    The Meaning of Kant’s Attitude Towards the Technical Instruments of Science in the Atmosphere of Enlightenment.Ana Bazac - 2024 - Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Philosophia 69 (3):7-24.
    I mention the main, technophile and technophobe, positions towards technology in the Western 18th century, as the criterion of this paper. Then I show that, however unexpected would this be, the concept of technics – opening the problem of technics – was explicitly present within the transcendental philosophy. From its multiple meanings outlined in the logic of this philosophy, I focus on the technical instruments of science. Kant considered them optimistically, but insisted that they are only means subordinated to the (...)

    For a Hermeneutic Phenomenological Approach to Teacher Observation.Adrian Costache - 2024 - Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Philosophia 69 (3):91-102.
    The present paper describes an alternative mode of doing teacher observation meant to overcome the limitations of the common approach in use today. To this end, the paper first draws upon the hermeneutic theory of perception developed by Graeme Nicholson and establishes the fundamental principle that ought to govern didactic observation and the conditions of possibility of this endeavor. Subsequently, taking Lester Embree’s description of phenomenological observation as model, the paper describes the basic rules to be followed. The paper ends (...)

    Empathy and Semiotic Narrative Practices concerning Art: A Cognitive Semiotic Approach to Aesthetic Experience and Emotion.Codruța Hainic - 2024 - Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Philosophia 69 (3):73-89.
    This paper proposes a cognitive-semiotic approach to aesthetics to understand aesthetic emotion and its relation to the process of producing and valorizing art. The core argument presented is that the emotional aspects of aesthetic experience are integral to the processes of evaluation and meaning-making and that this interplay significantly influences individuals’ engagement with art, highlighting the importance of these dimensions in the overall experience. Therefore, the initial step in my approach is to illustrate that the process of meaning-making is significantly (...)

    Quotidienneté et résistance.Jad Hatem - 2024 - Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Philosophia 69 (3):63-71.
    Daily Life and Resistance. Between daring project and tranquility, everyday life chooses the second term, the first threatening the habituality of serene existence. To do this, it deploys a minimal morality and, above all, a structure of resistance. The study is based on Andrei Pleco, Simone de Beauvoir, and Josep Maria Esquirol. Keywords: Daily life – Resistance – minima moralia – cultivating your garden – Availability.

    Rethinking Production. A Step Beyond the Hylomorphic and Anthropocentric Approach.Dimitri Jan Jakubowski - 2024 - Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Philosophia 69 (3):25-42.
    This research examines three thematic areas: philosophy, education, and ecology. It aims to be an interdisciplinary study, fundamentally based on the importance of the philosophy of environmental education and the practical implications that it can have. The problem of the contemporary hylomorphic production approach is first examined and then educational solutions are outlined towards a holistic understanding of the environment and of producing with it and not on it. By environment, in research, we also mean the human being because this (...)

    Wonder, Wandering, Mystery: Ricoeur on Sexuality and Eroticism – With a Brief Comparison to Marion and Levinas.Erzsébet Kerekes - 2024 - Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Philosophia 69 (3):43-62.
    In this paper, we aim to introduce and analyze a lesser-known text by Paul Ricoeur, “La merveille, l’errance, l’enigme”, which was originally written as an introduction to the November 1960 issue of the journal Esprit, dedicated to the theme of sexuality. Along the two paths of sexuality—tenderness and eroticism—what becomes evident is that sexuality, fundamentally, proves impenetrable to reflection and remains inaccessible to human dominance. After presenting Ricoeur’s reflections on sexuality and eroticism, this paper will also briefly compare his views (...)

    Was Aristotle a non-classical logician?Luis F. Bartolo Alegre - 2024 - Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Philosophia 69 (Special Issue):95-113.
    This paper discusses the possible classification of Aristotle’s syllogistic as a non-classical logical system, positing Aristotle himself as a non-classical logician. Initially, we find compelling arguments for this thesis, particularly regarding the expressive power and the rules governing logical inference inherent in Aristotle’s approach. My analysis nevertheless addresses two significant counterarguments. The first, the special case objection, posits that Aristotle’s syllogistic can be framed as a classical logic which deals with canonical syllogistic forms. I argue that this objection is insufficient, (...)
