Teaching is ranked as a prestigious occupation in national opinion polls. However, teachers themselves, when asked about problems at work, reported low wages and the lack of respect from students. The discrepancy between research findings about the social hierarchy of the profession and the perceptions of teachers themselves raises questions about the factors influencing the social image of the teaching profession. This article describes the influences on teachers’ social position, based on individual interviews with current and former teachers.

Tolerance is an imperfect human response to human imperfectness, and is revealed, among other phenomena, in an inevitably subjective character of the criteria which we use in making moral choices. Freedom of citizens in the face of law entails freedom of accepting one’s own hierarchy of values, within the area encircled by the borderlines of the rule of respect to the freedom of others. Tolerance which is defined in that way is a mode of conflict-free co-existence of representatives of various cultural, religious world-views traditions in a global society. It should be implemented in legal norms as well as by public institutions.

The term respect is frequently used in ordinary communication however it also has a significant role in philosophical discussions focused on environmental ethics. This essay deals with the ambiguity of the term respect. The author analyzes respect from a philosophical point of view claiming that several possible interpretations of what the word respect means and what standards of behavior to which it is to be related. It is pointed out that the issue of whether respect should be understood as an attitude or behavior. The author highlights the problem of constraints imposed by respect and the relation of respect to intrinsic and instrumental value. The approach is analyzed also from the point of view of Kant’s ethics, nevertheless the author examines it also from the standpoints of various contemporary environmental ethicists (e.g. Taylor, Goodpaster, Katz, Lo). However, author concludes that understanding respect as a virtue appears to be a most promising approach in contemporary environmental ethics because it can solve the problem of finding balanced interpretation of respect.

One question of applied ethics is the status and proper treatment of marginal cases, i.e., of people who are not yet or not anymore in full possession of their rational capacities, such as elderly demented people. Does one belittle them if one does not treat them like normal human adults, or would it be disrespectful and demanding too much if one did? Are elderly demented even the proper object of respect? In this paper I explore what Kant would say about these questions if he had addressed them. I look at what Kantian respect is, how he justifies the requirement to respect others, and what it demands more specifically. My claim is that Kant conceives of respect as a maxim of not exalting oneself above others. One should adopt this attitude independently of what the other is like. Differences between normal human adults and marginal cases are important for how one should treat them, but ultimately not for the question of why one should treat them with respect. Accordingly, elderly demented people should be respected, and it depends on the individual case what kind of actions this implies.

The text is devoted to the analysis of civility, which practically disappeared from the contemporary pedagogical discourse (though not the humanistic one). The (re)construction of the concept is aimed at restoring the importance of civility as a form of civilised life and at arguents for learning, i.e. acquiring this quality. For this purpose, a review of historical concepts concerning civility is made, then the link of civility with customs and morals as a part of the civilising process is shown. At the end, its contemporary approach is proposed in a dual role and space: interpersonal and social, in the private and public spheres, in their mutual dependencies. It is assumed that the (re)construction of the concept, including the presentation of civility as a useful good and at the same time a manifestation of the human morality or the human condition in general, makes it possible to place it among the internal goods of education.

The main objective of this inquiry is to examine the reach and influence of the Unconditional Norm throughout Karol Wojtyła’s thinking in order to understand the Wojtylian personalistic norm and to propose it as the basis for all social interactions. To this end, our primary method is obtained from the study of Kant’s Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals, which exposes the theory of imperatives and in a special way is able to show, as opposed to utilitarianism, how it is that a person can never be a mere means, but is rather an end in itself. This Kantian concept had a profound impact on Wojtyła, who was also critical of utilitarian ethics and thus found great inspiration in the Kantian proposal. However, Wojtyła goes beyond the Kantian proposal because, although they coincide in many points, Wojtyła felt that the subject of experience was not sufficiently addressed, given that it had an a priori, and therefore insufficient, perspective of the personal self. Wojtyła’s Aristotelian-Thomist education, driven by the discovery of Max Scheler’s phenomenology, gave substance to a very original doctrine in both method and projection.

