O próbach wykorzystania konstruktu alienacji do konceptualizacji procesu demoralizacji

This article is a trial of understanding the process of moral corruption of young people in the context of their feeling of social alienation. It is underlined that the term of moral corruption is a legal term with a pejorative tinge that has no psychological designatum. This article presents a conception of M. Seeman alienation with an emphasis on five categories distinguished by the author: self – estrangement, powerlessness, social isolation, meaninglessness and formlessness. On the base of Seemana’s theory, K.Kmiecik-Baran has constructed the Scale of Feeling and Integration which she has enriched Seeman’s categories with their opposing dimensions: self-estrangement – authonomy, powerlessness – self reliance, social isolation – social integration, meaninglessness – sense, normlessness – social order. This article gets closer the theoretical foundations of scale and it contains a description of causes and consequences of alienation from the developmental perspective. The destructive ways of managing the alienation described in the article such as drinking alcohol, taking intoxicant, rebellion against the social norms, creating or belonging to groups of destructive nature are behaviours, which according to law, (the Act of juvenile processes) are the evidence of moral corruption. This is the recommendation to use the model of Alienation and Integration to describe and understand the process of moral corruption.

The article is devoted to the cultural and moral aspects of alienation. European culture is formed as a conglomerate of communities and states the members of which build their identity basing it on the awareness of distinction (spatial, anthropological, religious, normative). Therefore, there is no Europe without 'her foreigners'. Still the relations with them were most often destructive. Until now, the problem of cultural diversity within Europe and of our relation to the immigrants is ambiguous and complex. At the same time it was within European culture that the code of universal values based on the demand for universal equality came into being. From the beginning, the formal (religious, Enlightenment) equality started to be put into practice being influenced by the ideas of the Greek philoxenia, philanthropy and cosmopolitism, Christian caritas, Enlightenment tolerance, Hegelian 'recognition' and human solidarity.

Atopy: the Herd and Individuality

The article's starting point is semantic analysis of 'atopy', the word rarely in use today, which, as combined with the notion of 'herd-ity' and 'individuality', is tasked with describing the subject's situation in a post-modern age, and in the first place, the experience of post-modernity. In our contemporary world, 'atopy' is combined with alienation; it is a non-place, close to the Derridian 'différance', as it is situated between the poles of unambiguous trenchant positions. It barely stands definite uncontested opinions leading to commonplace opinions (doxa). In the ethical sense, the experience of 'atopy' implies an ostentatious protest against the restricting influences of omnipresent mass culture (interpersonal relations, university, politics, etc.).

The protagonists of the drama 'Huis clos' are condemned to sleeplessness and incessant criticism by others. They find this situation painful and surprising. As every one of us, they believe that the ultimate truth about ourselves must be private, subjective and accessible only to our own conscience and memory. When suddenly they are judged by others, they feel mortified, and do not even care if the judgment is harsh or lenient. It must be so, because the world is a meaningful and hospitable place to us only if it is a world of our own dreams, myths and fulfilled desires. If it is not, we feel alienated and rejected. This is why we make such high demands on others. We want them to act as mirrors of our lives and characters. We want to see our reflection in their eyes, but we cannot reconcile ourselves with negative opinions they may hold about us. Thus our existence depends on public acceptance, which is hard to win if all facts concerning our lives are made public. But without public acceptance we as well as cease to exist.

This paper reports on the impact of employment status, reactivity, and coping on immediate and long-term subjective well-being (SWB) outcomes. Outcomes investigated were subjective health (intensity of somatic symptoms), life satisfaction, and alienation. Three coping strategies were examined: Avoidance coping, Seeking Support, and Job Search. The study relied on a combination of cross-sectional and longitudinal designs. A longitudinal design was used to follow the unemployed participants from approximately 4–6 weeks after layoff to about three months after they stopped receiving unemployment compensation, i.e., for 10 months. Two reference groups included (1) the employed and (2) long-term unemployed (approx. 24 months) participants. In general, employed men reported better subjective health and less alienation than the moderate-term unemployed. Long-term unemployment was damaging for both men and women. Short-term SWB was determined by reactivity and coping. Support was not found for a relationship between reactivity and long-term SWB. Coping strategies were strong predictors of later deterioration of SWB. Post Scriptum -Polish criteria differ from those used in the EU and do not include persons who have not registered in Labor Offices. According to Polish legislation a person is eligible for unemployment compensation for the first six months after a layoff.

My paper follows the discussion opened by Jon Stewart’s recent book on Hegel’s concept of alienation and its influence on nineteenth-century thought, specifically in the chapter devoted to the concept of alienation in S. Kierkegaard. To begin the article, before I get to the central problem I will try to classify two basic types of alienation we can encounter in the whole of Kierkegaard’s work: the religious (or universal) alienation of the Christian from the world and the existential alienation of man from himself: despair. The core of the study is devoted to an analysis of Kierkegaard’s concept of despair, which Kierkegaard understands as one of the basic structural moments of human subjectivity. Here I will focus particularly on portraying and analysing the spiritual and dialectical nature of despair. My main intention, however, will be to interpret despair as a fundamental form of the self-alienated self. For despair expresses a state of existence in which the self is not oneself, a state in which the self seems to be separated from its own true self. This interpretation of mine corresponds to Stewart’s view in its basic features. At the end of the paper I will attempt to outline my own understanding of despair as self-alienation within the broader dialectics of existence in Kierkegaard, using the Hegelian model of dialectics.

