Między Oświeceniem a scholastyką. Wybrane problemy recepcji filozofii Kanta w polskiej filozofii na początku XIX wieku i perspektywy nowych badań

Author(s): Tomasz Kupś / Language(s): Polish Issue: 15/2015

The aim of this article is to outline general characteristics of the conditions of the first reception (in the early decades of the 19th century) of the philosophy of Kant in Poland. Its direction and nature as well as suspension or end often depended on nonsubstantive (i.e. institutional, social, and political) factors. Under these conditions, positions on the philosophy of Kant became easily polarized between the ones based on groundless prejudices on the one hand and uncritical enthusiasm on the other. First (1) I characterize briefly the reasons why the 19th-century Polish reception of the philosophy of Kant can be regarded as a tension between „enlightenment” and „scholasticism”(although those terms do not necessarily have to mean here what historians of philosophy refer to with their help). Then, (2) I provide a brief presentation of the specificity of the first reception of the philosophy of Kant and the representatives of the main opposing positions (Szaniawski, Wigura, Śniadecki). Finally (3) I outline some possible directions for further research into the first stage of the reception of the philosophy of Kant in Poland and present examples of new discoveries.

Anty-Engelsowski marksizm Stanisława Brzozowskiego jako filozofi a polityczności avant la lettre

Author(s): Wiktor Marzec / Language(s): Polish Issue: 29/2012

The article attempts at reinterpreting thought of Stanisław Brzozowski as early philosophy of the political, as seen in post-structuralist political thought. The Polish thinker has faced the particular political situation of the Polish Kingdom in the early 20th century and dealt conceptually with impossibility of unproblematic political representation. Therefore, along with his heterodoxical, anti-ontological and praxistic Marxism, he also undertook the issue of construction of political subjectivities and engaged with groundless thinking not referring to any ultimate, stable ratio of class or nation. To put a long story short, he wrestled, and partially successfully ‘thought through’ the “moments of the political”, i.e. the radical contingency of the social fi eld.

Rzecz myśląca maszerująca. Przyczynek do krytyki teorii ideologii tout court

Author(s): Michał Sokolski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 29/2012

This paper is meant to be a brief account on Louis Althusser’s theory of ideology formulated in Ideology and ideological state apparatuses and on its epistemic conditions of possibility. As such, it can also be seen as a sort of its critique in a Kantian sense. The author traces functional and structural analogies between Althusserian notion of “subject of interpellation” and Cartesian concept of subjectivity. In conclusion, Althusser’s theory of ideology is shown to be strictly a post-Cartesian one. As such, it is perhaps not well suited to analyze non- or pre-Cartesian societies. But more importantly, we may ask: is it possible to think of some radically different, post-Cartesian, and thus post-capitalistic future while still using Cartesian categories?

Lietuvos Filosofijos Istoriografijos Bruožai

Author(s): Gintaras Kabelka / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 61/2009

The article analyzes the quantitative, historical, theoretical and methodological features of the Lithuanian historiography of philosophy. A comprehensive methodological analysis of the Lithuanian historiography of philosophy does not exist. The level of methodological reflection on the Lithuanian historiography of philosophy is insufficient; as a rule, its methodological explications are too general, irresponsibly formulated, and insufficiently informed about methodological structure of inquiry. In this field, four strategies of historical interpretation of philosophy function: contextualistic, mechanicistic, organicistic, and formistic. They encompass all the major methodologies used in the world.

Setna rocznica urodzin Karola Estreichera w polskich publikacjach z lat 1927-1928

Author(s): Agnieszka Gołda / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

The article presents the outline of the 100th birth anniversary celebrations of Karol Estreicher in the year 1927. Scientific and popular texts by Polish bibliologists, publicists and journalists published in the journals in the years 1927-1928 were analyzed. Particular attention was drawn to rare book publications by Jan Muszkowski and Ksawery Świerkowski, who were the researchers of bibliographer’s legacy. The vast majority of texts aimed to popu-larize the figure of K. Estreicher, scientific papers revealing facts about bibliographer’s life and his achievements were published occasionally

Spory wokół spuścizny Platońskiej Władysława Witwickiego (1878—1948)

Author(s): Tomasz Mróz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 38/2017

The paper discusses shortly the reception of W. Witwicki’s translations and commentaries to Plato’s dialogues. The emphasis is laid on the initial absence of philosophers among the reviewers of Witwicki’s works, for the overwhelming majority of the reviewers consisted of philologists and writers. In the course of time, when translations by other scholars appeared, Witwicki’s works gained wider reception among professionals and many critical assessments, which were sometimes unjust. His translations, nevertheless, still play a protreptic role as the first.

Benedykta Bornsteina recepcja filozofii Immanuela Kanta

Author(s): Krzysztof Śleziński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 38/2017

Benedykt Bornstein belongs to a group of philosophers, who demonstrated an opportunity for development of the scientific metaphysics with the use of the axiomatic method. His general theory of existence was developed under the influence of critical discussion on the major problems related to Kant’s theory of cognition. Arguments presented in this article are to be an attempt to recognise all the assumptions and conditions which our philosopher investigated. It is stressed that in the context of native philosophy Bornstein is neo-kantian as well as a representative of Polish analytical philosophy. However, his epistemological and ontological analyses have not met the proper reception by the environment of Lvov-Warsaw School. Although, he has remained Kazimierz Twardowski’s student in terms of character of his methodological research, strive for terminological precision and the use of formal language in his arguments.

