K interpretaci Hegelovy filosofie státu
A Contribution to the Interpretation of Hegel’s Philosophy of State
view |
rights & permissions
This paper contains preliminary notes on an interpretation of Hegel’s political philosophy. It concentrates on the last part of The Philosophy of Right, i. e. sphere of the ethical life. A thesis defended in the paper is that it is Hegel’s notion of bureaucracy which is crucial for the interpretation. Concepts are employed of civil society and public sphere by J. Habermas, as well as of habitus by P. Bourdieu in order to highlight fragmented character of the civil society. Therefore, the bureaucracy is given major role in realization of “the concrete universal” by means of both public administration and parliamentary politics. The centrality of bureaucracy in political integration is therefore called administrative nationalism.

Cesta Karla Vorovky k Americké filosofii
Karel Vorovka’s Way to American Philosophy
view |
rights & permissions
This year it is 130 years since the birth and 80 years since the death of Karel Vorovka (3/2/1879 – 15/1/1929) as well as 80 years since the publication of his American Philosophy. The author shows the way that led Vorovka to this work: his strong orientation to western thinking, his attendance at the 6th international philosophical congress taking place at Harvard University in Cambridge near Boston (13–17/9/1926) and his personal and professional relationships with Anglo-American philosophers. It presents Vorovka’s “trip reports” from American meetings and the results of his studies: reviews of some Harvard philosophers’ works (R. B. Perry, W. A. Hocking, C. I. Lewis) and journal articles on American neo-realism, personalism and behaviorism, which were eventually included in his American Philosophy.

Jan Patočka a Kosíkova Dialektika konkrétního
Jan Patočka and Kosík’s Dialectics of the Concrete
view |
rights & permissions
Kosík’s work Dialectics of the Concrete (1963) attracted great attention both in Czechoslovakia and abroad. Jan Patočka was among those who responded to the book in 1960s. One of the reasons for his interest was the fact that Kosík used elements of Heidegger’s philosophy to overcome dogmatic Marxism. Patočka pointed out that Kosík had not adopted the ontological intention of Heidegger’s analyses of everydayness, which creates a certain tension in his work. Kosík’s dialectics of the concrete, which stems from an analysis of everyday practice, never became, in Patočka’s opinion, a dialectic of real life.

Realistické vysvětlení úspěchu vědy aneb no miracle argument
Realistic Explanation of Scientific Success or No Miracle Argument
view |
rights & permissions
The article deals with some problems that concern the reliability of scientific knowledge and the rationality of scientific theories’ acceptance. The central attention is paid to the discussion between realists and instrumentalists and the controversies over literally interpretation of theories and their ontological commitments. The author examines one famous argument for realism (no miracle argument). She engages in the problems to which the argument is exposed (the circularity and the pesimmistic induction) and considers the possibilities to avoid them. The author concludes by claiming that even though no offered strategy is able to withstand effectively the pessimism that arises fromthe history of science, there is no reason to reject the realistic thesis.

Abélard a Heloisa
Abelard and Heloise
view |
rights & permissions
Love, universals, a new written source, deceit and treason – all of that can be seen in a play on the love affair between the philosopher Abélard and his conscientious student Heloise. A recently discovered letter of Abelard reveals that he actually never lost his manhood, but only pretended his bad luck to find peace and quiet for his philosophical contemplations on, among other things, universals.

Jan Hus a Stanislav ze Znoyma
John Huss and Stanislav of Znoymo
view |
rights & permissions
A „dramatic humoresque“ – not exactly a truthful version of the clash of ideas of two major medieval Czech figures, John Huss and his philosophically more vigorous teacher Stanislav of Znoymo. In our version Huss invents the matches in order to set the world on fire and thus purify the church of evil – the audience and readers´ task is to find all historical and factual inaccuracies deliberately incorporated into the play.

