Relacja natura - kultura w socjologicznych treściach kształcenia (na przykładzie studiów pedagogicznych)

Abstract

The issues undertaken in this study involve the presence of some considerations concerning the relation nature – culture in the teaching contents of course curricula in sociology (including sociological subdisciplines), implemented within pedagogical studies. In a particular way, history of sociology is related to the process of the 19th century industrialization – the period which, with no doubt, turned out to be of key significance for the birth of modern society as it radically changed the relation humanity – nature. The author tries to show the centrality of the relation nature – culture in sociological discourse, but on the other hand – the different sociological contexts of the same relation. What is particularly emphasized are: the dispute between naturalism and antinaturalism, the sociological understanding of culture and the existence of contemporary social and cultural movements which discredit the instrumental attitude of modern civilization to nature.
