ADAM SMITH'S OPTIMISTIC TELEOLOGICAL VIEW OF HISTORY
No full textAdam Smith's four-stage theory provides the framework for his writings on history. The fourth stage is the commercial epoch; the culmination of history in this stage is a key component in the conventional interpretation of Adam Smith as a prophet of commercialism. In two historical case studies Smith shows the capacity of commercial society to regenerate itself. This potent capacity suggests that commercial society is inevitable. At a certain point in time it also overcomes the major obstacles to its permanence. Smith's philosophy of history anticipates the end of history views of Kant and Hegel.Political Economy,
Środowisko bezpieczeństwa powietrznego państwa
No full textIn the book, the authors have focused on the key problem which is possessing an effective and modern AD system. It is obvious that the problem is very complex and difficult to solve; more difficult in a more turbulent environment. Additionally, one has to realize that the demands facing the air defense evolve and are modified considerably. The possibility of successful meeting them depends on the pace and rhythm of the AD system’s development, shaping the events in its operational environment.W książce autorzy zajmują się kluczową kwestią jaką jest posiadanie skutecznej i nowoczesnej OP. Nie ulega wątpliwości, że jest to problem bardzo złożony, a trudność jego rozwiązania zwiększa się wraz z narastającą turbulencją otoczenia. Poza tym należy być świadomym tego, że wymagania stawiane przed OP ulegają istotnym przeobrażeniom i modyfikacjom. Możliwości ich spełnienia zależą z jednej strony od tempa i rytmu rozwoju systemu OP, które kształtują zdarzenia zachodzące w jego otoczeniu.Pracę naukową wykonano w ramach realizacji projektu „Automatyzacja procesów informacyjno-decyzyjnych w obronie powietrznej w warunkach modelowanego zagrożenia powietrznego wojsk i obiektów infrastruktury krytycznej Nr GB/5/2018/209/2018/DA finansowanego przez Ministerstwo Obrony Narodowej w latach 2018-2022
How Might Adam Smith Pay Professors Today?
No full textAdam Smith’s proposal for paying professors was intended to induce increased faculty knowledge. If students have imperfect information about what they learn, and universities can only imperfectly measure the input of faculty time in student learning, publications may be used to measure faculty knowledge. If professors’ ability to publish is positively related to their ability to produce student learning, which universities can imperfectly measure, publications may be necessary to attract more able professors. Since research signals faculty knowledge, schools that do not value publications per se could require higher publication standards and pay higher wages than schools that value only publications.
ADAM SMITH'S VIEW OF HISTORY: CONSISTENT OR PARADOXICAL?
No full textThe conventional interpretation of Adam Smith is that he is a prophet of commercialism. The liberal capitalist reading of Smith is consistent with the view that history culminates in commercial society. The first part of the article develops this optimistic interpretation of Smith's view of history. Smith implies that commercial society is the end of history because 1) it supplies the ends of nature that he identifies; 2) it is inevitable; and 3) it is permanent. The second part of the article shows that Smith has some dark moments in his writings where he seems to reject completely such teleological notions. In this more civic humanist mood he confesses that commercial society does not supply the ends of nature, nor is it inevitable, nor is it permanent. Both views exist in Smith and the commentator is forced to choose between passages in Smith's work in order to support a particular interpretation of the former's view of history.Political Economy,
Współczesne determinanty bezpieczeństwa powietrznego państwa
No full textThe article presents the results of research that focuses on contemporary aspects related to the air safety of the state in the period of peace and war. In the first part, scientific considerations were aimed at identifying the conceptual apparatus related to the concept of air security of the state, air threat and air defense. In the second part, the author analyzes contemporary military and terrorist threats, which are the main determinant of changes in the air defense system of the state as an integral element of the state security system. In the last part of the scientific deliberations, the author emphasizes the importance of cooperation and integration of elements of the armed forces with non-military institutions, which translates into the effectiveness of the protection of the air space of the state against airborne threats. In this part, the author points out the essence and importance of the protection of the airspace of NATO countries, which is implemented as part of the Air Policing mission

THE THEOLOGICAL FOUNDATION OF ADAM SMITH'S WORK
No full textThe paper will discuss the theological foundation to Smith's writings. Teleology, final causes and divine design were initially seen as central to understanding Smith's writings. Over time, this view fell out of fashion. In the period after World War II, with the rise of positivism, commentators tended to overlook or downplay this interpretation. In the last decade, or so, teleology has started to be restored to its former position as an essential element in understanding Smith. After spelling out Smith's teleology and his view of final causes, divine design and the ends of nature, we try to explain the Panglossian nature of the 'new theistic view' of Smith. While our view differs somewhat, we agree with the essence of the 'new view' claim: a theological view exists in Smith which underpins his moral and economic theories.Political Economy,
