The paper concerns on G.W. F. Hegel’s philosophy of technology. By assuming two methodological strategies – reading selected paragraphs of Hegel’s texts where he speaks about technology and deducing the essence of technology as a concept – this paper describes the key ideas shaping the German idealist’s philosophy of technology. Three main issues are discussed: 1. the role Hegel assigns to the instrumental action of man; 2. the relation between tool production and culture as objectivisation of the human being; and 3. why technology is dialectical. The aim is therefore to show that Hegelian notions such as “mediation”, “cunning of reason”, and “dialectics”, were meant by Hegel himself to be used to think about technology, which is necessary to develop their full potential in contemporary discussions about technological progress, and to thus fill the gap in philosophy of technology caused by misinterpretations of Hegel as a pure idealist with no interest in technology.

The paper deals with the dialectical dimension of the dialogue De grammatico written by Anselm of Canterbury during his stay in the Abbey of Le Bec. This dialogue between the teacher and the student addresses the question: How Grammaticus is both a substance and a quality? In his work De veritate Anselm described the dialogue De grammatico as an introduction to dialectics. The paper tries to show how this Anselm’s dialogue could serve as an explanatory introduction (a textbook) to this liberal art. It seems that the main source of Anselm’s understanding of dialectics was six Boethius’s books called Commentaries to Cicero’s Topica. Therefore, the article presents basic characteristics of dialectics according to the above mentioned Boethius’s treatise (e.g. dialectics as inveniendi et iudicandi argumenti with the help of definitio, partitio and collectio; the description and components of an argument; the importance of the question in a dialectical disputation etc.), while the text of Anselm’s dialogue De grammatico is confronted with those Boethius’s theses.

Václav Černík (1931 – 2017) was one of the founders of the modern philosophy of science in Slovakia. This paper focuses on his lifelong project of founding a Marxist methodology of science based on a reconstruction of Marx’s Capital. The project had three main pillars: (1) a theory of a new type of scientific law, (2) dialectics as a theory of philosophical categories, and (3) a historical account of types of rationality. In the paper, we contextualize the various stages of the project: from Černík’s early works on scientific laws and thought experiments to his attempt at constructing a system of categories, as well as publications in methodology after 1989. Our critical assessment shows that Černík was the first who deal with certain topics in the Slovak context. His approach had also certain advantages vis-à-vis with other attempts at the time, especially due to the author’s open-minded attitude to modern logic and Western philosophy of science. On the other hand, the project was never finished and it left a number of characteristic problems unsolved (e.g., the nature of dialectical contradictions, difficulties with using logical instruments to formulate philosophical intuitions).

EPIC OR TRAGEDY? KARL MARX AND POETIC FORM IN THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO

Although The Communist Manifesto of 1848 was clearly not intended as a work of poetry, this article considers the merits of reading it according to the aesthetic criteria of epic poetry and of tragedy respectively. Following a brief treatment of the role of poetry in Karl Marx’s evolution as a philosopher and critic, the article then speculates that the identification of certain poetic themes in the text can aid our understanding of the Manifesto’s political meaning, particularly in light of the “dialectical Prometheanism” that played such a defining role in Marx’s intellectual and political universe.

Teacher's professionalism is a problem in which the question of responsibility is crutial. Because different contexts of considering this professionalism constitute his different meanings, they also constitute different understandings of teacher's responsibility. Those differences create dialectics, in which so called base sense of professionalism with its definition of material and formal responsibility (notion of H.Jonas) is being negated (in a hegelian sense), by neoliberal sense of professionalism, which is characterised, by reduction of teacher's responsibility to its formal aspect. Negation (Aufhebung) of this neoliberal sense is consequence of the dialectic logic, which we have to consider. Especially because it constitutes thinking as a matter of teacher's material responsibility.

The article is about the Hegelian interpretation of the philosophy of Heraclitus. The first part of article demonstrates, in sixteen points, the meaning of Heraclitus’s dialectics. The second part of article shows this view in Hegel’s conception of actuality, at the end of “The Objective Logic”. The third part deals with the introduction to The Phenomenology of Spirit. The article will demonstrate and explain the crucial categories that are connected with the question of becoming. It will also show the connection between the Heraclitean intuition of change and Hegel’s view on philosophy as a whole.

