The idea of civil society has undergone a renaissance in recent years, but missing from this literature is an explanation for its historical transformation in meaning. Originally civil society was synonymous with political society, but the common modem meaning emphasizes autonomy from the state. This paper traces this historical transformation within the context of the history of ideas, and suggests that the critical event was an eighteenth-century reaction against the rationalistic universalism associated with the French Enlightenment. The continued significance of the question of universalism is suggested by the fact that universalistic Marxist Leninist theories provided the ideological underpinnings for the destruction of civil society in Eastern European nations. The paper concludes that three elements are essential to the modern understanding of civil society: its autonomy from the state, its interdependence with the state, and the pluralism of values, ideals and ways of life embodied in its institutions.

The article analyzes opinion makers' wiews on alcohol policy by way of textual reception analysis. The material is based on two editorials and their interpretations. One of the editorials is an argument defending a (neo)liberal alcohol policy. It describes the reality as one in which citizens feel hostility towards the State because it is preventing the emergence of a civil society and the development of independent, cultivated ways of drinking through its two-faced paternalistic approach. The second editorial is in favour of a regulated welfare state alcohol policy. Here the reality is seen as one in which the State spreads the common good and maintains social order and solidarity between citizens through means provided by scientific know-how. Fifty-five influential people (local authorities, trade unionists, journalists etc.) from Lahti, a medium-size city in southern Finland, contributed their interpretations of the two texts. The analysis of their textual reception reveals that the liberal rhetoric convinces them much more successfully than the pro-welfare state argument. More than two-thirds of them interpreted the (neo)liberal argument as more credible and truthful. The author suggests that the result reflects the opinion makers' wishes for a civil society, in which the freedom of choice of the consumer prevails.

This article is an overview of a project that aims to study the way in which colloquial Polish is used to verbalise the state of being obese. The innovation of this project is the attempt to comprehensively study the problem by including both how being obese is evaluated from the perspective of slim people and the individual experience of people who are obese. Rather than speaking, the obese are usually spoken of (by slim people). There is a dominant group of slim people that draws up the conditions of discourse, enacts symbolic violence against obese people, and imposes a particular way of verbalising the state of being obese. This project is intended to overcome this dominance, aiming to not only study texts that are authored by slim people, but also give the floor to obese people, with the aim of objectivising the phenomenon. The problem of verbalising obesity is contemporaneous and emotionally biased. The significant progress in elucidating the causes and consequences of obesity that has taken place over the last two decades has not led to a change in the perception of obesity in colloquial language. In the common consciousness of Polish speakers, an obese person disturbs the culturally established sense of aesthetics of a human body. Obese people are perceived as alien, worse, uglier, lazy, less intelligent, and incongruous when compared with the ideal image of people who are healthy, lean, and successful. The project envisions excerpting lexemes and metaphors used to describe obesity from dictionaries, fiction, public discourse (periodicals, TV programmes), and interviews with obese people. The result of the work will be an inventory – a database with a specific template for describing a unit. An important part of each unit will be information on the axiological and semantic features of the lexemes and metaphors presented in the form of a thematic category code. The project is based on the cognitive theory of metaphor of G. Lakoff, the method of removal of metaphors from text of B. Fatyga and P. Zieliński, the theory of cognitive definition of J. Bartmiński, and the method of studying the personal language of values of J. Puzynina.

This article examines the relationship between religion and the state, focusing on cases of establishment in which one religion is formally recognized. Arguing that religious establishment is wrong if it causes some citizens to feel alienated, we reject the criticism that feelings of alienation are too subjective a foundation for a robust normative case about establishment. We base our argument on an account of collective identities, which may have an ‘inside’ but are also subject to a process of othering in which a dominant group imposes an identity on a subordinate group. The establishment of a religion may contribute to othering, and the othered group may consequently be alienated from the state. However, since establishment does not always cause alienation, it is necessary to seek evidence and engage in a dialogue in order to understand a group’s own account of its experience of its situation.
