L’OUSIA DANS LE THÉÉTÈTE ET LE SOPHISTE

Author(s): Elsa Grasso / Language(s): French Issue: 18-19/2021

The Theætetus and the Sophist present in succession two “battles” regarding ousia. In so doing, ousia is placed at the heart of what is essential to both dialogues : in fact, ousia interconnects with the conditions of possibility, both physical and metaphysical, of logos and epistèmè. However, each dialogue brings differing conceptions of discourse and science into play, and both articulate a different train of thought regarding being. Ousia appears differently in the two dialogues and it is not the same thing as the notion of ousia, usually considered to be truly Platonic, presented in the central books of the Republic, which neither the Socrates of the Theætetus nor the Stranger of the Sophist put forward. Both present ways out of the battles, each has its own middle course. Against the thesis of the non‑immutability of ousia, the Theætetus establishes that there is not only motion. And, unlike the doctrine that reduces ousia to Forms excluding all motion, the Sophist shows that while there is not only motion, there is not only rest either. Such different orientations in the treatment of ousia, just below and just above doctrinal Platonism as it were, adjust to distinctions in the epistemological stakes : even if the Theætetus emphasizes that science proceeds from an activity of the soul bringing together “commons”, it is not yet a question, as it will be the following day, of systematically getting epistèmè to intellectually grasp a set of eidetic relationships, nor of making logos itself the elaboration of relationships. One needs to have left the field where those in favour of motion are challenged on their own ground, and in an albeit transformed field marked out by the partisans of eide which is not the field hierarchical metaphysics either, it will become possible to analyse the discourse itself as a relational framework that is consistent with the framework of ousia.

MATIÈRE LOCALE ET SUBSTANCES ASTRALES CHEZ ARISTOTE

Author(s): Fabienne Baghdassarian / Language(s): French Issue: 18-19/2021

This paper deals with the Aristotelian notion of topical matter (ὕλη τοπική) mentioned in a few passages of the Metaphysics and ascribed to the celestial bodies. Taking into account the metaphysical context of each occurrence of this notion, it tries to determine for what metaphysical use this notion has been developed and what impact it has on the ousiological analysis of the celestial substances. It suggests that the notion of topical matter, although intended to provide a convenient tool that makes possible a metaphysical, i.e. universal study of sensible substances, by allowing to subordinate every sensible substance to similar principles, in fact prevents celestial substances from being defined as ordinary hylomorphic compounds and leads to conceive them as a particular type of substances.

ESSENCE AND SUBSTANCE IN BOETHIUS: A MATTER OF TERMINOLOGY

Author(s): Renato de Filippis / Language(s): English Issue: 18-19/2021

Thanks to the studies carried out during the last forty years, which have contributed significantly to the elimination of certain inveterate historiographical prejudices, it is now possible to state with complete confidence that Boethius is one of the greatest philosophers of the entire Occidental tradition. Born at a turning point in the cultural and political history of the West, he is not only the well‑known author of the Consolatio philosophiae, but also a leading expert on the quadrivium and, in particular, the trivium.

PUISSANCE ET ACTE CHEZ AVERROÈS : ENTRE ONTOLOGIE ET THÉOLOGIE

Author(s): Cristina Cerami / Language(s): French Issue: 18-19/2021

The present paper aims at presenting Averroes’ doctrine of act and potency in the framework of his general conception of metaphysics as a science. By tracing the origins of his doctrine back to Alexander of Aphrodisias, it shows that Averroes conceives act and potency as concomitant attributes of being qua being and as terms πρὸς ἕν and ἀφ’ ἑνός. According to this reading, the study of these two notions, considered as such, constitutes an essential step in Averroes’ metaphysical project, whose ultimate goal is to account for the essence of the first of all forms: God.

