Industrial society and powers which controlled that society are no more. Instead, there is a Seanet and an Empire, a new form of web power, which strives to control it by producing symbols, needs and identities. Through its agency - a rapidly weakening state - the Empire pushes the Seanet into the cage of post-privacy. In the post-private society the distinction between the private and public disappears which leads to the subordination of emotions to a new refined digital form of control. It is possible to escape from the overwhelming post-private control - through the nephemerides (new noninstitutional forms of net social life), desertion, and positive trolling. The text should be placed in the theoretical model that - out of lack of alternatives - might be called evolutionary net neomarxism.

In his paper, the author argues that human embryos are individuals and persons. He accepts the critique of the non-individuation argument of human zygote and refutes the possibility of understanding blastomeres as individuals. Finally, realism in the understanding of personal identity is accepted on the basis of an argument justifying substantial form as a principle of personal identity.

The ties between the Church, Christian tradition and the (post)modern society are being weakened, while globalization trends tend to prevail. Therefore it is necessary to show common values and goals. One of them is the problem of an individual's identity and the sense and aim of his existence. Christian antropology, deeply rooted in the Bible, reveals the imago Dei idea, whose vital consequence is natural law. It originates from the Revelation and determines fundamental and universal morality. It should not be looked upon as just a set of rules and norms, but also as one's ability to dei ne his identity in a given period and circumstances. Consequently, it should be an ultimate criterion of justice (truth) in the process of enacting positive law. Although human mind is able to recognize and accept natural law (which is proved by our ethical heritage), it should also be understood and interpreted in the light of the grace. Thus natural law (ius naturale) and human conscience (conscientia) are important 'meeting points' and areas of cooperation between the Church and today's society.

In the paper authoress analyse the determinants of subjective wellbeing (SWB) of individuals using the World Values data set. They find wellbeing linked to relative income, marital status, employment status, gender, age and education and also to the amount of time the individual spends with the family, friends and in church. Political factors are also important including the level of satisfaction with the country, the perceived state of human rights and institutional trust. The authoress analyse SWB separately for men and women, for the poor and rich and for poor and rich countries. They found substantial differences among individual categories. The factors which make men happy are not a mirror image of those, which do make women happy and happiness in rich countries is not a simple extrapolation of that in poor countries.

The article draws a program of studying upward social mobility that places individuals' perspective at its center. In individual-centered perspective socialist society can be viewed as a conglomerate of individual self-protective activities aming at the job acquisition in its institutions. The analysis of historic field therefore means the analysis of studying the individuals' life situations. These situations are to be studied as sets of circumstances, stemming from individuals' position in social structure, their biography as well as from broader historical setting. The task of upward social mobility analysis concentrating on individual is the study of the role of emotions and cultural behavior that accompanies the situation of transition (to the public sector, from unqualified to qualified jobs as well as into managerial positions).

The article’s focus is on the analogies and differences between the approaches to individuation in contemporary analytical philosophy and in Duns Scotus. Attention is paid especially to the comparison of the theory of naked substrates with Scotus’ conceiving the individual difference (haecceitas). It is argued, that if the naked substrate is conceived as an individuator, it is functionally similar to haecceity in Scotus’ ontology. If conceived as an individual, however, a fundamental difference comes to the fore: Haecceity is not an individual, but an individuation principle, which is, contrary to the theory of naked substrates, added to common essence and different from it. The naked substrate is – again contrary to Scotus’ conceiving of haecceity – void of the formal (essential) content. Furthermore, haecceity in itself is de jure accessible to cognition, but de facto (prostate isto) it is not the object of cognition.

