며, 그런 점에서 사실과 가치 사이에 엄밀한 선을 그을 수 없다는 것을 참고하자고 했다. 2) 자연과 도덕의 엄밀한 구분은 인간 본성의 불신에 기반하고 있다. 과연 윤리는 자연성의 억압 혹은 극복에서 자라는가. 도덕을 자연적 본성의 확인과 그 실현이라고 생각한 동서의 현자들이 많다. 그들은 주자가 이理를 사물의 질서이자 도덕적 지향으로 읽는 데 거부감을 갖지 않을 것이다. 보통은 납득하기 어렵다. 자신의 본성에 대해 무지하다는 것을 인정하기 어렵기 때문이다.

This short paper concentrates on three powerful ideas introduced by three important theorists, namely, Merton’s interpretation of anomie in America, Fromm’s critical aesthetics regarding man’s consciousness in relation to nature, and finally Du Bois’ concept of the >racial wage< (Lemert, 2004, pp. 218-240). Those theories are then applied to the Japanese phenomenon of the <compensated date< and the Thai >sex industry<.