Problem povijesnog Sokrata

Author(s): Damir Marić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 1/2014

Considering the fact that Socrates did not write, everything we can learn about his life and philosophy comes from other sources. If it is possible to establish who was the historical Socrates, then the only way is to try to evaluate and compare existing testimonies. There are four main sources: Aristophanes, Plato, Xenophon and Aristotle. Solving “Socrates problem“, or responding on question who he was and what was his philosophy about, can't be done once and for all, but it might be possible to offer a solution which is more convincing than others. The problem would not exist if the four main sources would match in the description of Socrates. It can be justifiably claimed that the problem of the historical Socrates is for the first time clearly formulated in the works of authors in the 18th century. Among the experts, opinions are divided about Vlasto's description of the historical Socrates, but they all agree that this opinion is simply unavoidable because of the great importance of studying Socrates philosophy.

О ПОЧЕТКУ СРПСКЕ ФИЛОЗОФИЈЕ

Author(s): Mirko Aćimović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 136/2011

In this paper, the beginning of the Serbian philosophy in the Byzantine era of its history is considered through the ontological and logical concepts of искон, бити and слово, which are set by translating the beginning of the Gospel according to John Ἐν ἀρχῆ ἦν ὁ λόγος as Искони бѣашє Слово, then through translation of selected manuscripts from the Изборника Великаго кньазя Святослава Ярославича 1073 года, and, in particular, through the translation of the first part of John Damascus’ writing Πηγὴ γνώσεως, Φιλοςοφικὰ κεφαλαῖα (Посланиє Святаго Јована Дамаскина).

The idea in John Duns Scotus’ turn-about Between Plato and Descartes

Author(s): Francesco Fiorentino / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

The theoretical distance between the Cartesian concept, on the one hand, and the Platonic concept and Medieval tradition, on the other, would be incomprehensible unless one were to take into account the fundamental link, that lies in the thought of John Duns Scotus. The scope of this contribution is to illustrate the theoretical bearing of the turnabout in theology operated by Scotus as regards the concept of ideas. In fact, for Scotus, as we shall see, the concept of the idea is profoundly transformed, loses its exemplary value and takes on a new semblance that is nearer to the Cartesian concept, all this starting from a theological framework.

Kriticizam kao borba između moralnosti i sveta

Author(s): Nevena Jevtić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 27/2017

Author of this paper investigates the meaning of Schelling’s understanding of criticism, according to his earlier text Philosophical Letters on Dogmatism and Criticism. As a philosophical system that presupposes opposition of freedom and nature, criticism is presented as a struggle between subject and the world. Its opposed system, dogmatism, represents a philosophical system that results in certain passivation of subject. High intellectual appeal of criticism will be shown firstly by an inquiry into the tasks and principles of these opposed systems. Furthermore, investigation will deal with the reasons why Schelling gives the system of criticism positive evaluation, which can only be understood correctly in view of the epochal meaning of Kant’s critical philosophical project. Finally, Schelling’s interpretation is linked to Hegel’s understanding of subjective principle of Kant’s and Fichte’s philosophy. Based on it, it is possible to posit this thesis regarding criticism as a struggle between consciousness and the world more profoundly: as a standpoint of subject’s moral worldview

Mysteries of Mind and Matter in the Perspective of Colin McGinn’s Philosophy

Author(s): Dmytro Sepetyi / Language(s): English Issue: 16/2016

The paper discusses the approach to the mind-body problem that was developed by Colin McGinn and is known as “mysterianism”. The basic thesis of this approach, which McGinn opposes to both materialism and dualism, is that consciousness and its relationship to physical reality is an inscrutable mystery that cannot get over in principle, because of insurmountable, constitutive limitations of human mind. In this paper, the critical analysis of McGinn’s approach is given. It is pointed out that McGinn’s thesis of the inscrutability of the mind-body relationship is based on the ungrounded idea that a mediating substance is necessary. An argument is made that the mind-body relationship is better understood as an interaction that is mediated only by natural psychophysical laws. McGinn’s hypothesis of the origin of physical space in a non-spatial reality that has the same nature as consciousness is explained in the context of different interpretations of the Big Bang theory. It is argued that McGinn’s hypothesis does not provide a solution to the problem of the origin of human consciousness because consciousness belongs to mental individuals whose emergence is just as unexplainable by the hypothesis of non-spatial reality as it is by physical processes.

Gândire dogmatică şi gândire funcţională la Lucian Blaga

Author(s): Claudiu Baciu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 13/2017

The paper argues that a functional moment is involved in the way how Lucian Blaga understands the religious dogma. It is shown that this moment exists also in some of the recent results of the scientific research, such as the acknowledgment of the dual character of light or of the so-called quantum entanglement. This functional moment is explained through what Imm. Kant called function of understanding, which allows the theoretical possibility of using our categories beyond any relationship to sensibility and imagination.
