This paper aims to compare the concept of otherness in Emmanuel Levinas and in Martin Buber. More precisely we would like to examine the possibility to apply the concept of otherness in environmental philosophy. The concept of otherness used by Levinas in his later work makes it complicated to apply this concept in the area of environmental philosophy. On the contrary Buber used the concept of otherness that requires including other entities to this concept (abstract entities and several material entities) and his philosophy is therefore more open to the application of this concept in the environmental philosophy.

The aim of the paper is to present Alain Finkielkraut’s work as rooted in philosophical thinking of Emmanuel Lévinas and Hannah Arendt. For this purpose authors emphasize the relationship between Finkielkraut’s analysis of the crisis of contemporary culture and his interpretation of Lévinas’s philosophical thought, as well as with Arendt’s. Authors focus on main concepts developed by Arendt and L´evinas, which, as they argue, became essential for Finkielkraut’s critical approach: otherness, responsibility, justice, understanding of politics, and public sphere. Authors argue also that Finkielkraut’s imaginative readings of Lévinas and Arendt are not only an important contribution to understanding of both thinkers but also testify to the originality of his work.

This paper analyses data from the prefaces and after words of the Venetian Cyrillic printed books between 1519/20 and 1572 in purpose of establishing how notions of otherness and identity are modelled in and through language. The assumption is that behind the concentration of multilingual books in the 16th century capital of the European printing lie the coming together of people from different ethnicity. Complex intercultural interactions emerge between printers and men of letters involved in the dissemination of books through the printing press. The aim is to clarify how the emigrant status of the Cyrillic book in Venice and of its creators manifests itself.

The paper is focused on the social facets of the creativity that were investigated in CEVIT studies. The term positive deviance is applied in considerations of a) creativity in the interpersonal contents and processes, b) dilemmas of creator's otherness and motivation, and c) creativity little and creativity big. The analysis of the benefits and costs of creativity is related to the contents that were either designed by researcher or inferred from the participants' reports. The concept of little and big creativity which is introduced within the frame of dynamic model of creativity and its implications for value-led research of creativity is considered.

The way the modern world goes gives rise to the necessity of changes in the education system. We cease to be a homogeneous society and allow diversity and difference in many aspects of our life. Disabled individuals and their position in various life structures constitute elements of the puzzle called otherness. School makes a perfect place to start educational jobs which involve promoting acceptance and tolerance towards others. Educators deal with those aspects of their work which lead to evoking proper behavior and the right attitude towards disabled people. One vital step ahead in making children aware of the problem is to open their eyes to the hierarchy of values.

The paper presents a non-conventional approach to non-participation in survey-respondents' behaviour. The topic of the analysis is the attitudes to certain minorities in the population - sexual minorities, people with body and mental handicap. These sexual and bodily forms of otherness are being discussed in the conceptual framework of cultural and intimate citizenship. Empirical data indicate a significantly higher incidence of respondents' refusal to answer questions concerning conditions, chances and needs of citizens with above mentioned otherness - as compared to assessing conditions of other minorities; simultaneously, claims for help from the society are significantly less acknowledged for these groups. A demographic profile of the most frequently 'refusing' respondents is characteristic by certain education, age and residence size. Results are discussed in the context of the overall value-background in Slovakia, its political development, and current discourses on sexual and bodily otherness.

It is a very naive illusion, originally fostered by the ideology of European Enlightenment and Romanticism, that a single human being - or a single human language - can be universal. However, it is this illusion that stays behind a widespread belief that 'one can translate anything'. In fact, however, human languages, as well as personalities, mutually supplement each other. This interrelation of human languages is best approached from the background of the European Philosophy of Dialogue: a text written in another language appears to be the Other, 'l'Autre' of Emmanuel Levinas, who can be my guest, but never falls completely into my possession. That is why every attempt of translation is actually a subtle balance between translation and untranslatability. It may be even treated as a labour of Sisyphus, if one can imagine him writing down the 'voices of land', which Camus portrays him to hear, at the faces of his stone: a work that contains some beauty, but will never be completed or done satisfactorily. This philosophy of translation is illustrated by three mini-case studies: 'deceptive loanword' (English/French 'proposition'), 'neologism' (Aristotle's 'to ti en einai') and 'untranslatability' (English 'belief/believe/disbelieve'), each having peculiar set of options and difficulties when translated into Ukrainian.

