The thesis of this paper is that Polish humanities exists and is doing well in institutional sense but at the same time it has no social impact. That being so, on one hand we have dozens if not hundreds of units in which thousands of academics work. On the other hand we observe a limited external influence of these institutions and their employees. This impressive institutional and at the same time personal development seems to ignore external goals and functions or undervalue them in comparison to the institutions’ own development and functioning. There are many reasons for this, and not only academic institutions themselves should be blamed for it. It can be claimed that the modern world seems to see humanities as something inimportant, and it happens due to various conditions. One can see a parallel between the satae of the humanities and the state of the culture in general with the whole socio-cultural context, including the humanities. The article consists of five parts. The first one is about the reasons of the humanities institutional development. In the second part, I refer to the character of social sciences and humanities. In the third part, I mention the motivation to practice them. The fourth part deals with external conditions of practicing social sciences and humanities, and the fifth with their important tasks.

Humanitarian science many times had to admit that the Past would prove a treacherous ground indeed to be taken for granted. It can easily slide either under the pressure of new facts or reshuffle of known facts or due to a political regime change. The first-person documentary literature plays an important role in revising the Past. Until recently it was considered to be outside the mainstream study, but nowadays it gets more and more attention. In the absence of unified concept as to what the first-person documentary literature is and if it actually can be considered as literature at all, many local theories burst out. The first-person documentary literature offers various points of view on the course of historical events. In the same time it can be used to verify them since there is an ethical or metaphysical reflection to it.

The article is a discussion on Humanistic world, a Bogdan Suchodolski’s text, which was published in “The Pedagogical Quarterly” in 1985. The author presents Suchodolski’s concept of humanistic world, which is understood as the world of human creativity and human activity in philosophy, art, science, technology, work; and world which is rich in true, deep and sincere relationships. The second concept analysed in the article is the concept of humanistic education as a preparation for a fulfilled human life, filled with humanistic values. The author also stresses the importance of Professor Suchodolski's theses in the context of a currently widely proclaimed crisis of the humanities.

The topic of the article is the role of the mathematical education in the humanistic education (history, history of literature and art etc.). The author underlines the meaning understanding as the fundamental notion of the humanities. The lack of the understanding perspective leads the humanistic education to the superficial knowledge of facts and dates, always incomplete and not very useful for the grasping of the specific world of the human thinking and motivation. Mathematics, as the only pure formal subject in the Polish school educational program (there is no classes in logic in these schools), can provide the student at least with the three important abilities. Namely, mathematics education improves the imagination of the school-boys and girls (starting with the simple summing up and multiplication operations), deduction (as opposite to funding our convictions only on the opinions) and integrity of the knowledge (it is impossible to comprehend the more advanced mathematics theses with no knowledge of the other, more fundamental parts of it; much the same it is impossible e. g. to comprehend the essence of the historical processes without knowledge of the all important elements of them). However, what is needed in the school program in mathematics is some information about the more advanced mathematical theories and its applications to the other kinds of science (mathematics in cosmology, fractal theory, topology), These theories cannot be presented completely on this stage of education, yet can improve the imagination of the young men and help them to recognize the meaning of the mathematics for the understanding of the whole world, its structure and dynamism.

The paper follows the numerous debates on the importance of philology that have started to emerge in the 1980s, beginning from Paul de Man’s essay Return to Philology. The assumption is that despite obvious devaluation of its importance and institutional ruination, philology survives precisely because the idea of a return is inherent in it. However, as the return is in this context grasped as the return of the repressed, it is claimed that philology survives as a paradoxical discipline whose epistemological power seeks to be represented by the figure of a specter and within hauntology, as Derrida introduced it in his works. It is argued that philology today draws strength precisely from its openness to disciplinary hybridity, institutional uncertainty, and continuous rethinking of its own social role. In conclusion, the work of Vatroslav Jagić, one of the greatest Croatian philologists and world-renowned representative of Slavic philology, whose understanding of the task of philology relates to the theses presented in the paper, is included in the discussion and introduced in the dialogue.