The contribution is a result of author’s interest in the legacy of Russian Narodism and, within its framework, the works of Petr Lavrovich Lavrov (1823 – 1900). The contribution analyses that part of Lavrov’s extensive work which could be labelled as philosophy of history. The selected part of Lavrov’s works are a result of his long-term interest and effort to interconnect philosophical reflections with the real needs of political practice in the Russian context of the second half of the 19th century. Lavrov´s views can be seen as a critical reflection of values created by the Byzantine and Slavic spirituality. Faith is not accepted as faith in God. It is regarded as a strong belief which can lead to political action and social change. It is a belief in goals created by man. This represents the fundament for the creation of a better world. In that respect, one can identify Lavrov’s distinctive reflections concerning the values and actions based on these values. Actions, based on certain values, and the process of realisation of shared or accepted value frameworks, represent, in Lavrov’s understanding, the basis, or the starting point for a definition of man and (as an) individual, as an acting individual.

The paper presents Suárez’s view on the individuation of beings, which he developed in his Disputatio V, De unitate individuali eiusque principio. The aim, apart from simply presenting Doctor Eximius’s thought, is also to compare his views with his scholastic predecessors. When considering the question of individuation, Suárez remained under a considerable influence of the medieval tradition, which, however, he transformed in his writings according to his own convictions. He used the language of Duns Scotus when speaking of individuation and determining it in terms of indivisibility, but rejected the idea of individuation by matter, classically attributed to the Thomistic School. Postulating the individuation principle, identified with the entity, and not with the act of existence nor the being of haecceitas, Suárez departed from non-classical interpretations of the thought of Thomas Aquinas as well as from the Scotistic solutions, and postulated a view that to some extent resembled that of Ockham and Bonaventure, although Suárez does not explicitly refer to the latter.

Stephen Schiffer's paradox of meaning shows that both Fregean and Russellian explanations of the individuals in thoughts-propositions are questionable. The author argues that it is Pavel Tichý's semantical system, which offers a viable middle way between the extremes of the above mentioned approaches, solving the Schiffer's paradox.

The paper provides an analysis of the main features of personality in the work of N. A. Berdyaev, who belongs to the most prominent authors of the personalistic line of Slavic philosophy. It is primarily concerned with Berdyaev’s principal book Slavery and Freedom (1939), which elaborates this theme most thoroughly. Berdyaev’s concept of personality is here interpreted in correlation with other central concepts of his work, above all with freedom and spirit – both are exposed as the inherent attributes of personality. While Berdyaev’s metaphysics is based on duality of spirit and nature, or freedom and necessity, the paper points to his concept of person(ality) as based on triple structure: spirit, soul and body. The paper also examines Berdyaev’s fundamental conceptual distinctions between personality and individual and outlines the differences in standpoints of personalism and individualism, while the latter is shown as opposed to the former.

Security risks of today, terrorism, these are the factors that lead to breaching the traditional legal guarantees of the individual and to change of perception of human rights. The author deals with the thesis that the state must guarantee human rights, but in the effective elimination of security threats is forced to violate them. Against the background of the historical development of human rights and in the context of the philosophical concepts of relationship of the state and individual, relationship of freedom and security by Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Immanuel Kant, the author seeks to clarify the function of human rights and the risk of breaching them. Guarantees of the freedom of individual are a response to impending dangers. Violation of human rights means loss of legitimacy of the state action. Security measures are often overreaction of state. We should not stop the effort to take the human as a purpose not means.

The turning point of XIX and XX centuries in the arts subjects was crucial. The emphasis on individual's theory increased. In his arts subjects theory, presented Wladyslaw Mieczyslaw Kozlowski human being as creative individual capable to lead the society in the specified direction. The proof for such a theory could have been life-time achievements of the individual, which are used by next generations. According to Gustaw Radbruch, the individual constitutes ability to achieve particular morality, which allows to devote to specified works and to creative self-fulfilment. The last one is culturally consolidated and includes the brothership of the human beings. Such ability of particular individuals leads to creation of over-particular bonds of the mentioned above individuals throughout common activities and will to achieve the common goal. The world's history judges particular nations throughout measure of their works, which constitute not only the goal of human aspirations themself, but also shows the gauge of their values.
