Purpose: The subject of the publication is a philosophical reflection on the idea that organizes the space of human and citizen life, of which we are contemporary beneficiaries. This idea today inspires the search for the subjective status of man, shapes the axiological system of societies, defines the duties of the human person, sets legal standards. Methodology: The publication is theoretical in nature. The analysis of the literature on the subject constituted the method of working on the publication. This method made it possible to learn about the current state of knowledge in the subject under discussion, indicated the scope of consideration of the problem, and also determined the perspective of further issues and questions that require answers. Findings: The publication discusses the values on which the idea of human rights is based, the assumption being that a person who transcends the characteristics of the zoological species participates in the moral and rational sphere, the sphere of unconditional moral imperatives that cannot be empirically determined. Social consequences: The perspective adopted in the publication discussing the idea of human rights is, first of all, important criteria and categories for the construction of the normative order, it projects the formation of social ties and the evolution of values that consolidate society. The idea of human rights in this sense is a regulator of collective life that creates social order. Originality: The publication asks what are the sources of the idea of human rights, whether the rooting of man in intellectual loyalty to reason is a sufficient motive to safeguard against the desire to invalidate them, whether man as a moral being is immune to the action of the instincts of his own nature.
Purpose: The paper presents a fundamental issue for contemporary democracy concerning two basic concepts shaping civic awareness. Methodology: The main method is the analysis of the subject literature. Findings: The paper discusses the fundamental values that directly determine a person's status as an individual and a citizen in the state. Social implications: Reflections on the content of human rights and civil society are essential for the development of a model of citizen-state relations. Originality/value: The paper indicates the existence of a moral aspect in the relationship between the citizen and the state and its importance for building individual subjectivity and civic awareness.
Purpose: The publication discusses the mutual relations between philosophy, science and cognition. Methodology: The main method is the analysis of the subject literature. Findings: The article discusses issues of epistemological nature, describes the mechanism that enables cognition as both an experience and an act of will. Social implications: For European culture, the concept of truth is fundamental, and can be interpreted as a practical value in life or as a never-ending search for the meaning of human existence. Originality/value: The result is recognition that science and philosophy, both cognitive categories ultimately provide the starting point for research on the status of man as a being above the biological and for research on his moral condition.
Purpose: The publication presents the issue of philosophy understood as the creation of an ethical sense of humanity of a human being. Methodology: The main method is the analysis of the subject literature.

Social implications: Considerations concerning the moral dimension of human existence may determine the future of European civilization. Originality/value: The publication indicates that exceeding utilitarian criteria builds the awareness that man is a moral entity, which is an end in itself, never a means.
Purpose: The paper takes up the problem of project management from a historical-philosophical perspective. Methodology: The main method is a critical analysis of literature on the subject. Findings: The article draws attention to the mechanism for creating new methods of project management. Social implications: The paper discusses the evolution from an unconscious form of performing unique activities each time requiring planning and detailed preparation to a strict scientific method using a complex mathematical apparatus. Originality/value: A new way of approaching the subject is combining aspects of philosophy with the social function of management.
The publication presents the issues of philosophical anthropology fundamental for Leszek Kołakowski's interests, which attempt not only at finding answers but also asking questions about the condition of human nature, the constitutive conditions for human existence in the transcendental dimension, the essence of tensions and conflicts that may pose a threat to the survival of the European civilization, and, finally, questions about whether there are orientation marks and points of support that constitute the necessary conditions for its further existence and development. This area of concern places the human being at the heart of the matter as a causal being - taking action and endowed with freedom of will which presupposes the ability to do good and evil. Understood in this dimension, exceeding the features of zoological species, participates in the moral and cognitive sphere, in the sphere of unconditional moral imperatives, which cannot be empirically determined. Humanity transcends the properties of nature and is not defined by specific determinants that distinguish it from other species. Therefore, manhood is a moral notion, an attempt to make an endless intellectual effort to marginalize the natural instincts in order to convince people that the man is a moral being, a self-contained goal, not a means.
