It has been argued that consciousness is not possible without peripheral self-consciousness; i.e., without an implicit awareness of oneself as the subject of one’s mental state. The author ś purpose is to undermine this view. He contend that a subject’s first-personal access to her conscious mental states and an awareness of them as hers, along with a particular approach to consciousness according to which a subject cannot be unconsciously conscious of things motivate the view that consciousness is not possible without self-consciousness. In order to undermine this view he argues that not all conscious states are accompanied by a sense of mineness. He rejects also the reasons for endorsing an approach to consciousness according to which a subject cannot be unconsciously conscious of things. Then he examines critically Kriegel’s arguments for the dependence of consciousness on self-consciousness based on the first-personal access a subject has to her conscious mental states and discuss the difficulties involved.

Psychological theories of persuasion usually focus on the issue of a change of peoples' attitudes towards object of persuasion. Among other factors, they take into account the role of sender's attributes in the change of those attitudes. However, they omit the fact that persuasive actions also change the way of how the persuader is perceived. The results of two experiments are presented in the article. The changes in the impression of the sender's credibility impact receiver's attitude towards the object of persuasion. The improvement of the impression of the sender leads to decrease of difference between receiver's and sender's issue position. The deterioration of impression leads to higher attachment of the receiver to his/her initial issue position (experiment 1) and causes moving back from the position of the sender when he/she is taking clear position (experiment 2).

Theoretical and empirical prerequisites suggest that cognitive structures, therein self-awareness, demonstrate connections with religiousness. The whole spectrum of statements, even among classical scholars of psychology, can be found in psychological analyses devoted to religiousness issues. They range from those stressing that the man reaches a complete self-awareness only in the transcendental act of contact with God, to those indicating that religious experience is caused merely by a well-developed self-awareness. The presented research touches upon issues concerning the cognitive correlates of religiousness. The subject of study were connections between types of relation to God and self-awareness, defined as a course of processing information about self and about relations with the environment. The study group comprises women who belong to monastic societies (N=110), aged between 22 and 31 years (M=26,43; SD=2,49), with 4- up to 9-year experience of living in the order. The Self-awareness Scale by Z. Zaborowski and the Scale of Relation to God by D. Hutsebaut were applied in the study. The empirical research verified the preliminarily formulated research hypothesis, indicating the presence of statistically significant connections between the self-awareness type and religiousness. External self-awareness demonstrates the strongest connection with religiousness, whereas personal self-awareness - the weakest.

Theory of Mind (ToM) is the lifespan developing ability to attribute mental states. This ability enables the individual to predict and interpret one’s own and others’ behaviour. In this respect, beliefs about one’s own capacity to attribute mental states represent a fundamental component of this construct. The present study aims to compare the unidimensional structure of the Mind-reading Belief Scale, evaluating beliefs about personal ToM skills, with an alternative two-factor model, which could better explain the latent structure of the scale outlining the relational nature of the construct through the articulation self-other. Moreover, the relations with self-construal, as a pivotal element for subjective differentiation, were also investigated. Our data support the two-factor model as a better structuring of the pool of original items. Finally, the correlations found with self-construal scales indicate that self-construal is involved in defining beliefs about one’s own meta-representational skills.

A phenomenological approach is not only a matter of academic philosophy; it is also effectively applied in the field of psychotherapeutic practice. Technology of self-awareness – in the sense of self-experiencing of our existence in the world – developed on the phenomenological grounds aims primarily at the integration of behaviour observed and experiencing deeper levels of personal condition with an ambition to get as close as possible to the situation experienced. The connection of Gestalt therapy and its specific theoretical model of “field” with modern phenomenological concept of “event” can be seen as a paradigmatic example of the application of such a method. The existential analysis of French philosopher Henri Maldiney is the back-ground of the description of contemporary art-therapeutic approaches with an emphasis on the key categories of the whole process, i.e. self-awareness and openness.

The contributors to this volume (historians of art, of literature, of linguistics, and of architecture, as well as a practicing artist), acknowledging the tectonic shifts in academic practice and historical self-awareness prompted by post-Soviet and post-Yugoslav events, rethink the nature, subjects, and objectives of the avant-garde, both the historical ones of the early twentieth century and their more recent iterations. The present selection affords a rich introduction to some of the most imaginative thinking currently being focused on Eastern European modernism.

The analysis in the text presented concerns the phenomenon of self-cre- ation and self-perception, referring Paul de Man’s contemplations in the Autobiography as De-facement study, as well as early monography by Em- manuel Levinas, From Existence to Existents. Self-creational and autobi- ographical statement or action reveal moments in which a certain mul- tithreading is exposed, a tear, which becomes a basis for the analysis of works by Chuck Close, Yves Klein, Cy Twombly and Marina Abramović. Self- perception and self-introspection lay at grassroots of thinking and artistic creativity, and in a way also self-mythology of solipsistic ego. By creating a self-portrait the artist duels oneself in a most difficult self-creative clash. Impersonal “I” as another form of revealing “I”, it exposes through, among others, vigil and insomnia as a particular state of mind, similar to de Man’s “blurring” of the mind described by me.
