This paper aims to analyse and evaluate the character and role of sense perception in the works of Anselm of Canterbury written during the relatively short period of the 1070s and 1080s, namely the Monologion, the Proslogion (including the responses to the objections raised by monk Gaunilo), and De veritate. First, attention is devoted to sense perception in God – whether God possesses this kind of knowledge and whether God can be said to have sensually perceivable characteristics. The subsequent parts examine sense perception in the context of human knowledge on two levels: 1. human sensory knowledge and its role in understanding God (i.e., whether the senses are useful in any way in the struggle to find God) and 2. sensory knowledge and its truthfulness (including sensory illusions). Lastly, an attempt is made to explain why Anselm paid such little attention to sensory perception, even though it seems, according to the analysed texts, that the senses played an important and irreplaceable role in his noetic endeavour.

For centuries, the search for truth has been one of the most important tasks for universities and academia. Truth has been the foundation of these institutions. Knowing the truth is a unique spiritual joy (gaudium veritatis). The role of the university in the modern world is not only to observe the events and comment upon them, but also to search for truth and serve humanity. The service of truth and humanity requires crossing the borders of individual disciplines. The dialogue between science and faith can grow creatively in such a way as to overcome the restrictions imposed and open up to the full potential of the combination. Thus faith by its nature requires that its object be understood with the aid of reason, and reason seeking the full truth opens up to what faith can present. Faith enters into human life and knowledge not in order to abolish reason's autonomy, nor to limit its scope for action. Faith cannot therefore lead to some form of depreciation of reason. These two realities - faith and reason - intertwine and complement each other, while each has its own space in which it becomes real.

Artykuł sugeruje taką lekturę dwóch poematów heroikomicznych Ignacego Krasickiego, "Monachomachii" i "Antymonachomachii", która – zapewne w zgodzie z intencją poety – odsuwa na dalszy plan ich ewentualną wymowę satyryczną w odniesieniu do środowiska zakonnego. Eksponuje zaś ich mistrzostwo artystyczne, wciąż żywy komizm, złożoność relacji komunikacyjnych czy intertekstualność. Autor artykułu pokazuje podobieństwa i różnice między tymi utworami, podkreślając, że pierwszy z nich i jego recepcja stanowią temat drugiego. Przede wszystkim jednak uwaga skupia się tu na zaprezentowanej w poematach postawie poety wobec świata, która ujawnia wielorakie odczucie niezgodności – np. między językiem a rzeczywistością, przyczyną/zamiarem a skutkiem – nierzadko także absurdalności i nieprzezwyciężalnej śmieszności ludzkich postaw. Jako kluczowe jawi się też tutaj, szczególnie w przypadku "Antymonachomachii", różnie ujęte zagadnienie prawdy.

The paper suggests such a reading of Ignacy Krasicki’s two mock heroic poems, namely "Monachomachia" and "Antymonachomachia" ("Antimonachomachia") that, probably in accordance with the poet’s intention, moves the pieces’ allegedly satirical meaning in reference to the monk society to the background, and exhibits their artistic mastery, still vivid comedy, complexity of communicative and intertextual relationships. The author of the article shows the similarities and differences between the pieces, marking that the first piece and its reception is the theme of the second. Above all, however, attention is focused on the present in the poems attitude of the poet to the world which reveals manifold feeling of disagreement, e.g. between language and reality, cause/intention and effect, oftentimes also the absurdity and unsurpassed ridiculousness of human stances. The key factor here is also, especially in the case of "Antymonachomachia," variously conceived truth.

Montaigne is widely regarded as one of the most significant sceptics of the 16th century. His most important work, Essays, had a great impact on the thinkers of the 16th and 17th centuries, in particular on the philosophy of Descartes. The article presents Montaigne’s critique of senses and reason as sources of human knowledge. The elements of his scepticism that went beyond the sceptic arguments of ancient thinkers has been emphasized. The negative role of his ontological variabilism in knowing things has been underlined. As a result of the total criticism of the possibilities of human cognition made by the author of the Essays, attention has been paid to the non-sceptical type of the question posed by him: “What do I know?” (“Que sais-je?”). The answer to this question led him to fideism in cognition. At the end of the article, an attempt has been made to indicate Montaigne’s main epistemological and metaphysical assumptions that contributed to the problem of cognition. It has also been highlighted in what way the understanding of reason, method, and, above all, self became for Descartes, unlike Montaigne, the foundation of certain knowledge.

K Heideggerově koncepci výpovědi a pravdy

80%
EN
This paper contributes to the discussion of Heidegger’s conception of statement which rejects the classical understanding of it as being the automatic place of truth and reveals it to be a phenomenon rooted in much deeper hermeneutical and, above all, temporal structures. The article systematises Heidegger’s conception of the three conditions for the untruthfulness of a statement in relation to its primary, that is apophantic, function. The conclusion is a fundamentally ontological conception of the statement which can be applied to the traditional dispute between Russell and Strawson about the statement the current king of France is bald. Fundamental ontology also reveals how the starting point of this dispute is incorrect. If one had to say that one said was right, however, truth would be closer to Russell and not to Strawson, as it is generally thought nowadays.

