At the beginning of the twenty first century, Chantal Delsol wrote that the man of late modernity is characterized by his attempt to regress to a period in history before his attainment of autonomy and subjectivity, both of which Delsol associates, among other things, with the essential and formative role of the family. Turning to a society or a group with which he could identify, man – in her opinion – takes a step back towards a tribal form of existence, which deprives him of the right to self-government. Demographic data seem to confirm the tendencies which Delsol has described: the rising number of divorces, the dropping number of marriages, and the increasing presence of the welfare state in the life of an individual. We might tend to think that reality bears out the pessimistic vision of the man of late modernity Delsol puts forth. Yet it is the role of philosophy to call into doubt all that seems obvious and to ask questions where to all appearances there is no room for doubt. This article proposes this kind of undertaking as an attempt to examine Delsol’s diagnosis through the lens of Kołakowski’s philosophy. With the help of Kołakowski’s treatment of the relationship between freedom and responsibility, and by applying his thoughts on the irremovable tension between the individual and the collective man, a motif distinctly present in his considerations, this article poses anew the question of whether we indeed are facing a crisis or an evolution of the family. Are the changes which we are observing a threat to our culture and civilization, or evidence of progress?
The author of the article describes the effects of the personalized advertising of the iPhone X and considers the functional world of smartphones – the essence of this device and the spiritual and physiological changes caused by it. Hand-held smartphones have become a tool and object shaping the personality and character of the cybercommunication user, separating him from classic analogue communications and body spectacles. The cultural and marketing principles of this new type of social communication were pointed out in May 1998 by Steve Jobs. According to personalized advertising, iPhone X is a medium with an aesthetic graphic interface and communication applications. Definitions and expansive practices of contemporary design are as unobvious as the concept of the Internet. Apple has translated the power of design into an effective marketing strategy and philosophy of culture. To put it simply, design recreates and consolidates communication, while art initiates and inspires it. But design is also the language of the individual but contextualized choices. In summary, appleization is a marketed culture format. First of all, it means to design sales. In fact, Apple proposed, by presenting the iMac, iPod, iPhone and – iPad, all consistently designed by Jonathan Ive, a pro-social marketing strategy, personalizing advertising, employer branding as the philosophy of the organization, and original typography as the basis of the company’s communication and off-line-user experience, unboxing rituals, and product placement; these are selected examples of professional activity, whose aim is to build the philosophy of a modern brand and, as a consequence, to remodel the user’s awareness. Therefore, if we recognize that the essence of the cult of (each) brand lies in the image and product creation, Apple supports this cult by drawing on synergy of employer and personal branding. Design is not so much a global philosophy as it is a part of the process, a fragment of such branding, which is one of the lifestyle paradigms.
Pojęcie „kultury wychowania” traktuję w kategoriach umownego konstruktu teoretycznego, dzięki któremu ujęte są, z punktu widzenia myślenia i działania pedagogicznego, swoiste sensy i znaczenia. Przestrzenna metafora drogi okrężnej stanowi tu heurystyczny trop w próbie ujęcia owych sensów i znaczeń. W tym kontekście: 1) odróżniam zakresy znaczeniowe metafor drogi bezpośredniej, drogi na skróty, drogi okrężnej oraz drogi donikąd, 2) przywołuję wybrane kulturowo-filozoficzne zastosowania toposu drogi okrężnej, 3) dookreślam pojęcia homo culturalis oraz mondo civile z perspektyw pojęcia kultury jako drogi okrężnej. To zaś jest podstawą do ujęcia samej kultury wychowania poprzez: 1) sformułowanie założeń określających rozumienie tego pojęcia z perspektywy metafory drogi okrężnej, 2) określenie egzystencjalnego etosu, wyrażonego w nastawieniach i racjach myślenia i działania pedagogicznego, 3) wyodrębnienie czterech postaci racjonalizacji i utrwalania egzystencjalnych habitusów w ramach oddziaływań pedagogicznych.

I treat the concept of “culture of education” in terms of contractual, theoretical construct, which presents specific meanings and significances from the point of view of pedagogical thinking and action. The spatial metaphor of a detour is a heuristic clue in an attempt to approach these significances and meanings. In this context: 1) I distinguish between the meaning of metaphors of a direct road, a shortcut, a detour and a road to nowhere, 2) I recall selected cultural and philosophical applications of a detour topos, 3) I clarify the concepts of homo culturalis and mondo civile from the point of view of culture as a detour. This is a basis for recognition the culture of education by: 1) formulation the guidelines for defining the understanding of this concept from the perspective of a detour metaphor, 2) definition of existential ethos, expressed in attitudes and reasons of pedagogical thinking and actions, 3) separation four forms of rationalization and preservation of existential habitus within the educational interactions.
Opracowanie stanowi syntezę konsekwencji zastosowań ICT w kulturze społeczeństwa informacyjnego, a w szczególności w rozrywce. Konsekwencje te zostały odniesione do filozofii kultury i filozofii techniki oraz wcześniejszych badań autorek. W podjętej analizie skupiono się na renesansie i eksplozji globalnej popularności sieci parków rozrywki oraz gier komputerowych w kontekście biznesu i edukacji. Opracowanie wskazuje na istotne znaczenie ramowego katalogu kompetencji cyfrowych oraz dominacji konsumpcyjno-produkcyjnego pojmowania kultury w społeczeństwie informacyjnym jako niezbędnych elementów świadomości rozwoju we współczesnym świecie zdominowanym przez technologie ICT.

