"Conceptualizing" is developed as a method* of revealing, sorting and representing the meaning that is undisclosed in the old philosophical metaphors and in the symbolizations we make in our everyday life. The study rests on the understanding that in the nucleus of the metaphors lie concepts, or stored meaning able to represent itself anew or, to give birth to further theories."Conceptualizing" works as an apparatus made of three macroelements. Conceptualizing "as technique" represents, points or hints at the hidden meaning. It does this with the help of the seeking self, which refers to and actively evokes this "sleeping meaning". Finally, the layer from which the meaning is dug up is called by Charles Peirce "effete mind". I use this notion in a much broader and modified sense. An undivided part of any sign is its iconic nature. To recover meaning from the sign, the iconicity needs to be conceptualised too.

This book was triggered by the recent geopolitical shifts and the turn towards an allegedly post-factual era.An Orderly Mess is a timely diagnosis of the current dissolution of the modern order, while highlighting the opportunities of messiness. The essay focuses on the temporal and spatial dimensions in which messiness becomes apparent today: broken time lines and fragmented spaces. Messiness is framed by a blurring of the world orderings inherited from modernity. Against the backdrop of rapid digitalization, we may find ourselves again in a phase of transition toward new ways of world ordering. The focus on messiness reveals the different patterns of order and disorder that underpin the current process of transition.In the second half of the volume the author revisits her 1989 book on Eigenzeit, which explored how moderns experience time, or are exposed to it. A quarter century later she finds that the new inventions of technology have challenged the traditional meaning of time (and also of space) even more, increasing the non-simultaneity of human existence. Today, small devices channel into one’s fingertips medial eigenzeit: the time that one has to oneself in order to spend it with those who are absent. The past has shrunk and the present extends to the future: “there is no pre¬determined future, only a future that is as radically open as it is inherently uncertain.”

The book offers a comprehensive and intertwined view of the key philosophical questions that appear in contemporary physics. It combines a historiographic approach to describing the development of individual phenomena with a deeper analysis of selected problems, with an emphasis on their relationship to specific historical contexts. It reflects the themes of the methodology of physics, space-time and anthropic principle, drawing attention to both classical problems, and also to the thought shift in science after 1905, which are associated with quantum physics and general theory of relativity, but also with the expansion of space or the process of solutions to paradoxes in science. It is not only an excursion into the history of human thinking in the field of physics, but it deals with a number of contemporary problems. The publication can find an original discussion of the relation between dark matter and energy and the anthropic principle, a critical analysis of the final anthropic principle or its own definition. The text is the most comprehensive discussion of philosophical questions of physics available in Czech.

The volume shows the diversity and richness of intellectual potential, which Marek J. Siemek used in his original idea of “social transcendence”. The idea can be compared with the transcendence of the discourse socially “placed” by Habermas and with the post-metaphysical rationality models from McCarthy to Brandom. It allows to answer such questions as: what reason and rationality is needed for the process of modern socialization to take place, and if it possible today for the “givers” and the “takers” to approve the rules of self-government having the same autonomy and within the same law which is expressed by the Kantian “transcendental unity of apperception”.

The author considers the consequences of the departure from philosophies that refer to the concept of the absolute, i.e. metaphysical philosophies, and the turn towards formulating a philosophy that is only concerned with the sphere of finitude. The author portrays the development of the modern understanding of philosophy in the works of Feuerbach, Kierkegaard, James, and Dewey. He discusses the different forms of the philosophy of finitude from the perspective of hermeneutics, the Frankfurt School, as well as post-structuralist and postmodern philosophy. The author surveys the accomplishments of Derrida and Deleuze.

The last volume of the three-part series comprising works of professor Krzysztof Maurin – an eminent mathematician, the founder of the Polish School of Mathematical Physics, a philosopher and thinker – contains texts taken from the Author’s notes. It includes, among others, such chapters as:The Thinkers of the Eranos’ circle: Pauli, Jung, CorbinMeeting Lars GardingMeeting Hans Count LehndorffCarl Friedrich von WeizsäckerThe Mystery of A Meeting. The chapters discuss the figures who were of utmost importance for Krzysztof Maurin. Why did he write about his meetings with them? The Professor used to say that a disciple does not have to search for the master, because when he matures, the master will appear. One cannnot help but wonder that the Author met these, not other, outstanding people.

This collection delves into the ongoing debates spanning decades on the intricate interplay between posthumanism, the posthuman age, and education. Featuring authors from diverse backgrounds and theoretical perspectives, the chapters explore a spectrum of themes – from technophilia to technophobia, transhumanism to humanism, and Bildung tradition to new materialism – illuminating key dimensions of education in what is heralded as a new and distinct era.At the heart of these discussions is an exploration of whether this era truly marks a radical departure and how it influences educational practices. The chapters offer arguments both supporting and challenging these ideas, advocating for critical reflection and a fresh perspective on human experience and contemporary education. The collection suggests a creative and considerate approach to children’s learning and learning with children, which would not only respond to the challenges of imposed circumstances but also suggest active work on the desirable construction of new ones.
