Normatywna erozja - uwagi o patologii procesu legislacyjnego w systemie politycznym III RP
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2005) Borkowski, Robert
The present paper discusses weakness of state and pathology in legislation. Polish system of law is corrupted by hyperregulation, disintegration and weakness of government in legislation process. Such defects resulted from historical background. From XVIII century there were the times of partitions, German ocupation and communist regime. Even nowadays people in Poland are more interested in their privacy than in development of civil society. For that reason there is still low position of law in social order.

Ontologia w ujęciu komparatywnym - myśl europejska i buddyjska. Wybrane zagadnienia
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2005) Kurpiewski, Wiesław
The paper supplies an introduction to the systematic comparative analysis of European and Buddhist (mainly from mahâyana tradition) philosophies. It elaborates the subject with a general approach as well as expounds individual philosophical views, including Polish thinkers. What seems important, is to stress the need for such intercultural approach in contemporary way of philosophizing, it is a way to widen philosophy itself. Comparative research may be successful only if we try to avoid approach to the questions discussed only from the opacity of one tradition, points of view of both sides should be taken into account. One of important method of such comparative approach is then to expound likeness and differences between the subjects analyzed, differences seems to be more important. More refined and advanced research incorporates interconnected relations: differences among what is similar and similarities among the differences. An analysis of philosophical questions themselves starts with the problems: (1) In what sense we may speak about Buddhist ontology. On one side, there are sufficient reasons to relate this concept to the Buddhist philosophy, on the another, it should be widened, comparing to European thought. (2) Does soteriological metaphysics is still metaphysics? A strict, actual comparative research takes into account such questions as: dharma theory and philosophy of being (to on); mind, consciousness in Buddhism and in phenomenology; emptiness (oeûnyatâ) versus being (to on) and non-being (to me on); ultimate reality; philosophy of dependent arising (pratîtyasamutpâda) in opposition to philosophy of being; two truths (satyadvaya); problem of existence in both traditions. Comparisons are summed up with two kinds of conclusions. Methodological ones point at the significance of hermeneutics for better understanding of Buddhist thought. Content-related ones reveal, first of all, directional differences – so to speak – of both traditions. Initial different interests impinge on the whole image of implied philosophies; their thematic scopes, methods applied and, first of all, tenets they claim. An attention calls inspiring meaning of some original and intriguing Buddhist views, such as of emptiness (oeûnyavada) or of non arisen phenomena (anutpâda). Such anti-theses in relation to our tradition, taken seriously into consideration may involve new metaphysical questions and enrich us with new spirituals possibilities.

Eutanazja - znak naszych czasów
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2005) Maksymowicz, Agata
Death is a universal phenomenon, it happens touches every person. One of the aspects of wide concern regarding death is euthanasia. It invokes much controversy, with some people being supporters whilst others being opposed against it. In some countries euthanasia has been legalized. The Catholic Church is decidedly against euthanasia, but at the same time is critical of the use of excessive therapy. Public opinion in Western Europe, the USA, Canada and Australia supports the allowance of the use of euthanasia. In Poland most people reject such a possibility, however the number of supporters of death by personal choice” in recent years has increased.

Jasne i ciemne strony miasta. Społeczno-ekonomiczna dywersyfikacja przestrzeni Gliwic
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2005) Kozielska, Barbara
City as a metaphor could be described as a living organism. It consists of many tissues with completely different functions. Cities are the sites of complex of social, cultural, political and economic spaces and forma. There are no cities with homogenous spatial structure. Distinct districts arise in the different parts of the city. Such process takes place in accordance with different spheres of life. Dwellings and users of the city perceive sectors in different ways giving them special meanings. Cities are the sites of complex global interconnections producing a multiplicity of social, cultural, political and economic spaces and forms. Over half of the world population now lives in cities and this proportion is predicted to grow significantly in coming years. We may call contemporary world as Globalopolis. The paper discusses distinct spaces and functions of different parts of the city of Gliwice. The author tries to point out multiplicity of spaces in the city. Gliwice is typical transforming city as many other in Poland during the period of economic and social transformation, which is also influented by processes of globalization. We may distinguish „good” and „bad” spaces in this transforming city.

Związki gejowskie jako alternatywne formy życia małżeńsko-rodzinnego
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2006) Perlińska, Ewa
My research and deliberation made in this study show that homosexuality is only one of the signs of human diversity one from the innumerable number of personality features. Therefore, one cannot talk about »gay identity«, »homosexual personality«, because, as far as I am concerned, it doesn't exist. Artifically generated gay population is only a group of people being much different from one another and having only one common feature their sexual orientation. Besides they differ from one another as much as one man from another. Gay relationships take on countless forms, but all of them, as the results of my research indicate, fulfil the majority of family in traditional point of view functions. The deliberation points out at one more conclusion - one cannot examine gay relationships as a separate model of family-marriage life. It should be forgotten about their different psychosexual orientation and treat their relationships, together with other interpersonal relationships, equally. Only from such position one can discern in their specific alternative models of family-marriage life.

