Fragmenti

Author(s): Jacques Derrida / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Čim otvorim usta ja zaveštavam, što je malo verovatno, neverovatno u mom životu, to je pravilo koje bih hteo da sledim i koje prosuđuje, jednom reči, dvoboj između onoga što pišem i onoga što bi gore, iznad, u tekstu Džef napisao, pored ili iznad mene, po meni, ali isto tako i za mene, meni u prilog, ka meni i umesto mene, jer, mogli biste da primetite da, biće da je njegov hvalospev vrele hladnoće, jednom reči...

Čemu to umiru filozofi? O političkoj funkciji jednog studentskog zahtjeva

Author(s): Borislav Mikulić / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

The purpose of this contribution is to reflect upon institutional and political sense of a local philosophy student group asking after Jacques Derrida when he died. The iniciative came in a philosophical context lacking, since 1970s, any serious reception of Derrida’s theoretical work by eather philosophical currents (marxist, analytical or hermeneutical), and in the very asking after Derrida the iniciative both fails to recognize its real philosophical target and succedes in reveiling the void of local philosophy as event of thought. It is, such is at least the message of this “postcard”, just this function of Derrida’s being mere name that might serve to re-organize a self-understanding of young philosophers.

Derrida sa Levinasom. Komentar jednog ogleda

Author(s): Boris R. Bratina / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

This text is a part of a broader examination that considers Derrida’s relation to Levinas in his early works. It is particulary focused on “Violence and Metaphysics- an essay on the thought of Emmanuel Levinas”. In the text that I present here I investigate the so-called ontological violence. The main point I claim is that Derrida’s argumentation against Levinas, in spite of its deconstructive\destructive effects, still remains in the manner which was described by Levinas as an empirial nature of western thought. Besides that, I amshowing some indications for posing that there is functional paralelism between Levinas’ doublet face\Other and Derrida’s being\differance. Furthermore, I believe that if we consider all three kinds of violence and other Derrida’s texts, which were written those years, it might be shown that the theory of the Other was used as the transforming model toward the theory of differance. The pattern for this can be seen in Derrida’s degradation of meaning of “face” related to the rank which that concept has for Levinas. So, all this testifies about mutual positive influence, maybe for both of them, at least Levinas remains as his fourth inspiration after 3H (Hegel, Husserl, and Heidegger).

Kritika čistog gostoprimstva

Author(s): Ivan Milenković / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Dans ce texte l’auteur souligne la tension qui régne entre, d’un coté, principe de l’hospitalité inconditionnelle qui impose d’ouvrir la porte a chaque nouveau venu, ŕ tout étranger, qui vient de n’importe oů et, de l’autre coté, l’hospitalité conditionnelle qui se manifeste dans toutes les lois de l’hospitalité. Cette tension est directement visible dans le statut juridique et politique des refugiés et des personnes sans-papiers et indirectement elle touche les concepts politiques traditionnels, il y a peu de temps presqu’ intouchables, comme c’est la souveraineté, l’appartenance étnique oů un Etat-nation. Dans ce sens l’auteur fait la différence entre un étranger et un réfugié, en montrant que bien que le réfugié est toujours un étranger, l’étranger n’est pas toujours un réfugié, en tenant compte de la différence de leur status juridique et politiques, c’est a dire en ayant en vu les lois d’(in)hospitalité.

Evropa: „mi“ i drugi

Author(s): Adriana Zaharijević / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

This paper questions the paradox of hospitality from within, by interrogating the phrase We, the Europeans. By employing the metaphor of mythical raped, putatively black Europe, it introduces the concept of foundational/conservative violence, as a means to initiate and maintain the European production of otherness. Whereas previously the conception of the other was mapped and fabricated for colonizing purposes by those who possessed the power to “civilize”, nowadays all the others tend to slip out of their imposed image, trying to imbricate themselves in the genuinely European – male and white – model of “man and citizen”. In contrast to available patterns of assimilation of and indifference towards the others, I propose Derridian concept of negotiation as a way of dealing with the other. Negotiation displaces and uproots the horizons of the possible, since it advocates neither monopoly nor dissipation. The paper ultimately endeavors to present itself as a kind of “double-binded” negotiation, as having been written by a dubious European and a woman.

