This paper focusses on the Belgian constitutional and legal regulations which are clearly and relatively directly linked to minority protection as welt as their relevance for South Africa by way of analogy, taking into account South Africa's specific circumstances.Generally, what seems to be highly relevant for South Africa is the different kind of solutions in Belgium for its three categories of minorities as related to a different degree of territorial concentration. Going from an emphasis on territorial federalism, providing autonomy, for (...) the highly territorial concentrated linguistic groups, over the use of the relative concentrations of the ideological and philosophical groups in certain federated entities, to a combination of individual human rights and group rights without a territorial connection whatsoever for the religious groups which are highly dispersed throughout the country.An analogous differentiation ofseveral types ofminority protection could bedivised in South Africa as the genera! lack of territoria! concentration of thecountry's several population groups bas a different degree for the ethnic/linguistic groups as compared to the religious ones.

In his recent paper on the meta-problem of consciousness, Chalmers :6–66, 2018) claims that illusionism is one of the best reductionist theories available and that it is not incoherent, even if it is implausible and empirically false. Our paper argues against this: strong illusionism is poorly established. The first part presents the reasoning leading to strong illusionism; i.e., it describes the initial conditions and relations among them for its establishment. The second part of the paper argues that strong illusionism is (...) not constructed in a satisfactory way and calls the flaw in establishing it the pre-illusion problem. The third part demonstrates that the existing defense of strong illusionism does not save it from the pre-illusion problem, while the fourth part of the paper outlines two strategies to fight the pre-illusion problem, concluding, however, that they fail to do so, and indicates one possible way in which illusionism might be, nevertheless, coherently established.

Metageografijska kategorija Zapada svoju kurentnost u medijskom i akademskom diskursu najviše duguje temeljnoj longitudinalnoj podjeli u odnosu na Istok. Prostorno-vremenska univerzalizacija svjetske povijesti pritom je arbitrarna, izvorno europska konstrukcija. Tragamo li za podrijetlom modernoga pojma Europe i europskog identiteta, otkrivamo u kojoj je mjeri islam čimbenik njihova nastanka. Ranonovovjekovni europski humanisti reaktualiziraju antičke konstrukcije Istoka i Zapada – ili Europe i Azije – u smislu čvrstih kulturalnih i političkih granica. Ipak, oni pritom ponajviše započinju sekularizaciju kršćanstva kao srednjevjekovnog oblika zapadnog (...) jedinstva. Kako je rečeni identitet bitno oblikovan u križarskim ratovima, prirodno se nameće situiranje teme u uži, južnoeuropski i mediteranski kontekst odnosa različitih tradicija. Promišljanje diskursa filozofije povijesti o križarskim ratovima u ovom se radu nastoji povezati s novijim postignućima postkolonijalne teorije i medievistike.Metageographical category of the West retains its currency in the media and in academic discourse mainly due to the fundamental longitudinal divide severing the West from the East. The spatio-temporal universalisation of World History is at the same time an arbitrary, originally European construction. If we investigate the origin of the modern notion of Europe and the European identity, we realize the extent to which Islam was a factor in their creation. Early modern European humanists rediscovered ancient constructs of East and West or Europe and Asia as hard cultural and political boundaries. However, in so doing they have primarily begun the secularization of Christendom as the medieval form of western unity. Because the aforesaid identity was essentially formed during the Crusades, it is quite natural to situate this subject within narrower, Southern-European and Mediterranean context of relations between different traditions. This paper endeavours to link the reflection on the given portion of the discourse of the philosophy of history with the recent results of postcolonial theory and medieval studies. (shrink)