Funksioni i ëndrrës në poemën “Andrra e jetës” të Ndre Mjedjës

Funksioni i ëndrrës në poemën “Andrra e jetës” të Ndre Mjedjës

Author(s): Artesa Osmanaj / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 38.2/2019

Theme "The function of the dream in the poem" Andra of life "of Ndre Mjedja" comes as a proposition for the International Seminar on Albanian Language, Literature and Culture, aiming to get closer to the poetry masterpiece of Ndre Mjeda "Andras of Life" concretely to investigate the role and function of dream-dreaming in the poem. "Andrra of life" is one of the main poems of Mjeda, which is often considered by critics as his masterpiece. To understand how the dream come true, we will deal with the theme, the features of the composition, the artistic features, the symbolism, the characters, the poem in general as a poetic dream. With a symbolic structure consisting of three parts, Trina, Zoga, Lokja, this poem appears to us as a life story wrapped in social colors where each of the parts represents a human life and a special ending to it by bringing art to art life, a natural season in connection with human seasons. Our interpretation will focus on Zog, exactly in the Dream of Dreams, in the dream of life. We will not miss Loka and her social dream. It is between dreams and death that the characters that represent the dream of life, the coming of death, must be seen. The fate of Bird is presented in the second part of this poem, which consists of four poems, in which Mjeda through the dream strongly shows the experiences, the situations of both Zog and Lokes. Both women in the poem of Mjeda, mother and daughter dream, but her daughter dreams differently, for a boy, a dream of love and mother otherwise, for the good of tomorrow, a social dream. Here, one must surely see the reality of dream awakening. Dreams and life will be seen as two different directions for treatment, one capturing imagination, the other being reality. As the title says, in the poem, the dream of life also takes on a meaning of life representing a vital metaphor. The search is profound, but the goal is through this study to encourage curiosity to investigate, interpret and capture the most eminent and characteristical segments of the poem related to its dream and its function. All of this will make an effort to accomplish thanks to the help of literature, research and non-scarcity studies that refer to this poem by using a comparative, research, historical, empirical methodology as a research methodology.

Al-Farabi’s Doctrine on the Head of the Virtuous City in the Context of Contemporary Kazakhstan

Al-Farabi’s Doctrine on the Head of the Virtuous City in the Context of Contemporary Kazakhstan

Author(s): Gaukhar Konayeva,Gulzhikhan Nurysheva,Zhamilya Amirkulova,Aliya Ramazanova,Karlygash Mukhtarova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

Abū Naṣr al-Farabi is rightfully considered one of the greatest thinkers in the world whose teachings have always been and will remain relevant through all stages of human history. Al-Farabi’s greatness lies in the fact that every man, nation, and state can find answers to their questions in their encyclopedic heritage and define a path of future development. When speaking about the role of philosophy in human life and society, the well-known Kazakh writer Mukhtar Auezov described al-Farabi as a ray of light in the dark labyrinths of the human path to the truth.

Tarp kantiškojo racionalizmo ir moralės mistikos: moralės pagrindų paieška A. Jokubaičio filosofijoje

Tarp kantiškojo racionalizmo ir moralės mistikos: moralės pagrindų paieška A. Jokubaičio filosofijoje

Author(s): Aistė Noreikaitė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 1(97)/2020

Although it is common to associate the thought of A. Jokubaitis with political philosophy, this article argues that his texts also allow us to talk about a specific moral philosophy of A. Jokubaitis. At the center of it we find an attempt to articulate and discuss the grounding ideas of morality. The article argues that the first two ideas – an idea of unconditional character of morality and an idea of ontological grounding – are related to Kant’s influence on A. Jokubaitis philosophy. These two ideas allow us to explain morality as an autonomous part of reality, which is different from the empirical one but nonetheless real. This part of reality is grounded in the first-person perspective of a moral subject and can be characterized by implicit normativity and unconditionality. The first-person perspective structures a radically different relation to our reality, which allows us to be agents, not simply spectators. Such an interpretation of Kant allows to associate A. Jokubaitis with his contemporary Kantians, such as Ch. Korsgaard, B. Herman, O. O’Neill, and A. Reath. However, the third idea, the one of a person, which becomes more visible in his book Politinis idiotas, transcends the Kantian conception of practical reason and encourages to perceive morality and its grounding in a much wider context. The concept of a person allows A. Jokubaitis to distance himself from Kantian rationalism and integrate social and mystical aspects of morality, which he has always found important.

