Етически съчинения

Author(s): Ivan Georgov / Language(s): Bulgarian

The book comprises two ethical lecture courses of the late prof. Ivan Georgov: "History of ethics" and "Ethics (Principles of Morals)" and three research studies on issues of moral philosophy – “Selfishness and selflessness as principles of moral life", "The problem of freedom of will" and "What is conscience?". They were published in the first third of the twentieth century but today practically unknown for both the specialists and the general public. The publication of these texts now gives a chance for more thorough understanding of the works of the "father" of professional university education in philosophy in Bulgaria. Beside their historical value these texts have a live value too as far as the observations and evaluations they reveal have not lost significance. The texts would be fascinating for everyone who is interested in the basic problems of ethical theory or history of ethical teachings and in the work of the first Bulgarian researcher of moral philosophy from the epoch after Liberation.

Философията като проблем в българската книжнина на ХХ век

Author(s): Ventzislav Kulov / Language(s): Bulgarian

The problem-categorical analysis approbated and established in Bulgaria with the support of the late Prof. Michael Buchvarov is used in this monograph that is dedicated to his memory. The first chapter outlines the problem for the essence of philosophy, which historical and philosophical dimensions are subject to this research. Here an important methodological decision of the author emerges - to divide the philosophy in Bulgaria before the Second World War into two types: academic and party, making the explicit reservation that the above made division is only for the needs of this research, but it could have more general application. The second chapter covers the period before the imposition of the communist regime in Bulgaria – the end of XIXth and the first half of XXth century, where the views of academic philosophers I. Georgov K. Krastev, D. Mihalchev S. Kazandjiev A. Iliev D. Penov are analyzed. The views of Mihalchev D. and C. Kazandjiev are specially outlined by the author who expresses the idea that their views of philosophy form a bipolar coordinate system, which allows person to orient generally in the great number of assumptions about philosophy, formed during the first half of the XXth century in Bulgaria.Only the ideas of T. Pavlov, from the representatives of the so called party philosophers, are reviewed in this chapter. The third chapter is about the views of Bulgarian philosophers on the matter what is philosophy during the period of socialism, which is divided by the author in two periods: early socialism – from the beginning of the communist rule in 1947 until the end of the 70’s - and late socialism - from the late 70’s until its collapse of socialism in 1989. During the early socialism the problem for the essence of philosophy is reduced to the problem for the subject of Marxist-Leninist philosophy, the only exception are the views of M . Buchvarov. The reinvention of the problem for the essence of philosophy becomes possible during the late socialism. From the studies of the authors representative for this period the book of L. Sivilov “Philosophy, Philosophers, Philosophizing”is the one brought to notice. The third chapter is devoted to the views of the essense of philosophy, published after the fall of socialism during the so called period of transition, till 2005. Due to the author because of their limited content and undetermined ideological platforms the studies conducted in this period could not be considered significant achievements of Bulgarian philosophical thought.

ZNAKI RÓWNOŚCI

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

Książka Kozłowskiego to rozprawa z zakresu filozofii społecznej. Jej głównym tematem jest równość, a raczej – jak sugeruje tytuł – jej znaki, tj. pojęcia i symbole, za pomocą których ludzie zwykli myśleć o równości i artykułować dążenia równościowe. Kozłowski prowadzi swoje wywody z wielką kulturą, unikając wszelkiej tendencyjności i doktrynerstwa. Oczywiście sam wybór problematyki równości, jak również sposób jej prezentacji, świadczą o prorównościowej orientacji Autora. Jednak zasadniczą jego intencją nie jest wykazywanie, że równość jest dobra, a nierówność zła, lecz wskazywanie na nieoczywistość roszczeń równościowych, dwuznaczność działań do równości zmierzających, skomplikowane, dialektyczne relacje między równością a nierównością w konkretnych okolicznościach historycznych.

Философски съчинения

Author(s): Ivan Gyuzelev / Language(s): Bulgarian

Philosophical works includes two monographs of Acad. Ivan Nedev Gyuzelev (1844-1916): "The world as a product of consciousness" and “The absolute consciousness". They were published in the early XXth century, nowadays practically unknown to both specialists and general public. The publication of these texts allows us to think through deeper the deed of the almost forgotten Bulgarian original thinker. These texts have historical value too as they present the views of the author of the "first whole philosophical system in Bulgarian" (D. Mihalchev). The texts will be interesting for everyone who is working on the problem of the genesis of modern philosophical culture in Bulgaria.

