Open Society. A Political Project of the Modern World or a Productive Metafor in the Intellectual Tradition of the Search for Better Man and the World?

Project implementation period:

01/18-12/20

Status in the project: 

project leader

Brief characteristics of the project:

The project is to approach systematic reflection of the established ideational constructs in the theory and practice of rationalism, humanism, totalitarianism, liberal democracy and open society. Their interaction in the intellectual tradition of Europe in fact defines and creates the conditions for experimenting with different forms of political structures. The aim is to analyse the advantages and risks of the open society concept, to present potential perspectives for addressing the dilemmas and inconsistencies in the arena of current ideological confrontations in the political systems of modern liberal democracies and points variants of the way of establishing "softer" forms of political communications instead of political struggle, with emphasis on political life in Slovakia.

Name of the project:

The research of the correlations between political consciousness distortions and the rise of political extremism at Secondary school students of Košice self-governing region and Prešov self-governing region

Project implementation period:

01/21-12/23

Status in the project: 

Co-researcher

Brief characteristics of the project:

The project proposes to investigate the correlations between the deformations of political consciousness and the rise of political extremism among young people in the Košice and Prešov regions, together with proposals for measures to eliminate them. The methodological basis of the research on the above mentioned issue will be the stages of political consciousness, which have been theoretically elaborated by Professor Marcela Gbúrová. The project should be a continuation of the research on secondary analphabetism in the Slovak Republic carried out between 2016 and 2018 (VEGA No. 1/0658/16), in the framework of which the concept of individual stages of political consciousness (insitic, instructed, professional, theoretical) was introduced in more detail.

Research of Secondary Analphabetism in the Slovak Republic (Status - Contexts - Perspectives)

Project implementation period:

01/16-12/18

Status in the project: 

Co-researcher

Brief characteristics of the project:

The project is aimed at developing an assessment of the level of secondary analphabetism in the Slovak Republic in the field of conventional and unconventional types of political participation through hierarchical forms of participation. The aim is to develop theoretical and methodological bases for the study of secondary analphabetism in politics in the interdisciplinary framework of philosophy, political science, public policy and public administration and sociology with regard to selected areas of socio-political life through: 1. Civic participation, 2. Political participation, 3. Socio-demographic differentiations. The aim of the project Research on Secondary Analphabetism in the Slovak Republic is to begin to fill the gap in research on the declining interest in public affairs. And also to begin to uncover the political and sociological causes and contexts of this state of affairs. The ambition of the project researchers within the secondary analphabetism concept is to analyse the state of secondary analphabetism and its impact on political processes in the Slovak Republic and to develop a theoretical model for the assessment of secondary analphabetism and recommendations for its elimination in the conditions of the Slovak Republic.
