Przełom w dziejach polskiej filozofii. Koncepcja filozofii metafizycznej Mieczysława A. Krąpca OP
The turning-point in the history of Polish philosophy. Mieczyslaw A. Krapiec’s conception of metaphysical philosophy

Summary/Abstract: The conception of metaphysical philosophy formulated by M. A. Krąpiec has been a crucial point in the history of Polish philosophy. The program of this metaphysical philosophy consists, among others, of following elements: (1) the objective way of practicing philosophy, which therefore ought to be practiced in the way of either general metaphysics or particular metaphysics; (2) historism, which protects philosophizing from repeating old errors and guarantees the development of philosophical cognition; (3) the consciousness of the methodological autonomy, which results in elaborating autonomous, methodological and logical instruments both for general metaphysics and particular ones; (4) the usage of the integral language that covers its semantic, syntactic and pragmatic aspects, and determines the specificity of metaphysical cognition; (5) while demonstrating the obviousness of metaphysical statements, the usage of the method that objectively explains (makes non-contradictive) given facts, events or processes by indicating such real factors which being rejected results in the negation of the very fact, event or process. Such the explanation strives for revealing the basis for delivering human cognition from any absurdity and a priori thinking by (a) indicating objective reasons (causes) of the existence of given facts, (b) supplying with philosophical instruments the realistic interpretation of the world and man, and (c) revealing bases of human rational cognition and activity.
