Ibn Khaldun is a Muslim thinker who lived in North Africa in the Middle Ages. The places where he lived were in a geography where tribal management systems were dominant and political turmoil and wars were never lacking. It is possible to see the traces of the geography and era in which Ibn Khaldun lived in the shaping of his political views. At that time, due to the fact that the tribes were constantly at war with each other, the administrations changed hands frequently, some states were destroyed and some new ones were established in their place. These observations led Ibn Khaldun to liken the life of states to human life. According to him, every state is born, develops and dies just like people. The destruction of states is an inevitable end. Ibn Khaldun has been criticized by some thinkers because of these views. In fact, his book Mukaddime was banned in the Ottoman Empire for a while on the grounds that it led the people to pessimism. This study was created by examining the original works of Ibn Khaldun with the exploratory method and interpreting his views.

French philosopher Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) is best known as the co-founder of modern hermeneutics. Under this framework, he developed a practical philosophy (theory of action). Its applications can be found in his attitude to public and civic issues (e.g. expressed in skepticism to the course of events in May 1968 or protests against the worsening social inequalities), where there was always a religious theme, resulting from a strong Christian faith rooted in the Protestant profile. Ricoeur differentiated politics as classically understood politics as a space for joint action within a framework of policies rather than more contemporary views, where it is associated with gaining and securing power. He pointed to the need for dialogue and negotiations between the government and the social partners, trade unions and political adversaries. Political activity becomes similar to practical wisdom.

The term “Fourth Estate” is becoming more and more common and acquires various connotations. It seems that processes of mediatisation of politics and tabloidisation of the media greatly contribute to phenomenon. Numerous examples of that sort are provided by the permanent election campaigns in Poland, mutual relationship between different types of media and political public relations, as well as the relationship between the media and the ruling coalition.

Recent worldwide convergence of telecommunication and information technologies and dynamic development of mass media lead to noticeable changes in functioning of contemporary countries and societies. Currently, modern information and telecommunication technologies (ICT) begin to play greater role and filter down to almost every field of contemporary human life becoming a very popular subject of researches. Information revolution, that is a rapid technological development, within the scope of computers, communication processes and so" ware (involving substantial decrease in the costs of processing and sharing information), is the driving force behind globalisation. As a result, many social spheres of men remain greatly influenced by modern technologies. Easy access to information (being a consequence of development of the Internet, television and mobile communications) affects millions of people in the world, and also changes rules of social life in a broader perspective. Increasingly greater social impact of telecommunication and information technologies and growing political importance of the Internet (as a form of ICT) seem to be vital arguments that substantiate the usefulness of this study. The aim was to answer question about influence of the Internet on political life, and thus its application into contemporary democracies. Answers to the above questions should be backed up with data concerning the usage of ICT (mostly the Internet) in various political processes. The further analysis include three phenomena: informing, communicating and voting.

This article deals with the presentation of migration as a theme on the most visited Slovak media website aktuality.sk during the first half of 2021. Through qualitative and quantitative content analysis of texts and photographs, it determines the frequency of information, names the topics and analyzes the content that the medium presented from January 2021 to the end of June 2021. Because of the smaller volume of news and politicians addressing the topic, it may seem that migration has disappeared. However, the number of valid stays of thirdcountry nationals in Slovakia in June 2021 was not way below average since 2015 when the so-called migration crisis began. This article summarizes the migration discourses that have been promulgated in Slovakia since 2015. At the same time, the analysis focuses on covering the topic of migration at present, we determine how much space the selected medium devoted to migration and what topics it reported on. In terms of identified discourses, in the analysis of 2021, we noted the persistence of cultural threat discourse, security risk discourse and more discourse of effective solidarity. It turns out that the overall setting of the media sentiment of the migration discourse in the Slovak Republic is relatively stable in the long run, inclined to the negative connotation of the terms migrant, refugee and the migration process itself, with a significantly weak representation of positive sentiment.