Practices of Coexistence. Constructions of the Other in Early Modern Perceptions

Author(s): / Language(s): English

The essays in this book provide stimulating contributions to the ongoing debate concerning the representation of differing cultures, i.e., the “image of the Other” in the early modern period. They deal with images, projections, and perceptions, based on various experiences of coexistence. Although the individual contributions contain sources and references of iconography, this is not just another volume of art history or visual studies. As examples of practices in diverse historical contexts, the book includes a variety of textual material, such as literary productions, rhetorical exercises, dramatic applications, chronicles, epistles, and diary-like historical accounts that express ethnographic sensitivities. Another novel feature of the volume is the deliberate digression of traditional scholars’ focus, and the investigation of rarely examined regions and practices. This approach allows the contributors to spotlight their special areas of research and to share a fresh new look at early modernity. Thus, supported by a thorough research apparatus, these studies propose a new cultural history of the early modern coexistence of various communities, as identified in current research by young scholars.

PRZYSZŁOŚĆ NIE MOŻE SIĘ ZACZĄĆ. Polski dyskurs transformacyjny w perspektywie teorii modernizacji i teorii czasu

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

Projektowanie czy planowanie konfrontuje nas z pytaniem o przyszłość, o konfiguracje, które będą podtrzymywać, przemieniać lub „grzebać” nasze obecne wyobrażenia o życiu społecznym. Dominujące formy myślenia i organizacji przyszłości powstałe podczas transformacji ustrojowej Polski po roku 1989 są skorupą, która ma reprezentować to, co trwałe i pewne. W istocie jest popękana i krucha, coraz słabiej pozwala zrozumieć sposób, w jaki współczesne społeczeństwo polskie konstruuje swój czas. Problem rozpływającego się horyzontu przyszłości, a przynajmniej łatwości, z jaką dziś przychodzi nam jego dekonstrukcja, staje się wyzwaniem intelektualnym, które prowadzi Autora w głąb analizy teorii czasu społecznego i dyskursów o modernizacji w Polsce.dr Mikołaj Lewicki – socjolog, adiunkt w Instytucie Socjologii Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego; jego główne zainteresowania to socjologia gospodarcza oraz socjologia kultury.

Elementy logiki matematycznej i metodologii nauk ścisłych (skrypt z wykładów)

Author(s): Andrzej Indrzejczak,Stanisław Jaśkowski / Language(s): Polish

The presented volume is a reissue of the collection of lecture transcripts on mathematical logic and methodology of exact sciences by Stanisław Jaśkowski (1906-1965), an outstanding Polish logician and mathematician, representative of the Lwów-Warsaw School, the creator of natural deduction systems and paraconsistent logics.The transcripts collection was published in 1947 to meet the needs of students of mathematics at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, with which Jaśkowski was professionally connected for the last twenty years of his life.The book is the author’s original, extraordinarily modern approach to the subject, significantly different from other textbooks. This was the first work in which logic was consistently presented in the form of a natural deduction system, which later became a standard in logic-related didactics. Given that Jaśkowski developed first systems of this type in the 1930s, we are dealing with an extremely important historical testimony of their first use in teaching.Thanks to the outstanding educational value of this transcript collection, it still remains a very interesting reference for specialists, while students can continue relying on it as a useful textbook on logic – all despite the passing of over seventy years since the first edition.

Filozofia – historia – historia filozofii. Filozoficzne konteksty polskiej historiografii filozofii XX wieku

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

Książka jest historyczno-problemowym studium ukazującym na wybranych przykładach, w jaki sposób polscy historycy filozofii i filozofowie XX wieku realizowali filozoficzne cele w ramach badań historycznofilozoficznych. Refleksja nad przeszłością filozoficzną nie musi bowiem stanowić celu samego w sobie, lecz określając swe punkty wyjścia i zadania w kontekście aktualnej sytuacji filozofii, może odsłaniać i podejmować dziś ważną problematykę filozoficzną, stając się w ten sposób formą filozoficznej wypowiedzi. Tak rozumiane filozoficzne zaangażowanie historii filozofii przedstawia autor w ramach dwóch nakładających się na siebie płaszczyzn tematycznych. Pierwsza – na podstawie analizy ukierunkowanej na filozoficzne treści – ukazuje strukturę, genezę i funkcję koncepcji studium dziejów filozofii, które opracowali tacy między innymi badacze, jak: Maurycy Straszewski, Ludwik Chmaj, Leszek Kołakowski, Marek J. Siemek, Stefan Swieżawski, Barbara Skarga. Druga zaś poszukuje filozoficznego wymiaru samych studiów historycznofilozoficznych, które na podstawie opracowanych koncepcji badawczych prowadzili ich twórcy.

