My response engages with Matthew Rampley’s quest for fertile ways to incorporate east-central European art history within a shared larger framework: why should, and how could, modern art from east-central Europe have pertinence for audiences elsewhere? While I agree with Rampley that the materiality of center/ periphery-relations cannot be simply thought away by the force of mental magic, I insist that (art historical) scholarship need not reproduce unjust geopolitical givens. Indeed, a beauty of our profession is the pursuit and production of potentially transformative knowledge. In this conviction, I (re-)directed Rampley’s quest towards intellectual agendas that contributed to the renewal of art historical scholarship a couple of decades ago: ‘historyfrom- below’, post-structuralist and post-colonial critique, the social and spatial turns, the concepts of multiple modernities and alternative geographies of Modernism and, perhaps most importantly, feminist epistemology and art history. Exposing the false universalism of earlier approaches, these narrative projects put forth more inclusionist demands and followed up the logical consequences of opening up (art) history for marginal or non-European cultures. A further aspect of a shared alternative framework appears to be a reduced emphasis on aesthetic-only concepts or stylistic labels as primary analytic concerns. I also estimate that both the producers and the most eager audience of these more inclusive narratives will be found in a quickly growing intellectual community of ‘minor transnationalists’ and proponents of ‘transmodernity’ or a transperipheral conversation.

Moje odpověď se připojuje k Rampleyho hledání možností, jak začlenit dějiny umění středovýchodní Evropy do širšího společného rámce. Proč a jaký význam by mělo mít moderní umění středovýchodní Evropy pro publikum v jiných částech světa? I když s Matthewem Rampleym souhlasím, že vztahy centra a periferie jsou stále důležité a jejich závažnost se nerozplyne pouhou silou sugesce, zároveň se domnívám, že věda (včetně dějin umění) nemusí nerovné geopolitické podmínky reprodukovat. Krása našeho povolání spočívá právě v hledání a vytváření potenciálně transformativních znalostí. S tímto přesvědčením jsem Rampleyho pátrání nasměrovala na intelektuální agendy, které před několika desetiletími přispěly k obnově vědeckých dějin umění: „dějiny zdola“, poststrukturalistickou a postkoloniální kritiku, sociální a prostorový obrat, koncepty mnohočetných modernit a alternativních geografií modernismu a především na feministickou epistemologii a dějiny umění. Tyto narativní projekty, které odhalily zdánlivý univerzalismus dřívějších přístupů, požadovaly větší inkluzivnost a zabývaly se také logickými důsledky otevírání dějin (umění) vůči marginálním a mimoevropským kulturám. Dalším aspektem společného alternativního rámce pak je pokles důrazu na čistě estetické pojmy a stylová označení jako hlavní analytické problémy. Předpokládám také, že tvůrci a zapálení příznivci inkluzivnějších narativů se objeví v rychle rostoucím intelektuálním společenství „menšinových transnacionalistů“ a zastánců „transmoderny“ nebo dialogu mezi periferiemi.

The author presents an integral vision of a human being as the foundation for understanding vocation and respect for life. It emphasizes the truths: man as a body and spirit being; the dignity and worth of every person created in the image and likeness of God; the vocation to love, i.e. the ability to give oneself as a gift. As a source for reflection, it is the light of God’s truth found in the Holy Scriptures and in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The author shows the socio-cultural problems related to the lack of respect for human values that are taking place today. It presents the necessity of catechesis in social life, which is to respond with faith to human existence. It presents the problems posed by the world and the response of catechetical content to particular threats.

The conception of time, presented by St. Augustine, unites within itself the physical-philosophical views of Aristotle, and its own psychological view concerning the lived experience of the flow of sensory impressions from the past towards the future. H. Majkrzak (1999) underlines, in Augustine, the existential moment of time. The time of a human life is limited: it is situated within borders stretching from the day of birth to the day of death. This faithful and precise representation of the Augustinian conception of time, nevertheless brings the reader up against a problem: What value does it have today?

