Responsibility on the Internet

Author(s): Aleksandra Budzisz / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

The explanation of the responsibility theme is based on distinctions concerning the physical world and the world of Web. There are theses that claim that the world of the Web exists on equal rights with the physical world. In both realities the context of individuality may be seen from the perspective of existence and presence. The issue of responsibility is based on deliberations of two philosophers – Roman Ingarden and Hans Jonas. Ingarden described its ontological and axiological forms, whereas Jonas explored the issue of the responsibility seen as a vision of the new ethics that results from the needs of technology. Those philosophers made an important distinction between positive responsibility and the responsibility that is based on power and the possibility of fulfilling the positive values and the general idea of a man.

Guillaume Apollinaire et Faik Konica : une amitié et une collaboration de caractère européen et balkanique

Author(s): Luan Starova / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2017

In 1903, on the road of exile, Albanian prolific and versatile author Faik Konica met a kindred spirit, Guillaume Apollinaire. The chronicle the latter published on 20 August 1903 in L'Européen Weekly and entitled War on French words in Germany would become the starting point of almost a decade of correspondence between the two men of letters. These relations would take place in a period that would become significant for their future development. In fact, their cordiality would go so far that Apollinaire would visit Konica and stay at his London home on two occasions (in November 1903 and in May 1904). Apollinaire had understood well the “double persona” Faik Konica used in his literary work: one pseudonym for his works directed towards European aestheticism, and another for the ones directed towards Balkan militancy. Konica wanted to anchor his homeland Albania in Europe, and to bring it back to where it rightfully belonged after five centuries of Orientalisation in Ottoman Asia, meeting on his way the poetry magician of Europe and of the “aesthetic of differences”. The result of the effort was that relations between Apollinaire and Konica were not random and anecdotal. They derived from deep affinities that could not be neglected. The friendship of these two “uproots” could develop and could last so long only because of the European dream they both shared.

Public Art in Turkey: Between Politics and Aesthetics

Author(s): Yordanka Bibina / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

What we may call “public art” in Turkey starts with the establishment of the Turkish Republic itself. Mostly, it is associated with monuments and sculptures in public spaces in the modernising urban environment within the newly founded secular state that brought changes not only to the way of life and its dynamics, but also to the entire system of values and the aesthetics of space. The most popular public space, the square, altered completely its function and vision: from being entirely the domain of men enclosed between the mosque, the bazaar, and the coffee-house, to becoming the vital point of the new Europeanised Turkish cities highlighting thus the national identity and memory, and the new political order. This brief survey focuses on the different approaches to public spaces in Turkey and to public works of art, which are more than just ideological instruments of power. The study of this situation in a society that is concerned with its own identity appears as one of the most important issues of contemporary public art in Turkey. On the other hand, public art raises awareness about the value of art in public dialogue, and helps bring forward new interpretations and artistic quests.

Интенционалност и съзнание: опит за разбулване на мистичното преживяване като ординарно неинтенционално съзнание

Author(s): Petar Radoev Dimkov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2017

Perhaps the most widely accepted definition of consciousness is the one that it has an intentional directedness: it is a consciousness of something, an objective consciousness (Brentano, Husserl). Husserl speaks of the existence of such contents of consciousness, which are objectless, unintentional. Mystical experience is a concept which includes idiosyncratic experiences of union with a deity or a principle, a union with a variety of unique traits. In this article, an attempt is made to define mystical experience as an experience which consists of unintentional content of consciousness. In this way, mystical experience can be demystified and revealed as an ordinary state of consciousness, a consciousness inherent only to man. The positives of the experience are not negated but rather from the theoretical perspective of the discipline of neurotheology mystical experience is defined as an ordinary human state, even in the face of the difficulties of its definition and description.

Czarne słońce i błądzące planety – wokół „El Desdichado” Nervala

Author(s): Piotr Śniedziewski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 5/2016

This article explores the metaphor of the black sun in Gérard de Nerval’s works, in particular the famous sonnet ‘El Desdichado’ and the autobiographical fiction ‘Aurelia’. The French writer uses this metaphor in a variety of contexts (astronomical, religious, solar) in order to signal a melancholy crisis, which characterizes not only the lyrical subject in the sonnet or the narrator in the story, but also the writer himself. Śniedziewski points out the fact that Nerval’s metaphor, though it carries a distinctively subjective mark, also appears in many other works (by writers such as Jean-Paul, Heine, Gautier, Hugo) and is inscribed into Romantic attempts to define depressive states.

Windt discusses the phenomenology of dreaming as well as the relations between the sleeping physical body and the sleeping ‘I’. This allows her to explore alternative states of consciousness and their relationship to dreams and dreaming.

