21Between Globalization of Human Rights and Territorial Protection of Civil OneAnaliza I Egzystencja 61 27-49. 2023.The main aim of the article is to show that axiological and anthropological dimensions of human rights in the globalized world do not fit together. Such tension – between universally understood human rights and territorially perceived citizens’ rights – is unavoidable. By making the term “human” strictly biological people are being perceived not as members of a particular community but as members of the species. In the political paradigm these collectivities are distinguished by political rules,…Read more

9Kant and RevolutionDiametros 19 (75): 17-36. 2022.Based on Kant’s political thought, this article deals with the relationship between a ruler’s power and freedom, law and morality. The assumed external freedom is to be guaranteed to individuals by a valid political authority (sovereign); however, the authorities do not have to obey the law, which means that the freedom of citizens is threatened. Thus, a tension appears between the freedom of the individual and obedience to an unjust law. From an authority’s perspective, peace is more important …Read more

Studia Z Filozofii Polityki 17 79-96. 2020.This article compares two philosophical traditions and their attitudes to war and violence within the context of international relations. The first refers to Hobbes’ political realism, the second to the Grotian idea of international community.

6Trzy modele demokratycznego państwaCivitas. Studia Z Filozofii Polityki 10 94-120. 2020.The theory of a deliberative, democratic state posited by Jurgen Habermas fills the gaps in the concepts of democracy proper to liberalism and republicanism. Habermas’ theory intermediates between the liberal and the republican models, avoiding the one-sidedness to which they tend. A deliberative state ruled by law is based on a discursive forming of the will, the essence of which is communicative rationality, setting out the framework of a democratic procedure legitimising the rightfully made l…Read more

13Between the ethics of forgiveness and the unforgivable: Reflections on Arendt’s idea of reconciliation in politicsArgument: Biannual Philosophical Journal 10 (1): 27-40. 2020.The aim of the article is to examine the role that memory and oblivion, forgiveness and unforgiveness play in Hannah Arendt’s thought in relation to acts of violence in the political sphere. Political communities do not always decide to remember the crimes they have committed or the wrongs they have suffered, but neither can they always forget their mutual harms, even when there is already peace between them. Without striving to exhaust the entire subject matter of Arendt’s work, I would like to…Read more

Ces deux théoriciens prennent le droit cosmopolite de Kant et l’adaptent en tenant compte du processus de globalisation et du fait du pluralisme. Il est nécessaire d’examiner jusqu’à quel point ces auteurs ont modifié l’idée du droit cosmopolite de Kant et ses implications, ainsi que d’examiner à quel point ces auteurs ont…Read more

9Kozmopolitanizam i liberalizam: Kant i suvremeni liberalni kozmopolitanizamSynthesis Philosophica 24 (2): 271-280. 2009.Autor ovog članka uspoređuje Kantov pojam kozmopolitskog prava sa suvremenim liberalnim kozmopolitanizmom teoretičara poput James Bohmana i Davida Helda . Ova dva teoretičara uzimaju Kantovo kozmopolitsko pravo i preoblikuju ga uzimajući u obzir proces globalizacije i činjenicu pluralizma. Nužno je istražiti koliko su duboko ovi autori promijenili uvid u Kantovo kozmopolitsko pravo i njegove implikacije te također koliko su ovi autori preoblikovali klasični liberalno-politički vokabular

3Cosmopolitanism and Liberalism: Kant and Contemporary Liberal CosmopolitanismSynthesis Philosophica 24 (2): 271-280. 2009.The author of this paper compares Kant’s notion of cosmopolitan right with contemporary liberal cosmopolitanism of such theorists like James Bohman (Professor of Philosophy at Saint Louis University) and David Held (Professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science). These two theorists bring Kant’s cosmopolitan right and reshape it by taking into consideration the process of globalization and the fact of pluralism. It is necessary to investigate how far these authors have change…Read more

This article assesses the moral and practical justifications for common global principles. Individual and institutional responsibility on the supranational level is connected with the standard of human rights and the relational aspects of the globalised world. It also points out two separate problems which global ethics should aim to solve. The first is metatheoretical and methodological and c…Read more

Diese zwei Theoretiker greifen Kants kosmopolitisches Recht auf und umformen es, indem sie auf den Globalisierungsprozess sowie das Faktum des Pluralismus Rücksicht nehmen. Erforderlich ist es zu erkunden, wie beträchtlich diese Autoren die Einsicht in Kants kosmopolitisches Recht und dessen Implikationen modifiz…Read more

Especially Schmitt who understand such action as a conflict between friends and enemies. The analysis of their approach to the power and the cont…Read more

Global Environmental Citizenship: The Polish Approach to EcologyIn Is Planet Earth Green?, . pp. 57-66. 2013.chapter aims at tracing the connections between global citizenship and global environmentalism at both, the theoretical and the practical level. At the theoretical level I define the notion of global citizenship referring to Nigel Dower's definition described in his book titled World Ethics - The New Agenda. Subsequently, I show that the idea of global citizenship is a part of global justice concept. At the first glance it seems to be a political concept, while it is primarily an ethical one. Th…Read more

4Three Models of IntegrationIn André-Paul Frognier & Irina Kolotouchkina (eds.), EpsNet Kiosk Plus, . 2005.The purpose of the article is to show major contradictions between the federal concept of Europe that can be found in J. Habermas’s theory, confederative vision of E - W Böckenförde and A. Giddens’s theory of globalization. In this context I try to analyze the relationship between democracy and the national state. I focus also on the problem of the consequences of globalization (economical and political) that may go in two different directions by facilitating and hampering European integration. …Read more
