Of Other Spaces, of Other Times – Towards New Materialist Politics of Squatting

In the article the author reflects on the meaning of politics in a new- materialist framework. She concentrates predominantly on two political di- mentions – space and time. With reference to that, the author develops the concept of politics of squatting. Its spatial aspect is investigated along the lines of the notion of heterotopia, coined by Michel Foucault, and its temporal as- pect is analyzed through the concept of heterochrony (Foucault) and Darwini- an evolution as interpreted by Elizabeth Grosz. The concept of politics of squatting is then juxtaposed with nomadism (vide Rosi Braidotti). Finally, the author provides a case study by elaborating on the anti-gender campaign that began in 2012-2013 in Poland from the perspective of politics of squatting.

The Human Dream of Power. The Portrait of Science as a Conceptual Heritage of the Modern Era

vol. 6

issue 1
EN
The article provides a compact review of the early modern science views of the nature of science, scientific method and knowledge, rationality and objec- tivity with respect to masculinity and femininity. Following primarily Galileo and Bacon's work, the author is interested in pointing out the most important ideas of the historically fixed ways of how people imagined the acquisition of knowledge, presented nature, understood the role of researchers, as well as what metaphors they applied in defining knowledge. Due to the vast and di- verse material, the aim is not to sketch a complete and detailed portrait of the ideal of modern science, but to explore to what extent gender-related issues were of any significance here.

Terminologia a współczesna rzeczywistość naukowa

The author reflects on a new interpretation framework in research on terminology. Referring to the philosophy of science and modern science studies, he distinguishes two types of doing science: traditional science and modern science. The centre of the linguistic cognitive space is located in traditional science. The naturalistic cognitive perspective determined also the shape of terminology studies. After philosophical ontology, the author adopts four ways in which a term can exist: in specifi c texts and in the system as well as in the individual and collective consciousness. This requires giving consideration to various perspectives (including the anti-naturalistic one) in terminological research and diverse cognitive methods, as well as a theoretical consolidation of the obtained results.

In the current debate, we witness a conflict between the Christian concept of man vs. concepts that justify in vitro fertilization (IVF), genetic enhancement, or the reassignment of sexuality. Modern concepts cannot disregard the historic perspective of the consistent doctrines that the Catholic Church has maintained throughout her 2000-year history and which constitute the precursors of contemporary bioethics. Although she has adjusted specifics occasionally to address new developments, she has always based doctrine on immutable core principles. The current conflict lies neither in the novelty of the new proposals, nor in a conflict between religious and lay worldviews, but rather in concepts of man and human perfection. Some human traits may be regarded as disordered and incompatible with a particular concept of human perfection. The new proposals tend to involve physical changes based on technological manipulation, with a goal of developing a superior being, while Christian proposals do not seek to manipulate man’s being, but to develop his existing potential within criteria of acceptable reason. The new proposals rely on a Cartesian view which constitutes a human as his mind (cogito ergo sum), which has dominion over his body including authority to reengineer it according to any project that mind conceives. In contrast, the Christian concept views the human subject as a unity of mind and body, which may not be reshaped to meet a questionable goal of human perfection. The technological tools within the new concepts are in no way superior to the more personal attributes like virtues, perfection of the human will, prayer, and ascesis within the Christian concept.

The article analyses the origin of the utilitarian vision of modern science. It interprets the differences between classical Greek vision of science and modern natural sciences and humanities. A thesis has been presented that modern separation of science from philosophy is connected with the dominant claim from scientists as for usefulness of their research. The knowledge itself is deprecated. This situation has huge inflence on modern understanding of academic educational purposes and the sense of the existence of universities.

Статья представляет позиции современной философии науки, в которых проблема познавательного статуса плодов современной науки составляет главную ось спора о научном реализме. Автор анализирует ключевые аргументы научных реалистов и научных антиреалистов. В заключении статьи автор формулирует тезис, что самый удачный ответ на вопрос о познавательном статусе плодов современной науки дает позиция, которая является синтезом метафизического реализма, эпистемологического антиреализма и семантического антиреализма.

The article discusses the positions in contemporary philosophy of science that recognize the problem of a cognitive status of modern science’s “products” as defining the core axis for an ongoing dispute over scientific realism. The author analyzes key arguments of scientific realists and antirealists. In the conclusion the author claims that as regards the cognitive status of scientific output in contemporary science, the most accurate answer has been provided by a position representing a synthesis of metaphysical realism, epistemological antirealism and semantical antirealism.

THE ESSENTIAL CONNECTION BETWEEN MODERN SCIENCE AND UTOPIAN SOCIALISM

The chief aim of this paper is to demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt how, through an essential misunderstanding of the nature of philosophy, and science, over the past several centuries, the prevailing Western tendency to reduce the whole of science to mathematical physics unwittingly generated utopian socialism as a political substitute for metaphysics. In short, being unable speculatively, philosophically, and metaphysically to justify this reduction, some Western intellectuals re-conceived the natures of philosophy, science, and metaphysics as increasingly enlightened, historical and political forms of the evolution of human consciousness toward creation of systematic science, a science of clear and distinct ideas. In the process they unwittingly wound up reducing contemporary philosophy and Western higher education largely into tools of utopian socialist political propaganda.
