RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The paper proposes a meth­odology to study individuals and their institutions by the study of their lifestyles. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: Following Wojtyla’s methodology of studying the person on the basis of his or her actions and conduct, I decided to use similar methodology to answer the question: Are the 19th century Co‑operative Values and Principles still pertinent in the complex economy of the 21st century, and, if so, how can we operationalise them to become vibrant guidelines not only in contemporary business, but also in improving our everyday lives? THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The overview of the research on lifestyle in ethnography, marketing, lifestyle and occupational medicine, and finally criminology shows that unlike values, lifestyle can more easily be operationalized and measured. We both expose our lifestyle and are exposed to the lifestyles of others. Some status‑based lifestyles spread like viruses creating a pandemic of consumerism. These product‑based lifestyles are in complete opposition to the person‑oriented co‑operative lifestyle. RESEARCH RESULTS: An Exposure Model of Lifestyle allows new concep­tualization of the isomorphism research. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The agency based model of lifestyle may be used for constructing diagnostic tools and investigating the very essence of personal motives both in private and work life. This model is supposed to help to investigate to what degree an individual’s lifestyle impacts the functioning of a participative company and whether it is reflected in the company’s success.

While nowhere does he use the term to refer to his own theory, Aristotle is often thought to exemplify an early correspondence theory of truth. In the paper, I examine the textual evidence used to support the idea that Aristotle holds a correspondence theory of truth, and to infer the nuances of this theory. I hold that Aristotle’s theory of truth can account for terms that signify non-existent things, i.e., that on Aristotle’s account, an assertion is not automatically false given its subject term’s “failure to refer”. Terms do not refer for Aristotle, they signify (and his use of the concept of signification extends far beyond linguistic reference).

The article is an attempt at explaining the category of logical form used by Ludwig Wittgenstein in his Tractatus logico-philosophicus by using concepts from Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s The Monadology. There are many similarities and analogies between those works, and the key concept for them is the category of the inner and acknowledged importance of consideration based on basic categories of thinking about the world. The Leibnizian prospect allows for a broader look at Wittgenstein’s analysis of the relation between propositions and facts, between language and the world. Using the Hanoverian philosopher’s terminology allows for the demonstration of the ambivalence of the concept of logical form in the philosophy of Wittgenstein and also the metaphysical nature of his first book.

Neodarwinowska genetyka populacyjna, interpretująca ewolucję w kategoriach dziedziczności, modyfikacji i selekcji informacji zainspirowała szereg prób selekcjonistycznego ujęcia zmiany socjokulturowej. Autor artykułu argumentuje, iż źródłem ich niepowodzeń są uproszczenia tkwiące już w ujęciu przez genetykę populacyjną genu w wysoce abstrakcyjny, oderwany od kontekstu sposób. Kluczem do przezwyciężenia tej słabości jest uwzględnienie drugiego poziomu izomorfizmów zachodzących właśnie na poziomie kontekstu (genotypu, organizmu i gatunku). Pozwala to precyzyjnie określić ewolucyjną rolę kulturowej mutacji, rekombinacji i dryfu, co autor demonstruje na przykładzie religii. Z tej perspektywy organizacje eklezjastyczne stanowią izomorficzny z gatunkiem instrument ochrony zharmonizowanych systemów idei religijnych. Posiadają też jednak izomorficzne z organizmami właściwości umożliwiające znaczną redukcję wpływu mutacji, transdukcji i dryfu na system religijny.

The Neo-Darwinian population genetics, interpreting the evolution in terms of heredity, modification and selection of information, inspired a number of attempts to formulate the sociocultural change in selectionist way. The author argues that the key source of their failures, is oversimplification in highly abstract and context-ignoring concept of a gene used by population genetics. To overcome this weakness one should include a second level isomorphisms, that occurs at the level of context (genotype, organism and species). This enables to define more precisely the role of mutation, recombination and drift in cultural evolution, as the author demonstrates an example of religion. From this perspective, ecclesiastical organizations are tools for the protection of a harmonized systems of religious ideas, which are isomorphic to the species. They have also, however, properties isomorphic to organisms that enable a significant reduction of the impact of mutations, transductions and drift on religious system.

Universities’ mission is three-faceted: teaching, research and public service. In today's world, these areas under influence of both external and internal factors are changing rapidly. Enormous changes are occurring in the governance of universities as well. As a result of being long time behind the iron curtain Ukrainian universities have got a lot to catch up, especially in the realm of governance. Changes in this area are long overdue as some threats universities are facing now are so serious that endanger the existence of the universities themselves. The Globalisation as the process of the widening, deepening and speeding up of world wide interconnectedness is a cause of immense changes in universities. The aim of the paper is with the help of monographic method mainly to dash off to work out the allomorphic model of changes in the governance of universities. We argue that there are two alternatives there, using either isomorphic or allomorphic model. The former one is restrictive, prescribing up to details, the later one allowing universities use the ‘global template’ taking into account the circumstances, the base it is going to be build on. Using the allomorphic model universities reforming themselves based on that is their core, and they do so in an active and creative way. We believe that the competitive, institutional, coercive and mimetic pressures universities are under press them to change themselves. In order those changes be efficient they must be based on something native, something that best meets the requirement of the environment the university is in. Putting one ‘global template’ on all seems to as inadequate. This approach lacking the diversity the world is full of. We are all living in different circumstances, so we must adjust the global approach to the local base. So, in order to effectively manage the changes universities must be well governed. Of the two alternative approaches that they can opt for, we believe it is appropriate to use allomorphic option that allows the use of «global template» based on internal Ukrainian «base» and consistently and methodically modify governance in Ukrainian universities.

