The pivotal point in the Austrian literature on homogeneity, choice and indifference was constituted by Nozick’s On Austrian Methodology. Nozick provoked a long debate on the above notions within Austrianism. The aim of this paper is to elaborate such an account of homogeneity that would take the sting out of Nozick’s challenge and allow for non-trivial formulation of the law of diminishing marginal utility. Hence, we shall first take a closer look at the debate on indifference within the Austrian camp, while defending and building upon the Hoppean account vis-à-vis Block’s criticism. Our justification of the Hoppean position shall consist in showing that his account of the correct description of an action is not an ad hoc move aimed at solving just one problem of indifference but is highly intuitive and widely applicable. We conclude by restating the above-mentioned law, thus demonstrating that the Nozickian objection can be successfully replied.

The article is an attempt at looking at the literary motif of “Potiphar’s wife” in view of the relation of the will of the characters to their love choices. The analysis includes three French lais of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries: Lanval by Marie de France and two anonymous works: Lai de Graelent and Lai de Guingamor. Aspect of the will and choice, seemingly insignificant in light of the common, well-defined narrative pattern determining the plot of works, turns out to be an interesting area of freedom for the authors themselves. The way of showing of the decision-making mechanisms allows them to individualize the psychological profiles of characters and to differentiate the level of dramatization of the scenes of choice.

Artykuł jest próbą spojrzenia na literacki motyw „żony Putyfara” pod kątem relacji woli bohaterów do ich miłosnych wyborów. Analiza obejmuje trzy francuskie lais z XII i XIII wieku: Lanval Marie de France oraz anonimowe Lai de Graelent i Lai de Guingamor. Aspekt woli i wyboru, pozornie mało znaczący w świetle wspólnego, wyraźnie określonego schematu narracyjnego określającego przebieg akcji utworów, okazuje się interesującą przestrzenią wolności dla samych autorów. Sposób ukazania mechanizmów podejmowania decyzji pozwala im na zindywidualizowanie psychologicznych sylwetek bohaterów oraz zróżnicowanie poziomu dramatyzacji scen wyboru.

The paper presents a data normalization method for processing the data that makes it possible to choose the road building technology. There are two technologies for road construction, a flexible one and a rigid one, and both of them have their advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage of rigid pavement lays on the fact that it doesn’t require higher financial expenditures within 30 years of exploitation (provided that necessary pavement maintenance treatments are carried out). In the case of flexible pavement it is necessary to mill the wear off layer of the road already after 9 years. It leads to the question: which of these technologies should be chosen, which one is better? The problem of the choice of technology for road building still remains to be unresolved. The work hereby carries on the analysis concerning a comparison of the technologies for road building; the flexible pavement and the rigid pavement. Based on the analysis carried out using the data normalization method it was found that the achieved values of synthetic coefficient for flexible and rigid pavements are close to each other which may indicate that both technologies are comparable within the sectors taken for analyses in relation to accepted technological-technical and usability features.

The aim of the article is to introduce the factors determining the careers of undergraduates of first-cycle full-time studies from the area of Podkarpackie Province based on panel survey. The analysis shows that careers are shaped multistage and the core factor is the type of university and the determinants of its choice, the economic situation of students’ families among the others. The more difficult the situation is the higher probability of starting work, it is less likely then to start work and studies, and the least likely to start only studying. What is more, it appears that undergraduate careers are determined not only by the fact whether the university is state or private, but also by the character of the school (PWSZ - The State School of Higher Professional Education, non-PWSZ). Although setting up a network of universities in Podkarpackie Province resulted in easier access to higher education, even for those from poor families, economical factors still differentiate the opportunities of continuing education on second-cycle studies. Thus economic barrier in access to education has not been completely removed, it has just been moved one level up. On the other hand though, one can notice that for some students the choice of university is determined by the ease of obtaining the diploma, which in turn is rewarded by the system of education with a higher possibility of continuing education. Therefore it is a functional factor, both on the individual and structural level (allows a great number of universities to operate).

