Abstract: The paper is an epistemological fathoming of the problem of hybrids in the cultural life. But –or as a result of this goal – some conclusions have been established not only in relation with the topic, but also with the general approach of the cultural/even super-structural phenomena.Thus, comparing what has happened in the modern science from at least the second half of the 20th century – the consciousness and principles of inter-discipl...
ABSTRACT. Arthur Schopenhauer’s Mirror: the Will, the Suffering, the Compssion as Philosophical Challenges. In philosophy, the celebration of Arthur Schopenhauer has already ended. Only the last year was anniversary (of his birth and of the publication of the first volume of The World as Will and Representation), but the importance of this non-conformist creator is never superfluous to highlight. In this article, there is, certainly, a very limite...
Abstract. The paper counter-poses the two senses of the Gay Science metaphor: the first which was imposed by the medieval troubadours and the second - by Nietzsche. Just from these two points of view are evaluated the directions of use of the IT towards the expectations and illusions linked to them. But philosophy can also be judged in this frame.
Abstract: First of all, the anthropological approach of space is counter-posed to the objectivistic one. Then, by discussing a philosophical theory about space as a cultural construct and factor of style shaping the way of life and trajectory of a people, the paper intends to emphasise a philosophical solution in a time of world crisis. Indeed, the inter-war Lucian Blaga wrote his work in a time of phase crisis: the monopoly phase crisis of capita...
Abstract: Present authoritarian tendencies and actual totalitarian manifestations are generally a result of the crisis of capitalism. They can be better explained, in more detail, through examining the continuity and discontinuity of the comparable phenomena, such as fascism and anti-fascism, through analyses of the official and popular representations of the anti0faschim of sixty years ago, by making a link between the old fascism and the present...
Abstract: The paper highlights a neglected status of the ruled, that of victim. It questions what a victim is, and points out the historical conditions of the generalised social status of victims, the ideological representations of the status of victims in the formation of the social fabric, the dominant point of view in the historical representations on the relations of victim generation, and the paradigm shifting from the standpoint of victims....
Abstract:This paper is focusing on the non-professional side of Einstein’s thinking. Even if one could demonstrate that theories in physics and the political conceptions do not follow each from the other, I’m trying to show that Einstein’s revolutionary non-conformism in physics was related to his non-conformist humanism. This happened because of a special and complex historical moment. It was the end of la belle époque, when the accumulations of...
Abstract: Actually, the aim of my paper is not so much to discuss Octavio Paz’s political view, than to warn against a present tendency to celebrate the idea of rupture with the intellectual support of the popular conatus and will of human dignity and joy of life. The modern tradition has called this support left-wing, but I am not interested to use this label, or rather I use the well-known political formulas (left-wing, right-wing) for convenien...
The paper discusses the problem of “competition” between the image and the articulated language/text. The problem as such is historical and it reflects the change between the language based communication (including the radio era) and the mainly image based communication. Opposing to those who equate the image construction in the information and communication technology with the impoverishment of meanings and necessity and ability of logical/ratio...
WHY LABOUR AND WHAT KIND OF LABOUR? FROM MODERN TO SOME PRESENT PHILOSOPHICAL REMARKS1Abstract In the beginning, the traditional model of labour is related to the traditional aim and ideal of a good life. The reason is to emphasise that philosophy has to solve the problem of the possibility to generalise the model of a creative and pleasant life. Therefore the goal of the paper is twofold. The first is to question the necessity of labour from the...