Symbol a logo. Postrzeganie symboli przez młodych ludzi w Krakowie
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2006) Jarzyna, Marta
Symbols are essential elements of each culture. Thanks to them the meaning is created and tradition is kept alive. Advertising and marketing specialists quite often use the mean-ings of the symbols to create trade marks. In this way specialists refer to the associations rooted in the tradition. In my article I am trying to answer the following questions: Has logo become symbol? Has logo taken over all the functions of the symbol? Can we tell the difference between the meaning of the advertisement and the cultural meaning? I also want to find out, what people understand through the meaning of the symbol. Therefore I have conducted the sur-vey among the high school students and the customers of three banks in Kraków. My re-searches have shown that most young people find it difficult to define the meaning of the symbol. Moreover high school students cannot show the difference between the symbol and the trade mark.

Kultura tradycyjna wobec wyzwań nowoczesności. Mobilizacja etniczna w oczach wykształconych liderek romskich
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2006) Krzyżowski, Łukasz
The article concerns the change of the Gypsy culture under the influence of the integrational processes with the Polish society. The changes occuring in the Gypsy community are sometimes contradictory to the tradion, which is being reproduced within the family. The local leaders working for the benefit of the Gypsy community within more and more numerous societies and organisations, as well as the growing elite of this group, are trying to adjust their community to the changing reality in the least interfering manner. I present the basie categories of the Gypsy culture which are integral elements of this society's life. I mean romanipen, which is the fundamental principle of organazing the Gypsies daily social life. It also includes magaripen, which is a profanation resulting from disobeyig the group taboo. Additionally I describe the special role of the Gypsy family in conveying the group values only by the word of mouth, which makes the Gypsy language significant in defining the indentity of the individual. I also present such aspects of the Gypsies' life, which, in my belief, have undergone a crucial change due to the contact with the dominant culture. The object of my interest was the mutual relation between the new chalenges the Gypsy society is going to encounter and traditional group culture.

W drodze do harmonii - wspólnota europejska w kontekście sztuki muzycznej
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2007) Kobyłka, Martyna
The main idea of the article is to show particular kind of similarity between musical composition and the community, bound together by common values and tradition. Tradition that unites does not limit creative and innovative approach to the past, present and fiiture. On the contrary, values give meaning to the searching process. Musical composition - as consisting of series of complementary elements - in perfect way refiects the idea of »unity in diversity«, so crucial for building the community. History reveals how universal language musie is and how important is the musical wealth of particular nations - as it constitutes specific inspiration for composers, originating from various areas of the world. Musie serves also as a perfect communication tool and opens our minds for the beauty, variety and dynamies of constantly evolving and changing reality.

Panorama twórczości filmowej Jana Švankmajera
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2007) Zmudziński, Bogusław
Jan Śvankmajer - is a leading world animation creator and a confirmed representative of surrealism belonging to a small circle of film artists who, apart from great achievements in short animation, can also boast of remarkable attainments in long features. He owes it to his technique of combining animated and acting scenes together, which he developed already when making his short film forms. The article is a synthetic attempt at presentation of the artisfs whole creative output starting from his first short animations from the 1960s up to his latest feature film titiled Lunacy. The author of the text underlines the centrality of the object animation in the artistic work of Jan Śvankmajer, who is the most outstanding representative of this form of animation alongside Jan Lenica, Walerian Borowczyk and Stephen and Timothy Quay. In his latest film, the artist suggests with the kind of determination typical of the surrealists that all of his object animation production can be regarded as vision of a lunatic. Not many artists have courage to do so in the contemporary - and commercialized in the very nature of it - audiovisual culture.

Taking attempt to research populism, one should ascertain, that it has been listed permanently in social and politic life of states. It has already become almost a formal procedure, used by political actors for rising their attractiveness in electoral competition.

O sensowności w świecie, w metafizyce i w nauce
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2007) Siciński, Michał
The notion of objective sense is commonly used in various contexts, and is also frequently misused. It has been often criticised in the context of natural sciences during the last 200 years - the period of positivistically oriented science. In the ancient Greek philosophy the problem of Nature possessing its own sense was stressed, and from that problem the first germs of science started in the Ionic and Pythagorean schools. Contrary to that, the Aristotelean approach initiated the positivist tradition which banned from science the question of Nature as possessing an internal sense, and the scholastics introduced a concept of the Nature's sense being not intrinsic but granted to it by the divine action. The mathematisation of physics caused that the divine action started to be interpreted as »mathematical«, and in consequence, the sense of Nature was seen as expressed by mathematies. Later on, this mathematically expressed sense of Nature, as seen in physical theories, started to be perceived as independent from God and having not much to do with the supernatural: inside the mathematical science there was no place for any anthropomorphic Creators. Recently, however, when in the newest physics the mathematical structures have already been perceived not only as a language but also as a kind of ultimate reality, a place for quasi-religious feeling of mystery hidden in these structures has been welcome. It means that within the field of modern physical theories there is no place for the traditional religious concepts, but there is a place for a kind of mysties of objective mathematies in the Pythagorean style, related to the modern »new spirituality« mysticism.The situation is completely different in the area of less mathematised branches like biology The tensions between science and religion are strong there, and the alternative is as follows: traditional religiousness versus traditional atheism, but not a neutral science separated from religion versus a non-traditional mysticism of the mathematies being united with nature, as it is the case of newest physics. So, the biologists who are not ready to accept the popular traditional notion of God directly interfering with nature, e.g. creating the phenomenon of life or man, are ready to accept the old-fashioned »scientific« atheism. That is why the dialogue between science and religion is rather difficult in relation to biology, despite being so fruitful in relation to physics and cosmology.