U ovome radu autor tematizira pojedine religijske i mističke aspekte ideje napretka i ukupnoga modernog imaginarija. Rečeno nastojanje temelji se na Spenglerovu izvodu genealogije znanstveničkoga staleža iz svećeničkoga staleža. Pritom skraćeni povijesni pregled konstrukcije mita o napretku ipak ne slijedi vulgarnu ‘tezu o sekularizaciji’ – naime, tvrdnju da ideologija napretka predstavlja tek sekulariziranu inačicu kršćanskoga milenarizma. Nadasve, rad pokušava afirmirati holistički pristup moderni i pojmovima s kojima je ova srasla: Zapadu, Razvoju, Napretku, Racionalnosti, Ekonomiji, Tehnici, Znanosti. Utoliko se svojom obuhvatnošću (...) i kvalitetom kao oslonac i predložak autorovoj kritici nametnula »infernalna« paradigma »Megastroja« . U analizi spasiteljske misije tehnoznanosti, posebna je pažnja pridana teodiceji ‘nevidljive ruke’ koja njome sistemski upravlja.The paper gives an overview of several religious and mystical aspects of the idea of napredaks and of the whole modern imagery as well. This endeavour is founded on Spengler’s inference about the clergy as the genealogical origin or predecessor of the scientists’ estate. However, the condensed historical review of the construction of the myth of napredaks does not follow the vulgar ‘secularisation thesis’ – namely, the notion that napredaks ideology represents a secularised version of the Christian millennialism. Above all, the paper attempts to reaffirm the holistic approach to modernity and to other terms that seem to have merged with it: West, Development, Napredaks, Rationality, Economy, Technology and Science. Consequently, the ‘infernal’ paradigm of the ‘Megamachine’ has imposed itself as a reliable support and a comprehensive model of critique. In the analysis of the redemptive mission of techno-science, particular attention has been given to the theodicy of the ‘invisible hand’, which systematically leads this mission. (shrink)

Rad počiva na stavu da je pojam ‘imperijalizma’ moguće korisno primijeniti i na pretkapitalistička društva. Na pragmatičkom i duhovnom planu, najvažnija etapa antičkog imperijalizma odvija se u razdoblju helenizma koje započinje s osvajanjima Aleksandra Velikoga. To je ujedno protoglobalizacijsko razdoblje formiranja multicivilizacijskog društva i univerzalnog čovječanstva. Stoga je unutar pothos-a koji pokreće imperijalističku ekspanziju potrebno prepoznati pozitivne aspekte poput širenja kulturnih obzora i stvaranja pragmatičke ekumene. Alternativu utopijskoj jezgri protoglobalizacija iz »ekumenskog doba« – kao i danas – moguće je svesti (...) na partikularizam i izolacionizam. Kako je tematiziranje antičkog imperijalizma od utemeljujućeg značaja za moderne filozofije povijesti, rad podrazumijeva i kratku analizu tih, uglavnom eurocentričnih, diskursa.The basic assumption of this paper is that the term ‘imperialism’ can usefully be applied to pre-capitalistic societies. On the pragmatic and spiritual level, the most important stage of ecumenic imperialism unfolds during period of Hellenism which begins with the conquests of Alexander the Great. Moreover, that was the period of proto-globalization when the formation of multicivilizational society and universal humanity became possible. Hence, it is necessary to recognize positive aspects within pothos that drives imperialistic expansions – like the broadening of cultural horizons and the creation of the pragmatic ecumene. The alternative to utopian core of globalization in the Ecumenic Age – just as today – can be reduced to particularism and isolationism. Considering the fundamental importance of ancient imperialism for modern philosophies of history, short analysis of these mainly eurocentric discourses is given. (shrink)

Zájem současné sociologie a dalších společenských věd o výzkumy spokojenosti a štěstí zatemňuje skutečnost, že původně právě sociologie chtěla „štěstí" poskytovat a nahrazovat tak náboženské přístupy ke světu. Tento implicitně nábo- ženský charakter je patrný i v rané české sociologii v dílech prvních propagátorů sociologie, jako byl především Emanuel Makovička, a později u některých následovníků a epigonů T. G. Masaryka, v meziválečném období zejména u Ladislava Kunteho, R. I. Malého, Alexandra Sommera-Batěka, Jindřicha Fleischnera a Jana Duška. Z hlediska vývoje české (...) sociologie šlo o zcela okrajové postavy, ačkoli mnohé z nich vynikly v jiných oblastech, jako celek jsou nicméně vyjádřením jednoho z aspektů dobových teoretických úvah o společnosti, jejím uspořádání a vývoji, na který by nemělo být zapomínáno. Zatímco T. G. Masaryka a pozdější akademické sociology „omezoval" vědecký charakter jejich práce, a i pokud směřovali k sociálnímu reformismu, oddělovali jej od teoretické sociologie, „sociologie vedoucí ke štěstí" nalezla plné uplatnění ve vizích a ambiciózních projek- tech těchto amatérských takésociologů - třebaže skončily faktickými nezdary nebo ani nedošly praktického naplnění, ostatně stejně jako v případě jejich pravzoru, Comtova pozitivistického apoštolátu.