The twentieth century brought many difficult trials to Europe. Lithuania was devastated by two world wars and long and difficult periods of occupation. The Catholic Church was persecuted by both the Nazis and the Soviets. The clergy suffered much. One of the first martyrs during the Soviet occupation was the Bishop of Telšiai, Vincentas Borisevičius. Although there are not many written sources and testimonies about him, we can get a good idea that he grew up in a moral and faithful environment and matured for the priesthood. Borisevičius was entrusted with the duties of the rector of the seminary, later became an assistant to the Bishop of Telšiai, and finally an Ordinary. Bishop Borisevičius demonstrated his heroic virtues during the Second World War by rescuing Jews, by remaining faithful to his flock, and by not cooperating with the occupying powerʼs security structures or betraying innocent people. This is what brought the moment of his arrest and suffering closest. Although murdered, the bishop remained an apostolic example for the Christians of the new times. Because of his virtues and martyrdom, the Church has opened the case for the beatification of Bishop Vincent Borisevičius.

The article discusses extension and intension of the advertisement concept. The core idea, originality, likeability (attractiveness), target population orientation, motivation (encouragement) are viewed as the main components of the contemporary advertising. For that 1250 slogans were analyzed to reveal the frequent lexical items (with regard to parts of speech). The fact that the most frequent name is LIFE is interpreted in view of streamline of publicity manipulation and ideology of advertising.

The term used in the title has, so far, not been the subject of a more extensive linguistic reflection. The author of the paper aims at providing a description of lexical units implying the argument 'unborn being (child)' with respect to their structure and meaning. The method of analysis is based on proposing hypotheses in the form of analytical implications and subjecting them to falsification by bringing them down to contradiction. The content of the paper focuses on issues relating to the reconstruction of the form of lexical units (verbs). In a close reference to the content of the analysed terms, the discussion considers also the following notions: 'żyć', 'wiedzieć', 'robić' and many others. The author tries to prove that those components belong to the semantic structure of the examined phrases with the term child (unborn).

John Lizza says that to define death well, we must go beyond biological considerations. Death is the absence of life in an entity that was once alive. Biology is the study of life. Therefore, the definition of death should not involve non-biological concerns.

The term used in the title has not so far been the subject of a more extensive linguistic reflection. The author of the paper aims at providing a disciplined description of lexical units containing the segment żyć with respect to their structure and meaning. The method of analysis is based on putting forward hypotheses in the form of analytical implications and subjecting them to falsification by bringing them down to contradiction. The content of the paper focuses on issues relating to reconstruction of the form of lexical units (on the basis of segment and supra-segment signals) and reconstruction of the hierarchy of meaningful components. In close relationship with the content of the analysed terms, also the notions wiedzieć ('to know') and robić ('to do/make') are discussed. The author tries to prove that those components belong to the semantic structure of the examined phrase; he also proposes a preliminary explication of meanings in the terms of natural semantic meta-language.

Der M ensch wird in der Bibel als Wesen dargestellt, das es obwohl sterben muss, von Gott zum Leben bestimmt wird. Des Begriff des Lebens umfasst nich nur dasselbe biologische Werden und Dauern, sondern auch Leben, Wohlhabenheit und Glück, das mit dem inneren Frieden verknüpft ist. Fast im ganzen Alten Testament zeigt sich, dass das Leben nur zur iridisch-zeitlichen Dauer begrenzt war, was eine überzeugung wurde, so Lohn, wie Strafe stütze sich prinzipiell auf der zeitlichen Vergeilung. Erst die Idee der unsterblichen Seele, die sich in den letzten chronologischen Büchern das Alten Testaments erschien, machte das Finden der Brückenbah bahn leichter, die das irdische mit dem jensetigen Leben verbindet.

