The main aim of this article is to discuss the obstacles that limits the activity of people in the elderly. The author analyzes the urban space, the home space, contrast the problems found in to the solutions offered by modern technology. The author also makes a diagnosis that the cessation of seniors' activity is not the result of aging, but the effect of preventing movement through external factors. Analyzing examples (literature, architectural manifestos, advertising), she states that the desire to move and overcome barriers is a natural need of every human being.

This paper discusses the duality of metaphorical conceptualizations of time focusing in particular on time as a pursuerand time as an object of pursuit metaphors, which are based the Figure–Ground reversal of each other. Using examples taken from the British National Corpus, it argues that these metaphorical conceptualizations of time are inconsistent with each other. This inconsistency resembles the discrepancy between the moving time and moving observer metaphors, which are, in strict terms, also inconsistent with each other. Looking at such contrasts between metaphorical representations of time from a broader perspective suggests that the concept of time arises from different, both physical and socio-cultural, dimensions of human experience.

The text is an attempt to look at the autopoietic processes occurring at the level of cognition and consciousness resulting from being in motion. Consequently, it is quite a personal, subjective narrative about the various crises in the private and professional fields related to my arrival in another continent, in a different landscape and cultural context, accompanied by the relocation of research area to buen vivir and coming into contact with an innovative methodology, which is transdiscipline, which has caused many epistemological, ethical and practical challenges. The main axis of this deliberation is the constant necessity of self-determination of the cognitive subject: outlining one's own perspective and defining its position in relation to the surrounding reality.

Because object and self-motion are ubiquitous in natural viewing conditions, understanding how the human visual system achieves a relatively clear perception for moving objects is a fundamental problem in visual perception. Several studies have shown that the visible persistence of a briefly presented stationary stimulus is approximately 120 ms under normal viewing conditions. Based on this duration of visible persistence, we would expect moving objects to appear highly blurred. However, in human vision, objects in motion typically appear relatively sharp and clear. We suggest that clarity of form in dynamic viewing is achieved by a synergy between masking, perceptual grouping, and motion computation across retinotopic and non-retinotopic representations. We also argue that dissociations observed in masking are essential to create and maintain this synergy.

In the article different approaches to such notions as «health» and «motion» in the biological concept of physical training in European Secondary Education have been defined. The objectives of education in the sphere of physical culture have been considered and also emphasized an importance of individual approach to formulation of these objectives for each person separately. The impact of the lack of motor activity on a person’s health has been revealed and it has been emphasized that for a modern person, who led a sedentary lifestyle in most cases and as a result of it suffered from overweight and excessive emotional arousal, motion is indisputable biological need, both preventive and therapeutic. The peculiarities of practical realization of physical education biological concept in European secondary education have been outlined. Curricula for physical education have been analyzed. It has been established that the majority of objectives are connected with biological dimension. The methods of establishment of physical form level have been systemized. L. Denysiuk, J. Medliarski and R. Tzesniovski are considered to have made a great contribution in this sphere. In order to recognize the level of physical development of the pupils, and especially motor skills various methods and tests (for example, a series of tests by L. Denisyuk) have been developed. To provide information on physical development and fitness of the population massive research and comparison with the norm (measure the physical fitness of J. Medliarski recognized at a global level and its update in the works of R. Tzesniovski) are made. In addition, the conduct systematic studies that demonstrate progress in several dimensions: biological, psychological, social, allowing to trace the relationship between different indicators. The opinions of the critics about this matter have been analyzed. It has been found that the main disadvantage attributed to this theoretical approach was its ignoring of educational and socialization potential of physical exercises and physical activity in general. It has been pointed out that the main notions of biological concept such as «motion» and «health» were also crucial in other theoretical approaches to physical education organization in Europe, though their understanding and approaches to practical realization in physical culture were different.

Space, time and motion are crucial concepts in human thinking. They tend to be expressed differently in different languages and this can present difficulties for language learners. This paper summarises the basic linguistic means of expressing time, space and motion in contemporary Czech and attempts to systematise the existing linguistic research related to these topics. The analysis focuses on deictic, lexical (e.g. verbs of motion) and phrasal units and on selected grammatical categories (especially time, aspect and case) and points out specific features of a “Czech” understanding of the concepts as revealed by the given linguistic expressions. In Czech utterances, the concepts are usually interconnected, with several means connected with the concepts often appearing simultaneously. The “Czech” conceptualisation of space, time and motion is complex, but it is nevertheless organised in various ways (for example, along selected oppositions, metaphors or image schemas, using a specific categorisation of motion in verbs of motion). Furthermore, space and motion often function as a source domain for metaphors of more abstract concepts. It is suggested that this overview could provide some background for research into the use of Czech as a non-native language.

