Unlike in the classical regime, the measurement performed on a quantum system perturbs the state of the system and its properties remain unknown between measurements. Several early interpretations of quantum mechanics suggested that the reduction of the wave vector that occurs in a measurement is effected by a conscious act of an observer. For example, London and Bauer fostered the conviction that it is the act of observation that decides on the fate of the Schrodinger cat. Later developments of quantum mechanical formalism, e.g., decoherence, indicated that there was no need to causally link the mental states of an observer with the purely physical process of a quantum measurement. In particular, the novel quantum models of human brain put forward by Roger Penrose suggest that it is the reduction of the wave vector that causes conscious act of the observer. Although this reversal does not clarify the specifics of the quantum measurement process directly, it illustrates the principle of methodological naturalism whereby externally introduced heuristic postulates are replaced by well justified scientific explanations.

In this paper we comment on the opinions of great philosophers from various epochs on the relationship between computers and the human mind. We ponder over whether we might be able to gain an understanding of the human mind and a perception of the world from the scientific point of view. We focus on the relationship between these two issues.

Agatha Christie (1890–1976), less known as lady Mallowan, an outstanding author, mainly of detective novels, published “Murder in Orient Express” in 1933/34. From the very beginning, the book was considered a masterpiece of this genre. The reason for that is not only brilliantly constructed plot with astonishing culminating point, but also the fact that the author of the book referred to an authentic event which evoked great emotions. The event that inspired this novel was kidnapping and murder of the little son of a known and admired American pioneer of intercontinental flights, Charles August Lindbergh, that happened in 1932. The novel was translated into almost all languages. There were also numerous stage adaptations. At least four films were based on this novel which indicates the cultural significance of the work. The subject of the considerations in the present paper is an attempt to search for the answer about the role of the so-called observer in the process of reconstruction, retransmission and assimilation of thematic threads, which can become the reference point not only for the author of the literary work. They may become an element of collective memory and, in this way, the element of culture constituting narration. However, as an object of general knowledge, they are at the same time subjected to common interpretation. The Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, referred to in its basic range in quantum mechanics, indicates the significant role of the subject observing in this process. Heisenberg proved that the presence of an observer is not neutral from the point of view of the quality of the results. Referring to these considerations on the text as a cultural object, let us analyse the ways in which the theme was modified and the significance of these changes. We consider Agatha Christie’s novel and especially its screen adaptations an interesting object of research. The observer, as it turns out, is beside the researcher also the author of the literary text, screenwriter, translator…

The author analyses "Fantazyjne objawy zmysłowe" by W.F. Szokalski in the context of changes of the nineteenth-century observer. Full of contradictions synthesis of Polish ophthalmologist is a register of transformations in the visual field observed by other researchers (Jonathan Crary ), but also the concept of embodied and active look does not fulfil its depth. In the article Szokalski will be treated as a representative of the late-idealist formation, which is aware of restrictions that “disenchantment of the world” causes (epistemological subjectivism resulting from contemporary knowledge of the nervous system, modernist reflections on the contingency of science). However, the ophthalmologist exceeds perceptual distortions and dilemmas of psychophysiology by means of recalling the romantic spirit, which acting on the body backwards, brings the man closer to the Truth. Szokalski turns out to be a representative of the formation that Agata Bielik-Robson called “modernity with anxiety”. This formation is looking for a new sacrum that in the name of the new subject deals rhetorically with entanglement in the body, but also – paradoxically – still remains under its influence.

The activity of Christfried Kirch (1694–1740), son of Gottfried Kirch (1639–1710), the first astronomer of the Royal Prussian Society of Sciences, has not yet received much attention in historiography. Christfried Kirch’s astronomy education – beginning with the studies with his father, to the unfulfilled plans of visits to the observatories in England and France – culminated in his acceptance as an observer of the Royal Prussian Society of Sciences on October 8, 1716. The article aims to present the development of Christfried Kirch’s career and his efforts to achieve the position once held by his father in the Society of Sciences in Berlin.

The paper is devoted to the issue of the visual in poetry. Visuality is considered here as a feature of the poetics of a verbal text. The author outlines main categories that are necessary for analyzing visuality in a poetic text – first of all, it is the vision (sight) of the lyrical I. The main purpose of the paper is to analyze the principal aspects of the representation of the visual in a lyrical poem. These aspects are: image, lyrical plot, compositional forms and allusions to genres of visual arts. Texts by mainly 20th-century Russian poets serve as material.

Статья посвящена проблеме визуального в лирике. Визуальное при этом рассматривается как свойство поэтики вербального текста. В статье выделяются основные категории, необходимые для анализа визуального в лирическом стихотворении – в первую очередь, это зрение лирического субъекта. Главной целью статьи является анализ основных аспектов репрезентации визуального в лирическом стихотворении. Это образ, сюжет, композиционно-речевые формы и аллюзии на жанры визуальных искусств. Материалом является преимущественно лирика российских поэтов ХХ века.
