    Koncepcja narodu Anthony’ego D. Smitha. Kontrowersje wokół definicji

    No full text
    This paper focuses on the category of the nation introduced by Anthony David Smith. The author attempts to answer the following questions: what does actually constitute a nation, what is the origin of a nation, and how does a nation exist. The main point of this paper is the evolution of the Smith’s definition of the nation, which has already been debated. The analysis presented here aims to show that the changes introduced by Smith to the definition of the nation actually helped clarify this definition, while the basic definition of the nation remained a consistent and interesting concept for different theories of the nation, and in particular those coming from political sciences. In addition, this paper presents some major ideas of that British scientist and the main research schools studying the subject. This paper mainly focuses on the analysis of the changes introduced by Montserrat Guibernau, a sociologist from the University of Cambridge, and attempts to explain motivations which drove Smith to introduce changes to his definition. So far, none of the scientists exploring the British scientific thought has attempted to show how Smith’s idea of the nation could be useful for Christian social teaching. Therefore, this paper includes some recommendations, which may be helpful for researchers interested in the field of the theory of nation. The ethnosymbolic concept of the nation, as defined by Smith, seems to correspond also with the concept of the nation that is characteristic of the Polish school of humanism. But while it is briefly mentioned in this paper, this problem is not explored in depth, as a possible subject of future research.Treść artykułu skupia się na kategorii narodu zdefiniowanej przez brytyjskiego socjologa Anthony’ego Davida Smitha. Autor podejmuje próbę odpowiedzi na pytania: w jaki sposób konstytuuje się naród, gdzie ma swoje początki i w jaki sposób egzystuje. Głównym problemem analizy jest jednak ewolucja Smitha definicji narodu, która była już przedmiotem debaty. Zaprezentowana w niniejszym studium analiza ma na celu wykazanie, że wprowadzone przez Smitha zmiany definiujące naród są w rzeczywistości próbą wyjaśnienia samej koncepcji narodu, przy czym podstawowa teoria Smitha pozostała spójną i interesującą alternatywą dla innych teorii narodu, szczególnie tych z nurtu politologicznego. W artykule zarysowany też został kontekst naukowy prowadzonych przez brytyjskiego socjologa badań oraz główne szkoły myśli socjologicznej zajmujące się niniejszą problematyką. Autor artykułu poświęca najwięcej miejsca analizie zmian zdefiniowanych przez Montserrat Guibernau, socjolog z Uniwersytetu w Cambridge, i podejmuje próbę wyjaśnienia intencji, jakimi kierował się Smith, wprowadzając zmiany w swojej definicji. Jak dotąd nikt z badaczy myśli socjologicznej brytyjskiego uczonego nie podjął się próby wykazania przydatności jego koncepcji narodu dla chrześcijańskiej myśli społecznej, stąd artykuł zawiera rekomendacje, które w przyszłości mogą pogłębić badania nad kategorią narodu wśród reprezentantów tego nurtu badań naukowych. Etnosymboliczna koncepcja narodu w ujęciu Smitha zdaje się korespondować także z ujęciem narodu charakterystycznym dla dyskursu polskiej socjologii humanistycznej. Autor artykułu wzmiankuje o tym, pozostawiając jednak ten problem na etapie przesłanki do dalszych badań

    Avtor posega v razprave ob izdaji slovenskega prevoda Bogastva narodov Adama Smitha. Opredeli se za takšno branje tega klasičnega dela, ki v njem razločuje tiste vidike, ki jih je potrdil zgodovinski razvoj kapitalističnega gospodarstva in razvoj ekonomske teoretske misli, od vidikov, ki sta jih zgodovinski razvoj in razvoj politične ekonomije ovrgla. Avtor zaključi, da Smithove dediščine ne sme obremenjevati enostransko in nekritično prevzemanje njenih šibkih točk v neoklasični ekonomiki. Potrebna je naslonitev na avtorje,ki so razvijali pozitivno plat njegove misli.The author of this article intervenes into discussions initiated by the Slovene translation of Adam Smith\u27s The Wealth of Nations. He argues for such an interpretation of Smith\u27s work that distinguishes those aspects that have been confirmed by the subsequent development of capitalist economies and economic theory from those that have proved to be incorrect either from the viewpoint of subsequent historical development and the development of political economy. He concludes that Smith\u27s legacy should not bear the burden of one-sided and uncritical appropriations of its weak points by neoclassical economics. What is needed, rather, is to base oneself on those authors that have developed the positive points of Smith\u27s legacy

    “Hemostat forceps” a simple and useful adjuvant to clip applicator forceps for clipping saccular cerebral aneurysms – Technical note

    AbstractDespite technical and technological advances in Neurosurgery, in the last four decades, there has been no significant reduction, in the dimensions of the, aneurysm clip applicator forceps. This can be challenging, even to the most experienced neurovascular surgeon, especially when the surgical corridor created remains narrow, despite all possible measures to widen it. The author describes one such situation, where an anterior communicating artery aneurysm was clipped successfully using a simple “hemostat” forceps. The author describes the advantages and disadvantages of a hemostat forceps, when used as a clip applicator. He also explains how a “custom made” hemostat forceps, can overcome these pitfalls. The author concludes that, though a standard clip applicator forceps is the instrument of choice, to clip aneurysms, a “custom made” set of hemostat forceps can prove superior to conventional clip applicators, in select situations, where the surgical corridor is too narrow and the relatively large dimensions of the clip applicator itself, obliterates visibility of the local anatomy