Epicurean physics elaborates on a system of universal kinetics as regards the crea-tion of the world. One of the main principles is that there is no genesis without motion. The human being, as all other beings, is the product of the motion of atoms within the cosmic void. Due to a sudden swerve in the motion of some atoms, it can be upheld, according to the Epicureans and Lucretius, that there is no determinism in the universe and the human being is capable of free will. The atomic motions and the swerves also take place in the space of the human soul. Lucretius, in the De Rerum Natura, follows with precision the content of the Epicurean dogmas, and divides the soul into an irra-tional part, which he calls anima, and a rational one, animus, according to the distinc-tion between ψυχή and διάνοια.

This paper explores how Aristotle rejects some Eleatic tenets in general and some of Zeno’s views in particular that apparently threaten the Aristotelian “science of nature.” According to Zeno, it is impossible for a thing to traverse what is infinite or to come in contact with infinite things in a finite time. Aristotle takes the Zenonian view to be wrong by resorting to his distinction between potentiality and actuality and to his theory of mathematical proportions as applied to the motive power and the moved object (Ph. VII.5). He states that some minimal parts of certain magnitudes (i.e., continuous quantities) are perceived, but only in potentiality, not in actuality. This being so, Zeno’s view that a single grain of millet makes no sound on falling, but a thousand grains make a sound must be rejected. If Zeno’s paradoxes were true, there would be no motion, but if there is no motion, there is no nature, and hence, there cannot be a science of nature. What Aristotle noted in the millet seed paradox, I hold, is that it apparently casts doubt on his theory of mathematical proportions, i.e., the theory of proportions that holds between the moving power and the object moved, and the extent of the change and the time taken. This approach explains why Aristotle establishes an analogy between the millet seed paradox, on the one hand, and the argument of the stone being worn away by the drop of water (Ph. 253b15–16) and the hauled ship, on the other.

After a very general exegetical introduction, we put forward a new arrangement and translation of the major testimonies on Zeno of Elea. The few passages that are generally regarded as fragmenta verbatim are also cited in the original. The source material is presented in a reconstructive order that is somewhat different from the previous editions of Zeno. Our aim is to capture the specific problematic context of the ancient authors who refer and question Zeno’s arguments, without isolating and break up theses texts. The particular passages have been provided with thematic headings.

One word "love" encompasses a wide amalgamation of feelings. Their common denominator is emotional activity, which can be directed at women, things, science, etc. Love is an action most often celebrated by the poets who usually embellish and improve it, or in other words falsify it. Krzysztof Ostasz in the article Love as motion. The phenomenon of attention in the analysis of love by Jose Ortega y Gasset proposes to look at the metaphors approximating the concept of love, which use scientific terminology (power, force, light), as well as directly or indirectly connect love with the concept of motion. The author bases his considerations primarily on On love: aspects of a single theme of Jose Ortega y Gasset, who, taking into account the peculiar dynamics of feelings, attempted to sort out the conceptual mess in this domain. In particular, despite the similarity of symptoms, he clearly distinguishes between love as an activity and essentially passive desire. Falling in love was defined as an abnormal, manic state of attention. Love, understood as an emotional movement towards an object that focuses our attention, narrows the field of consciousness and at the same time increases its intensity. The proposed concept of attention flux density is helpful in understanding this phenomenon. What we pay attention to best determines our character, so who we fall in love with exposes ourselves. This leads to the conclusion that no one falls in love without a reason, therefore love is not blind and resembles reasoning. According to the Spanish philosopher, it is wrong to associate love with beauty, as initiated by Plato. The definition of love referring to motion allows us to better understand the mechanism of falling in love and more clearly juxtaposes love against the background of other feelings it is often confused with. Ortega's analysis shows an explanatory potential of the concept of motion, which in itself is not as clear as it may seem.

The article focuses on the non-places – areas occurring in the real and virtual worlds. In the case of non-places itself the significance of the place disappears in the motion of travelers. Nowadays, the migration of people, objects and information has reached historical akme. It is related to the change of the paradigm. As long as the twentieth century manifested itself – in philosophy, literaturę, art – reflection on the question of time, the twenty-first century develops the idea of the space. The space in the postmodern sense, therefore liquidity, nomadity and rhisomadity.

