<p class="NormalWeb1">Epistemological theory which is considered to be the fundamental philosophy of cognition process, reveals itself as a possibility justification in a supra-individual, supra-personal, impersonal, transsubjective form, taking into consideration the content of objective knowledge. Epistemology also builds a cognitive drama as a stage action to achieve it. The purpose of the article is outlined in stage-by-stage consideration of the procedure for constituting the knowledge truth by social symbolic forms and exploring the contexts for the implantation of the cognition products into the cultural frame. The leading method in constituting truth is clarified through epistemological modeling of the ontogenetic and phylogenetic context of the of symbolic categorical forms formation and is comprehended through the operational and interactive aspect. The results of epistemological analysis are as follows: 1) at the micro level, the truth is positioned in the conceptual grid as "pragmatic coherence"; 2) at the macro level, truth is positioned in the conceptual grid as "practical correspondence"; 3) at the mega level, truth is positioned not as a process, but as an accomplished present state: the subject is absorbed not in searching, but staying in the truth. The significance of the research results seems to be that the driving force of mental activity is a constructive combination. Cognitive morphogenesis is carried out as a free combination of symbolic forms, governed by the rules of experimenting on own resources, the result of which is the development of the individual spiritual world. The lever is the logic of "the generation of meanings through the discrimination of meanings," which triggers autonomous autocatalytic processes.</p>

The article shows the essence of interpersonal conflicts. This conflict considered as problematic for its carrier state that: 1) is extremely important, and certainly associated with the choice between alternatives equal in strength for him (even if the alternatives are not understood); 2) subjectively experienced as a insoluble problem and so is extremely, uncomfortable, tense, frustration and painful feelings about their inferiority; 3) tends to deepen, strengthening, totalization andno adaptivecourse. Analyzed and summarized a some number of scientific concepts about interpersonal conflicts and understanding of its basic type described in professional literature. The features of the subject of interpersonal conflict in conflictology, total, practical and clinical psychology are shown and the model of interdisciplinary study this conflicts are proposed. The attention to constructive (adaptive) and unconstructive (no adaptive) intrapersonal conflicts is accented. The features of intrapersonal conflicts in the area of the individual motivation are shown. Particular attention is paid to motivating interpersonal conflicts with non-adaptive and destructive forms of current. Features of no adaptive motivational conflict and possible consequences of these conflicts for intrapersonal and interpersonal (social) life of a person are shown.

Historically, the field of ethnomusicology has tended to neglect the lives and work of individual musicians in favour of a view of music as culture, a disciplinary perspective that has assumed the homogeneity of the world's cultures. Contesting this erasure of the musical subject, biographical micro-histories situate the individual at the centre of music studies. Accordingly, the subject of this article is a self-identified ‘local’ jazz musician, whose narrative elucidates the exigencies of his musical and social life. One of the music's ‘lesser lives’, ‘LC’ is typical of those players who negotiate the contested terrain of jazz scenes peripheral to the jazz world's centre, New York City. The explication of his musical aesthetic and its influence upon his self-image as a jazz musician is directed toward a more representative view of jazz than that of institutionalised histories, which promulgate a ‘Great Man’ narrative. Incorporating contemporary discourse and critical race theories as alternatives to traditional modes of aesthetic inquiry, this study unpacks issues related to musical and social dialogism and signification, ‘voice’ and identity, and race and masculinity as a means of illuminating those criteria deemed crucial by a particular musician in his search for existential meaning and a jazz truth.

The sublime as an aesthetic category has an extraordinarily discontinuous history in Western criticism and theory, though the phenomena it points to in art and nature are without historical limit, or virtually so. The sublime as a concept and phenomenon is harder to define than many aesthetic concepts, partly because of its content and partly because of the absence of a definition in the first great surviving text on the subject, Longinus’s On the Sublime. The sublime is inflected differently in the major theorists: in Longinus it produces ecstasy or transport in the reader or listener; in Burke its main ingredient is terror (but supplemented by infinity and obscurity); and in Kant’s bifurcated system of the mathematical and dynamic sublime, the former entails a cognitive overload, a breakdown of the imagination, and the ability to represent, whereas in the latter, the subject, after first being threatened, virtually, by powerful nature outside her or him, turns inward to discover a power of reason able to think beyond the realm of the senses. Many theorists testify to the effect of transcendence or exaltation of the self on the far side of a disturbing, disorienting experience that at least momentarily suspends or even annihilates the self. A great deal in the theoretical-critical texts turns on the force of singularly impressive examples, which may or may not exceed the designs of the theoretical axioms they are meant to exemplify. Examples of sublimity are by no means limited to nature and art but spill over into numerous domains of cultural and social life. The singular force of the individual examples, it is argued, nonetheless tends to work out similarly in certain genres conducive to the sublime (epic, tragedy) but somewhat differently from one genre to another. The heyday of the theory and critical engagement with the sublime lasts, in Western Europe and a little beyond, from the late 17th century to the early 19th century. But it does not simply go away, with sublime aesthetic production and critical reflection on the sublime present in the likes of Baudelaire, Nietzsche, and—to Adorno’s mind—in the art of modernism generally, in its critical swerve from the canons of what had counted as beauty. The sublime flourished as a topic in theory of criticism of the poststructuralist era, in figures such as Lyotard and Paul de Man but also in Fredric Jameson’s analysis of the cultural logic of late capitalism. The then current drive to critique the principle and some protocols of representation found an almost tailor-made topic in Enlightenment and Romantic theory of the sublime where, within philosophy, representation had been rendered problematic in robust fashion.

