In this article I analyze the issue of many levels of reality that are studied by natural sciences. Particularly interesting is the level of mathematics and the question of the relationship between mathematics and the structure of the real world. The mathematical nature of the world has been considered since ancient times and is the subject of ongoing research for philosophers of science to this day. One of the viewpoints in this field is mathematical Platonism. In contemporary philosophy it is widely accepted that according to Plato mathematics is the domain of ideal beings (ideas) that are eternal and unalterable and exist independently from the subject’s beliefs and decisions. Two issues seem to be important here. The first issue concerns the question: was Plato really a proponent of present-day mathematical Platonism? The second one is of greater importance: how mathematics influences our understanding of the nature of the world on its many ontological levels? In the article I consider three issues: the Platonic theory of “two worlds”, the method of building a mathematical structure, and the ontology of mathematics.

Richard Hönigswald speaks against theories, which are based on ontological or metaphysical arguments, in his philosophical plan. Above all, his philosophy is the theory of cognition. In this context Hönigswald states that philosophy cannot determine the thing in itself. This lack is supposed to be made with the theory importances (Geltung) in the form of the self-excuse.

The current 50th issue of Philosophical Problems in Science (Zagadnienia Filozoﬁczne w Nauce) summarizes the eﬀorts of both philosophers and scientists to understand how a broader philosophical context sets the stage for the development of scientiﬁc research, with physics playing a leading role. In particular, the paper reviews the content of the last twenty-ﬁve issues of the journal with an emphasis on the philosophical problems that arise in the practice of physics. The overview reveals that these problems reﬂect the main conceptual division in physics between the treatment of the micro-world described by quantum mechanics and the macro-world governed by the general theory of relativity. Both of these theories, taken separately, generate a host of philosophical concerns such as their proper interpretation (Bell’s Theorem and its consequences) or the meaning and the eventual validity of the notions of space and time. Other philosophical problems in physics, such as chaos and determinism, are also considered. The authors are well aware that the formulation of the future theory of quantum gravity will be a demanding task requiring profound philosophical reﬂection.

This paper is a discussion of the theoretical conceptualization of past landscapes and the limitations of archaeology in providing objectivistic interpretations. Analyzing a case study of the Dewil Valley landscape I will argue that the sciences about the past emerged based on the “Western” research paradigm. Therefore, local ontologies are often overlooked in archaeological narratives. In this article, I will present the ontologies of the indigenous Tagbanua people, contemporary beliefs related to the landscape, and theoretical approaches presented by researchers. I will argue that ontology can be complex and ambivalent, and that archaeological sources do not always indicate these dynamics.

The guiding question of this paper encourages the search for aspects of the Richard Hönigswald’s theory of objectivity that would allow it to be seen as a kind of ontology. Those can easily be found if the theory is interpreted as a positive theory of reality. However, considering the psychology of thinking in Hönigswald’s theory of objectivity raises important doubts barring the definitive answer to that question. Hönigswald stops short of giving an ontological description of the formal structure of human subjectivity, instead reducing it to the statement: “I do think something”.

The article discusses the problem of knowledge representation language selection for domain ontologies. In the article the use of ontology as a tool of knowledge representation was presented and the analysis of logical formalisms such as frames, logic programs, description logic, first-order logic and common logic was carried out. Then a number of classic and markup based knowledge representation languages were analysed: Ontolingua, LOOM, OCML, FLogic, SHOE, RDF(S), OWL, OWL2. Based on the analysis of literature relationships and dependencies between versions and profiles of the OWL language were systematised. The article ends with the conclusion, according to which OWL 2 DL language is the most expressive language of retaining decidability, and therefore it is characterized by the highest applicability in the construction of domain ontologies allowing inference.

In this follow up paper, the ribovirocell concept from the first part of the study is linked to the ontological realm of human reality before, during and in the aftermath of COVID19. During this fluid space-time, human reality is multi-faceted and often very complicated. The authors present a division of the reality into fundamental reality and situational reality. Fundamental reality is based on the (physical) laws of nature such as the speed of light as a fundamental physical constant. This reality spans beyond the course of time as perceived by humans, which is beyond the duration of a single or multiple human lifespans and beyond the duration of the COIVD19 pandemic. Next to fundamental reality and overlapping with it, exists the situational reality, which humans experience directly themselves during their lifetime(s). Actions of humanity and of individual human beings contribute to the shaping of the situational reality. Examples of the situational reality can be e.g. experiencing atrocities that humanity has committed, humanity’s actions to prevent such atrocities in the future, as well as human progress in eliminating poverty/inequality in the world. At least, some aspects of human lives take place at the boundary between the fundamental and situational reality. The COVID19 pandemic is linked to the concepts and the boundary between the fundamental and situational reality that human’s experiences, such as speed of pandemic impact and shifting nature of reality. The ribovirocell state of one’s self is linked to the way to apply the speed as a threshold concept for resilience in the coronavirus space-time and the post-COVID19 world

