The leitmotif of this conference inscribes itself into the borderlines of the applicative research domains of biological psychology, existential and mundane phenomenology as well as anthropological linguistics. Departing from the distinction between the environment of living organisms determined by their subjective expressions of realized needs (Umwelt) and the life-world of man created on the basis of communicated contents of needs, values and ideologies (Lebenswelt), it alludes to three orders of biological-natural, linguistic and cultural modelling of the real world by human subjects who possess the quality of self-awareness. The primary model of reality is localized on the level of animals that act through physiological centers of effectors and receptors in the domain of instinctive indicators and appealing signals. The secondary model is referred to the extralinguistic reality of everyday life construed by the use of verbal means of meaning- creation and communication which occurs as such only in the realm of the human selves. The tertiary model, including the secondary one is specified as the totality of the meaningful sphere of language and culture and civilization where the representations of imagined and communicated reality are shaped by artistic creativity in accordance with value- and action-oriented principles. Special emphasis is put on the purposive nature of choice in opposition to the determinative nature of necessity. In a global measure, the questions will be posed how the necessity and choice relate to environmental conditionings resultant, for example, from social limitations, obligations or requirements as well as from the individual sense of freedom, compulsion or responsibility in the actions of the participants of human communication. And in a local measure, the topics of a detailed elaboration may be such attributes of necessity and choice as: causality, compulsiveness, consequentiality, determinism, efficacy, facultativeness, favorability, freedom, hardship, intentionality, naturalness, responsibility, predictability, preferentiality, reversibility, etc.
