Looking back, both of the two great ancient civilizations in the world, China in the East and Greece in the West, beneﬁtted from philosophies that evolved almost simultaneously: Taoism and Mo-Tzu Confucianism in the East, and the trilogy of Socratic, Platonic, and Aristotelian thought in West. This exploration of philosophy in Europe, from the movement into the Renaissance in the ﬁfteen century in Italy to industrialization in the eighteen century in England, the ancient Greek civilization blos¬somed, and the value of the different philosophical thoughts and opinions concerning the livelihood of mankind and demands on the human being were honed until they reached the achievement of democracy. In China, by contrast, over several thousand years from Huang Di to the latest pres¬ident Xi Jinping, Confucian principles remained constant for the most part, with President Xi declaring at the ﬁrst meeting at which he ofﬁcially presided in November 2012 that “we are undertaking our Renaissance.”33 It is very late in the course of human history to proclaim it, and this re¬ﬂects that China lags behind the Western world. The reason for this is that the autocratic values of Confucian thought have remained constant and not changed into the democratic values of Socrates, Plato and Aris¬totle that in turn precipitated more modern philosophical thoughts and forms of governance during and since the Renaissance.

The aim of the paper is to call attention to the opposition inherent in Hannah Arendt's work, and to demonstrate the relevance of the opposition for modern culture, education and pedagogical thought. Following Arendt, the authoress emphasizes on the constitutive colognes of human existence, life and the world, and traces the history of their complex relationship. Its history began at the end of antiquity, turning multifarious in the modern era having changed its character completely by now. The paper is concluded with a reference to the crisis of culture, due to the privileged status of life at the price of worldliness. Obviously, the crisis has also affected education. It turns out, however, that the education, specifically understood, may be not only subject to the crisis but also a chance for its overcoming.

The contribution´s focus is primarily on ontological and anthropological issues which appear in a new research field, namely synthetic biology. Since one of the objectives of the latter is creating new forms of life, it is the criteria for defining the ontological status of synthetically created organisms as well as for differentiating between complex living organisms and artefacts that become prominent. It is paid also attention to the question to what extent the new information unveiled by synthetic biology could bring about a change of the anthropological concept of a human being or his/her self-understanding. The interpretations of a human being are based not only on cultural-historical, but also on scientific knowledge. Therefore, it is reasonable to consider the consequences of new scientific knowledge for the anthropological concept of a human being. In conclusion the article shows the possible practical applications of synthetic biology as well as possible related threats.

What does the fact that academic philosophy has specialized to a high degree entail its pursuit for? In particular, how can philosophy at present contribute to discussions pertaining to scientific issues? Due to its evolved character, it does not, in contrast to earlier times, when it was still intertwined with the sciences, produce substantial material results. Now the sciences have established themselves as independent domains, its role is limited, being focused on reflection. This does not, however, lead to its demise; in fact, it may, in order to preserve at least the appearance of stability, turn out to be the covering discipline in an ever changing scientific landscape.

The aim of the paper is to examine the nature of philosophy from the historical-pragmatist point of view. In the first part, the paper deals with the meaning holism and family resemblance of various exemplifications of philosophy, which are taken as presuppositions of our approach which define philosophy as an activity. In the second part, the paper criticizes those approaches which define philosophy as a quasi-science or a super-science. In the third part, the paper finally offers a definition of philosophy as a two-way intellectual activity consisting in outsourcing and insourcing of open questions and solutions.

One of alarming situation at present times is vanishing sense of a shame. It is caused mainly by mass media that create models of behaving that are wiping out from human consciousness patterns which were created by past generations. Almost every nation has its own pattern of a shame. Nowadays, a phenomenon of loosing any sense of a shame can be seen especially among young people.They wear more and more often clothes exposing intimate parts of human body. In front of such situation a question is asked about a nature and causes of the shame. Is the shame something right or something wrong? Is there any sense of a shame? An answer to this question should help in a process of bringing up young people. One of sources that could be helpful in looking for an answer is the Bible. According to biblical texts, especially Gen 1-3, a shame is a form of defense of man's dignity. Sense of a shame arises from the original sin. The essence of this sin is a will to decide about what is good and what is evil. Man can not decide about that, because only God as Creator of the whole universe can decide what is good and what is evil and forbidden to a man. In spite of that man broke down the God's commandments. The proper relations between people were destroyed, instead of love appeared a desire. The main aim of a shame is to keep proper relation between people based on love instead of desire. Because of that a sense of a shame is very important for a man and should be treated as one of a main point in education.

