In the research project, which is to be composed of two substantively and logically connected papers, the authors form such a conceptual framework, that enables characteristic of fractal structures from the point of view of philosophical concept of emergence. In the first part, they present main ideas of the philosophy of emergence as well as they attempt at capturing emergent units in the process of fractals' generating. However, they maintain classical understanding of the relation in question. In the second part, due to demonstration of weaknesses of classical accounts as insufficient in specific context of mathematical structures under scrutiny, the authors show that the discourse about emergence in mathematics becomes meaningful and valid trough adaptation of quasi-empiric approach towards some issues in mathematics, approach grounded in philosophy of formal sciences.

The paper deals with the conception of free will. It describes arguments and counterarguments for free will. Its main aim is to submit a novel argumentation opposite to traditional arguments regarding, for instance, accounting of free will, emergent free will in complex brain or anthropocentric argument with emergent free will in human reason.

The aim of the second part of this philosophical diptych is an attempt at discussing the place of the meta-subject reflection concerning fractal structures in classical issues of the philosophy of mathematics. The authors show that fractal structures lead toward essential broadening of that issues beyond traditional frames of the questions about the nature of mathematical objects (ontology of mathematics) or the status of mathematical knowledge (epistemology of mathematics). Particularly, they are interested in two problems: (1) Does process of generating fractal structures prove that co-called new mathematics has quasi-empirical character and in what meaning of that? and (2) Can the philosophical idea of emergence be applied to characterise the features of that structures?

Some recent approaches to narratology have presented the event as a basic constitutive element of narrativity. The event is considered either a primitive term or something that just happens or may happen, a change from one state to another. The underlying concepts are identity, state, and being. The article describes the event in general and the narrative event in particular from the perspective of the primacy of becoming, change, and flow, employing especially Whitehead's philosophy of process and also certain concepts developed by reception aesthetics. The narrative event is analyzed in the context of the following concatenation: the event - interconnected events - plot - fictional world - the real world and its potentiality. The aim is to understand a narrative event not as an interruption of the receptive flow, but as its change of course among levels of emergence.

The well-known critical analyses of the classical Nagelian model of reduction point at some problems related to the explanatory power of bridge laws. The functional model of reduction, proposed by Kim as an alternative, denies the necessity of bridge laws, and -using the functional model of explanation - tries to avoid them. This paper analyses the characteristics of both Nagelian and functional reduction, and shows that the implicit thesis of functional reduction stating that bridge laws are avoidable, is in fact untenable. By recognizing the inevitability of bridge laws, a new model of reduction can be formulated. The new model of reduction provides an appropriate framework to treat emergent phenomena - which were traditionally incompatible with reductive physicalism - together with the classical examples of reduction. This paper introduces the notion of emergent reduction, a new interpretation of emergent phenomena, which lifts emergence out of the standard examples of contemporary non-reductive physicalism. The corner-stone of the new interpretation of emergent phenomena is the recognition of the similarity between emergent laws and fundamental laws. The investigation of this similarity draws attention to the importance of scientific frame-theories.

The presented study poses a question of whether „cyberphenomenon“ or the emergence of global electronic network as a product of human ambition to control complex processes truly creates „a consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators” as described by W.Gibson in his novel Neuromancer, or whether, on the contrary, it helps to unravel the illusions of Matrix we call reality. It is subdivided into several sections, which attempt to unmask the false and self-complacent beliefs we hold regarding media, technology, culture, communication and dialogue, social norms, environment, evolution, family and identity. Further, it challenges the benefits of quantification and probes into the validity of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. It also focuses on the criticism of current obsession with youth and technology and the “white male” perspective on the development of society resulting in a paradigm shift from “pain” to “pleasure” and behaviour patterns typical of the adolescent developmental stage. The new paradigm shift brings several serious implications, especially the ignorance of aging and death and the resulting treatment of those terminally ill as a burden to society thereby depriving them of human dignity in the most serious crisis of their lives. In the conclusion it offers an anthropological perspective as a means of pushing both individual and society out of the “attractor basin” of their long-held cultural stereotypes and as a potential route to genuine dialogue.

CONSCIOUSNESS AS A RELATIVELY ISOLATED SYSTEM.FUNDAMENTALS OF INGARDENIAN ONTOLOGY OF MIND (Swiadomosc jako system wzglednie izolowany. U podstaw Ingardenowej ontologii umyslu)

The analyses Ingarden had carried out of relatively isolated systems are important from the point of view of the ontology of mind as they lead to a precise description of the form and the mode of existence of consciousness within the multilevel structure of human existence and in a broader context of the causal structure of the physical world. Ingarden's position regarding the form and mode of existence of consciousness and the role of relatively isolated system in the structure of human being is compatible with the results of contemporary research within the general systems theory, dynamical systems theory and cognitive neuroscience. Still, in many respects it exceeds their findings. The account of consciousness as a relatively isolated system leads to rejection of the main assumptions of the transcendental (in a Husserlian sense) philosophy of mind and becomes compatible with the interdisciplinary research programme dealing with the analysis of the systemic nature of a human being and his mental dimension.