Мартин Хайдегер и феноменологическата традиция от началото на ХХ век

Author(s): Nikolai Uzunov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

This paper studies the early works of Martin Heidegger from the period between 1913 and 1920. It reveals in what way the philosopher develops his criticism toward the ideas of psychologism in Germany. The research focuses on the historical and philosophic context,in which these first attempts were made. The issue of psychologism is presented through analysis of the development of the psychology in the late 19th century and the early 20th century. In this way, the texts of Heidegger are analyzed both from the perspectives of this tradition and through the prism of the emerging phenomenological study of Edmund Husserl.

Digitalno ja

Author(s): Jelena Guga / Language(s): Serbian

The ubiquitous use of digital technologies has enabled vast possibilities such as instant access to information, presence on any part of the planet, multiplication and transformation of identity, as well as re-articulation and reconstruction of embodiment. Science fiction film and literature, new media art practices, scientific research, and cyber theories often deal with the idea of leaving the body behind and uploading the immortal mind into digital databases where we can be whatever and whoever we want. Compared to modern technology, biological body is often considered obsolete and, as such, it is not “equipped” keep up with the exponential technological development. It is not surprising then that many studies, either scientific or popular, disregard the problem of corporeality and focus more on the issues of identity, consciousness, and disembodiment in digital worlds. Therefore, this book presents the works that focus on the issues of embodiment in the context of new media and their impact on social reality. The starting premise of the discussions is that without a physical body, there is neither virtual nor real. The book points to the importance of the physical body in biotechnological interfaces and the ways the role and functions of the body transform in virtual environments and affect our perceptions and understanding of human ontology

Evropski diskurs rata

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): English,Croatian,Serbian

Prva zamisao ovog filozofskog zbornika o ratu njegovom diskursu nastala je početkom devedesetih godina. Ta zamisao nije bila lišena, tako da kažem, mirovnjačke diplomatije. U pozadini ubrzanih i veoma dramatičnih dogadaja u Jugoslaviji, postepeno koncepcijsko uobličenje zbornika poprimilo je didaktičke tonove. Ono što je ovaj zbornik nastojao da rekonstruiše u području teksta, ponovo je, u svoj žestini, progovorilo kontekstualno. U ranim devedesetim, javni diskurs su nasilno kolonizovali upravo oni elementi govora rata za koje sam verovao da su odavno otpisani i nepovratno arhivirani. Neprosvećene i sasvim primitivne forme militarističkog diskursa nezadrživo su provalile u svakodnevni život. Uprkos neobično čestom iskustvu rata, s kojim smo se ovde i sada ponovo susreli, iznenadio me je nizak teorijski nivo ratničkog diskursa. Pod naletom gole sile, procedura raćionalnog argumentisanja sasvim je izostala: atavizam ratnih sredstava ponovo je preuzeo mandat kultivisanim inicijativama.

Индивидуални различия при вземане на решения

Author(s): Georgi Karastoyanov / Language(s): Bulgarian

The monograph attempts to provide an empirically grounded answer to a number of discussional scientific issues related to individual decision-making differences by building a comprehensive conceptual model and constructing a specifically selected toolbox as a prerequisite for creating an empirically validated methodology in the field of research of individual differences in decision-making. Original empirical results have been obtained confirming that the style of decision-making is not identical to cognitive style (nor is it a subset, but contains a cognitive component that does not exhaust any of the styles) and is related to mental self-regulation due to individual differences, generated by the ways of satisfying the hedonistic motif (regulatory focus and fashion), the need to control excitement (stress control), and the need for connectivity and increased self-esteem. These results are a prerequisite for the further development of individual decision-making research as well as the decision-making theory itself, because it allows for a fuller consideration of individual differences and their interaction with the characteristics of the situation and the problem that is being solved.The methodological basis of the study is the cognitive survival theory of Seymour Epstein. The results and theoretical summaries obtained empirically confirm the validity of the global personality theory that has the potential to explain new scientific problems, incorporating private theories such as E. Tory Higgins' motivational theory and Mark R. Leary's sociometric mechanism.