Umbra veri. Arnobiusz i nurty filozofii klasycznej

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

The publication constitutes an attempt to show dynamics of the changes of a Europeanthough taking place in a clash of the ancient civilization with Christianity. Thework describing the very clash is Adversus Nationes by Arnobius.The author presents the views this philosopher held on a human soul, human being,its origin, as well as human condition, human fate and its images of God and gods.She shows to which extent various trends of classical philosophy reflect in conceptionsproposed by an apologist.The first chapter presents a person of a writer and a historio-literary context of thecreation of Adversus Nationes. The second chapter is devoted to a presentation ofArnobius’ views on human being creation and condition. She underlines the importanceof the knowledge of certain mechanisms that played a decisive role in shapingArnobius’ worldview (among others the influence of pre-Socratian philosophy onArnobius’ views on a human soul). The anthropological problems are discussed puttinga special emphasis on a human soul and its (im)mortality. The third chapter criticizesa pogan anthropomorphism put forward in apology. The fourth chapter raises the issuethe author calls „umbraverization” while the last two chapters touch upon human cognitivecapacity.The area linking all phenomena is a tight relationship and bonds between twopermeating worlds, an ancient and Christian one in the context of searching the truth.Despite this strong correlation in Adversus Nationes, the pressures between the formerculture of a Greek-Roman antiquity and Christian culture under development are reflected.The originality of Arnobius does not consist in a fact that he created a theologicalor philosophical work, but in basing his apology on the worldview popular in ImperiumRomanum and assumptions of classical philosophy.

Umykanie. Pomyślenia z etnografii życia

Author(s): Wojciech Józef Burszta,Marcin Kafar / Language(s): Polish

The work is a two-author project oriented around the concept of “ethnography of life,” proposed by Wojciech J. Burszta, then taken up and developed by Marcin Kafar. The ethnography of life is a hermeneutic tool for working on one’s own memory (it is captured by the metaphor of the “cadastre”), which–in the process of thinking and writing about it–allows the author/authors to reach events experienced in the past, but today renewed in the constant process of searching for meanings. Its main goal is an attempt to give meaning to one’s own life as a narrative unity (Paul Ricoeur), in the presented work stretched between two mutually complementary poles: private life and professional/scientific life (related to the activity undertaken in the world of the Academy). The distinguishing feature of the publication is its “open form” (Umberto Eco), generated by the specific circumstances of its creation. While the main part was written by Wojciech J. Burszta, the rest of the text was prepared after his death in 2021. The formula of “openness” was then saturated with additions of “blurred genres” (Clifford Geertz), taking the form of auto/biographically oriented explanations showing multiple aspects of the “life and work” of Wojciech J. Burszta. They include e.g. (i) the path of precipitating the concept of “ethnography of life,” taking into account its anthropological and educational nature, (ii) the formative background for exploring the key issues of the variant of Polish humanities at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, expressed through dialogue-constructed passages, and (iii) highly personal (culturally and socially conditioned) ground for understanding the self-human as facing the inevitability of one’s own finitude.

