Public discussion around the accessibility of Artificial Reproduction Technology (ART) in Poland is not limited to considerations of the moral aspects of medical intervention into human fertility. Scientists of various disciplines get involved in these discussions as opponents to this form of procreation. Referring to research conducted all over the world, they suggest that children born thanks to the in vitro procedure are significantly more susceptible to all sorts of disease. The author, on the basis of available research data, shows that in reality worse health condition of in vitro-conceived children deals with a narrow number of well-identified disorders and in most cases is of correlative, not causative nature – mainly because weaker health of those children is usually connected with advanced age of the parents who choose IVF and their own state of health (mothers’ in particular), as compared to those who become parents in the natural way. The author also believes that loading the potential parents with anxiety about the health condition of their children should be treated as a delayed negative consequence of the ART methods application.

The essay concerns the work of Joanna Mueller, who is one of the main representatives of polish linguistic poetry. Her project combines the tradition of linguistic poetry and body experience. This strategy requires the development of a new understanding of the language, which will no longer be conceived as a trap references, but rather as one of many elements of reality. The best way to describe the work of the poet’s imagery is stratification, both in terms of the attitudes adopted by Mueller, by the subjects, to the construction of the poem. Equally important it seems to be the prospect of motherhood, both in terms of artistic activity, as well as the practices of life.

The text deals with the question whether Hannah Arendt was influenced by Franz Rosenzweig’s Der Stern der Erlösung (1921) before writing Der Liebesbegriff bei Augustin (1929). Instead of building general analogies, I studied two very specific topics – the world and birth – to demonstrate that Arendt repeated almost verbatim Rosenzweig’s entire peculiar argumentation which played the notions of God and nature against each other to combat their overwhelming power and to make room for the contingency of the world and the novelty of each birth. Facing the helplessness of a philosophy which ignored mortality, Rosenzweig cried out the lament of the finite being. Philosophy, with its predilection for totality, lost adequate proportions to reflect on life. Arendt revived this paradigmatic reorientation, but with a significant twist: for her, birth and the world meant more than God for Rosenzweig. Both thinkers projected a language between philosophy and theology, inciting the two idioms to a fruitful debate.

Moses is undoubtedly one of the greatest biblical figures. His life and the role he played in the history of ancient Israel are exceptional. The paper is an attempt at a synthetic presentation of Moses' role in the history of salvation. In the first part the author analyzes the description of the birth of Moses and his mission, contained in the Pentateuch. The secondpart focuses on the analysis of the elements that make up the historical value of this figure, and the third part contains the analysis of the theological aspect of parallelism between Moses and Jesus.

The subject of life, birth and death constitutes one of the main topics in Democritus’ reflection on human questions. He seeks to understand what men think about the processes of birth and death and how they, accordingly, determine their behavior and attitudes. His reflections comprise a wide range of perspectives and aspects that include examining human behaviour and investigating how it reveals a certain temperament or inclination, inquiring about the nature of these processes and extending the analyses of the processes of birth and death to whole beings through the couple generation-corruption. In the present paper, I intend to examine the main theses and arguments which appear in the testimonies and fragments through which Democritus’ thought was transmitted from antiquity. Furthermore, I will also discuss the hypotheses that for Democritus the most important opposition was not life-death, but rather birth-death and that, at the same time, his idea of nature and life comprises both processes in the perspective of atomistic philosophy. I shall show that corruption has to be considered in two different ways, that is, in the context of physical processes that keep the kosmos in its persistence and in the context of the existence of natural beings, both living and lifeless.

Article “Birth - Strategies of Description in Efemeros by Bazyli Rudomicz” is an attempt to analyze ways of describing a seventeenth-century memoirist. The author draws attention to what a Rudomicz dealt with and interested in, distinguishing individual strategies for creating notes in his diary. The memoirist presents himself as a person who creates various discourses, depending on the way he looked at a given situation. Rudomicz was involved in individual roles. He looked at events as not only a observer, but also as a father, doctor or as a burgher seeking sensation and novelty. He described what was most important or new to him, which gave him the opportunity to observe significant people. Completly differently he described which seemed universal in his opinion, or something he was accustomed about.