The Relevance of Civility Today

The paper emphasizes the contemporary relevance of civility, understood as a respectful way of treating the other and recognition of people’s differences and sensibilities. It outlines the sociological importance of civility as being connected with its role as both a normative guidance orienting us towards prescriptive ideals and as an empirical concept with important social impact on identities and actions. The paper examines Adam Smith’s theory which roots civility in a commercial society, analyses Elias’s (1994) history of civility as the folding of the logic of the civilizing process, and it debates theories linking the idea of civility to civil society. In conclusion, emphases are put on the importance of civility, seen as the act of respectful engaging with people across deep divisions, for the quality of democracy.

Esta sentencia del Tribunal de la Rota de la Nunciatura Apostólica confirma una sentencia de nulidad matrimonial por causa del miedo grave y externamente inferido (temor reverencial). En los tribunales eclesiásticos unos 10% de los procesos matrimoniales se tramita por causa del miedo grave. En esta sentencia el ponente estudia los diversos aspectos de este vicio del consentimiento matrimonial como la gravedad, su carácter extrínseco e indeclinable, la antecedencia a la prestación del consentimiento. Esta sentencia puede resultar muy interesante para conocer la relación que existe entre la operatividad de la amenaza y la reactividad de la perturbación psíquica subsiguiente.

Karl Heinrich Heydenreich (1764–1801), a now almost forgotten German thinker of the late Enlightenment, attempted his own transcendental-philosophical definition of the aesthetic category of the sublime in the article “Grundriß einer neuen Untersuchung über die Empfindungen des Erhabenen” (1789), which preceded Kant's Critique of Judgment by a year. Thanks to this endeavor, he was often described in the history of aesthetics as being a Kantian in aesthetics before Kant, but his article has not to this point received a detailed analysis. The present study shows that, in particular, Kant's moral-philosophical concept of respect for moral law played a crucial role in Heydenreich's reflections on the sensation of the sublime as a product of pure reason.

Karl Heinrich Heydenreich (1764–1801), dnes téměř neznámý pozdně osvícenský německý myslitel, se v článku „Grundriß einer neuen Untersuchung über die Empfindungen des Erhabenen“ (1789), jenž o rok předcházel Kantově Kritice soudnosti, pokusil o vlastní transcendentálně-filosofickou definici estetické kategorie vznešena. Díky tomuto počinu byl sice v dějinách estetiky nejednou líčen jako kantián v estetice před Kantem, podrobné analýzy se však jeho článku dosud nedostalo. Předložená studie ukazuje, že zásadní roli v Heydenreichově úvaze o pocitu vznešena coby produktu čistého rozumu sehrál zejména Kantův morálně-filosofický koncept pocitu úcty k mravnímu zákonu.

According to the contemporary theory by Howard Gardner (2009: 26), despite the fact that the school curricula aim at European and global standardization, they do not prepare learners to living in the version of the future world that approaches us. Therefore, we should introduce new ways of teaching, since the current methods have proved to be ineffective. We should also establish new objectives as well as forming novel paths in education, new means of thinking and gaining knowledge, while keeping in mind the demands that the new world imposes on us. Gardner (ibid.) emphasizes the necessity of studying more than one discipline, apart from specializing in one field, in addition to developing the ability to integrate information, the need for creativity, treating others with respect and consolidating the ethos. The requirement underlying the fulfillment of these goals lies within our cognitive skills and relies on the enhancement of five minds: interdisciplinary, integrative, creative, respectful, and ethical. A reflection comes to mind then as to the necessity to gradually build up awareness in learners in order to achieve these objectives and enable them to excel in developing the five minds. Therefore, the Author refers to many methodologists and psycholinguists, who present various aspects accompanying the process of consciously instilling the need for the development of the five minds.