LIFE IN PROCESS: THE LIVED-BODY ETHICS FOR FUTURE

LIFE IN PROCESS: THE LIVED-BODY ETHICS FOR FUTURE

Author(s): Anne Sauka / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The article explores the concept of ‘life’ via processual ontology, contrasting the approaches of substance and processual ontologies, and investigates the link between ontological assumptions and sociopolitical discourses, stating that the predominant substance ontologies also promote an objectifying and anthropocentric framework in sociopolitical discourses and ethical approaches. Arguing for a necessary shift in the ontological conceptualization of life to enable environmentally-minded ethics for the future, the article explores the tie between the sociopolitical discourses embedded in a worldview that is grounded in substance ontology and ethical frameworks. Whilst affirming this tie, this study also explicates the limitations and potential feasibility of a processual understanding of life, in the context of the existential disposition of the self-alienated lived-body self that is ontologically predisposed to objectification as a necessary pre-condition to human self-awareness.

Kralj bez tijela i njegova sjena. Prema političkoj teologiji filma

Kralj bez tijela i njegova sjena. Prema političkoj teologiji filma

Author(s): Mario Vrbančić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 04/160/2020

Inspired by the work of Eric Santner (1996, 2011) on political theology and the king’s two bodies, in this paper, I question the political theology of film. I analyze how the carnal dimension of sovereignty (or king’s second body, the body of his power), migrates into a new body, the body of the people, and in various traces appears in the filmic mode of production that marked the twentieth century. I analyse or instead bring into imaginary connection two characters (one real, the other fictional) who in a way embody this migration: (1) Judge Daniel Paul Schreber (whose autobiographical record of mental illness, from the moment it was published (in 1903), occupied the attention not only of psychiatrists and psychoanalysts but also of various theorists) and (2) Dr. Caligari, a hypnotist in the film The Office of Dr. Caligari (dir. Robert Wiene, 1920), one of the most famous characters of German expressionist film.

Filozofija kao znanost slobode

Filozofija kao znanost slobode

Author(s): Igor Mikecin / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 01/161/2021

