On the concept of culture and its sociologization. Ratio versus vis: The author argues against an absolutization of the sociological perspective and its anti‐cultural character. He criticizes the inadequacy of the sociological perspective in relation to the essence of culture, the purest form of which is art. The ideal of art, and its classic conceptualization in European culture, is based on a distinction of two opposite orders: the order of ratio, i.e. the idea, and the order of vis, i.e. force. The sociological approach to culture tends to reduce it to its competence, that is the order of social forces. The author’s critical remarks are provoked by the representative theory of culture, as it is exposed by Piotr Sztompka, the prominent Polish sociologist.

The French Revolution

Kant’s theory of taste supports his political theory by providing the judgment of beauty as a symbol of the good and example of teleological experience, allowing us to imagine the otherwise obscure movement of nature and history toward the ideal human community. If interpreters are correct in believing that Kant should make room for pure judgments of ugliness in his theory of taste, we will have to consider the implications of such judgments for Kant’s political theory. It is here proposed that pure, formal ugliness symbolizes regressive, counter-teleological trends in nature and history. Kant’s paradoxical stance on the right to rebellion, both condemning and supporting the French Revolution, is interpreted as failing to take into account negative social forces signified by ugliness, and therefore neglecting the role of moral agency in social change.

This study examined the ecology of “free gym” as it occurred in both school lunch hour and after-school community settings. In an effort to understand how urban youth experience sport, an ethnography using multiple methods was conducted to ascertain how urban youth shape their own cultures according to the social forces operating within the gymnasium. A period of sustained observation revealed a student-imposed hierarchy that was dominated by skilled male African American basketball players. Status was gained through what occurred within the free-gym ecology. Students often had to learn the system by “serving time” before they could join a desired level of the hierarchy. While a few students thrived in this environment, most merely survived or were marginalized. Such a setting has implications for how physical education and school culture is subjected to wider societal influences. The presence of socially chronic situations such as free gym require a pedagogy that is more democratic and more enriching, thereby moving from the real toward the ideal.

The purpose of this study is to find out the role of the father in the early life of the child and restore the nature of a father who plays a major role in the early life of the child, especially at an early age, namely the age of 0-6 years. In this research, the descriptive method is used with a qualitative approach, with a sociological perspective. A sociological approach to family education relationships can also provide a practical understanding of the role of fathers in early childhood. By using survey data to be analyzed. The results of the study show that survey data from 40 respondents showed that through play activities between fathers and children will develop various kinds of child development after an early age, including social development and emotional development. The presence of the father in the child's early life is not only felt by the child as a happy experience but the mother and father themselves also feel happy when they are involved in the child's early life.

In this study, the author sheds light on the debate about economisation in education from a sociological perspective and answers, among others, the following questions: What does the popular term ‘economisation’ encapsulate? What economic and social forces are driving cuts in spending on education and in educational output? Which forms of social coordination are being suppressed by the advancement of market mechanisms in the education system? Who is involved in the financing and provision of educational services? How does the state, the key provider of education, change during the course of economisation? Although the state has a decisive influence on the distribution of chances in life and on social inequality, the question of the organisation of educational output in Germany is traditionally not addressed from a sociopolitical perspective, a failing that has to be remedied. From an international comparative perspective, Hans Graßl makes sense of the structures of Germany’s conservative state education system, which differs considerably from the liberal and social democratic state education systems found, for example, in the USA and Sweden respectively.

The present brief commentary is focused primarily on a topic which at first appearance might seem tangential, but which nevertheless is of central importance to a sociological study of dissent among the non-Russian people of the Soviet Union, who together make up approximately one-half of that country's total population. Ongoing sociological study of any phenomenon ideally is characterized by a data-theory cycle, where a conceptual or theoretical model or framework helps guide empirical research, and where the social reality manifest in observations or the data collected continually tests and refines the guiding model or framework. The ideal is, of course, rarely attained, a matter most noticeable and pronounced in the study of “Soviet minorities.”

