The aim of my article is to portray the present-day state of the idea of progress, on the basis of futurologists’ credo. The article has a polemical character, voicing the issue in the context of the prevailing paradigm which treats the idea of progress as an anachronistic relic of the past, not responding to the present. It states that the idea of progress is permanently present in reality and still plays an extraordinarily fundamental, i.e. leading, role. Nevertheless, the idea is much more complicated nowadays than at the time of its former victory in the age of the Enlightenment. The contemporary idea of progress lacks naivety, and its character is multidimensional and ambivalent. The idea of progress experienced its most serious crisis in the twentieth century; not only was its development hampered but the crucial components of the idea were questioned. Fewer and fewer intellectuals had the courage to evoke progress. It can be taken for granted that the disbelief in progress has risen up to the rank of a new paradigm. Despite this conviction, there are philosophers, politicians, economists and businessmen who create new shapes of the idea of progress and build its new definition in the context of the collapse of its previous shapes. One of the groups proposing a new approach to the concept of progress is the group of futurologists. In this article we ipso facto recover the idea of the futurologist, defining in such a way a researcher who comprehensively, systematically, rationally and professionally goes back in his or her memory and examines the present time in order to track down predominant trends, to interpret their sense and to set a prognosis of the future against the background of them. Futurologists whose work is analyzed in this article have different approaches to the idea of progress. The comparison of their concepts allows one to avoid a unilateral approach and to create a comprehensive image of the idea of progress in its current shape. Among the most important futurologists, there are such names as: Alvin Toffler (together with his spouse Heidi), Francis Fukuyama, Edward Luttwak, George Ritzer, George and Michio Kaku.

In this paper the author defends the rejection of fatalism about the past by showing that there are possible circumstances in which it would be rational to attempt to bring about by our decisions and actions a necessary and sufficient condition, other things being equal, for something which we see as favourable to have occurred in the past. The examples he puts forward are analogous to our attempts to bring about the occurrence of future events, and demonstrate the symmetry between the past and the future in this respect.

The paper presents a finding of new kind of the temporal framing effect, which is applied to a monetary saving proposition. Based on our previous assumption about the multiple cognitive representations of time flow (Polunin, 2009, 2011, 2013), two temporal processes were assumed - situational and propositional time flow. Each of these temporal processes has specific features, and differently impacts the evaluation of money proposed for saving. Subjects made decisions on a monetary saving proposition in two experiments. Despite the equal distance to the beginning of the saving possibility and the equality of the saving amounts a temporal framing effect arises. The subjects made significantly different decisions depending on whether a situational or a propositional time flow was activated. The first one induces a slow decline of positive responses to a saving proposition while the second one leads to a strong loss of attractiveness of a saving proposition.

DAS “DING” ALS INDIKATOR DER ZUKUNFT

This essay focuses on Rainer Maria Rilke´s preoccupation with things, a new interest which goes back to his stay in Paris and his contact with the sculptor Rodin, and puts it into a wider context. Baudelaire and the literature of the beginning of the 20th century as well as philosophers like Heidegger showed a deep interest in things and discovered their vital relationship with man. Consequently, Rilke developed a new concept of things based on his belief that things contain a more fully intensity of life and thought than anything else in the collection of poems Neue Gedichte (1906/07). Accordingly, the things are continuously changing and passing from one state to another and thus become an indicator of what is to come, of future.

The authoress of the article analyses the content of the Integrated Strategy for the Development of Rural Areas with the purpose of learning about the vision of development and preferred directions of changes in rural areas indicated by communities participating in the pilot programme LEADER+. The authoress discusses the rank and scale of problems covered by the analysed documents and tries to find an answer to the question about the types of strategies - active and passive, planned to be launched by rural inhabitants. A passive strategy can be seen in this context as actions undertaken by the inhabitants of rural areas to overcome their own weaknesses (weak points), whereas an active strategy can be perceived as maximisation of development opportunities (strong points).

The purpose of this paper is to present a new paradigm and an innovative technology for thinking about the future. The concept of time synchronization is introduced as a technology to improve individual competency for balancing the continuous construction of reinterpreted pasts, presents and futures in order to cope with the acceleration of change, complexity, and uncertainty. This new paradigm is driven by recognition of three factors: 1) Humans are both conservative and novelty generating. 2) Novelty is a key factor of life and humans address novelty through pattern-evolving creativity. 3) Reality is defined through the unique ability of humans to anticipate and define experience in terms of pattern and category. This article asserts that rapidly expanding human plurality and novelty require new models concerning relationships of past, present, and future. Such models should adequately address the rapidly changing and more complex conditions in which they are constructed and deconstructed, including the expanding opportunities that accompany them.