Gemäß der Dreiteilung des Hegelschen Systems in Logik, Philosophie der Natur und Philosophie des Geistes gliedert sich auch Hegels Begriff der Freiheit. Die Freiheit ist in der Logik die Freiheit des Begriffs selbst, der sich von den Bestimmungen der Seinslogik und der Wesenslogik für die Bestimmungen der Begriffslogik befreit. Der Begriff gelangt zu seiner Freiheit in der absoluten Idee, die nichts anderes als die Idee der Freiheit ist. Auf dem logischen Freiheitsbegriff gründet die Freiheit, wie sie in der Philosophie des Geistes auf allen Stufen der Entwicklung des Geistes begriffen wird. In der Philosophie der Natur aber wird die Natur als die Negation der Freiheit und als notwendige Vermittlung der Idee der Freiheit im Fortgang ihrer Verwirklichung aufgefasst. In der Philosophie des Geistes stellt sich heraus, dass die Freiheit das Wesen des Geistes ist. Das Selbstbewusstsein des Geistes erscheint zuerst im subjektiven Geist, der sich aus der Natur befreit. Die weitere Verwirklichung des Geistes geschieht durch den objektiven Geist, der sich im abstrakten Recht, in der Moralität und Sittlichkeit objektiviert. In der Weltgeschichte, welche die letzte Bestimmung des objektiven Geistes ist, wird der Geist als der Fortschritt im Bewusstsein der Freiheit verwirklicht. Im Bereich des objektiven Geistes wird die Freiheit als die Freiheit des Willens begriffen. Der Wille ist dabei kein Substrat der Freiheit, und die Freiheit ist keine bloße Eigenschaft des Willens, sondern sie ist die Substanz oder das Wesen des Willens. Gemäß der Gliederung des objektiven Geistes in das abstrakte Recht, die Moralität und die Sittlichkeit entwickelt sich die anfängliche abstrakte Freiheit zur immer konkreteren Freiheit. Das abstrakte Recht, die Moralität und die Sittlichkeit sind die Stufen der einheitlichen Entwicklung und Verwirklichung der Freiheit. Während der subjektive Geist nur die subjektive Freiheit als die Freiheit der Wahl von unmittelbar gegebenen Inhalten und Zwecken (der unmittelbare oder natürliche Wille) hat, eignet dem objektiven Geiste die formale Freiheit des persönlichen Willens (das Recht), die formale Freiheit des autonomen subjektiven Willens (die Moralität) und schließlich die substantiale Freiheit des substantialen Willens (die Sittlichkeit). Am Ende der Sittlichkeit aber bleibt noch die Unfreiheit übrig, welche der objektive Geist als solcher nicht überwinden kann. Die Freiheit ist auf der Stufe des objektiven Geistes immer noch begrenzt, denn sie erscheint in ihm als die Willensfreiheit. Die Freiheit als das Wesen des Geistes kommt zum Bewusstsein erst dann, wenn das Absolute als der absolute Geist in der Kunst, Religion und Philosophie bewusst wird. Jede von drei Gestalten des absoluten Geistes überwindet auf ihre Weise die Willensfreiheit, aber unter ihnen ist die Philosophie die freieste Gestalt des Geistes. In der Philosophie als der absoluten Wissenschaft wird die höchste Gestalt des Selbstbewusstseins des Geistes erreicht, bzw. die vollkommene Bewusstwerdung der Freiheit als seines Wesens. Dabei hat jede Stufe der Verwirklichung der Freiheit vom subjektiven über den objektiven zum absoluten Geist ihren notwendigen Ort und alle sind in das Ganze der notwendigen Momente des Systems vereinigt. Durch die Philosophie wird der Geist für seine Freiheit als sein Wesen vollkommen befreit. Er ist als das Zurückkehren zu sich selbst aus seinem Anderen bestimmt, so dass er schließlich alle Äußerlichkeit aufhebt, bzw. sie in seine Innerlichkeit aufnimmt, und dessen bewusst wird, dass das Andere von ihm nicht von ihm getrennt ist, sondern sein Anderssein ist. Vor aller Willensfreiheit, sei es Freiheit der Wahl, moralische Freiheit oder sittliche Freiheit, ist die Freiheit das Wesen des Geistes, und zwar die Selbstbestimmung, die keiner äußerlichen Bestimmung unterliegt: bei sich sein im Anderen seiner selbst, bzw. das Selbstverhältnis durch das Verhältnis zum Anderen als dem eigenen Anderen. Die Philosophie ist als die Wissenschaft des Absoluten zugleich die Wissenschaft der Freiheit. Durch die Freiheit kehrt sich das Absolute als die absolute Idee aus seinem An-sich-Sein frei in die Natur als in sein Anderssein um, kehrt im Geiste zu sich selbst zurück und offenbart sich in seiner Wahrheit als der absolute Geist. Die absolute Idee ist nichts anderes als der an sich seiende Geist, und das Absolute ist nach seiner höchsten Bestimmung der absolut selbstbewusste Geist. Die absolute Wissenschaft als die höchste Gestalt des absoluten Geistes ist das absolute Selbstbewusstsein des Absoluten selbst. Dass die Philosophie die Wissenschaft der Freiheit ist, bedeutet nicht nur, dass die Freiheit der Gegenstand der Philosophie ist, sondern auch, dass die Freiheit selbst durch die Philosophie in ihrer Wahrheit verwirklicht wird. Die Wahrheit der Freiheit ist, dass die Freiheit das Wesen des Absoluten ist. Das zu seiner Wahrheit befreite Absolute ist der absolute Geist.

›Kanonische Menschen‹? Zum Verhältnis von literarischer Form und Lebensform

›Kanonische Menschen‹? Zum Verhältnis von literarischer Form und Lebensform

Author(s): Christine Magerski,Aida Alagić / Language(s): German Issue: 29/2020

Novalis formulated the imperative that the life of a canonical human being must be symbolic. A novel made by us should be life. Friedrich Schlegel added that every educated person contains a novel inside him, but does not need to write it. Those who do, however, publish themselves. But can life be shaped into a novel? Georg Lukács’ volume of essays entitled "Soul and Form" revolves around this question. The first part of this article is also devoted to this question. The second part attempts to provide an answer to this question by pointing to the ›artist’s novel‹ as the decisive link between art and life. The concluding, third part of the article illustrates the significance of the artist’s novel with the example of Michel Houellebecq’s "Map and Territory".

