The aim of the article is to present and analyse the usage of the lexeme det, which is one of the most frequent lexemes in Danish. Depending on the context, the lexeme in question can represent different word-classes and can among others appear as a personal or demonstrative pronoun or as a definite article. Det can also have several syntactic functions, as it can occur in Danish as a sentence’sformal subject, object or predicative. The author of the article seeks to describe this “little” word’s different functions and meanings as well as its usage in various syntactic constructions. The article also contains some reflections on the differences and similarities between det and der, in some cases a quite similar Danish lexeme.

In this article the author discusses Peter A. Redpath’s understanding of the nature of philosophy and his account of how erroneous understandings of philosophy have led to the decline of the West and to the separation of philosophy from modern science and modern science from wisdom. Following Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas, Redpath argues that philosophy is a sense realism because it begins in wonder about real things known through the senses. Philosophy presupposes pre-philosophical knowledge, common sense, which consists of principles rooted in sensation that make human experience, sense wonder, and philosophy possible. Philosophy is certain knowledge demonstrated through causes and thus philosophy is the same as science. Redpath understands science as a habit that we acquire through repeated practice. More precisely, a scientific habit is a simple quality of the intellect that enables us to demonstrate (prove) the necessary properties of a genus through their causes or principles. In this way, science is the study of the one and the many. Redpath argues that metaphysics is the final cause of the arts and sciences, providing the foundation for all of the arts and sciences and justifying their principles. Finally, he argues that with modernity’s loss of belief in God and its rejection of metaphysics as a science, utopian socialism has become an historical/political substitute for metaphysics.
