This is a study concerning Hegel?s critic of Rousseau?s common will and shows how Hegel?s concept of freedom should be understood from this criticism. This is done first of all through a study of Rousseau?s social contract and Hegel?s Philosophy of Right. The different state theories which Rousseau and Hegel represent, are evaluated separately, first Rousseau?s then Hegel?s to see how Hegel?s philosophy is a continuation of Rousseau?s philosophy.

Uppsatsen behandlar gudserfarenhet och språkbruk hos Jean-Jacques Rousseau och dess likheter med pietismen. Både Rousseau och pietismen betonade människans känslor framför förnuftet, i en för övrigt förnuftsorienterad tid. De menade att människans känslor måste tillåtas komma till uttryck i trosfrågor och när de talar om hur människan erfar Gud och det gudomliga använder de liknande ord och begrepp. Studiens syfte är således att studera dessa likheter, med fokus på Rousseaus språkbruk och bildvärld..

This essay focus on Jean-Jacques Rousseau and David Hume and how they in their writings describe the doctrine of the original sin, and what they replace it with.

Arbetets syfte är att fördjupa förståelsen för vad ett socialt kunskaps- och lärandebegrepp är och vilka konsekvenser det kan få för utformningen av undervisningen. Arbetet utgår ifrån Johan Asplunds begrepp om social responsivitet och dess betydelse för en social förståelse av kunskap och lärande. Det sker genom kvalitativa textanalyser av Jean Jacques Rousseaus bildningsroman Emile (1762)och Lpf 94. Översiktligt anger resultatet vilket utrymme elevens sociala responsivitet ges genom den förmedlade förståelsen av kunskaps- och lärandebegreppen. Lpf 94 utvecklar en bildningsorienterad och konstruktivistisk syn på begreppen.

Trafficking in human beings and prostitution is an increasing occurrence within the EU. However, vast differences in legal frameworks regarding prostitution can be detected among member states.The Netherlands is an example where prostitution is regarded a legal activity. In other member states legal standings toward prostitution remain ambivalent, where Sweden here serves an example. Finally, Lithuania is among member states where prostitution is considered illegal.The purpose of this paper is therefore to study underlying attitudes and approaches that these three countries have in this rather delicate political question. By interpreting the content and quoting parts of propositions, an ideology analysis is constructed.The theory chapter consists of Rousseau?s theories, Objectivism, Radical Feminist Theory, and Sex-positive Feminist Theory.

The object of investigation in this essay is the epic novel sequence Jernbanan written by Sara Lidman. More specifically the investigation takes on the idea of a ?sam-vett? as it is formulated in Jernbanan. The ?sam-vett? is an idea about the undivided unity of man, nature and animal, and with a kind of primitive trait.

During our teacher training, focusing on history and Swedish at further education level, we have noticed a discrepancy in the way history is portrayed in further education and higher education literature. Accounts of historical ideas, events and developments have often wrongly been depicted as non-gender specific, that is, of equal relevance to both men and women. To what extent is it made clear in further education textbooks that Rousseau?s treatise on education was exclusively aimed at the male gender, and how are the gender-specific aspects of his ideas described? What role and space are set aside for women in the accounts of the struggle for the universal right to vote in Sweden at the turn of the century in 1900, and how is the unions? initial exclusion of female workers portrayed? Focusing on the above historical events and developments, this study aimes to examine whether or not gender-specific issues are described as gender neutral in a selection of history textbooks for further education published in Sweden between 1982 and 2003..

 Dissertation in political science, C-level by Niklas Andersson, Spring Semester 2009. Tutor: Arne Larsson?The Treaty of Lisbon ? The Defence against Globalization??In the modern world globalization have undermined the nation-state and left it without the right measurements to adequately deal with the social and economic unrest that follows in its way. The states, built on contract theories, have an obligation to protect its citizens from the state of nature which seems to have failed as globalization has changed the rules.The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the contract theories of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and John Rawls to identify the elements of a state and create a modern and ideal contract theory. The treaty shall then be used on the Treaty of Lisbon as it can be seen as a contract between the European states to create an entity in the shape of the European Union with the power to defend Europe from the unrest created by globalization.My question for this was as follows:Is the new treaty for the European Union acceptable as a new social contract according to the social contract theories?During my research the following criteria?s for a social contract was found:1.

