Aggression as a Challenge
Theory and research- Current Problems
Edited By Hanna Liberska and Marzanna Farnicka
We live in a world of phenomena created by the human mind and by human experience, namely conflict, aggression, aggressiveness and violence. These phenomena are viewed as constructs of the mind, types of behaviour, particular experiences and emotional states, specific social interactions or even historical and political categories such as social movements, wars, angry social protests etc. The study explores the notions of aggression and violence and from an individual and a social perspective analyses their determinants in various environments in childhood, adolescence and adulthood. It is an attempt to join the global discussion on reaction conditions and key points that are connected with the risk of pathologization of the personality and its behaviour.

Stages and paths of aggression development – knowledge that awaits being uncovered
We live in times when science is capable of recognising the human genotype based on fragments of tissue. They are able to determine their properties, tendencies, or even future appearance and health. The source of this knowledge can mainly by sought in the natural sciences. On the grounds of their discoveries, particularly those concerning the genetic code, we are able to almost precisely predict changes of an individual’s appearance, their lifestyle (e.g., diet), patterns of behaviour in various situations and even significant lifetime choices such as choosing a partner (see Walesa, 1988). Therefore, it is worthwhile to consider whether there is anything yet to be discovered, anything that is worthwhile or necessary to be examined. Moreover, what is the role of the social sciences, particularly psychology, in these studies?
