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. The end of this paper – of both the first and second part – is to present arguments to the thesis that, on the first hand, the ontological aim of the philosophical theories was and is taken over by the scientific theories and, on the second hand, that the ontological presuppositions are at the same time epistemological, or depend on the epistemological frame of a certain historical thinking.In this final part, the materialist character o...
ABSTRACT. The reasons of this paper, presented in two issues, are two‑folds: to pass through the history of the concept of matter and to emphasise the episte‑mological significances of this history. Some characteristics of the philosophical theories and the scientific theories are underlined too. Indeed, our philosophy pays little attention to the concept of matter and thus to the changes within the scientific theories concerning the matter. Why t...
ABSTRACT: The paper emphasises the epistemological significances of the operation of bracketing as a universal constituent of the process of knowing. Indeed, although bracketing has gained notoriety through Husserl’s phenome‑ nological view – and obviously the paper uses too the meanings given by Husserl (and his forerunners who have referred in a way or another to the act of putting in parenthesis) –, a larger perspective than this view is consid...
Abstract Written in honour of the late Academician Georg Brutian, the paper draws attention on one of the most special means of the transformative logic, the corrective argumentation, called here rea-soning, that better emphasises the specific of arguments as such: that to inform semantically about the intention to arrive to certain conclusions. The corrective reasoning is that which reviews not on-ly the validity of inferences, but also of the di...
ABSTRACT: This paper – whose first version was presented as Argumentum in the Book of abstracts of the 2015 spring session of the Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science, Rhythms in science and society – is written in a both implied and explicit view of sociology of science. But, because of its aim to suggest some topics linking the concept of rhythm to science and society, it refers: (1) to the philosophical concept of rhythm, (2...
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...
