Философската книжнина на български език, издадена в България през „дългия ХХ век” (Библиография 1878-2013)

Author(s): Dobrin Todorov / Language(s): Bulgarian

Philosophical culture, like any other, has its own intellectual nucleus and a series of material expressions. What is fundamental about this culture is, indisputably, its ideas. To reach the professionals and the general public, these ideas need to find their physical bearer. Their main embodiment is the written work. The respective philosophical culture finds its key representative in the face of specialised written works. Thus, if one is to get to the bottom of a particular philosophical culture, one should necessarily get acquainted with the relevant literature in its glaring examples. In the case of a national philosophical culture, special literature has two manifestations: the original works of the native authors written in the respective native language, and the corpus of translated writings. This book is about the philosophical literature published in Bulgaria after the Liberation of 1878. Its aim is to facilitate the process of rationalising over what has been achieved in the area of philosophy in this country in the past 135 years by offering a review of the specialised printed matter. This publication is thefirst attempt to produce an overall survey of the more significant results of the philosophical quest that has been expressed in individual books. Not only are these books the result of the work of professionals in the national philosophical culture, but they have had considerable impact on it, as well as on the shaping of the public aspect of philosophy among the general readingaudience. The book contains over 4,100 titles (see the Appendix with the information about the philosophical literature published in Bulgarian) but makes no claim to be comprehensive with respect to the whole philosophical literature published in Bulgariaduring “the long 20th century” which included also the late 19th century and the very early 21st century.

Balkáni történetek

Author(s): Zádor Tordai / Language(s): Hungarian

States do have their own order, as cities have their own order as well. And all of them have backyards. You put everything in the backyard –according to the common sense, untidy and immoral -what does not fit into the general order, and in particular everything that does not want to fit in that order. In Europe, almost all countries have such backyards. It is true, that they are isolated from each other. But Europe as a whole has also its own backyard, which you can put under the category “the Balkans”.