L'autodeterminazione è una categoria fondamentale nella visione personalistica di K. Wojtyła. Essa è una relazione entro la volontà. Una relazione di cui si potrebbe dire: la volontà si rivela come proprietà della persona e la persona come realtà che, riguardo al suo dinamismo, è constituita propriamente della volontà. L'autodeterminazione non è un atto chiuso entro se stesso, preché essenziale è il momento della veritè e nella verità.

The purpose of the article was to try to answer the question, what truth and logic is discovered? The answer came by comparing the claims made by Des-cartes and the main representatives of the Lviv-Warsaw School. The author of the article contrasting the views of the French thinker with the views of Polish logicians, with Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz at the head, turns to the proposal of the latter. According to Ajdukiewicz, discovered by law logic, as well as the laws discovered by representatives of empirical sciences, there are some objective relations that take place on the side of reality. Knowing these important and universal properties and laws, man increas-ingly and better understands the world. The conclusion of the article is the the-sis that there is close correspondence between ontology and logic, as expressed by the first principles of the law of being, which are also the first principles of the laws of thought. Responding to the question of the role of logic in the pro-cess of learning the truth, the author confesses to those authors who argue that logic is a science that works on the material provided by the ontology, looking for relationships between objects of the real world.

This paper argues that Emmanuel Levinas’ critique of the “ontological imperialism” does not amount to a perfunctory and rejective attitude towards ontology. Against the commonly held interpretation of Levinas, I argue that if we keep in mind that the understanding of the other is grounded on and determined by ethical recognition of the person, ontological recognition of the other person does not necessarily entail violent relation towards of the other person. Moreover, ethical recognition provides a standard of evaluation for ontological recognition and traditional theological discourse. The distinction between the two forms of recognition is essential to Levinas’ account of “religious life”. The two forms of recognition are nevertheless interconnected, if not reducible to one another. It is only when we lose sight of the fundamental ethical perspective that the ontological recognition is in danger of becoming violent and repressive.

Fine Individuation says it is impossible for distinct people who are not collaborating on a work of art to produce one and same artwork. This is an intra-world thesis, but is necessarily true, if true at all. Author Essentialism says it is impossible for someone else to produce one and the same work of art produced by some actual artist. This is an alleged necessary truth regarding cross-world relations. Both theses have been vigorously defended. I argue here that both are false, but for reasons that are entirely novel.

The paper concerns the question of establishing such a time ontology that would enable to depict in a precise manner changes in discontinuous, turbulent environment of enterprises. It is necessary if one wants to build a temporal analytical model of this environment, capable of indicating the most important changes, their reasons, directions and effects, as well as their influence on enterprise’s operations. It is indispensable to take into account the features of the environment being analyzed, and to properly adjust the ontology of time. In the paper an ontology of time is proposed, that is well suited to depicting and analyzing the turbulent economic environment of an enterprise. The main aim of the paper is to analyze the specific features of economic realm, which determine the time structure, and to present a proposal of time ontology suited for economic analyses.

This article analyzes the model of representation of knowledge in the form of ontology to describe a subject. Three types of the objects have been considered – domain-oriented, task-oriented and top-level. The necessity of building a common ontology which contains just the following three types of ontologies has been substantiated. A model of knowledge representation is defined as the set of syntactic and semantic consistency, which makes it possible to describe the object. For modeling a semantic model of ontology we turned to simulation. In the process of creating semantic networks in the package MATLAB we used the library SNToolbox with consistent implementation of the following steps: construction of a semantic network, visualization, and search the semantic network. In solving the problems of forecasting the curriculum, the following knowledge is highlighted – the terms of the subject domain, the relationships between the terms, property of the terms, synonyms, ways of representing and ways of expressing terms. Using the three-component model "Concept", "Action", "Property", we have constructed a semantic network of the semantic ontology of the module course “Fuzzy sets” of the subject "Intelligent Technologies of Decision-Making Management". The formal approach to the model of the ontology of the content module described above allows structuring and generalizing the knowledge of the branch of artificial intelligence technologies which is represented by the fuzzy sets theory.