Nel presente contributo si analizza il significato spaziale dei prefissi verbali pri- e doe il loro contributo nella lessicalizzazione degli eventi di moto. La nostra analisi si basa in primo luogo sulla descrizione lessicografica di questi prefissi, sulla definizione proposta nella Grammatica Accademica della lingua russa (Švedova et al., 1980) e sull’interpretazione data in differenti studi dedicati allo studio della semantica dei prefissi verbali nella lingua russa. In differenti contributi (Dobrušina et al., 2001; Dickey, 2010; Kagan, 2016; Padučeva, 2002, 2004) si osserva che il significato spaziale del prefisso pri- esprime il raggiungimento della meta, incluso il superamento del confine dell’entità di riferimento (boundary-crossing nella letteratura anglofona). Al contrario, la semantica spaziale del prefisso do- è descritta perlopiù in rapporto al progressivo raggiungimento di un limite lungo una scala spaziale (boundary-reaching). Nel corso dell’analisi contrastiva si individuano e descrivono alcune possibili corrispondenze italiane per i verbi di moto formati per mezzo dei prefissi pri- e do-. Si analizza inoltre quali componenti semantiche di un evento di moto codificate in un verbo prefissato russo sono espresse od omesse nelle corrispondenti costruzioni italiane. L’analisi contrastiva è condotta su alcuni esempi tratti dal corpus parallelo russo-italiano del Corpus Nazionale della Lingua Russa. Il contributo si compone di quattro parti. La prima parte introduce il lettore alla ricerca. Nella seconda parte è presentato il quadro concettuale di riferimento dello studio ed è descritta la semantica spaziale dei prefissi verbali russi pri- e do- secondo le fonti considerate. La terza parte è dedicata all’analisi contrastiva degli esempi tratti dal corpus parallelo. Seguono nell’ultima parte le nostre considerazioni sui risultati, seppur parziali e non esaustivi, dello studio.

In this paper, we analyse the spatial meaning of verbal prefixes pri- and do- and their semantic contribution to the lexicalisation of motion events. Our analysis is based primarily on the lexicographic description of these prefixes proposed in the Academic Grammar of the Russian Language (Švedova et al., 1980) and on the interpretation given to them in different works devoted to the study of the semantics of verbal prefixes in the Russian language. In different contributions, it is observed that the spatial meaning of the prefix pri- expresses the reaching of the goal of motion, including the crossing of its threshold (boundary-crossing). In contrast, the spatial semantics of the prefix do- is mostly described in relation to the progressive approaching to an endpoint along a spatial scale (boundary-reaching). In the course of the contrastive analysis, an attempt will be made to identify and describe possible Italian correspondences for Russian verbs of motion with prefixes pri- and do-. We also consider which semantic components of a motion event encoded in a Russian prefixed verb are expressed or omitted in the corresponding Italian constructions. The research has been conducted on the parallel Russian-Italian corpus, part of the National Corpus of the Russian Language (we consider just a few examples).

This paper proposes an interpretation of Books V and VI of Aristotle’s Physics as being (at least partly) a reaction to Zeno’s four “arguments against motion” that Aristotle expounds and discusses in Phys. VI 9. On the basis of a detailed textual analysis of that chapter, I show that Zeno’s arguments rest on a frame of a priori notions such as part and whole, in contact, between, limit, etc., which Aristotle takes over in order to account for the inner structure (here called “the In-Between”) common to all facts of motion and change. That frame allows him to develop a specific ontology for that inner structure – although it exists only potentially according to the Aristotelian orthodoxy – because he needs such an ontology in order to vindicate the reality of motion and change.

The paper presents the conceptualization of the functional changes that have shaped the development of the verse-form phenomenon and, as well, the poetic enjambment inseparably related to it. By dividing the forms of poetic discontinuity into kinetic and semantic enjambments, it shows the transition from earlier, more archaic forms of incompatibility of the syntactic and verse orders, related to the verse synaphy (over-verse continuity), to subsequent forms of poetic overflow with inherent, independent sign properties and artistic motivation founded on the semantization of the poetic movement called semantic enjambment.

Praca przedstawia konceptualizację zmian funkcjonalnych, jakie kształtowały się w rozwoju zjawiska formy wierszowej oraz nieodłącznie z nią związanej wierszowej przerzutni. Poprzez podział na przerzutnie kinetyczne i semantyczne pokazuje przechodzenie od form bardziej archaicznych, związanych z wierszową synafią w postaci niezgodności porządku składniowego i wierszowego, do form późniejszych, posiadających samodzielne właściwości znakowe i motywację artystyczną wynikającą z semantyzacji ruchu.