¿Cuál es el origen de todas las cosas? A pesar de su gran diversidad, ¿tienen una raíz común? ¿Tuvo el mundo un comienzo? ¿Cómo surgió la vida en la tierra? Tales preguntas, que aún provocan a los científicos, fueron formuladas por vez primera por los primeros pensadores griegos. Anaxágoras responde a ellas poniendo al inicio del tiempo una confusa mezcla de todas las cosas sobre la cual obró un ser llamado Intelecto, quien dio lugar al orden del mundo que hoy (...) contemplamos. Con ello, este autor presocrático comienza a plantear algunas cuestiones filosóficas que perdurarán hasta nuestros días: la constitución de la materia, la naturaleza del conocimiento sensorial e intelectual, la intervención de Dios en el mundo… Este libro pretende analizar cuidadosamente la filosofía de Anaxágoras prestando atención a los dos aspectos principales de su doctrina: la mezcla e Intelecto. Su comprensión de la realidad física como una mezcla tiene consecuencias filosóficas de gran interés y constituye quizá la más sugestiva entre las primeras concepciones de la materia. Por otro lado, Intelecto es, según Anaxágoras, quien provoca la variedad de los seres a través del movimiento. Así, nuestro filósofo distingue del sustrato material la causa de sus cambios, la cual se hallaría, además, dotada de inteligencia. Tales rasgos de la filosofía de Anaxágoras atrajeron la atención de los grandes filósofos clásicos, particularmente de Aristóteles. El segundo gran objetivo de este libro es, pues, recorrer el camino por el cual discurrieron las enseñanzas de Anaxágoras, desde que fueron expuestas por él en Atenas, justo durante el siglo que definió la preponderancia intelectual de dicha polis durante siglos, hasta que llegaron a oídos de Aristóteles, el testigo más determinante para comprender a Anaxágoras.

An inclusive vision of mathematics-- its beauty, its humanity, and its power to build virtues that help us all flourish. For mathematician Francis Su, a society without mathematical affection is like a city without museums. To miss out on mathematics is to live without experiencing some of humanity's most beautiful ideas. In this profound book, written for a diverse audience but especially for those disenchanted by their past experiences, an award-winning mathematician and educator weaves personal reflections, puzzles, and stories to (...) show how mathematics meets basic human desires and cultivates virtues essential for human flourishing. Readers will explore mathematical concepts-- and see how mathematical thinking can even fulfill such longings as for love, play, freedom, justice, and community. Some lessons come from those who have struggled, including philosopher Simone Weil, whose own mathematical contributions were overshadowed by her brother's, and Christopher Jackson, who discovered mathematics as an inmate in a federal prison. Christopher Jackson's letters to the author appear throughout the book and show how this intellectual pursuit can-- and must-- be open to all. (shrink)

스페인 시인 씰로트의 상징사전을 토대로 국내외 문학작품을 예로 들어 주제별, 가나다순으로 수록한 문 학평론가의 상징사전.

Traditional representations of philosophy have tended to prize the role of reason in the discipline. These accounts focus exclusively on ideas and arguments as animating forces in the field. But anecdotal evidence and more rigorous sociological studies suggest there is more going on in philosophy. In this article, we present two hypotheses about social factors in the field: that social factors influence the development of philosophy, and that status and reputation—and thus social influence—will tend to be awarded to philosophers who (...) offer rationally compelling arguments for their views. In order to test these hypotheses, we need a more comprehensive grasp on the field than traditional representations afford. In particular, we need more substantial data about various social connections between philosophers. This investigation belongs to a naturalized metaphilosophy, an empirical study of the discipline itself, and it offers prospects for a fuller and more reliable understanding of philosophy. (shrink)

"Heidegger [...] è uno di quei filosofi che non si possono solo studiare, ma esigono dal proprio lettore uno sforzo interpretativo che, nella più autentica tradizione ermeneutica è anche partecipazione attiva all'impresa del pensiero [...]. Francesca Brencio [...] si presenta, con questo lavoro, come una mente filosofica che bene coglie lo "spirito del proprio tempo", [...] praticando una storia della filosofia che è ermeneutica rigorosa e al tempo stesso non dogmatica [...]. Brencio sta offrendo il proprio importante contributo, modificando in (...) modo originale un approccio e uno stile tipico della tradizione continentale (in senso lato) e tedesca (in senso stretto), ma rimanendo aperta ad altri contributi".
