Miesto nášho veku v histórii civilizácie (Ch.S. Peirce a jeho filozofická diagnóza súčasnosti)
The Place of Our Age in the History of Civilisation (Ch.S. Peirce and His Philosophical Diagnosis of the Contemporary)

Summary/Abstract: The author takes up the question of the forms of the development of our civilisation. He analyses Peirce‘s philosophic debut from 1863 – „The Place of Our Age in the History of Civilisation“. Here he argued for the need of scientific orientation toward philosophy that would overcome the deficiencies of idealism on the one hand and materialism on the other. Acording to Peirce, materialism and idealism both err but opposite ways. Materialism fails on the side of incompleteness, idealism always presents a systematic totality, but it must always have some vagueness and thus lead to error. But if materialism without idealism is blind, idealism without materialism is void.
