试论美国哲学的全球维度

作为以多种方式研究不同于美国的一些国家的社会哲学和政治哲学的专家,笔者密切地关注和思考今天几乎全世界不知道为什么都一致同意称之为“世界化”的这个现象。笔者考察了越来越富有霸权色彩的一种变化中的文化的特别具有威胁性的若干方面,它———如果可以称之为“文化”的话———借助跨国公司(可口可乐即是其中之一,而且有幸或者说不幸作为这种发展的代名词)进行传播,但基本上———不是惟一地———以我的祖国为基地。笔者试图说明为什么这种现象可能引起我们不安,尽管并非所有人对此持相同意见。出于非常明显的理由,笔者特别集中地探…     

学以成人:非洲文化的贡献

EXTENSION DE LA PERSPECTIVE TEMPORELLE FUTURE EN RELATION AVEC LA FRUSTRATION*

By means of Nuttin's Motivational Induction Method, the intentions, plans and goals of subjects from Rwanda were collected. These motivational objects of 71 frustrated subjects (non-admitted to the university) were compared with those of 47 non-frustrated subjects (admitted to the university) regarding extension of their future time perspective (FTP). As hypothesized, FTP of frustrated subjects was more restricted than that of non-frustrated subjects (the mean extension score, in number of years, and the proportion of number of references to the near future to the number of references to the distant future). No difference was found before the occurrence of the frustrating situation. An additional analysis based on subjective frustration demonstrates that a significant relationship exists between intensity of experienced frustration and extension of FTP.
