Nauka w czasach biurokracji
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Morawski, Roman
This chapter is on the detrimental impact of bureaucracy on science in Poland. After general considerations, concerning the nature of this phenomenon and its development in Western civilization, several bureaucracy-induced problems, the specifics of scientific functioning, are identified, viz.: the quan-tophrenia in the evaluation of scientific achievements, the overgrowth of the system of individual research grants, and a corruptiogenic system of remuneration in academic institutions. The negative impact of those factors on the productivity of research in sciences and humanities is demonstrated, as well as on the condition of related academic milieus. In particular, the mechanisms of the destructive impact of those factors on the academic ethos are disclosed. Although no remedies are explicitly proposed, preferred solutions may be inferred from the presented analysis of the Polish implementation of the academic capitalism imported from the United States without regard to the historical, cultural and social context.
Pół stulecia Politechniki Opolskiej - na drodze do wiedzy, edukacji i rozwoju, także dla inżyniera z duszą humanisty
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Kalczyńska, Maria
In 2016, The Opole University of Technology celebrated its 50th anniversary. As an educational and research institution, it has realized tasks imposed by the Higher Education Law, that is: determining students' technological profile with humanistic predispositions. It gives students the possibility to think independently, critically and creatively. Nowadays, a narrow specialization knowledge is not sufficient, and a broad understanding for the changes taking place in the world is key. The Opole University of Technology has seven faculties. The university is continuously growing and it can boast of the innovation process in education as well as the involvement of workers in the education process. The university cooperates with institutions from Asian countries which have the only Museum of X-ray tubes in the world.The Faculty of Construction and Architecture educates through art, the Faculty of Electronics, Automatics and Computer Science analyses the improvement of human intelligence which is important in searching for humanistic competences. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, according to the humanistic course catalogue, focuses on social communication and personal development issues. Students have a lot of possibilities for academic activities: 36 academic students’ associations, a choir, orchestra and university radio. The teachers include: Dr. Wacław Hepner – initiator of Flying Car and Vehicle Museum; Prof. Jerzy Hickiewicz – electrician, and is passionate about the history of electrical and the Polish Borderlands; Prof. Lech Nawrocki – zoo-technician, compositor and writer. Technical universities should improve the humanistic knowledge of their students, and should create faculties, institutes or departments of Humanities for consolidating research related to this discipline.
Humanizm i transhumanizm w kształceniu technicznym i w technice
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Rarot, Halina
This article concerns the problem of a new engineering model adequate to the challenges of the 21st century. It contains the results of searching for differ-ent models of humanization of technical education that could solve the important issue of ethical and axiological engineering education. The idea of transhuman-ism, which tries to determine the direction of the development of technology and of man himself, towards his new forms of transhuman and posthuman, is also presented.
O potrzebie etycznych podstaw dla edukacji globalnej
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Ciążela, Helena; Bernat, Paweł
The concept of global education is based on the recognition of the world as a network of interdependencies and on realizing the fact that the current direction of the development of civilization leads to environmental and humani-tarian disaster. On the other hand, there is a belief that there is still a chance to change this state of affairs by means of education. The purpose of education is recognized as not only a transfer of knowledge but also as a transfer of morals that is able to generate a shift in attitudes. In order to strengthen the impact of the global education project it is necessary to provide a coherent description and axiological analysis of the values behind it. In the paper, we argue that ethicists should work on building philosophical arguments for the development and implementation of global education programs. We argue further that such a philosophical framework should be based on the ideas of new humanism (proposed by Aurelio Peccei) and global responsibility (formulated by Hans Jonas).