Filozofia dziejów filozofii. Silne i słabe modele

Author(s): Vladimír Leško / Language(s): Polish

This work has resulted from a long‑term thinking, about the relation betweenthe history of philosophy and its reflection in more or less systematic and asystematic forms of philosophizing within the most significant philosophical doctrines of the 19th and the 20th centuries. It should be noted that the main theoretical (and other) impulses for the examination of the problems in question primarily came from M. Sobotka’s works. His analysis of modern philosophy, the classical German philosophy, and Hegel’s historical‑philosophical concept in particular, has been the theoretical point of departure. In addition, this book presents research results achieved within the projects Philosophy of the History of Philosophy – basic models and results, VEGA, A, 1/4441/97 and Philosophy of the History of Philosophy – weak models, VEGA, A, 1/9238/02. The theoretical efforts of the research team enabled us to arrive at in‑depth and specific understanding of the individual models of the philosophical reception of the history of philosophy. By implication, I wish to appreciate the theoretical contribution of the other members of the research team, notably Ľ. Belás, S. Hubík, O. Sisáková, P. Tholt a M. Ješič. The main goal of this work is to philosophically introduce the most significant historical‑philosophical concepts of the 19th an the 20th centuries that established the necessary conditions for the strong and weak models ofphilosophy of the history of philosophy in the concepts of Hegel, Schelling, Marx, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Fink, Patočka and Gadamer. Some achievements of the philosophy of the history of philosophy are presented as metatheoretical motion within the historical‑philosophical thought, the purpose of which is both the empirical description of the historical‑philosophical process and understanding and accounting for it as an integral part of the most significant philosophical problems.I. Strong modelsThe history of philosophy has been an important philosophical issue ever since the origins of the philosophy of the history of philosophy. It was founded by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, a prominent representative of German classical philosophy, in his legendary lectures on the history of philosophy. Hegel’s theoretical model of the relation between the history of philosophy and system‑centered philosophy contains certain characteristic features whichcan be used to identify various models of the philosophy of the history of philosophy. The fundamental distinctive feature for any philosophical conception of the history of philosophy is the principle of the unity of philosophy and the history of philosophy. Hegel emphasizes that the history of philosophy is an indispensable inherent component of any theoretical considerations. This idea has become an indisputable foundation accepted and developed‑critically and with various modifications though – by other great philosophers, including Schelling, Marx, Nietzsche, Husserl, and Heidegger. Hegel’s conception of the history of philosophy as the first strong model of the philosophy of the history of philosophy postulates that it itself is a philosophy; more particularly, that it forms a part of the philosophy of history, whose aim is to demonstrate that reason is also present in the history of philosophy. Therefore, if the history of philosophy is conceived of as the innermost in world history its role in current philosophical activities is crucial. Hegel’s philosophy of the history of philosophy as philosophizing about philosophy became a meta‑theoretical motion within historical‑philosophical thought whose purpose was not to describe the istorical‑philosophical process in an external‑empirical way; rather, it was aimed at comprehending and explaining this process as an integral part of the treatment of the most important philosophical problems. Hegel takes a speculative unity of the abstract and the concrete as his point of departure. Schelling concentrates on the relation between essence and existence. The young Marx focuses his historical‑philosophical effort on the conception of self‑consciousness and freedom. Nietzsche seeks true culture through a Greek cultural phenomenon (tragedy) and stresses that our spiritual traditions – Platonism, metaphysics, morality and Christianity – are the main obstacles to a true understanding of the world and man. For this reason, he prefers the Pre‑Socratic philosophy in which he finds the justification for philosophizing in general. Husserl is attracted by the transcendental impulse in the history of philosophy, and Heidegger critically discusses the Nietzschean motive of re‑consideringthe Pre‑Socratic message in order to radicalize the most complex philosophical question, i.e., what is philosophy (metaphysics)?II. Weak modelsPhilosophical research into strong models of the philosophy of the history of philosophy indicates in a compelling way that both Hegel’s and Heidegger’s models have been the dominant doctrines determining the basic method of establishing a philosophical link to the history of philosophy. In a sense, they represent extreme opposing philosophical approaches to the historical‑philosophical heritage and to the current forms of philosophizing. Hegel’sphilosophical conception of history is built on the principle of development – progress from the ancient times to the present. In general, his philosophy is conceived of as the culmination of the whole historical evolution. Heidegger takes the opposite position. Thought, itself of historical nature and determining world history, does not grow from the present. It is older than what is simply the past. It has been borne towards us in its most ancient ideas, butwe are unable to discover any trace of it because we believe reality to be what mainly pertains to us in our being. Consequently, Heidegger insists on our return to the period of the Pre‑Socratic philosophy of Parmenides and Heraclitus when asking the original philosophical question about being because it was they who preserved the harmony with logos. The subsequent development of the philosophical conception of the history of philosophy is connected with the names of the most significant followers of Husserl’s and Heidegger’s philosophies, including Eugen Fink, Jan Patočka and Hans‑Georg Gadamer. Gadamer put it clearly when he said that Fink, Patočka and he himself all tried to avoid repeating the ideas oftheir teachers. Instead they sought out ways of developing these ideas further.An important point of departure for each of these critical followers of Husserl and Heidegger became the issue of the philosophy of the history of philosophy in the form of weak models. The struggle for a new approach to philosophy was inconceivable without a new original conception of the historical‑philosophical heritage. In addition, it was time to bring to an endthe era of strong models of the philosophy of the history of philosophy, and to start developing weak models. From this point of view, the philosophical message of Fink, Patočka and Gadamer is unique historical‑philosophical material; it is the most valuable of what is offered to us by the philosophical investigation of the second half of the twentieth century.

Leksykon idei wędrownych na słowiańskich Bałkanach, XVIII-XXI wiek

Tom 1. Oświecenie, religia, racjonalizm

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

The first volume of the extensive (ten-volume) monograph by Polish Slavic studies scholars (with contributions from scholars from a number of foreign research centres), made possible by an NCN OPUS grant (2014/13/B/HS2/01057). In terms of form, the monograph is a lexicon, the main body of which consists of entries-articles on the history of 27 selected ideas that anticipated and shaped the processes of modernization in the region: agrarianism , anarchism, evolution, humanism, history, capitalism, clericalization , confessions, conservatism, education, culture, liberalism, nation, modernity, homeland, schooling, enlightenment, politics, progress, rationalism, reformation, religion, revolution, secularization , socialism, tradition, and universalism. Their semantics, changeable as it was in response to local conditions, was investigated separately for each of the seven current states of the southern Slavdom: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia. Volume 1 presents the three ideas - enlightenment, religion and rationalism - that are at the foundations of the European discourses of modernization and anti-modernization. The book contains many synthetically expressed original and source-based insights of the scholars on the southern Slavic cultures’ struggles with modernity.

