Self-deception is classified as the one of the decision-making errors which impede making reasonable decisions. The efficiency of the financial market is associated with the belief that all the participants of the market behave reasonably. They maximise their utility and are able to process all incoming information in the correct way. Considering the fact that financial market anomalies happen, it should be considered that the efficiency of this market is a specific situation in which it may be found. In this work, the research results of the conducted experiment were described. The hypothesis was studied that persons of a higher financial status are more likely to undertake more risky financial decisions which may result in obtaining higher collected financial funds. As a result of the conducted experiment the working hypothesis was confirmed. Due to self-deception consisting in strong identification with the chosen status in the game, strengthened with their own convictions regarding the behaviour of particular professional group representatives, persons with a higher status showed a much greater tendency to risk than persons with a lower status.

A positive vision of human nature provides for fundamental normative consideration of the principle of humanity. Hence, the construction of psychological barrier turning the deprivation of life of other members of our species into an uneasy task. Nevertheless, the soldiers limited by the principles of precaution and proportionality are ordered to kill. An appropriate psychological mechanism of self-deception helps human beings to better adopt to the acts contrary to our nature. Together with war propaganda they consist of useful tools for efficient military commanders but also war criminals. In this essay, the author refers to the book by David Livingstone Smith and tries to connect issues of psychology, law of armed conflict and political science in the context of the interpretation of the principles of humanity and the modern vision of warfare. The essay focuses on the linguistic analysis of selected fragments of international law and of public statements on methods of warfare. The main goal is to illustrate the methods of dehumanization of the enemy, through dehumanization, demonization and bestialization of human being. In the end, the author calls for a similar reflection in the context of the ongoing discussion about ongoing robotization of battlefield.

Ingmar Bergman's novel, The Best Intentions, is about the life and love of his parents. In transforming his parents into the characters, Henrik and Anna, Bergman offers a compelling analysis of the driving forces behind their real-life actions and choices. The paper draws from the work of the Danish philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard, to demonstrate the way that Bergman's analysis is connected to a particular understanding of the dynamics of the self. I ask: how and why are Bergman's two characters led to deception and self-deception during the most critical years of their lives? Bergman's intuitions about the embodied, relational self arguably have to do with his experience as a stage director. Through his work, he is aware of the way that players distinguish between their own selves and the roles, characters, voices, and identities they perform. Bergman exploits the techniques, concepts, and metaphors of the theater in the narration of this story of a 'life catastrophe'.

This article describes the life and work of an important Czech sociologist of the interwar period, Emanuel Chalupný (1879-1958). Even from a mere outline of his life one clearly sees that he was a highly controversial, tenacious, even disagreeable figure, who had no intention of giving in to anyone or anything, something that earned him many enemies. His own extraordinarily numerous works of sociology are today outmoded, yet they contain a number of original ideas, which contemporaneous critics often overlooked. One of the areas where Chalupný made interesting contributions is the sociology of religion, which developed in an original way the ideas of Auguste Comte and follows on Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. Chalupný appreciated both individual mysticism and the thorough church organization, and was able to perceive the religious dimensions of works of art, particularly literary ones, as well as political forms of ‘implicit religions’. His own attitude to religion, however, stemmed from his religious feeling, at least to a certain extent, which had developed in the context of the religious and non-religious opinions of contemporaneous Czech intellectuals (though not always in agreement with them). This dimension of Chalupný’s personality is examined in the article, wherever the sources have permitted, as well as the unfortunate conclusion of his life after the Communist takeover in Czechoslovakia.

Článek popisuje život a dílo významného českého sociologa meziválečného období, Emanuela Chalupného (1879-1958). I z letmého náhledu je zřejmé, že šlo o osobnost vysoce kontroverzní, urputnou, až nepříjemnou, která se odmítala komukoli či čemukoli vzdát, což mu přineslo mnoho nepřátel. Jeho neobyčejně rozsáhlé sociologické dílo je dnes překonáno, ale obsahuje mnoho originálních myšlenek, které doboví kritici často přehlíželi. Jedna z oblastí, do níž Chalupný zajímavě přispěl, byla sociologie náboženství, kterou svébytně rozvinul na myšlenkách Augusta Comta a Tomáše Garrigua Masaryka. Chalupný si cenil jak individuálního mysticismu, tak církevní organizace, a byl schopen vnímat náboženské dimenze umění, a to především v literatuře, stejně jako politické podoby „implicitní religiozity”. Jeho přístup k náboženství pramenil alespoň do určité míry z vlastního náboženského cítění, které se vyvinulo v kontextu debat českých intelektuálů na (nejen toto) téma (ne vždy s nimi navíc souhlasil). Článek se zabývá i touto dimenzí Chalupného osobnosti, nakolik to prameny dovolují, stejně jako nešťastným závěrem jeho života po komunistickém převratu v Československu.

Heidegger has many critics, but not all critics are alike. This paper analyses the work of one of the more forceful and provocative of Heidegger’s detractors, Walter Kaufmann (1921–1980). The paper argues that Kaufmann’s criticisms of Heidegger deserve analysis in their own right. To make this case it unpacks Kaufmann’s biographical and scholarly involvement with Heidegger, explaining how Kaufmann (a refugee from Germany) was instrumental in bringing Heidegger to the attention of the American academic public. At the same time, the paper argues that Kaufmann’s intense opposition to Heidegger’s thought comes from his equally strong engagement with issues that preoccupied Heidegger as well. Specifically, Kaufmann’s own search to find a more honest and meaningful way to speaking about existential questions caused him to recoil from what he saw as Heidegger’s efforts to deflect, rather than spark, thought and engagement. The logic of Kaufman’s argument, as well as the implications of his criticisms of Heidegger are explored in the essay.

The work The Passing of Peregrinus by Lucian of Samosata presents a picture of a pseudo-philosopher , who under the disguise of Cynic asceticism and courageous death, hid such an extraordinary desire for fame and publicity that it took on a pathological size. This morbid craving for popularity that he acquired by any possible means finally brought Peregrinus to suicidal death, although, in fact, he did not really want it. What Lucian did not approve of his conduct was falseness, cheap theatrical claptrap, using human simplicity and warm-heartedness. Lucian damasks in a brutal way the unbound craving for publicity from which all actins of Peregrinus stemmed. By removing a tragic mask from his face Lucian pinpoints his ridiculousness and ugliness. It was the pursuit of popularity that brought Peregrinus to destruction. His self-immolation, however, was not viewed upon by Lucian as an act of heroism, but merely as a grotesque and miserable ending of an equally grotesque and deplorable life.