The Article concerns the ethical dilemmas faced by political journalists. This prob-lem has been discussed in the context of the complaints which have been considered by the Council of Ethics of the Media, the decisions of the Commission of Ethics in TVP, as well as on the example of several case studies, in which some abuses of journalistic ethics are stated. The method of analysis was a content analysis. With the presented analysis of complaints and matters relating to political jour-nalists, it appears that journalists violate ethical standards: manipulate facts and images, use rumours and unverified information, affecting the personal rights and the privacy of non-executive public, do not respect the principles of objectivity and impartiality. There are, however, situations when journalists have suffered punish-ment in the form of dismissal, even though they acted in accordance with ethical principles. In conclusion, the dilemmas of political journalists can be divided into: (1) profes-sional (2) relational, (3) newsrooms, and (4) dilemmas of conscience.

The main aim of this paper is an analysis of the region in general form and to look at innova- tion and knowledge in the European Union’s economic growth and social security strategy. The research objectives here encompass the presentation of the innovation system and knowledge in promoting entrepreneurship, the theoretical concept of the innovation system and process at the level of the region, the knowledge-based economy, constructed advantage, the constructed advantage provided by the Triple Helix model, Europe 2020 strategy, Innovation Union and Horizon 2020 as the financial instruments implemented by the Innovation Union. An important result of the research is the conclusion that in the innovation process the connections between science (universities), market (industry) and government are very important. There is a positive dependence between innovation activities and the effectiveness of the innovation process. More interaction and cooperation can be observed on the regional than on the state level. The new programmes of scientific and innovation research, Europe 2020 and the Innovation Union, are very important factors in the strategy of the European Union’s economic growth and social security.

In the mainstream of contemporary discussion about relation between democracy and philosophy binds the principle, that the duty of proof of own position concerns only the philosophers (that the democrats have some privilege in this field). I think, that the principle hasn't got strong rational ground. Its importance stems rather from strength of the anti-philosophical, democratic Zeitgeist. Ideological diversity is in a democracy less spontaneous and thereby more frail, than in the other systems of government. A democracy has a considerable inclination to discrimination different - than democratic - ideas, opinions and experiences. Hence it needs a philosophy as an antidote for this inclination. The position, that philosophical reason in essentially inadequate to politics, often ignores vital difference between classical and rationalistic theory of knowledge. Besides the position disregards the fact, that the nominalist conversion in the intellectual tradition of West seems not final sentence of history.

Politics can fulfill its mission only if it's work of building and improving the new world will be based on the strong foundations, which guarantee proper understanding of the good. It is a about human good, especially the common good. This common good deter¬mines the final justification of improving or building the world. These presented reflections focus on an issue of whether and how can this improvement of the temporal reality, be revived by the spirit of the Gospel? Good is the integral part of politics. Politics, according to its ethical approach, can be defined as a prudent concern for the common good. However, a Christian involved in politics should have an awa¬reness that the common good, a basic category of politics, is not confined to the temporal reality. It is as well transcendental, spi¬ritual and supernatural. It finds it's ultimate explanation in personal human good. The good of a human being is expressed by the quality of relationship between man and Creator, as well as in his vocation to the eternal happiness, and in his communion with the Triune God. Prudent concern for this good determines the most important sense of the politics conducted in a Christian spirit. It makes that involvement in the political sphere becomes a selfless service to the human being and society. In this perspective, as a matter of priority must be considered a necessity to properly discern the themes of Christian presence in politics. The criteria for political involvement of Christians are also important in this matter. The discernment of these criteria largely depends on the political sense, which as such, is shared by all people. These are the basic ideas presented in this article. Their objective is to identify the qualified nature as well as the necessity of politics conducted in a Christian way.

