PODMIOTY ŁADU PUBLICZNEGO I PROBLEM MANIPULACJI SEMANTYCZNYCH
ENTITIES OF PUBLIC ORDER AND THE PROBLEM OF SEMANTIC MANIPULATION

Summary/Abstract: This paper proposes a typology of entities of public order, including international governance, and argues in favor of the central role of free human persons in the architecture of public life. Attention is drawn to the difference between a morally qualified person and an officially registered statistical unit. In the face of contemporary semantic manipulations resulting from the substitution of natural communities by nurturing institutions, the need for precise use of conceptual categories is pointed out. Selected alternative proposals for dealing with institutional gigantomania and civilizational overstimulation are discussed, and in the Polish case, two attempts to manipulate national heritage, reported from the ideological positions of modernist imitation, are exposed.
