The article is an attempt at looking at the literary motif of “Potiphar’s wife” in view of the relation of the will of the characters to their love choices. The analysis includes three French lais of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries: Lanval by Marie de France and two anonymous works: Lai de Graelent and Lai de Guingamor. Aspect of the will and choice, seemingly insignificant in light of the common, well-defined narrative pattern determining the plot of works, turns out to be an interesting area of freedom for the authors themselves. The way of showing of the decision-making mechanisms allows them to individualize the psychological profiles of characters and to differentiate the level of dramatization of the scenes of choice.

Artykuł jest próbą spojrzenia na literacki motyw „żony Putyfara” pod kątem relacji woli bohaterów do ich miłosnych wyborów. Analiza obejmuje trzy francuskie lais z XII i XIII wieku: Lanval Marie de France oraz anonimowe Lai de Graelent i Lai de Guingamor. Aspekt woli i wyboru, pozornie mało znaczący w świetle wspólnego, wyraźnie określonego schematu narracyjnego określającego przebieg akcji utworów, okazuje się interesującą przestrzenią wolności dla samych autorów. Sposób ukazania mechanizmów podejmowania decyzji pozwala im na zindywidualizowanie psychologicznych sylwetek bohaterów oraz zróżnicowanie poziomu dramatyzacji scen wyboru.

In the article, the author presents the main theses of his Psychologia dążeń I skłonności zawodowych (Psychology of Vocational Strivings and Inclinations, Jarosiewicz, 2012). Empirically grounded, the study draws on career counselling practice, in particular on the provision of career diagnosis on the basis of multiplechoice tests (Achtnich, 2010). Analysing the assumptions behind such qualitative techniques, the author comes to distinguish the phenomenon of choice as such within a wider group of decision-making processes. He defi nes “choice” as settling on the object of wanting. Choice-making is informed by a person’s prior experiences and desires crystallized as strivings. A person tends to choose what s/he fi nds personally suitable, because the role of choice consists in subjective directing of one’s activity, that is in self-directing. The author contrasts the subjectivity of choices with the objectivity of decisions, and even with their objectivism in their role of directing things.

The pivotal point in the Austrian literature on homogeneity, choice and indifference was constituted by Nozick’s On Austrian Methodology. Nozick provoked a long debate on the above notions within Austrianism. The aim of this paper is to elaborate such an account of homogeneity that would take the sting out of Nozick’s challenge and allow for non-trivial formulation of the law of diminishing marginal utility. Hence, we shall first take a closer look at the debate on indifference within the Austrian camp, while defending and building upon the Hoppean account vis-à-vis Block’s criticism. Our justification of the Hoppean position shall consist in showing that his account of the correct description of an action is not an ad hoc move aimed at solving just one problem of indifference but is highly intuitive and widely applicable. We conclude by restating the above-mentioned law, thus demonstrating that the Nozickian objection can be successfully replied.

The aim of the article is to introduce the factors determining the careers of undergraduates of first-cycle full-time studies from the area of Podkarpackie Province based on panel survey. The analysis shows that careers are shaped multistage and the core factor is the type of university and the determinants of its choice, the economic situation of students’ families among the others. The more difficult the situation is the higher probability of starting work, it is less likely then to start work and studies, and the least likely to start only studying. What is more, it appears that undergraduate careers are determined not only by the fact whether the university is state or private, but also by the character of the school (PWSZ - The State School of Higher Professional Education, non-PWSZ). Although setting up a network of universities in Podkarpackie Province resulted in easier access to higher education, even for those from poor families, economical factors still differentiate the opportunities of continuing education on second-cycle studies. Thus economic barrier in access to education has not been completely removed, it has just been moved one level up. On the other hand though, one can notice that for some students the choice of university is determined by the ease of obtaining the diploma, which in turn is rewarded by the system of education with a higher possibility of continuing education. Therefore it is a functional factor, both on the individual and structural level (allows a great number of universities to operate).

The article discusses lexical units chcąc nie chcąc and mimo woli, which are used in contemporary Polish. Firstly, the author justifies why she considers chcąc nie chcąc and mimo woli as lexical units. Later, she describes features of the expressions under discussion by showing restrictions in their lexical collocations. Among other things, the author investigates whether there is a component communicating necessity in the expression chcąc nie chcąc and whether the unit mimo woli refers to a moment preceding the initation of an action. The analysis conducted in the article shows that when we describe an activity with the expression mimo woli, we declare that somebody did not decide on initating it. Whereas the expression chcąc nie chcąc, states that something caused a given action and that it was not the will of the person who initiated it to do so. At the end of the article, the author presents the semantic explications of the expressions studied.

