And the longer I analysed the texts submitted by the authors, the more I tried to organize them according to a personally acceptable “key”, the more I became convinced of the increasing diversity of the prob- lems undertaken in special education and beyond. Hence multi- threading (and its synonyms) that I have mentioned is to reflect the character of this publication. However, there is something else that links all these texts. It is a focus on man and his multidimensionali- ty, in the context of needs, possibilities, limitations, age, choices, action, creativity. Such a concentration of scientific texts is in line with what Waldemar Furmanek wrote, pointing out that “the view on the necessity of recognizing the primacy of man (homocentrism) and adopting the assumption of the polyparadigmatic nature of ______________ 1 Synonyms of the word multithreading, <https://synonim.net/synonim/wie low%C4%85tkowo%C5%9B%C4%87>. 8 Foreword research is slowly breaking through in the opinions of researchers”2. He then went on to say, “We are going back to the four questions concerning man by I. Kant, who in the Critique of Pure Reason , when asking about man, asks: What can I know? What should I know? What can I expect? What (who) is man? (Kant 1957, p. 548)”.3 And despite the paradigmatic changes in special education 4 ori- ented on humanist concepts emphasizing the full and equal partici- pation of each person in all dimensions of individual and social life, researchers continue to explore how these assumptions are imple- mented. The analyses and research results presented in this issue are situated in relation to social change and a deep appreciation of the diversity of the world in which we operate. You will find an- swers and further questions about the condition of man (in his or her life continuum), not only those with diagnosis of disability, in the context of his or her need for self-fulfilment, passion for creating and looking for opportunities to fulfil social roles, substantive and psychological support, educational and life situation. I hope that reading the texts will provide you with inspiration to look for solutions that will contribute to building personal compe- tences of each person (including the still small one, still dependent) in the area of self-awareness, self-regulation and motivation, so that they can fully realize themselves in life. The first part of the texts concerns the heterogeneity of problems of people with intellectual disabilities. As Katarzyna Parys and Sła- womir Olszewski point out in their text: “The content we discuss is valued ambiguously in
