This book presents a new perspective on the importance of social sciences through various studies held by the authors. The contributors to this book are researchers in the departments of Archaeology, Ethnology and Folklore, History, Culture and Tourism Management of Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra.
The aim of the study is to describe the ambiguity of the term legal ethics in the context of different traditions and conceptions. On that base, a theory of critical legal ethics is developed. It is examined, whether chosen legal-philosophical conceptions contain any legal ethics conceptions and what could be the research program of legal ethics.
The book is a contribution to the ongoing discussion and research on civil society in the context of normative democratic theory and democratization in East-Central Europe. It offers a novel approach to some of the key issues in that debate including corruption and democratic consolidation, active citizenship, civic unity and the rule of law.
This book is a collection of essays, weaving together cognitive psychology, psycho-linguistics, developmental psychology, modern philosophy and behavioural sciences. It raises the question, how grammar relates to our remarkable ability to cooperate for future needs and how our thought process is related to grammatical parameters.
The treatment of Descartes' philosophy within this book takes it to be a specific instance of rationalism. Descartes gave the human intellect the central role in this system; thus, it is considered a variant of an intellectual rationalism.
Paternalism interferes with a person's liberty or autonomy to promote the person's good or to protect him from self-harm. The aim of this book is to critically evaluate the conceptual and justificatory models related to paternalism in the context of moral philosophy. Analysis of selected legal cases complements the theoretical investigation.
The study attempts to theorize philosophical influence as a research focus on the dependence and inter-dependence between ideas and concepts by the examples of Schopenhauer, Dostoevsky, Nietzsche and Cioran. As a methodological tool, philosophical influence helps to figure out the particularity of the philosopher's contribution to the tradition.
The human world is an area of countless places and spaces. The authors describe and analyze those different spaces as well as the social relations created within them. They classify types of relations and observe the functioning of neighborly relations, relationships on social networks, at home, or in museums.
This book provides explanations of institutional factors that contribute to the fact that sociology is haunted by theoretical dichotomies. Drawing on Foucault, Latour, Collins and others, the author presents possible ways that could lead sociology out of the theoretical field. These ways are dominated by the anthropological paradox.
This book is an empirical study of a central European city focused on the political process. The book aims at presenting political practices as a form of the political in the institutional and civic sphere of the city. The cases provided focus on the issues of the urban symbolic sphere, architecture, sports, subcultures and urban movements.
The aim of the book is to outline and discuss a way of thinking about the limits of juristic power. In terms of research methodology, the authors¿ approach entails relating the topography of such limits to selected theoretical frameworks developed within the Polish sociological tradition. The argument draws, above all, on the works of Leon Petraz¿ycki, Jerzy Lande, Bronis¿aw Wróblewski, Adam Podgórecki, Florian Znaniecki, Jacek Szmatka, and Piotr Sztompka. Striving to have each aspect shed light on the other, the authors seek out theoretical arguments which support their account of these limits. They present their model of the limits of juristic power, which includes the following constitutive factors: 1) politico-legal culture, 2) legal texts, 3) juristic culture, and 4) subjective factors (i.e. an individual, axiological sense rooted in ethical and aesthetic judgments)
The discussion of Lipset-Rokkan's theory of cleavages leads to the conclusion that communism left behind the post-communist cleavage. The cleavage manifested itself in electoral behavior, the party system, and the attitudes of party elites. The author considers whether the post-communist cleavage will survive in Poland.