This essay aims to bring to the fore the varied and broad valences of the ‘mound’ in Beckett’s oeuvre. In my reading, the mound functions as a profuse, multi-purpose symbol, that coalesces into a variety of topoi indicative of Mother Earth, that figure in the thighs, the nipples, the pubis/pubic area and bones, ruins, ants, birth, fetus, and elemental maternal death. I embarked upon the present study before the commencement of the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project, a collaborative project between the Centre for Manuscript Genetics at the University of Antwerp, the Beckett International Foundation, the University of Reading and Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, the University of Texas at Austin. Valorising the author’s editing, additions, notes and comments provided by the upcoming digitalized manuscripts of Beckett in 2014 and 2015, I expect to contribute to the work in progress, and to the corpus of Beckett studies in general, especially those approaching his bilingual works. It is my contention that the frequency of certain terms, the diagrams that Beckett included in some of his letters (as is the case of the mound in Happy Days), shed significant light on the nature of his symbolism.

The article deals with the experience of pregnancy and early motherhood in relation to the milieu of the magnates and nobility of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the first half of the 18th century. The analysis covers extensive source material which includes the preserved collections of private correspondence of representatives of wealthy nobility and magnates, with particular emphasis on the female half of this population. In turn, this material has been split by selected key issues, such as: trying to have children, pregnancy, birth, postpartum period, and early motherhood. Problems resulting from these stages of motherhood have been analysed in a broad context, considering both mental issues - fulfilling the socially expected role of wife and mother, dealing with new situations and diffi culties, building relationships with new-born children - and physical elements, such as health, sickness, dealing with weakness and new responsibilities.

Demografia biznesu to ważna podstawa informacyjna do podejmowania strategicznych decyzji biznesowych. Pozwala organom instytucjonalnym na optymalne dostosowanie polityki w zakresie rozwoju przedsiębiorczości w gospodarce narodowej w takich obszarach jak rozwój regionalny, zatrudnienie, bezrobocie, edukacja, źródła finansowania małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw, polityka innowacyjna, uproszczenie procedur biurokratycznych, itp. Wskaźniki demografii przedsiębiorstw, odzwierciedlając dostosowywanie struktur gospodarczych do zmieniających się warunków rynkowych, charakteryzują dynamikę rozwoju gospodarczego. Ponadto pozwalają ocenić możliwy wkład, jaki mogą wnieść nowo utworzone przedsiębiorstwa w rozwiązanie problemu bezrobocia poprzez tworzenie nowych miejsc pracy. Jednocześnie organizacja jest postrzegana przede wszystkim jako wspólnota ludzi, a optymalizacja kapitału jest prezentowana jako element uzupełniający do optymalizacji zatrudnienia. W opracowaniu oprócz analizy klasycznych wskaźników demografii biznesu, takich jak aktywność przedsiębiorstw, „narodziny”, „śmierć”, „przetrwanie”, zaproponowano nowy wskaźnik: naturalny wzrost liczby organizacji na Białorusi, liczony zarówno ogółem, jak i według rodzaju działalności gospodarczej. Wykorzystano model regresji, który ujawnił zależność między zmianami demografii biznesu a zatrudnieniem. Badanie pozwala na wypracowanie rekomendacji dla działań w zakresie rozwoju przedsiębiorczości. Zestaw działań wspierających przedsiębiorczość staje się integralną częścią polityki gospodarczej kraju, ważnym czynnikiem zwiększającym poziom „przetrwania” przedsiębiorstw i zwiększającym udział organizacji „szybko rozwijających się”. Przyczynia się to do osiągnięcia celów zrównoważonego rozwoju. Stymulowanie rozwoju i wspieranie małego biznesu, który potrafi szybko reagować na zmiany warunków rynkowych, pomoże zapewnić gospodarce „koronawirusowej” niezbędną elastyczność, co jest szczególnie ważne w kontekście COVID-19.

