Article 59.1, of the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants (ICN; Melbourne Code), which addresses the nomenclature of pleomorphic fungi, became effective from 30 July 2011. Since that date, each fungal species can have one nomenclaturally correct name in a particular classification. All other previously used names for this species will be considered as synonyms. The older generic epithet takes priority over the younger name. Any widely used younger names proposed for use, must comply with Art. 57.2 and their usage should be approved by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (NCF). In this paper, we list all genera currently accepted by us in Dothideomycetes (belonging to 23 orders and 110 families), including pleomorphic and non-pleomorphic genera. In the case of pleomorphic genera, we follow the rulings of the current ICN and propose single generic names for future usage. The taxonomic placements of 1261 genera are listed as an outline. Protected names and suppressed names for 34 pleomorphic genera are listed separately. Notes and justifications are provided for possible proposed names after the list of genera. Notes are also provided on recent advances in our understanding of asexual and sexual morph linkages in Dothideomycetes. A phylogenetic tree based on four gene analyses supported 23 orders and 75 families, while 35 families still lack molecular data

Balancing the order of the human world: natural and socio-historical confitions
Przedmiotem rozważań są różne sposoby rozumienia idei zrównoważonego rozwoju, w odniesieniu do trzech współzależnych dziedzin ludzkiego świata. Nadrzędnym celem wprowadzenia zasady zrównoważonego rozwoju jest osiągniecie trwałej symbiozy antroposfery z biosfera, polegające na współdziałaniu gatunku homo sapiens z przebiegiem procesów ewolucyjnych. Zachowanie tej równowagi jest warunkiem uniknięcia samozagłady. Tezą mojego artykułu będzie uzasadnienie twierdzenia, że optymalna strategia równoważenia rozwoju antroposfery polega na uruchomieniu takich samych mechanizmów utrzymywania dynamicznej równowagi jakie działają w naturalnych ekosystemach. Postaram się także pokazać, że antropocentryczna interpretacja zasady zrównoważonego rozwoju jest komplementarna z biocentryzmem.This paper considers various approaches to sustainable development and the relationship of the concept to three independent areas of the human world. The primary goal of implementing sustainable development is to achieve a symbiosis between the anthroposphere and the biosphere - a symbiosis characterised by harmony between Homo sapiens and evolutionary processes. Maintaining this balance is necessary if we are to avoid self-extermination. I wish to demonstrate here that the best strategy for the sustainable development of the anthroposphere involves maintaining a dynamic balance using the same mechanisms found to operate in natural ecosystems. I will also try to show that an anthropocentric interpretation of the principle of sustainable development complements biocentrism
The philosophical background of sustainable development
Przedmiotem rozważan są problemy związane z filozoficznym uzasadnieniem koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju. W tym kontekście ekofilozofia jest rozumiana jako nowa dziedzina filozofowania w obrębie której poszukuje się teoretycznego uzasadnienia trwałego rozwoju ludzkiego swiata w symbiozie z Przyroda. W konfrontacji głównych idei ekofilozofii z tradycyjną filozofią zmienia sie motyw przewodni filozofowania. Nowa filozofia nie poszukuje uzasadnienia eksploatatorskiej postawy człowieka wobec Przyrody, lecz przyznając biosferze wartość per se rozważa możliwość harmonijnej koegzystencji gatunku ludzkiego ze wszystkimi istotami żywymi wchodzącymi w skład ziemskiej biosfery. Zrównoważony rozwój jest na gruncie ekofilozofii rozumiany jako poszukiwanie właściwej miary określajacej ludzkie działania w środowisku. Jest on mechanizmem, który należy wbudować w rozwój cywilizacji zachodniej, aby - podobnie jak cywilizacja Majów - nie udławiła sie swoją własna potegą. Możliwość ekofilozofii jest uwarunkowana odpowiedzia na pytanie: Czy istnieje nieuchronny antagonizm między Naturą a kulturą? Treścia artykułu jest uzasadnienie negatywnej odpowiedzi na to pytanie.The present paper discusses the problems connected with the philosophical justification of sustainable development. In this context ecophilosophy is perceived as a new branch of philosophy devoted to the search for theoretical grounds for sustainable development of the human world in a symbiosis with Nature. When we confront the main ideas of ecophilosophy with those of traditional philosophy the basic motivation of philosophical inquiry changes considerably. The new philosophy does not try to justify human exploitation of Nature; by endowing the biosphere with a value per se, but rather contemplates the possibility of a harmonious coexistence of human beings with all other creatures living in the biosphere. Sustainable development is understood as a search for a proper measure of human activity in the environment. It is a mechanism that should be incorporated into the development of western civilization so that our civilization does not choke on its own power.The potential of ecophilosophy depends on the response to the question: “Is the antagonism between Nature and culture inevitable?” This paper tries to demonstrate that it is not
Society “Possessed by Ecology” is it a Threat to Human Freedom and Democracy?
