The autoress' book 'Nomadic Studies: Embodiment and Sexual Difference in Contemporary Feminist Theory' touches upon the most important issues of our contemporary feminist debate, including, inter alia: western epistemology vs. femininity; feminism vs. bioethics; individual issues of European feminism and how the American feminism may affect the theories conceived in Europe. She defends a trans-disciplinary and multidisciplinary methodology of building a female, but also a male, subjectivity in the context of the present time which less and less frequently enables one to refer to the roots whilst more and more frequently requiring from its nomadic dwellers to seek for new methods of constructing their own 'self'. A 'nomadic subject' forms subjectivity being free of any nostalgia for durability, the idea of constancy or permanency being quit. The authoress approaches the option to build feminine subjectivity in political terms, dialogue being deemed its key element. Dialoguing requires a redefinition of what is man in a circumstance where the old definitions prove non-useful, for what is human is re-constructed in the context of global economy, technological revolution, emergence of multicultural societies, or a new social/cultural reality. Her suggestion is that the sexual difference be treated as a positive element of asymmetry between males and females - so that whatever a woman can offer might transform our contemporary policy and the world. Providing that femininity can be defined in a variety of ways.

Does the presentation of the self depend on participants' inferences about the researcher's interests? Participants were asked to complete 'I am...' statements while the researcher's affiliation was manipulated. As expected, participants were more likely to report social aspects of the self (e.g., ethnic identity, party affiliation) when the study was allegedly conducted by the Institute of Political Research than when it was conducted by the Institute of Psychological Research. Thus, participants focused on aspects of the self that they could consider most relevant to the researcher's interest. Theoretical and methodological implications are discussed.

Despite the courageous concept of Western philosophy as causa sui, there is much evidence of a significant exchange of thoughts between Europe and the Orient in the early modern period. In David Hume’s case, the Oriental influence was long ignored, but in recent decades several studies have highlighted significant affinities between Hume’s ideas and those of Buddhism. In what follows, I’ll try to show, rethinking Humean and Buddhist no-self, why A. Gopnik’s “Jesuits hypothesis” is more plausible than the explanation which connects both conceptions via Pyrrhonian skepsis. Regardless of both hypotheses, I offer some arguments in favour of spontaneous convergence with no need for the intercultural transfer of thoughts, and point out some problematic aspects of a thought which promotes (with no good reasons) an impersonal description of our lives above that which is based on our intuitions and first-person perspective characterized by the sense of self and ownership.

IDENTITY AND VALUE. NON-FORMAL ETHICS OF VALUES IN THE THOUGHT OF MAX SCHELER AND CHARLES TAYLOR

In his 1913/1916 publication entitled 'Formalism in Ethics and Non-Formal Ethics of Values', Max Scheler develops the issue of person and value. In 'Ordo amoris' (1916) he presents the missing link in the relation between person and value, and in 'Ressentiment' (1912) he considers the relation in its inverted form. These three works constitute a whole that stresses the functional existence of values and its constitutive role for human identity in its individual and social dimensions. In 'Sources of the Self. The Making of the Modern Identity' (1989), Charles Taylor, going back to the sources of the self, undertakes Scheler's concept of the constitution of identity by values in its individual and social dimensions, giving them new life in the form of values as qualitative differences and their best account articulation. Taylor completes his analysis of values as qualitative differences with hermeneutical encouragement for seeking their sources in a quite theoretical way. Scheler sees the vehicle of values and moral growth in exemplars of the person, which is an another way of thinking about value - not in the terms of an 'eidos', but in the terms of real persons and their non-formal ethics. This paper considers the place of values in this non-formal method.

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.

There have been a considerable number of reactions against scholars who put radical subjectivity at the centre of Kierkegaard’s philosophy. These reactions emphasize the importance of social existence in Kierkegaard’s works. The present paper agrees with these reactions, but it goes one step further by arguing that: once individuality has been established, the individual should, in certain circumstances, cut back on their individuality to become open to others. In this paper, the phrase “forgoing the self” is used as an umbrella term to discuss various forms of this process, e.g., forgetting the self, denying the self.

In the article the author would like to call attention to the question of parrêsia analysed by the French philosopher Michel Foucault. In the late period of his philosophical career Foucault focused on morality and developed very interesting reflections. The author tries to follow the main topics from this period and attempts to explore the concept of parrêsia, telling the truth, and locates it in the context of philosophical investigations about politics and ethics understood as a process of constituting the self, as care for the self.

