In this paper the author surveys the treatment of morphology in ancient Roman grammars and place it on the one hand in the context of the three-way typology of morphological models, on the other hand in the context of the historiography of morphology, especially in Humanistic grammars of Hungarian dating from the 16-17th centuries. He presents the modern arguments for the ancient 'unmorphological' analysis of paradigms. He also looks at the way morphological structure is gradually recognised in the early, Latin-inspired grammars of Hungarian.

In this paper two-part paper the author first deals with the correlation between the subject and perspective of sociology, and determine the aspects of the classification of sociological perspectives. Then he draws up the types of sociological perspectives and points out the main theories and theoretical directions representing different perspectives. The sociological perspective is a system of notions referring to the basic questions of sociology, which basically determines the whole of the theoretical concepts and correlations of sociology. In order to draw up the typical perspectives emerging in sociological theory, he defines the basic correlations and questions of sociology. he distinguishes between the holist and the individualist perspectives on the level of overall perspectives, from the point of view of the level of factors determining social phenomena. He makes a distinction between symbolist and factualist perspectives from the point of view of the nature of factors determining social phenomena, On the level of the main perspectives, he makes a distinction between normativist, structuralist, creativist and rationalist perspectives.

The author tackles the problem of the new quality of pedagogy in postmodern world. The knowledge of upbringing and education as a collection of historically, socially and politically changing research approaches, that has been multi-paradigmatic for many years, is created partly in a cumulative way, partly as a dialogue, both evolutionarily and revolutionarily. Scientists later reconstructing pedagogical theories or notions create them anew, to a certain extent, by injecting them with the modern point of view, which can include some part of past cognitive perspective, at the same time redefining it by new interpretation. In confrontation with various methodologies, be they complementary, contradictory or speaking with one another, historical continuity involves at the same time certain historical incontinuity. Individual schools, doctrines, movements or trends in pedagogy are described and interpreted by researchers in such different ways that their value is influenced not only by the clear rule of presentation, but also by unavoidable arbitrariness of selection and organisation of data, selection of theories, their description and assessment. Thus, the classification of trends in pedagogical thought stems from the need to seize the diversity of thought and methods of its justification and to form a structure (hierarchical - vertical or non-hierarchical - horizontal), so they can become some sort of mental communication with the world, clarify the situation of axionormative diversity in pedagogy, emphasize the sense of scientific achievements, evoke astonishment or preserve the sense of right choices.

Lately, scientists have been written a lot about paradigm in their articles. The tendency to quote a paradigm is in pedagogic, too. It is a question: if we don't try to find a truth in our research? The author try to show the tendency for example investigations refer to sex. In conclusion of the article it is reflection that paradigm is only a way to search for a truth.

The aim of the article is to provide an outline of the conception of science reduced to a cultural spectacle. The essential contexts for the considerations have been the definitions of paradigm given by T.S. Kuhn and Z. Kwiecinski. With reference to them, seven phases of development/transformation of a paradigm will be presented, after which its scientific and mythical references related to technology, various forms and functions of a ritual as well as the process of ritualization will be mentioned. As a result of the information gathered here, we shall come to a conclusion which may suggest that the paradigm of science is a social-cultural spectacle. This, in turn, will allow us to proceed to an example related to education, to the paradigm of education, and explain the difference; expressed in the title of the article; between oppression and grip of education. Finally, the connection between the technology of ritualization, politics and power will be discussed, and information about paradigm will be compiled in points.

An account about the notion of paradigm is given, with emphasis on contributions from T.Kuhn. The notion of paradigm and paradigmal approach have become widely used across scientific and non-scientific knowledge, being in a way abused, mistreated and devalued, and losing its meaning. Yet, its mass-scale uses and dissemination provide an indication of new tendencies in the development of scientific knowledge. The conception of categorical synthesis, developed by V.L.Khramova, allows for concretizing the meaning of paradigmal approach and method with respect to physics in late 19th - early 20th century. V.L.Khramova could find that the critical role in creating quantum and relativist paradigm resulted from rethinking its main categories on the basis of the adopted gnoseological principle rather than from empirical evidence accumulated by physics in that period. Categorical synthesis was a structuring and synthesizing factor in creating a scientific theory. Categorical structure and relations between elements of a paradigm make it self-identical, clear-cut and distinguished from other paradigms, fulfill explicative and determining functions in further development of scientific knowledge. Change of scientific paradigms is based on rethinking the nature of reality, which touches upon its logical and gnoseological grounds. In view of this, change of scientific paradigms in physics in late 19th - early 20th century is considered as a process of transformation of categorical structures and their synthesis on the way from classical physics to neoclassical one.

