Stefan Swiezawski was above all a historian of philosophy, a medievalist and a philosopher interested primarily in metaphysics, but also in methodology. In his 'History of European Philosophy of the 15th century' he discussed various opposing intellectual tendencies, primarily the two dominating trends of the time: scholasticism (theocentrism) and humanism (anthropocentrism). He described the beginning of the process that would lead to the collapse of metaphysical realism. It must be emphasised, however, that he was interested not only in the currents of 15th-century thought, but also in the culture of the entire epoch in all its variety and richness. Swiezawski also tried to contribute to a better and fuller description of historiography, in particular the historiography of philosophy. He emphasised taking into account all possible historical conditions that influenced a particular author. He underlined the importance of careful analysis of texts with particular reference to the philosophical problems discussed. As a philosopher, he was interested in realistic metaphysics, which, in his opinion, was best suited to human needs for truth, the understanding of origins, completeness, ultimate ends and meaning (in an existential, rather than linguistic, sense). He criticised Thomism in its various forms, while also attempting to rehabilitate what he saw as the true thought and significance of Thomas Aquinas.

The philosopher and theologian, Samuel Stefan Osusky (1888 -1975), who was an exceptional personality among the anti-philosophically oriented protestant theologians, underlined the importance of the rational attitude in the philosophical investigations of the fundamental problems. His researches in the history of philosophy (including Slovak philosophy) were continuous: he was a sort of a 'founding father' of this discipline in Slovakia. His study of rich original sources, in which the method applied was that of positivism, resulted in publication of several articles and books devoted to the intellectual situation in Slovakia from 16th to 19th century, in particular to 'national idealism': 'Filozofia sturovcov' (The Philosophy of Stur and His Followers; 1928 1932), as well as his 'Prve slovenske dejiny filozofie' (The First Slovak History of Philosophy; 1939), the first and path-breaking book in this field in Slovakia.

WHAT MAKES A SIMILARITY SUPERFICIAL? AN EXERCISE IN THE METHODOLOGY OF THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY

The essay reports on the author’s attempts to demonstrate similarities between prima facie divergent thinkers. Objections to this attempt have often concerned the question of the “superficiality” of the similarities noted. The paper examines these objections and proposes an understanding of the relevant concept of superficiality as a consequence of what Alan Nelson called “systematic interpretation”. Subsequently, Nelson’s view is challenged, and thus a space is opened up for a history of philosophy focused more on the similarities between different thinkers than on the supposed uniqueness and incomparability of their thought.

Władysław Tatarkiewicz (1886–1980) was a versatile scholar, active and fertile in a number of fields: Philosophy, History of Philosophy, Ethics, Aesthetics, and also History of Architecture. Before World War One, Tatarkiewicz studied Philosophy in Berlin and in Marbourg with H. Cohen and P. Natorp. After the Great War, he was nominated Professor of Philosophy at the newly reorganized Warsaw University. In the area of History of Philosophy, his key accomplishments included his studies of Polish philosophical thought, and also a history of European philosophy before 1830, which he published in two volumes entitled ‘History of Philosophy’. After World War Two, Tatarkiewicz expanded the scope of the work to include 19t century and contemporary philosophy, publishing the third volume of his History in 1948. Tatarkiewicz’s History of Philosophy became very popular with readers, and saw no less than twenty four editions until 2004. There were a number of reasons for this popularity. One of Tatarkiewicz’s important tasks was the standardization of philosophical terminology in the Polish language and he succeeded admirably. The elegance of his writing style, clarity and order in the exposition of issues and concepts, made his work exceptionally useful for teaching; Tatarkiewicz provided his readers with an orderly picture of history of philosophy and motivated them for further studies. To his merit, Tatarkiewicz also included discussion of important results of the medieval philosophy in Poland. Another important facet contributing to the long-lasting popularity of his oeuvre were the ideological conditions that reigned in Poland after World War Two, a time marked by a promoting of different philosophical language and new research methods. In the paper, the author presents a critical assessment of the contemporary value of Tatarkiewicz’s magnum opus. Even though History has become over the years a monument to crisp style and clear exposition, the work shows its age, as its scope corresponds to the state of research in the 1920’s (in the first two volumes) and in the late 1940’s (in the third volume). In view of this, the author calls for starting a collective and (no doubt multi-year) effort on a new history of philosophy in Polish language, work that would include the research in the field since 1945.

The article reviews approaches to assessment of the Soviet philosophy in the Anglo-American philosophical texts. The author defines the periods of the evolution of the Western (mostly Anglo-American) scholars' views on the Soviet philosophy, namely: 1) views between the World Wars; 2) views during the Cold War; and 3) contemporary ones. During the first period, the Soviet philosophy was viewed as integral part of the European thought. The political aspect was visible here, but it was not a dominant one. During the second period, the Soviet philosophy was estranged from the European philosophy because of difference of political and ideological values. The Western view on the Soviet philosophy was founded upon Bochenski's ideas, which promoted the Thomistic negligence of the Soviet secular thought and its institutional frameworks. The third period started with Perestroika in the USSR and de-ideologization of the Western studies of the Soviet philosophy. Philosophers of that period recognized multitude of thoughts and trends in philosophy of the USSR. Finally, showing the process of 're-discovery' of the Soviet philosophy in the West, the author proves the idea that there are no reasons to limit studies of the Soviet philosophy with the frames of history of the Soviet Marxism.

