Lecture épistémologique et éthique des sociologies du quotidien

The «everyday» is not the direct object of any one human science. It is rather a kind of substrata within each discipline. But, on reflection, is not the notion of the everyday capable of challenging the currently established division of knowlege? Sarting from this question, the author of this article proposes some epistemological and ethical reflections which initiate a pro cess of inter-disciplinarity or even trans-disciplinarity. His remarks must therefore be understood as an attempt to compare what is stated by «theories of the everyday» and certain reflec tions found in philosophical and theological ethics.

Ethical Reflections

AbstractThe thoughts presented here describe the »Reality« of money and its Connections, in the sense oft he point of attachment, to an ethic of »Money«. The respective theological remarks to the descriptions integrate, strenghten and interpret these and thus present perspectives for the handling of money without, however, providing handling methods. A functional view of the social and economic sciences is not sufficient for a description of money by means of (the theological) ethics. Although ethics must have knowledge of this »Rationality«, yet the many methods of talking of and money are an indication for ethical reflections that behind the functional reality of money there lurks an »Ethical« dimension (money, wealth, power;justice, goodness, solidarity; time is money, insatiability, magic, idolatry of money) which require tobe deciphered and interpreted.

Ethical Reflections

In recent decades, a growing number of theologians have discussedthe challenges and opportunities facing the Christian church as Western societies have become increasingly pluralistic. In a number of articles and books, various issues relating to this situation have been discussed. In continuation of this conversation, the article demonstrates that a tradition for a strong emphasis on the universality of theological ethics has existed in the Danish theological tradition, which is exemplified by reference to Martin Luther, Nikolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig and Knud Ejler Løgstrup. Then, the article presents some empirical and theological arguments for the necessity of a stronger articulation of the particularity of theological ethics. Finally, the article shows how a theological position which expresses the particularity of theological ethics, while at the same time maintaining its universal basis, can contribute with some instructive and constructive perspectives on theological ethical reflections in a pluralistic society.

Abstract. Research on age differences in media usage has shown that older adults are more likely than younger adults to select positive emotional content. Research on emotional aging has examined whether older adults also seek out positivity in the everyday situations they choose, resulting so far in mixed results. We investigated the emotional choices of different age groups using video games as a more interactive type of affect-laden stimuli. Participants made multiple selections from a group of positive and negative games. Results showed that older adults selected the more positive games, but also reported feeling worse after playing them. Results supplement the literature on positivity in situation selection as well as on older adults’ interactive media preferences.