Business demography is an important information basis for making strategic decisions in the business area. This allows institutional bodies to optimally adjust their policies regarding the development of entrepreneurship nationally in such areas as regional development, employment, unemployment, education, sources of financing for small and medium-sized businesses, innovation policy, simplification of bureaucratic procedures, etc. Business demographic indicators characterise the dynamics of economic development through the adaptation of economic structures to changing market conditions. In addition, they assess the potential contribution that new start-ups can make to the important employment problem through job creation. At the same time, the organisation is primarily seen as a community of people, and capital optimisation is presented as an addition to the optimisation of people. In the study, in addition to analysing the classic indicators of business demography such as the activity population of enterprises, “birth”, “survival” (up to five years after birth), “death”, etc., a new indicator was proposed for implementation: the natural increase rate in the number of organisations in Belarus calculated both for the economy and for the types of economic activity. The study will help to develop recommendations for developing measures in the field of entrepreneurship development using a regression model that identifies the relationship between changes in business demographics and employment. A set of measures to support entrepreneurship are becoming an integral part of national economic policy, a powerful factor in increasing the level of “survival” of enterprises and increasing the share of “fast-growing” organisations. This contributes to the achievement of sustainable development goals. Stimulating development and support for small business, with the ability to quickly respond to changes in market conditions, will help provide the “coronavirus” economy with the necessary flexibility, an especially important factor in the context of COVID-19.

The family – formerly and today – was the basic nuclear family. The material is too huge, so only three aspects of the family life are presented: marriage, the birth of a child and the death of a family member. In these moments, an important part was the beliefs of the ancient Greeks. On the wedding day, it was watched that all the rituals were fulfilled. For good fortune sacrifices were made to the gods. And on the day of the wedding at night, they wandered with torches for the joy of Hestia and to drive off the night deities. When the child was born, the mother had to perform a ritual purification. But accepting a newborn child depended on his father. If he accepted the child, he walked around the hearth, the domain of Hestia. Death is an inseparable moment in every family. What were the family's duties for the gods and deceased ancestors? They tried to give the grave all the important things, so that the soul would safely go to Hades. The family gave a honey cake to Cerber's dog and an obolon for Charon. In the Greek family religion was important and was an inseparable element in ancient Greece.

Although dying as the last act of life constitutes part of our earthly existence, death is difficult to accept. Faced with death an individual has always started asking questions about the meaningfulness of his/ her life and life after death. In the contemporary western culture characterized among others by the collapse of the social structures, people very rarely die surrounded by their families as they used to do, but in hospitals, i.e. in isolation, suffering from loneliness, connected to a range of technologically advanced medical devices. Socio-cultural changes have brought about a conviction that death ends human existence. Catholic faith, however, offers hope that death provides access to desirable future events. As a pass-through state death is the end and the beginning, since after death life is transformed. Consequently, we die trustfully hoping to be rewarded with eternal life.

W artykule podjęto problem traumy narodzin – zdarzenia, według Ottona Ranka, konstytutywnego dla losu każdego człowieka. Nawiązanie do teorii Errosa,zaproponowanej przez Agatę Bielik-Robson, pozwala ponownie włączyć tę koncepcję w obszar dyskusji na temat kondycji człowieka, dialektyki popędów, życia, śmierci oraz erotyki. Nawiązanie do badań empirycznych z psychologii prenatalnej i perinatalnej ukazuje słabsze strony propozycji Ottona Ranka.

The article discusses the problem of birth trauma, which according to Otto Rank is a constitutive event for the lot of every human being. Reference to the Erros theory, proposed by Agata Bielik-Robson, enables re-including this concept in the area of discussion on the human condition, the dialectic of drives, life, death and eroticism. The reference to empirical research in perinatal psychology shows weaknesses of Otto Rank’s proposal.