Several reasons why social anomie and political alienation may influence ethnocentric attitudes. The compensating role of authoritarian-paranoid beliefs

This article is an attempt to ascertain whether it is possible that a permanent experience of helplessness, senselessness and alienation from socio-political reality leads to an individual having ethnocentric attitudes. The supposition that there is a causal relation between the two phenomena would imply that people who feel lost and disoriented tend to have a strong sense of national identity. The empirical data used in the analyses was taken from a survey conducted among a nationwide representative sample of adult Poles (N=1522). The set of hierarchical regression analyses showed that the relations which were observed can be explained as being the effect of the joint operation of two separate mechanisms. Firstly, this is influenced partly by the fact that growing ethnocentrism and increasing anomie and alienation are common among elderly and poorly-educated people. The second mechanism consist of finding that people who experience feelings of socio-political senselessness and helplessness have a tendency to look for compensation in authoritarian-paranoid worldviews. It would seem that authoritarian-paranoid beliefs can be seen as being a mediator between social anomie and political alienation, on the one hand, and ethnocentric attitudes on the other.

In this article the author deals with the issue of creating an Internet identity, paying particular attention to the profiles created on social networking site – Facebook. The analysis is based on two theoretical foundations, Marxism on the one hand, and on the other – the theory of artificial intelligence which was developed by computer science. Concepts formed on the basis of artificial intelligence help illustrate the form of subjectivity which is created in the network. Drawing on the vision of Marxist dialectics and alienation, the author tries to visualise the interaction occurring between the users and their avatars on Facebook, recently the most popular social networking site.

My paper is concerned with the problem of the self-alienation of a religious person in the light of Slavoj Žižek's idea of the subject. The Slovenian thinker's theory is an example of the much broader stream of the alienational critique of religion, which is rooted in the philosophy of Hegel and represented by such thinkers as Feuerbach, Marx, Nietzsche and Freud. Žižek claims that religious faith makes human existence inauthentic and deceitful. He takes the perspective of Lacanian psychoanalysis and develops his own theory based on Lacan's distinction between the Symbolic, the Real, and the Imaginary. According to Žižek, we face a paradoxical situation in our present culture. On the one hand, deep and „inner” faith is dying. On the other hand, however, faith, far from loosing its power, is gaining even greater control over man and is taking on new forms. One of these forms, which has become popular in our times is the pure external, conformist, cynical, and instrumental form of religious faith. Žižek (inspired by Lacan) analyses this phenomenon using the concept of the subject situated „outside”, namely in the Symbolic. He argues that the contemporary subject, contrary to what may seem to be the case, is still much involved in faith and religion. Moreover, cynical faith is a much greater pitfall than deep faith.

Od alienacji do akceptacji. Antysemityzm - antyjudaizm - antyżydowskość - antysyjonizm

This presentation concerns the problem of the social withdrawal of the Jews in other communities both now and in the past. The life in the diaspora brought about a certain amount of tension conditioned by economic, political, social, moral, national or religious factors. There emerged various attitudes of non-Jews towards the Jews customarily called anti-Semitism, anti-Judaism, anti-Jewishness as well as anti-Zionism. All the aforementioned phenomena have common grounds: such was the price of constructing, protecting, preserving and developing one’s identity in a strange community. There are, however, essential differences between these phenomena and this is usually forgotten. Consequently, any attempt at subsuming all of them under the term ‘anti-Semitism’ is unfounded and unjustifiable. The presentation aims first and foremost at characterising the above phenomena and particularly the differences and similarities between them as this affects their proper understanding and evaluation.

The paper offers a reconstruction of the development of Karl Marx's thought in 1842 - 1844 proceeding from the philosophy of law and social philosophy to political economy and its critique. It puts forward a new interpretation of the categories 'bürgerliche Gesellschaft', 'alienation' and 'alienated labour'. This interpretation shows that the development of Marx's thought did not proceed from 'philosophy' to 'political economy' or from 'humanism' to 'scientism', but from an 'external' to an 'internal' critique of political economy.

The paper focuses on alienated work, a classical sociological concept which attracted a lot of attention. It discusses its roots in Marx’s works, its dimensions, and issues of essentialism and human nature. Against the background of the great variety of approaches to alienated work in the 20th century, attention is paid to systematization and review of main arguments both in theoretical and empirical studies, with the emphasis on the Marxist interpretations. High level of abstraction, difficulty with empirical validation on the one hand and loss of critical power and normativity through use in empirical surveys on the other hand belonged to the most frequent challenges discussed so far. The article explores a possibility how critical social theory could contribute to the revitalization of the concept of alienated work. It focuses on the arguments of Axel Honneth regarding work, including his early critique of Habermas and his later treatment of work within the theory of recognition.

The article is a reflection on conditions of existence of individual and collective, genius and non-genius creative power. Creative power is considered in relation to moral, political, economic, pedagogical and psychological conditions. Do these conditions allow creative potency to develop or rather they suppress it?I also reflect on possible hierarchy of genius: can creative power be more or less genius?

Can the sins of others be mine? The problem of so called others’ sins. In many situations a sin could not possibly have taken place had it not been for a prohibition, an encouragement of others, inappropriate advice, others’ praise or even aid followed by silence, lack of punishment or even acquittal of the sins of others. The mystery of sins of others is the fact that the architects of immense evil may be those who have not previously shown any predisposition or inclination to such atrocities. „The death of man” is the most tragic consequence of sins of others. The present study is an attempt to analyze his phenomenon.
