{"product_id":"9783631351390","title":"Balanced Thinking: An Educational Perspective for 2000+ on the Basis of a Cross-cultural German\/Japanese Study","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book, initiated by a comparative empirical study on ways of thinking in samples of German and Japanese students, picks up the old question of decision-making between contradicting needs. It analyses – stimulated by striking differences found in the way how the two populations treated the «contradiction problem» – the general problem of contradiction on the background of a «polarity approach» to life. On this background either\/or decisions, although possibly scientifically correct and pushed forward under time pressure, may not be appropriate to the actual situation of life and thus be «wrong». Either\/or, neither\/nor, and even as-well-as reactions should be regarded as relevant in contradictory situations.