The elaboration is a synthesis of the consequences of ICT applications in the culture of the information society, particularly in entertainment. These consequences are related to the philosophy of culture and philosophy of technology, and previous authors’ studies. The analysis has focused on renaissance and the explosion of popularity of the global network of amusement parks and computer games in the context of business and education. The study shows the importance of the framework directory of digital skills, and the dominance of consumers understanding of culture in the information society as essential elements of development consciousness in the contemporary world dominated by ICT.
The aim of this article is to briefly outline my own cognitive experience, characterized by knowledge transfer and aesthetic experience, which arises from making BioArt. Specifically, I do nature photography, using the micro-photography technique. In this article, I distinguish – in terms of methodology and value - between interdisciplinary research in the social sciences and the postulate of transdisciplinary research, which leads me to reject the so-called plantality model - a linguistic concept employed by G. Deleuze and F. Guattari (Rhizome). I argue for a critical approach to this line of post-humanist reflection on non-human life that is not characterized by knowledge transfer. The article includes a report on the course of my research (parts 2 and 3), and a reflection of its relevance to the philosophy of art and philosophy of culture (parts 1, 3, 3.1, 4). The report from my own research and artistic activity includes a description of the transformation of my working space, the process of acquiring new disciplinary tools and skills - an experience that I call a change of attitude - and a presentation of nature microphotography (mainly plant photography). I provide a technical commentary on the presented photographs with regard to the process of their creation (e.g. botanical and optical information related to the microscopic slides and equipment), as well as philosophical comments. The philosophical reflection includes the postulate of alterity, which, in my view, is endemic to post-humanist thought, as well as a postulate called the primacy of abstraction, which reflects the non-naturalistic, anti-illustrative, and interpretative character of artistic microphotography (in contrast to the illustrative nature of “the plantality discourse of philosophy”).
Wilhelm Feldman – pisarz, publicysta, krytyk literacki, działacz i myśliciel polityczny, legendarny redaktor krakowskiej „Krytyki”, był inicjatorem i uczestnikiem wielu młodopolskich dyskusji. Artykuł jest próbą rekonstrukcji podstawowych idei i intuicji obecnych w głównych pracach historycznych Feldmana i pomniejszych szkicach. Autor twierdzi, że mają one charakter filozoficzny i tworzą spójne stanowisko. Jego filozofia łączy inspiracje romantyczne z pozytywistycznym programem pracy u podstaw oraz z elementami socjalizmu niepodległościowego, stanowiąc ważny element myśli filozoficznej polskiego modernizmu w Galicji.

Wilhelm Feldman – a writer, publicist, literary critic, activist and political thinker, legendary editor of “Krytyka” in Kraków – was also an initiator and participant in many Young Poland discussions. The article is an attempt to reconstruct the basic ideas and intuitions present in Feldman’s major historical works and minor sketches. The author argues that they are philosophical in nature and form a coherent position. His philosophy combines romantic inspirations with the positivist programme of organic work and with elements of independence socialism, constituting an important element in the philosophical thought of Polish modernism in Galicia.

W artykule zaprezentowano postać Haliny Wistuby (1920-2013), która swoją pisarską działalnością włączyła się w proces przemian w Polsce zapoczątkowanych u schyłku XX w. A wówczas wiele było do odrobienia zwłaszcza w zakresie wychowania i edukacji Polaków. Postawa służebna H. Wistuby wobec wszystkich, których napotkała w swoim życiu, była połączona z misją świadczenia swoim przykładem o wszechogarniającej obecności Boga w życiu codziennym. H. Wistuba była aktywną prelegentką, wykładowczynią i autorką licznych publikacji z zakresu filozofii kultury. Wielce troszczyła się także o integralny rozwój młodego człowieka, miłowała Polskę, była osobą głębokiej wiary. Wreszcie wniosła zauważalny wkład do katolickiej refleksji na temat wychowania i edukacji młodego pokolenia w okresie społeczno-politycznych przemian, jakie dokonywały się w Polsce pod koniec XX stulecia.

The article “In the service of the Church and science: philosophy of culture was her passion – Halina Wistuba (1920-2013)” is dedicated to a woman who in her writing activity was very involved in the process of change in Poland at the end of the 20th century. There was much to make up then, especially in upbringing and education. Halina Wistuba served with the gift she had and with the result of her intense intellectual work: as a speaker, lecturer and author of many publications in the field of philosophy of culture. Her philosophical and pedagogical erudition, keen mind and inquisitiveness in discovering the truth, as well as her great concern for the harmonious, integral development of young people, the love for the homeland and her personal deep faith put her at the forefront of people who, in their writing activities, rooted in the philosophy of culture, gave direction to the de-velopment of Catholic thought in the field of education of the young generation of Poles, who lived in the time of the great socio-political changes and the development of the democratic system in the country.