This text is a part of a longer elaboration concerning the humanistic bases of the theories of team sports. The notion“sports games” refers to team sports, which are most popular in our culture (in Poland): volleyball, basketball,football and handball.Team sports are a very interesting matter for the observation, how the integrated human teams function. Sport, as aconstituent of social life, is liable to the principles and rules, which are similar to the ones we may observe in ambientreality. Willing to explain and describe those phenomena, we should reach for the knowledge from the subject fieldof social sciences; in this case — concerning the collective behaviours.In this analysis I took into consideration the opinions about the functioning of human communities — the opinionsformulated by G. Le Bon (1996), W. McDougall (1920), S. Freud (2000) and selected conceptions from contemporaryAmerican psychology concerning the relations between the individual and the group. In this context I emphasized areflection about the necessity of proper stimulation, when the development of an individual is concerned, which meansthe change towards the individualization of training in team sports. The character of this text is strictly theoreticalbut it is also an attempt to accentuate the importance of the knowledge of a team’s morphology and the relationsbetween an individual and other members of a team for sports practice. This knowledge is a substantial (but usuallyunderrated) element of the trainer’s work.Keywords: team sports, collective behaviours, philosophy, psychology of sport, role of trainer, team building.

The article presents socio-psychological analysis of the phenomenon of social status, which is not seen as a sociological category, but as a component of the image of the object of learning. The author hypothesized that social status defined by another person depends on a number of the social object indicators (gender, age and socio-demographic criteria) and the characteristics of the subject of learning (gender, age, job, self-evaluations on various parameters). The study involved 141 people (83 female, 58 male, aged 18 to 30 years, mean=23). Methodological tools were the method of questionnaires and interviews with stimulus material. The author identified the components of the social status phenomenon and characteristics of the object and the subject of learning that are important for determining the position of the individual in society. Features of the social status assessment in the original perception were determined. The obtained data can be used in the educational process for determining group structure in the students of higher educational institutions, high-status and low-status members, as well as for understanding the value structures and important components in the social life of young people.

Aunque el concepto del libre desarrollo de la personalidadse posiciona distintamente en los ordenamientos constitucionalesalemán y español, respectivamente como derecho fundamentaly como principio rector, el contenido del mismo no tiene por quédiferenciarse. Contextualizando estas referencias con otras legislacionesnacionales, disposiciones internacionales, con la jurispruden-cia, la doctrina y las reflexiones extrajurídicas para la interpretaciónlingüística (literal), el artículo busca descubrir los rasgos universalesdel dicho concepto y desglosar su contenido con el fin de ofreceruna acepción jurídica vasta adaptable comúnmente en cualquiersistema legal que reconozca el valor de la composición libre y plenade la personalidad del individuo, así como también evaluar las ventajassociales de la protección jurídica explicita del bien (valor) dellibre desarrollo personal. Se llega a la conclusión que el significadodel concepto del libre desarrollo de la personalidad a parte de relacionarsecon la libertad de acción del sujeto, es decir de expresarselibremente en la esfera externa y de iniciación y mantenimiento derelaciones sociales exentas de intromisiones, impedimentos y autocensura(la protección de la vida privada y social), consiste en poderdesarrollar libremente y plenamente la esfera interna de lo psíquico,intelectual, cognitivo, artístico, emocional y espiritual de la persona.Although the concept of the free development of thepersonality is distinctly positioned in the German and Spanish constitutionalorder, respectively as the fundamental right and the guidingprinciple, its meaning does not have to be differentiated. Contextualizingthese references within other national legislations andinternational law for the systematic interpretation and within jurisprudence,doctrine and extrajudicial reflections for the linguistic(literal) interpretation, the article seeks to discover the universalfeatures of this concept and break down its content trying to givea vast and common juridical meaning suitable for any legal systemthat recognizes the importance of the free and complete compositionof the personality of the individual, as well as to evaluate the socialadvantages of the explicit legal protection of the good (value) ofthe free personal development. It is concluded that the meaning ofthe concept of the free development of the personality besides relatingitself to the freedom of action of the subject, i.e. the right to expressyourself freely in the outer sphere and the initiation and maintenanceof social relationships free of interferences, impedimentsand self-censorship (the respect for private and social life), consistsof the right to the development of the inner (personal) sphere of thepsychic, intellectual, cognitive, artistic, emotional and spiritual nature.