Ten artykuł analizuje model reprezentacji wiedzy w postaci ontologii do opisu przedmiotu. Trzy typy obiektów są rozpatrywane: zorientowanych dziedzinowo, zadaniowo i najwyższego poziomu. Konieczność budowania wspólnej ontologii, która zawiera właśnie wymienione trzy typy ontologii została potwierdzona. Model reprezentacji wiedzy jest zdefiniowany jako zbiór składniowej i semantycznej konsystencji, co umożliwia opisanie obiektu. Do modelowania semantycznego modelu ontologii wykorzystana została symulacja. W procesie tworzenia sieci semantycznych w pakiecie MATLAB wykorzystaliśmy bibliotekę SNToolbox z konsekwentną realizacją następujących etapów: budowy sieci semantycznej, wizualizacji i wyszukiwania w sieci semantycznej. W rozwiązywaniu problemów związanych z prognozowaniem programu, pokreślana jest następująca wiedza - warunki tematycznej domeny, relacje między warunkami, nieruchomości z warunkami, synonimy, sposoby reprezentowania i sposoby wyrażania warunków. Wykorzystując trój-komponentowy model "Concept", "Action", "Property", skonstruowaliśmy semantyczną sieć semantycznej ontologii modelu kursu “zbirów rozmytych” przedmiotu "Inteligentne technologie zarządzania podejmowaniem decyzji". Formalne podejście do modelu ontologii opisu zawartości modelu pozwala konstruować i uogólniać wiedzę o branży technologii sztucznej inteligencji, która jest reprezentowana przez teorię zbiorów rozmytych.

The so-called animal turn in literature has fostered the evolution of animal studies, a discipline aimed at interrogating the ontological, ethical, and metaphysical implications of animal depictions. Animal studies deals with representation and agency in literature, and its insights have fundamental implications for understanding the conception and progression of human-animal interactions. Considering questions raised by animal studies in the context of literary depictions of animals in science fiction, this article threads John Berger’s characterization of the present as a time of radical marginalization of animals in his essay “Why Look at Animals?” through two highly influential science fiction texts: H. G. Wells’s The Island of Doctor Moreau and Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. Applying Berger’s reasoning to these two novels raises issues of personhood, criteria for ontological demarcation, and the dynamics of power, providing an opportunity to clarify, modify, and refute a number of his finer claims. This process of refinement allows us to track conceptions of human-animal interactions through the literary landscape and explore their extrapolations into various speculative contexts, including the frontiers of science and post-apocalyptic worlds.

The article offers a systematic interpretation of the turn to embodiment in continental philosophy based on the distinction of two different lines of thought: the phenomenological and the ontological. The first of these, which involves the shift of the intensional structures of consciousness into embodied existence, is connected with a tendency to the spiritualisation of the body. The second line returns to the theme of bodily substance as the element of thinking which is endowed with its own causal activity: this line rejects any analogy between embodiment and transcendental subjectivity. In considering the first line, the article works with Husserlian motifs, including the adoption of an Aristotelian analogy of sense perception and the rational faculties, and it traces the development of these motifs up to the attempt at an erotic reduction in the work of J.-L. Marion. In considering the second line attention is given to the link between Deleuze’s conception of the body and Stoic ontology, and to Deleuze’s radicalisation of Spinoza’s conception of the structure of the body as a scheme that is co-extensive with the ideas of the human mind. The article also tackles the question of the connection between cogitative and bodily happening in Merleau-Ponty, in whose work we find elements of both the lines that we have described.

This review study analyses Martin Nitsche’s monograph devoted to Heidegger’s Contributions to philosophy (Beiträge zur Philosophie), primarily addressing the question of whether Nitsche succeeds in displaying the phenomenological character of the Contributions. It identifies a key step in Nitsche’s interpretation; that is, Heidegger’s shift from emphasising the specific entity of Dasein to emphasising the distinctive “phenomenological” or “relational field”, which is understood as an “ontological locality”. The study focuses on the question of whether it is possible, subsequent to this shift, to preserve the phenomenological character of (Heidegger’s) thought, and it arrives at a negative conclusion in this regard: Heidegger does not offer a phenomenological description - nay, he presents a conceptual, or perhaps even narrative, structure, in which he lays claim to the possibility of speaking from a principled position of (the experienced) “enowning”.

This article addresses the definition of cinema by focusing on the related ontological question of which basic category circumscribes cinematic works. According to Noël Carroll, the definition of cinema consists both of ontological conditions that treat the moving image as a type and of other conditions that treat it as a display. But following Carroll’s ontological conditions, the digital encoding of a moving image enigmatically ends up being both a type and a token. Solving such a puzzle by clarifying the relation between the cinematic type and the digital type leads us to define the moving image in general as a type that specifies a spatiotemporal distribution of pixels.