Polityczne doświadczenie obrazu. O "Obrazie krytycznym (obrazie krytyki)" Georgesa Didi-Hubermana

Author(s): Andrzej Leśniak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 5/2016

In ‘Critical Image/Image of Criticism,’ Georges Didi-Huberman presents the phenomenon of negative dialectics as a turning point in the entire philosophical tradition. According to this new interpretation, negative dialectics allows us to rethink the image as a critical instance. The French philosopher offers a commentary on Adorno’s concept, but he also outlines a vision for a critical practice at whose centre we have images of a practice that goes beyond the dichotomy of engagement and non-engagement. Images provoke strong affective reactions, allowing us to define our own position with respect to reality, and this is why they can be said to enable politically meaningful experiences. Didi-Huberman’s attempt to relate visuality and politics is consistent with the ever more urgent necessity he sees, across his output, to think about the political as an essential horizon for intellectual activity.

Literaturoznawstwo jako nauka. Nowe szanse, stare zagrożenia

Author(s): Andrzej Skrendo / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

Skrendo explores the scientific status of research in the humanities. Looking at the problem from a historical perspective, he reaches back to the anti-positivist turn and argues that the transformation that began at that time was about finding a common ground for all sciences. From a theoretical perspective, Skrendo’s argument draws on constructivist approaches, broadly understood, from Fleck and Kuhn to Luhmann and Latour. These researchers help us develop non-positivist approaches to the humanities’ scientific assumptions and goals.

Author(s): Deyan Penchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2017

This article discuss the relationship between stoicism, scepticism and unhappy consciousness in Hegel’s “Phenomenology of Spirit” and George Byron’s play “Cain”. The Byron’s biblical hero Cain, a son of Adam and Eve, raises a number of philosophical questions and like Hegel’s concept of scepticism, revolt against the established heavenly norms and laws. Through the knowledge that comes from Lucifer and like Hegel’s unhappy consciousness, Cain reaches the self-consciousness for himself.

Моделиране на истината в логическото пространство

Author(s): Silviya Kristeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2017

This statue will pose the question for the truth beyond language constituents in its defining and achieving and from this point toward its modeling grounded above all on cognitive parameters. The concrete solution will be searched concerning Wittgenstein’s conception, offered in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, for the “truth-conditions” of a proposition in logical space as its “representing relation” and for the way through which the proposition structures logical space. We will search whether this will be a legitimate version of a “logic of truth” in the sense of Kant, and which elements of Kantian logical project can be applied for the division of logical space for the cognition of an object and its cognitive dislocation in logical universum, exactly from the point of view of the whole cognitively and objectively formed universum. How we can outline the approaches, the algorithm of a “real-objective” calculation of the object value in the logical space.

Prečo "σοφία" v Sir 6,22? Disciplína cesty za múdrosťou.

Author(s): Pavel Prihatný / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2017

Present short essay aims to point out consistency in utilising wisdom terminology in Hebrew text of the Book of Ben Sira (Ben Sira) as well as in its Greek translation by the grandson (Sirach). Both of them, especially Sirach, work in strongly Hellenistic context and this fact influences methodologies they apply in their common effort which consists in fortifying their tribesmen in faith and in exposing them the teaching about authentic wisdom. Essay presents and endeavours to prove this methodology as used in the Poem of the sixth chapter of the Book.

Múdrosť a múdry: O poznaní a nepoznaní

Author(s): James L. Crenshaw / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2017

Contemporary researchers have cast considerable light on the limits of ancient knowledge imposed from outside the human intellect. As for obstacles to learning from within, modern interpreters have yet to give an adequate analysis of students' resistance, despite translations of Sumerian and Egyptian scribal texts and corresponding comments in Sirach. A constant complaint runs through these school texts that some students resisted all effort to educate them. Also, a section in Sirach dealing with difficulties confronting teachers and students demonstrates the extent of affinities between Egyptian and Israelite wisdom literature. Ben Sira concentrates on irksome aspects of learning, using images from agricultural labor and recalling the desirable season of harvest. In trying to understand why so many obstacles stand between learner and a desired goal, Ben Sira suggests that knowledge plays a game of hide and seek, testing students to determine whether or not they deserve any reward. The paper offers the answer to the question: “Did biblical scholars think of knowledge as an achievement or a gift?”

Psycholinguistics and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence

Author(s): Lidija Krotenko / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2017

The author of the article reveals the possibilities of psycholinguistics in the identification and interpretation of languages and texts of Alien Civilizations. The author combines modern interdisciplinary research in psycholinguistics with the theory “Evolving Matter” proposed by Oleg Bazaluk and concludes that the identification of languages and texts of Alien Civilizations, as well as the communication of terrestrial civilization with Extraterrestrial Intelligence, is in principle possible. To that end, it is necessary to achieve the required level of the modeling of neurophilosophy and to include these achievements of modern psycholinguistics studies: а) language acquisition; b) language comprehension; c) language production; d) second language acquisition. On the one hand, the possibilities of neurophilosophy to accumulate and model advanced neuroscience research; on the other hand, highly specialized psycholinguistic studies in language evolution are able to provide the communication of terrestrial civilization with Extraterrestrial Intelligence.