First I discuss the rights as unavoidable part of the human dignity. There are four possible relations: dignity has a wider extension, the volume of both is equivalent, dig-nity includes in itself a bundle of rights, or it is just a simple right. There are good rea-sons to support the last two, even the last position. Then I evaluate some of the chal-lenging innovations in the medical technology, if they are acceptable in front of this close connection. The focus falls on three topics: PGD, cloning, and fusion of human-animal cells. Using moral principles such as non discrimination and non instrumentali-zation I look for some normative framing.

Liking and respect are postulated as two dimensions of interpersonal attitudes. Liking-disliking is an idiosyncratic response which depends mostly on how target persons influence interests and well-being of the attitude holder and is accompanied by beliefs in their communal traits. Respect-disrespect is a socially shared response which depends mostly on the social status of target persons and is accompanied by beliefs in their agency. This Self-interest /Status Model (SSM) of differences between liking and respect was tested in two studies. It was predicted and found that respect responses (and underlying judgments of agentic traits) are socially shared to higher extent than liking responses (and underlying judgments of communal traits).

Komunikacja interpersonalna jest procesem społecznym realizującym się między jednostkami. Znamionuje ją swoisty dynamizm, gdyż polega ona na odbiorze, przyjęciu, zrozumieniu oraz interpretacji informacji, które to dokonują się we wspólnocie zawiązującej się pomiędzy uczestnikami procesu. Jest ona zjawiskiem nieodwracalnym i towarzyszącym ludziom od narodzin aż do śmierci. Jej nieodzownym elementem i trwałym spoiwem powinien być szacunek. W odniesieniu do relacji wychowawczej komunikację opartą na szacunku uznać należy za jeden z predyktorów jej jakości

Interpersonal communication is a social process between individuals. It is charac-terized by a specific dynamism, because it consists of the reception, acceptance, understanding and interpretation of information, which takes place in the community of participants of the cycle. It is an irreversible phenomenon that accompanies people from birth to death. Its indispensable element and durable bond should be respect. Regarding to the educational relationship based on respect, communication should be considered as one of the predictors of its quality.

The article disclosed and substantiated the ideas of child-centrism of the pedagogical heritage of Vasily Alexandrovich Sukhomlinsky and their roles in the modern system of education. It is determined that the teacher was developing the ideas that were not typical for Soviet pedagogy including the idea of the freedom of choice, the freedom of will, self-worth and uniqueness of each individual. On the basis of a retrospective analysis it is found out that the views of the scientist were built on the ground of the child-centrism and they made a holistic educational system which was implemented successfully in a three-vector area: teacher – child – environment. The main child-centrism ideas of the humanistic system of Vasily Alexandrovich Sukhomlinsky are picked out and characterized. Among them: the uniqueness of each child, the humanistic attitude of the teacher towards the students, the humanization of the educational process. One of the main ideas in the system of V. A. Sukhomlinsky’s humanistic attitudes on the essence of the educational process is the idea of a man as the unique and the higher value, which means not just to respect but to love him, to strive for understanding him and to help him with something, to do only good for him, to be able to share troubles and joy with him. The analysis of the theoretical heritage of an outstanding teacher gives grounds to assert that he explored the profession of a teacher deeply, he substantiated the concept of humanistic orientation of the teacher’s personality and outlined the aspects of the teacher’s humanistic position, such as: the respect that is combined with the exactingness, the wise authority of the teacher over the child, the child’s trust to the teacher, the caution with accusations. The core of the humanistic system of Vasily Sukhomlinsky is the principle of individual approach, which is the basis of pedagogy since its inception and is available in almost all the works of the teachers of the past. And only Vasily Alexandrovich made this principle as the main component of the educational process of his «School of joy», in which the special attention was paid to the education of the abilities and aptitudes of the pupils with brightly expressed inclinations. A subject for further research could be the compilation of meaningful portrait of the notion of «child-centrism» on the basis of the comparison of the positions of various scholars and representatives from different eras.