My paper follows the discussion opened by Jon Stewart’s recent book on Hegel’s concept of alienation and its influence on nineteenth-century thought, specifically in the chapter devoted to the concept of alienation in S. Kierkegaard. To begin the article, before I get to the central problem I will try to classify two basic types of alienation we can encounter in the whole of Kierkegaard’s work: the religious (or universal) alienation of the Christian from the world and the existential alienation of man from himself: despair. The core of the study is devoted to an analysis of Kierkegaard’s concept of despair, which Kierkegaard understands as one of the basic structural moments of human subjectivity. Here I will focus particularly on portraying and analysing the spiritual and dialectical nature of despair. My main intention, however, will be to interpret despair as a fundamental form of the self-alienated self. For despair expresses a state of existence in which the self is not oneself, a state in which the self seems to be separated from its own true self. This interpretation of mine corresponds to Stewart’s view in its basic features. At the end of the paper I will attempt to outline my own understanding of despair as self-alienation within the broader dialectics of existence in Kierkegaard, using the Hegelian model of dialectics.

The Construction of Hegel's Philosophy of Law

Contemporary philosophy of law often relies on the heritage of the classical German philosophy. This is connected with the decline of the traditional positivistic model of law as a collection of rules established and executed by a sovereign. The main issue behind that change - universality of norms in the contemporary philosophy of law - has its roots in Hegel's thought and his theory of intersubjectivity. That is why the interpretation of this theory is highly important for questions concerning the possibility of reconstruction of such philosophy of law which would permit the inclusion of a formally procedural model of law as something original vis-a-vis every possible material legal order, and whose content would emerge from its form (Inhalt aus der Form). In this context the leading motif of the article is a critique of Manfred Riedel's reconstruction of Hegel's theory of intersubjectivity. Riedel reduces the Hegelian concept of intersubjectivity to the dimensions of emancipation and socialization processes. He neglects thereby the fact that Hegel's theory also has a strong onto-political dimension which makes 'the ethical life' possible.

REDUCTIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE PROBLEM OF A THIRD WAY (Redukcje swiadomosci i problem trzeciej drogi)

The leading idea of the article is defined by a quotation from Fichte concerning the opposition between idealism and 'dogmatism', or naturalism. That opposition is interpreted as a result of two alternative 'reductions of consciousness': according to the first, or the idealistic one, it is possible to reduce the world to consciousness (or to its 'constituted correlate', to a pure phenomenon), while according to the second, the naturalistic one, it is possible to reduce consciousness to the world conceived as a material whole of particles and physical laws. The logics of the idealistic reduction is developed on the example of Husserlian 'pure phenomenology'; this of the naturalistic one is illustrated by the proposals of Paul Churchland and John Searle. The reconstruction of the two alternative modes of reductions aims at revealing their symmetry and, also, the insufficiency of either of them. In the last paragraph, the possibility of a 'third way' between idealism and naturalism is briefly examined (on the examples of several, both classical and contemporary, 'continental' and 'analytical' ideas), but the conclusions are skeptical.

The paper aims at analysis of 'the dialectic of the Enlightenment thought'. It tries to answer the question, why many positive and constructive ideas used by societies to explain the world, and especially the social reality, often become unchangeable stereotype dogmas. The author draws on 'The Dialectic of the Enlightenment' by T. W. Adorno and M. Horkheimer, trying to apply their principal thesis on the results of contemporary social-philosophical analyses, represented mainly by the writings of N. Fraser and A. Honeth. He also introduces various aspects of civilisation analysis (J. P. Arnason), as in considering social problematic the globalization has to be taken into account as well.

„Refleksje w zawieszeniu” – źródła i początki myśli Władysława Stróżewskiego

The article discusses a series of nine short essays by Władysław Stróżewski published at the beginning of the 70s in the “Znak” monthly. They all revolve around anthropological and axiological issues, and they all follow a similar framework: the author begins with a question or a problem, e.g., the choice of values, situational involvement, freedom and limitation, faith, despair and hope, and shows how through a dialectical search and inner transformations a new perspective opens up onto the Absolute. Similar themes can also be found in Stróżewski’s later works. Even the use of the dialectical method reappears in his book Dialektyka twórczości (Dialectics of Creativity). The questions of the meaning of reality, the logos, and faith all continually make their mark throughout his oeuvre. All these themes, together with those absent from “Suspended Thoughts”, i.e. art and beauty, reappear in the extensive interview published in 2017, Miłość i nicość (Love and Nothingness).