The paper aims at grasping Henryk Elzenberg’s thought on human condition on both social and universal level. By showing an individual in the world doomed to relations Elzenberg tries to analyse distortion and over-interpretations of impulses coming both from human psyche and from civilization. By stigmatization of the shallowness of life and omnipresent utilitarianism he wants to find an alternative to raise the man to higher level, to salvation. For this he proposes focusing on perfect values, independent from man. Noticing the difference between the nature of human and other creatures he highlights the role discovering one’s personal capacities and the necessity of gathering them in what is called culture. Setting as the demand the turn first in mind, related to deepening of self-consciousness, and then also spiritual, he sets alternative roads of experiencing the world, both that given in senses and alternative-one. All of his ideas are ways of building humanity to be more essential and rewarding.

This paper analyses CSR implementation - (Corporate Social Responsibility) in an enterprise as a strategy. In spite of the theoretical and practical applications, there are still methodological concerns regarding its use, particularly as a tool and business model. This paper identifies some important software projects for the promotion of CSR. The conditions were assessed in connection with strategy formulation and objective acceptance in terms of CSR. The results of own research regarding the perception of CSR are also presented and are beneficial for CSR adoption in practice. The search for an effective CSR consensus should be possible and plausible, especially as it relates to P. Drucker's view that "...public interest should be an enterprise's interest".

The topic of this paper is the foundation for individual rights proposed by David Gauthier in his seminal 1986 book Morals by Agreement, and particularly the role of conception of rationality in this foundation. The foundation of rights is a part of Gauthier’s broader enterprise: to ground morals in rationality – more specifically, in the economic conception of rationality. Because of the importance of this conception for the whole of Gauthier’s project, we reconstruct first the conception of rationality which can be found in decision theory and game theory, presenting simultaneously in a relatively non-technical way some basic concepts of the aforementioned disciplines. We proceed then to reconstruction of the foundation of rights itself – it turns on Gauthier’s interpretation of the so-called “Lockean proviso.” Lastly, we turn to the connection between rationality and foundation of rights. It is to be found in the narrow compliance – the disposition to enter only into cooperation which satisfies conditions of fairness set out in part by the Lockean proviso.

Thesis. The aim of the paper is to interpret Kierkegaard's concept of repetition as a way of creating and experiencing authentic existence in an environment that is set up to repeat this same, inauthentic content of consciousness. Concept. Repetition is associated with determinism and represents social stagnation. Repetition creates the conditions for an inauthentic existence. The article offers an interpretation of Kierkegaard's concept of repetition, which is the repetition of another and produces authentic existence. Results and conclusions. Repetition automatically produces of the same. The repetition of one's choice of oneself is a process of creating spirit and individuality, which is a fundamental principle of authentic existence. Creating an authentic personality is one of the ways to solve the current crisis in society, which is associated with an inauthentic experience of existence, abdication of responsibility and repetition of lies. Cognitive value. The postmodern society associated with the use of the media is not the cause of social disorientation. It is a means that an individual uses to repeat the same. The social environment and magic themselves are not negative, the negative is the inauthentic attitude of a person to them.

Luck egalitarianism is the view that inequalities are justified when and only when a particular condition is met. Recent years have seen considerable debate about the exact nature of the risky choices thought by luck egalitarians to justify inequality. All positions in the debate emphasise the importance of choice, but they differ in the precise details of how choice features in the inequality-justifying condition. The present paper argues for a novel view about the conditions under which risky choices should justify choice in a manner that uncovers ambiguity and flaws in existing positions. It rejects existing accounts and develops a new hypothetical choice based account of inequality-justifying risk.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the article is to present selected problems of the democratic system in Poland and to propose directions of development improving its operation. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The research problem was to check whether the implementation of modern organizational concepts and ICT solutions can contribute to a more efficient exercise of democratic power and increase its quality? The basic method was both the analysis of public opinion polls on various aspects of the Polish democracy system and a review of the literature on concepts and scientific theories related to the study of democratic systems. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The first part presents the results of public opinion surveys on democracy and its individual areas of operation. The second section presents concepts and scientific theories related to the study of democratic systems and its mechanisms. The third section presents selected problems of democracy in Poland and proposals for their changes based on the assumptions of concepts and theories discussed in the second part of the article. RESEARCH RESULTS: The crisis of confidence in the current model of democracy results from the mismatch between its form and development challenges. The implementation of both the concept of e-democracy proposed by the European Parliament and organizational solutions based on the assumptions of concepts and scientific theories related to the study of democratic systems should contribute to increase the effectiveness of democracy. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Despite the huge number of publications in the literature and press devoted to democracy, the main focus was either on the assessment of the current state of the system or its elements, or scientific theories related to a given area of democracy. Occasionally, ad hoc proposals for change were indicated, but in this case, they were mostly, without a deeper and broad view of the entire democratic system. This article overcomes the above limitations by combining the assessment of the current perception of democracy with scientific theory, which at the same time provides the basis for proposals for systemic solutions to improve the effectiveness of democracy.

