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.
Antropodramatyka Karola Wojtyły
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2007) Galarowicz, Jan
Commentators of Karol Wojtyła's philosophical thought usually offer three types of its interpretation. Some of triem claim that Wojtyła's philosophy belongs to the category of classical philosophy of being. Other scholars believe that it is a variety of realistic phenomenology Most frequently, Wojtyla's philosophical thought is interpreted as synthesis of the philosophies of being and consciousness. Yet, there are serious reasons to believe that Wojtyla's thought is essentially the philosophy of human existence drama, having different qualities from the philosophy created by Józef Tischner. The paper contributes to the development of the latter interpretation.What is the main structure and characteristics of this philosophy? Primarily, it is a realistic phenomenology. Its specific character is determined by the fact that it does not exclude hermeneutics and implies a definite ontology. While describing, interpreting and explaining the intra-personal drama, the drama between humans as well as between God and human being, Karol Wojtyła applies the notions of the philosophy of being, consciousness philosophy, axiological ethics and community personalism. Although Karol Wojtyła's philosophical creativity is essentially far from poetic language, yet it relies profoundly on the Evangelical metaphor of wheat grain: <i>I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds</i> (John 12:24).
Ład międzynarodowy w kontekście procesów globalizacyjnych. Próba refleksji
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2007) Artymiak, Regina
The conclusion of the Cold War, and the resulting transformation of political relations system, resulted in the need to develop international order contributing to the general sense of global security. This objective has obtained additional significance in relation to the model of nation-state. In conditions of the market globalisation of products, capital and information, the position of nation-state has undergone important changes. However, majority of commentaries and scenarios built on the basis of current international circumstances underline that nation-state will remain the main agent creating global order based on the principles of partnership and equal rights, rather than domination.
Postmodernism and globalization
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2007) Hauer, Tomáš
The treatise attempts at the philosophical analysis of the public area category. It points out the dissension between the traditional and postmodern definition of this conception, and the consequences resulting from these different attitudes. As far as the methodology is concerned, the study is based on J. F. Lyotard, presenting the postmodern approach as an essential contribution. In postmodern public area we can meet rwo basie types of dissentions, while only the first of them can be solved by further grow, of specialization and knowledge, while the second one needs, in each case, an a priori decision.
Populizm w kontekście współczesnej formy demokracji na przykładzie wyborów parlamentarnych w Polsce w latach 2001 i 2005
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2007) Olszyk, Sabina
In democratic states, where authority is earned from will of nation, social and politic life of people concentrates around the problem, how to win others over to realize one's own intention. Individual actors of political scene use various catches: they announce demagogie platitude, they »feed« people promises, which cannot be kept and a purpose of this endeavour is to win as many followers as possible. Such behaviors are defined by a name of populism, inereasing particularly during electoral campaign. There has been also detailed the evolution stages of populism and its kinds depending on world part in which it arose. 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.