Etika

Author(s): Asim Mujkić,Jasminka Babić-Avdispahić / Language(s): Bosnian

Nakana nam je u Etici na pristupačan način predstaviti probleme i pravce etike, te ukazati na neke aspekte primijenjene etike i bioetike. Nadamo se da će knjiga biti od interesa za širu čitalačku javnost, jer se se tičkim pitanjima susreću svakodnevno svi u svojim privatnim i profesionalnim životima. Pored sfere međuljudskih odnosa između prijatelja, u porodici ili naradnom mjestu, ni sferu političkog ne možemo zamisliti bez sporova koji se vode u moralnim kategorijama. Spor o društvenoj pravdi je moralni spor, a ljudska prava i demokracija imaju i moralnu vrijednost. Moralni sporovi su i pitanja prava manjinskih grupa, zakona o useljavanju i azilu. Moralni sporovi se tiču i našeg odnosa prema životinjama, budućim generacijama i prirodi, a razvoj genskih tehnologija na zaoštren način postavlja etički izazov samorazumijevanju ljudskogroda. I upravo nas je pomisao na širu čitalačku publiku navela da u knjizi posljednji dio svakog poglavlja posvetimo nekim pitanjima primijenjene etike i bioetike. Smatraćemo našim velikim uspjehom ako čitateljki i čitaocu tokom čitanja knjige pomognemo u ekspliciranjui činjenju koherentnijim intuicija koje već imaju.

Pismo o toleranciji

Author(s): John Locke,Raul Raunić / Language(s): Croatian

Moralna i politička vrednota tolerancije je središnja sastavnica liberalno demokratske političke kulture. Štoviše, stupanj zastupljenost tolerantnih praksi u javnome životu pouzdani je pokazatelj liberalne i demokratske zrelosti modernih pluralnih društava. Vrlina tolerancije ima različita teorijska utemeljenja i opravdanja. Značenja pojma tolerancije kreću se u širokom luku od pukog modus vivendi u održavanju zajedničkog životu, pa do raznovrsnih i složenih oblika priznanja vrijednosnih posebnosti društvenih skupina i pojedinaca. Jednako tako i tolerantne prakse, ovisno o različitim povijesnim i socijalnim konteksti¬ma te poljima djelovanja poprimaju različite oblike. Na toleranciju se danas pozivamo u privatnim, socijalnim i političkim odnosima.

Pojmy estetiky: analytický přístup

Author(s): Rostislav Niederle / Language(s): Czech

The text introduces concepts which are in a way related to the conception of Aesthetics as the theory of art criticism. Through argumentation, the text aims at the integration into the wide stream of analytic Aesthetics. The writing method has two aspects: an explication of historical facts on the one hand, an analysis of rather recent concepts on the other. Many structured considerations appear as the text moves along, and that is why the whole book is opened with a short explanation of the concept of argument.

Co je to čas?: Lekce z filozofie

Author(s): Josef Krob / Language(s): Czech

The second volume of the popular science edition “Munice” leads us into the labyrinth of a philosophical questioning about TIME. Led by the thoughts of a number of great philosophers, from Aristotle to Prigogin, we reach eventually the inevitable intersection: time is either the most important element in the universe, or it does not exist at all. The author of the book, Professor Josef Krob, works at the Department of Philosophy of the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, and he has a long-term interest in the issues of time, space and meaning. Once again, his text is interwoven with the distinctive illustrations of Nikola Kalinová.

Odwaga poetyki. Aktywizm, opór, psalmy

Author(s): Jarosław Płuciennik / Language(s): Polish

In the theoretical part, the publication deals with the place of humanities, cultural studies and literature theory in society; in the analytical part it shows social involvement and social reception of psalms treated as a prototype of the so-called engaged literature. In this book, I would like to show the reader that the idea of culture which I refer to is synonymous with the vision of committed, caring and emphatic nurture – these are very close categories of participation in life and its challenges. From the Introduction “There is no other study in Polish that would combine such disparate perspectives of the influence of the Reformation on the contemporary culture in its various aspects [...]. All deliberations have been set in a very broad historical, theological, philosophical, anthropological, literary and linguistic context. In a general sense, this is a well-thought-out interdisciplinary study focused on the cultural dimension of the Reformation." From the review by prof. dr hab. Sławomir Jacek Żurek (KUL)

Subsequent volumes will include texts prepared by the author for the books he was not able to publish selected and edited by Prof. Maurin’s fellow researchers and friends.

