Incoherence and lack of consequence in endeavors, fragmentation and scattering of various domains of individual's activity appear to be unalienable attributes of 'post-modern' life style. The article contains the characteristic of the four types of post-modern self: the stroller (flâneur), the vagabond, the tourist and the player. Although these types were known in previous epochs, there are two factors that render them 'post-modern': (1) the fact that they have become a 'norm' of behavior in everyday life while previously their role was rather marginal; (2) their simultaneous co-occurrence in the lives of the same people in the same fragments of life, while in 'pre-modern' times their presence in the life of individuals was disjunctive - they were subject to choice; presently one does not choose among them, what is more one does not even need to choose. They are just present. The polyvalence of this situation gives individuals the feeling of freedom, yet there are also negative sides to it. 'Post-modernity' forms a certain stage of the development of individuals and social relations.

The article raises the issue of coherence as the main challenge as well as a deficit of the contemporary social policy. One of the basic ideas connected with the so-called active social policy is coherence, included in the EU policy of coherence that is being implemented. The policy of coherence is above all aims, ideas, directions, the indication of desired states with regard to funds for their realization. Can the challenges for the practice of coherence policy be built around the notion of 'coherence'? Can convergence, inclusion, equality and the stimulation of social capital be built in a coherent way? The author attempts to answer these questions indicating some challenges for the practice of social policy coming from the analysis of such terms as cognitive, structural, social and socio-economic coherence. The analysis leads to specification of the basic elements (challenges) of the practice of coherence policy, among which are the elimination of contradictions, internal integration, efficiency, control and rationality as well as positive attitudes. The consideration of the aims of social policy and the challenges for its practice (that is achieving these aims) allows to speak about coherent social policy, or the coherent policy of activation.

People who do not act on their judgments regarding what they ought to do—their practical judgments—are often considered weak-willed, especially when the judgment is made at a time when the act it favours is plainly possible. Is this a kind of practical irrationality, perhaps due to incoherence between practical reason, which should guide intention and action, and behaviour that fails to conform to a guiding directive? More generally, do normative beliefs with the same kind of self-directive content as practical judgments possess the same sort of rational authority, if indeed they must have any such authority? At least since Aristotle, weak-willed action has often been considered irrational. This paper indicates why that view is plausible, but also why it is too strong. The paper shows how the practical authority of normative judgments can be overridden and why, on the theory of rational action suggested by analysis of such cases, certain initially plausible action-guiding principles are too strong. The concluding part of the paper briefly indicates how that theory can do justice to the analogy between practical and theoretical reason and to the essential connection between the two.

The author starts with an interpretation of the will in the works of A. Schopenhauer and attempts to deduce the basis of rationality of natural language from the principle of will. It develops the thesis that the basis of natural language rationality lies in the objective-subjective will of language practice, including acquisition, operative and reception practices. First he explains the objective and subjective will, then describes these practices in terms of their objective and subjective will and in the end draws attention to the fact that it is a complex linguistic practice. The author's second thesis is that the will is encoded in the coherence of language practices, which is represented by the relationship between the assimilation base and the reactions realized within language practices. He attributes decisive importance to reception practice, which implies that the existence of property of the sense field “natural language” is a comprehensible existence. This existence is an order of its own that functions as the basis of the rationality of natural language.

The claim of linguistics to be a ‘science’ is connected to its ‘objectivity’. The same is true of the philosophy of language. This implies a clear distinction between the language analyst as a ‘knowing subject’ and linguistic phenomena as an ‘external object’. The picture of everyday verbal communication contains the idea of speakers as ‘knowing subjects’ of verbal signals as ‘external objects’. Also, the correspondence theory of truth for natural languages presupposes that the language analyst is a ‘knowing subject’ who can assess the truth of objectified statements in relation to the factual world. The paper questions those ideas, and suggests that the objective orientation in linguistic analysis is a convenient fiction. It is suggested that analysts and speakers are components in a complex communicational totality, and can never be external objective observers of the verbal communication process. Consequently, a coherence theory of truth is more appropriate for language analysis of all types and for our understanding of speaker behaviour.

The theoretical and methodological basis of the authors' study was a model of personality integration by Sheldon and Kasser (1995, 2001), considering personality integration as dependent on two personality constructs: congruence and coherence of strivings (in terms of Emmons 1986, 1992). While the strivings construct proved to be a predicator of well-being and health, no previous research was done to measure the construct in patients with somatoform disorders. In their study, the method of Sheldon and Kasser was applied to compare measures of personal strivings of female somatisers (patients with at least one unexplained physical symptom with a minimum of 6 months duration and paired controls. No member of either group had ever been under psychiatric care and all of them were drug free for more than 2 weeks. Results: external determination, extrinsic vertical coherence and the summed coherence were significantly higher in the S group. Higher order strivings positively, and lower order strivings negatively correlated with several psychological immune system measures in the control group, while much fewer correlations have been found in the somatisers. The NEO-PIR Neuroticism scale was correlated with extrinsically determined strivings in the controls but not in the somatisers. Conclusion: Somatisers seemed to be at a lower level of personality integration and showed a higher level of motivation (perhaps to meet the experimenter's expectations). These characteristics might contribute to the pathology both as causal and maintaining factors.

Perceived safety or danger is a rising topic in the public psychology. The aim of this paper is to determine the relationship between the perception of safety and sense of coherence in specific sample of the Armed forces of the Slovak Republic. To measure sense of coherence we used questionnaire of life orientation from A. Antonovsky which focuses on personality-related stress-resistance resource. Perceived safety, we explored by the selected items using the main questionnaire from the 5th round of the European Social Survey (ESS). The sample consisted of 204 members of the armed forces of which 93.6% were males. The average age of respondents was 31.43 years (SD = 5,795). Task of members of the Armed forces is: to guarantee the security of the state against external attack by a foreign power, as well as obligations arising from international agreements by which the Slovak Republic is tied. Perceived safety can be in this particular sample negatively affected due to the nature of the profession, and we expect a significant relationship to personality related characteristics of the sense of coherence. Interpretation of the results will be described in more detail in the paper.

The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of brief universal drug use prevention program among university students. The changes (pre-and post-program) in scores of sense of coherence (SOC-13; Antonovsky, 1993), resilience (Notario-Pacheco et al., 2011), and alcohol use (AUDIT, Babor, Higgins-Biddle, Suanders, Monteiro, 2001) were explored (34 program participants, 75 students in control group). A statistically significant increase in comprehensibility and resilience, as well as a significant decrease of alcohol use from baseline to follow up measures were found following participation in the program among students in the experimental group. Findings of this study supported flexibility, a potential for changes in cognitive component of SOC, resilience, and alcohol use among university students who participated in short universal drug use prevention program.

This article provides a historical analysis of intellectual and institutional development of the early American sociology. The two most frequent historical narratives, one of the 'intellectual irrelevance', and the other of the 'institutional triumph', examining the legacy of the first American sociologists are confronted and dissected in detail. It is argued that the reconstructions of early American tradition often project current problems into historically specific contexts of the formative period. The problem of continuity/discontinuity of American sociology is interpreted in terms of a historically conditioned 'quest for objectivity and coherence'. The design of the article is historical, theoretical, and conceptual. Its main intention is to identify the key problems put forward by the first American sociologists and to address their conceptions aimed at founding a unified theoretical and methodological approach. Detailed attention is also paid to the attempts at disciplinary separation and identity formation of the early American sociology.