Przedmiotem rozważań jest krytyczna analiza głównych idei ekofilozofii i polityki pro-ekologicznej. Argumenty krytyczne zgłaszane ze strony zwolenników liberalnego kapitalizmu zostaną przedstawione na przykładzie po-glądów Vaclava Klausa, a ze strony przedstawicieli tradycyjnego humanizmu na przykładzie poglądów Luca Ferry’ego. Rezultatem przeprowadzonych analiz będzie wykazanie, że krytyka polityki pro-ekologicznej dokonana przez V. Klausa w kontekście jego polemiki ze zwolennikami tzw. environmentalizmu jest oparta na nieporozumieniu. Natomiast argumenty krytyczne przedstawione przez L. Ferry’ego nie uwzględniają historycznego rozwoju humanizmu. Podsumowaniem rozważań jest twierdzenie, że realizacja polityki pro-ekologicznej nie polega na zerwaniu z tradycją humanizmu – jak sugeruje Ferry, lecz wymaga zreformowania tej tradycji. Przyznanie nieinstrumental-nej wartości naturalnym ekosystemom i w konsekwencji uwzględnianie interesów naturalnego środowiska w polityce może być postrzegane jako nowy etap rozwoju humanizmu. W nowej fazie rozwoju humanizmu nazy-wanego „humanizmem jutra” doskonalenie człowieka nie polega już na działaniach prowadzących do zerwania z Naturą, ani na dążeniu do jej zdominowania i podboju, lecz na mozolnym.The aim of this paper is a critical analysis of ecophilosophy and pro-ecologial politics. I present the arguments of the supporters of liberal capitalism on the basis of Vaclav Klaus’s opinions; and the arguments of traditional humanism on the basis of the views of Luc Ferry. My analysis will demonstrate that Klaus’s polemics with the supporters of the so called ‘environmentalism’ is based on a misunderstanding. Whereas Luc Ferry’s critical arguments fail to take into account the historical development of humanism. In conclusion I demonstrate that, contrary to what Ferry claims, pro-ecological poli-tics does not involve a breach with the humanistic tradition, it only requires a reform of that tradition. In a new phase of development of humanism, which we may call the ‘humanism of tomorrow’, human improvement does not entail a breach with Nature, or a conquest of Nature, it entails a new pact with Nature that will be realized by means of sustainable development
Sustainable development as "bewitching the world" - polemic comments
Autorka podejmuje polemikę z Marią Mendel, Małgorzatą Puchowską i Sylwestrem Zielką autorami artykułu "Zrównoważony rozwój - ''Czarowanie świata" ciągle i dla wszystkich dobrego?", zamieszczonym na łamach Problemów Ekologii w nrze 3/2008. Autorka uważa, ze artykuł był zamierzoną prowokacją, a twierdzenie, że zrównoważony rozwój jest społeczną praktyką dążenia do wszechogarniającej trwałości świata dobrego dla wszystkich form życia, które się nań składają jest obezwładniającym nieporozumieniem.The author initiates polemics with Maria Mendel, Małgorzata Puchowska and Sylwester Zielka - authors of the article entitled "Sustainable development: "Bewitching the world" still beneficial for everybody?" published in the issue no. 3/2008 of "Problemy Ekologii". The author claims that the article was an intended provocation and a statement that sustainable development is a social practice aimed at an all-embracing sustainability of the world beneficial for all forms of life which are part of it is an overpowering misunderstanding
Albert Schweitzer's ethics of respect for life and ecophilosophy
Przedmiotem rozważań jest analiza głównych założeń etyki czci dla życia Alberta Schweitzera, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem trudności, na jakie ona napotyka. Zasadnicza trudność wynika z rozwiązywania dylematów moralnych związanych z realizacji nakazu szacunku dla wszelkich przejawów życia w świecie, w którym życie toczy się z "żoładka do żoładka". Etyka szacunku dla życia, podkreślając moralność autonomii człowieka, każe mu działać wbrew regułom, według, których toczy się życie na Ziemi. Jak zatem pogodzić nieusuwalne zło tego świata z nieustannym obarczaniem ludzkiego sumienia poczuciem winy? Schweitzer uzasadnia etyki czci dla życia przez odwołanie się do metafizycznej woli życia, która wprawdzie jest nie z tego świata, lecz mimo to, stosuje je do świata rzeczywistego. Z tego dualizmu w pojmowaniu życia wywodzą się dylematy moralne jego etyki. Ekofilozofia przezwycięża dualizm Schweitzera w pojmowaniu życia i określa realizację etyki szacunku dla życia w ograniczonym zakresie. W takim zakresie jak to jest możliwe w świecie takim jaki jest.The subject of this discussion is the analysis of the main assumptions of Albert Schweitzer's ethics of respect for life with emphasis on the difficulties that such ethics faces. The main difficulty lies in the moral dilemmas which result from the implementation of the obligatory respect for all manifestations of life in the world in which life is lead "from stomach to stomach". The ethics of respect for life emphesizes man's moral autonomy and at the same time forces man to live against the rules which govern life on Earth. How can we reconcile the inherent evil of this world with the constant feeling of guilt? Schweitzer justifies the ethics of respect for life by referring to the metaphysical will to life, which is not from this world, but he applies it to the real world. Such dualistic understanding of life gives rise to the moral dilemmas of his ethics. Ecophilosophy may overcome the duality of Schweitzer understanding of life and implements the ethics of respect for life to a limited extent, to an extent which is possible in the world as it is
