The subject of the paper is the social function of the philosophy of nature. The author presents briefly his own position in this topic and gives an evaluation of the literature on the philosophy of nature in the last three decades or so. According to him, the opposition against the abusing of science for the tasks of social mystification stems mostly from the circles of the (philosophying) scientists themselves and the sociologists of knowledge. What concerns the academic philosophers - in spite of the variety of their ontological orientations - they are prone rather to cultivate the metaphilosophical mythology (of positivistic origins).

This contribution outlines several questions concerning the very paradigm of intersubjective recognition in post-Hegelian German philosophy in response to the work of Jon Stewart and Axel Honneth. It briefly traces, in conjunction with Stewart’s recent book on recognition, how discontent with this Hegelian paradigm, and its prioritization of spirit over nature, informed developments in nineteenth century materialism (Karl Marx) and panpsychism (Gustav Fechner, Eduard von Hartmann). While Marx analysed the political-economic and metabolic entanglement of humans and nature, the German panpsychic philosophers elucidated the bio-psychological interconnectedness of human and natural life. Both express forms of relation, developed in confrontation with Hegel, which are still inadequately addressed in recognition theory and contemporary critical social theory. Hegelian inspired thinkers, such as Honneth, continue to overly prioritize social second nature and reciprocal human recognition while marginalizing other asymmetrical relations that are crucial to humans living within animal, environmental, and material life.

The Paper shows the scientific views of Benedykt Dybowski based on his inaugural speech delivered in 1885, at The University of L'viv. It was a time of a stormy reception of the Darwin's theory of evolution, which was often considered as contradictory to the common view of man's place in universe, given mostly by religious and philosophical concepts. In that context, Dybowski as a well-known zoologist laid content of Darwin's idea in comparison with history of science. He pointed out some resemblance between the development of cosmogony and zoology, showing theory of evolution as a result of earlier evolutionary ideas and crystallization of the scientific method. Dybowski called for naturalism and eliminating all kind of supernatural factors in science, and world's phenomenon explanations, renouncing essentialism. As Dybowski was a great admirer of Darwin's theory, he was a science enthusiast as well, regarding it as a kind of an assignment and a vocation.

The early 20th century brought rapid changes in scientific and technological developments, politics, government and social behaviour, prompting a radical reassessment of art. Theoretical works by Voldemars Matvejs (1877-1914) - 'The Russian Secession' (1910), 'The Principles of New Art' (1912), 'The Principles of Creativity in Plastic Arts. Texture' (1914), 'The Art of the Easter Island' (1914), introduction to the selection of Chinese poetry 'Chinese Pipe' (1914) and 'Negro Art' (1919) - reflect all the peculiarities of the early 20th century modernism. The article aims to reveal the significance of several scientific discoveries and terms in the theoretical works of Matvejs and his contemporaries. The article begins with an examination of two sources that influenced Matvejs' worldview. This developed partly out of the philosophy of nature (Naturphilosophie) of the time, featuring naturalistic overtones partly related to the scientific examining of the human mind. Matvejs' notebooks contain the name of the German physiologist Max Verworn (1863-1921) who dealt with both experimental physiology and the psychology of art. Mysticism was of no lesser importance for Matvejs' theories that endowed every natural process with a mythical significance; in this respect he was hardly unique among the representatives of modernism. It is important to note that Matvejs was familiar with the German Neo-Kantian philosopher and historian Georg Mehlis' (1878-1942) work Formen der Mystik. The idea of 'origins' was related to nature and the effects of the forces of the outer (macro) world. However, it was equally important to find some elementary particle.