Methodological Foundations of the Language of Metaphysics

Methodological Foundations of the Language of Metaphysics

Author(s): Natalia Gondek / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2020

The present paper concerns the methodological foundations of the language of metaphysics developed by M. A. Krąpiec and S. Kamiński. The specific character of the language of metaphysics rests, primarily, on analogy conceived ontically, the basis of which is being apprehended by existential judgements. This language uses a specific kind of terminology, i.e. analogous/transcendental. It does not seek to disambiguate the concepts but to develop such expressions which are characterized by an analogous and unlimited scope of predication which apprehends everything that exists. By virtue of these expressions the language of metaphysics is capable of presenting the general existential aspect of reality, which constitutes the proper dimension for metaphysical studies.

Le changement du sens des notions d’être, d’éternité et de temps dans la scolastique moderne

Le changement du sens des notions d’être, d’éternité et de temps dans la scolastique moderne

Author(s): Povilas Aleksandravičius / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2011

At the core of Thomas Aquinas metaphysics of being lies the actual divide between the act of being (actus essendi) and the essence of every living being. This context of metaphysics alone allows the understanding of the meanings of eternity and time as used by Thomas Aquinas. Duns Scotus understands being in a different way, he provides the concept of univocity of being, in other words, the meaning of being does not change with regard of its affiliation to the God or to the created living being. In this way, supposedly, the rational mind of man can, in effect, attain the God:in the same way as we gain comprehension of any living being, so we are granted the ability to comprehend the God on the condition that our minds are sufficiently deep. Thomas Aquinas proposition about the underlying inability of human rationality to attain the God is erased from this approach. As early as the 15th century the followers of Thomas Aquinas forgot or openly critisised their educator‘s proposed reality of the divide between the act of being and the essence of being, and showed tendencies to accept Duns Scotus’ concept of the univocity of being. In this way the comprehension of being, and even that of the God, has become limited to the rules of human ratio,i.e. the rationalising of the comprehension of being has taken place. The law of causality, which Thomas Aquinas held applicable only to the domain of the created beings, modern scholastics introduced to the domain of the Divine being, as though the God could be comprehended as the ultimate cause and measured by the identical meaning of the cause concept, which is professed in the created world. The God is turned into Causa sui; a phantom concept, broadly spread among modern scholastics, but entirely foreign to Thomas Aquinas. The very modern scholasticism here, in a manner of speaking, converges with the general post Cartesian European metaphysics, particularly with its Leibnitz version. Eternity gains the understanding of a rationally interpreted concept of immobility, i.e. creating logical opposition to mobility and by abstracting from all features of mobility to produce a pure idea of immobility – eternity. The Thomas Aquinas’ concept of eternity here is forgotten or intentionally relocated to the field of theology, clearly separate from philosophical thinking. The concept of time, in its own turn, is devoid of its onthological weight, which it used to show in Thomas Aquinas’ texts. Now time is no more a measure of onthological passing of the created being, but an inconsiquential measure of physical movement. Hence stem endless and sterile disputes about the „subjectivity“ and „objectivity“ of time, disputes alien to Thomas Aquinas. The article concludes, that scholastics discussed in the article, despite their ambitions to pass as official interpreters of Thomas Aquinas, distorted the meaning of his texts. More, they became shareholders of the overall Western post Cartesian methaphysics, irrespective of their declarative struggle with the outcomes of this metaphysics (particularly in the area of morales). The assumption that thinking is a mere technique, as well as the whole world, and the God is mere technician, makes it pointless to fight the consequences of technology: it is senseless to destroy something what you are producing yourself continuously. The article ends in discussion about the meaning of philosophy in Thomas Aquinas works and its relevance for the modern world.

