A STUDY OF MORAL CONCEPT IN MODERN HINDI NOVELS

Los sentimientos morales en el problema de la responsabilidad moral

El trabajo es un análisis del lugar que ocupan los sentimientos morales en la formulación y justificación de juicios morales. Se analizan las motivaciones morales en un contexto de crímenes de lesa humanidad, tal como fue la dictadura militar argentina, por medio del caso del ex comandante de navío Francisco Scilingo. Se sostiene que la pertenencia a una comunidad moral es determinante para la formación de expectativas morales y que el incumplimiento de esas expectativas está directamente relacionado con el surgimiento de sentimientos morales. El trabajo busca extender la reflexión sobre el concepto de sentimientos morales al ámbito de la responsabilidad colectiva y por eso se pregunta si estos sentimientos tienen lugar en la atribución de responsabilidad a los perpetradores de crímenes de lesa humanidad.

The High Education Teacher, an Agent of Moral Development

The article shows the classroom like an workplace to move moral development, from the relationship between students and professors in the university atmosphere. It proposes elements to take to the practice the ethics education a transverse curriculum line. It assumes the ethics, from a plural perspective, founded on the knowledge and the human action. It joins the integral formation with the conceptions of education, curriculum, pedagogical models and methodologies of education. It proposes actions to demonstrate the commitment of the professor with the integral formation. Finally, concludes that the professor is agent of moral development and that in the classroom is constructed: identity, autonomy and responsibility, from open and plural relation between professors and students and between these and the knowledge.

Intention-based economic theories of reciprocity

In recent years, several experiments have shown individuals exhibit authentic reciprocal behaviour in anonymous one-shot interactions. As reciprocity has been shown to be relevant in several economic fields, there have also been several attempts to model reciprocal bahaviour. I review the intention-based models of reciprocity and present an example of teacher management in the public sector in which the government offers an incentive scheme to implement a program. The incentive scheme has a prisoner´s dilemma structure. In both simultaneous and sequential games, equilibrium results may differ from those predicted by standard theory.

The main contours of Richard S. Peters's concept of moral education.

Exponer de modo sistemático las ideas que la autora considera imprescindibles para comprender el concepto de la educación moral de Richard Stanley Peters . En el primer capítulo se ofrece el perfil de Peters y una visión general sobre la educación moral y sus obras. Los tres capítulos siguientes presentan 'el mapa' de su pensamiento. Concretamente, la exposición se desarrolla en torno a cuatro aspectos o utilizando la terminología de Peters, se refiere a estos aspectos como 'signposts'. El capítulo segundo está dedicado a la finalidad de la educación moral y el tercero al educando y su desarrollo. Los otros dos aspectos, -el contenido y los procesos, están tratados en el capítulo cuatro. Al final de la exposición y a modo de conclusión, la autora ofrece algunas valoraciones de las contribuciones de Peters. Una síntesis de las conclusiones se puede expresar en la siguiente fórmula: los aspectos que Peters cuestiona respecto a algunos planteamientos más influenciados por Kant tienen validez. Sin embargo, la solución que propone se puede decir que queda a 'mitad del camino' porque al final, Peters no consiguió superar del todo los reduccionismos que caracterizan los puntos de vista que él pretendió armonizar. Este fracaso está vinculado al método de la filosofía analítica.

An experimental comparison between rival theories of rapid automatized naming performance and its relationship to reading

Two studies investigated the degree to which the relationship between rapid automatized naming (RAN) performance and reading development is driven by shared phonological processes. Study 1 assessed RAN, phonological awareness, and reading performance in 1010 7- to -10 year-olds. Results showed that RAN deficits occurred in the absence of phonological awareness deficits. These were accompanied by modest reading delays. In structural equation modeling, solutions where RAN was subsumed within a phonological processing factor did not provide a good fit to the data, suggesting that processes outside phonology may drive RAN performance and its association with reading. Study 2 investigated Kail’s proposal that speed of processing underlies this relationship. Children with single RAN deficits showed slower speed of processing than did closely matched controls performing normally on RAN. However, regression analysis revealed that RAN made a unique contribution to reading even after accounting for processing speed. Theoretical implications are discussed.

Scripture, style and persuasion in seventeenth-century English theories of preaching

The distinction between a Puritan ‘plain’ and a Laudian ‘metaphysical’ preaching style rests on secular rhetorical theories of persuasion that are relatively unimportant to early Stuart homiletics but are central to later Latitudinarian polemics on preaching. Instead, the ‘English Reformed’ theory and method of sermon composition rests on the didactic function of preaching and the need for the Holy Spirit and hearers to co-operate with the preacher. Although Andrewes and some avant-garde conformists questioned this theory, they developed no alternative method of composition. Arguments made in the 1650s for direct inspiration by the Spirit contributed to the decline of both theory and method