In the article, the author presents the main theses of his Psychologia dążeń I skłonności zawodowych (Psychology of Vocational Strivings and Inclinations, Jarosiewicz, 2012). Empirically grounded, the study draws on career counselling practice, in particular on the provision of career diagnosis on the basis of multiplechoice tests (Achtnich, 2010). Analysing the assumptions behind such qualitative techniques, the author comes to distinguish the phenomenon of choice as such within a wider group of decision-making processes. He defi nes “choice” as settling on the object of wanting. Choice-making is informed by a person’s prior experiences and desires crystallized as strivings. A person tends to choose what s/he fi nds personally suitable, because the role of choice consists in subjective directing of one’s activity, that is in self-directing. The author contrasts the subjectivity of choices with the objectivity of decisions, and even with their objectivism in their role of directing things.

The paper aims at grasping Henryk Elzenberg’s thought on human condition on both social and universal level. By showing an individual in the world doomed to relations Elzenberg tries to analyse distortion and over-interpretations of impulses coming both from human psyche and from civilization. By stigmatization of the shallowness of life and omnipresent utilitarianism he wants to find an alternative to raise the man to higher level, to salvation. For this he proposes focusing on perfect values, independent from man. Noticing the difference between the nature of human and other creatures he highlights the role discovering one’s personal capacities and the necessity of gathering them in what is called culture. Setting as the demand the turn first in mind, related to deepening of self-consciousness, and then also spiritual, he sets alternative roads of experiencing the world, both that given in senses and alternative-one. All of his ideas are ways of building humanity to be more essential and rewarding.

Thesis. The aim of the paper is to interpret Kierkegaard's concept of repetition as a way of creating and experiencing authentic existence in an environment that is set up to repeat this same, inauthentic content of consciousness. Concept. Repetition is associated with determinism and represents social stagnation. Repetition creates the conditions for an inauthentic existence. The article offers an interpretation of Kierkegaard's concept of repetition, which is the repetition of another and produces authentic existence. Results and conclusions. Repetition automatically produces of the same. The repetition of one's choice of oneself is a process of creating spirit and individuality, which is a fundamental principle of authentic existence. Creating an authentic personality is one of the ways to solve the current crisis in society, which is associated with an inauthentic experience of existence, abdication of responsibility and repetition of lies. Cognitive value. The postmodern society associated with the use of the media is not the cause of social disorientation. It is a means that an individual uses to repeat the same. The social environment and magic themselves are not negative, the negative is the inauthentic attitude of a person to them.

This paper analyses CSR implementation - (Corporate Social Responsibility) in an enterprise as a strategy. In spite of the theoretical and practical applications, there are still methodological concerns regarding its use, particularly as a tool and business model. This paper identifies some important software projects for the promotion of CSR. The conditions were assessed in connection with strategy formulation and objective acceptance in terms of CSR. The results of own research regarding the perception of CSR are also presented and are beneficial for CSR adoption in practice. The search for an effective CSR consensus should be possible and plausible, especially as it relates to P. Drucker's view that "...public interest should be an enterprise's interest".

The topic of this paper is the foundation for individual rights proposed by David Gauthier in his seminal 1986 book Morals by Agreement, and particularly the role of conception of rationality in this foundation. The foundation of rights is a part of Gauthier’s broader enterprise: to ground morals in rationality – more specifically, in the economic conception of rationality. Because of the importance of this conception for the whole of Gauthier’s project, we reconstruct first the conception of rationality which can be found in decision theory and game theory, presenting simultaneously in a relatively non-technical way some basic concepts of the aforementioned disciplines. We proceed then to reconstruction of the foundation of rights itself – it turns on Gauthier’s interpretation of the so-called “Lockean proviso.” Lastly, we turn to the connection between rationality and foundation of rights. It is to be found in the narrow compliance – the disposition to enter only into cooperation which satisfies conditions of fairness set out in part by the Lockean proviso.

