Aim: To put the human condition and the condition of the humanities in the perspective of critical human life situations and critical situations in the history of humanity. Methods: An analysis of primary sources and media statements by politicians and clerics. Results: The mutilation of human dignity is a constant element in the history of humanity. Man is a perpetrator, but also a victim of this mutilation. The constancy of mutilation of human dignity has its systemic sanction. Thus, it becomes a problem that transcends subjective conditions, for man is (becomes) a product of the system. Conclusions: The humanities, however, are incapable of putting what is singular, hat has happened, into a universal perspective beyond the area of declarative narrative. It is necessary, therefore, to reinterpret the basic concepts of the humanities seen in the perspective of critical human situations and the history of humanity.

The main question that the article poses is whether today there is still a possibility of media debate, for example on religion or the Church; or perhaps the system of mass media is governed by the logic of what Niklas Luhmann calls the thematic career. Mass media discuss various topics, but probably do not help to search for solutions for intra- and intersystem conflicts. According to Luhmann, mass media, politics, science and religion are autopoietic systems; they develop by their own rules. They are sensitive to external conditions, but primarily refer to what they have developed within themselves. Drawing upon Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory and using the analysis of the old debate (around Galileo), still without participation of mass media, and the current debate from 2012 when Richard Dawkins met Cardinal George Pell, I ask a question about its current shape. This is presented against the backdrop of the problem of how much the so-called synodality of the Catholic Church helps a given religion influence other social systems (such as science) and generally – social life. Why is it so difficult to fulfil the conditions of debate in the context of the three systems: religion (based on the example of the Catholic religion), media (mainly the Internet) and science? Perhaps it is because we deal with extremely different social systems which are mostly concerned with their own internal development. Moreover, the situation of reflection on the phe- nomenon of religion and social systems always becomes complicated by a specific global situation, both in the Church (e.g. synodality), and outside it (e.g. pandemic, war, new social movements).

The article provides an analysis of the re-formation of the civic sphere and civil society in the postcommunist environment. Focusing on the widespread tendency to equate civil society with the organized public involvement through non-profit and non-governmental organizations, it points to tensions and conflicts that such equation brings about. It is inspired by an extensive research project, yet it also draws on two distinct theoretical perspectives in particular. Luhmann’s and Alexander’s conceptual schemes serve here to account for the relations between various components of the formation of civic identities after 1989: the specific historical situation and the modern concept of active citizenship, the organizational form of civic associations and symbolic representations of civil society, concrete relationships or organizational practices and the identity of the civic sector.

The main theme of the article is the thesis that man's engagement in the process of professional work is engaged in a number of antinomies. The problem of contemporary economics has been analyzed. It has been revealed that situation in which the majority of people excluded from social debate due to their lack of competences become a useful medium subjected to various and constant manipulation by mass media. This leads to the situation where actions undertaken in order to solve the problems stemming from participation in the contemporary work market do not provide satisfactory solutions. It has been stressed that a way to overcome the limiting factors, including, biological limitations, is through cooperation, requiring approval of a non-personal group objective, the realization of which requires taking into consideration many factors, characterized by the context of action. We do not dispose of the prognostic theory covering the entire functioning of man and satisfactory manners of dealing with the challenges people face. Perhaps the reason for such a state of affairs is inability of the society treated as a system to provide “self-explanation” and in this situation the way to solve man's problems is a constant process of examination of reality man creates and undertaking pragmatic attempts to solve the dilemma he faces.

Tematem opracowania jest problematyka obrazu człowieka w ekonomii. Celem jest zrozumienie tego terminu, a więc znalezienie jego możliwie pełnej definicji. W tym celu postawiono pytanie o funkcje jakie spełnia obraz człowieka w ekonomii i wyróżniono funkcje: deskryptywną, pozytywną i normatywną. Następnie podjęto próbę zdefiniowania obrazu człowieka jak też wskazania jego najważniejszych komponentów i cech charakterystycznych. Wykazano, od czego obraz człowieka zależy (nie tylko od zmian otoczenia, ale także od obrazu świata) oraz na co wpływa - faktyczne zachowania podmiotów gospodarczych (wynikające z ich zakorzenienia systemowego), jak też teorie ekonomiczne, poprzez wpływ na teorie zachowania.

The subject of the research paper concerns a image of a man in economics. The paper aims at understanding this concept and funding its complete definition. Therefore, a question concerning functions of a image of a man in economics has been put forward and descriptive, positive and normative functions have been distinguished. The attempt to define the image of homo oeconomicus has been also made along with indicating its major components and characteristic features. The paper points out the factors determining the image of a man (these are not only changes within the surrounding, but also the image of the world) and what these factors influence – actual behavioural patterns of entities (resulting from the system they are rooted in) as well as economic theories through their impact on theories of behavioural patterns.
