Given the state of naturalness in his time Scotus rejects the intuitive knowledge of God as a singular and existing essential totality. There is, however, another way of knowing God: 'per rationes communes seu univoca'. Here the notion of being, which overarches the gap between God and creation, plays an important role. The notion of being is embodied in all essential concepts: in the order of differentiated knowledge it is 'the first clearly knowable concept', while in the order of the origin of knowledge it is the last one; it is an entirely simple concept; it is conceivable only clearly and with certainty, or not at all; it is the most imperfect concept, its imperfectness being its advantage: it opens the horizon of the possible knowing of the 'first' or 'infinite' reality; it is predicable about every reality either 'in quid' (about all essential contents) or 'in quale' (about convertible transcendentalia and the ultimate differences). In comparison to any proper concept the concept of being is 'conceptus imperfectus deminutus et non-adaequatus'; nevertheless, it is a real concept due to its denotating the real beings and due to its being effected by an abstraction; in the latter the object cooperates with the knowing power, therefore the concept is not a sort of rational fiction. Last, but not least, together with other transcendentalia it is the subject of metaphysics and it makes the philosophical knowing of God and thus also the meaningful theological language possible.

An experimental study was conducted to clarify the impact of the source problem (present/absent) and of the emotional valence (positive/negative) on the way analogical target problems are solved. Analogical problems were represented by two types of PC games. Film clips were used to elicit emotions, whereas emotional changes were monitored by SAM scale. It was found that the presence of source problem increased the speed of solving a target problem and led to analogical problem solving even though a non-analogical solution could also be conducted. Negative valence (feeling sad) facilitates analogical problem solving, whereas positive valence (feeling amused) alleviates non-analogical problem solving. Different emotional valence has no impact either on the length of the time needed for problem solving, or on the success.

This article discussed a number of aspects and characteristics of Skala's work which demonstrate the artist's fundamental concerns with nature and historicity. The author explored how these concerns are manifest in Skala's creation of highly auratic objects, of objects charged with significance within the artist's own personal history, and more generally with historical connotations that pertain to the history of art and the natural sciences. Although Skala works with artificial materials, a central feature of his oeuvre is the erasure of difference between the natural and the cultural. It is this erasure that the author discussed here in the context of Skala's romantic engagement in the natural world, as well as arguing for the importance of broader influences on his work, such as natural history and the representation and perception of nature in various historical epochs. With characteristic paradox, Skala's work can be seen as both profoundly and superficially engaged in the exploration and evocation of historicity. This is typified by his explicitly stylised allusions to romanticism, but it is more generally apparent in his consistent return to nature as the ultimate signifier of history; whether personal, folkloric, or artistic. As well as Skala's well-documented romantic tendencies, he showed the ways in which his work might relate to surrealism: a far more awkward art historical label that does not sit comfortably with Skala himself. Rather than simply discuss his works in relation to the ubiquitous found object of surrealism, the author explored how Skala's 'feeling for nature', for the resemblances of nature, and for the play between the classifications of the natural and the cultural, open up other routes into his work and into the complex network of associations that it constructs.

The aim of this paper is first, to point out, in our opinion incorrect, author-centric wave of restrictivism concerning the interpretation of copyright exceptions and limitations, and also illustrate its conflict with public interest in the copyright law. Second aim is to illuminate several existing internal and external legal instruments that can help the courts to rectify lot of these conflicting situations and thus defend the public interest. Third and last aim is to propose, within current Union law framework, the most flexible provisions for expected new Slovak Copyright Act.

A plenitude of motivations can and has been enlisted to speak for the hyper intensionality of epistemic modals. This fact is well-known and many logical frameworks have been introduced to capture the fine-grained nature of epistemic modals. Recently, hyper intensionality of deontic modals has been brought into the focus. Paradoxes of deontic logic and the failure of substitution of classical equivalents have been enlisted to motivate hyper intensionality in deontic logic. This paper formulates a new argument for hyper intensionality of deontic modals. The argument is based on an over-looked analogy between epistemic logic and deontic logic. This leads us to the question whether any hyper intensional framework apt for epistemic modals would be apt for deontic modals as well. The paper argues that many, but not all would be.

The article attempts to show how the traditional notion of analogy has recently been revisited and reformulated so as to explain some apparent irregularities of the morphological phenomena. The paper argues that analogical changes like the morphologization of metaphony or the distribution of stem alternants in Romance languages are to a certain extent predictable phenomena. It is claimed, however, that the predictability of such analogical changes (such as the spread of L, U and N patterns in Romance verb morphology) concerns only one aspect of the phenomenon, namely the regularity with which one particular innovation in a given cell of the paradigm affects all the other cells involved in the pattern in question. Yet another aspect, perhaps more important, is the probability that any such alternant (like the substitution of Old Spanish oyo with oigo) will come into being. It is argued that research on analogy such as conducted by Adam Albright might be considered complementary to the current diachronic research in Romance linguistics.

The chief aim of this study was to develop and validate a questionnaire to analyse the analogical and creative processes used by individuals when solving open problems. The investigation was carried out with a sample of 349 participants, ages 14 to 15 years, 147 boys and 202 girls, from both public and subsidized schools of the Community of Navarre (Spain). The employed procedure was a four-phase sequence: elaboration of the items of the questionnaire, administration of the analogical reasoning and creativity tests, training in the analogical procedure and creativity components, and solution of an open problem, responding individually to the questionnaire. Psychometric analyses revealed that the seven-item Analogical and Creative Questionnaire (ACQ) has satisfactory internal consistency, a clear factor structure, and acceptable convergent and content validity.

The article is a continuation of the author’s contribution Interpretation in Law I (Filozofia 2015/8) with the special attention paid to methods of interpretation in law: textualist, intentionalist, and teleological ones. It explains the cooperation of the law’s purpose and the method of idealizing generalization in defining the propositions relevant for teleological arguments. Particular, so called “logical methods” of interpreting law are included: the method a contrario, the method per analogiam, as well as two kinds of the a fortiori argument (argument with even stronger reason): a minori ad maius and a maiori ad minus.
