Human rights are currently the subject of several complex questions that are political, social, or legal in its nature. In order to address these problems meaningfully, we must take also into account a more general philosophical context and we should have a clearer idea of what human rights are and on what foundations they are based. In the study, we discuss whether we currently have a fully philosophically based conception of the foundation and legitimization of human rights. We present various current approaches that are candidates for solving this problem and we offer their critical evaluation. The starting point for us is the idea of human rights as obvious truths and approaches derived from it based on rational or emotional evidence. We also deal with the possibility of establishment of human rights utilizing concept of natural law, utilitarian approaches, and conceptions based on the idea of dignity. Some other related theories and historical contexts of the analysed conceptions are also briefly mentioned. We wrap up the text with conclusion that a completely satisfactory philosophical theory of human rights is still not available, and we also put forward our recommendations for solving the presented problems of the investigated theories.

Pan-Africanism was a movement developed by the African people in the wake of their struggle for recognition of their humanity, dignity and equality with the rest of the world that had battered them. This movement had among other objectives the unification of Africa, a return to Africa by people of African descent living in the Diaspora and universal expression of black pride and achievement. It was also seen as the harbinger of liberation. The onus of this research work is to assess the success or not of this movement of the African by the African and for the African with a view to showing if appreciable success has been recorded especially as it affects the objective of ensuring a return of the Africans in Diaspora to the continent. This paper seeks to highlight areas where the African of today needs to address in order to bring to fruition the benefits expected of the Pan African Movement. It also seeks to establish in very clear terms that the African has a lot of work to do or else he will more than ever before be swallowed up by the West through an unbridled acceptance without scrutiny of the agents of globalization.

Dignity of employee behavior in the workplace and outside it is included in the labor required to care for the welfare of the employer (Article 100 § 2 point 4 of the Labour Code). This obligation is governed by the provisions of the Labour Code in a very general way. Seems to be necessary in this situation to make it concrete (detail). A worker taking care of the interests of the employer (his or her) must also proudly represent in the workplace as well as outside of it, for example, in your spare time. An important point of this article is to highlight and identify correlations behave properly from work and private time with the performance of the staff duty of care for the welfare of the employer (Article 100 § 2 point 4 of the Labour Code).

The third way concept managed to combine strong points of economic liberalism and socialistic doctrines. It was a result of fruitful joint efforts of CST and developers and predecessors of SME concept. And while the economic part of CST has a nature of universal normative doctrine, the SME concept is a concept of German economic system, brilliantly implemented in the economic policy of the government of this country in 1947 - 1967. Basic ideas of the SME concept are still forming the core of CDU (one of the most influential political powers in Germany) economic program, and in many ways outlining the building of the European Union. In general, the idea of the third way became one of the most significant achievements of socioeconomic thought of the 20th century.

The article presents a view surmising that the way of valuing oneself- the type of characteristics that are judged and the type of valuing criteria - changes during the life course. The recognised change depends on an increase in subjective significance of traits belonging to the moral and existential dimension of personality as well as an increase in importance of the personal and meta-personal perspective of self-perception and self-valuing. The role of the classically understood self-evaluation and self-acceptance relating to skill personality traits diminishes as a consequence of developmental tendencies, yet the importance of a sense of dignity and honour connected with moral characteristics as also the meaning of a general evaluation of one's life situation deemed as a sense of quality of life, increases. An individual's good external adaptation as well as relative and contextual thinking processes that develop with age aids these re-evaluation processes.

The study deals with the genealogy of the meaning of anthropology. We encounter it first in Aristotle’s negative definition of anthropology as a “narrative about man” with features of a gossip. Second time we encounter it in Kant’s dual definition of anthropology. From a pragmatic point of view he perceives it as a normative narrative about people from the position of a participant and from the perspective of the primacy of the “life-world”. The third instance is its secular status of a human as the “as yet undetermined animal” (Nietzsche), who is not “just” an animal but neither is he God. The fourth instance is the status of anthropology as a practical knowledge of oneself in relation to oneself (culture) in the synthesis of knowledge of human sciences (Scheler, Gehlen, Plessner). Finally, its current self-understanding is the result of the development of the human rights agenda after 1945 with regard to “the image of man” with “human dignity.”

Pasternak retained discretion in presenting the sexual life of his protagonists, and in particular its physiological details. This is not to say that he ignored this motif entirely. The early novel The Childhood of Zhenya Luwers portrayed the physical and psychological development of a twelve-year-old girl on the threshold of womanhood, together with her associated observations and experiences. In The Story the main character goes through two contradictory sexual episodes — with a vulgar prostitute and a woman of high personal culture. As a rule, however, the narrator describes reactions connected with sex, which serve the depiction of emotions and inner experiences, primarily of the female protagonists, while maintaining a certain distance and, at times, by resorting to allusions.

