    Filozoficzne podstawy problematyki bezpieczeństwa człowieka
    (Fundacja "Lubelska Szkoła Filozofii Chrześcijańskiej", 2014) Gondek, Paweł
    The issue of security has become in recent years the issue extensively considered and discussed in the various disciplines of social sciences area. However, the interdisciplinary study of human security needs the discipline which can integrates these issues. This discipline can be philosophy, which aim is to point out the integral understanding of man. The personalistic philosophy emphasizes primacy of the person and its dignity dimension as a condition to guarantee the safety of man. Human development as a person, manifested in a constant and multidirectional dynamism of action, does not allow for easy lineup conditions securing his existence. For man, his security is an important condition for the sovereign functioning in the world. Man realizes his personal potentiality mainly in relation to other people, as expressed through the creation of culture and participation in society. However, only the interpersonal community provides human security, which affirms the dignity and supports his personal development.

    Hyperreality as an Instrument of Mass Communication
    (Fundacja "Lubelska Szkoła Filozofii Chrześcijańskiej", 2014) Gondek, Paweł
    Jean Baudrillard’s reflection on the mechanisms of how the mass media function bring us to the question of hyperreality. The problem of hyperreality results from the limitation of man’s cognitive abilities, which appear especially in the context of the media. The mass media produce a sphere saturated with signs that have no reference to reality. One effect of those processes is hyperreality, in which what is real is adapted to what is virtual. The inexpressibility of existence with respect to content contributes to the creation of hyperreality in communication processes. Therefore an important element in philosophical discussion on the media is an analysis of the possibility of a cognitive apprehension of reality, and in particular, an analysis of the possibility of the knowledge of things’ existence. This is because this is the starting point for reflections on the value of knowledge and on knowledge’s consequences in communication processes.

    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020) Lekka-Kowalik, Agnieszka; Gondek, Paweł
    The monograph presents the Lublin Philosophical School, known also as the Lublin School of Classical Philosophy, which originated at the Catholic University of Lublin as an educational program and a style of practicing philosophy. The title of the introduction grasps the main message of the school: fidelity to the truth - fidelity to reality. The authors - K. Stępień, W. Dłubacz, P. Gondek, A. Maryniarczyk, A. Gudaniec, T. Duma, B. Czernecka-Rej, A. Lekka-Kowalik, S. Majdański - discuss the processes of building foundations of the school and the determinants of "classicality" that shape its specificity. The subtitle of the monograph determines the arrangement of the texts. Historical articles show the socio-intellectual and organizational context of the school's creation and its place in the philosophical tradition. Systematic articles analyze the key conceptions of realistic metaphysical philosophy, including understanding the human as a person. Meta-subject articles concern the philosophical inspirations of the school, the specificity of the language and methods of metaphysics, non-classical logics developed by the school's members, and disputes carried on within the school. S. Majdański's text is a testimony and reflection on the conditions of the school's functioning and a sketch of the personalities of its main masters. The monograph also contains two articles by the schoo's founding fathers: Fr. Professor Mieczysław A. Krąpiec, OP and Rev. Professor Stanisław Kamiński. The collected articles show the topicality of this way of philosophizing which is programmatically open to new experiences. The book ends with a subject and personal index, an extensive bibliography, and a set of photographs.