Aliens and Monsters: Aristotle’s Hypothetical “Defense” of Natural Slavery

This paper examines Aristotle’s discussion of slavery, showing his description of actual slavery to be an indictment and those regarding natural slavery to be a hypothetical investigation of a separate kind. Aristotle not only precludes the inclusion of natural slaves and freepersons in a single natural kind, but also articulates such bizarre requirements for natural slaves that they ultimately cannot exist. While this reading avoids notorious difficulties associated with Aristotle’s discussion of slaves, it replaces them with impossible preconditions for just slavery—so much that one must consider the possibility that Aristotle did not believe there was such a thing as “just” slavery. Was Aristotle’s otherwise acute mind blinded by the prejudices of his time? Or is this the inevitable result of “defending” the indefensible: an ad absurdum that has been ironically misunderstood and anachronistically misapplied to modern race and racism?

During the last two centuries factors directing migration were purely economic or combined by different political reasons such as prosecution or political pressure based on religion or any other. The immigration policy in the United States always reacted to the changing situation earlier or later but restrictions were discriminative in any times and influenced emigration from those territories were restricted generally. The most egalitarian juridical viewpoint and regulation appeared only by Immigration Act of 1990 creating a new era in both migration policy and in the relation between the US and the rest of the world. Such racist aspects as the disclosure of Eastern Europeans changed to a more liberal consideration of popular diversity which can led to emerge the US society both economically and demographically to an unexpected level in the future. And despite since the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 broadly disclosed Eastern European from immigration and despite patterns in emigration from Easter Europe changed generally in the last couple of years34 America as a target country remained in their minds when thinking about emigration.

Artykuł porusza kwestie stosunków między państwami koreańskimi po ostatnim szczycie przywódców. Ewolucję relacji międzykoreańskich można podzielić na okresy, które odzwierciedlają charakter i specyfikę współpracy i rywalizacji między Koreą Północną i Południową. Stosunki międzykoreańskie obejmują zagadnienia, współpracy gospodarczej i kulturalnej oraz dialogu zjednoczeniowego. Warto zauważyć, że wszystkie wymienione obszary wzajemnie się zazębiają. Od „polityki słonecznego zaangażowania” (słoneczna polityka) zainicjowanej przez prezydenta Kim Dae-jung, uznano, że jedną z głównych przeszkód na drodze do zjednoczenia Korei stanowi przepaść w rozwoju gospodarczym między Północą a Południem, dlatego zwiększona współpraca gospodarcza miała być głównym poziomem relacji międzykoreańskich. Mimo niepowodzenia niektórych wspólnych projektów gospodarczych, zainicjowana współpraca, może wzmocnić wzajemne zaufanie oraz „rozszczelnić system polityczny” KRL-D co w konsekwencji umożliwi stopniowe wprowadzanie reform. Należy podkreślić, iż Republika Korei stała się drugim co do wielkości partnerem handlowym KRL-D po Chinach.

This Article concerns relations between the Korean states after the second inter-Korean summit. The evolution of inter-Korean relations can be divided into periods that mirror the nature and specific character of cooperation and rivalry of the two Koreas. Inter-korean dialogue cover the issues of a unification dialogue and an economic and cultural cooperation; it is worth noting that all the mentioned areas of cooperation overlap. Ever since the Sunshine Policy initiated by President Kim Dae-jung, it has become apparent that one of the main obstacles to the unification of the Koreas is the economic gap; therefore, increased economic cooperation was to be sought. Despite the failure of some economic projects, owing to the economic initiatives and increased cooperation, the Korean states have strengthened mutual trust. The Republic of Korea has become the second largest DPRK’s trading partner after China.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: On the one hand, contemporary politics is so overwhelmed by imagination that there is a risk for politics to be dissolved into mere creative communication. On the other hand, in an age when politics is reduced to simple administration, there is little room for imagination and the new possibilities it brings. By illuminating the ambiguous nature of the imaginative act I would like to show how a Christian vision of politics may help to understand both sides of this paradox. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: There are two radically distinct ways to carry out imagination depending on the subject’s fundamental attitude. Thus I will elaborate through a phenomenological analysis how this difference is present in all dimension of political imagination concerning the following essential criteria: a) the focus on the intentional object, b) methodology, c) temporal structure. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: If the act of fantasy is really that negative in all these aspects why do philosophers prefer it to the act of imagination? I argue that historically speaking the pivotal point is the Kantian philosophy and it is the Kantian heritage that influenced Feuerbach to lay the new fundaments of political fantasy. RESEARCH RESULTS: Through interpreting a crucial passage of Feuerbach’s The Essence of Christianity I show that the way Kant and Feuerbach transformed the concept of a receptive and obedient imagination focused on the Christian mystery are fatal for political philosophy. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: I insist that contemporary Christian politics is once again on a cross‑road, either it remains captivated by fantasy or it gets liberated by becoming true imagination. Imagination is centered on the mystery that illuminates the whole sphere of politics in all of its horizontal and vertical dimensions and thus allows for a radically new beginning of political reflection.