The article presents and analyzes a three-level model of a self-designing personality (“plagiarist”, “reader”, “author”) and describes the psychological characteristics of the subject of self-designing on each of them. In the optics of the psycho-hermeneutic approach, the conception of discursive technology as a communicative- and -semiotic process is proposed. The process provides storage, accumulation, transformation, translation and retranslation of the value-semantic resource incorporated into certain sign-symbolic forms, in particular, in a wide range of sociocultural and personal texts. It is shown that discursive technologies at each of the selected self-designing levels have an expressed specificity, due to the methods of the individual experience organizing, the text objectification of this experience, sense-formation strategies and understanding procedures. The basic discursive technology at the level of "plagiarist" is the statement. The technology of transition to the “reader” level is an informational dialogue, in the process of which the topic of statements is explicated, which, in turn, starts the process of structuring, framing the individual “vital material” and creating narrative constructs. The narrative becomes the main discursive technology of the personality at the “reader” level. To go to the optional “author” level a personality has to master the technology of semantic dialogue, during which the creation of auto-narratives takes place. At the “author” level, thanks to a certain value-semantic “logic” of the auto-narratives integration into a single semantic whole, a personality vital product is born. The leitmotif appears the backbone of the product, as well as the means of navigation of the personality within it. It is generalized that the discursive technologies of personality self-designing are directed to the thematic organization of life situations at the “plagiarist” level; the space-and-time and cause-and-effect structuring of life events at the “reader” level; value- and-semantic integration of the life history at the “author” level.

The article analyzes the research on the concepts of "culture" and "legal culture". The advantages of research are the integration of approaches to the definition of these concepts: "culture" is a set of all goods created by man, the development of creative forces and skills of the individual, a set of all material and spiritual values; a certain form of organization and development; legal culture - a set of spiritual and material values, all the benefits created by man, in contrast to the natural, components of social life, a certain level of development of society, etc. It is proven that legal culture is part of culture, includes spiritual and material values that belong to the sphere of the surrounding reality; it characterizes the quality of life of society, which is expressed in the level of development of legal activities, legal acts, legal awareness and in general in the level of legal development of the subject, as well as the degree of freedom of the State and civil society and human rights.

The ideology of one of the most important global sporting events of today, the modern Olympic Games, focused on participation rather than victory, promoting equality among participants rather than domination of the victors over the defeated, established ideal models of sportsmanship and sports ethics of today based on the values of ancient society. The subject of this paper refers to the agon and the significance of winning the Ceremonial Games in Olympia. The objective of the paper is to determine the significance of the victory at the Ceremonial Games in Olympia through a review of primary and secondary historical sources, as well as to point out the connection between the victory and the agon. The historical method and the method of theoretical analysis are both applied in the paper. The results of the research point to the fact that the Ceremonial Games in Olympia were shaped by the general Greek phenomenon of expressed competitiveness or agon, the concept of honourable rivalry in all spheres of social life, with the purpose of proving excellence and superiority over competitors, and which as such became the main driving force of the development of ancient Greek culture, on the foundations of which the entire Western civilization rests today.

The Relationship

The idea of public experience is often invoked in different social and academic contexts. However, it seldom deserved a reflection that specifically sought to deepen its meaning from the point of view of social life. In this article we contribute to the understanding of the uniqueness of the public form of experience. We believe that one of the best ways through which we can observe the public experience is by the objectification, performance and dramatization of the culture, i.e., the “expression of lived experiences”. There is, in publicity, the possibility of simultaneous allocation of individual and collective experiences, and it is in this sense that we can see how culture influences the shaping of experience itself. Public experience is characterized by the weaving and intertwining of singular experiences that are pluralized and plural lived experiences that are singularized, in a process where individual and society interpenetrate. The relationship between experience and publicity arises from this symbolic communion contained in the systems of thought and action of societies. The decisive role of the principle of publicity to experience consists, according with the hypothesis we wish to put forward, in making available and communicating the social world of symbolic (cultural) activity. Public experience is, then, envisaged as the experience of a common world where both singular and plural definitions of the individual (taken as society) converge through lived experiences and, particularly, through their expression, which can take different symbolic forms.
