Strauss views modern mass democracy in its relation to mass culture. He sees his own concept of liberal education, viable also in the modern times, as an opposition to mass culture. This education is rooted in the aristocratic antique republicanism. Virtually every politics remains suspicious to philosophy and does not freely accept its own true image. Political philosophy, in Strauss opinion, sometimes has got to avoid persecution using 'noble lies' or hiding some of its findings. Modern democracies are bound to promote instrumental and material values and modern open society according to Strauss is prone to self-destructing relativism. Strauss noted that commercial republics unofficially repress and discriminate people and groups representing strong beliefs and treating high values as objective values. The ideas that all the points of view are equal and that in the light of egalitarian conformism any visible lack of democracy is immoral to Strauss were dangerous illusions. In the opinion of the American philosopher of politics the victory of democracy may not be final, nevertheless it is sure that a man can be really free only if he tries to be brave.

In Hungary, the study of the regional innovation systems as networks with the principles and methods of social network analysis (SNA) is a new and central objective. The two most important components of this research phenomenon were tested empirically here. On the one hand, the direction, composition, pattem and spatial properties of the interorganizational relationships of the enterprises in and beyond the economic field were analyzed. It is the investigation of the social - particularly - institutional embeddedness of the economic actors. On the other hand, the whole network structure could be interesting: the overall pattern, the central players and inter-sector relationships between R&D institutions, universities, agencies, chambers, development organizations and clusters. The results give reason for concern: the ratio of interorganizational cooperation is low and one-sided - basically with economic orientation in the region. The composition of the ego-networks of the companies is small and simple with low density. The network of innovation institutions in the region is centralized and breaks up easily without one or two core players.

First efforts aimed at application of Internet for the threat of potato by P. infestans in Poland were undertaken within the framework of cooperation between Institute of Plant Protection, and Danish Institute of Agriculture Science in 2001–2002. Significant contribution in development of native Internet based system was brought by cooperation between Institute of Plant Protection and German Central Institution for Decision Support Systems and Programmes in Crop Protection (Zentralstelle für Entscheidungshilfen und Programme im Pflanzenschutz, ZEPP) in 2003–2007. This cooperation enabled polish partners to acquaint with Information System for Integrated Crop Protection developed in Germany, and with aspects of extension service work realized with the help of Internet based decision support system. This knowledge enabled Polish partners to develop a native system for protection of potato against P, infestans. The system delivers information about late blight threat for potato, assessed by the model of Ullrich i Schrödter and results of monitoring conducted by Advisory Service on chosen potato plantations.

The theory of mind - a capacity of attributing mental states to other individuals - plays a crucial role in social life. On the one hand, it facilitates one's cooperation with group members, and, on the other hand, it makes it possible to manipulate others for achieving one's own purposes. In the recent study an attempt has been made to analyse certain important aspects of the complex relationship between theory of mind and social behaviour. For examining mindreading capacity, subjects were asked to follow short stories, and the level of Machiavellianism and cooperative ability was measured by using various tests. The authors have shown that Machiavellianism is negatively associated with a readiness for cooperation: those persons who are more inclined to manipulate others show a lower degree of cooperation. Second, strong correlation was found between mindreading capacity and cooperative ability. This finding could be interpreted that the better mindreading capacity one has, the higher level of cooperation with others one shows. Finally, no significant association was found between theory of mind and Machiavellianism. This result did not support their assumption that those persons who more easily take the others' perspective and understand their intentions and knowledge, efficiently and successfully manipulate the others. For the discussion of gthe authots' results - especially the third one - the hypothesis of 'cold' and 'hot' empathy, the representation of moral emotions, and other cognitive explanatory models were used.