The central purpose of this article is to show the significance of Martin Heidegger’s basic notions, such as ‘care’ or ‘life’. According to Heidegger, these central terms are closely connected to the problem of death. By death I have in mind Heidegger’s notion of Sein zum Tode as developed in Being and Time. Heidegger claims that death is the final horizon whithin which to understand the meaning of being in the world. This article shows the ontological primacy of being towards death, but in the context of the idea of φύσις, because this work can be placed within the Greek tradition. Thus we approach the problem of the universe of which we are part. If man belongs to the universe, he belongs to being as well. Heidegger draws deeply from the broad stream of ancient philosophy. The idea of the universe encourages us to transform our inner being – Martin Heidegger understands this basic claim of ancient philosophers, and also takes from them the significance of achieving authenticity.

Handwriting is one of the most complex human activities, since it combines simultaneous work of various brain and motor centers, which develop during every single activity and a child’s relation with others. The level of reach­ing development of these centers and their functions reflects itself in all activities, mostly in the graphic one. Furthermore, emotions and psycho­physical processes are expressed in complicated and precise motion, so necessary in the process of handwriting. Hence, long states of psychical tension emerging from emotions and relations with other people may result in various degrees of muscle tension, including the lack of fluency in their work, which in consequence impacts the image of handwriting, often being one of the causes of dysgraphia.

Pismo jest jedną z najbardziej skomplikowanych czynności ludzkich, gdyż łączy działalność wielu ośrodków mózgowych i ruchowych, które rozwijają się podczas każdej działalności i podczas każdej relacji dziecka z drugą osobą. Sto­pień osiągnięcia dojrzałości tych ośrodków i ich funkcji odzwierciedla się w każdej działalności, przede wszystkim graficznej. Również emocje i procesy psychofizjo­logiczne znajdują wyraz w skomplikowanym i precyzyjnym ruchu potrzebnym do wykonania pisma. Z tego względu długie stany napięcia psychicznego, powstałe w wyniku emocji i relacji z innymi ludźmi, mogą powodować różne stopnie napię­cia mięśniowego, łącznie z brakiem płynności w pracy mięśni, co z kolei wpływa na obraz pisma i często bywa jednym z powodów dysgrafii.

Celem opracowania jest omówienie możliwości podjęcia z urzędu przez organ rentowy postępowania o przyznanie renty z tytułu niezdolności do pracy w wyniku złożenia wniosku o świadczenie rehabilitacyjne w oparciu o wpływ przepisów kodeksu postępowania administracyjnego. Problematyka powyższego zagadnienia zwykle sprowadzana jest do ukazania tezy odnośnie do braku zasadności podjęcia określonych czynności z urzędu przez organ rentowy, a już w szczególności odnośnie do czynności wszczynających postępowanie w sprawach o przyznanie konkretnych świadczeń społecznych, przy jednoczesnym, całkowitym pominięciu wpływu przepisów kodeksu postępowania administracyjnego na samo postępowanie organu rentowego. W artykule omówiony został przykład uzasadniający podjęcie postępowania z urzędu przez organ rentowy odnośnie do przyznania renty z tytułu niezdolności do pracy w wyniku złożenia wniosku o świadczenie rehabilitacyjne, z jednoczesnym dokonaniem aspektu porównawczego istoty powyższych świadczeń społecznych.

The goal of this report is to discuss the possibility by the Bureau of Benefits to undertake the proceeding on awarding disability benefits on the title of inability to undertake labor due to submitting of the rehabilitative benefits application based on the influence of the Code of Administrative Procedure (C.A.P.). Problematic aspects of the issue above usually are brought down to presenting the thesis concerning the lack of validity of undertaking determined actions ex officio by the bureau, in particular regarding actions initiating proceedings concerning awarding specific social benefits while simultaneously completely omitting the C.A.P. on the bureau’s proceedings.The article discussed a justifying example of undertaking a proceeding ex officio by the Bureau of Benefits regarding awarding benefits on the title of inability to undertake labor due to submitting of the rehabilitative benefits application while simultaneously comparing the essence of the above social benefits.

