The text analyzes the possibilities to think of pure language as indicated in the harmonization of modes of intention in the translation activity. This language is, in a sense, a regulative idea and it have to be liberated in translation. It is essential to distinguish between the modes of intention and intended objects, between what is named in pure language and what is „overnamed“ in human languages. One of the theses in this text – that language in its auto-relation undergoes auto-modalization – makes the connection with Kierkegaard's understanding of the impossibility of direct communication. The indication of the untranslatable is an opportunity in the language of the translator to insert as indicated the elusive in the translation and thus to introduce the use of a broken language. Awakening of the "echo of the original" means a „thinking more“ (according to Kant) through the figure.

The article presents a philosophical reconstruction of the views regarding consciousness expressed by the main character of Dostoyevsky’s Notes from the Underground. The man from the underground is found to be an innovative creation when compared with Julien Sorel, the main character in Stendhal’s The Red and the Black. The original idea that consciousness is an illness is theoretically elaborated through a close analysis of the text; the article also draws on philosophical fragments found in Dostoyevsky’s manuscript. The article stresses that this concept is in contradiction with the spirit and letter of the Cartesian tradition; the hypothesis is advanced that this is due to the radically different principle of philosophizing applied here: Cogito ergo sum is replaced by Credo, ergo est. The article present a number of oppositions: consciousness vs. human nature; consciousness vs. image; consciousness vs. living life; the thesis put forward is that the image is a basic instrument of consciousness in Dostoyevsky’s world. Finally, the article raises the problem as to the novel as a philosophical genre and highlights the role of the writer as the founder of this genre.

Концепцията на Гадамер за диалога и мястото на „Другия“
In day-to-day discourse, human beings engage in dialogue. Problems arise in the interpretation of language; according to Gadamer, these problems are the basis of hermeneutics (Gadamer 1989: 455). In Truth and Method, Gadamer seeks to provide a link between culture and the understanding of the interpretation of language. Most importantly, Gadamer is concerned with what understanding the “others” have of the information they receive or read and how they make sense of this information, taking into consideration the cultural implications.

The article presents a many-sided analysis of the famous phrase in Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot, “Beauty will save the world”. Presented here in the context of the Schillerian influences during Dostoyevsky’s youth, its originality is demonstrated. The article carefully examines the appearance of the phrase in the text of the novel, its relation to Prince Myshkin, and its later destiny, whereby it has become a stable formula with different emphases from those in the novel. In the context of the main theme of The Idiot, beauty is conceived ontologically, personalistically, and mystically: it is embodied in the God-man Christ, and as such is a transformative holy force. For Dostoyevsky, beauty saves because it is another word for God. Outside Christ, beauty can be only human, and hence is inevitably situation along the axis of good and evil.

What are the possibilities of the philosophy after the end of the „Great stories"? A refusal of the pretensions or introducing of pragmatic criteria in the field of understanding? Preformulation of the problematics as a political or social one? All those are possible solutions of an impossible condition. Of a condition after the condition itself. The postmodern condition. That means not a simple mirror-reversed world, but a world of mirrors; a world in which the authenticity exists only as a seeming shine, horizon. As a matter of fact, the classical philosophical problems — of the nature of our existence, about the world and existence of God seem to have lost their motivated power. But nowadays just the answers have forced us to ask the suitable questions.

This article examines the manner in which Foucault is being related to the existential psychopathology during the 50s, according to the newly deposited Foucauldian archives at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in 2013. In particular, the text concentrates its attention on an unpublished and unedited manuscript: one of the courses of lectures at the University of Lille done by Foucault in 1952–1954, and especially the course on “Phenomenology and Binswanger” (1953–1954). While analysing this Foucault’s course of lectures where the emphasis lies on the philosophical reflexion on the anthropological problem of psychopathology, we are becoming finally able to throw some light upon Foucault’s project of analysing the historicity of the ‘forms of experience’ – a project that has been placed in the very heart of Foucauldian “archaeology” of madness in 1961.