In the following pages we propose a theory on cognitive systems and the common strategies of perception, which are at the basis of their function. We demonstrate that these strategies are easily seen to be in place in known cognitive systems such as vision and language. Furthermore we show that taking these strategies into consideration implies a new outlook on immune function calling for a new appraisal of the immune system as a cognitive system.

The review paper surveys the struggles on psychology and social science at large around concepts touching upon the self. The survey claims that behind the conceptual chaos one could trace rivaling theories regarding how to reconstruct the authority of one of the most crucial anchoring points of psychology namely personal reference. A detailed analysis is given of the deconstructionist and different narrative approaches. The survey concludes by the claim that the respectful status of the disappearing self has to be reconstructed in order to account for the key role of autobiographic moments and individualized interpretations.

In this article the author presents a theory of personal identity (PI) that appeals both to Lynne Baker's approach and to Antonio Damasio's neurophilosophical theory. He discusses Damasio's theory of self relevant to the problem of PI (from his work The Feeling of What Happens) and Baker's description of first-person phenomena. Her distinction between making and attributing first-person reference and critical remarks related to her conception that have appeared are also pointed out. Finally, taking into account ontogenetic development of a human being, the author sketches a theory of PI according to which PI is determined by a so-called self with a first-person perspective. He uses here Ingarden's notion of a core/coreless object.

The aim of the paper is to compare two concepts of the human being, both related to Christianity, but each rooted in a different philosophical approach. One is represented by a Methodist philosopher from the United States, B. P. Bowne, the other, originating in a Polish Catholic milieu, is represented by the late M. A. Krapiec. An analysis of these concepts of the human being should contribute to the understanding of the consequences that result from accepting either an idealistic approach to the human being (person as a relation) or a realistic approach (person as a substance) although both are to serve the same purpose: to defend the dignity of the human being by showing human transcendence in relation to the material world.

The main aim of the paper is rethinking Descartes’s concept of cogito in the framework of the theory of actions and products and the general theory of human creativity. The final conclusion is that Descartes’s cogito is not a subject but an act. It is the act (or the string of acts) connecting the subject with the object. This conclusion is a bridge between Cartesian methodological skepticism and Brentano’s theory of intentional acts.

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.

There are two passages in Plato’s Apology with questions introduced by a verb relating to shame. In 28b, a representative of the Athenian citizens asks Socrates, if he is not ashamed to follow his philosophical occupation even when it might cost him life. Later, in 29d, it is Socrates who asks an imaginary Athenian, if he is not ashamed to care for things of illusory value and neglect those that are really important. The verb used in these two questions apparently refers to two different notions of shame: the first one is marked by fear of being disregarded by the others, the other one is an outcome of endeavour for an inner coherence. The article maps this process of internalization of shame as a transformation of the shame before others into shame relating to oneself. This change of perspective will be documented via two versions of the tale of Gyges and his magic ring (in Herodotus and in Plato). Herodotus’ Gyges acts as a heteronomous agent moved by the will of the others; the character in Book 2 of Plato’s Republic, on the other hand, is, thanks to the power of a magic ring, autonomous and immune to the gaze of the other but acts unjustly in the end. The Socratic moral agent in this context appears to be Anti-Gyges, determined to act justly with no regard for external approval or its lack. He does not necessarily disregard shame, but his shame is based on an aesthetics of self and on his power to transform his character by means of care of the self.

This article involves a qualitative research undertaken to elucidate how Ukraine's European identity is constructed by Carl Bildt, Sweden's Minister for Foreign Affairs. Specifically, the paper's aim is to identify conceptual metaphors used by Carl Bildt in his political online discourse concerning Ukraine within the timeframe from 1 April 2013 until 1 April 2014. In addition to this objective, the article explores whether or not concepts SELF as the EU and OTHER as non-EU respectively are embedded in conceptual metaphors identified in Bildt's discoursal space involving Ukraine's European identity. Results of the data analysis reveal several types of conceptual metaphors which are present in the corpus of Bildt's online discourse involving Ukraine: "EU as a Path", "EU as a Nurturant Parent", "EU as a House", "Ukraine's Politics towards EU as a Stock Market Crash", "Ukraine's Path to EU as Poland's EU Path" and "The EU Flag as a Symbol of the Better Future", respectively. These conceptual metaphors seem to be exacerbated by the presence of the concept SELF.