Schelling’s Answer to the Fundamental Question of Metaphysics in the Original Version Of The Philosophy Of Revelation

Schelling’s Answer to the Fundamental Question of Metaphysics in the Original Version Of The Philosophy Of Revelation

Author(s): Markus Gabriel / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2014

In seinem Aufsatz setzt sich Gabriel mit dem von Schelling analysierten Verhältnis des Menschen zur Natur auseinander. Dazu wird dargestellt, wie sich die Grundfrage der Metaphysik „Warum ist überhaupt etwas und nicht vielmehr nichts?“ bei Schelling verwandelt in die Frage: „Warum ist denn Vernunft und nicht Unvernunft?“ Dies deshalb, weil durch das Stellen der Grundfrage sich die Welt über einige ihrer Bewohner selbst thematisiert, wodurch eine Bestimmtheit hinzutritt, die nicht ignoriert werden darf. Es geht letztlich darum, die Grundfrage zugleich mit einer Reflexion auf die Frage selbst zu stellen, und dies involviert eben auch den Menschen als denjenigen, der die Frage stellt. Die Formulierung und Beantwortung der Grundfrage kann nicht von unserer eigenen Existenz abstrahieren.

Bůh jako poslední garant pravdivosti? K postulátům Boží existence podle Hanse Jonase a Roberta Spaemanna

Bůh jako poslední garant pravdivosti? K postulátům Boží existence podle Hanse Jonase a Roberta Spaemanna

Author(s): Vojtěch Šimek / Language(s): Czech Issue: 4/2020

The article responds to the claim that professional philosophers in continental Europe no longer focus on the existence or nature of God. The author shows with the example of two philosophical postulates of God’s existence that this generalisation is not true (or is an exaggeration). These are the postulates of Hans Jonas (1903 – 1993) and Robert Spaemann (1927 – 2018) that in an interesting and representative manner give an insight into the state of continental theism in the late 20th and early 21st century.The specificity of the postulates lies in the proposal of an epistemological solution to the problem of the truth of statements and facts; in Spaemann we also find a proposal for an ontological solution. The author reconstructs, analyses, compares and comments on postulates in the light of selected secondary sources.

In this text, I focus on clarifying the ontological status of logical objects. By logical objects, I mean logical constants and logical relations in the most general sense of the terms. For this purpose, I accept logical realism with regard to logical objects and maintain that, without accepting this kind of realism, the clarification of their ontological nature would not be possible.

Author(s): Aslı ÇALKIVİK / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 3/2020

The paradox pertaining to technology in world politics in the discipline of International Relations constitutes the departure point for this article: technology as a phenomenon that was always talked about without actually being thought about. Although technology is regularly invoked, discussions about it are marked by technological determinism, whereby technology gets reduced to machines and objects and is never really investigated. Taking my departure point this absent-presence of technology, I provide an alternative reading of technology by attending to the insights provided by Science, Technology, Society (STS) studies. I elaborate the ontological and epistemological underpinnings and implications of approaching technology as a socio-technical phenomenon from the perspective of STS. In this regard, I argue that an STS perspective on technology in world politics reveals the extent to which technology is not merely an instrument in world politics, but that it is in itself political thorough and thorough, and that it allows for important openings for studying technology in world politics.

Oнтолошке разлике у фотографији и икони

Oнтолошке разлике у фотографији и икони

Author(s): Željko R. Đurić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2012

In this article the author analyzes the photography and the icon, especially the ontological aspects that are related to the phenomenon of time and eternity. Photo shot is, for his distinctly historical character, an indicator and the witness of death as a product of the material and the ephemeral. On the other hand, the icon witnesses the attempt to overcome the historical, pointing to a bright future. The icon is based on the photographic, portrait and historical, but in the background it indicates something beyond. At the end, the author analyzes the similarities between the photograph and the icon, the source for which could be found in their reproductive character as well as in the need for repetition.

Једно размишљање о икони: онтологија и етика

Author(s): Irina Radosavljević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1-3/2010

This text represents one brief meditation upon ontological and ethical implications of orthodox iconography. It is inspired by Fra Angelico’s fresco of Saint Peter the Martyr and attempts to demonstrate that the goal of iconographic presentation is not to offer moral instructions or models for our behavior but to point out the fact that man in communion with God conquers death. Having that knowledge and realizing the possibility of participation in that victory is the only true inspiration for ascetic effort and sacrificial love.
