Summary/Abstract: Czech translation of Günter Figal’s lecture Theorie und Praxis: Über die Möglichkeit ihrer klassischen Verhältnisbestimmung. The abstract from the opened PDF file is as follows: The article discusses the relationship between philosophy and science, particularly in the context of classical determinations. It explores the shift from philosophy as a theory to philosophy as science, highlighting the challenges this poses for defining philosophy itself. The text delves into the ambivalent relationship between everyday life and philosophical theory, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a distance from daily life to engage in theoretical philosophy. It also examines the historical and linguistic limitations of philosophical interpretations, suggesting that philosophy must remain an interpretative act that transcends everyday life to remain relevant. The article concludes by considering the role of philosophy in articulating a comprehensive understanding of the world, while acknowledging its inherent limitations and the need for a new orientation.