The article presents two main philosophical approaches to the problem of intersubjectivity. The first, which may be called ethical transcendentalism, has to do with metaphysical problems involving the origin and the very possibility of the experience of another self. The second approach refers to issues related to the epistemological dimension. Corresponding to these contexts we find two senses of intersubjectivity. The article analyses these two approaches and points out the difficulties involved in applying the concept of intersubjectivity as construed in ethical transcendentalism to the empirical self.

It is said that transcendental phenomenology faces an unavoidable aporia, according to which it is perfectly justified to accept the claim that the transcendental ego constitutes the sense of all external being, including other subjects, as well as the claim that other subjects constitute the sense of all external objects, since they are a community of transcendental egos. The essence of the aporia is that it is impossible to accept both of these claims if one accepts the conceptual schema of transcendental phenomenology. In the article, I present an interpretation of transcendental phenomenology which allows one to avoid such consequences. Firstly, the static theory of intersubjectivity presented in Ideas of Pure Phenomenology and Carthesian Meditations is reconstructed and analyzed. Attention is devoted to the issues of phenomenological reduction and constitution of sense. Afterwards, it is argued that one should distinguish two kinds of constitutive processes: one understood as an activity of the sole transcendental ego (self), and the second one as an activity of the community of transcendental egos. It is claimed that both processes are mutually connected. Moreover, it seems that the second kind of constitution is metaphysically prior then the former one. This claim will allow one to overcome solipsistic interpretations of transcendental phenomenology and to overcome the aporia presented.

The goal of the paper is to explain the rupture in the line of Slovak war prose between the year 1945 and February 1948, when Socialist Realism was pronounced the only method of artistic production. The prospects of ´brighter tomorrows´ cast black light back on the existential/existentialist line. The methodical assumption is the comparative analysis of several writers´ productions, while Leopold Lahola is seen as the key one. His prose is interpreted here in the context of the work of contemporary Jewish writers as well as non-Jewish authors such as the Italian Cesare Pavese. At the same time the study specifies theoretically the changes of accents of configurations of the author and the self within the pluralistic poetics of the 1940s. It is supported by several layers of Slovak reception of philosophical Existentialism. The period of liberalisation of the 1960s revived the interest in this movement. The key concept of ´situation´ was still (or again) seen at the end of the decade as artificial, too theoretical (Viliam Marčok). Also, existential referentiality was considered to be ideologically shaky. This card had to be reckoned with and it was by Jozef Felix who, when trying to legitimize the work of “foreign” Lahola, claimed it was due to the anxiety resulting from the cruel war experience and he distanced it (more Lahola himself) from Existentialism. The choice of double identity of assumptions made it possible. In order to verify the reliability of this statement, the author of the paper compared Lahola´s work with both the parallel line of documentary prose (Alfréd Wetzler) and Cesare Pavese´s existential diary records of his life. One of them became the motto of Lahola´s collection of short stories Posledná vec/The Last Thing. Several poet-logical and ideological parallels between Lahola and Pavese´s work have been identified.

The model of the universe, offered by K.Popper, is discussed, which is represented by the generically uniform 'three worlds'. 'World 1' is the world of physical phenomena at micro, macro and mega levels. 'World 2' is the world of mental, or psychic, conditions, that is, subjective conditions of the consciousness, when each human builds his/her specific world and inhabits therein, and the diversity of personal ideas and beliefs raises the problem of mutual understanding. 'World 3' is the world of the objective content of thought and its products (problems, hypotheses, theories, projects etc.); the world of collective knowledge, overcoming the enmity of subjective worlds and individual constraints. 'World 3' contains 'self' as a self-conscious consciousness, e.g. the consciousness capable to transcend from the psycho-physic world level of 'world 2' to 'word 3', the consciousness as the highest attributive characteristic of the matter which in its spontaneous emergent self-development becomes really predisposed to self-comprehension. Not denying the organic link of the human spirituality with brain processes, K.Popper insists on the reality of 'self' as the set of human thoughts, feelings, intellectual inclinations, emotional experiences, hopes and distresses, happiness and grief. 'Self' is a human per se. Views of K.Popper are compared with ones of Hegel, Frege, Heidegger. In conclusion, a general appraisal of K.Popper's conceptions is given.
