Surviving Hiroshima: An Hermeneutical Phenomenology of Barefoot Gen by Keiji Nakazawa

Author(s): Noelle Leslie Cruz / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2016

In this paper, the author presents a philosophical analysis of the famous manga series, Barefoot Gen (Hadashi no Gen) by Keiji Nakazawa, which is the author’s quasi‑fictional memoir of his childhood as an atom bomb survivor in Hiroshima, Japan. Against the backdrop of larger issues of war and peace, Gen’s family struggles with his father’s ideological rebellion against the nation’s militaristic rule, leading to the family’s persecution. The story then chronicles the cataclysmic effects of the bomb, and the fates of Gen and other survivors as they live through the aftermath of the detonation and the hardships of the American occupation. The author's framework for critique follows Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutical phenomenology, which applies the descriptive method of phenomenology to cultural texts.

Is the Hermeneutic Interpretation of Art Erotic? A Reader of Gadamer Responds to Sontag’s Challenge

Author(s): Dominika Czakon / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2016

The object of the article is to assess whether the concepts of erotica and the erotic can be identified with the hermeneutic interpretation of art as understood by Hans Georg Gadamer. The starting point of the discussion is Susan Sontag’s essay ‘Against interpretation’, in which the concept of the erotic interpretation of art is outlined and which culminates with the author setting up a deliberate opposition between the erotics of art and hermeneutics. The present article is an attempt to present the issue of the eroticism of hermeneutic interpretation on the basis of Sontag’s essay, and thus a response to the provocation contained in this essay. In the final part of the text, another possible approach to the issue of the postulated eroticism of hermeneutics is presented. The first part of the present article is devoted to explaining what Sontag means when she writes about the erotics of art and hermeneutics. The next part will demonstrate the connections and similarities between the concept of erotic art presented by Sontag and Gadamer’s concept of the hermeneutic interpretation of art. In the third part of the article I present Gadamer’s proposition and answer the question of whether the hermeneutic interpretation of art can be erotic. The final part of the article is devoted to invoking additional arguments for linking erotics and hermeneutics, followed by a summary

L’art comme présentation chez Gadamer. Portée et limites d’un concept

Author(s): Jean Grondin / Language(s): French Issue: 4/2016

The notion of presentation (Darstellung) is a key concept of Truth and Method and of Gadamer’s hermeneutics as a whole. It has however many levels of meaning that this article seeks to sort out: presentation as 1) performance, 2) interpretation, 3) revelatory epiphany and 4) participation (festival). The aim of this article is to show how this strong conception of presentation makes it possible to understand the unity of Truth and Method and to grasp the non relativistic intent of its important theses on interpretation and language: in both cases, interpretation (or the linguistic expression) must be understood as the unfolding of meaning that stems from the work or the thing itself.

O formule Radbrucha

Author(s): Jan Woleński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 61-62/2015

The aim of this article is to analyse Radbruch’s formula (lex iniustissima non est lex) with regard to the notions it contains and to indicate that it expresses a basic problem of philosophy of law linked to the discussion between legal positivism and the doctrines of natural law. That analysis underpins the proposal for a possible rational compromise between the two standpoints. The main problem in the dispute between the rival doctrines amounts to the adoption of some material criterion for defining gross injustice, whilst the background to the dispute is the functioning of the principle which states that law is not retroactive.

Critical Remarks on Alf Ross’s Probabilistic Concept of Validity

Author(s): Katarzyna Eliasz,Wojciech Załuski / Language(s): English Issue: 61-62/2015

The concept of legal validity is regarded within the dominant legal-positivistic account of law as a non-gradable concept: a legal rule is either valid or non-valid. However, this account of validity is criticised by some scholars for being too strict and rigid. An attractive alternative would appear to be offered by Alf Ross’s account of validity as a probabilistic concept. Ross assumed that the stronger the predictions of judicial behaviour that a given rule generates, the higher the probability that can be assigned to its validity. However, this account of legal validity is by no means uncontroversial. In this paper, four objections against it are formulated: apparent gradability, problematic ascertainability, the normative insignificance of probabilistic information and the neglecting of the normativity of legal rules. These objections are treated in this paper as strong grounds for rejecting Ross’s claim that predictions of judicial behaviour formulated on the basis of rules are conceptually linked to their validity (i.e. they define their meaning); it is argued in the paper that they are merely a way of testing empirical hypotheses concerning the application (effectiveness) of legal rules.

Heidegger wobec kartezjańskiej koncepcji nauki nowożytnej

Author(s): Eugen Andreansky,Milovan Jesic / Language(s): Polish Issue: XXIII/2011

Heidegger’s analysis of modern science and especially Descartes’ philosophy drawn in 1930s represents a significant shift contrary to the theoretical research in his work called Being and Time. While the main problem in the most significant Heidegger’s work is the analysis of res extensa in Descartes’ philosophy, later in Modern Mathematical Natural Science and in Age of the World Picture the main problem turns to be a picture of Descartes as a methodologist. By this theoretical research Heidegger tends to lead us to the knowledge that only by deep immersion into the problems of The principle of Reason we can gain the knowledge or the intuition of what happens in modern science. Here we also can reach the turning-point of the history of human thinking – the unity of modern science and modern philosophy. Heidegger’s analysis of the famous Descartes’ quote cogito ergo sum leads to the conclusion that sum is not a result of thinking but vice versa it is a fundament, fundamentum. According to him this sentence includes the fact that it is I who put. I am the one who puts and thinks. This sentense is special because what it talks about – subiectum – is the one who puts. According to Heidegger the utterance expresses not only the fact that I, the one who puts, am but also that my putting decides about the reality of everyone putting, which means of his/her Being as being.

Актуальные аспекты изучения проблемы «библия и русская литература»

Author(s): Semen Abramovich / Language(s): Russian Issue: 4/2011

The article analyzes the problem of studies of Russian literature in the context of post-Renaissance processes in world, especially in Europe. The Enlightenment program was aimed at undermining the earlier culture and the construction of a new type of culture, in which the centre of attention was the experience of individuals not corrupted by civilization and Christian morality. The apogee of this cult of the creative «I» lies in the romanticism of his titanic «rebellion» against God. But Russian literature, as well as other Eastern Slavic literature, is based on the Christian books, which were its original sources. The secularization of culture after Peter I was aimed to destroy this base. However it was preserved and eventually evolved into the idea of communist totalitarianism. Therefore, the realization of the Enlightenment project – the creation of popular culture in Russia was particularly devastating. Russian classic output stems from the Christian tradition. It should be recognized that the artistic word cannot properly «educate», which is the function of didactic or sacred books.

Z powrotem do Arystotelesowskiej teorii znaczenia

Author(s): Tomasz Tiuryn / Language(s): Polish Issue: XXII/2016

This paper presents a new reading of Aristotle's theory of meaning. Its starting point is a claim made in a seminal paper by T. Irwin that Aristotle's notion of signification (semainein) is not the same as the modern concept of meaning. This claim has been challenged by some modern scholars (D. Charles, C. Shields), however, no conclusive arguments against it have been shown. The paper argues against Irwin's claim by pointing to two features of Aristotle's theory: first, it shows that what is signified by words in Aristotle's theory are "things" (pragmata) and that one particular sort of pragmata are universals; second, it shows that Aristotle's interest in signification is rooted in his interest in the actual linguistic practice of the average speaker of language.