Fragmente zur Ethik

Author(s): Benedetto Croce / Language(s): German

TRANSLATOR’s INTRODUCTION: Croce occasionally remarks that his "Philosophy of Practice" (the third part of his major work) is, hidden for the unadepted, a biographical account - of a very special kind, however, in which the spiritual and conscience struggles of this high spirit are expressed. This seems to me to apply to the present “Fragments on Ethics” to no lesser extent. Behind the inexorable, often almost sober, logical sharpness of these fragments, there is a strong spiritual pathos, thoroughly experienced, not remote from the world and people, and the deep moral feeling of this philosopher, who clearly and definitely defines the autonomy in the practical spirit, in “economic” activity – as he had done regarding the autonomy of the "aesthetic" area. It is precisely because of this that his ethics, purified of foreign components that distort it (like "aesthetics"), become so masculinely strong and deep, far removed from all the aesthetes of yesterday and the hypocritical utilitarianism of today. For this reason, and precisely because we Germans, who not only groan under the brutality but also under the boastful torrent of phrases of our “defeaters”, such a book can become a book of edification and development, I have translated this book of my great friend into German. However, like all of Croce's writings, it requires one thing to the highest degree: thinking along and thinking further. (PUBLISHED BY ALAMTHEA PUBLISHER)

Combinatorial point configurations and polytopes

Author(s): Sergiy Yakovlev,Oksana Pichugina,Liudmyla Koliechkina / Language(s): English

The monograph is dedicated to exploring combinatorial point configurations derived from mapping a set of combinatorial configurations into Euclidean space. Various methods for this mapping, along with the typology and properties of the resultant configurations, are presented. In addition, the study revolves around combinatorial polytopes defined as convex hulls of combinatorial point configurations. The primary focus lies in examining multipermutation and partial multipermutation point configurations alongside their associated combinatorial polytopes known as multipermutohedra and partial multipermutohedra. Our theoretical contributions are substantiated through the proof of theorems and supporting auxiliary statements. Examples and illustrations are included to enhance the comprehension of the material.

Kant wobec judaizmu i chrześcijaństwa na tle oświecenia niemieckiego

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

The author discusses the common belief that Kant, rejecting Judaism as the beginning of Christian sacred history, thus denying his organic connection with Christianity, essentially represented the standard view of his era. Contrary to this thesis, he proves that against the background of Enlightenment theology and philosophy, the Kantian concept was atypical or, at the most, radicalized certain marginal tendencies within the German Enlightenment.

Anateizm. Powrót do Boga po Bogu

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

Has the passing of the old God paved the way for a new kind of religious project, a more responsible way to seek, sound, and love the things we call divine? Has the suspension of dogmatic certainties and presumptions opened a space in which we can encounter religious wonder anew? Situated at the split between theism and atheism, we now have the opportunity to respond in deeper, freer ways to things we cannot fathom or prove. Distinguished philosopher Richard Kearney calls this condition ana-theos, or God after God-a moment of creative “not knowing” that signifies a break with former sureties and invites us to forge new meanings from the most ancient of wisdoms. Anatheism refers to an inaugural event that lies at the heart of every great religion, a wager between hospitality and hostility to the stranger, the other the sense of something “more.” By analyzing the roots of our own anatheistic moment, Kearney shows not only how a return to God is possible for those who seek it but also how a more liberating faith can be born. Kearney begins by locating a turn toward sacred secularity in contemporary philosophy, focusing on Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Paul Ricoeur. He then marks “epiphanies” in the modernist masterpieces of James Joyce, Marcel Proust, and Virginia Woolf. Kearney concludes with a discussion of the role of theism and atheism in conflict and peace, confronting the distinction between sacramental and sacrificial belief or the God who gives life and the God who takes it away. Accepting that we can never be sure about God, he argues, is the only way to rediscover a hidden holiness in life and to reclaim an everyday divinity.

Šta zdrav razum može da učini za društvenu teoriju? : ka pragmatičkom shvatanju prakse

Author(s): Srđan Prodanović / Language(s): Serbian

This book explores the relationship between pragmatism and sociology, highlighting their long-term and deep-rooted theoretical dialogue. Although both approaches share similar interests, their interrelationship is often difficult to analyze due to diversified theoretical traditions. Classical pragmatism, with an emphasis on the role of modern science in understanding the world, influences sociology, which, like pragmatism, strives for theory not only to explain the functioning of the world, but also to provide insights into effective ways of changing it. The author particularly focuses on the works of Emile Durkheim and John Dewey as paradigmatic authors that show these theoretical overlaps. Durkheim, through his lectures at the Sorbonne, connects pragmatism with sociology, suggesting that sociology offers a unique theory of truth that, despite the popularity of the positivist approach, is deeply rooted in pragmatism. This chapter therefore offers an analysis of the initial theoretical overlaps and lays the groundwork for a deeper consideration of their interrelationships, particularly in the context of common sense research.