The article examines the place universal solidarity and ‘dignity for all’ principles have in common thinking about just society in situation of their long-term marginalisation in political discourse and discourse about living conditions of vulnerable groups in Slovakia. First it scrutinises sociological literature dealing with conditions for expanding and sustaining universal solidarity. Theoretical framework based on the ideas of Durkheim, Joas and Alexander about the role of cultivating emotions and cultural articulation of suffering in expansion of solidarity is used to identify the gaps in discursive resources that are necessary for advocating right to dignity for groups that tend to be morally excluded. Then it analyses the transcripts of 8 focus groups, the scenario of which replicates the EVS 2017 items testing universalistic solidarity as warranting basic living conditions for all and concern about living conditions of diverse social groups. The findings support the expectation that the missing discursive backing will threaten the advocacy of solidarity for vulnerable groups such as Roma and long-term unemployed. Advocates of universal solidarity were marginalised and universal solidarity rather pugnaciously refused for being in clash with meritocratic and reciprocity principles. A very existence of welfare system that supposedly privileges Roma to the detriment of underprivileged “white” majority was seen as distortion of principle of equality.

The French thinker Blaise Pascal was not only a gifted scientist, but also an author of many brilliant essays on man and God, which later inspired many philosophers and theologians. The aim of the article is to show the role the idea of human finitude played in Pascal’s thinking. It outlines Pascal’s specific understanding of the possibilities and limits of the essential human ability, namely thinking rationally, as well as the ontological-temporal aspect of human finitude – the problem of death and mortality. Further, it examines the central concepts of Pascal’s Pensées (among them thinking, dignity, diversion, boredom) and clarifies his conception of man as a thinking reed. Pascal’s essays are presented here as based on his creative reception of previous philosophical and religious thinking (stoicism, M. de Montaigne, St. Augustin, church fathers, R. Descartes and others), and also as an important inspiration for the authors of later centuries (e.g. dialectical thinking, philosophy of existence and existentialism etc.).

Honour, dignity or reputation can be affected by, among other things, statements made by leading politicians, spokespeople for state institutions or the content of press releases provided to the media when informing them about the exercise of public authority. Since the media, further disseminating this information, are not responsible for its veracity, it is necessary to reliably identify the entity responsible for such effects. Slovak judicial practice assesses actions in these cases under the provisions of the Civil Code on protection of personal rights and concludes that the entity responsible for the effect is not the state, but the state institution responsible for the statement of the natural person, because that person does not act directly on behalf of the state. However, these conclusions were drawn without careful consideration being given to the possibility of judging these claims under the Public Liability Act. When examining this problem, it is also necessary to address the theoretical starting point of the problem. In particular the nature of the liability of the state and state institutions, the requirements for there to arise liability for damages and nonmaterial damage outside the exercise of public authority, the nature and extent of liability for damage and non-material damage in the exercise of public authority, the interrelationships between the rules governing liability in both cases and also the concept of liability for others in the conclusions of legal theory and practice.

Władza w szkole może być realizowana za pomocą dwojakiego rodzaju instrumentów: autorytetu albo zachowań represyjnych. Aby nauczyciel mógł wpływać na zachowania uczniów, musi cieszyć się u nich autorytetem albo stosować środki przymusu skłaniające uczniów do realizacji jego woli. Przymus często rodzi dążenie do wolności, buntu, oporu i niezgody, natomiast świadome posłuszeństwo wobec uznanych i akceptowanych autorytetów może stanowić drogę do rozwoju spójnej osobowości. Jeżeli założymy, że wolność ucznia stanowi nadrzędną wartość, to oczekiwanie posłuszeństwa (autorytetom) będzie zamachem na jego wolność. Nieskrępowane prawo do wolności i niezależności często rodzi wewnętrzny (i zewnętrzny) chaos. Neutralność światopoglądowa i ideologiczna szkoły nie musi oznaczać neutralności aksjologicznej. Ta ostatnia jest rezygnacją z narzucania określonych celów. Człowiek ponowoczesny przestaje wierzyć w istnienie obiektywnych zasad moralnych, a dzisiejszy uczeń traktuje konieczność posłuszeństwa jako ograniczanie jego wolności.

Power in school can be exercised by using two types of instruments: authority or repressive actions. In order for the teacher to influence students’ behaviour, he or she has to be recognized by the students as an authority or take coercive measures that will convince the students to act and behave accordingly to his or her will. Coercion sometimes leads to striving for freedom, to defiance, resistance and dissent while conscious obedience to recognized and accepted authorities may be a way to develop a coherent personality. If we assume that freedom of a student is a superior value, then the expectation of obedience (to authority) will be an attack on his or her freedom. An unlimited right to freedom and independence often creates an internal (and external) chaos. The ideological neutrality of the school does not necessarily imply axiological neutrality. The latter implies resignation from imposing a particular goal. A postmodern individual ceases to believe in the existence of objective moral principles, and today’s student regards the necessity of obedience as limiting his or her freedom.

Based on the Lettera del cardinale William Levada per la presentazione della circolare alle conferenze episcopali sulle linee Guida per i casi di abuso sessuale nei confronti di minori da parte di chierici of 3 May 2011, on behalf of ČBK, a Directive was prepared to discuss the cases of sexual abuse of minors by clergy, adapted to the specific situation in the Czech Bishops’ Conference. The Directive aims to ensure the prevention of these cases, to provide clear and fair rules for a preliminary investigation on the suspicion of committing a crime, and providing assistance to the victims. The Directive is the first attempt of this kind in this country and will undoubtedly in the future evolve with the experience gained from its use.