The author proposes an interpretation of the pericope of Matt 1,18-25 that emphasizes some Mariological aspects in the context of the first canonical Gospel.The author attests to the fact that the virgin birth of Mary is not given any special justification in Matt 1,18-25 nor is it an object of any special theological reflection because the pericope in question (Matt 1,18-25) is a self-contained narrative in which St. Matthew depicts the birth of Jesus as an exceptional event in the economy of salvation. And he does so for two reasons: because the virgin birth itself as well as the whole presented event (cf. Matt 1,22) is a fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecy of Is 7,14 (cf. Matt 1,22b-23) and because the fact that Mary conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit becomes a logical ground for acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God. Nevertheless, the Evangelist also allows for the Mariological theme in a very special way.The author of the article reaches a number of crucial Mariological conclusions which are the guiding ideas of his research, i.e. that in Matt 1,18-25 Mary is portrayed even more expressively than in the pericope presenting the genealogy of Jesus (Matt 1,1-17 especially Matt 1,16). St. Matthew depicts Mary as a remarkable person, very significant in the fulfillment of God’s plan of saving humanity. Mary plays an invaluable role in the pericope of Matt 1,18-25. Since the times of the prophet Isaiah she was the chosen Virgin who would give birth to the Emmanuel. Thus, she can be described as a mediator of God’s actions in His plan of saving all humanity. But in Matt 1,18-25 St. Matthew does not mention any personal deeds of Mary.The author attests to the fact that Mary is the virgin and immaculate Mother of Jesus, the Messiah, the Christ, Son of David and Son of God. This leads to a conclusion that Mary is the Mother of the Emmanuel. And because her motherhood is the result of the Holy Spirit’s action (Matt 1,18.20) the Church owes to her the Master, the Son of God who stands by the Church “always, [even] unto the end of the world” (Matt 28,20).Keywords

У статті розглянуті релігійні та культурні особливості представників різних віросповідань за матеріалами метричних книг щодо народжених, одружених та померлих. Для виявлення та дослідження особливостей фіксації інформації у метричних книгах були застосовані порівняльний та історико-культурний методи. Надзвичайно великий інформаційний потенціал метричних книг та їх задовільний стан дають можливість дослідження релігійних та культурних особливостей, які характерні для представників різних віросповідань. Дослідження виявило відмінності щодо фіксації даних серед представників православного населення (шанування святих при наданні імен немовлятам, шлюбний обшук), а також іудеїв (обряд обрізання хлопчиків та шлюбний договір «ксубба-ктубба») та німецькомовного населення (подвійні імена немовлят, оголошення перед укладанням шлюбу).

Celem artykułu jest przegląd cech religijnych i kulturowych, które znajdują odzwierciedlenie na stronach ksiąg metrykalnych różnych wyznań. Dla określenia i przebadania religijnych i kulturowych cech informacji w księgach metrykalnych, należy zastosować metody porównawcze i historyczno-kulturowe. Niezwykle duży potencjał informacyjny cerkiewnych akt stanu cywilnego oraz ich zadawalający stan dają możliwość badania religijnych i kulturowych odmienności, charakterystycznych dla przedstawicieli różnych wyznań religijnych. Analiza ujawniła odmienność zapisów informacji pomiędzy społecznościami: prawosławną (kult świętych wyrażający się w wyborze imion nadawanym dzieciom); żydowską (ceremoniał obrzezania niemowląt płci męskiej, kontrakt ślubny – ketuba); niemieckojęzycznej (nadawanie dzieciom podwójnych imion, zapowiedzi przed zawarciem ślubu).

This article is an attempt to review religious and cultural features and to find published images on the pages of parish registers of different creeds. To determine and study the relevant and cultural features of the information recording in the parish registers, we considered appropriate to consolidate the comparative and historical-cultural method. The interest of scholars and novelty are proved due to the extremely large information potential of the church reports of civil status, considering their large array in the state archives and satisfactory physical status, suitable for appendage.The study of ecclesiastical acts of civil status makes it possible to study the religious and cultural peculiarities via the records characteristic for representatives of different religions. We should separately mention the peculiarities of the entries in parish registers of the Orthodox population regarding the veneration of holy figures according to the church calendar, which impacted the naming of newborns. Jewish records are characterized by the rite of circumcision of newborn boys and records as for a marriage contract (“ksubba / ktubba”).German-language parish registers attract attention to the double names given to newborn babies, the obligation to declare an forthcoming marriage, and the presence of family information in records of the deceased.