W polskiej debacie o modernizacji często podkreśla się jej naśladowczy charakter, jednak tylko w niewielkim stopniu bierze się pod uwagę dorobek teorii organizacji w dziedzinie izomorfizmu organizacyjnego. W niniejszym tekście przedstawiono syntetyczny opis badań dotyczących zjawisk zachodzących w trójkącie innowator – organizacje międzynarodowe – imitator i ich wpływ na proces translacji reform organizacyjnych. Na podstawie omówionych badań wyciągnięto wnioski o problemach związanych z naśladowczą strategią modernizacji. W szczególności wskazano na pozorną racjonalność tego rodzaju strategii oraz na konieczność bardziej zdystansowanego i samoświadomego podejścia do modnych recept reformatorskich.

The issue of imitation constitutes a recurring theme in the Polish debate on modernization but that discussion is hardly ever informed by research on organizational isomorphism conducted within the discipline of organization theory. This texts provides a synthetic overview of processes occurring in the “innovator – international organization – imitator” triangle and discusses their impact on translation of organizational reforms. Next, the possible challenges associated with the mimetic strategy – most importantly its superficial rationality – are outlined. The more distanced and self-conscious attitude toward imitation of fashionable prescriptions is suggested.

Artykuł jest próbą wyjaśnienia kategorii formy logicznej użytej przez Ludwiga Wittgensteina w "Traktacie logiczno-filozoficznym" za pomocą pojęć zaczerpniętych z "Monadologii" Gottfrieda Wilhelma Leibniza. Pomiędzy oboma dziełami zachodzą liczne podobieństwa oraz analogie, a kluczowe jest dla nich pojęcie tego, co wewnętrzne, i uznanie ważności rozważań nad podstawowymi kategoriami myślenia o świecie. Perspektywa leibnizjańska pozwala w sposób szerszy spojrzeć na wittgensteinowskie analizy relacji zachodzącej pomiędzy zdaniem a faktem, językiem a światem. Wykorzystanie terminologii hanowerskiego filozofa, pozwoli wykazać ambiwalencję pojęcia formy logicznej w filozofii Wittgensteina oraz metafizyczny charakter jego pierwszej książki.

Analogy is one of the basic ways of acquiring knowledge and expressing it with the help of language in order to preserve realism and rationalism. Drewnowski proposed the concept of analogy as “formal correspondence”. Later, when he was dealing with practical philosophy, he described an analogy in his “spatial scheme”. The article presents examples of the use of both types of analogy in the entire work of Drewnowski, especially in the field of theology. The use of concepts of analogy according to Drewnowski and Bocheński to the description of the dogma of the Holy Trinity was also compared, and the philosophical method of Drewnowski was presented as analogous to the method of physics.
PL
Analogia jest jednym z podstawowych sposobów zdobywania wiedzy i wyrażania jej za pomocą języka tak, aby zachować realizm i racjonalizm. Drewnowski zaproponował pojęcie analogii jako „formalnej odpowiedniości”. Później, gdy zajmował się filozofią praktyczną, ujmował analogię przy pomocy schematu przestrzennego. W artykule przedstawiono przykłady wykorzystania obu typów analogii w całym dziele Drewnowskiego, w szczególności w dziedzinie teologii. Porównano też zastosowanie analogii według Drewnowskiego i Bocheńskiego do opisu dogmatu Trójcy Świętej oraz przedstawiono metodę filozoficzną Drewnowskiego jako analogiczną do metody fizyki.

W artykule przedstawiono relacyjny model zdaniowy w systemie innych modeli, zakreślono pole modelu w oparciu o różnorodną semantykę tworzących go czasowników relacyjnych, semantyczne role i taksonomiczne klasy argumentów. Opisano procesy derywacji semantycznej, w których wyniku pole modelu relacyjnego poszerza się kosztem predykatów pierwotnie czynnościowych. Nowa semantyka wielokrotnie skutkuje kształtowaniem się nowych paradygmatów gramatycznych. Istnienie czasowników z tzw. wahającą się semantyką daje możliwość nadawcy tekstu naukowego ujmować czynności intelektualne zarówno agentywnie, jak i impersonalnie.

In the article the author describes the relational sentence model against a background of other sentence models, presents the semantic field of the model on the basis of different semantic groups of verbs, semantic roles and taxonomic classes of the actants. Processes of semantic derivation were described which result in the expansion of the relational model’s field due to agentive predicates of action. New semantics often results in the development of new grammatical paradigms. Due to predicates with unstable semantics, authors of academic texts can choose between agentivity or impersonality while describing the intellectual activities.
