Previous research showed that accumulations of capital following stationary interest rates are underestimated by human judges. Hyperbolic discounting was suggested as a descriptive and explanatory model for this phenomenon. First, we investigated judged accumulated capital after a period of annual growth and decline. The degree of underestimation increased with accumulated growth and the results supported hyperbolic discounting as a descriptive model on the group level. However, the hyperbolic model did not apply to the data for one third of the participants. Second, we investigated how investment decisions were related to capital accumulation before the investments and to judgments of the possible outcomes of the future investments. To our surprise, the participants’ judgments of expected future accumulated capital did not add predictive power to predictions based on whether there was growth or decline before the investment decision. Unfortunately this strategy leads to suboptimal investment decisions.

The essay presents the “flame dreamers” fascinated by kerosene lamps and gas lighting: Bachelard, Benjamin and, last but not least, Bohumil Hrabal, whose novels Taka piękna żałoba (Such a beautiful mourning) and Postrzyżyny (Cutting it short) describe childhood fascination with the beauty of those lamps. However, due to the twentieth century modernization, those lamps were replaced by electric light. Thus one can say that Benjamin and Hrabal lived in the times of decline of kerosene lamps and gas lighting, the lamps which added colours to their childhood world. The author links the disappearing of kerosene and gas lamps with the typically modern process of “colonizing the night” (A. Giddens). In this respect gas lighting and electric light become an element of the same process of the constant modernization. However, the writers of the emerging modernity clearly differentiate between the two types of lighting. They never sing praises of the “beauty” of electric bulb, yet quite often they admire the charm of gas and kerosene lamps which are bound to vanish. Thus they celebrate the loss as such, without realising what else is lost with their decline. This experience finds its fullest expression through language, in particular in the disappearance of the possessive pronouns (G. Bachelard). Electric bulbs are not wrapped in such words as my, mine, our, as kerosene or gas lamps used to be, and, as a consequence, modern man loses a friendly relationship with the surrounding objects.

The essay presents the changes in Polish and world alpinism / Himalaya mountaineering perceived as a particular cultural practice. Commercialization of high-mountain mountaineering (symbolized by crowds of rich amateurs climbing the Mount Everest) and pursuing personal success at any price (the case of Polish Broad Pick winter expedition) lead to tragedies and erosion of ideology and ethos of this once elite sport. In spite of this high (and the highest) mountains remain an object of interest for professional alpinists and ever growing group of high-mountain tourists.

Using a semantically capacious category of decline with reference to the history of Christianity, we clearly see that decline, fall, exhausting of some historical formations of Christianity do not necessarily indicate the gradual disappearance of a evangelical kerygma. On the contrary, it is a chance for a fuller development and bringing forth the hidden novelty of Christ’s message. Thus Nietzsche’s thought (and similar ideas) can be perceived as a refreshing wave which inspires us to reveal and deepen our understanding of the Gospel’s potential.

The literature and arts in Austria at the turn of the 19th century developed in the atmosphere of decadence. The Austrian-Hungarian monarchy was falling into a decline and paradoxically, at the same time, the art experienced a tremendous boost. Secession was the main style in architecture and painting as well as impressionism, symbolism and decadence in literature. All the fields of arts reflected the feelings of transition, decline, premonition of death. They gained their deepest expression in the poetry of Georg Trakl, in which the end of a certain historical and cultural formation combined itself with the feeling of self-destruction, one’s own annihilation.

Hans Magnus Enzensberger uses fabulous and fairy-tale motifs in his poetry, as well as refers to myth, legend or topos, in order to show present conflicts. Sometimes he brings a child character into his works, at times adopts a puerile view of the world, mocks at human stupidity, expresses his critical approach to imperfect adult world, but at the same time manifests his negative attitude to global imperialism and social and political relationships prevailing in Germany. He sees in them the end of such values as human dignity, courage to express own thoughts or respect for another human being. Aware of civilisation threats, he fights in his poetry for human subjectivity by referring to the world of childish imagination, fairy tale and myth, in particular to the myth of childhood an parents, which he recalls in order to express his critical approach to declining society being based on money-worship and authoritarian power, which contributes to the objectification of human beings. In this study, using concrete examples, Enzensberger has been presented as a committed poet who tries – like Zbigniew Herbert – to support reality change and improvement in artistically valuable manner.

We współczesnej dyskusji o kulturze interpretacja „nowoczesności” jako procesu schyłkowego, w rozumieniu konserwatystów, marksistów lub liberalistów zawiera wspólną aporię: w każdym przypadku zostawia się pierwszy lub drugi przeciwstawny paradygmat (ontologiczny lub historyczny) jako podstawę dyskursu. Zamiast wycofywać się do mistyczno-religijnej poetyki, która nie pozwala na rozróżnianie obu paradygmatów, proponuje się pozytywne rozwiązanie, traktujące je jako niemożliwe do wyeliminowania. Stwierdza się, że w kontekście ‘nowoczesności’ upadek kultury najlepiej pojąć jako cechę wewnętrznie złożonego zjawiska, w którym ontologiczne i historyczne modele rozumienia są powiązane poprzez wspólne relacje zależności i nieredukowalności. Powyższe stwierdzenie zostaje rozwinięte za pomocą opisu analogii pomiędzy kulturą a rodziną.

The decline of the art of the representation in the conception proposed in the article means first of all the change of the function and position of the mimesis in relation to aesthetic experience. If previously aesthetic experience was subordinated to representation, at present the representation has been subordinated to aesthetic experience. The decline of the of the art of representation suggests that the source of the literature perceived first of all as the form of the cognitive consciousness runs short. A rediscovery of art of revealing and participation – inseparable, however, from the art of the literary representation and mimetic mapping of the reality – today takes over the dominant part of the Polish literature of the high level, giving new functions to the representation.
