The essay is an attempt to think about the problem of thinking and its status. We want to find out whether thinking – not a thinker! – can or cannot be proud of itself. What is thinking doing when it is thinking (about an idea)? What is thinking and where is the idea? We primarily focus on by what thinking is transformed and formed. The term “event” has been chosen for this task. Who has, however, seen the event? Is there any possibility to imagine experience or make the event present in any particular way? Can thinking, in a certain moment, adhere to an idea in such a way that it becomes the idea and that it occurs? And what happens with the idea when such an event occurs?

The study addresses the question of the extent to which Herder’s early philosophy of speech was influenced by the Platonic idea of anamnesis, namely in relation to the problem of the relationship between reason and speech. Is all speech grounded in sensibility, or does it also somehow reflect the apriority of reason? If the development of reason is tied to speech, which is the product of the specific living conditions of a particular speech community, can we still speak in any way of the universality of reason? Answers to these questions, however partial they may appear in the context of Herder’s early work, are sought in Herder’s early essay Fragments on Recent German Literature. Another of Herder’s early texts, “Plato said...”, is chosen as an interpretive starting point, which shows Herder’s inspiration for the concept of apriority in Leibniz and Mendelssohn.

The challenge to traditional theories of reference posed by experimental philosophers puts the focus on the question of diversity, cultural and linguistic, on the one hand, and cognitive (on intuitions), on the other. This allows for a connection between the problem of reference and the language-thought relation debate, and the linguistic relativity hypothesis conceived as the idea that linguistic diversity causes a correlative cognitive diversity. It is argued that the Kripkean view on proper names and natural kind terms is probably universal and that this empirical fact has plausible consequences for the universality of certain forms of human thought, but that there are nontrivial differences in the details of the workings of these expressions in different languages and that those differences influence the ways of thinking of speakers about individuals and kinds.

The paper deals with the problem of concept and image as independent forms of mediating the thought. A specific role in incorporating the media of concept and image into the system of thought is played by the mediality itself, which operates as an entity mediating between heterogeneous worlds. The symbolized messages of the concept and image thus represent using the dispositive of representation between the visual and intellectual worlds. The author takes the concept as the initial form of thought, which describes the object from the perspective of its being without making any propositions about it; the image, on the other hand, is taken as a sensory representation of the object. However, each of them is only a particular form of mediation. Representing a concept thus means taking the thought as a conceptual representation.

The paper discusses the concept of rule and its role in understanding and defining social facts. On the background of the main objections against Winch’s conception of rule as the necessary and sufficient means for identifying a social phenomenon (M. Hollis, J. Bohmann, M. Gilbert) it questions the analogy between the linguistic activity, the Wittgensteinian conception of meaning and conceiving of agency as a meaningful social activity.

In 1919, when his Logisch-Philosophische Abhandlung (Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus), was finished but still unpublished, Wittgenstein sent the manuscript to Frege, and, as a consequence of that, they exchanged several fairly polemic letters in 1919 – 1920. Only Frege’s letters were preserved. The letters are highly compressed in content, and offer an interesting insight in how, mostly critically, one of the authors of whom Wittgenstein held highest esteem, thought about the content, style, and organisation of the manuscript. At the same time, we can get some impression from Frege’s letters how Wittgenstein reacted to his initial letter addressing the Tractatus, and how the subsequent exchange went. In this paper, I offer several observations concerning their exchange, and I compare it to the parallel exchange on the same matter between Wittgenstein and Russell.

Stephen Schiffer's paradox of meaning shows that both Fregean and Russellian explanations of the individuals in thoughts-propositions are questionable. The author argues that it is Pavel Tichý's semantical system, which offers a viable middle way between the extremes of the above mentioned approaches, solving the Schiffer's paradox.
