Autorzy podejmują refleksję nad prawdą i fałszem w nauce i sztuce. Przypisują prawdzie status nieredukowalnego punktu odniesienia - tak w próbach dotarcia do elementarnej wiedzy o świecie, jak i w poszukiwaniach metod i środków artystycznych niezbędnych do osiągnięcia tego celu. Zaprezentowane tu wielopoziomowe i wieloaspektowe badania, prowadzone z wykorzystaniem materiałów pochodzących z różnych epok i różnych kultur, wyraźnie dowodzą, że prawda i fałsz stanowią podstawę wszelkiego rodzaju ludzkich motywacji, wyborów, decyzji i zachowań. Jednocześnie ujawniają, że każda próba ekstrapolacji wyników poszukiwań szczegółowych na poziom uogólnienia o ambicjach uniwersalizujących - przez sam fakt ich dyskursywizacji - albo podporządkowuje prowadzone rozważania regułom logiki formalnej, albo sytuuje je poza prawdą i fałszem.Truth and Falsehood in Science and the ArtsThe authors discuss truth and falsehood in science and the arts. They view truth as an irreducible point of reference, both in striving for elementary knowledge about the world and in seeking methods and artistic means of achieving this goal. The multilevel and multiple-aspect research presented here, conducted on material from different periods and different cultures, shows very clearly that truth and falsehood lie at the foundation of all human motivation, choices, decisions, and behaviors.

The current issue of The Artistic Traditions of Non-Europeans Countries is devoted to African cultures and it addresses matters which go beyond issues related to visual arts. In this volume the authors rather search for relations between arts and communication in differentAfrican settings.Over millennia people have applied different ideas with the view to make ephemeral oral communication, or at least the ideas carried by spoken words, last longer. The tools applied to different thoughts have changed and developed, but the main aims remained the same since the most ancient times. They are: to be able to remember what was once said, to freeze and save what was once said or thought for future generations and also to use simple signs to make references, so that the others think about exactly the same ideas in the same context as expected.This volume offers a glimpse into different aspects of how people communicated in the past and how they communicate today in Africa with the use of a wide spectrum of different tools and methods using art, orality and writing. In the centre of interest of the authors remains the area which is common to all these manners of passing on information and conveying messages, the area which reflects how orality and visuality influence each other.

The papers collected in this volume vividly reflect the strikingly wide range of interests characterizing current research in phenomenology inspired by Roman Ingarden. One of Husserl s closest and most devoted students, and at the same time one of his earliest and sharpest critics, Ingarden himself explored numerous fields of philosophy in considerable depth. While he remains best known for his groundbreaking work in aesthetics, ontology, and metaphysics, he also dealt extensively in ethics, epistemology, philosophical anthropology, and cognitive science, and his work was characterized throughout by a deep and abiding interest in the sciences and an unwavering respect for painstakingly thorough logical investigation. Issues from all of these areas of study provide the topics dealt with by the authors contributing to this volume. Several authors focus explicitly on historical matters, often casting surprising new light on the development of early phenomenology in general and of Ingarden s own realist phenomenology in particular. Other authors have concentrated instead on specific areas or particular topics of long-standing interest, such as the aesthetic experience, the philosophy of music, and artistic creation, while others have explored the relevance of Ingarden s ontological and anthropological analyses to current research into everything from the interpretation of texts to the study of technological posthumanization.

Towards the end of the twentieth century, Native American writers Cerald Yizenor, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Sherman Alexie began to populate their fiction-in defiance of the American reading publics expectations-with Indian characters who were not only contempo-rary rather than historical, but also city- rather than reservation-based. Like the historians who, a decade earlier, nad revolutionized American thinking about the countrys history by finally acknowledging the Native American view of it from the shore, these three writers, in their books about urban Indians, challenged contemporary assump-tions about Indian identity the demise of tribal cultures, and the lndian s place in modern society precisely by assuming as their van-tage point the urban or concrete shore. The various psychological, political, and artistic ramifications of their choice of perspective arę the subject of Ewelina Bańkas rich and rewarding critical study View from the Concrete Shore. The author s special focus in the book is on the reconceptualization of the conventional notion of Indian Country which inevitably takes place in Vizenor s, Silko s, and Alexie s fiction, as they introduce their readers to the world of urban multi-tribal com-munities and urban trickster heroes.