The paper deals with the consciousness of mortality as a means of assimilating the radical other (i.e. death) in human life. By introducing the ontological aspects, such as non-functionality, irreversibility, necessity, universality, potentiality and post-mortality, the death and mortality are interpreted with regard to the otherness. The otherness of death is either relative, or absolute. Attention is paid also to the death anxiety. In conclusion the question is asked, whether it is possible to speak meaningfully about death.

This paper traces the development of British conceptualization of the European space by analyzing three anthropological or travel-writing works that represent three distinct periods in the history of the relationship between Britain and Eastern Europe: the Victorian era, the Cold War period, and the post-Cold War present. The aim of the paper is not to evaluate the anthropological validity of these works, which would be outside of the authoress's expertise. Taking Edward Said's Orientalism (1978) as its main theoretical reference, the study explores the degrees and kinds of orientalism present in the language of these works. The paper concludes by reflecting on the power embedded in the language of some EU documents, speeches and media releases concerned with the EU enlargement after the end of the Cold War.

The aim of the paper is the comparison of the conceptions of Emmanuel Levinas and Maurice Blanchot, which should serve as a basis of the further contemplation of the relationship between thinking and experience. The shared critical view of the phenomenological interpretation of experience leads both philosophers to an alternative conception, in which experience transcends thinking and in face of such an experience the reality is an alterity. However, the experience of alterity, which underlines the wholeness and temporal unity of all human thinking, is conceived differently, resulting in different conceptions of subjectivity: By Levinas the dominating role is played by humankind as the opposite of the nonhuman, while by Blanchot the dichotomy is dissolved. His conception is thus a challenge to conceive the experience, thinking and reality beyond the human/nonhuman dichotomy.

The article has to do with the issue of war and violence in the thought of Emmanuel Levinas. According to him war is not only a traumatic historical event, but also a peculiar ontological state resulting from the peculiar way of thinking of Europeans. He considers how war is connected with the notions of whole, identity, and objectivity, why history is at fault, and why the only solution is eschatology, which challenges individuals and calls them to responsibility. The relationship between war and morality is at the center of the thought of Levinas. He sensitizes the reader to the fact that war is always a latent possibility, a constant hidden threat, always unexpected. War, as well as violence and force broadly understood, always change the world order, and with it accepted principles, rules, and values. It is an event that seeks to eliminate otherness, that tends to a uniform whole by leveling differences. Pluralism must give way to the totalizing aspirations of war.

The main aim of this study is to thoroughly analyse and explain the meaning of a crucial passage 35a1-b3 from Plato’s Timaeus. At first, two rival readings of the text are presented and critically examined. Since the first one, championed for example by Alfred Taylor, meets with some serious difficulties, the other one, which is able to evade them, is shown to be clearly preferable and serves as a basis for the author’s translation of the text. It is thus argued that, according to Plato, the Demiurge when creating the world-soul proceeds in two steps. First, he takes three of the “highest kinds” (namely Being, Sameness, and Otherness) both in their divisible and indivisible form and, mixing them, create intermediate Being, Sameness, and Otherness. Second, he mixes these three intermediate kinds. As a result, the soul occupies a special place in-between the eternal and immutable ideas and the ever-changing corporeal world. Moreover, it can cognize both these “worlds” as well as exert an influence upon the corporeal one. The soul thus appears to be a key invention of the Demiurge since it can maintain the order once imposed on the world by its creator.
