Living Poetically in the Modern Age : The Situational Aspects of Kierkegaard's Thought

How did Søren Kierkegaard (1813 1855) situate the human subject into historical and social actuality? How did he take into consideration his own situatedness? As key for understanding these questions the research takes the ideal of living poetically that Kierkegaard outlined in his dissertation. In The Concept of Irony (1841) Kierkegaard took up this ideal of the Romantic ironists and made it into an ethical-religious ideal. For him the ideal of living poetically came to mean 1) becoming brought up by God, while 2) assuming ethical-religiously one s role and place in the historical actuality. Through an exegesis of Kierkegaard s texts from 1843 to 1851 it is shown how this ideal governed Kierkegaard s thought and action throughout his work. The analysis of Kierkegaard s ideal of living poetically not only a) shows how the Kierkegaardian subject is situated in its historical context. It also b) sheds light on Kierkegaard s social and political thought, c) helps to understand Kierkegaard s character as a religious thinker, and d) pits his ethical-religious orientation in life against its scientific and commonsense alternatives. The research evaluates the rationality of the way of life championed by Kierkegaard by comparing it with ways of life dominated by reflection and reasoning. It uses Kierkegaard s ideal of living poetically in trying to understand the tensions between religious and unreligious ways of life.

The influence of school smoking policy and school prevention programs on the smoking behaviour of high school students in Prince Edward Island, Canada

The aim of the study was to examine the influence of school smoking policy and school smoking prevention programs on the smoking behaviour of students in high schools in Prince Edward Island using the School Health Action Planning Evaluation System (SHAPES). A total sample included 13,131 observations of students in grades 10-12 in ten high schools in Prince Edward Island over three waves of data collection (1999, 2000, and 2001). Changes in prevalence of smoking and factors influencing smoking behaviour were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-Square tests. Multi-level logistic regression analyses were used to examine how both school and student characteristics were associated with smoking behaviour (I, II, III, IV). Since students were located within schools, a basic 2-level nested structure was used in which individual students (level 1) were nested within schools (level 2). For grade 12 students, the combination of both school policies and programs was not associated with the risk of smoking and the presence of the new policy was not associated with decreased risk of smoking, unless there were clear rules in place (I). For the grade 10 study, (II) schools with both policies and programs were not associated with decreased risk of smoking. However, the smoking behaviour of older students (grade 12) at a school was associated with younger students’ (grade 10) smoking behaviour. Students first enrolled in a high school in grade 9, rather than grade 10, were at increased risk of occasional smoking. For students who transitioned from grade 10 to 12 (III), close friends smoking had a substantial influence on smoking behaviour for both males and females (III). Having one or more close friends who smoke (Odds Ratio (OR) = 37.46; 95% CI = 19.39 to 72.36), one or more smokers in the home (OR = 2.35; 95% CI = 1.67 to 3.30) and seeing teachers and staff smoking on or near school property (OR=1.78; 95% CI = 1.13 to 2.80), were strongly associated with increased risk of smoking for grade 12 students. Smoking behaviour increased for both junior (Group 1) and senior (Group 2) students (IV). Group 1 students indicated a greater decrease in smoking behaviour and factors influencing smoking behaviour compared to those of Group 2. Students overestimating the percentage of youth their age who smoke was strongly associated with increased likelihood of smoking. Smoking rates showed a decreasing trend (1999, 2000, and 2001). However, policies and programs alone were not successful in influencing smoking behaviour of youth. Rather, factors within the students and schools contextual environment influenced smoking behaviour. Comprehensive approaches are required for school-based tobacco prevention interventions.