In this article, the author reconstructs the particular sense attributed in the Spencer’s functionalism to notions such as function, need, subject of a function and objective consequences. He shows a fundamental difference between this concept and twentieth-century functional theories in sociology. Although they all use the same terms, they give them a remarkably different meaning. Change made by Durkheim in the meaning of the term „function” is of fundamental importance: for Spencer the word “function” meant a specific activity (action, work), but it came to mean the result of an influence. The author challenges the way in which the founding role in the twentieth-century’s functional paradigm is attributed to Spencer. At the same time, he points to theoretical import of the original concept of Spencer in relation to the functional approach as modified by Durkheim.

The study points at the current times, when all people have been struggling with the problems of the socialeconomic crisis; it addresses a highly topical theme, which is the issue of applying the concept of sustainable development. The aim is to obtain information about the level of internal communication and human resources management within the addressed medium-sized companies, and whether Corporate Social Responsibility with a welfare focus is also a part of the corporate culture and corporate strategy. It is necessary to point out the fact that the development of the staff is not only linked to the notion of economic growth, but needs to be directed towards the achievement of important social objectives, such as, for example, improving quality of life (both private and professional), enhancing opportunities for better education, health, etc. An important role is also played by new trends in this area, which include new types of consumers focused on changing their quality of work and personal lives, known under the expressions LOHAS (Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability) or CSV – Creating Shared Value. At present, the fundamental problem is effective internal communication, which serves to handle vast amounts of everyday information, commands and tasks shared by all company employees. In-house communication should ensure regular informedness and the satisfaction of workers in the company, and creates a sense of trust and interest in them. However, the way it is set up in an organisation is extremely important; otherwise it can bring the opposite effect. This requires an understanding of the importance of internal communication and its potential for growing business performance, but also for the practical application of internal communication in the processes of management, including Corporate Social Responsibility.

The author of the article uses Thomas S. Kuhn’s theory of scientific revolutions to analyse media revolutions. She compares various ideas of social communication development to such beliefs questioned by Kuhn as the cumulative character of science and the purposefulness of scientific progress. The author presents a possible interpretation of the notion of paradigm in the context of communication, and uses the history of book culture to depict the functionality and problems related to a particular system of communication and the beginning of a crisis. From a number of communication tools aspiring to establish a new paradigm system, she selects computer technology as the one that fulfils the relevant conditions to the greatest extent. Referring to relevant excerpts of Kuhn’s work, she explains which factors may determine the success of a media revolution.

The article focuses on the possibility of the cultivation of biology inspired by the work of biologist A. Portmann. Insight into the problem is to some extent limited to the Czech language area, where Portmann's ideas are relatively well established. The paper analyses the causes of latent tension between so-called Darwinists and Portmannists. There are a lot of misunderstandings at this point. First of all, it must be considered that Portmann didn't disregard Darwin's theory. The aim of the article is to show that Portmann's ideas transcend a traditional Darwinian reduction of a life form to adaptive function. Divergence of these schools of thought comes from different opinions on the nature of science. The paper shows how dissimilarities of aims and means of biological exploration lead to different conclusions about living creatures. For research growing out of Portmann's ideas, it is necessary not to consider Darwinism as a competitor, but as a thought-provoking partner for a dialogue.

The aim of this paper is to provide the analysis of the concept of paradigm and its meaning to management studies. The author uses the current situation in management studies as a starting point for discussing: the notion of paradigm and highlight its two types prominent in Kuhn's theory; the structure of disciplinary matrix - the paradigm in a broad sense, plus the paradigm in a more special meaning (exemplar); Kuhn's concept of scientific communities and development of science. Some recommendations about the future development of management studies are made.

The aim of this paper is a vivid capture of the paradox phenomenon: promotion of the mimicking of the Soviet example, largely on political grounds, was most massively demonstrated in the 1950s and during the “normalisation” period , which had a largely negative impact upon national culture life. However, the situation turned in the 1980s. The socio-political development in the Soviet Union ushered in reform endeavours and it opened up to outstanding culture activity. Czechoslovak power structures did not know how to react to a new situation. Fascinating regrouping in the polarisation of formal culture and dissent takes place, however, a sweeping change in the social climate and the thawing of souls appears to be a slow process. In the retrospect, the authoress probes into the issue, and attempts to analyse the reception of Soviet theatrical productions and drama texts in Slovak theatre and in art schooling of the latter half of the 1980s.