ABSTRACTThis study proposes an analysis of the home interior from a sociological perspective, investigating the changes that occur inside the home as a result of certain social changes in the Benito Juarez district of Mexico City, largely populated by middle class, and linking data from a qualitative study with a theoretical framework, that, regarding the issue of interior space, is relatively recent and has been built from many diverse disciplines. Through the analysis of the evolution of sociodemographic profiles of the population and housing experiences in this part of town, I intend to highlight the existence of new forms of contemporary domesticity, consumption, leisure and living practices that no longer respond to model of the traditional bourgeois house, but to patterns of urban life in which the symbolic experience of the home is adapted to a particular spatial and economic reality. I propose the ideal type, the "relaxed home", in order to better understand the urban lifestyle that has replaced the suburban lifestyle.RESUMENEn este documento se propone un análisis sociológico del interior de la vivienda de clase media urbana mexicana. Concretamente, se indagan los cambios que se producen en el interior de la vivienda como consecuencia de determinados cambios sociales en la Delegación Benito Juárez de la Ciudad de México. Se vinculan los datos de un estudio cualitativo con un marco teórico que, en el tema del espacio interior, es relativamente reciente y se ha ido construyendo desde disciplinas muy diversas. A través del análisis de la evolución de los perfiles sociodemográficos de la población y de las experiencias habitacionales en esta parte de la ciudad, pretendo destacar la existencia de nuevas formas de domesticidad contemporánea, con prácticas de consumo, ocio y convivencia que ya no responden al modelo de la casa burguesa tradicional, sino a patrones de vida urbana en los que la vivencia simbólica del hogar se adapta a una determinada realidad espacial y económica. El tipo ideal que propongo, la “casa distendida”, trata de avanzar en la comprensión de un estilo de vida urbano que ha ido sustituyendo al estilo de vida suburbano con el que se inició la delegación.

The comparison of the strikingly different perspectives on the concepts of “idea”, “the ideal” within works of the two philosophers, separated by ages, uncovers the problem of a relation be-tween “idea” and the phenomena of multiplicity, becoming and movement, also revealing certain possibilities for interpreting “idea” as the principle of liberation from (existing) laws/rules, rather than the pillar of their validity. Herein we intend to demonstrate the potential of interpreting “idea” through the lens of the phenomena of becoming, difference and being as exemplified by A. Badiou’s works. Clarifying such a relation is an important task, because in classical Platonism – as well as in European culture in general – the aspects of immobility and unity of “idea” are emphasized, still creating the impression of an odd isolation of “idea” from the practical reality of the “life world”. However such an image of “idea” is clearly destroyed by the logic of the di-alogue “Parmenides”, where the One is deemed inconceivable without the Other/Many. Within this context it becomes possible to understand “idea” in a “non-platonic” way (though rooted in the platonic way of thinking) through the lens of the “the other/many”, rather than “the one”. We claim that A. Badiou’s interpretation of Plato follow the forementioned frame of understanding, when he grasps “idea” as something profoundly challenging logic, or mathematical structure of any given world.

The address to communitarianism as a system of ideas and a model of the “ideal type” of a public organization can serve as the foundation for scientific and philosophical research of the problems of organizing public dialogue and social consolidation, the implementation of the organic relationship of technological progress with institutional and anthropological conservatism. The issue of communitarianism has a certain tradition in Russian thought of different eras and directions (Slavophilism, philosophy of the “new religious consciousness”, Eurasianism, ethical and anthropological studies in Soviet – orthodox and non–Marxist – philosophy and certain recent historical, philosophical and political science works), which is both indirect and in some cases quite direct. Comparing the approaches of domestic and foreign authors to the factors of transformation of society on the principles of social harmony allows us to conclude that when in Western philosophy communitarianism is simply the criticism of liberalism and the search for a balance between various social forces interests, in Russia it is capable to reach a fundamentally higher axiological and theoretical level within the framework of integration with the conceptual baggage of the Russian idea and the real experience of the state of social justice understanding.

The paper explores the functioning of the island motif in early modern literature and its later evolution into an instrument of critiquing the traditional European culture. In both cases islands are considered as a special kind of laboratories conceptualized both as places of work and places where experiments are performed in the ideal conditions of isolation from the external world.