CEL NAUKOWY: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wybranych problemów systemu demokratycznego w Polsce oraz zaproponowanie kierunków rozwoju, poprawiających jego działanie. PROBLEM i METODY BADAWCZE: Problem badawczy dotyczył sprawdzenia czy wdrożenie założeń nowoczesnych koncepcji organizacyjnych i rozwiązań teleinformatycznych może przyczynić się do sprawniejszego sprawowania demokratycznej władzy, a także podwyższenia jej jakości? Podstawową metodą była zarówno analiza badań opinii publicznej o różnych aspektach polskiego systemu demokracji, jak i przegląd literatury przedmiotu dotyczącej koncepcji i teorii naukowych, związanych z badaniem systemów demokratycznych. PROCES WYWODU: W pierwszej części przedstawiono wyniki badań opinii publicznej o demokracji i jej poszczególnych obszarach działania. W drugiej części zaprezentowano koncepcje i teorie naukowe, związane z badaniem systemów demokratycznych i jego mechanizmów. Trzecia część przedstawia wybrane problemy demokracji w Polsce i propozycje ich zmian, opierających się na założeniach koncepcji i teorii omówionych w drugiej części artykułu. WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Kryzys zaufania do obecnego modelu demokracji wynika z niedopasowania jej formy do wyzwań rozwojowych. Wdrożenie zarówno koncepcji e-demokracji proponowanej przez Parlament Europejski, jak i rozwiązań organizacyjnych opierających się na założeniach koncepcji i teorii naukowych, związanych z badaniem systemów demokratycznych, powinno przyczynić się do zwiększenia sprawności działania demokracji. WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Pomimo ogromnej liczby publikacji w literaturze przedmiotu oraz prasie poświęconej demokracji, to przeważnie skupiano się albo na ocenie obecnego stanu systemu lub jego elementów, albo teoriach naukowych związanych z danym obszarem demokracji. Sporadycznie wskazywano ad hoc propozycje zmian, jednak i w tym przypadku miały one przeważnie charakter bieżącego reagowania na negatywne zjawiska, bez głębszego spojrzenia na cały system demokracji. W niniejszym artykule przezwyciężono powyższe ograniczenia poprzez połączenie oceny obecnego postrzegania demokracji z teorią naukową, które jednocześnie stanowią podstawy propozycji rozwiązań systemowych mających poprawić sprawność działania demokracji.

Choosing where to live is a profound decision that affects residents’ income, social interactions, health and safety, as well as daily activities. The study investigates housing preference of residents within the city of Ile- Ife, Nigeria. Data for the study were obtained from both primary and secondary sources. Data obtained include quality of the environment in terms of good layout, availability of infrastructural facilities like good roads, water supply, quietness, peace and adequate security etc.; socio-cultural activities; accessibility to place of work; vacant plot; security of land ownership; and closeness to the place of birth. 309 households were surveyed using multistage sampling. The finding reveals that majority (84.4%) of respondents’ in Iremo have no education at all while most (88.5%) of the respondents’ in Parakin have tertiary education. In Igboya, 54.5% of the respondents has tertiary education. Also, among the most important determinants of residential district preferences within the study area are factors that deal with the quality of the environment (31.0%) and those that are socio-cultural in nature (42.0%). The study established that great differences appear in the determinants of households’ preferences for different residential density districts. The study concluded that each category of residential density district of a city has distinct set of determinants of households’ residential district preferences peculiar to it.

Wybór dotyczący miejsca zamieszkania to podstawowa decyzja, warunkująca dochody mieszkańców, interakcje społeczne, zdrowie i bezpieczeństwo, a także codzienne aktywności. Niniejsze badania obejmują preferencje mieszkaniowe wśród ludności Ile-Ife w Nigerii. Dane uzyskano zarówno ze źródeł pierwotnych, jak i wtórnych. Dotyczą one jakości środowiska w kontekście wizualnym; dostępności infrastruktury, jak dobre drogi, zaopatrzenie w wodę; ciszy, spokoju i odpowiedniego bezpieczeństwa; aktywności społeczno-kulturowych; dostępności miejsc pracy; wolnych działek; pewności własności gruntu; bliskości miejsca narodzin. W badaniach ankietowych wzięło udział 309 respondentów, wybranych wieloetapowo. We wnioskach stwierdzono, że większość ankietowanych (84,4%) w Iremo w ogóle nie ma dostępu do edukacji, natomiast większość mieszkańców (88.5%) w Parakin oraz ponad połowa (54,5%) w Igboya ma dostęp do instytucje edukacji wyższej. Pośród najważniejszych determinant wpływających na preferencje co do dzielnicy mieszkaniowej na badanym obszarze zaliczyć trzeba też czynniki związane z jakością środowiska (31%) oraz z aspektami społeczno-kulturowymi (42%). Badania wykazały, że istnieją znaczące różnice pomiędzy determinantami oddziałującymi na preferencje gospodarstw domowych w dzielnicach o różnej gęstości zaludnienia. W zakończeniu skonkludowano, iż każda kategoria dzielnic o danej gęstości zaludnienia charakteryzuje się odmiennym zestawem czynników warunkujących wybory mieszkaniowe.

