Ms. D. K. Schäffer

Tarsadalomkutatas (Social Science Research) > 2007 > 25 > 1 > 103-120

The solution of ecological problems requires the contribution of international organizations, national governments, civil organizations, companies, academic researchers, and individuals.

Household energy use is a relevant question because producing energy burdens the environment...

INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CO-OPERATION AND PUBLIC OPINION

S. Vari

Tarsadalomkutatas (Social Science Research) > 2007 > 25 > 1 > 87-101

In several EU countries international development co-operation is subject of public discourse. For a number of reasons Hungarian society is characterised by a low level of public awareness concerning international development issues, which negatively affects its support. Although Hungary belonged to the aid recipient countries only for a few years after the change of the political system, the feeling...

SCHOLARSHIPS IN HUNGARY

L. Laki

Tarsadalomkutatas (Social Science Research) > 2007 > 25 > 2 > 207-212

The characteristics of Hungarian scholarships have changed in the past nearly twenty years.

K. Varga

Tarsadalomkutatas (Social Science Research) > 2007 > 25 > 3 > 229-254

An attempt is made to interpret by three interlinked way a problem dividing public opinion, namely the theme of the 'Big Brother of Oszöd'.

This enterprise leads us to the general sociological...

THE STRUCTURE OF NIKLAS LUHMANN'S THEORY

B. Brunczel

Tarsadalomkutatas (Social Science Research) > 2007 > 25 > 3 > 297-320

There are more factors that make especially difficult to understand Niklas Luhmann's theory of society, e.g. its extraordinarily abstract and at the same time unusual language, some theoretical decisions that are surprising in the light of sociological tradition and the complicated interdependence between the parts of his theory. All of these can imply the danger of misinterpretation. In his paper...

CREATIVITY, ITS DENSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE POPULATION

P. Veres

Tarsadalomkutatas (Social Science Research) > 2007 > 25 > 3 > 322-339

The density of talent (creativity) in an ethnic group or population is calculated in various ways by scholars. Some of them estimate it to be 0.025% or 1-2-3-4-5-6-8-8.3% of the total population; others put it as high as 10-15-16-20-30-50%. All this means that research about creativity has not yet reached a consensus. According to the author, the density of creative persons in a given population does...

BLAIRISM AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE HUNGARIAN REFORMS

P. Tamas

Tarsadalomkutatas (Social Science Research) > 2007 > 25 > 4 > 3467-392

Presumably it would be too early to word more serious judgements about 'Blairism' as the arranged and exportable package of the renewal of the centre-left. No matter, however, whether Gordon Brown would continue Blair's programme without fail, or would tailor it more vigorously to fit his figure, it is worth studying it at this point. In addition we are particularly interested in it, for though the...

FAITH - WITHOUT ILLUSIONS? CONTRIBUTIONS TO GEORG LUKÁCS'S LATE POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY

G. Budai

Tarsadalomkutatas (Social Science Research) > 2007 > 25 > 4 > 467-486

Georg Lukács never wrote a separate political philosophy and we cannot even derive any Marxist political theory from his late works. Nevertheless it does not mean that we could not recognize in these works the peculiarly Lukácsian view of political philosophy. In this essay the author tries to reconstruct the architecture of his political ideas in terms of Stalinism and democracy. Therefore he shall...
