The Polish Episcopate critically assessed the social and economic situation in Poland in the period of the transition from communism to democracy and a freemarket economy. Privatisation led to production being stopped and to an increase in unemployment. Profit and not human dignity became the measure of labour. The economic and social reality was dominated by the treatment of economics and financial success as of the highest values and the dissemination of the opinion that in politics and economics there are no values. The political elites showed an inability to develop long-term strategies for getting out of the crisis. The disappearance of the morality of many representatives of public life, which was manifested in universal corruption and the aspiration to improve social status as soon as possible, contributed to this state of affairs. As a result, there was a crisis of the idea of the common wealth and an increase in crime. The social crisis was particularly visible in moral attitudes, social behaviour, and in the economic sphere, public finance, on the labour market, and in the quickly progressing social stratification.

Effective palliative care that rests on a sound ethical foundation requires ongoing discussions about patient and family values and preferences. This is especially important when addressing care at end-of-life including artificial nutrition and hydration, withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies and palliative sedation as well as requests for assistance in hastening death. This volume in the 'HPNA Palliative Nursing Manuals' series, provides an overview of critical communication skills and formal organizational mechanisms, such as ethics committees and interdisciplinary rounds, required for decisions in ethical dilemmas which respect diversity in the views of colleagues, as well as patients

"Coercion is one of the most fascinating and controversial subjects in psychiatry. It is a highly sensitive, and hotly debated topic in which clinical practice, ethics, the law and public policy converge. This book considers coercion within the healing and ethical framework of therapeutic relationships and partnerships at all levels, and addresses the universal problem of how to balance safety versus autonomy when dealing with psychiatric treatment"--EBL

The article considers the issues of modern German political philosophy in accordance with its formation, institutionalization and development. Germany's political philosophy is analyzed in terms of its interaction with social and practical philosophy. The text states that political philoso- phy belongs to both social philosophy and political science. As a political theory, it is a compo- nent of social theories institutionalized in the modern era. As a political philosophy, it appears as a metatheory of political theory. Political philosophy is also part of practical philosophy, exploring the problems of interaction between ethics and politics and the moral reclamation of the political system of modern society. These issues are themed in the context of the institution- alization of this discipline in the early twentieth century, its transformation into a political reli- gion during National Socialism, the revival after World War II, as well as actualization in such areas of socio-humanitarian sciences as discourse philosophy, functional-system theory of so- ciety, etc. according to the political situation of modern Germany. ; У статті розглядаються питання сучасної німецької політичної філософії відповідно до її становлення, інституціалізації та розвитку. Політична філософія Німеччини аналізується з огляду на її взаємодію із соціальною та практичною філософією. У тексті зазначається, що політична філософія належить і до соціальної філософії, і до політичних наук. Як полі- тична теорія вона є складником соціальних теорій, інституціалізованих модерної доби. Як політична філософія вона постає метатеорією щодо політичної теорії. Політична філосо- фія належить також до складу практичної філософії, досліджуючи проблеми взаємодії етики і політики та морального оновлення політичної системи сучасного суспільства. Ці питання тематизовано у контесті інституціалізації цієї дисципліни на початку ХХ століття, пере- творення її на політичну релігію за часів націонал-соціалізму, відродження після Другої сві- тової війни, а також актуалізації в таких напрямах соціогуманітарних наук, як філософія дискурсу, функціонально-системна теорія суспільства тощо та відповідно до політичної си- туації сучасної Німеччини.
