Argument z ukrytości a religia ewolucyjna Johna L. Schellenberga Sieczkowski, Tomasz In this short essay, I discuss Schellenberg's hiddenness argument and try to answer the question of whether it can be treated as an argument for atheism. Juxtaposing it with the concept of skeptical evolutionary religion developed by the Canadian philosopher, I show that instead of proving the non-existence of God, what this argument does is rather opening the possibility of articulating a new vision of religiosity, appropriate for our species place in evolutionary time.

Zupełnie inaczej. Nad książką Nekrofilna produkcja akademicka i pieśni partyzantów Oskara Szwabowskiego Kruszelnicki, Michał; Kruszelnicki, Wojciech The article comments the stronger and the more disputable points of Oskar Szwabowski’s book Necrofiliac Academic Production and the Songs of Partisans (2019). The authors engage in a polemics with the assertion that autoethnography is able to depict more efficiently than other scientific discourses the reality of the university after the neo-liberal reforms. We also oppose „the workers’ perspective” as promoted by O. Szwabowski, which is to replace the traditional view of the university as an elitist site and of the faculty as a particularly privileged class. Further, the article points out at certain shortcomings of theoretical Marxism which O. Szwabowski uses to criticize and envision the change of the functioning of the academic milieu along with the transformation of the very way we perceive social research – from an individualistic and competetive perspective, to one that is collective and geared in social engagement and intervention. Ultimately, we charge Oskar Szwabowski with an inconsistency which amounts to a contradiction between his notorious call upon academics to realize that the university has become a mass-production company, and the faculty have been turned into the new proletariat, and his resonant grievance upon the poor conditions of work therein.

Uprawnienia indywidualne w filozofii politycznej Roberta Nozicka Saar, Marcin With respect to Robert Nozick’s political philosophy (as it is to be found in Anarchy, State, and Utopia), one of the most prominent theses is the one that asserts that in Nozick’s mind individual rights are founded on the principle of self-ownership - the principle that says that all individuals have, with regard to themselves, rights identical with (or parallel to) rights of property. In this paper we want to focus on slightly different interpretation of Nozick’s thought. First, we summarize Nozick’s account of rights: its main points being the individual being proper subject of rights and the nature of rights as side-constraints. Then we turn our attention to the metnioned interpretation itself. It was proposed by Mark D. Friedman, and it synthesizes Nozick’s insights on this topic scattered throughout his book. It focuses on argument “from moral form to moral content” (from the fact that the form of morality includes side-constraints to the content of libertarian constraint against aggression) suggested by Nozick and on features in virtue of which persons have rights - this features being free will, rationality, moral agency and ability to live one’s life according to some general conception of it.

Względna identyczność Petera Geacha a koncepcja różnicy w filozofii Gilles'a Deleuze'a Kociołek, Kamil; Sonek, Robert The area in which the philosophy attributed to the "analytic" tradition turns out to consider similar problems as the "continental" thinkers still seems to be too little explored. The aim of the work is to indicate such similarities between the Peter Geach’s concept of relative identity and the Gilles Deleuze’s concept of difference. According to Geach, identity is mediated in concepts. We think about the identity of "a" and "b" only in the sentence "a is the same X as b". The consequences of this observation are twofold: on the one hand, it shows the degree of our entanglement in conceptual grids; on the other, it shows a being as a dynamic, relational structure. In this aspects, this perspective agrees with Deleuze's proposal. A being is an ambiguous intersection of dynamic relations expressed in the sentence "a is different from b", whereas the identity is an effect of totalitarian thought movement which reduces differences by imposing static conceptual categories on their dynamic system. We are going to present the ontological view on identity question which synthesizes two mentioned conceptions and include a polemical characterization of difficulties implied by discussed perspective and their consequences for practical functioning in the world.