Review of the Festival: "Normandie Impressionniste”
EN
The advent of society with its built in idea of progress by collective effort has led to tremendous human growth and development. Our today is more of our planned yesterday rather than by accident of nature. In spite of the vast unknown future before us, our today is largely as planned yesterday. To this extent we can say we know tomorrow taken as our planned and determined-to-achieve future. We know when to guess and make predictions of the future. We also know what we want our future to be and how to work towards realizing it. As humans we keep learning and broadening our horizons. Though today is to a large extent as we planned of it yesterday, we will still find room for improvement. This should not be taken to mean that we did not know today as planned from yesterday. It is human to want something better. So we have knowledge of our planned and determined-to-achieve future events in so far as we do not have at the moment any reason to think otherwise.

The article addresses the issue of lie and its detection in criminal proceedings, with particular focus on evaluating truthfulness and credibility of utterances made by the participants in criminal proceedings. It is a relatively new area of research which is of a significant importance for establishing the truth both in inquiry and in court practice. An application of new information technology solutions such as, inter alia, e-minutes serves this purpose.

In this paper different approaches to the concept of truth are compared. Many changes in the concept of truth result in making it a zero notion. Similar processes are described in Max Müller’s conception of the genesis of religion. In this respect we sug-gest that postmodern philosophy should be treated as a new mythology.

The analysis of Henryk Sienkiewicz’s novella Diokles concentrates on the forms of truth in a literary work. It reveals the truth that manifests itself in the world presented, in an allegorical figure (the truth takes the shape of female curves enveloped in many curtains whose uncovering equates with finding the mystery of things). „Veracity” formed on the basis of self-revelation of metaphysical quality is also presented (it is true in itself according to Roman Ingarden). Diokles and similarly Epic of Gilgamesh revolve around limitations resulting from the human condition, which requires taking into consideration that a man can experience reality and seize truth but commensurably with the measure of human ability.

I my work I refer to separated in literary discourse from the wide range of non-fiction literature literary witness. Both types of literature from the assumption refer to authentic events and include truthful style of perception. In my article I try to investigate weather there are any differences between the truth of literature of fact and the truth literary witness on selected texts of three authors: Chaim Grade, Józef Mackiewicz i Czesław Miłosz.I must be pointed that literary witness in the first place struggling with specifying of the inner truth of the main character, who experienced a borderline situation. Literature of fact is a transcription of a story of an eyewitness, who forwards the truth of the events.

The dispute over German past is not reserved for historians only. You can find both “advocates of German guilt” and “bards of German suffering” (Aleida Assmann) among many German writers. In the following article I ana-lyze essays by Maxim Biller and Bernhard Schlink – authors who each has differ-ent views on such a painful for Germans past.

Two experiments (N1= 117 andN2= 245) on reasoning with knowledge-rich conditionals showed a main effect of logical validity, which was due to the negative effect of counter-examples being smaller for valid than for invalid arguments. These findings support the thesis that some people tend to inhibit background inconsistent with the hypothetical truth of the premises, while others tend to abandon the implicit truth-assumption when they have factual evidence to the contrary. Findings show that adhering to the truth-assumption in the face of conflicting evidence to the contrary requires an investment of time and effort which people with a higher general aptitude are more likely to do.

The main statement of the paper is that the post-truth is expanding at an unprecedented rate, continuously forcing itself into new areas of public life and permeating millions of minds. This phenomenon has not so far been satisfactorily explained by researchers of global-range social phenomena. The paper presents various definitions of post-truth and its interpretations. The argument revolves around what truth means and what it is threatened by, as well as the most important institution that is, by definition, concerned about the truth: the university. The article outlines the functions of the university and contemporary conditions of its functioning, including the threats to the preservation of its mission and axiological foundation: striving towards the truth. The idea of the university, created in Europe at the beginning of the second millennium, has shown to be strong and durable. It has adopted various organisational forms, depending on the period and region. The secret of the universities’ persistence and meaning cannot be considered apart from the history of the European civilisation. However, the phenomenon of post-truth expansion is the most serious threat to this institution. The expansion of post-truth also leads to changes in the quality of the public life, bringing about its degeneration, with considerable contributions of the numerous pathologies of the Internet, distribution of lies and surprisingly quickly growing acceptance of this phenomenon.

Pravda a řeč

The article focuses on the relation between speech and truth, elaborated by Heidegger in the period of Being and Time. It argues that Heidegger’s notion of truth is a deeply linguistic one. The basic language unity is not the proposition (statement), but the situated act of speech. The author reconstructs Heidegger’s reading of the Aristotelian theory of statement as well as Heidegger’s appropriation of Husserl’s analysis of truth. The conclusion arrived at is that if speech is in early Heidegger to be true, it must be context-bound and interpretative.

The main issue related to social rehabilitation is its effectiveness. Is it possible to bridge the gulf that exists between a prisoner in custody and people who enjoy freedom? Are they alike? Or are they so very much different that social rehabilitation is impossible? There is a whole array of questions and answers. Most opinions hold that social rehabilitation is not possible. The author of the article suggests that a positive answer to these questions will only be possible when we reach for the concept of man and discover the truth that inmates and people outside corrective institutions are exactly the same. Thus our elementary task is to discover the truth about the excluded as well as to help the excluded discover the same truth. This discovery is attained through learning, i.e. education.

I highlight the importance of the notion of falsity for a seman- tical consideration of intuitionistic logic. One can find two principal (and non-equivalent) versions of such a notion in the literature, namely, falsity as non-truth and falsity as truth of a negative proposition. I argue in favor of the first version as the genuine intuitionistic notion of falsity.