Die Krise Des Europäischen Geistes

Author(s): Paul Hazard / Language(s): German

Paul Hazard's intellectual history offers an unforgettable account of the birth of the modern European mind in all its dynamic, inquiring, and uncertain glory. Beginning his story in the latter half of the seventeenth century, while also looking back to the Renaissance and forward to the future, Hazard traces the process by which new developments in the sciences, arts, philosophy, and philology came to undermine the stable foundations of the classical world, with its commitment to tradition, stability, proportion, and settled usage. Hazard discerned at the end of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth centuries a crisis within the European mind, a moment of profound uncertainty, une zone uncertaine, malaisée. Out of that crisis emerged a new understanding of people and nature, of government, of religion in society which, as he saw it, prepared the way for the French Revolution. At that moment emerged a mentalité discernibly enlightened and modern, one with which Hazard and his generation of liberal French intellectuals could still identify.

Państwo tańczące

Mitologiczne Źródła Platona nauki o tańcu

Author(s): Juliusz Grzybowski / Language(s): Polish

Dance is often neglected in studies on Plato, just as it is neglected in other situations, as an inferior art, to seme extent in keeping with the quasi-Platonic paradigm of the superiority of the soul over the body. Quasi-platonic, because in dance the body is endowed with a soul, and it even seems that it is in dance that we should look for the moment when the soul is most clearly present in the body. This is probably the reason why Plato eagerly turns to dance metaphors when he seeks the most appropriate way of talking about the soul. This is the case, for example, in the Phaedrus. Funnily enough, recently the discourse on dance has very often adopted an anti-Platonic formula, as if overcoming Platonism were an indispensable condition for a proper understanding of dance. Of course, there is a difference between Platonism and Plato, perhaps even an immeasurable one, but this anti-Platonic battle, which would like to present itself as an action or reaction that valorises the body, regardless of the nobleness of its intentions and perhaps of the benefit it brings with it, is something inelegant and quite possibly something that is simply unfair both to Plato and to dance. It is the case, rather, that the author of the book wishes to prove that Plato has much to say about dance. To my knowledge, nobody thought about dance as seriously as Plato, as evidenced by the omnipresence of dance in Plato's Laws dialogue. Plato initially classifies dance according to three criteria, and so we have wild and civilised dances, serious and frivolous dances, and war and peace dances. This somewhat technical outline of classification obviously raises a number of doubts and, let us add without further ado, doubts on the part of Plato himself. But this technical outline of the classification is also an interpretation of the state, and at the same time of what is human but nonetheless alien to the state. That which is alien still remains in relation to the state, even when it is a relation of an exile (wild dances) or of a disenfranchised citizen (frivolous dances).

Философски акценти

Author(s): Tatyana Batuleva,Yvanka Raynova,Bianca Boteva-Richter,Anani Stoynev,Nina Dimitrova,Dimitar Tsatsov,Gabriela Kasarova,Plamen Damyanov,Kamelia Zhabilova,Galina Dekova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,German

The aim of the volume "Bulgarian Voices Abroad. Philosophical Accents" is to present the main ideas and achievements of authors of Bulgarian origin - philosophers, intellectuals and cultural figures, who worked mainly abroad, such as Dr. Petar Beron, Radoslav Tsanov, Yanko Yanev, Georgi Gachev, Assen Ignatov, Tsvetan Todorov, Julia Kristeva and others. This "outward looking" view also allows us a reverse perspective: turning the look to ourselves becomes an occasion to see ourselves through the eyes of the other, to rethink the specifics of the foreign and the own/native. The point of view of one who is sufficiently "other", distanced from events and paradigms, can give us an unbiased assessment of them. At the same time, he is sufficiently near to "us" for his analyzes to be relevant to "our" reality as well.

Filozofové ve městě

Author(s): Radim Brázda / Language(s): Czech

The book Philosophers in the City was created on the occasion of the centenary of the founding of the Philosophical Seminar of the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University in Brno. It is dedicated to the reminder of the first nine philosophers, who gradually held the position of head of the philosophical seminary, the later department of philosophy. Their life, work and work at the head of the department are reminiscent of excerpts from their professional and popular texts, from materials stored in the Archives of Masaryk University. Selected texts provide insight into official and personal correspondence, diary entries, memories of their contemporaries and other documents related to their work and life. The texts and archives are connected and paralleled with general philosophical themes and European philosophers of the time as well as contemporary philosophers.

