Philosophy nurtures its actuality from questions, or a call that comes from and leads to a lived risk. This paper embraces that risk in directly responding to nine of the fifteen questions in the Call for Papers for the issue, Philosophy as a Way of Life in a Time of Crisis. Attentive to the idea of PWL, I listened for each question’s latent (or manifest) placement from seasoned historical thinkers. From that, I assigned the order of the questions. Each question served as a bright opening between the latticework of the authors and issues I revisited. I felt transformed and happy under this pergola. Philosophy as a way of life flourishes in such exchanges, and by what ferries from who writes, nurtured in the gardens from whom we write for. Here, too, there are paths to a genre-in-possible-community. May these paths lead us to “everything so that virtue and phronesis are made life-participating.”

Betwixt and Between: The Letter of James and the Human Condition

James’s letter does not concern itself with the nature of humanity in the abstract. His message regarding the trials of Jewish messianists distributed outside the land of the Jews leads him rather to explore the perplexing paradox of the human predicament-called to faithful life patterns, to love of God and neighbor, on the one hand, overwhelmed by craving and sin, on the other hand. This undergirds a profound analysis of the human condition as well as its remedy in God’s true word.

In the present paper an interpretation of the political dimension of pragmatic aesthetic reflection is proposed. The interconnection between politics and aesthetics in three classic American pragmatists: William James (1842–1910), John Dewey (1859–1952), and George Herbert Mead (1863–1931) is evoked. The author claims that by emphasizing the role of democratic values in philosophy and life, the classic American pragmatists encroach upon the field of the arts and aesthetics. Their emphasis put upon individual activity, free expression of thoughts, plurality of the forms of expression, and acceptance of criticism as a tool helping create better solutions in human cooperation can easily be converted into the postulates about the character of the artistic principles and of the nature of the aesthetic norms and values.

Podwójnie narodzeni. Na marginesie „Nieciekawej historii” Antoniego Czechowa

Die Autorin polemisiert gegen die These von Leo Schestow, der Anton Tschechow einen „Apologeten der Hoffnungslosigkeit“ nannte, indem sie auf seine Philosophie des Hu-mors sowohl in der Form als auch im Inhalt der Werke hinweist. Eine Exemplifizierung dieser Philosophie ist die kontrapunktische Struktur der Erzählung Langweilige Geschichte mit deren Hauptfrage „Was tun?“. Die Verfasserin schlägt eine andere Erklärung für die von Schestow angenommene Kategorie des „Schaffens aus dem Nichts“ vor. Sie bezieht sich auf die Philosophie von William James (besonders auf seine Begriffe der Doppeltge-borenen und des Rechtes auf den Glauben), die entsprechende Kategorien für die Diag-nose der Melancholie bei den Figuren Tschechows liefert. Am Ende stellt die Autorin mit Bezug auf Thomas Mann fest, dass die Antwort auf die Frage „Was tun?“ bei Tschechow eine Betätigung voller Hingabe ist.

Author polemicizes with Lev Shestov who called Anthon Chekhov “a poet of hopeless-ness,” indicating Chekhov’s philosophy of humour inherent in the form and content of his works. This philosophy is well exemplified in the contrapuntal narrative structure of his “A Boring Story,” the story whose main concern is the question: “What to do?” Anna Głąb offers an alternative to Shestov’s category of “creation from the void,” referring to the philosophy of William James (especially the concepts of the twice-born and the will to believe), which provides adequate categories for the diagnosis of Chekhov’s melan-choly heroes. Finally, after Thomas Mann, the author states that Chekhov’s response to the question “What to do?” is commitment through work.
PL
Autorka polemizuje z tezą Lwa Szestowa, który nazwał Antoniego Czechowa „piewcą beznadziejności”, poprzez wskazanie na jego filozofię humoru ujawniającą się w formie, jak i treści jego utworów. Egzemplifikacją tej filozofii jest kontrapunktyczna struktura opowiadania Nieciekawa historia, w którym głównym pytaniem jest: „co robić?”. Autorka proponuje inne wyjaśnienie dla przyjętej przez Szestowa kategorii „twórczości z niczego”, odwołując się do filozofii Williama Jamesa (szczególnie do pojęcia podwójnie narodzonych i prawa do wiary), która dostarcza adekwatnych kategorii do zdiagnozowania melancholii bohaterów Czechowa. Na koniec, za Tomaszem Mannem autorka stwierdza, że odpowiedzią Czechowa na pytanie, „co robić?”, jest zaangażowanie poprzez pracę.

For most of human history, human knowledge was considered to be something that was stored and captured by words. This began to change when Galileo said that the book of nature is written in the language of mathematics. Today, Dan Dennett and many others argue that all genuine scientific knowledge is in the form of mathematical algorithms. However, recently discovered neurocomputational algorithms can be used to justify the claim that there is genuine knowledge which is non-algorithmic. The fact that these algorithms use prototype deployment, rather than mathematics or logic, gives us good reason to believe that there is a kind of knowledge that we derive from stories that is different from our knowledge of algorithms. Even though we would need algorithms to build a system that can make sense out of stories, we do not need to use algorithms when we ourselves embody a system that learns from stories. The success of the Galilean perspective in the physical sciences has often resulted in an attempt to mathematize the humanities. I am arguing that the dynamic neurocomputational perspective can give us a better understanding of how we get knowledge and wisdom from the stories told by disciplines such as Literature, History, Anthropology and Theology. This new neurological data can be used to justify the traditional pedagogy of these disciplines, which originally stressed the telling of stories rather than the learning of algorithms.