The aim of the article is to discuss Hans-Georg Gadamer’s and Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutic way of understanding the history of philosophy. I assume that hermeneutic reference to philosophical past appears as a unique dialogue with tradition, whereas their way of understanding the history of philosophy might be defined as “hermeneutic interpretation of tradition.” In order to show what its indicators are, I characterize the conception of hermeneutic experience (H.-G. Gadamer) as well as the issue of the interpretation process (P. Ricoeur). Those thinkers are convinced that understanding of the history of philosophy involves the recognition of our own historicity.

The study uses a wide range of sources to uncover the spread of the ideas of Immanuel Kant outside philosophical circles in the Slovak part of the Kingdom of Hungary. The flow of philosophical ideas is shown not only by the works of Kantians in Hungary, but also by censorship records of the importing of Kantian texts in the 1790s. Critical debate in correspondence and in published texts uncovers anti-Kantian arguments. Information about the propagation and multiplication of Kant’s works give an idea of their popularity. Research into memoirs sheds light on how philosophical messages circulated in private communication networks, reaching beyond the philosophical and educational sphere, in spite of bans and repression.

In the interview entitled 'The prospects of research on Polish philosophical thought', professor Stanislaw Borzym, head of the department of modern and contemporary philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Science, speaks about the place of Polish philosophy in the scientific and intellectual life of Europe. He points out the importance of national self-knowledge, for which the construction of an ambitious educational program is indispensable, taking into account both philosophical research carried out in the world in general and native philosophy. According to him, there are three levels of research: history of philosophy sensu stricto, the history of ideas with a predominant philosophical factor and philosophical history without this factor. In his opinion the following problems can turn out to be important for Polish philosophical thought: calling more careful attention to axiological issues on the border of philosophical and political thought, research about the philosophical ambitions of Polish scientists and scholars, as well as the relation between outlook on life and philosophical convictions in the works of Polish writers, poets, and people of the arts. All of this must happen in an intellectual atmosphere of freedom and responsibility for the task entrusted to philosophers.

The purpose of this article is to show the main trends in philosophy that influenced Władyslaw Tatarkiewicz’s science research, with special consideration of neo-Kantianism (the Marburg and the Baden Schools). Władysław Tatarkiewicz, one of the most significant polish historians of philosophy, rarely made comments on his preferred methods and on his concept of history of philosophy. Nevertheless, many of the methodological issues raised by Tatarkiewicz are focused on the problem of historical synthesis, at which the historian is obliged to make specific assessment concerning the subject matter of the research. Tatarkiewicz’s position on historiography indicates its relationship with remaining humanistic disciplines.

The paper outlines the basic principles of Hans Blumenberg’s metaphorology conceived as an alternative to the traditional history of philosophy. Attention is paid to his contribution to grasping the reality philosophically by the way of metaphor i.e. non-conceptually. Added is the translation of the 1st chapter of his Paradigms for a Metaphorology in which he formulated the crucial question: On what conditions could metaphors have a legitimate place in the philosophical language?

In a philosopher's biography, in his creative personality, as in a 'mental prism', refraction and transformation of many various factors connected with his situation and cultural conditions take place. A philosophical work is the final and objective result of this process. This integral connection between a philosopher's personality and his work was noticed and taken under consideration long ago. Numerous tendencies that have appeared during the last fifty years try to break it. Once inspired by structuralism, they are nowadays inspired by deconstruction and have met with much success. They have led to the writing of 'history of philosophy without philosophers'. The present article arises from the need to rehabilitate the biographical method in philosophy.The author believes that the philosopher as a person stands behind his system and he wants to restore the connection - severed by the contemporary humanities - between a work and its author.

The paper offers a description of the philosophical systems of two Neothomists of the late 19th century: Lajos Franciscy and Ede Mihalovics, drawing on their contributions published in the journal 'Bolcseleti Folyoirat'. Prevailing in Franciscy are ethical and psychological works, while Mihalovics focused mainly on epistemology and the relationships between philosophy and theology. The texts presented are the evidence of their belonging to the 2nd and 3rd lines of Neothomist authors of that time in Hungary.

Beginning with a consideration of one of the central methodological issues in contemporary Kierkegaard scholarship, this paper goes on to suggest that the tradition of reading Kierkegaard as a philosopher, or in the terms of philosophy, is a tradition of aestheticism. Calling upon the distinguishing features of the aesthete found in the work of Anthony Rudd and Patrick Stokes, the author argues that the tradition of reading Kierkegaard as a philosopher has these same features; and so can be said to be a tradition of aestheticism. The paper goes on to make this case in detail with respect to Rudd’s book Kierkegaard and the Limits of the Ethical and Stokes’ Kierkegaard’s Mirrors.

