This article deals the process of the philosophical development and transformation of ideas of Semyon Frank (1877–1950). At the beginning of the 20th century Frank, inspirited by Nietzsche, Neo-Kantians and Wilhelm Schuppe, claimed that metaphysics is not theoretical discipline, but only an expression of sentiments and passions. According to early Frank the object of metaphysics is not the world, but s e l f - c o n s c i o u s n e s s. Since 1908 Frank was influenced by Goethe and Bergson. In this connection he began to stress the value of intuition (or faith) in the process of cognition. As a consequence he elaborated a conception of All-unity (Absolute) contained all beings including subject of cognition. Contrary to Neo-Kantians the Russian philosopher in the latter period of his creation learnt about real existence of the object of cognition. The concluding paragraph compares epistemological views of Frank and Nicolai Hartmann.

Scattered issues of cognition are drawn together in philosophy that is understood by S. Hessen as the most abstract science, whereas the ultimate unity is available only to life itself and is experienced as the intuition of the whole. Any rationalized metaphysical constructions are though consistently rejected by the thinker, being regarded as confusing the boundaries between different values and fields of knowledge. In Hessen’s interpretation, “philosophizing” as metaphysical speculation, but not “metaphysics” as a science can be admitted.

A light-hearted lecture in the text of Metaphysics: Two chapters 7 and 8 of Book 7 in Metaphysics contain notes from three lectures on the topic of generation. At the beginning, a couple of remarks are made on the theme of biological procreation, which is taken up again in the repeat lecture summed up in chapter 9. This lecture is given in a light-hearted form, with sometimes frivolous allusions to the matter of sex. If one does not take into account this aspect (as it is usually done), the text becomes unintelligible.

The paper constitutes an attempt to answer briefly the question how Russian religious philosophy (so called Russian Religious Renaissance) was influenced by the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. The author tries to sum up the Russian religious dialogue with Kant, describing its different levels and discordances, if not contradictions, among them. Kant became the inspiration for Russian moral thought, but in the Russian philosophy of history he was treated as a bête noir representing all vices of rational western civilization; for the metaphysics of all-unity he was an important polemical context, while he was, in fact, rather insignificant for the religious existentialism.

This paper aims to introduce Whitehead’s philosophical thinking in general while focusing in particular on his critique of modern science and the concrete solutions he presents in his works from both his London period and the beginning of his Harvard period. Whitehead’s main project was the critical revision of the ultimate facts of natural science. He saw the task of speculative philosophy as one of redefining the main concepts of natural science in accordance with the rising modern physics and with his own profound analysis of the structure of human experience. Finally, the paper attempts an examination of the specific role of metaphysics in the system of natural knowledge.

The perennial tradition of virtue, grounded in the real natures of human persons, is essential for giving a robust answer to the question: ‘What is happiness, and how do we get it?’ This essay principally follows the metaphysical, psychological, ethical, and theological principles as expounded by St. Thomas Aquinas, primarily as found in his Summa Theologiae. These principles give us a solid foundation in order to build upon the work of more recent figures, especially Fr. Erich Przywara, Fr. Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange, and Josef Pieper. Their insights, grounded in personalism, produce a genuine and faithful development of a Thomistic understanding of personal happiness as the end of man.

The paper deals with E. H. Gombrich's lifelong polemics against metaphysics in art history and the humanities. They began in 1937 and continued up until his final (posthumous) book The Preference for the Primitives. Analyzing the "fallacies" and "pitfalls" resulting from metaphysical collectivism, essentialism, expressionism, holism and relativism such as a "belief in hypostatized collective personalities" and "style as a super-artist" or "physiognomic fallacy", Gombrich also unmasked their ideological implications. He first targeted nationalism and racialism, then the perils of totalitarianism and finally all forms of relativism. Gombrich's plea for the universality of the "canon of excellence" can be regarded not only as a defence of humanism but also as a form of apology for the values of Western liberal democratic society.

The concept of recognition is increasing in importance in political and social philosophy as a means of explaining and dealing conceptually with the problems of multiculturalism. Nevertheless, the phenomena which this concept signifies, namely human capacities for intersubjectivity, belong to human beings even before the development of the modern concept. This article explores how the content of the concept of recognition plays a role in two Platonic philosophies of Late Antiquity, those of the Neoplatonic philosopher Proclus and the Christian philosopher, monk and theologian Maximus the Confessor. It is shown that their versions of a metaphysics of the Good provides the foundation for a moral and ethical vision of human life which makes recognitive judgements – which make acts of recognition possible – a necessity for human action. Although proper recognition pertains to the rational recognition of the First Cause as the true end of all human action, nevertheless Proclus and Maximus make recognitive judgements not only possible but a necessary function of even the lower, irrational faculties of soul. In this way, they explain how human beings have an innate capacity at all levels of cognition for recognizing things and other people as goods to be pursued or avoided.

