On public values and power indices
(2015) Bertini, Cesarino; Stach, Izabella
In this paper, we analyze some values and power indices from a different point of view that are well-defined in the social context where the goods are public. In particular, we consider the Public Good index (Holler, 1982), the Public Good value (Holler and Li, 1995), the Public Help index (Bertini et al., 2008), the König and Bräuninger index (1998) also called the Zipke index (Nevison et al., 1978), and the Rae index (1969). The aims of this paper are: to propose an extension of the Public Help index to cooperative games; to introduce a new power index with its extension to a game value; and to provide some characterizations of the new index and values.

Wizerunek wroga w kulturze politycznej
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2016) Buchner, Wojciech
The article is an attempt to explain the phenomenon of hostility in the political culture since at least the early modern era. The author argues that the image of the enemy in western political culture is being dehumanized because of his axiological depreciation. This phenomenon is analysed by using the method of the history of ideas, resorting to examples of the Reformation, religious wars and the French Revolution. Formerly these events brought about the escalation of hostilities in the public life, and today they create the veiled ideological standards of tolerance, human rights and false humanitarianism.