The article underlines the importance of the study of the school philosophy in the 19th century Hungary. The school philosophy is conceived not only as a part of educational system, but also as the existential basis in the making of national philosophies in Hungary, especially the Hungarian and Slovak ones. Also two different approaches are discussed to making and development of Slovak and Hungarian philosophies as formulated by O. Mészáros and V. Bakoš.

The article concerns some little-known facts in the history of Polish philosophy regarding the reception of the work of Schelling in Poland (or more correctly, in Galicia, because the country was then still under the partitions). The copious work of the German Romantic philosopher aroused the interest of Marian Zdziechowski (1861-1938), the Polish philologist, philosopher, religious thinker, and professor at the Jagiellonian University until the outbreak of World War II; and, more interestingly, it was understood by him. In his two-volume opus magnum Pessimism, romanticism and the foundations of Christianity (Krakow 1914), Zdziechowski devoted much space to Schelling, not only by interpreting him in the context of Romantic thought, but above all, by seeing him as a philosopher who anticipated the issues and problems faced by the renewal movement within the Catholic Church known as "religious modernism." Recalling Zdziechowski’s position a hundred years ago can thus be considered part of the contemporary reception of the thought of Schelling.

In the seventeenth century the comprehension of historic time refers to two ordering ideas: the declining idea of renaissance and the increasing cumulation idea. These ideas also affect the comprehension of a role which the history of philosophy is supposed to play in the system of knowledge and its historical development. The seventeenth-century conceptions of the history of philosophy are also influenced by some contemporary ideals of philosophical knowledge. In the article two such ideals are presented—the erudite school and Cartesian rationalism as well as their consequences which deal with understanding of philosophical tasks of the history of philosophy.

The aim of this paper is to assess the authenticity of two Arabic commentaries on the Pythagorean Golden Verses attributed to Iamblichus and Proclus and unpreserved in Greek original. First, the Greek, Latin and Arabic traditions potentially referring to such a text are discussed. Second, the structure and the philosophical content of the commentaries are analysed, their key loci being compared to Greek works commenting on the poem. As a result, Pseudo-Iamblichus’s commentary turns out to be written or compiled by an author who did not have access to the Greek text of the poem and must have composed his text in Arabic. As for Pseudo-Proclus’s commentary, it seems to be a real translation of the Greek text, its authorship can tentatively be attributed to Proclus or another late antique Platonist. Both texts turn out to be very good examples of what the medieval Graeco-Arabic translation movement really was.

The article discusses the important lessons that flow from the study of the way of philosophizing by Władysław Tatarkiewicz. Based on the study of his multi-scientific achievements, the author has selected several core philosophical teachings, which in his opinion, should consider adopting today: 1 The primary task of philosophy is to organize concepts shaping the image of the world. 2nd Order and clarity of thought are achieved by using the method of semantic-historical analysis. 3rd The need for order and clarity leads to the history of philosophy, exploring the origin and evolution of concepts. 4th Philosophy is not yet a personal belief of man. 5th Organizing the world picture has axiological sense. 6th The most difficult issues arise in the theories of the middle range in the space between the general and very detailed, specified scientific studies. 7th The duty of the philosopher is to be interested in the history of native (Polish) philosophy.

WHAT WOULD SAY HERACLITUS TO PARMENIDUS? (Scho skazav by Heraklit Parmenidovi?)

Dialogic approach to the history of philosophy demonstrates discursive return to several fundamental ideas that contradict one another. The art of a philosopher turns the ideas into concepts that either reproduce or assemble certain senses into something universal. The concepts are subjective to the limit, and they change an individual who thinks something over: they are not ready waiting, they must be created, and they are nothing without the 'creator's signature'. This turns a philosophy historian into a co-creator of texts. Reconstruction of philosophic concepts from this point of view shows, that a very interesting dialogue between Heraclitus and Parmenidus could have taken place. From the standpoint of regarding philosophy as the history of problems the fact is significant, that the concepts, created by them, are the examples (ways) of overcoming primary non-ruggedness of creative and conceptual thinking together with witnessing of their non-reduction towards images. Parmenidus was among the first ones to propose an idea of logical evidence, separating mind from conjecture, as well as logical thinking from the creatively sensual one, having formulated principles of identity and non-contradiction. Heraclitus gave attention to phenomenal existence, which is always in an uninterrupted and contradictory movement of establishment, owing to that it harmonizes contradictions in fleeting identities. In that thought, Hegel perceived the first certain definition of establishment, which is, at the same time, the first authentic definition of a thought, like the beginning of philosophy was seen in 'existence exists, non-existence does not exist' of Parmenidus.