200 godina Friedricha Engelsa

Author(s): / Language(s): Croatian,Serbian

This anthology book is published on the occasion of the bicentennial of the birth of Friedrich Engels, an exceptional thinker and theorist of the revolution. Editors Maroje Višić and Miroslav Artić gathered renowned domestic and international scientists who tried to reevaluate Engels' works and his scientific contribution. The idea behind the book is to point out the everlasting value and significance of Engels’ revolutionary philosophy. Contributing authors offered analytical reading of Engels' ideas, addressing pressing issues in economics, politics, religion, feminism, ideology and in other segments of contemporary society. The papers in an anthology are organized under the chapters: The Reception of Engel’s Philosophy, Actuality of Engels Today with subchapters on working-class and precariat, peasantry as the subject of change, early Christianity as an inspiration; and the last chapter is Revalorization of Family and State. The first chapter tackles the questions if Engels was more than an interpreter of Marx or simply the first Marxist who contributed to the banalization of Marx. It then investigates reception of Engels’ philosophy in ex-Yugoslavia specifically and in philosophical theory in general. The second chapter demonstrates actuality and relevance of Engels today by discussing the topics of working-class and precariat, by making comparison between early industrial society and contemporary society and by tracking development of socialism from utopia to a science. Chapter also deals on the peasantry whose role as a subject of change is thoroughly problematized. Special part of the chapter is dedicated to the influence of the practice of early Christianity on the formation of Engels’ revolutionary idea and to what extent original Christian community served affected the development of Engels’ thought. Final chapter brings papers that, under new circumstances, re-examine the understanding of the state-family relation and their dynamic. This comprehensive anthology attempted to revalorize and appraise Engels’ own contribution to science and philosophy 200 years after his birth. For this it was necessary to “divorce” Engels from Marx so that the fallacy of statement that Engels was second violin to Marx becomes striking.Chapter one tackle the question of whetherEngels was more than an interpreter of Marx or simply the first Marxist to contribute to the banalization of Marx.= Engels' reception is then examined both in the former Yugoslavia and in philosophical theory in general.Special part of the chapter is dedicated to influence of the practice of early Christianity on the formation of Engels’ revolutionary idea. That is, to what extent the examples of the original Christian communities influenced the development of Engels' thought

Author(s): Mihaela Gligor,Ioan Dura,Ştefan Bolea,Claudiu Mesaroş,Ion Cordoneanu,Laurenţiu Gheorghe / Language(s): Romanian

Any reference to the Romanian philosophy of the 20th century must also contain details about its relationship with modernity / modernization. As everywhere in Europe, in Romania, modernity has produced a paradigm shift. This position expressed a certain way of thinking about philosophy in a modernizing society. This volume contains the works of the Panel entitled "Tradition and modernization in Romanian philosophy in the twentieth century", proposed and moderated by Mihaela Gligor, as part of the International Conference "Modernism, modernization, modernity. Historiographical and methodological perspectives", organized by the "George Baritiu" Institute of History of the Romanian Academy of Sciences and Babeș Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca, between October 13-15, 2021, within the Cluj Academic Days 2021.