Yrityksen moraalinen velvollisuus yhteiskuntavastuun sidosryhmäteoriassa

Yritysten yhteiskuntavastuu sisältää monia merkityksiä ja on käsitteenä epäselvä. Tutkielman tarkoitus on hahmottaa ja selventää yhteiskuntavastuukeskustelussa käytettyjä käsitteitä ja teorioita. Sidosryhmäteoriasta on tullut keskeinen osa yhteiskuntavastuukeskustelua ja yhteiskuntavastuun muodostumisen selittäjä. Sidosryhmäteorian mukaan yritysten yhteiskuntavastuu koostuu erilaisista velvollisuuksista ja vastuista sidosryhmiään kohtaan. Sidosryhmät ovat tahoja, ihmisryhmiä tai entiteettejä, joihin yrityksen toiminta vaikuttaa, tai jotka ovat vaikuttaneet yrityksen toimintaan. Yritykset sidosryhmineen myös osittain mahdollistavat toistensa olemassaolon. Sidosryhmäteoria jäsentää yrityksen toimintaympäristöä ja siten yhteiskuntavastuu -käsitteen sisältöä. Tutkielma käsittelee sidosryhmäteorian suhdetta yhteiskuntavastuuseen ja erityisesti teorian moraalifilosofista viitekehystä. Esitän sidosryhmäteorian olevan seurauseettinen teoria, joka määrittelee yrityksen moraalisia velvollisuuksia. Yhteiskuntavastuu syntyy toisaalta yritysten toiminnan seurauksista sidosryhmille ja toisaalta sidosryhmien oikeuksien kunnioittamisesta. Seuraukset ja oikeudet ovat moraalisen velvollisuuden keskeisiä elementtejä. Tutkielmani keskittyy vastaamaan kysymyksiin, miksi ja miten yritys on vastuussa tai velvollinen sidosryhmille. Velvollisuuden rakentumiseen vastaan yhteiskuntavastuun sidosryhmäteorian, erityisesti R. Edward Freemanin muotoilun avulla ja Michael J. Zimmermanin moraalisen velvollisuuden käsitteen avulla. Yhdistämällä Freemanin ja Zimmermanin määritelmät esitän seurauseettisen sidosryhmäteorian moraaliseksi velvollisuudeksi seuraavaa määritelmää: ”Yrityksen pitää valita ja tehdä se teko, jonka voi tehdä, ja joka huomioi sidosryhmät, eli ryhmät ja yksilöt, joille koituu yrityksen toiminnasta seurauksia ja joiden oikeuksiin yrityksen toiminnalla on jotain vaikutuksia, siten, että teko aiheuttaa sidosryhmille enemmän hyötyä kuin haittaa sekä kunnioittaa sidosryhmien oikeuksia.” Zimmermanin ja Freemanin tekstien lisäksi keskeisiä lähteitä ovat useat yritysetiikka käsittelevät kokoelmateokset, kuten Contemporary Issues in Business Ethics (DesJardins & McCall 1985) ja Ethical Theory and Business (Beauchamp & Bowie 2001) Lopuksi esittelen moraalisen kollektiivisen agenttiuden ongelmaa, sillä usein esitetty kritiikki yhteiskuntavastuulle on, ettei kollektiivinen entiteetti kuten yritys voi kantaa moraalista vastuuta tai velvollisuutta. Esitän, ettei sidosryhmäteorian näkökulmasta kritiikki ole riittävä kumoamaan yrityksen moraalista velvollisuutta.

La Basílica Nacional de Luján : el proyecto de su construcción (1887-1890)

Resumen: Con motivo de conmemorarse los 125 años de la coronación pontificia de la Imagen de Ntra. Sra. de Luján, Patrona de la República Argentina, el autor recorre la historia de los distintos oratorios, capillas y templos que le han sido dedicados, desde 1630, año del milagro, deteniéndose en los comienzos de la construcción de la monumental Basílica neogótica, reconocida como una de las más importantes de América en su tipo. El proyecto, en cuanto al diseño y desarrollo, corresponde al P. Jorge María Salvaire, vicentino, con el permanente apoyo del arzobispo de Buenos Aires, monseñor Federico León Aneiros. La mencionada Basílica guarda particular importancia histórica y pastoral en razón de albergar en su camarín la Imagen original de Ntra. Sra. de Luján, una pequeña talla de la Inmaculada Concepción, de arcilla cocida y pintada, vestida luego a la usanza española y con corona.
