Toward a Psychoanalytic Theory of Truth, by Jon Mills
This is a recording of a lecture delivered by professor Jon Mills of the Adler Graduate Professional School, Toronto, Canada, at the Institute of Philosophy of the University of Wrocław, Poland, on December 17, 2013.
The lecture was a part of the symposium organised by professor Adam Chmielewski (chmielewski.uni.wroc.pl), Editor-in-Chief of the philosophical quarterly Studia Philosophica Wratislaviensia (studiaphilosophica.pl).
The abstract of the lecture
The question and meaning of truth is relevant to every intellectual discipline in the history of ideas, yet it remains elusive and enigmatic. In some discourses, we are accustomed to think of truth as the semiotic signification of universality and finality, a category of the ultimate. In others, truth is foreclosed, subjective, or purported not to exist. The very word imports an act of hubris—a proclamation of grandiosity, hence a definitive statement about the real. Yet this final, absolute signification stamped in the meaning of the word itself has acquired sundry meanings and interpretations peculiar to various schools within philosophy, not to mention the common man. The notion of truth has many potential meanings all at once, from the universal to the particular, the private to the social. We may historically observe theories of truth centering on correspondence to reality or factual events, to logical coherence, epistemological sincerity and justified belief, empirical verifiability, linguistic determinism, social constructivism, pragmatic utility, and relativism, as well as an unfolding supraordinate process or complex holism. Truth has also been elevated to the ontological status of virtue—the striving of pure reason and science, the noble good, the ideal or sublime object of knowledge, hence the property of enlightened mind. But what exactly do we mean by truth? Is psychoanalysis in a position to offer a theory of truth despite the fact that it has no theory? I propose a general metatheory that allows for distinct categories and instantiations of truth as metacontextual appearance. Here the question of truth is most useful if conceived as a phenomenohermeneutic project. In revisiting the ancient notion of aletheia as disclosedness or unconcealment, we may discover a psychoanalytic contribution to truth conditioned on an unconscious ontology.
The recording has been arranged impromptu by means of an iPad which explains some of its minor deficiencies. Any feedback welcome at: adam.chmielewski@uni.wroc.pl

Joanna Pawlik and band live in Warsaw 2016
After visiting the Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego I heard music. They were playing outside in a cafe/bar that I can't find on Google maps neither on Google streetview (wooden structure next to the museum). Anyway Joanna Pawlik played live after the band did some really nice jazz performences.
Just a quick clip of Joanna Pawlik, I will make a a nice compilation when I'm back home.

ABBA - Fernando (Poland 1976)
«Fernando» (рабочее название: «Tango») — внеальбомный сингл шведской группы ABBA, выпущенный весной 1976 года.
Авторы слов и музыки — Бьорн Ульвеус, Бенни Андерссон и Стиг Андерсон, вокал — Анни-Фрид Лингстад.
Песня появилась в некоторых странах на релизе Greatest Hits 1976 года, хотя в Австралии и Новой Зеландии «Fernando» попала на альбом Arrival.
После успеха соло-версии Фриды в Скандинавии группа решила записать песню на английском языке, и это оказалось удачным шагом.
Песня стала одной из наиболее успешных за всю историю группы, заняв первые места в чартах тринадцати стран

College of Europe
The College of Europe is an independent university institute of postgraduate European studies with the main campus in Bruges, Belgium. It was founded in 1949 by such leading European figures and founding fathers of the European Union as Salvador de Madariaga, Winston Churchill, Paul-Henri Spaak and Alcide De Gasperi in the wake of the Hague Congress of 1948 to promote a spirit of solidarity and mutual understanding between all the nations of Western Europe and to provide elite training to individuals who will uphold these values and to train an elite of young executives for Europe. It has the status of Institution of Public Interest, operating according to Belgian law. Since 1993 the college has also had an additional smaller campus in Natolin, Poland, focusing on Central and Eastern European studies.
Students are usually selected in cooperation with their countries' ministries of foreign affairs, and admission is highly competitive. The number of students each year used to be very low—for several decades less than 100—but has increased since the early 1990s. The College of Europe is bilingual, and students must be proficient in English and French. Students receive a master's degree following a one-year programme. Traditionally, students specialize in either European law, international economics, or European political and administrative studies; in recent years, additional programmes have been created.

Speaker of the House of Commons (United Kingdom)
The Speaker of the House of Commons is the presiding officer of the House of Commons, the United Kingdom's lower chamber of Parliament. The office is currently held by John Bercow, who was initially elected on 22 June 2009, following the resignation of Michael Martin. He was returned as an MP in the 2010 general election and was re-elected as Speaker when the House sat at the start of the new Parliament on 18 May 2010. He was again returned as an MP in the 2015 general election and was re-elected, unopposed, as Speaker when the House sat at the start of the new Parliament on 18 May 2015.
The Speaker presides over the House's debates, determining which members may speak. The Speaker is also responsible for maintaining order during debate, and may punish members who break the rules of the House. Unlike presiding officers of legislatures in many other countries, the Speaker remains strictly non-partisan, and renounces all affiliation with his or her former political party when taking office as well as when leaving the office. The Speaker does not take part in debate or vote. Aside from duties relating to presiding over the House, the Speaker also performs administrative and procedural functions, and remains a constituency Member of Parliament. The Speaker has the right and obligation to reside in Speaker's House at the Palace of Westminster.

SUMMARY
=======
The Kingdom of Bohemia, sometimes in English literature referred to as the Czech Kingdom (Czech: České království; German: Königreich Böhmen; Latin: Regnum Bohemiae, sometimes Regnum Czechorum), was a medieval and early modern monarchy in Central Europe, the predecessor of the modern Czech Republic. It was an Imperial State in the Holy Roman Empire, and the Bohemian king was a prince-elector of the empire. The kings of Bohemia, besides Bohemia, ruled also the Lands of the Bohemian Crown, which at various times included Moravia, Silesia, Lusatia and parts of Saxony, Brandenburg and Bavaria.
The kingdom was established by the Přemyslid dynasty in the 12th century from Duchy of Bohemia, later ruled by the House of Luxembourg, the Jagiellonian dynasty, and since 1526 by the House of Habsburg and its successor house Habsburg-Lorraine. Numerous kings of Bohemia were also elected Holy Roman Emperors and the capital Prague was the imperial seat in the late 14th century, and at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries.
After the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the territory became part of the Habsburg Austrian Empire, and subsequently the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867. Bohemia retained its name and formal status as a separate Kingdom of Bohemia until 1918, known as a crown land within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and its capital Prague was one of the empire's leading cities. The Czech language (called the Bohemian language in English usage until the 19th century) was the main language of the Diet and the nobility until 1627 (after the Bohemian Revolt was suppressed). German was then formally made equal with Czech and eventually prevailed as the language of the Diet until the Czech National Revival in the 19th century. German was also widely used as the language of administration in many towns after Germans immigrated and populated some areas of the country in the 13th century. The royal court used the Czech, Latin, and German languages, depending on the ruler and period.
Following the defeat of the Central Powers in World War I, both the Kingdom and Empire were dissolved. Bohemia became the core part of the newly formed Czechoslovak Republic.