The paper presents a compilation of the current knowledge on the so called ‘Blatnica deposit’ and its individual components, extended by a series of the author ś own studies dedicated particularly to the gilded set of bronze fittings. The article is divided into two main parts: the first one presents a more focused perspective on the issue and provides all the necessary pieces of information about each part of the deposit together with respective chronological and stylistic findings. The second part, on the other hand, introduces a broader perspective, embedding the history of the deposit and studies on it in the methodological context proposed by Thomas S. Kuhn. Based on the Kuhnian model of science and the concept of paradigm the aouthor has analysed and then decomposed the so called Blatnica-Mikulčice Horizon concept that proved to be based, at best, on some misunderstandings or, at worst, on a hoax. Detailed typological and stylistic analyses of these items became a starting point for re-evaluation of their chronology and led him to draw a conclusion that the youngest components of the deposit cannot be older than the second third of the 9th century. Both the archive query and the analysis of archaeological sources seem to disprove arguments used to support the hypothesis that the ‘Blatnica collection’ served as equipment of a nobleman grave. Most probably it was only a loose collection of relics co­ming from different and so far unknown sources, later transferred in bulk to the museum. Therefore it seems reasonable to conclude that the source value of the ‘Blatnica relics’ has long been overestimated and in any case should no longer serve as a chronological benchmark for other archaeological materials.

The aim of the article is to explicate Polanyi's idea of science in aspect of its origins, i.e. criticism of Marxist policy of planning in science followed by defence of scientific freedom in initiating and conducting research independently of any extraneous pressure. The first part of the article contains reconstruction of Polanyi's interpretation of Marxist idea of science that denies a key distinction between pure and applied science, reconstructed in the second part. Further two parts describe Polanyi's criticism of planning in science and expound his idea of scientific freedom. Part five consists in synthetic reconstruction of his notion of science in its four dimensions - objective (verbal and non-verbal), personal, habitual and social.

A number of secularization 'paradigms' have been developed by sociologists and religionists. Each of them, however, covers only a part of this fully almost ungraspable social process because they derive from different points of viewing religion. From these heterogeneous secularization paradigms or concepts obviously follows that particularly in the 19th century, mostly between the 1848/49 Revolution and the First World War, this was not an easy, unambiguous or straight process. Secularization was rather a sort of struggle between the supporters of different opinions, such as the liberals and the ultramontane Catholics. Obviously, the 'results' of secularization largely differed, as in Europe very different forms of State-to-Church relations were chosen. As a result, a wide range of intellectual macroanalytical (sociological) legacy of the secularization process is available. Therefore, the specific course of the process cannot be ignored, and neither can be the fact that religious experiencing, organizing and thinking have not disappeared yet - and probably will never disappear - from the modern and postmodern world, although due to the growing significance of rational roles in society and the economization of everyday life they have largely withdrawn from the public space, or from the regular - both real and symbolic - content of that space. The struggle for power between the State and the Church in Christian-Jewish communities ended a long time ago and no one will probably dare to question the victory of the State (States) over the Church in the public space. This has been primarily achieved owing to the antiauthoritarian feelings of the emancipated, better educated and more mobile society, and also owing to the Church (Catholic in this country) itself. However, the costs of that victory will remain an onerous question forever.

This study deals with the problem of falling of so-called old paradigm, the paradigm of multiculturalism. Firstly, we turn our attention to the actual and, surprisingly enough, political rejection of multiculturalism. Recently, many European countries have faced various problems with their integration policies. Despite the large number of studies on the race, as well as a number of European and international documents and declarations against racism, a paradoxical phenomenon appeared: the concept of race was restored as a “scientific fact”. Although the word race was not explicitly mentioned, the concept of ethnicity offered extensive strategic support for so-called “backward groups”. Humanistic paradigm of legal equality has been replaced by the paradigm of ethnic or racial policies, i.e. policies of collective identity. As it turned out, these policies have failed. The goal of humanistic paradigm was to get rid of the word race´s false scientific aura. Humanistic paradigm as a meta-paradigm has accepted the existence of biological differences among individuals and human populations, but there was no need to take them into account when defending its legitimacy or promoting its ideal. We assert that these problems stem from useless attempts at defending “scientifically” human equality which, however, is not based on scientific evidence, but rather on the ideal of universal equality built up on pillars such as the Christian heritage, western law, and values represented by the human beings’ capability of suffering.

The text takes up an issue of deconstruction of paradigmatic versions of 'colonized Pole' and 'bad German', which has been established in Polish literature and social discourse, especially during the period of the Partitions of Poland and the Second World War. It meant the development of the 'hard' model of Polish patriotism, which started to collapse during the period of the 'Solidarity' emigration. Rudnicki and Zaluski are writers, who found themselves in German together with this influx. Their texts take up the discussion with the paradigms of both Germaness and Polishness in their traditional versions, trying to find levels (apatriotic discourse, language, existence), which could weaken difficult historical experiences.