Ingmar Bergman contributed his own specific aesthetics and language to the discussion on art. I will try to figure out if by means provided by cinematic techniques Bergman conducted his own reasoning on the matters of philosophical existentialism. In analyzing Prison, The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, Winter Light and Cries and Whispers I am referring to director’s utterances, researcher’s interpretations and existential philosophy – Kierkegaard, Sartre, Heidegger and Jaspers. I take a look at his artistic output in a broad perspective. Based on the opinions expressed by Höök and Bergom-Larsson I assume that entire work of Bergman constitutes a coherent wholeness. Such perspective provides me with possibility to present the connection between Bergman’s movies and existential philosophy as well as his philosophical point of view.

PL

Ingmar Bergman wniósł do dyskusji o sztuce własną estetykę i autorski język. Zastanowię się, czy wykorzystywał filmowe medium do filozofowania w duchu egzystencjalizmu. Analizując Więzienie, Siódmą pieczęć, Tam, gdzie rosną poziomki, Gości Wieczerzy Pańskiej i Szepty i krzyki odwołuję się do: wypowiedzi artysty, interpretacji badaczy jego filmów i filozofii egzystencjalnej – Kierkegaarda, Sartre’a, Heideggera i Jaspersa. Perspektywa interpretacyjna, którą przyjmuję jest panoramiczna. Zakładam za Höök i Bergom-Larsson, że twórczość Bergmana stanowi spójną całość. W takiej perspektywie nie tylko ujawniają się związki filmów Bergmana z filozofią egzystencjalną, ale również jego filozoficzny punkt widzenia.

Complementarity in Nature and … beyond? or: coincidentia oppositorum in the Bibleas Cusanus wishes it In the micro-world, science states both indeterminacy of cognitive re-sults and dubious character of elementary particles, e.g. of light: corpus¬cular and wave. Hence former ideal of science which was supposed to give certainty of cognitive results lost its raison d'être, not mentioning the principle of indeterminacy. In humanities and in everyday life we aim at formulating conclusions which are supposed to give certainty. If we are not able to give evidence, cognition must be lacking precision to some extent. Since the whole Bible has inspired character, the contradictions appearing in it cannot be accidental, and so they become a task for a man. Therefore criterion of coherence in the Bible does not have raison d'être, and hence we encounter some immanent contradictions in it, e.g. recommendations, and on that account a man has to choose between them, the choices resulting in for and against arguments. In consequence, the act of faith will have to be accompanied by uncertainty and risk. The author illustrates these theses by the examples from the Old and the New Testaments, exemplarily analyzing so called „Abraham’s conflict”. Existentialized faith understood in this way does not comprise single acts, there should be repetitive choices forcing a man into steady activity in religious sphere. In contrast to empirical sciences, contradictions included in the Bible do not onlydisqualify the Gospel, but they have faith-creating character because of it.

One of the key steps in the implementation of a public procurement process is the criteria selection that are associated with the bidders, which are intended to ensure that bidders will be able to meet the requirements from the contract. Implicitly, the criteria selection includes their evaluation in situations when the criterion of the lowest price is not applied, but instead the criterion of the most economically advantageous tender. The aim of the paper is to show that decision-makers in the public sector can use multi-criteria analysis for the efficient and fair public procurement process implementation and the establishment of objective conditions for the contract awarding in accordance with the general social interests. In this sense, the paper presents a comparative approach to the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Analytic Network Process as the methods of support in decision making, measurement and evaluation criteria for the selection of the best bids in the procurement process. Hierarchical model with five criteria and nine sub-criteria and the network model, which takes into account the mutual influences of criteria, were developed in a hypothetical public procurement selection procedure for the best performers for the construction of the infrastructure facility. Selection of the best bidder, i.e. bids for the realization of the work, is distinctive, multi-criteria problem which includes both qualitative and quantitative factors.