Anonimowość jako granica poznania w fenomenologii Edmunda Husserla

Author(s): Piotr Łaciak / Language(s): Polish

Rozprawa prezentuje filozofię Edmunda Husserla w świetle trzech tez, które zostały tak wyrażone, aby zaakcentować centralne miejsce problematyki anonimowości w fenomenologii transcendentalnej. Pierwszą tezę można sformułować następująco: człowiek jest Ja transcendentalnym, ale w naturalnym nastawieniu transcendentalny charakter subiektywności pozostaje anonimowy, to znaczy niepoddany refleksji, zakryty. Druga teza wyraża myśl, że anonimowość tę można przezwyciężyć, przeprowadzając redukcję fenomenologiczną. Trzecia teza głosi, że odsłonięta dzięki redukcji fenomenologicznej świadomość transcendentalna nie jest czymś ostatecznym, lecz sama konstytuuje się w absolutnej subiektywności, a absolutna subiektywność nie poddaje się refleksji i pozostaje również anonimowa, przy czym anonimowość absolutnej subiektywności nigdy nie może być przezwyciężona. Zaprezentowanie fenomenologii z punktu widzenia problematyki anonimowości daje rezultaty w postaci następujących rozstrzygnięć. Po pierwsze, kryzys jest rozumiany jako trwanie życia transcendentalnego w anonimowości. Po drugie, redukcja fenomenologiczna oznacza odsłonięcie tezy naturalnego nastawienia jako przeżycia konstytuującego byt świata. Po trzecie, świadomość refleksyjnie zobiektywizowana nie jest absolutną subiektywnością, jako że absolutna subiektywność stanowi świadomość anonimowo funkcjonującą. Po czwarte, anonimowość absolutnej subiektywności nie pozostaje w sprzeczności z fenomenologiczną zasadą wszelkich zasad, ponieważ apodyktyczna oczywistość „Ja jestem” okazuje się anonimową oczywistością. Rozprawa stanowi pierwszą w literaturze przedmiotu monografię poświęconą problematyce anonimowości w Husserlowskiej filozofii i jest adresowana nie tylko do filozofów specjalizujących się w zakresie fenomenologii, lecz także do tych czytelników, którym nie jest obca problematyka granic poznania, wewnętrznej struktury podmiotowości, źródeł kryzysu europejskiego człowieczeństwa i możliwości jego przezwyciężenia.

Iść i zarazem dojść. Cztery eseje z krytyki polityki terapeutycznej

Author(s): Ivan Dimitrijević / Language(s): Polish

Modern political semantics is based, among others, on re-semantics of Aristotelian kinesis. All “-isms”, all parties, all ideologies are, following Koselleck, the notions of movement: they assume the mobilization of citizens towards goals that can be achieved in time, which results in the constant dialectics between stagnation and social mobility. How does kinetic politics influence a democratic system? How does the widespread activation of bodies and minds affect the mental state of individuals? Is there, following Lasch, a relation between mobility and narcissism? Has politics become a form of disease therapy? Is politics not one of the sources of disease? Or, perhaps, politics is about a certain praxis and not a movement?

Hermeneutyka mitu dionizyjskiego w filozofii Fryderyka Nietzschego

Author(s): Malwina Rolka / Language(s): Polish

The book is dedicated to the Dionysian sides of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy,at the same time attempting to examine his work through the prismof an explication grounded in the myth. Dionysus appears here both as a signof the past, through which by deciphering the universal character of mythicalsymbols one should seek ancient wisdom about the human nature, as well asa sign of the future, about to manifest itself in the figure of the Übermensch. InNietzsche’s work, this deity is sometimes perverse, wears masks, and tempts;his myth is also coupled with the deepest worries and desires of man, designatingthe horizon of his existence and eternal yearnings. The dualistic natureof the deity — reflecting life’s dynamic character — appears in the writingsof Zarathustra’s author in a perpetual game of covering and uncovering sensesand meanings, which establish its special place in the explication of his ideas.Following the myth’s paths within Nietzsche’s philosophy necessarily leads toprogressing in two parallel areas, which nominate the framework of his Dionysianhermeneutics. Its external dimension is based on accepting Dionysityas a rule organizing the explication of Nietzsche’s work; his ideas — in bothearly and final writings - concentrate around it, despite its accompanying contradictionsand ruptures. However, hermeneutics of the myth also reveals aninternal dimension within the layer of Dionysian symbolism; for Nietzsche, itbecomes the source of inspiration and intuition, which cannot be expressedin the traditional language of philosophy, ultimately fulfilled in the fusion ofGreeks’ tragic worldview and modernity. The main intention of the book is anattempt to approach Nietzsche’s Dionysian philosophy at the intersection ofboth hermeneutical dimensions in order to highlight its dynamic and prospectivecharacter.