Three candidates for first philosophy in Nietzsche’s Beyond good and evil 20–22

Friedrich Nietzsche is not generally regarded as a “first philosopher”, but rather as a radical critic of the traditional aspiration of philosophy to be a “master science”, in relation to which the other sciences are subordinate or dependent. In this respect, he seems to have had more in common with the logical positivists and post-structuralists who came after him than with the whole galaxy of “first philosophers” who preceded him, from Aristotle and John Duns Scotus to René Descartes, Immanuel Kant and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. However, in a famous aphorism in Beyond good and evil, Nietzsche proposes that psychology ought to be recognised as “queen of the sciences”, a traditional formula for first philosophy. Although this passage is well known, it is more often taken as a rhetorical flourish than as a serious statement of intent. In this article, I focus on the three aphorisms (BGE 20–22) that lead up to this statement. I argue that these aphorisms form an interconnected sequence, in which Nietzsche considers and rejects three traditional candidates for first philosophy - cosmology (BGE 20), theology (BGE 21) and general ontology (BGE 22). By rejecting these traditional candidates for first philosophy one by one, this sequence clears the way for Nietzsche’s proposal in BGE 23 that psychology ought to be recognised as the true candidate for first philosophy. These aphorisms, then, form a crucial sub-section in the developing argument of the book as a whole, which is far more systematically organised than Nietzsche’s aphoristic manner of writing would appear to suggest.

Logical positivists claim that the whole of human knowledge can be reduced to analytic and synthetic sentences, and this means that the only possible knowledge is provided by science. Metaphysics is thus meaningless, because its sentences do not comply with the rules set forth by logical analysis of language. What, then, is the philosopher’s job? The members of the Vienna Circle answer that his task is to clarify the concepts used within empirical and formal sciences, while analytic philosophers stress instead the importance of ordinary language’s analysis. But the outcome is in both cases clear: philosophy is linguistic analysis. Howeber, by reducing the whole of reality to empirical reality, logical positivists do metaphysics. We do not have the “elimination” of metaphysics, but just the proposal of an empiricist brand of metaphysics.

The subject of this article is the role of chôrismos (separation) in the philosophy of Plotinus. Its primary aim is to explore relationships between chôrismos, dialectical method and noetic knowledge. The first part of this article demonstrate metaphysical and methodological function of chôrismos, the essence of which is to establish the subject matter of metaphysics (i.e. ontos on). The second part contains an analysis of the anagogic way of a soul to self-knowledge in the context of chôrismos and Plotinus’ aretology. The third part sums up our investigations. It develops relationships, extracted in previous sections, especially connections between dialectic and functions of chôrismos.

While dealing with the topic that he discovered himself, Thomas had to use the language of his predecessors and colloquial language too. That is why it is so difficult to spot the originality of his metaphysics of the esse-being. The most deceiving term about it is existence (to exist), because to exist is far less than to be, viz. to be in the full perfection of what is real. On the other hand, being completely perfect in a kind does not mean the same as being “divine”. Pseudo-Denis had accurately noticed it using the ambiguous term proballein. For the real being might be regarded as proposed to us by God, and lead us to Him consequently, but might veil Him from us as well. Everything depends on whether we regard esse as the utmost common – the universal in Aristotelian sense (revealing the cause, and the Cause eventually), or as something directly perceived and satisfying our desire of knowledge. The former meaning allows to put esse as a perfection-end; the latter does not. As we first behold what is imperfect, the utmost perfection of being must be seized at the end of cognition. That is why only the proofs of existence of God involve seizing the act of being, whereas so-called existential judgments are a myth.

In this paper I address the problem of justifying Steven French’s eliminative ontic structural realism by the metaphysical underdetermination argument. My main goal is to show that there are underlying strategies in the argument and that they are questionable. I provide arguments for this claim and conclude that while the metaphysical thesis of eliminative ontic structural realism is dismissible, French’s views can be characterized without it – at a very high price, however. ---------------------------------------- Received: 23/04/2024.

The article discusses how Elizabeth Jennings, having distanced herself from “The Movement,” engages her work in a dialogue with philosophy and theology, especially with regard to metaphysics and transcendence. The main focus is on the analysis of her poetic idiom based on oxymoron and silence. Jennings’ poetry is informed on the one hand by her Catholic Christianity, reflected not only in the poems’ subject matter but primarily in a religious sense pervading all her poetry. On the other hand it is empowered by Jennings’ belief in the capacity of the imaginative use of words to enter into the metaphysical realm and embody the ineffable. Jennings links human words of poetry with the Word of the divine, and in consequence bestows a sacramental value upon poetry in which she sees a human transcription of the perennial Logos shaping and illuminating the world.
