The issue of eco-efficiency is associated with actions aimed at increasing the productivity of raw materials, natural resources and energy savings in production and at the same time offering environmentally friendly products and services. This kind of action is beneficial to businesses and the environment, as well as the society. By reducing the pressure on the environment, caused by production processes, consumption and investment, it is possible to reduce impact of anthropological risks and simultaneously ensuring ecological safety. This article addresses the explanation of the possible connection of eco-efficiency and ecological safety. Considerations include the issue of terminology, as well as key elements of both concepts. The main thesis is: creating solutions for ecoefficiency is associated with ecological safety.

The essay tries to approach the question of whether it is conceivable to bring the human and animal to the common existential denominator, to open the possibility of thinking in terms of the “humanimal.” Thus, what presents itself as the major problem is the issue of whether or not it is possible to, borrowing the phrase from e.e. cummings’s poem, “unanimal mankind.” Various paths which one may take inspecting this territory open yet another vital interrogation concerning the degree to which the societal dimension of human culture and “formalized humanity” (Herman Melville’s phrase) is enracinated in the presocietal, primeval world of which the animal is representative.

In the Quran, the Muslim Holy book, many verses refer to the human being and in many ways issues regarding mankind are dealt with. In the Quran the possibility of doubting God’s existence is ruled out as man has a particular nature (“Fitrah” is a Quranic term). The aim of this paper is to disclose the very basic Quranic concept concerning human nature: Fitrah. According to the Quranic understanding, mankind has its origin in God; this understanding is based on the concept of Fitrah. Fitrah is considered a natural component of the human being in which God and another Truth can be perceived through man’s existential experience.

To understand the significance of a pragmatist stance in this matter we must address a basic question: which kind of evolution are we referring to when talking of “evolutionary epistemology”? If we take evolution to be an undifferentiated concept, such that no useful distinction can be found in it, we are on a wrong track. The evolutionary “pattern” is certainly one, but this should not lead us to assume that the specific characteristics of mankind must be left out of the picture, either because they are not important or because no specifically human characteristic is admitted. Nicholas Rescher’s evolutionary framework, for example, is instead pluralistic and multi-sided. It is worth noting how and why Rescher’s evolutionary epistemology differs from the one delineated in a famous book by Karl Popper. The Austrian-born philosopher based his approach on the “random conjectures and refutation” model. A scientist, for example, faces the problem of explaining nature’s doings by one of the endlessly many hypotheses that he has at his disposal. Subsequently he chooses to endorse a conjecture from this infinite range, and the testing itself, via falsification, furnishes the necessary selection. According to Popper’s picture we have, in sum, a sort of blind and random mechanism: his “trial-and-error” search procedure. Rescher’s opinion about this issue is that, on such Popperian grounds, scientific progress becomes more or less inexplicable. In particular, the success in providing explanatory theories that perform well in prediction and the guidance of applications in a complex world is now an accident of virtually miracolous proportions.

Armed conflicts represent an inseparable part of the development of human civilisation from its beginning till today. Regardless the type of conflict, intrastate or international, their destructive power is tremendous, and therefore they cause enormous human, economic, social, environmental and further damages. As the number of conflicts, the destructiveness of used weapons and weapons systems, the number of casualties and amount of caused damages has grown, conflicts have become one of the most intensive and serious global security problems. For that reason, the research of conflicts has become an inseparable part of security science.

Janusza Stanisława Pasierba mistyczne inspiracje wizji człowieka

The article presents some reflections and thoughts of a contemporary Polish theologian, art historian and poet, Janusz Stanislaw Pasierb (1929−1993), concerning the Man-God relationship. In the pages of his masterpieces, especially those poetic, the author records the history of meetings between God and human beings; the history of departures, returns, visitations, sudden revelations, and indeed meditative concentration. It can all be perceived – and so it has been done – in the categories of mystique, which features mankind’s “breaking through” into the light of God’s presence. According to the intellectual and priest from Pelplin, a human being, as well as the world and reality – at least to some degree – seem to be rooted in a mystical experience, discovered to be the sanctified space of a potential contact with the transcendental Creator.
PL
W artykule przedstawiono refleksje i spostrzeżenia współczesnego polskiego teologa, historyka sztuki i poety Janusza Stanisława Pasierba (1929−1993) na temat relacji Bóg – człowiek. Rejestrowaną przez niego na kartach swoich dzieł, zwłaszcza poetyckich, historię spotkań Boga z jednostką ludzką, odejść, powrotów, nawiedzeń, nagłych rewelacji i iście medytacyjnych skupień, można postrzegać w kategoriach mistyki, eksponującej „przedzieranie się” człowieka ku światłu Bożej obecności. W myśli pelplińskiego kapłana-intelektualisty człowiek, a także – przynajmniej w pewnym stopniu – świat, rzeczywistość zdają się być zakorzenione w doświadczeniu mistycznym, odkryte jako uświęcona przestrzeń potencjalnego kontaktu z transcendentnym Stwórcą.

La caricature sociale dans les albums de Jean Bruller : une Comédie humaine de l’entre-deux-guerres

The first albums of the cartoonist Jean Bruller propose an original social caricature by combining text and image. La danse des vivants (1932-1938) aspires to illustrate the human comedy of the 20th century with a caricature of customs and a universalist tone; Visions intimes et rassurantes de la guerre (1936) is anchored in the interwar years to develop a social criticism strongly influenced by the threats of war. This article offers an in-depth analysis of the aesthetics of Jean Bruller’s two works, marked by a particularly wry and ironic humour and some pessimism. This analytical approach will also be complemented by an account of the dialogue between the work and the artist’s thinking, as well as of the dialogue between his production and the historical-social context.

Les premiers albums du dessinateur Jean Bruller proposent une caricature sociale originale par la combinaison du texte et de l’image. Si La danse des vivants (1932-1938) aspire à illustrer la comédie humaine du XXe siècle par la caricature de mœurs et un ton universaliste, Visions intimes et rassurantes de la guerre (1936) s’ancre dans la période de l’entre-deux-guerres pour développer une critique sociale fortement influencée par les menaces de guerre. Cet article propose une analyse approfondie de l’esthétique de ces deux ouvrages brulleriens, marqués par un humour particulièrement mordant et ironique et par un certain arrière-goût pessimiste. Cette approche analytique se nourrira de même du dialogue entre l'œuvre et la pensée de l’artiste, ainsi que du dialogue entre sa production et le contexte historico-social.

Questions regarding the moral end, the meaning of human life, often resonate in the work of Solzhenitsyn. The Russian author has considered them based on his own experience in the gulag. The aim of this paper is to show some of the problems resulting from communism from Solzhenitsyn’s point of view. The article does not focus on his arguments about politics, however, but consider his discussion of values, most importantly his view of human values as presented in his novel Cancer Ward, which is a suitable resource for the study of his beliefs and perspective.
