Truth in Religion, Science, and Postmodernism

In this paper different approaches to the concept of truth are compared. Many changes in the concept of truth result in making it a zero notion. Similar processes are described in Max Müller’s conception of the genesis of religion. In this respect we sug-gest that postmodern philosophy should be treated as a new mythology.

Czego brakuje sztuce współczesnej? Kuspit i Baudrillard

My basic attempt in this article is to answer the question: „What is contemporary art missing from?”. I am going to place my answer in the wide context of Kuspit’s and Baudrillard’s considerations. These two authors describe contemporary art in the strong way pointing towards many negative phenomena which are to be found in it. Their attention is first of all drawn to the breaking of the relation between art and aesthetics which in consequence cause the end of art and aesthetics. However they basically differ with respect to the evaluation of the phenomenon of a divorce between art and aesthetics

The article analyzes the alienation of the main character of the manga series Death Note, who owns the Death Notebook referred to in the title. The said notebook allows to kill any person. Drawing upon the theses of Michel Foucault related to the rights of monarchs of bygone times to condemn individuals to death, and to ritualizing death itself, the author of the article shows Kira as a continuator of the said monarchs. The motif of death from the hands of another person is indicated as a form of revenge for harms suffered by one, based on considerations by Jean Baudrillard. The text also aims to show that comic books are not just entertainment for the masses, but can convey serious content instead.

“The Most Photographed Barn in America”: Simulacra of the Sublime in American Art and Photography

In White Noise (1985) by Don DeLillo, two characters visit a famous barn, described as the “most photographed barn in America” alongside hordes of picture-taking tourists. One of them complains the barn has become a simulacrum, so that “no one sees” the actual barn anymore. This implies that there was once a real barn, which has been lost in the “virtual” image. This is in line with Plato’s concept of the simulacrum as a false or “corrupt” copy, which has lost all connection with the “original.” Plotinus, however, offered a different definition: the simulacrum distorts reality in order to reveal the invisible, the Ideal. There is a real building which has been called “the most photographed barn in America”: the Thomas Moulton Barn in the Grand Teton National Park. The location-barn in the foreground, mountain range towering over it-forms a striking visual composition. But the site is not only famous because it is photogenic. Images of the barn in part evoke the heroic struggles of pioneers living on the frontier. They also draw on the tradition of the “American sublime.” Ralph Waldo Emerson defined the sublime as “the influx of the Divine mind into our mind.” He followed Plotinus in valuing art as a means of “revelation”-with the artist as a kind of prophet or “seer.” The photographers who collect at the Moulton Barn are themselves consciously working within this tradition, and turning themselves into do-it-yourself “artist-seers.” They are the creators, not the slaves of the simulacrum.

The Catch of the Hyperreal: Yossarian and the Ideological Vicissitudes of Hyperreality

Hyperreality is a key term in Jean Baudrillard’s cultural theory, designating a phase in the development of image where it “masks the absence of a profound reality.” The ambiance of Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 (1961) closely corresponds to Baudrillard’s notion of the hyperreal as images persist to precede reality in the fictional world of the novel. Since for Baudrillard each order of simulacra produces a certain mode of ideological discourse that impacts the perception of reality, it is plausible that the characters of this fictional context should be ideologically impacted by the hyperreal discourse. From this vantage point it is possible to have a new critical assessment of Yossarian’s (protagonist) antiheroic stance and study the role of the “business of illusion,” whose ideological edifice is based on the discourse of the hyperreal, on his antiheroic stance and actions. By drawing on Baudrillard’s cultural theory this paper aims to read Heller’s novel as a postmodern allegory of rebellion against the hyperreality of the twentieth-century American life and trace its relevance to modern-day U.S.

vol. 14
EN
The issue that is taken in the article concerns the problem of the essence of hermeneutics. Taking into consideration the Herbert Schnädelbach’s conception of “morbus hermeneuticus”, the author develops the reflection on the status of hermeneutics in philosophy. In the discussion about ideas of freedom of cognitive process the views of M. Polanyi, O. Marquard, R. Girard, G. Simmel, J. Baudrillard, M. Foucault, J. Derrida are presented. In addition, the author introduces the concepts of chaos theory and theory of contingency. Based on the indicated culture’s texts author tries to find a positive evaluation of hermeneutic method, which should be understood in a more extended sense and thus not seen as a state of disease (morbus hermeneuticus).

Bemusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Social Media

In 1985, Neil Postman published Amusing Ourselves to Death, a McLuhan-inspired critique of the transformation of public discourse from 19th-century print culture, with its depth of reading, thought and debate, to the contemporary era of television ‘show business’. Developments since then, most notably the digital revolution, allow us to update Postman’s thesis, to explore the digital age that succeeds the electric broadcast era and its contemporary transformation of culture and politics. This paper argues that digital personalisation has exploded the mass-media world, bursting its mainstream bubble into a foam of individual life-worlds, empowering everyone as the producer of their own realities. Arguing that the key thinker of this era is Philip K. Dick (with his exploration of fictive, split, and personal realities), the paper explores the cultural impact of this new post-truth era of ‘media’ realities and the ‘bemusement’ it produces.

Metanarracja mobilizacji. Ponowoczesność jako bezruch?

PL
O ponowoczesności czyta się często na łamach codziennej prasy i można mieć wrażenie, że jest to słowo-wytrych pozbawione w zasadzie znaczenia. Ten stan rzeczy nie oznacza jednak, że problem rozważany przez Jean-Françoise Lyotarda w Kondycji ponowoczesnej jest już kwestią całkowicie przebrzmiałą. Wydaje się wręcz, że ponowoczesność zbanalizowana domaga się podwójnie wytężonego namysłu, gdyż zapoznaje swoje niepokojące oblicze, które w artykule zostaje nazwane metanarracją mobilizacji. W tym kontekście ponowoczesność, wbrew Lyotardowi, wcale nie nastała. Co więcej, sam Lyotard może być odczytywany jako filozof nowoczesny. W jego pismach obecna jest wszak ideologia mobilizacji. Być może, by rozprawić się z bolączkami współczesności, należy wyjść poza logikę poróżnienia i myśleć w perspektywie demobilizacji. Artykuł przynosi zarys takiego właśnie myślenia.
EN
The term “postmodernity” is nowadays so often used, also in the popular media, that it has become, in principle, devoid of any specific meaning. However, it does not mean that Jean-Françoise Lyotard's considerations in The Postmodern Condition are no longer relevant. On the contrary, the more banal the problem of postmodernity becomes, the more carefully we need to investigate it because in the shadow of the trivial hides a disquieting aspect of the world we live in. This aspect is called in the article the metanarrative of mobilization. In this context, postmodernity, against Lyotard, has not yet come. What is more, Lyotard himself can be considered as a modern philosopher because his writings are liked with the ideology of mobilization. In order to deal with contemporary disturbances one needs to think beyond the logics of the differend, think in terms of demobilization. The article is a sketch of such thinking.

Presented topic includes following issues: 1) hidden dictatorship of the attitudes of ‘nasty people’ (‘diminishers’) and its influence on social relations; 2) strategies of depreciation that are used by ‘nasty people” (sowing incertitude, projections, generalizations, adjudications, psycho manipulations, hidden attacks, conflicting signals, provocations, creating illusory situations without exit); 3) verbal and extraverbal manifestations of the archetypes of ‘tormentor/victim’, ‘hunter/ hunted’, ‘attack/escape’ within the activity of ‘nasty people’; 4) long-term violation of the rules of symbolic interactionism by ‘diminishers’. In terms of methodological contexts there are taken mainly concepts of Jay Carter, Eric Berne, Herbert Blumer and Jean Baudrillard. Among historical contexts there is reference to the concept of neurotic personality (Freud, Horney) within the anthropological framework of seduction attitudes and communication play of evident/hidden. The analysis is proceeded on a set of artifacts that constitute oppressive ‘daily practices’.

Antropologia mapy jako nowa metafizyka

PL
The aim of the research paper is to make use of the map metaphor from Jean Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation as a starting point for the new metaphysics that is congruent with the poetics of postmodernism. The main idea here is to neglect a distinction between epistemology and ontology and to choose a philosophical perspective that breaks through some binary oppositions such as object-subject, fact-fiction, real-virtual etc. The proposed way to do so is to connect the anthropology of map with the philosophy of the other and put them together with the postmodern idea of the sign.
