“…Those defining Durkheim's sociology more exclusively in rationalist / structuralist terms also seem likely to distance themselves from Durkheim's Moral Education (1902-1903, The Evolution of Educational Thought (1904Thought ( -1905, and The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life (1912). However, when examined mindfully of his 1913-1914 lectures, Durkheim's Moral Education, The Evolution of Educational Thought, and Elementary Forms of the Religious Life suggest that Durkheim not only had begun to question the viability of structuralist analysis prior to developing his lectures on pragmatism, but that he also had been doing so in more explicit, fundamental, and consequential terms.…”

Emile Durkheim may be best known as a structuralist and an empiricist of a distinctively quantitative sort, but a comparatively neglected set of lectures on pragmatism presented by Durkheim just prior to his death suggests that this characterization is only partially justified. Interestingly, whereas Durkheim is critical of pragmatism in some very consequential respects, he not only uses pragmatism to indicate the major shortcomings of rationalist and empiricist approaches to the study of human group life but he also builds on pragmatism as an instructive resource in developing his own thoughts on human knowing and acting. These lectures may help scholars appreciate some of the more enduring tensions in Durkheim's scholarship, but they also reveal some of the inadequacies of contemporary "sociological theory" with respect to both depictions of the scholarship of Emile Durkheim and the more fundamental study of human knowing and acting.

“…2 Still, it may well be Durkheim's reading of the lesser-known British pragmatist F.C.S. Schiller's (1903Schiller's ( , 1907 texts that provided him with some of the clearest conceptual material on pragmatist thought. Nevertheless, Durkheim very much centers his 1913-1914 lectures on notions of pragmatism that he assigns to William James.…”

“…These early perspectives laid the foundation for later theories of play. Figures like Froebel (1887), Pestalozzi (1894), Dewey (1910), andMontessori (1914) emphasized the educational value of play, while Schiller (1875), andSpencer (1873), and Groos (1898) explored its purpose.…”

ObjectiveGrounded in theories of globalization, this qualitative case study aimed to explore the understanding of play among Chinese teachers in private, for-profit Western style early learning centers.MethodsThe study encompassed 16 Chinese teachers working in four Western-style early learning centers. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews. Following separate thematic analyses of each case, a cross-case analysis was conducted to compare and contrast the emerging themes, elucidating both commonalities and distinctions across the four cases.ResultsThe findings from all four cases revealed a categorization of play into two main types: “play in class’” and “play out of class.” “Play out of class” was characterized as unstructured, enjoyable, and creative, emphasizing child autonomy and spontaneous learning. In contrast, “play in class” pertained to play-based curricula that were thoughtfully designed to align with specific teaching goals and learning objectives. It was seen as a structured method for fostering learning, highlighting the developmental appropriateness of such approaches.Conclusion:These findings underscore the educators’ recognition of the significance of play; however, it also illustrates that their perceptions have been shaped by the prevailing emphasis on children’s achievements in Chinese society.

“…The association of beauty with other socially favorable attributes by Dion et al (1972), illustrated the survival and reinforcement of old stereotypes according to which “beauty is inseparable from goodness” (Sappho (630–570 BC), Fragment 101, as translated by T.H. Wharton (1887)) and “physical beauty is the sign of an inner spiritual and moral beauty” (Schiller 1875).…”

Systems that have yet to stand the test of time carry imperfections that need to be skillfully addressed with the least amount of authoritarianism as possible. The communication and transmission of knowledge that we hold dear are essential pillars to social progress. As such, it is necessary to analyze with the greatest scientific objectivity the applications arising from the deep revolution rooted in the total sequencing of the human genome which affects all aspects of our societies. This extraordinary advance in human knowledge and the resulting technological achievements should not lend themselves to the fears or fantasies often fueled by those who criticize all scientific progress calling into question the most established dogmas. Certain supposedly scholarly analyses of the health situation with which we are currently confronted worldwide are a perfect illustration of this unfortunate trend. It is undeniable that the progress of molecular genetics has opened up a wide range of applications in many fields, affecting the well-being of humans, their mental and physical health. The apparent universal and individual interest for the most advanced genetic profile analyzing technologies is a testimony to this strong common desire to better understand one's genetic heritage and to control their usage. Despite this movement, little attention is given to the recent advances in genetics applied to essential aspects of the social life of individuals through their inter-personal interactions. It is particularly distressing that the contributions of molecular biology and genetics to the daily well-being of individuals have not yet allowed open-access non-medical genetic testing to gain the recognition it deserves and are still viewed as recreational applications. Through an analysis of the cross influences that genetic biotechnologies have had since the beginning of the century in the fields of nutrition and cosmetics, we have tried to project ourselves into the near future which should witness major behavioral and social upheavals.
