Selected chapters from axiology are the result of the author's multi-year research work and also a certain fulfillment of the requirements from pedagogical practice in this subject. The chapters in this synthesizing form have not been published yet, and I am convinced that precisely in this form they can acquire higher value and greater real impact on our philosophy students.
Individual chapters focus on the problem of the collapse of traditional values, often leading to nihilism and loss of meaning in human existence. It is no coincidence that Friedrich Nietzsche, a philosopher who first called for a reevaluation of all values, is a common denominator among these texts. Another key figure is F. Dostojevskij, a Russian philosophising writer who views nihilism—the problem of value destruction—differently. The goal of these texts is literally to provoke our students so that they independently and creatively address questions related to the meaning of their own existence.
As I am convinced, our time presents a great challenge for new, original ideas and axiological judgments that have always preceded cognitive ones. To what extent my intentions and goals have been fulfilled remains up to the reader to decide.

The topic of gender equality in the university and academic environment in Slovakia remains in a highly ambivalent position – often overlooked and marginalized, instrumentalized and perceived as an alien element or a formal necessity, but most frequently exposed to numerous misunderstandings and misinterpretations.
The intention of the presented publication and its authorial collective is to contribute to shaping and cultivating an environment where it is possible to discuss issues of gender relations in the academic environment objectively, develop research from a gender perspective, and primarily implement gender equality policy as one of the tools for democratizing the academic sphere and the university. The collection was created within the framework of the project VVGS-2018-749, "Creating a Gender Equality Plan at UPJŠ in Košice," and presents various contexts and perspectives from which to consider issues of gender equality at the university. Individual authors focus on the topic of gender equality from philosophical, philosophical-legal, and legal perspectives in their texts.
The final text presents the findings of qualitative research, which was part of the mentioned project, their interpretation, and conclusions from the perspective of further implementation of gender equality policy at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. We understand the publication as an invitation to discussion, critical thinking, and research, and thus to creating a university as we can be.

Jaroslav Marcin - Viktória Marcinová a kol.
This little book started out in a way that probably many other scholarly publications do: When the five of us met as doctoral students and instructors in the Department of British and American Studies, we soon realized that our research overlapped on a number of points. Most prominent among those was our interest in political or politicallymotivated discourse and the study of myths and manipulation that it employed.
In the end, we decided to pool the results of our research together in order to create a more complex picture, providing a variety of perspectives and voices. In our endeavor, we were greatly aided by the financial support we received from a grant offered by the Šafárik University. The outcome of these efforts is the five chapters of this brief, but hopefully informative and insightful monograph.
In Chapter 1, Viktória Marcinová deals with the impact of totalitarian ideology on the translation of so-called “capitalist” drama during the first stage of normalization in Slovakia (1948-1968). In Chapter 2, the focus shifts to political discourse and manipulation in a democracy, as Jaroslav Marcin takes a closer look at the wartime rhetoric of American presidents. USA remains the focus also in Chapter 3, but this time the question, addressed by Martina Martausová, will be one of the myth of the American Dream and its presentation in post-9/11 United States. A similar idea, though in a different geographical-cultural context, is dealt with in Chapter 4, where Božena Velebná identifies myths of Scottish identity as portrayed in historic films. Finally, in Chapter 5, Eduard Soták will take a look at the role of the mass media within the topic of politically-motivated discourse and spread of political ideology.
It is our hope that in this way we can contribute to a better understanding of politically-motivated discourse, manipulation and the use of myths. Through interweaving the results of our research and our analyses, we hope to provide a more complex look at the topic in question, which we feel is missing at the moment.

The following material has been created during the two years of teaching English for Chemists at the Faculty of Science of the Pavol Jozef Šafárik University and is therefore designed to meet the needs of this course. The main motivation was the lack of appropriate materials, especially as the groups generally comprise students with a very diverse level of English. This diversity therefore became the main criterion determining both the form and the content of this text.
In the ten units that provide material for a one semester course, the emphasis is put on teaching the students vocabulary and terminology, which is introduced via authentic texts, depending on the topic of each unit. Students are encouraged to learn the meaning of new words in context. Grammar is included too, with the aim of demonstrating and explaining grammatical rules by means of examples taken directly from the texts. For the more advanced students, grammatical exercises in this material can serve for revision while the beginners might need more supplementary materials.
I hope that this material, the preparation of which has been a challenging as well as enjoyable experience will be useful for future teachers and the students of this course.

