Choroba psychiczna - cierpienie, które zmieniło prawo
Get PDFThroughout history, patients of psychiatric institutions were often treated improperly. These individuals were isolated, humiliated and excluded. On the other hand treatment frequently contravenes the subjective/agentrelative positions and rights of people with mental disorders in implementing so-called positive changes. The perception of improper handling of cited group of patients sometimes constituted the beginning stage of the activities, aimed at taking responsible care of people with schizophrenia or depression. That concern also has a unique character, involving the necessity to continue to take coercive action against the patient. The paper is intended to depict the past and current situation of psychiatric institution patients. It will also present the fundamental principles that currently exist for the protection of the rights of people treated in these hospitals
Misrecognized Violence against Women and Perpetrated by Women. Seeking Remedies
Get PDFThis paper explores the misrecognition of women\u27s experience with violence in order to understand better what kinds of approaches to the problem would make it possible to design successful strategies for the prevention of violence. Violence itself, as well as common misconceptions regarding its mechanisms, carries ramifications that go far beyond direct and physical injury. The prevalence of violence and lack of social awareness regarding its mechanisms result in limitations to the social participation of many individuals and groups. Among the groups affected, women have an important place, both due to their number and the way that femininity relates to and disturbs other identities

Cultivating Moral Competence of Chinese Undergraduates with KMDD-Sessions
Get PDFThis study describes the results of interventions with the Konstanz Method of Dilemma Discussion (KMDD) by Georg Lind, with 89 economics undergraduate participants sampled from Guangdong province. The participants’ mean C-score in the Moral Judgment Test increased only a little because of the teacher’s little experience in using KMDD, but otherwise the intervention produced good results: the participants showed great interest in KMDD although this teaching method is very different from the typical Chinese teaching, and they enjoyed the KMDD-sessions and the classroom atmosphere created through it. Students’ feedback will be useful for future application and research on KMDD in China
The Concept of the \u27New Soviet Man\u27 As a Eugenic Project: Eugenics in Soviet Russia after World War II
Get PDFThis article penetrates the idealistic, Marxist concept of the \u27new Soviet man\u27, linking it with the notion of eugenics. Departing from a reconstruction of the history and specificity of the eugenic movement in Russia since the late 19th century until the installation of Joseph Stalin as the only ruler of the Soviet Union, Lysenkoism paradigm of Soviet natural sciences is being evoked as a theoretical frame for Soviet-specific eugenic programme. Through referring to a number of chosen – both theoretical (classic Marxist works) and practical (chosen aspects of Soviet science and internal politics) – issues and cases, the concept of the \u27new Soviet man\u27 is being confronted with an original reading of eugenics, understood in neo-Lamarckian terms of direct shaping human beings through environmental conditions (comprehending the GULag system of labour camps, pseudo-medical experiments and other) and intergenerational transfer (through inheritance) of acquired traits
Action, objective, intersubjectivity: towards a theory of social action
Get PDFThe reflection on intersubjectivity is a central question in the contemporary philosophical debate. In this field, current practical philosophy faces one of the most difficult challenges. Apparently, the research for a foundation of the intersubjective level seems to lead inevitably towards the abandonment of the logical-foundation theory on which the philosophy had been based up until Hegel. In this report, however, I would like to attempt something different. That is, I would like to explore the possibility of inserting the subject of intersubjectivity right into the heart of Hegelian thinking, with an aim to outline the foundation of a social action theory capable of exhibiting reasons stronger than those deriving from simple dialogic validation. It is possible, as Ho sle believed, that Hegel himself did not take this aspect of the profound dynamics of his thought too seriously, and that he had not prepared the notional categories to be able to think about it in depth. Nevertheless, the theoretical foundations of intersubjectivity, brought back to its Hegelian roots, is the fundamental cornerstone upon which to build the logical-rational foundations of social actio
On Reyes Mate’s Theory of the Victim: Metaethical Sketches on Injustice
Get PDFThe aim of our paper is twofold. Firstly, very original approach to the question of victims elaborated very thoroughly by Reyes Mate is presented. Unfortunately, his conceptualization of victimology is relatively little known outside Spanish and Latin American culture. It is meant as a basis for adequate theory of injustice and justice. Secondly, comprehensive and detailed metaethical analyses of fundamental concepts used by Reyes Mate are developed here by means of standard methods, i.e. triangle, hexagon, and octagon of logical oppositions
Was ist Zeit, Herr Tarô Urashima? Denkerziehung mit dem klassischen Bilderbuch
Get PDFIn diesem Beitrag stellen wir eine Unterrichtseinheit zur Zeit vor. Die Relevanz dieses Artikels liegt darin, dass heute der Umgang mit der Zeit zu den entscheidenden Faktoren einer hohen Lebensqualität zählt. Als theoretische Sachanalyse wird in die philosophischen Dimensionen der Zeit eingefü hrt, sowie in das Zusammenspiel der biologischen, geographischen, kosmischen und kulturellen Faktoren die die Zeitwahrnehmung beeinflusst. Als praktisches Modell dient das philosophische Gespräch mit Kindern ü ber die Zeit aus der Praxis von Eva Zoller. Da es fü r die Denkfähigkeit der Kinder relevant ist, ü ber die Zeit nachzudenken, stellen wir fü r die Lehrerinnen und Lehrer auch eine Unterrichtseinheit mit dem Bilderbuch: „Taro Urashima“ vo