The last forty years were a period when mechanisms of transborder cooperation in the Upper Rhine region were formed. The troubled past of the French-Swiss-German border territory no longer blocks the way of partners across the Rhine to seek practical solutions to problems in the life of the inhabitants of those areas. From the perspective of Paris or Berlin, the Upper Rhine region is not infrequently seen to be peripheral and unimportant, but in fact it lies in the centre of Europe and is one of the richest areas in the European Union. Opportunities that follow from such a location motivate local communities to tighten mutual ties and develop various forms of cooperation (e.g. the RegioTriRhena Council, the Upper Rhine Conference, Trilateral Congresses, the Upper Rhine Eurodistricts). Many of those are pioneering initiatives that serve as models for other European border regions.

The article presents corporate models of enterprise and from that models derives managers motivation to merge enterprises. It analyses the influence of motivation on enterprise's economic effectiveness. The analyses of theoretical models proves that the enterprises' growth based on the motive of maximum utility for the managers may be profitable but the growth In itself is not necessary or sufficient to improve enterprise's effectiveness. Foreign research do not prove whether fusions and mergers are beneficial for the enterprises. Therefore presented relations should be analysed in further research.

The task of the literary translator is commonly understood as comprising of two major elements. One is that of a translation proper - that is, a “conversion” of an original text into a new linguistic version, and the other being that of an agent or promoter who wants to attract attention of publishers, readers and critics. The question is whether the latter of the two remains justifiable in the changing book market. The article, based on a questionnaire conducted among a group of active translators, argues that the role of a translator as a promoter remains important only in very particular cases.

Socially responsible enterprise can be interpreted in terms of 'social capital', which is defined as connection within and between social networks. These connections, treated as a potential value, are characterized by mutual trust and stressing the importance of cooperation. As a consequence employees learn that cooperation is an effective tool to maximize their own profits (especially in the long term). Mutual trust and cooperation give rise to unformalized, spontaneous exchanges, and these lead to flexibility and innovation. Differentiating organizations by means of the level of social capital is based on the analysis of individuals' tendency to cooperate. The aim of the article is to describe the connection between the practices undertaken in an organization to strengthen cooperative attitudes and their consequences for the national social capital.

The development of knowledge based economy implies a change in resources assessment that influence economic growth. Initially, the material resources including land and capital were all important. The economic transition, globalization, development of IT technologies, growing competition have all increased the impact of non-material resources. Especially important factors became know-how and educated working force. Nowadays a broad understanding of those factors is comprised in one term as knowledge (OECD 2001, p.4). Traditional resources are still important but the main part in creating gross national product is played by knowledge (Fortune 1993 p. 2, Begg and others 1996, p. 36 ). The civilization progress have led to the situation where most people in the developed societies do not work physically but use their intellectual skills (OECD 2001, p 7 ).

The paper presents the results of empirical studies on cooperation of enterprises with other entities in the area of innovation activity that involved 156 enterprises from the region of northeastern Poland. It was studied whether enterprises cooperate in the area of innovation with three groups of partners, i.e. their suppliers and buyers, with other enterprises and with scientific institutions (institution carrying scientific research) as well as organizations dealing with transfer of innovations. Attempts were made to obtain an answer concerning the objective of cooperation and its subject. The cooperation was much more frequently undertaken by larger entities and it involved a wide range of partner institutions. Quite frequently other enterprises with the same or similar type of activity were partners. The cooperation occurred most frequently within the chain of supplier-processor-buyer, which is consistent with the global trends. The cooperation with suppliers most frequently focused on searching for new raw materials of better quality than those used so far while that with the buyers focused mainly on obtaining knowledge on expectations and preferences of clients. Unfortunately small and medium enterprises represent a low level of cooperation with innovation transfer institutions. As a consequence, activities supporting that transfer are necessary.

The paper discusses the advantages of introducing cooperative board games in foreign language classes at the preschool level. The author points out the possible negative consequences of games based on competition: conflicts and frustration. The remedy can consist of games in which the whole group fights against the system of the game and wins or loses as a result – which is the same for all players. The author describes cooperative games and indicates their positive influence both on the student’s language competence and the development of the child’s personality. The second part of the paper presents a model showing how to design a cooperative game for children and demonstrates an example of a cooperative game for preschool learners.