The main objective of this following paper is to present the Portuguese future tenses together with their Polish equivalents. On the basis of the examples taken from Vergilio Ferreira’s novel Para Sempre, we are trying to describe the main functions of the future tenses. In Portuguese, the future can be expressed by different forms of the verb: simple and complex ones. In our work, we describe the use of imperfeito tense, the periphrastic verbal structures and the future simple tense. Not only do we analyze the variety of different grammatical tenses but we also explain the intricacies of aspect and modality (expressing the uncertainty, wish, probability or obligation). It is important to notice that in Polish, some future forms in Portuguese are replaced by the past forms or by the subjunctive.

On the backdrop of increasing anxieties about the state of the world and its future found among by scholars and grassroots alike, this article explores young people’s narratives of the future, paying particular attention to dominant temporal structures through which the young people frame their expectations and imagine their lives to come. The article builds on research with young Czechs in three different regions of the country, carried out in the years 2007–2009 and 2014–2016. In addition it incorporates elements from the author ś former work on post-socialist transformations in rural Czech Republic. Drawing on anthropological debates about time, agency and social change and on recent scholarship on nostalgia, he argues for the necessity of a diversified understanding of temporality when analysing narrations of both lived lives and future visions; linear and reproductive temporalities appear to co-exist with conceptions of time as accelerated, incoherent and unpredictable. Further, he argues that time or temporality is not just something which people are subject to; it also involves agency. This implies that well-established temporal frameworks can be used to narrate expectations for the future, or that different temporal frameworks can be strategically combined to manage both the present and the future.

The paper consists of two parts. The first one presents research on trends, concerning the latest titles by famous producers which are representative of the cRPG subgenre and enjoy a superb reception among players. The second part of the article justifies searching for those works among texts of culture that may indicate the direction of the development of not only the games them-selves but also of the whole of contemporary civilisation. An example of such a work is Linia oporu (Line of Resistance) by Jacek Dukaj and this piece is the subject of the analysis.

This article addresses a debate in Descartes scholarship over the mind-dependence or -independence of time by turning to Merleau-Ponty’s Nature and The Visible and the Invisible. In doing so, it shows that both sides of the debate ignore that time for Descartes is a measure of duration in general. The consequences to remembering what time is are that the future is shown to be the invisible of an intertwining of past and future, and that historicity is the invisible of God.

This chapter explores the relationship between the construction of modern self and the social usage of flat image (drawing, photographic picture, painting). Through the long twenty century (from about 1890 up to 2010) in what is today the Democratic Republic of the Congo, individuals produced and shared with others images conveying the knowledge about the new world intruding into local realities. Initially in rural setting, later in cities, image helped people to share with other individual experience but also to create a space where memories about the past can be confronted with social knowledge and integrated into it. Drawings on rural hut walls, paintings on canvas hanged in an urban house living room or images painted as advertisement on walls of shops mediated between individual perception and personal memory on one side and social knowledge on the other. For a century, at the times of discontinuous emergence of the modern self, those images helped to rebuild a social community deprived by colonial and postcolonial self of political rights. The last section of the chapter explores photography by Sammy Baloji for whom image is the tool to remake his society, to reach to the past in order to restore youth’s capacity to build a future denied to them by the present day society.

This article presents the results of research carried out among a group of young adults from foster families and their peers from natural families. The main focus of the research was comparing the factors influencing young people's adaptation. Both groups of young adults, from foster families as well as from natural ones, were compared in relation to creating own aims and own paths of development. The changes in the sphere of the evaluation of future events among young adults from foster families are of major importance for social optimization of their life. The result of the research may bear great significance for social prevention, according to which new ways of optimizing the developmental path for people threatened by social exclusion are searched for. At the same time it may also facilitate searching for and defining the best ways of changing young adults' temporal perspective.

The present study deals with temporal processes which are essential for decision making in topical mental account (Thaler, 1999). The experiment focuses on temporal processes (zero-probability barrier and aging of proposition) in future time mode. It was found that the decision outcome is sensitive to both of the above. The results revealed a classical framing effect (Kahneman, Tversky, 1984) for the present and future time modes. The elimination of the framing effect for the past time mode (Polunin, 2009) was replicated and it was also found for the future time mode when aging predefines a decision outcome. The current results and the temporal processes described earlier (Polunin, 2009) provide the reasoning for an introduction of multiple temporal processes influencing a decision outcome in topical mental account.

Basically it is not possible to fully understand to the Levinas' ethical axioms without the comprehension of his time scheme. This is to be defended here as it is important to show the time awareness apparent in its relationship to the infinity which is essentially preconditioned by the death. The term time does not necessarily include the 'conatus essendi', however, especially the ontological excess 'extra sui' is present. The death and the nihility are not the last possible instances of the question of the being; on the contrary, they are the essential conditions for the constitution of the time. It is not possible for the time to be realized without the approach of the Other's future, within the hypostatic isolation of the subject. It is on the background of the neutrality that the subjectivity arises. The time is not the question of subjectivity. The presence of the existing essentially relates to the duration. The nihility is a destructive moment of the duration and it lies in the detachedness of the present moments. In this sense the sociability - the space of time - is actually 'contra tempus'.
