The aim of this article is to present the main characteristics of the philosophy of Vladimir Tardy (1906-1987), professor at Charles University, drawing on his unpublished manuscripts from the 1940’s to the 1970’s. Tardy takes as his point of departure the assumption that the external world really exists and that it is knowable by the methods of critical analysis. His philosophy is close to scientism, but not identical with it. In the area of metaphysics it offers a monistic conception of a developing universe, constituted by matter, the structural arrangement of which is connected to the quality of experience in living and non-living nature. The most complex known structure is the brain which is the bearer of human consciousness. Tardy’s philosophy is above all a valuable witness to its time. Among its more timeless aspects are its reflections on the relation between the general and the particular, between mind and the brain, and on the basis of mathematical ideas, as well as it psychological analysis of the personalities of some influential philosophers.

The politics of multiculturalism today raises scepticism not only among ordinary people, but also of the European political class. In times of crisis it offers an excuse for various hasty and often outrageous decisions. The proposition of French President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2010 concerning the mass deportations of Romani people residing in France is certainly one of them. Yet, this problem cannot be simply reduced to a particular, more or less reasonable political decisions neither result merely from current situation. The crisis is also closely related to the conditions of contemporary political practice and the shape of the public sphere. This article aims to shed some light on this issue in terms of H. Arendt’s philosophy. We examine the possibility of multiculturalism in a society subjected to the forces of science, capitalism, and the doctrine of the Rights of Man. We assume that where politics ceases to be a living practice based on dialogue and confrontation of diversities, and grounds itself in the realm of necessities, a peaceful multiculturalism becomes simply impossible.

In the mainstream of contemporary discussion about relation between democracy and philosophy binds the principle, that the duty of proof of own position concerns only the philosophers (that the democrats have some privilege in this field). I think, that the principle hasn't got strong rational ground. Its importance stems rather from strength of the anti-philosophical, democratic Zeitgeist. Ideological diversity is in a democracy less spontaneous and thereby more frail, than in the other systems of government. A democracy has a considerable inclination to discrimination different - than democratic - ideas, opinions and experiences. Hence it needs a philosophy as an antidote for this inclination. The position, that philosophical reason in essentially inadequate to politics, often ignores vital difference between classical and rationalistic theory of knowledge. Besides the position disregards the fact, that the nominalist conversion in the intellectual tradition of West seems not final sentence of history.

French philosopher Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) is best known as the co-founder of modern hermeneutics. Under this framework, he developed a practical philosophy (theory of action). Its applications can be found in his attitude to public and civic issues (e.g. expressed in skepticism to the course of events in May 1968 or protests against the worsening social inequalities), where there was always a religious theme, resulting from a strong Christian faith rooted in the Protestant profile. Ricoeur differentiated politics as classically understood politics as a space for joint action within a framework of policies rather than more contemporary views, where it is associated with gaining and securing power. He pointed to the need for dialogue and negotiations between the government and the social partners, trade unions and political adversaries. Political activity becomes similar to practical wisdom.

Contrary to common opinion, philosophy’s relations with the comic are profound and complex, yet the nature and significance of this relationship is surprisingly under studied. I have found that the relations that philosophy entertains with the comic can be conceptualized in ten traditions, eight dating from antiquity and two from modern and postmodern times. I trace these traditions from antiquity through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and modern times. I explain how the view that philosophy is inimical to the comic originated and invite the reader to re-evaluate philosophy’s attitude towards the comic.

The article is an attempt at an interdisciplinary look at time. The concept of time is equivocal, and thus interpreted differently by various sciences. The presentation of time issue starts with the domain of economics, by describing time by means of using economic categories such as market, supply, demand, value, price, profit and loss. The economic analysis is concentrated around a question how much time costs, and how much free time costs. Further on the issue is presented from a philosophical perspective, followed by theological concepts of time. They all are linked by a reference to Christian understanding of time based on the person of Jesus Christ, who became “the fullness of time” and the centre of the history. The interdisciplinary analysis enables looking at time as an assignment, the taking of which by a man in his earthly life makes him open to the eternity.

The paper surveys intertextual aspects of Bolesław Leśmian’s ballad Dziewczyna across translations into English and Russian (translation series), as well as Czech and German (single renditions). Thematic intertextuality connected with the fairy-tale convention and specific references to philosophical concepts (Descartes, Kant) are discussed. Dialogic relations absent from the original but activated in translations are also indicated (e.g. a Biblical context). The following aspects influencing the rendition of dialogic signals are considered important: metrical restrictions, the unwieldiness of the canonic formulation of intertexts for poetic appropriation, the skill and worldviews of the translators. Thanks to the numerous translations of the ballad, we can ascertain whether awareness and prioritizing of referential qualities change with time, target culture and the translators’ backgrounds.

In the last two decades, the question of religion has become a central concern of many philosophers belonging to the Continental philosophical tradition. As the interest in religion has grown within Continental philosophy, so also has the question of Martin Heidegger’s relationship with religion. This paper poses the question of what religion meant to Martin Heidegger in the development of phenomenology as ontology; how he preconceived the notion of religion and why he eventually denied any authenticity to religion. In engaging with this question, the paper will also attempt to disclose some delimitations of Heidegger’s approach to religion.