The European Union has created a common plan regarding narcotics use and abuse within the European member states. The aim here is to reduce the supply and demand for drugs among the citizens of the Union. However, the opinions on how to achieve these goals greatly differ among member states. The range of attitudes varies from the strictly restrictive attitudes of countries such as Sweden, to the complete decriminalization of personal possession of all narcotic substances in Portugal. The purpose of this paper is therefore to study the underlying attitudes and approaches that these two countries have, and hopefully to give some light to how come there is this big difference in legal frameworks regarding a rather delicate political question.

The purpose of this thesis is to discuss education as a state tool in Sweden during the 17th and 18th century. The idea is to contrast the pragmatics of the Swedish education system with the theories of Rousseau and Comenius. The thesis is marked by the thought that theory and application diverse because of the subversive infusion in the ideas of the theoretic.The results shows that it is ultimately a question of public education and its potential. The state recognises the potential of public education but also its dangers and therefore becomes very active in forming not only the education system as a hole but also its pedagogic.

En viktig del av frihetens idé är att varje människa ska ha ett skyddat område av sitt liv där hon är suverän, i det hon enbart lyder de morallagar som hon finner inom sig själv, och där ingen annan har rätt att utsätta henne för tvång. Idén om sådana ?sfärer av självbestämmande? kan spåras tillbaka till upplysningsfilosoferna Rousseau och Kant som förstod friheten som viljans autonomi. Självbestämmande kräver att var och en följer sina böjelser och strävanden: friheten att utforma sin livsplan i överensstämmelse med sin personlighet. Rousseau och Kant ansåg att inte bara individer utan också grupper av individer skulle kunna omges av sfärer av självbestämmande.

Vårt syfte med det här examensarbetet var att se hur lärare arbetar när de har tillgång till ett naturreservat som ligger i närheten till skolan. Vi ansåg det nödvändigt att i en litteraturstudie redogöra för vad utomhuspedagogik är och även göra en beskrivande del av naturreservatet, Kärna Mosse.Utomhuspedagogiken är inget nytt begrepp utan har en gedigen historia bakom sig med namn som Jean-Jaques Rousseau, Ellen Key och John Dewey. Lusten att lära, en helhetsupplevelse, tematisk integration och direktkontakten mellan människor och naturen är viktiga begrepp som beskriver utomhuspedagogiken. Vi har fokuserat på fördelarna som denna form av inlärning för med sig. Det har även varit en uppgift att studera vad styrdokumenten drar upp för riktlinjer.

AbstractA Vindication of the Rights of Woman was written by Mary Wollstonecraft. It was published in 1792 and as the titel reveals it dicusses what kind of rights women ought to have. Several authors, who have argued that women should not have the same rights as men, are mentioned in the book. One of them is Rousseau. His thoughts about different education for girls and boys are shown in Émile.

Studien är en kvalitativt inriktad undersökning omfattande sex intervjuer med studenter och alumni vid ett lärosäte i södra halvan av Sverige, som har till syfte att identifiera och beskriva faktorer som gör arbetsgivare attraktiva för gruppen lärarstudenter. Frågeställningarna rör i första hand identifiering av betydelsefulla faktorer i valet av arbetsgivare. Forskningsprocessen har i stora delar varit induktiv och de teoretiska analysverktygen har därför valts sedan det empiriska materialet redan framkallats. Som utgångspunkt för den teoretiska analysen har använts epistemologisk identitetsteori (Demerath), psykologiska kontrakt (Rousseau) och pragmatisk rationalism (Hodkinson & Sparkes). Delar av den teoretiska analysen har gjorts utifrån Bourdieus teorier om habitus och sociala strukturer.