Ciało–dusza a narodziny i śmierć człowieka: opinia Benedykta Hessego w średniowiecznej dyskusji Przedstawiona problematyka została omówiona na podstawie wybranych komentarzy do traktatu Arystotelesa O duszy, tworzonych w nurcie tzw. via moderna, zwłaszcza jego głównych przedsawicieli: Jana Burydana, Mikołaja Oresme i Londoriusza z Lindores. W tym kontekście powstały krakowskie komentarze m.in. Benedykta Hessego i Anonima, nawiązujące do paryskich nominalistów. Przeprowadzone analizy tekstów pozwalają stwierdzić, że mimo opinii Wilhelma Ockhama, kwestionującej możliwość filozoficznego poznania duszy, późnośredniowieczni zwolennicy nominalizmu nie rezygnowali ze spekulacji na temat początku człowieka (narodzin) i śmierci, czyli oddzielenia duszy od ciała, a także losu duszy po śmierci. Skupili się oni na naturze materii ludzkiego ciała (embrion, nasienie) i jego relacji do duszy (formy) – w momencie narodzin. W problematyce śmierci XIV-wieczni uczeni podjęli próby uzasadnienia psychofizycznej jedności istoty ludzkiej istniejącej po śmierci w postaci nieśmiertelnej duszy. Jeśli nie potrafili znaleźć zadowalającego rozwiązania tych aporetycznych kwestii, mieli odwagę przyznać, że nie jest to możliwe, polegając wyłącznie na naturalnych siłach rozumu. Wskazywali na konieczność odwołania się do wiary, nie popadając jednak w fideizm. Było to metodyczne przedsięwzięcie, oparte na doświadczeniu, że naturalny rozum ludzki w swych poszukiwaniach nie jest w stanie samodzielnie dojść do pewnych prawd i czasami może się mylić. Wówczas wiara staje się przewodnikiem i dostarcza bardziej akceptowalnych rozwiązań. To odwaga jednego z największych filozofów – Platona, który powiedział, że trzeba mieć „wielką odwagę”, aby podjąć się takich poszukiwań i przyjąć wiedzę tylko prawdopodobną, gdy wiedza pewna jest nieosiągalna.

This issue was discussed with regard to chosen commentaries to Aristotle’s treatise De anima, formed in the so-called via moderna mainstream, in particular those of John Buridan, Nicole Oresme and Laurentius of Lindores. In such a context, the Cracovian commentaries referring to Parisian nominalists were presented by those of Benedict Hesse and Anonymus. The analyses carried out above allow one to ascertain that although William of Ockham’s opinion questioning the possibility of knowledge of the soul in the field of philosophy, nominalists of the late Middle Ages did not resign from speculation on the beginning (birth) and the separation (death) from the body of the soul, also the fate of the soul after death. They focused on the nature of the matter – human body (embryo, semen) and his relation with the soul (forma) – in the moment of birth. In the aspect of death 14th century scholars undertook the struggle, which was one with the justification of the psycho-physical unity of the human being existing after death solely as an immortal soul. In both thems, they tried to find their solutions, while if they could not solve these aporeticals questions – they had the courage to admit, that is not possible by solely relying on the natural forces of reason. They had to refer to the teaching of christianity, without however falling prey to fideism. This was a methodical endeavour based on the experience that natural reason in searching for the truth is not capable of its own efforts to attain to certain concepts and might on occasion err, it is then that faith becomes its guide and supplies it with more acceptable solutions. This is the courage of one of the greatest philosophers – Plato, who said that you have to have this “great courage” to undertake only probable knowledge, when another is not possible.