The Enlightenment represents a frequently reflected and, at the same time, also updated tradition. The Enlightenment ideas have become a theoretical-methodological base for thinking as such by its connection to a social or social-political praxis, what can be seen even in the contemporary confrontation with the Enlightenment legacy. The paper analyses the Enlightenment as a unique historical phenomenon – it deals with its explicit as well as its practical-political features – within the Russian milieu. In the basic outline, the paper presents a critical survey of the selected bibliographical sources. It primarily focuses on a historical-philosophical problematics and identification of three phases which can be found within a genesis of the Enlightenment thinking in Russia. The second part of the paper offers the characteristics of distinctive intellectual environments participating in a forming of the Enlightenment tradition in Russian thinking, and overlapping into actual political and social happenings. To these environments belong aristocratic associations, the Masonic lodges, and also educational institutions established and controlled by the state – spiritual academies and universities.

Metaphysics and Ethics as natural dispositions of the human being are - in a mutually opposite way - the expression of the transcendentality of human spirit. The transcendentality is, as such, not comprehendible by our conceptions. It can be demonstrated as unavoidable only by an indirect and negative argument, in that it is necessarily presupposed in each attempt of contesting it. But from this argument cannot be deducted any content of Metaphysics and Ethics. When we attempt a positive argument by the reflection of self-awareness or by the necessity of self-assertion, we fall in an endless regress. According to Kant, Ethics is grounded in the 'pure fact of reason'. But any fact itself requires a ground. Metaphysics cannot yield this ground, according to Hume's 'razor'. On the other hand, Metaphysics cannot be founded in Ethics, as Levinas thinks, for the relation to the 'face' of an Other has no theoretical evidence. Ethics as universally obligatory is nevertheless bounded on the principle of non-contradiction of thinking, and the principle of non-contradiction can be justified only by the ethical duty to participate in the dialogue concerning the existence of truth. This mutual necessity refers to the mutual foundation of Metaphysics and Ethics. In this mutual foundation of the unconditioned principles there is the 'utopian place' of the absolute truth of Metaphysics and the absolute validity of Ethics.

In this article, the author ponders about an absence of treatises on God's attributes in modern monographs about God trinus and unus. The unquestionable importance of this area of theological reflection is connected with several problems that the author tries to solve for the present time. Firstly, it is necessary to prefer the way of negative theology, and we should be aware of God always transcending the being we think. The intellectual cipher in this world of the mystery of the living God is a paradoxicalness that we do not have to be afraid of. Secondly, we need to connect ontological utterances with the history of salvation, which is possible if we see them on the basis of the structures of systematic Christology as a point of the drama of revelation and salvation. The new ontotheology must not be used as something that precedes the experience of faith, but as a moment of intelligibility of mystery implicit to faith. As a consequence of it, the new ontotheology will be implicit, not only to faith and historicity, but also to spirituality. On the basis of confrontation with the biblical faith, the author traces a paradoxical polarisation necessity/freedom, which allows him to enter the area of Trinitarian ontology, as the immanent Trinity asserts a perfect mutual penetration of freedom and necessity: God is such as He wants to be, and He wants to be as He is. The given solutions have their importance mostly for the methodological field, and several given proposals call for a subsequent study, where the traced principles will be applied together with the principle of paradoxicalness in the presentation of individual attributes of God trinus and unus.

Among theoretical physicists there is a relatively long tradition of commenting on the historical and philosophical questions of their discipline in the form of books aimed at the wider public. Hawking and Mlodinow 2010 book offers the model-dependent realism as an interpretive framework for contemporary science. The article aims at a critical examination of the main points of this framework and comes to the conclusion that despite their efforts the authors did not free themselves from the traditional dispute between realism and anti-realism in the philosophy of science.

The aim of the paper is to clarify the interdisciplinary and methodological nature of the relationship between philosophy and the digital humanities. The examination process consists of an analysis of five modes of engagement of IT and humanities elaborated by Svensson and of their specifications in terms of digital research in philosophy. Firstly, we introduce the issue of digital humanities and their definitions; then we define Svensson’s modes of engagement of IT and humanities (IT as a tool, study object, expressive medium, experimental laboratory, activist venue); and we exemplify each of them with digital philosophical projects and their methodological assumptions (the first mode is analysed in detail). The intention is to offer a systematic overview of the relationship between philosophy and the digital humanities.