The scientific monograph was developed within the framework of the grant project Vega 1/0230/15 entitled "Social and Personality Characteristics of Oncological Ill Men and Women as one of the most important factors of sociotherapy with this group of men and women clients", with the aim of finding some common personal characteristics oncological men and women patients, to focus on choosing their coping strategies that can be significant in terms of oncological disease as well as suggesting ways and means of using the basic methods of sociotherapy as one of the most important methods of social work in working with this group of men and women clients, from the knowledge of their personal and social characteristics.
It is also a starting point for other necessary steps, namely to link the results of research to prax the themselves oncologists to hospitals, their outpatient clinics and patients as well as to support the merit of developing the sociooncology, a specific science discipline.

So záujmom som si prečítal návrh na znovuvydanie monografie prof. PhDr. Jána Hvozdíka, DrSc., Základy školskej psychológie. Bolo pre mňa cťou byť v redakčnej rade nového vydania učebnice. Znovuvydanie učebnice sa deje v čase, keď ako sa zdá, školská psychológia prežíva renesanciu svojho uplatňovania. Nie je to náhodou, pretože profesorova koncepcia školskej psychológie ako teoreticko-aplikovanej a integrovanej psychologickej disciplíny, ktorá sa usiluje nielen priamo, ale aj nepriamo, to znamená pedagogickou praxou učiteľov, ovplyvniť konkrétne situácie výchovno-vzdelávacej praxe v školskom prostredí. Zo svojej strany oceňujem aj to, že v učebnici sa venuje pozornosť stále aktuálnemu samoučeniu, to znamená autodidaktike žiakov a študentov. Školská psychológia sa stala profilovým predmetom, v rámci ktorého sa realizujú aj jej špecializácie. Treba pripomenúť skutočnosť, že v podmienkach totality profesor nebol členom KSS a napriek tomu má veľkú zásluhu na budovaní školského poradenstva nielen v teórii, ale aj v praxi, čo vzbudzuje úctu a obdiv. Znovuvydanie učebnice nie je jeho ospravedlňovaním, ale vyzdvihovaním jeho pozitív.

The anthology was created based on the study of archival volumes of Živena preserved in the Slovak National Library in Martin and the selection of material representing samples of texts that reflect the spirit of the times and contribute to the image of the contemporary modern woman.
The selection of articles from 1919 to 1928 uncovers the cultural atmosphere at the beginning of the 20th century when, thanks to emancipation efforts, doors were opening for women into public and professional life. Students from the 3rd and 4th years of the School of Applied Arts in Košice, under the guidance of teachers in photographic design and Slovak language and literature, were involved in preparing the illustrative component of the anthology, whose artistic interpretations are part of the publication. Their contribution meets the criteria for combining science and practice with a focus on popularizing research results.

Učenci, ktorých diela tvoria stredovekú filozofiu, pôsobili ako teológovia, právnici, lekári, niekedy aj básnici. Nenájdeme medzi nimi snáď nikoho, koho by sme mohli označiť výlučne za filozofa.2 Pre teológov a (náboženských) právnikov bola určujúcim prameňom ich filozofovania Biblia alebo Korán. Tým druhým prameňom bolo filozofické dedičstvo predchádzajúceho staroveku, v ktorom dominovala postava Aristotela s jeho komentátormi. Peripatetické dedičstvo dopĺňali nasledovníci Platóna v dlhej línii tzv. novoplatónskej filozofie (napr. Plotinos, Iamblichos a Proklos), ktorá sa vo svojich počiatkoch rozvíjala v prostredí helenistických škôl. Preto neprekvapuje, že hlavným filozofickým problémom pre stredovekých učencov bol vzťah teológie a filozofie, resp. viery a rozumu, a na to nadväzujúci vzťah teológie a metafyziky. V prostredí kresťanského myslenia sa o ňom diskutovalo už v 2. storočí, keď niektorí Cirkevní otcovia spochybnili hodnotu sekulárneho učenia pre tých, ktorým bola pravda zjavená Bohom...

Filozofické dielo zakladateľa nemeckého klasického idealizmu Immanuela Kanta patrí k tým, ktoré je silou svojho teoretického odkazu permanentne inšpirujúce aj v súčasných dobových filozofických aktivitách. To je neodškriepiteľnou skutočnosťou, voči ktorej nemožno vážnejšie namietať. Dôkazom tejto skutočnosti sú aj filozofické učenia zakladateľa fenomenológie Edmunda Husserla, jeho pokračovateľa Martina Heideggera a tiež viacerých predstaviteľov analytickej filozofie. Uvedená skutočnosť priviedla autorov tejto práce k myšlienke, aby naznačenej problematike venovali samostatnú kolektívnu monografiu.