The article attempts to define the sacred as a symbol which is cognizable by the senses and which connects a human being with the divine reality. The sacred has two dimensions which indicate its ontological otherness and its integrating and standard-setting function. Separation of the sacred sphere from the public sphere renders the sacred to be worthy of respect and, at the same time, not to be subjected to any interference by unauthorized individuals and institutions. Taking care of the sacrum emphasizes the sublimity of this reality and provides for the respect towards those sharing the faith in the sacred. Preserving and promoting the significance of the sacred in human life aims at protecting spiritual sensitivity to good and beauty that motivates a human being to take noble actions and inspires him to adopt the attitudes characterized by love and service. The faith and the sacred sphere should be defended, above all, by the testimony given in words and actions, aimed at showing and justifying the rationality of the given deeds and service expressing and promoting love.

W tekście podjęto próbę zdefiniowania sacrum jako możliwego do zmysłowego uchwycenia symbolu rzeczywistości świętej, łączącego człowieka z rzeczywistością boską. Sacrum posiada dwa wymiary wskazujące na jego ontologiczną inność oraz funkcję integrującą i normotwórczą. Wyodrębnienie sfery sacrum z powszedniej użyteczności sprawia, że staje się ona czymś, co winno być otoczone szacunkiem i zarazem niepoddawane ingerencjom ze strony nieuprawnionych do tego osób i instytucji. Przez otoczenie opieką rzeczywistości przynależącej do płaszczyzny sacrum, wskazuje się na wzniosłość tej rzeczywistości i domaga się szacunku dla osób, które ją przyjmują i podzielają. Zachowanie i rozszerzanie znaczenia sacrum w życiu ludzkim służy ocalaniu duchowej wrażliwości człowieka na dobro i piękno, które porusza go do szlachetnych działań i inspiruje do zajmowania postaw nacechowanych miłością i służbą. Obrona wiary i sfery sacrum winna dokonywać się nade wszystko na płaszczyźnie przekonywania przez słowo i świadectwo życia, dążące do wykazania i uzasadnienia racjonalności danych działań oraz praktyki służby prowadzącej do miłości.

In this paper the author explores the conditions under which inter-religious dialogue can be a transformative process not only of the interlocutor’s understanding of the be-liefs and values of the religiously different other but also her attitude toward him or her. The proposition elucidated and defended is that, to be transformative, the dialogue should be God-centered, objective, empathic, and it should be grounded in the values of equality, respect, and toleration. The paper is composed of two parts. The first is devot-ed to an analysis of the concept of dialogue in general and of inter-religious dialogue in particular: What are the structural elements of dialogue between (a) individuals and (b) religious communities? The second part is devoted to an analysis of the conditions under which inter-religious dialogue can be a transformative process. The focus in this analysis is on the following question: What does it take for a person who has grown up in a certain religion, who understands herself and in fact lives from the standpoint that religion, to discern the religious truth proclaimed by another religion, to comprehend it, appreciate it, assent to it, and incorporate it in the structure of her mind or worldview? We may construct a formidable strategy, one that wins the blessing of reason, still, the question remains: How can a community, which tends to be exclusivist in its religious orientation, change its understanding of God or attitude toward the religious different other?

Plato who is an excellent expert of the human nature, makes the subject of his interest the old age and the life of the people of advanced age as well. The reflection on the fate of the old people is not the main subject of deliberation in the Plato’s dialogues but appears mainly in the context of the social and political conception of the ideal state. The issues connected with the life and function of the old people in social structures are the subject of the discussion e.g. in the Laws. Plato presents not only his theoretical deliberation about the old age but also makes the old men the interlocutors in his dialogues to depict the portrait of the members of the oldest social group and to portrait their attitude to life and the passing of time. Cephalus who resigned himself to his fate in the Republic, three old men who make an effort to enact the just code of laws in the Platonic Laws, or old Socrates, who in the Crito and Phaedo waits for the death penalty, faithful to his ideals to the end of his days. These are only a few examples of the elderly people, presented by philosopher, who become embedded in the memory of the readers of the Platonic dialogues. The aim of this article is to provide the answers to the questions, how is the old age perceived by Plato and what social role the elderly people fulfill in his idealisticconception of the state. I will also consider the way in which Plato portrayed the old people who were the main characters in the Republic and Laws.