The article discusses the position of Józef Tischner to State - Church relations. It points out that his vision is not a structured social philosophy. It is a lively, engaging, polemical reflection on the disputes that took place in the 90s in the Polish social domain. In addition, it highlights Tischner's critical stance towards a religious state, the politicization of religion, and strong right-wing attacks on liberal democracy. It then highlights a project indicating a positive role for the Church in a democratic state. The main task of the Church is to work for towards consolidating democracy's axiological foundation needed for the existence of civil society. In the end it considers the problem of Tischner's involvement in Polish political life, which largely seems to be an obstacle to a reliable description of social phenomena.

This research, analyses the effect of politics on a city and its image, via their control over the formation or changes on urban artifacts. It analyses the concepts introduced in Aldo Rossi’s architectural monograph, The Architecture of the City, in the chapter titled ‘Politics as Choice’, and his idea that a city’s image is a reflection of its political institutions and the choices people in authority make. Monuments and architecture of various cities world over are taken into consideration, and in the authors opinion it becomes evident that over the ages, irrespective of the location, architecture and urban planning are used as tools in achieving or furthering political goals and agendas. These choices made by people in authoritative positions can have long lasting effects on the shape, identity or image of the city. Qualitative analysis based on review of existing literature and urban plans has been done, along with semi-directed interview with experts in the urban history of Rome, Bilbao and Sydney. This approach was adopted as the study analyses concepts which are more analytical and a qualitative methodology is more appropriate for use. Lastly, this study is preliminary research in better understanding the urban artifacts of the 20th century and researches one of the factors that influence their formation, that is politics. Other aspects of socio-economic, historical and cultural factors will be researched in future studies.

Markha ValentaRadboud University Nijmegen Abandoning America the Better to Save American Studies: A Proposal Abstract: This paper argues that the most fruitful future for American Studies is one that subsumes it to global projects, critical sensibilities, political, intellectual and aesthetic fields greater than itself. Correspondingly, the prime referent of American Studies ought not to be a reified “America” but rather the paradoxes, tensions and contestations between democratic and inhumanely extractive relations that gave birth to and continue to shape the US/Americas, even as their reach and flow far exceed “America.” The US – as icon, social field and political actor – is as much the effect as the source of global forces. The most important of these today are ones that qualify, selectively dissolve, concentrate and reconfigure constitutive elements of the nation-state and political geography. Taking this seriously – as the US follows in the footsteps of other countries that have been producing one chauvinist strongman leader after another – means making American Studies not about either “America” or the US but about the world. One particularly promising avenue entails scholarship engaging and contributing to a radical, globalizing democratic culture that is, in fact, deeply aligned with some of the most important traditions and sensibilities in American Studies itself.

The article presents the concept of political education in Germany in the years 1950-1990, specifically taking into consideration its role in building democracy, as well as identity and the development of civic competences. This paper also outlines the terminological problems in civic education from the Polish and German language perspective, and the institutional and legal determinants used in political education. The main point of reflection is the analysis of the stages in the institutional development of civic education in Germany in the years 1950-1990. The final conclusions may be useful in social and political studies, or in the implementation of innovative systemic solutions in civic education today.
