A fenomenologia e a nova orientação no estudo da vida

Husserl atribui ao mecanicismo de Descartes a responsabilidade de ter comprometido os desígnios mais universais da filosofia moderna, impregnando-os de um racionalismo objectivista. Pretendemos salientar que esta orientação, apesar de ter sido predominante, não impediu o aparecimento de várias tentativas (Stahl, Espinosa, Leibniz, Bichat, Diderot, etc.) que procuraram reconduzir a compreensão do mundo e do homem a uma maior proximidade dos dinamismos do mundo da vida.

Hazing practices in higher education : a study with portuguese students

Hazing practices in higher education institutions are perceived controversially. This study looked at the perception towards hazing practices of students from the University of the Azores in first cycle (n=247). It analyses if their perception was positive, emphasizing the integrative aspects of hazing practices, or if it was negative, inclining to define those practises like being violent and humiliating. The applied questionnaire measures 3 factors to define individual’s perception with hazing practices (positive relation with hazing practices, negative relation and the social dimension of the practices). This study used descriptive analyses to observe the level of agreement with hazing practices and non-parametrical statistical test to analyse the relationship between their levels of agreement with hazing practices and socio-demographic variables. Results emphasised balanced proportion of students perceiving positively and negatively those practices and incline to define hazing practices with the same components in both perceptions. It didnot highlight a strong mandatory integrative component in students’ perception. Also, results stressed a large part of students disinterested in hazing practices. Additionally factors of hazing practices’ perception showed significant relationships with respondent’s sex, age and academic degree. Hazing practices in this study did not seem to meet their main objectives of welcoming and integrating freshmen in higher education institutions.
