Stanisław Staszic - człowiek nauki (w 250. rocznicę urodzin)
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2005) Uliński, Maciej
The article presents a scientific and philosophical aspects of works written by Stanislaw Staszic (1755–1826), an outstanding person of polish Enlightenment. Especially his research in geology of Poland in its areas before partition in XVIII century, especially Karpaty mountains including its paleontology, biology and ethnography was one of the best works of its kind in Europa. His excellent geological maps of its territories were highly prized and used up to the and of XIX century. As man of Enlightenment he was interested in many other new sciences (for example statistic) and organizer of polish mining and metallurgical industry. His great work Human Race written first as a poem and at the same time as grate prosaic philosophical work shows him us a forerunner of many evolutionist ideas. The article has been written to commemorate 250 anniversary of his birth.
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.

Mechanisms of democracies subject changes also, which was related with state mainly until now.
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.
