Philo Gubb, Correspondence-School Detective
Ellis Parker Butler
A hilarious parody of the detective genre Philo Gubb dreams of becoming a detective like Sherlock Holmes and quitting his job as a wallpaper-hanger. He enrolls in a correspondence course which offers lessons and various disguises. He soon gets involved in several cases and much to his surprise and those around him proves to be rather adept at solving crimes. Amazingly, he solves many puzzles and even catches some real thieves and other criminals usually by some mistake or turn of circumstance that puts the criminals in his lap. Each of these stories is a complete mystery so if you read just one, you will know its beginning and the unorthodox methods by which Philo Gubb solves it using his woeful deteckative skills. Philo Gubb, Correspondence-School Detective is one of the first and best detective parodies.

Periodyk „Philosophy and Canon Law” stanowi otwarte interdyscyplinarne forum wymiany myśli filozofów i prawników (kanonistów), nie wyłączając przedstawicieli innych dyscyplin naukowych. Mierzenie się z problemami podejmowanymi w rocznikach tematycznych jest – z samego założenia – próbą odpowiedzi na palące problemy dynamicznie zmieniającego się świata: społeczne, religijne, kulturowe i cywilizacyjne. Ramy przedmiotowej refleksji zakreśla, zaznaczona tytułem pierwszego tomu czasopisma, paradygmatyczna triada: człowiek (osoba) – rodzina – społeczeństwo, której źródłem inspiracji jest najważniejszy dokument Soboru Watykańskiego II: konstytucja Gaudium et spes. Inicjatywa znajduje oparcie w instytucjonalnej współpracy naukowców, głównie centralnej Europy i Stanów Zjednoczonych. The periodical “Philosophy and Canon Law” constitutes an open interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of philosophers and lawyers’ (canonists’) reflections, including representatives of different fields of study. Coping with the issues undertaken in thematic annuals is―from its very assumption―an attempt to provide an answer to complex problems of the dynamically changing world: social, religious, cultural, and civilizational. The confines of the subject matter reflection are delineated by a marked by the means of the title of the first volume of the periodical triad: human being (person)―family―society, the source of inspiration of which is the most important document of the Second Vatican Council: Gaudium et spes constitution. The initiative garners support from the institutional cooperation of scientists, chiefly from Europe and the United States of America.

Philosophy as the Foundation of Knowledge, Action and Ethos
Janusz Kaczmarek, Ryszard Kleszcz
The volume contains a selection of texts presented during the Conference: University – Philosophy as the Foundation of Knowledge, Action and Ethos, which was organized by the University of Łódź (on 11–13th June 2015) to celebrate the 70th anniversary of its foundation. The works contained in the volume pertain to very diverse topics, and for this reason the content of the book is divided into four chapters. Chapter one includes essays which present Kotarbinski’s life and scientific work. The second chapter concentrates on some theoretical problems of knowledge and epistemology. In the third chapter, different problems of ethics, religion and theory of action are discussed. Chapter four focuses on contemporary problems in social sciences and humanities and the state of affairs in those fields. The volume juxtaposes various current philosophical problems in a most impressive way.

Philosophy of Chance. A cosmic fugue with a prelude and a coda
Michał Heller
A new book by the 2008 Templeton Prize laureate Michael Heller in which the problems of chance and probability are seen in light of the advancements of physics and biology. The Author's claim is that chance finds its place within the structure of the universe and cosmic evolution. Heller's insightful remarks may be considered a critique of both Dawkins' 'blind watchmaker' approach and Dembski's 'intelligent design' perspective.

University studies mean the critical reading of texts, and also reflection. The latter should be stimulated by lectures and tutorials, and by discussion. In an attempt to meet the needs of students, we offer here a handbook (in English) for the study of the philosophy of law. An innovative idea underlies this handbook – teaching an aspect of law through questions and answers. It is based on a philosophical approach to the study of law. In preparing this handbook, the authors have drawn on English-language models – in the first instance, on the Routletge Questions & Answers Series: Jurisprudence 2013–2014 by David Brooke (New York 2013). We have proceeded from a position that the subject of philosophy of law may be dealt with in five sections. These are: (I) methodology; (II) people; (III) approaches; (IV) concepts; and (V) hard cases. The contents of our book reflects this division into parts. At the outset, however, we must mention some reservations. First, this handbook considers problems of contemporary philosophy of law, but it is by no means a handbook of the history of philosophy of law. Second, this handbook has a module-based organization. In the future, it will be possible to change these modules as required. Thus, it is an open-ended offering, which will certainly – and this was part of the project from the start - be subject to further changes, supplements, and modifications in subsequent editions.
