Bóg – człowiek – przyroda we współczesnych koncepcjach rozwoju nauki
Abdank-Kozubski, Andrzej (Księgarnia Św. Jacka, 1993)
The author considers the extent and possible consequences of the appearance of classically meant truth in the positivistic and contemporary (represented by Popper and Kuhn) concepts of science development. The legacy of positivism is the scientific theory of cumulativism, according to which the truth is gradually approached by a systematic cumulation of particular scientific achievements. Such an outlook must give rise to trust in science and to a tendency of removing any barriers which might limit in any way the development of science. A more cautious attitude to science follows from the concepts of Popper and Kuhn. Revolutionary changes of paradigms show that science „maybe wrong”. The relation between science and truth appears thus quite vague and even disappears in the extreme version of Kuhn. This ofter results in distrustful attitudes towards science and also in parascientific preferences. It is supposed, that the real image of science is still beyond the positivistic, as well as the Popper’s and Kuhn's concepts. The proposal of a philosophical synthesis of scientific, metaphysical and religious images o f the reality seems to be one of the possible ways of understanding the true status of science.
Wybrane koncepcje przezwyciężania kryzysu ekologicznego
Abdank-Kozubski, Andrzej (Księgarnia Św. Jacka, 2011)
Burdening a human with responsibility for the observed ecological crisis cannot cover the entire domain of questions concerning his role in nature. This is because a human is naturally able to correct his faults and negligence. As a unique creature, a human is able to enrich his relation with natural environment with a sense of being responsible for this environment. The latter is, however, possible provided human is able to recognize and appreciate his own rational and moral capability. Thanks to that, a human may also recognize his own limitations and consequently, try to compensate them rationally and morally. Three proposals for an outlook on a human as a warranty for conquering ecological crisis are presented in the article: these are the concepts of Hans Jonas, Ludwik Schäfer and Konrad Lorenz.