The article discusses lexical units chcąc nie chcąc and mimo woli, which are used in contemporary Polish. Firstly, the author justifies why she considers chcąc nie chcąc and mimo woli as lexical units. Later, she describes features of the expressions under discussion by showing restrictions in their lexical collocations. Among other things, the author investigates whether there is a component communicating necessity in the expression chcąc nie chcąc and whether the unit mimo woli refers to a moment preceding the initation of an action. The analysis conducted in the article shows that when we describe an activity with the expression mimo woli, we declare that somebody did not decide on initating it. Whereas the expression chcąc nie chcąc, states that something caused a given action and that it was not the will of the person who initiated it to do so. At the end of the article, the author presents the semantic explications of the expressions studied.

Francis Bacon virtually limits liberty to scientific activity, to the right to choose from the largest possible number of alternatives. This makes science morę creative. Bacon suggests that going beyond the limits of liberty may expose us to danger from the world of politics. This is why Bacon recommends conformism in social life despite the revolutionary naturę of his discoveries.

In this paper, the concepts of need, choice, and responsibility in the context of the Israeli housing market are explored and analysed. These concepts are significant for the understanding of the interaction between households and government intervention on both private and public housing markets. The following question is formulated: Should the government identify the housing needs and intervene in the free market? And if so, to what degree? In previous years, by adopting the privatization policy, the Israeli government has limited its involvement in the free housing market as well as in public housing. As a result, housing prices have increased significantly since the 2008 subprime crisis. These changes have forced the government to redefine the housing needs and government intervention while maintaining the freedoms and households’ abilities to make their own choices. The author of the article concludes that the government should limit its intervention and allow individuals to define their own needs, to ensure a genuine freedom of choice, and to express the responsibility that comes with it.

The present study examined the effect of negative emotional stimulus intensity (low versus high) on the choice of emotion regulation (ER) strategy when a person wants to control their emotional expression, and the impact of this choice on how the information accompanying emotional stimuli is remembered. The effects of emotional stimulus intensity on the choice of ER strategy were examined in two studies. In both studies, the participants (unaware of the differences in the intensity of stimuli) were asked to view images inducing negative emotions of high and low intensity and to choose which strategy (cognitive reappraisal or expressive suppression) they would use in order to control their emotional expression. In addition, in Study 2, the authors tested the memory of the verbal content accompanying the emotional stimuli that appeared during the ER period. As expected, the participants chose reappraisal over suppression when confronted with low-intensity stimuli. In contrast, when confronted with high-intensity stimuli, they chose suppression over reappraisal. The results of Study 2 revealed that memory accuracy was higher for those images that the participants chose to use reappraisal rather than suppression.

Purpose: The main purpose of this article was to explore main factors of choice of private medical services by Polish patients. Design/methodology/approach: In the theoretical part of the article, the current situation in health care sector in Poland was discussed. Also, based on the literature authors introduced their own classification of factors of choice of private medical services. The empirical research was conducted in August 2021. Finally, 122 participants were included in a research sample. Findings: The biggest number of respondents indicated the availability of appointments as the most fundamental aspect. Also, the study revealed other factors, especially choosing a particular physician, previous positive experiences, the transparency of treatment and the quality of care as important for patient’s choice. Research limitations/implications: Research was limited to the private sector which results from the fact that its share on the market grows and is increasingly popular among foreigners. It is worth considering to further deepen the research including studying factors in public health care sector to compare them or to expand the research group to a larger population. Due to technical development forced by recent epidemiological situation of SARS-CoV-2019 pandemic, also it is worth to include telemedicine into future studies. Practical implications: Private sector operates on the laws of economy which allow the implication of research findings to gain competitive advantage in areas which are most important for patients treated as customers. Outcomes of this article have practical implications for private medical entities. They could enhance operation areas which were chosen by patients. Social implications: Polish health care sector is one of the national economy segments. Providing access to medical services for citizens is one of important government’s activities. In case of insufficient access, private sector may be able to support public health care system. Originality/value: It is crucial to conduct such a research among Polish patients because these factors may differ due to a particular country and its specific determinants like political solutions, culture, functioning of health care system, types of medical insurance and other specific conditions. Moreover, in the theoretical part of the article, authors built their own classification of factors of choice of private medical services.