Filosof(ie) a žena
Philosophy(-pher) and the woman
view |
rights & permissions
The history of philosophy is dominated by men’s names – does that mean philosophy is inaccessible to women? Or could we even say that the woman is the philosopher’s enemy that hinders his intellectual efforts? Or is it the contrary, being the philosopher’s Muse, she helps promote philosophical thought? To answer these questions, the play offers four rather fictional stories about renowned philosophers and their significant others, drawing from Jiří Cetl’s work But they were philosophers... (Ale vždyť to byli filozofové..., Brno 2000). It introduces Socrates and his wife Xanthippa, Epicure and Athenian hetaerae, John Lock with a young French lady and finally Jean-Jacquesem Rousseau with his prospective wife and mother-in-law. The ultimate answer to the questions remains to be decided by the reader.

How to Find the Right Prince

This children’s play attempts to show the audience the long and troublesome journey that the Platonist has to take to reach the genuine knowledge and find the goal of human life. All of the epistemic options offered by Plato are so uncertain that the happy ending of the journey to the true being (Platonic Forms) can only be ensured by one thing – a fairy tale.

Time has disappeared. It must have been a murder. Who is guilty? The most important figures of the history of philosophy and science are summoned to sing and clearly express their relation to time. The philosophical musical does not end in bloody execution, though. It turns out that no murder was actually committed, as time has never, does not, and will never exist.

A Possible World Is Not Necessarily Enough or A Play for a Cat
view |
rights & permissions
The hero of this play – Arthur – introduces to the audience and readers several different worlds that share the fact that they are all possible worlds. The theory of possible worlds is the major theoretical background of the play. The plot is based on the idea that one and the same individual can appear in several possible worlds in a more or less different form. If one finds a way of traveling among the worlds – at least fictionally on the stage – which is accomplished by the Cat, the Schrödinger´s Cat, Arthur can set off for a journey to meet himself or possibly even God.

Dějiny pojmů a pojmy dějin
Die Geschichte der Begriffe und Begriffe der Geschichte
view |
rights & permissions
In dem Kapitel Die Geschichte der Begriffe und Begriffe der Geschichte aus dem Buch Begriffsgeschichten beschreibt der Verfasser wechselseitige, zum Teil auch gegenseitige Prozesse der Begriffsbildung in den historischen Wissenschaften. Er unterscheidet zwischen den sprachlichen Begriffen der Geschichte und aussersprachlichen Geschichte, die bei mangelden Aufmerksamkeit der Wissenschaftler leicht zur Geschichten werden können. Die Begriffsgeschichte beginnen dem Koselleck nach von der Erfahrung, wo die Ereignisse begrifflich zusammengefasst sind; die repetitive Struktur der Sprache, die mit Vorausbedeutungen arbeitet, wird dann zur Voraussetzung, dass man in der Geschichte etwas „Neues“ entdecken oder aber herausbilden kann. So entsteht eine innere Spannung zwischen geschichtlichen Sachverhalten und ihrer sprachlichen Erfassung, die die Entstehung von den Geschichtsbegriffen folgt; es entstehen Begriffe möglicher, nicht aber notwendig realer Geschichte, und Geschichte werden zu Geschichten. In der Philosophie ist das Buch von Kosselleck besonders für die Geschichtsphilosophie wichtig.

O logice, jejím předmětu a poslání – a také o jedné knize oceněné AV ČR
On logic, its subject and mission – and on a book rewarded by Academy of Sciences of Czech Republic
view |
rights & permissions
The Author refers about the award bestowed to a book on logic and uses this opportunity to say some words: (a) about logic and its role in our life, (b) about mathematical and philosophical logic, (c) about a highly inspiring theory in philosophical logic whose author has been the late Czech logician Pavel Tichý and, finally, (d) about the rewarded book:M. Duží, B. Jespersen, P. Materna, Procedural Semantics for Hyperintensional Logic (Foundations and Applications of Transparent Intensional Logic), Springer 2010 (awarded by Academy of Sciences of Czech Republic for a scientific outcome).A very brief survey of the subject of logic (mathematical as well as philosophical logic) precedes a brief characteristic of some important notions and principles of TIL. The Author tries to convince the Reader that logic in general, philosophical logic in particular and, in the end, TIL need not be as famous as modern physic and Einstein but that all the same their mediate influence on science and ‘mental hygiene’ is arguably great. Some specific features of TIL (as compared with other comparable theories) are referred to and positively evaluated.