One of the main challenges for 17th-century natural philosophers was to find an answer to the question of what makes matter active at all? The legacy of 'prime matter' and its pure potentiality was still alive, and the adoption of corpuscular or atomistic theories did not change much here, the conviction about the total passivity of bodies was still dominant. Their actions demanded some explanation that would be the equivalent of an Aristotelian, non-material and active form. It seems that one of the philosophical traditions that were sought for such an explanation was the emanational metaphysics of Plotinus. In seventeenth-century systems it underwent various modifications, but its main idea, indicating the active role of certain 'principles' or 'spirits' responsible for initiating any changes in matter and managing them in accordance with the Creator's intention, remained the foundation of the theories of matter. An example of such solutions are the systems of Henry More and his good acquaintance from Cambridge, Isaac Newton. In the first case there is no doubt about the fundamental influence of Neoplatonism, but in the second case historians' opinions are divided. Newton reaches in search of 'active principles' for alchemical research, with the hope of finding these principles not only when referring to philosophical speculations, but also to experimental methods. This difference, however, does not change the fact that both philosophers try to discover the mode of action of 'active spirits', hesitating between placing in the particles of matter a number of separate principles and pointing to only one acting universally principle that was just an extension of God's arm – More calls it the Spirit of Nature (Vicarious Power of God), and Newton sees that principle ultimately in Christ (Viceroy of God).

Jednym z głównych wyzwań stojących przed filozofami przyrody XVII wieku było znalezienie odpowiedzi na pytanie, co sprawia, że materia w ogóle działa? Dziedzictwo ‘materii pierwszej’ i jej czystej potencjalności było wciąż żywe, a przyjęcie teorii korpuskularnej czy atomistycznej niewiele tu zmieniało, dominowało wciąż przekonanie o całkowitej bierności ciał. Ich działanie domagało się jakiegoś wyjaśnienia, które stanowiłoby odpowiednik arystotelesowskiej, niematerialnej i aktywnej, formy. Wydaje się, że jedną z tradycji filozoficznych, do których sięgano w poszukiwaniu takiego wyjaśnienia, była emanacyjna metafizyka Plotyna. W systemach XVII-wiecznych ulegała ona różnorodnym modyfikacjom, ale jej główna idea, wskazująca na aktywną rolę pewnych ‘zasad’, czy ‘duchów’ odpowiedzialnych za inicjowanie wszelkich zmian w materii i kierowanie nimi zgodnie z zamysłem Stwórcy, pozostawała fundamentem ówczesnych teorii działania materii. Przykładem takich rozwiązań są systemy Henry’ego More’a i jego dobrego znajomego z Cambridge, Izaaka Newtona. W pierwszym przypadku nie ma wątpliwości co do zasadniczego wpływu neoplatonizmu, w drugim jednak zdania historyków są podzielone. Newton sięga bowiem w poszukiwaniu ‘aktywnych zasad’ do badań alchemicznych, z nadzieją odnalezienia owych zasad nie tylko przy odwołaniu się do filozoficznych spekulacji, ale także do metod eksperymentalnych. Różnica ta jednak nie zmienia faktu, że obaj filozofowie starają się odkryć sposób działania ‘duchów aktywnych’, wahając się między umieszczeniem w cząstkach materii wielu odrębnych zasad a wskazaniem na zasadę jedną, działającą uniwersalnie i będącą niejako przedłużeniem Bożego ramienia – More nazywa ją Duchem Natury (Vicarious Power of God), a Newton upatruje jej ostatecznie w Chrystusie (Viceroy of God).

Both ancient and medieval world picture in philosophy reflected the world picture in natural sciences of the time. Consequently, our contemporary metaphysical world picture should correspond to that in modern science. In the article Albert Mitterer’s and Tadeusz Wojciechowski’s Concepts of the Interdependence of Matter and Motion there has been an outline presented of such picture, based on the ideas of the title scholars. In this article an attempt has been made to draw metaphysical consequences from their concepts of constitutional motion and particle act in reference to inanimate mattter, vegetative, sensitive and rational beings as well as The Prime Being.

Rzymskie fontanny Gianlorenzo Berniniego są znakomitym przykładem dzieł sztuki okresu pełnego baroku. Na podstawie ich hermeneutycznej analizy dowodzę, że woda zawiera w sobie cechy, które są kluczowe dla stylu barokowego. W artykule omawiam sylwetkę Gianlorenzo Berniniego, historię zaprojektowanych przez niego fontann, a także cechy, które pozwalają mi utożsamić wykorzystaną w dziele sztuki wodę z istotą baroku: zestawienie natury i kultury, ideę nieskończoności oraz ruch.

Gianlorenzo Bernini’s fountains in Rome are tremendous examples of late baroque works of art. In this article I am going to prove that water incorporates characteristics of the late baroque, on the basis of hermeneutic analysis. Firstly, the article presents Bernini as an artist. Further on, a brief story of his fountains is introduced, and finally the characteristics which enabled me to connect the idea of water with the essence of baroque, a juxtaposition of nature and culture, the idea of infinity and motion, are explored.
