SPECIFIČNOSTI ORGANIZACIONOG DIZAJNIRANJA PORODIČNIH PREDUZEČA

Author(s): Mehmed Meta / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 01/2012

Keywords: Family business; organizational design; organizational structure; company performance; managerial; proprietary and business subsystem of family business

It is an undisputable fact that the backbone of leading global economies are family businesses and that they pave the roads and pace of their development. For these reasons, the phenomenon of family businesses has become an interesting fact for research for the scientific and professional community, their advantages and disadvantages compared to alternative forms of ownership, the institutional model of their organization, the problems of their establishment and functioning of specific modalities and organizational structures, which these companies favour. All companies today face increasingly uncertain business conditions, regardless of their size, type of ownership, the level of their development, the nature of activities they are involved, their age etc., causing numerous problems. Although family businesses, which have a very long historical tradition, and which constitute the dominant form of ownership of organization and management companies not only in transition economies, but also in highly developed countries, there is a rich economic literature treating the problem of family businesses. The aim of this paper is by analysing the problem of specific approach in organizational design of family businesses to encourage some research in this direction.

Joseph Maréchal’s interpretation of the “clear vision of God” in mystic doctrine of Thomas Aquinas

Josepha Maréchala interpretacja „jasnego widzenia Boga” w doktrynie mistycznej Tomasza z Akwinu

Author(s): Aleksander Bańka / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 29/2011

Keywords: mysticism; cognition; God; essence; ecstasy; Thomas Aquinas

Joseph Maréchal, Belgian mysticism scholar, broadly recognized for his contribution to transcendental Thomism and acclaimed as the greatest systematician of the mystic concept of clear vision of God, raised the question on the possibility of seeing the essence of God during earthly life. According to Maréchal, Aquinas, on the ground provided by Augustine, Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and other Christian authors, takes this kind of vision as a special kind of intellectual intuition strengthened by the influence of God’s light and made possible (even if, unlike the case of visio beatifica, incomplete) admiration gone in man’s soul. What is then the nature of this clear vision? What makes it different from other kinds of mystic experience? To answer these question is the aim of the paper.

Contradiction and time in recentivism

Sprzeczność i czas w systemie recentywizmu

Author(s): Józef Bańka / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 29/2011

Keywords: recentivism; disscusive logic; sermonism; present time; statement; contradiction

The paper draws upon so-called disscusive logic which does not refute the principle of contradiction directly, but accepts contradicting statements of different parties of the discourse or of the same subject but in different time. On the ground of recentivism every statement contrary to the system is sifted through the axiology of the system in a recentiori mode. That is, it is rejected by the system just as it falls into contradiction in the moment of being expressed (sermo). In short: the moment of expression eliminates contradiction in the content, for according to recentivist epistemology the description of an event is not true or false in general, but in the present time only and it changes its truthfulness with the time.

The debate on the method of philosophy at the turn of XX century

Spór o metodę w filozofii przełomu XIX i XX wieku

Author(s): Andrzej J. Noras / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 29/2011

Keywords: Max Scheler; Leonard Nelson; method; neokantianism; criticism

The starting point of the analysis provided in this paper is a discussion of how philosophical method is understood by Leonard Nelson who draws upon the lines of Jakob Friedrich Fries. From this perspective Nelson points out two ways of argumentation, two methods or standpoints: metaphysical and anthropological, objective-one and subjective-one, critical and genetic, epistemological and psychological or transcendental and psychological. These distinctions find their justification in concepts by philosophers with which Nelson polimicizes defending Fries’ standpoint: Kuno Fischer, Paul Natorp, Wilhelm Windelband, Carl Stumpf and Max Scheler. On the ground of analysis of their conceptions Nelson argues that admittedly they follow Kant, yet Kant — unlike Fries — has not included the psychological aspect of cognition.

Lebensphilosophie on the essence of humanity Anthropological motifs in philosophy of Henri Bergson

Filozofia życia wobec pytania o istotę człowieczeństwa Wątki antropologiczne w koncepcji filozoficznej Henri Bergsona

Author(s): Marta Ples-Bęben / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 29/2011

Keywords: Henri Bergson; Lebensphilosophie (philosophy of life); anthropological reflection; lasting

The paper deals with the philosophy of Henri Bergson (1859—1941) taken from the perspective of anthropological themes it contains. The aim of the paper is to point out in what way in Bergson’s theory two dimensions of humanity are interlinked. On the one hand, the man is presented as social being, creating smaller or larger social structures naturally and doomed to believe in what is irrational in equally natural way. On the other hand, Bergson raises a question about the basis of personality and consciousness of individual, and in relation with the broad framework of his theory of lasting, he takes every man as related in the very heart of his being with the whole world around.

Keywords: violence; anesthetization; adiaphorization; Zygmunt Bauman

Basis of Plotinus’ critique of Aristotle’s theory of categories

Podstawy Plotyńskiej krytyki teorii kategorii Arystotelesa

Author(s): Agnieszka Woszczyk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 29/2011

Keywords: categories; being; substance; properties; kosmos noetos; kosmos aisthetos

The paper is devoted to analysis of the critique of Aristotelian theory of categories from Enneads, its main arguments and the relation of Plotinus’ theory of the kinds of sense world (kosmos aistheotos) to Aristotle’s categories. According to Plotinus, Aristotelian notion of categories is not a relevant tool of grasping the being in adequate sense, that is, as noetic being. The main argument is focused on the category of substance. There is a difference between how the problem of the kinds of beings is understood in Enn. VI 1 [42] and in Enn. VI 3 [44]. In the latter a basis for taking into account a modified form of Aristotelian categories as acceptable way of predicating of changeable sensual objects can be pointed out.

Scotian inspirations in Immanuel Kant’s transcendentalism

Szkotowe inspiracje w transcendentalizmie Immanuela Kanta

Author(s): Jacek Surzyn / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 29/2011

Keywords: scientia transcendens; thing-in-itself; realism; epistemology; metaphysics; objective-metaphysical transcendentalism; subjective-epistemological transcendentalism; formal logic transcedetnalism

The paper deals with important problem of a parallel between the notion of transcendentalism in Johan Duns Scotus and Immanuel Kant. For it might be argued that it is possible to point out at least some Scotian inspirations in Kant. Kant worked in the intellectual atmosphere influenced by Scotus, especially his notion of metaphysics as transcendental science (scientia transcendens), followed then by F. Suarez and Ch. Wolff, and the latter had a great influence on Kant. This paper provides a set of arguments from indirect proofs based on the parallel in Scotus and Kant. Despite of the fact that in cases like this one it is impossible to call for certainty, the conclusions seem to be hard to invalidate.

Naturalism, antinaturalism and meta-ethics

Naturalizm, antynaturalizm i metaetyka

Author(s): Jan Woleński / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 29/2011

Keywords: David Hume; naturalism; antinaturalism; meta-ethics; cognitivism; emotivism

The paper deals with dispute between naturalism and antinaturalism in meta-ethics. Different standpoints are discussed, especially those of cognitivism, non-cognitivism and emotivism, which leads to certain typology. The author introduces the category of bonitive statements, statements concerning the good, which logic is analogous to the one which determinates relations between deontic statemens. Generalized Hume’s argument on the axiological statements as impossible to be derived from non-axiological is concerned. In particular, it is argued that it does not support antinaturalistic thesis. The standpoint of axiological presentationism is proposed, which makes a link between non-cognitivism and the thesis according to which bonitive statements can be true or false and axiological presentationism can taken as a form of naturalism.