Al-Munāǧāt in its two extant versions belongs to the shortest writings of Šihāb ad-Dīn Yaḥyà as-Suhrawardī (1154-1191), the founder of Illuminationist school of Islamic philosophy. The article aims at analyzing the philosophical terminology that this prayer is composed of. It demonstrates how much the terminology agrees with that used in his other works and how the prayer combines some major elements of the thought of As-Suhrawardī in a very concise form. All it is done based on the critical edition of the text as well as Polish translation by the author.

This paper deals with Parmenides of Elea’s way of inquiry about reality and the opposition emerging from it. In more detail, it analyses how Parmenides’ concepts of logos and doxa present some analogies with Bergson’s thoughts about duration and Time and how these theories influenced the understanding of visual media, especially the cinematographic camera. This survey will allow us to demonstrate that some scientific theories about space that accompanied the development of the cinematographic camera progressively allowed for the birth of a new understanding of this device. In the last section of this study, we will then focus on the way through which the film camera - understood as an intelligent device - passes from the sphere of doxa to the sphere of logos.

In history, philosophy, language, and literature have been a propelling force towards achieving a distinctive cul-ture in human civilization. We are therefore reminded that philosophy, language, and literature have a great deal of educational tenet, especially in the African world view. To foster holistic values in line with education, this study investigates that philosophy; language and literature have been in the transformation of armchair theoriza-tion of various disciplines into a pragmatic solution for our contemporary challenges. Using evaluative approach, this study opens up the fact that philosophy, language, and literature is not really a single filed of disciplines but rather a catchall for a number of problems whose scope and significance are so broad that they seem to have im-plication for virtually every other sphere of human endeavors. Philosophy, Africa, Language, Literature, and Education Z perspektywy historii, filozofia, język i literatura stanowią siłę napędową w kierunku osiągnięcia wysokiego poziomu kultury ludzkiej cywilizacji. Filozofia, język i literatura mają wiele dogmatów edukacyjnych, szczególnie w świetle perspektywy afrykańskiej. W celu promowania wartości holistycznych zgodnie z edukacją, w niniejszym artykule zbadano czy filozofia, język i literatura wpływają na pragmatyczne rozwiązanie współczesnych wyzwań. Wykorzystując podejście ewaluacyjne, niniejsze badanie ujawnia fakt, że filozofia, język i literatura nie są tak naprawdę zbiorem dyscyplin, ale raczej zaporą dla wielu problemów, których zakres i znaczenie są tak szerokie, że wydają się mieć wpływ na praktycznie każdą sferę ludzkiego życia. filozofia, Afryka, język, literatura i edukacja

Over the centuries, Cleopatra VII, the famous queen of the Nile, has uttered thousands of amorous sentences in countless dramas, poems, novels, librettos and films. Historians, writers and artists of all periods, selecting the Egyptian monarch as the “hero” of their works, referred, and still continue to do so, primarily to the Life of Antony by a great Greek philosopher and moralist - Plutarch of Chaeronea. It might seem that it was Plutarch who presented Cleopatra a woman overcome with genuine passionate love. But does the queen in the Plutarch’s work really, even for a moment, experience the true agony of love? The problem with this is that if we reject the Shakespearean prism through which we used to view Cleopatra created by Plutarch and we analyse the Life of Antony exclusively in the context of other works of the moralist from Chaeronea, we will not perceive an Egyptian Dido cursing her lover and dying of love. It is a delusion that in the final parts of the Life of Antony, the monarch’s previously feigned or perhaps concealed love for the Roman commander is manifested as true – as is stated by many researchers identifying in Plutarch’s work the specific elements of romance in which the lovers’ feelings are reciprocated.

In order to lay the ground for the construction of a philosophy of culture the origin, meaning and some of the implications of the word „culture" are examined and discussed in light of a working definition of the anthropological concept of culture taken from C. Dawson. In Section II another concept of culture is examined, based on the idea of culture as human perfection. Then in Section III the concept of cultural levels is introduced, that is, the differing levels at which the central concept of a culture can be understood or embodied.

Each phenomenon contains variable components, which are conservative. Because of their conservation, they accumulate. Present phenomena contain constituents of phenomena, belonging to the past which form the present and the future, and their dependence on time is an exponential one - S = Sₒe^t-tᵖ (S is a variable component, is a moment in the past). We assume that before and after tₒ = t-tᵖ = 0 the change pertains to phenomena of one type. The dependency is for each defined phenomenon of one and the same type (for its characteristics). The concrete aspect of the change S will depend on the type of the phenomenon. We show in our study how in some cosmological phenomena, the exponential dependence on time is present. The processes of radioactive disintegration of atomic nuclei, are also phenomena of this type. We present the real phenomena as a sum of exponents. Each phenomenon originates, develops and is destroyed. In reality most phenomena are formed as a composition of exponential dependencies of the change (of its characteristics).
