The aim of the article is to present conceptual difficulties faced by a philosopher who studies death. It can be accepted only from a natural and logical point of view, while my own 'personal' death always remains inconceivable. Similarly, the image of life after death is an inscrutable intellectual puzzle. Moreover - contrary to the expectations expressed by some philosophers - there are hardly any chances to explore the essence of death during the process of dying. That stage of human life is not open to cognitive analysis.

The article employs aspects of narrative psychology to analyse literary rendering (im)possibilities to narrate one’s own lifetime story reliably. After a description of the narrative context of identity, it concerns with the questions of the life narrative (on the examples from Hungarian postmodern novels) dependent on acts of constructing, remembering, judging, or placing it into „bigger“ narratives of a family. The aim of the study is to point out that there is a close legitimate relation between the narrator and the narrative, and to explain the literary problem of the life narrative in relation with the postmodern resignation to the integrity of identity.

The movement aims to explain life on earth, and especially intelligent life on earth, as a result of plan executed by some supernatural intelligence. This conception is discussed at some length by presenting main exponents of the movement and their arguments. Then the author offers some reservations about scientific and philosophical quality of these views.

At present, the so-called “animal ethics“ is quite a standard part of bioethics. The moral dimension of humans´ attitudes to animals became a traditional and at the same time inspiring subject in the field, though such efforts are neither new nor unique in history. Contemporary ethics is not just a theory. It is in many ways closely related to particular forms of human practice. In veterinary ethics, for instance, certain biomedical aspects intertwine with so-called “animal ethical theory”.

Rilke´s life and work: both are widely available, useable and insightfully presented in detailed accounts of his life and in editions of his works, in an inclusive Chronik and Rilke-Handbuch, in translations and scholarly research. But one meets him also by chance, casually, usually second-hand, in biographies, reminiscences, novels and tattoos as the embodiment of a calling, as a helpful mediator, deliverer and liberating messenger. Our discussion should centre upon such readings and interpretations of Rilke´s work.

This text shows the conditions of our present epoch, which is understood as a successive and technological time. Instead of being rooted in the thinking of origin (Anfang), we find ourselves in the epoch of “enframing” (Gestell), in a situation where man is no longer even a being but merely a human resource. Instead of thinking, we have digitalization; instead of education, organized ignorance. Using Heidegger’s motifs, we contemplate the key connections of our present and uncover an ontological dimension that is more original than Cartesian subjectivity. By descending to a more original ontological dimension, man is shown not as an objectifying (managing, digitizing, etc.) subject, but as a being of Being, thus of origin, to which belongs the paradox that it always happens for the first time and for the last time. And it is precisely from this paradox that the poetic nature of human dwelling becomes clear.

In the antiquity two components entered the concept of philosophy: intellectual investigation of the ultimate reality and application of the ensuing findings in the life of a philosopher who had determined in his mind what the ultimate nature of the world is like. Unlike most students of history of philosophy the present author focuses on the second problem. When commenting on the unusual life style of Greek thinkers he uses the term that was originally applied by the Athenians to the peculiar and erratic behaviour of Socrates. A strangeness of this kind could be manifested in a philosopher's contacts with other philosophers or between any one of them and the ruler. In each case bizarre behaviour inspired popular suspicion, invited disfavour from the ruler and occasioned numerous squabbles among the philosophers themselves. Such clashes did not necessarily prove that the oddly behaving philosopher was in the wrong, while his society was in the right. But the conflict of standards could occasionally lead to the establishing of a reputation of a divine inspiration that presumably had affected the mind of a man of unorthodox ways.

The issue of the meaning of life is the essence of humanistic reflection on life. More and more often, the contemporary human beings begin to search for the meaning of their existence when they can no longer understand the events in their life, the world, and the processes which take place. In the context of the meaning of life, I refer in this work to the philosophical thoughts of Andrzej L. Zachariasz, Józef M. Bocheński and Michał Heller, among others, and to the philosophical concept of Józef Bańka.According to J. Bańka, one problem of the modern world is combining the concept of the way of life with the concept of the meaning of life. The word ”meaning” is a logical category. However, in practice, people refer to it from the axiological or ethical perspective – subjectively rather than objectively. They understand a meaningful life as a valuable life. In my work, I stress that J. Bańka’s proposal concerning the meaning of life and the way of life helps to organize discussion on this subject.

In the text the author asks a question: Is life the supreme value? That claim is discussed and found wanting. As the main principle of utilitarianism it admits of two incompatible interpretations called here the 'biotic' and the 'hedonic' one, respectively - the former base and common, the latter noble and rare.

