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.

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

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.

rights & permissions
The article deals with interpretation of a text from a philosophical perspective. The starting point is conception of interpretation as an art; this conception was formulated by hermeneutics in relation to the specific demands of the methodology of humanities. Interpretation approaches of the 20th century are characterised by elaborating the basic interpretation theories with respect to philosophical styles and main strains of thought. As it is a theme that touches several research fields, significant pieces of knowledge not only from philosophy, but also from literary science or aesthetic areas are briefly presented in the article.

Suárezova kritika pojetí vnitřní smyslovosti u Tomáše Akvinského
Suárez’s Critique of Inner Sensual Knowledge of Aquinas‘ Conception
view |
rights & permissions
This paper mainly deals with Suárez’s theory of inner sensual knowledge – one of the traditional issues in the works of Aristotle’s disciples, but nowadays hardly reflected. The aim of this paper is also to show the reader how Francisco Suárez deals with the inner sensation problem in his commentary of Aristotle’s De Anima, and also to demonstrate how Suárez criticizes the Aquinas’ analysis of this problem and offers his own simpler solution. Suárez refuses any possibility of plurality of inner senses and also denies any possibility that inner senses can somehow reason about things as well as the intellect.

The Return to TGM of 1945–1948

The Return to TGM of 1945–1948 brought a new reading of Masaryk’s theoretical and political legacy. In that social situation, what was particularly emphasized was Masaryk’s philosophy of democracy and his social philosophy was misinterpreted as socialist with the goal of sustaining and renewing positive values that his work and politics had been associated with. The after-war period initiated further interest in Masaryk and his conceptions of science, philosophy, sociology, religion, philosophy of Czech history, philosophy of politics and philosophical anthropology.

Vliv Lambertovy filozofie na výsledky Kantových metafyzických zkoumání v letech 1764–1781
The Influence of Lambert’s Philosophy on the Outcome of Kant’s Metaphysical Investigations between 1764 and 1781
view |
rights & permissions
The author of this paper has thoroughly studied the correspondence between I. Kant and J. H. Lambert and deals with the problem of Lambert’s influence on the creation and shape of the transcendental method used in Kant’s central work The Critique of Pure Reason. He points out that the discussion on the method stems from a deeper problem of the a general conception of metaphysics. Both authors as well as several other prominent philosophers of the time advocated differing positions. While Lambert only reformed traditional metaphysics (in dianoiology, alethiology, semiotics and phenomenology), Kant considered the reforms hopeless and created the method of transcendental criticism in his Critique of Pure Reason to serve as a foundation for new metaphysics that could be regarded a science. The study shows in detail the long-term problems that the process went through.

Úvod do novokantovství
Introduction to Neo-Kantianism
view |
rights & permissions
The author of the essay focuses on the history and sources of Neo-Kantianism. He points out two sources: a negative one and a positive one. The positive source is historicism and a negative relation to Kant. The concept of historicity (Geschichtlichkeit) relates mainly to the way of being of human spirit and its products. This term had appeared in the works of Hegel, Schleiermacher and Nietzsche, but it was only with Dilthey that it received greater publicity. Dilthey meant by the term a basic existential structure of man: namely the fact that man is not just “drawn” into history, but this “draw” is an essential characteristic of human being. The other source is the relation to Kant taken as an attribute differentiating between the individual philosophers. The return to Kant is a basic sign of Neo-Kantianism, since at the time of its emergence the opinion that it is necessary to give up Hegel’s panlogism was widely spread. The author also believes that we should regard the return to Kant as dispensation with the requirement of scientism (exactness) and also as a defense against the attempts to place philosophy outside scientifically regarded culture. The essay ends with a sketch of metaphysical exposition of Kant’s transcendental philosophy.

Ó hovado: osobní argumentace v Descartových Meditacích
Oh, Flesh: Personal Argumentation in Descartes’ Meditations
view |
rights & permissions
The text is devoted to partial argumentative analysis of Descartes’ Meditations in terms of persuasive schemes of personal argumentatiton. Descartes’ Meditations are used as a source of illustrations for various types of personal reasoning and the corresponding critical questions. Attention is given both to positive and negative form of a personal argumentation, namely to a pattern of ad hominem and ad verecundiam. The analysis presents variations of argumentative scheme and relevant evaluation tool. The text also offers justification for the interpretation of Descartes’ salutation ‘O caro’ as a persuasive move within the meaning of ad hominem argumentation, which is reflected in its controversial Czech translation.
