AIn the overview study the author outlines 'the poetics of chaos', which is programmatically present in Polish, Czech and Slovak cultural context approximately from the 1960s. He also asks whether this term can be understood as a legitimate and a correct literary-aesthetic category or whether we should rather speak about an estranging metaphor which arches over the problematic of dynamic, non-linear and pulsating structures. Although it is a term describing processes in natural sciences (quantum physics, deterministic chaos and fractal geometry) it is gradually emerging in human sciences (especially in philosophy, aesthetics and literary science). In a short historical sketch, the author of the study follows the beginnings of this poetics in modern art, in the avant-garde, in formalism and in Czech structuralism. He considers Mukarovský's article 'Intentionality and Non-Intentionality in Art' (Zámernost a nezámernost v umeni) to be the key text in which Mukarovský argues that a work of art as a whole is not only a product of an intentional creative process but of many things that transcend intentionality. The article further explores the influence of 'the poetics of chaos' on theoretical thinking in the 1980s and in the 1990s. From the diachronic point of view the author calls the attention to the oscillatory character of this poetics. There are periods in which the need for a formal and semantic unification stresses the basic creative principle. At other times this formal and semantic unity is disturbed. The preference for aesthetic categories which are closer to 'the poetics of chaos' is typical of transitory periods. After they have gradually faded, came the need for synthesis, harmony and wholeness.

Chaos as a religious, philosophical or mathematical concept, is very important in culture. Initially a part of myth, the notion of chaos was transformed throughout the ages by many legends and stories and thus its basic idea was differently interpreted. In simple terms, chaos designates a situation or condition whereby there is no order between elements and nothing works correctly. Fantasy literature makes use of chaos as struggle between antagonistic powers, between aspirations to establish harmony in the domains of the physical, the intellect and the spirit. The present article is concerned with the functioning of chaos as an element of the world represented in fantasy literature. Among other issues taken up here are: chaos and the problem of good and evil; personal chaos; chaos in the structures of the universe and of the world. As for the structure of text, the composition pattern of fantasy books – with its variants and invariants – is essential for the very functioning of the genre since what the reader recognizes and accepts is the structure itself.

The article addresses the problem of the city as a semiotic space that is defined by its boundary. The first part of the paper presents some of the models of this semiotic boundary and then looks at the city in Bohumil Hrabal’s novel In-House Weddings (1984). Methodologically, the article draws on semiotic works of J. M. Lotman and K. H. Stierle. Hrabal’s novel provides an image of the city in the period of political upheaval. This can be seen as a re-coding of the old arrangement of the city to a new one and is exemplified on the fates of several characters. Several borderline protagonists, namely the central protagonist – the narrator – and the character of the doctor come to the fore in this process. These, rather than creating the outer limits of the city, form its inner boundaries. They share some features with the inhabitants of the city, but also occupy the position of strangers. They belong neither to the old nor the new political establishment and attempt to flee the city or view it from the position that is different from both relatively static establishments. Further on, a key role in this respect is played by elements of disorder owing to which the city’s semiosphere vanishes into unrestrained chaos. In this respect, it is possible to relate Hrabal’s text to the catastrophic model that exceeds the purely semiotic approach.

The focus of my paper are modern conceptualizations of the extra-discursive, non-symbolic primal materiality of the real, transcendent world. My reconstructions indicate that modern philosophical, literary theoretical and literary representations of the chaotic, autonomous matter of the world along with the subjective experience of the presence of such a domain employ mainly aquatic and nautical metaphors for various representations that all stem from the similar or analogous basic metaphysical and anthropological assumptions.

Advanced simulation and/or experimentation in virtual laboratories help to better understand the complex economic phenomena without sophisticated mathematical skills. That is useful for acquiring economic knowledge too. The economic laboratories created in Excel and STELLA for analysing dynamical behaviour of nonlinear economic models are exhibited. Such devices help to understand the complex behaviour of dynamic economic systems at least in qualitative imaginations. There are several cases of emergences of qualitative phenomena such as equilibrium-disequilibrium, bifurcation to orbit with several periods and/or to deterministic chaos in simple discrete non-linear systems. In order to demonstrate this, the author used an example of Day's descriptive theory of economic growth with environmental factors, and 'Hermann's' modification of 'Kaldorian' cyclical growth.

This paper concerns political philosophy of Agamben, which I consider as variety of philosophy of relations. The important point of reference for Agamben are concepts of Jean-Luc Nancy and Michel Serres. According to this, as I show in my sketch, this associations are only superficial. In my opinion consequent philosophy of relations undermines main theses of Agamben's philosophical project.

The paper deals with the concepts of GOOD and BAD as reflected in the Bulgarian lexical system within the framework of the Cognitive Metaphor Theory, developed by Lakoff and Johnson. The study claims that the concepts of GOOD and BAD are undoubtedly grounded in human experience but are conceptualized by means of metaphors as such concepts do not exist objectively in the physical world but result from human understanding of it. The cognitive metaphors discussed in the paper are studied with reference to human understanding of order, orderliness and disorder, chaos in the world.

Kategorie DOBRA i ZŁA w języku bułgarskim na podstawie wyobrażeń o ŁADZIE i PORZĄDKU oraz NIEPORZĄDKU i CHAOSIEW artykule poddano analizie koncepty DOBRA i ZŁA, odzwierciedlone w systemie leksykalnym języka bułgarskiego, z perspektywy kognitywnej teorii metafory G. Lakoffa i M. Johnsona. Badanie opiera się na założeniu, że koncepty DOBRO i ZŁO należą niewątpliwie do bezpośredniego doświadczenia ludzkiego, ale mimo to podlegają metaforyzacji dzięki faktowi, że nie istnieją obiektywnie, lecz są wynikiem ludzkiego rozumienia świata. Analiza zebranego materiału prowadzi do wniosku, że przedstawione w opracowaniu kognitywne metafory bazują na pojęciach ładu i porządku oraz nieporządku i chaosu w świecie.