L’ironie suppose un moral d’acier

Author(s): Jaques de Decker / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

Irony prevents tears, bursts of anger, bursts of laughter. It implies cold blood, a capacity for retreat, an affective solidity, a "morale of steel". Irony, in other words, demands resistance - word that rhymes with distance. Resistance to immediate perception, and automatic reflex, which presupposes a passage, a detour, a deferment as well. This slowdown, this pause between the trigger agent and its consequence, which implies a passage through a mysterious area that is inhabited only by subjectivity, is what sets it apart from what one persists in calling intelligence.

CIORAN, HEIDEGGER AND ADORNO – EXIT FROM THE "NOTEBOOKS"

Author(s): Ovidiu-Marius Bocsa / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The gesture of leaving a given environment/milieu or an exteriorization of "interiority" and "subjectivity" is as risky as that of suicide to understand death. Forgetting, ultimate sincerity, exaltation, deconstructive memory could be quite unexpected and unwanted forms of death by anchoring in an unknown port marked by anxiety, or eviscerating an eye, that is, restricting vision, vision and creative imagination under the tyranny of the ideas. I added three individual models. "Notebooks" are a threshold, e.g. a space for intermediation, exit or entry, or stumbling. The warning in the pavilion would sound like this: We can be guided by utopias and generous ideas, but they can degrade, becoming ideologies that lead to dystopias, nihilism, disasters, frustrations and self-frustrations, regrets. "Let's leave the door open for us," Theodor W. Adorno urges us somewhere in A Message from The Bottle, that is, to leave neither hope nor the possibility of returning to ourselves, that is, after the beautiful Romanian saying of "come to our senses", to return to our (human) nature.

A Textual-Critical Study and Interpretation of the Liturgical Response

Author(s): Jack Khalil / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This paper explores the hermeneutical background of the response to the final diaconal acclamation prior to the initiatory dialogue of the Eucharistic anaphora currently used in both Eucharistic formularies of the Orthodox Church, those of St Basil and St John Chrysostom. Specifically, this study examines the response, «Ἔλεον εἰρήνης, θυσίαναἰνέσεως», to diaconal command, «Στῶμεν καλῶς· στῶμεν μετὰ φόβου· πρόσχωμεν τὴν ἁγίανἀναφορὰν ἐν εἰρήνῃ προσφέρειν». After presenting the historical data and variants of the above response (as found in patristic quotes, liturgical commentaries, manuscript variants, ancient Latin translations and other Eucharistic formularies such as the Hagiopolite Liturgy of St James), this study provides an outline of the way in which contemporary experts in the field of liturgiology have understood this phrase. To follow, this paper explores the syntactical structure of the response in relation to the preceding acclamation. Particular analysis will be made of the grammatical and syntactical use of the present, active, infinitive«προσφέρειν». Finally, this paper demonstrates that the response in its current form offers a specific biblical hermeneutical understanding of the Eucharistic oblation (anaphora) in relation to the Old Testament sacrificial offerings.

Knowledge and Power in a Chinese Post(Semi)Colonial Context

Author(s): Pavel Petkov / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

An important part of postcolonial critical discourse – which originated in the work of Michel Foucault and which I find rather useful for analyzing the images of China produced by twentieth-century travel writers – is the complex relationship between knowledge and power. Foucault himself declares that one of the main goals of his archaeological endeavors is “to rediscover on what basis knowledge and theory became possible” (Foucault 1973, xxiii) and develops the argument that power and knowledge are invariably and inseparably connected in a way that is by no means innocent. To Foucault, knowledge always bestows to its bearer a certain kind of power over the entity that is being ‘known’ or over the very discourse that produces ‘truths’ about this entity. “[P]ower and knowledge directly imply one another. There is no power relation without the correlative constitution of a field of knowledge, nor any knowledge that does not presuppose and constitute at the same time power relations” (Foucault 1973: 27). The two notions clearly depend on each other: they seem to be indispensable parts of the same discursive paradigm. Said states that “[k]nowledge gives power, more power requires more knowledge, and so on in an increasingly profitable dialectic of information and control” (Said 1978: 36).