In his article, the author considers complaining as the typical feature of Polish cultural life. He compares the recent situation in Polish culture (i.e. complains about displacement of the classic, paper books by the e-books, Internet and other “new media”) with historical data, concerning i.e. the fear of the displacement of the manuscript by spreading all around invention of printing. According to the author, this fears were false because the manuscript played important role in Polish “underground” of the cultural and political life even in the tweentieth century. Then he refers to the current scientific publications, stating that (despite all recent fears) monographs, dissertations and other humane papers are progressively more and more vast. Unfortunately this vast size does not mix with the accurateness of the data which they contain and with the editorial strictness of these publications. For instance, formal requirements of the publication of the thesis before achieving scientific degree precludes candidates from incorporating critical remarks of the fellow scientists in the final publication. This yields a large number of editorial mistakes and inconsistencies in humane publications. The author prefers coherent, substantive publications, which are free from any factual or editorial mistakes – and that`s his advice for Polish humanists.

The article presents the legal concept of orphan works in the context of the Polish Law on Copyright and its social and cultural impact on the effectiveness of scientific research, especially in the field of humanities. The purpose of introducing legislative solutions relating to orphan works is to save the cultural heritage from oblivion, and also to restore the continuity of scientific research. The article also raises the question of the contemporary idea of Open Access, which is considered as another plane for new humanities — as a place of common ground to exchange knowledge without barriers.

As a young teacher and researcher, the prospective of introducing western philosophical themes to a public of students from a non-western country, came in 2016 as a once-in-a lifetime opportunity, which I met with great enthusiasm. However, as in any situation involving pre-conceived expectations, facing and dealing with the real situation on the ground opens up a pathway for a closer understanding of both the new culture explored, a perception of one’s own limits and the willingness to overcome them. The following lines are intended to cover the way my approach to teaching to a Chinese public has evolved from pre-conceptions and empty enthusiasm to an attitude of pedagogical creativity in identifying and presenting the key topics that would attract my students’ attention. As I will show, students’ expectations were to approach the western ideas not directly, but via a more complex process of being acquainted with the major historical and cultural movements in Europe and the western world. This meant the involvement in the teaching process of a wider number of elements taken not only from philosophy but from other humanistic disciplines.

The aim of this articole is to discover traces of humanitas in late antique and mediaval literature. Starting from the classic meaning of this notion, the paper finds three meaningful episodes: the controversy between Ambrosius and Symmachus about the Altar of Victory, the Dialogue of a Philosopher with a Jew and a Christian by Peter Abelard and the spread of the Life of Balaam and Josaphat. Through these examples, the article builds a new idea of humanitas, free from historical restricion, a blend of literary passion, acceptance of diversity and multiculturalism.

The article aims to describe the conceptualization of pandemic discourse taking place in humanistic reflection. The author analyzes the statements of Giorgio Agamben, Niall Ferguson, Ivan Krastev, Jean Luc Nancy, Slavoj Žižek, Piotr Augustyniak, Inga Iwasiów and Tomasz Stawiszyński. He describes the trends appearing in their texts regarding the assessment of the causes of the pandemic and forecasts its further consequences, and also briefly analyzes the ways of describing it. Finally, the author formulates conclusions about the humanities – pessimistic in terms of its diagnostic and prognostic capabilities – and poses questions about its current status and potential.

As a result of the transformations of the higher education system, there began a search for objective measures, making it possible to compare different higher education institutions (in terms of their academic staff, research outcomes documented in publications, professional careers of university graduates and the like). It prompted the academic circles to reflect on the actions undertaken by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, in particular those pertaining to the National Qualification Framework. Academic disciplines differ from one another in terms of their research methods, which is why all attempts at a parametrization, implementation of quantitative indices to evaluate representatives of the humanities, mathematical algorithms or taxonomy as means enabling a “fair” assessment of all academic teachers regardless of the discipline they represent, appear to be worthless.

The author is looking for traces of subjectivity in the scientific texts of an eminent Polish linguist. As the determinants of individual style, she recognizes certificates of reading (not only what the author reads but also how he reads), recognizing that the figures of the intertextual relationship (references, quotations, allusions, polemics) allows one to define the personality of the subject. She is interested in the plane of reflection, which manifests itself in the attitude of the scholar to the values of contemporary culture, to the change in the ideals of science, to the place and tasks of the choices of humanists and scholars (methodology, issues, forms of expression). She also finds features of individuality in the preferences of the author in the structure of his speech – composition, construction, syntax, lexis.