Author suggests that we should not treat our own life too seriously. Treating seriously can be analyzed, firstly, as treating as something important. But we should not think about ourselves as more important than other persons. The second analysis suggests life without sense of humor. But, irony and laugh is the only way to cope with tragic events. That is why the attitude of resignation and accepting one own weakness is, against moral ideals, acceptable.

This article attempts to assess the moral progress of biomedicine. At the beginning of the analysis the man is presented in the context of the auto teleological. In the second part of the article are shown tasks and role of biotechnology in relation to human needs. Analyzing the achievements of technology the author shows the moral limits of their application. It is emphasized that technology as a tool used by everyone on a daily basis can lead to happiness or cause misfortune. The moral evaluation of the progress refers to many conclusions of John Paul II, inter alia, in his encyclical Evangelium vitae, Redemptor hominis and Veritatis splendor, taking into account its various speeches at various symposiums, as well as quoting the text of the Catechism of the Church Catholic.

This article briefly discusses the relationship between life and death. Understanding of this relationship has changed over the centuries, but this article focuses primarily on contemporary issues. The analysis makes reference to the texts of Max Scheler and Arthur Schopenhauer, as well as to the poetry of Rilke. This indicates that a human being should accept the necessity of death. Avoiding the truth, or attempting to take control over death – which is sometimes suggested by contemporary culture and technology – can be devastating for life

Counteracting the spread of infectious diseases poses a challenge for the efficient running of a state. The most common aspect of this issue concerns the establishment of appropriate legal regulations aimed at protecting human life and health against the spread of biological pathogens causing infectious diseases. In recent years, this issue has taken on a particular importance with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. National legislators have taken a number of legislative initiatives as a response to the emerging threat. However, in some cases, the existing regulations were considered sufficient. Legal scholars consider these issues primarily from the perspective of general administrative law. These include administrative law sanctions for non-compliance with prohibitions established within this field of law. However, the problem addressed in the title may also be considered from the perspective of criminal law, in particular in relation to the protection of human life and health. The central point of consideration is the protection of these values (individually and collectively) against the transmission of infectious diseases due to human negligence.

The categories of life and death in the unbinary model of the world. Selected stories by Jelena Dolgopiat The analysis of selected works by Jelena Dolgopiat leads to the conclusion that the world presented in her short stories cannot be characterized by binary oppositions. In the chaotic contemporary world they lose their sense, because unambiguous separation of fiction from reality is impossible, or maybe the opposition of death and physical life is impossible. Memory grows into the rank of highest value deciding about the life and the loss of it equals death. This presentation of the life and death problem seems to depict in continuation of the idea of Nikolay Fiodorov, that had been taken up before by the Russian writers such as e.g. Andrey Platonov or Vladimir Nabokov. Perceiving and presenting the world as heterogeneous rhizome allows however to discern in Jelena Dolgopiat’s output the postmodernist understanding of existence.

Passing, departing of man became an awkward subject in the contemporary civilization (avoiding problems of old age and death, the cult of the body). However, the problem of solitude affect's man at every time of his or her life. Therefore, there is a need to seek solutions in the interdisciplinary dimension conducive to the elimination of loneliness of older people (or at least to contribute to their reduction) and relieve the consequences. Active participation of older people in the life of family and society is very important. People supporting the elderly (physicians, nurses, social workers, volunteers) should promote the concept of old age being valuable, full of possibilities, often hidden developmental reserves.

Feature of oeuvre of Marina Tsvetaeva – the predominance of the motive of death. Henry Gorchakov discovers this topic in sixty percent of the poet’s works of M.Tsvetaeva. Naturally, reflections on death are accompanied by reflections on life. The article analyzes the peculiarities of development of Tsvetaeva’s work of another constant motive – the motive of life, the concept of which is found out in a complex metaphysical context of thinking. Particular attention is paid to the diversity of approaches to understanding life and their changes. At the same time, the poet does not develop his own philosophy of life, focusing on the world of experiences, on the one hand, or on a holistic and volatile reality, on the other.