The text is a discussion with Roman Piotr Godlewski's argument against rationality of suicide, comprised in his article Ontological Mistake of Suicide. The autrhor tries to bring the tacit premises of his argument out and demonstrate that the premises are questionable. The objection of his consideration is to prove that Godlewski's argument is inconclusive and suicide can be rational (in instrumental sense).

In his Ideas Pertaining to a Pure Phenomenology and to a Phenomenological Philosophy, Edmund Husserl introduces the pure ‘I’ (reines Ich) as a peculiar, non-constituted transcendence that is not contained in the stream of immanent experience. In the Ideas, however, Husserl does not elaborate much on the consequences of this step regarding the internal time-consciousness. In this text, using Husserl’s analyses in his so-called L-Manuscripts, we are trying to analyse the specific way of being of this pure ‘I’ in the light of this problem. The pure ‘I’ cannot be found in the stream of mental experiences, but leads egoic life as a subject in the form of ‘being-present’ (Dabeisein) for the series of these mental experiences.

This paper introduces the concept of form of life, socially shaped and shared meaning structures of actors situated in material contexts, as a tool for the cultural-sociological analysis of biographies and life trajectories. Following the principles of structural hermeneutics, such an analysis of life-forms treats the interview text as manifestation of a deeper holistic meaning structure, embodied in narratives, binaries and metaphors, without suppressing the contradictions and tensions inherent in every form of life. Finally, the empirical applicability of our approach is illustrated with examples from the qualitative strand of a broader longitudinal panel study as well as an in-depth case study.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF MAN AS CONCEIVED BY MAX SCHELER

Scheler refers man, on the one side, to the animal kingdom, and on the other, to God. 'Homo naturalis' includes the vital sphere and the psychic one. However, the essence of man inheres in his spirit which is the source of the volitionary and emotional acts. The spiritual centre of acts, the person, is no substance but only an arrangement of acts. The physiological and the psychical vital processes are only two sides of a single process of life. The dualistic view of man does not mean the soul and the body but the spirit and the life. In the early stage Scheler conceived God as a person, later on he mentioned only an absolute being without naming it a person. This being is supposed to be vested in an infinite spirit-reason and an irrational impetus. The 'ens a se' develops from a preoriginal principle due to a stronger and stronger permeation of the spirit and the impetus. And the place of this selfrealization of God is man. There are also presented the commentaries of some scholars and the critical comments of the authoress.

Our attempts to answer the question about the sense of life are determined by the fact that we are mortal creatures. This led to the formation of two essential opposing philosophical attitudes towards life and, consequently, two philosophical attitudes towards death: the former is identified with Plato, the latter with Epicurus. The Platonic attitude is based on the hope that human life goes beyond worldliness. In that attitude, earthly life is supposed to be a preparation for eternal life, and philosophy becomes mainly meditation on death. Principally, such an attitude has been adopted by all currents of Christian thought. The Epicurean attitude is based on the conviction that human existence has only an earthly dimension. In this attitude, earthly life is supposed to be lived as if every moment was infinitely long. Such a life becomes a finite sequence of moments which are lived in an infinite dimension. Consequently, philosophy is not reflection on death, but meditation on life. Such an attitude has been adopted principally by all varieties of materialistic philosophy and atheistic existentialism.

The paper concerns a specific defence of vitalism in Georges Canguilhem’s essay “Aspects of Vitalism.” Canguilhem suggests that vitalism is not a scientific doctrine, but rather a demand or a claim of irreducibility of the living. Canguilhem even signifies it as an ethics (because the sphere of values is essential here for understanding vital phenomena). On the contrary, mechanicism as a common name for all conceptions hostile to vitalism is in fact a basic method (in terms of a way or an attitude) of scientific work. The relation between these antagonisms takes often a form of a struggle. The first chapter of the article grasps the topic of life and the vitality of vitalism. The second one is a consideration on inspirational and resistant features of vitalism. The last chapter gives an explication of the scientific and the pre-scientific and of valorisation of vital phenomena. Although Canguilhemian “vitalism” as a demand cannot be labelled as science, it is still the reverse side of scientific work based primarily on mere naturalistic attitude.

The existence of different Christian communities is an important aspect of the Church's identity today. People belonging to different religious organizations have an opportunity to strengthen their own faith and the faith in their families. Faith needs to have a 'place' to strengthen itself. The participation in religious community life also helps a believer to answer dificult questions and doubts and experience the beauty of the life among the brethren in faith. The autor focuses on dif erent forms of religious organizations and their role in supporting family life.
