Prvé decénium Filozofickej fakulty Univerzity...

E-book

E-book

Iveta Bónová - Marián Gladiš (eds.)

The Foundation of the Faculty is a major “thing” created and developed by many personalities. The collected information, opinions, and critical judgements have led me to the conclusion that there exist among us plenty of narratives on the formation of this Faculty.

What is appealing about this fact is that from each party concerned, specifically teachers of Philosophy, Psychology and Education at the UPJŠ Faculty of Science, teachers of Psychology at the UPJŠ Faculty of Public Administration in Košice, teachers of the Department of Foreign Languages at UPJŠ, teachers at Prešov University who were approached with a bid to create the conditions of and opportunities for the development of their study branches at the new UPJŠ Faculty of Arts in Košice, there is a significant clue reflected in the inception of the new Faculty of this University.

It is necessary to say that it is a justifiable reflection, because without this, it would not be possible to develop exploration and offer the students courses in the field of Humanities, in social and behavioural sciences, educational sciences, and in the field of History and Ethnology.

E-book

Vladimír Leško - Zlatica Plašienková (eds.)

Filozofický zborník Kant v kontextoch Husserlovej a Heideggerovej filozofie je prezentáciou výsledkov II. medzinárodnej filozofickej konferencie, ktorá sa uskutočnila v dňoch 5. – 7. novembra 2008 na akademickej pôde UPJŠ v Košiciach. Konferenciu pripravila Katedra filozofie a dejín filozofie FF UPJŠ vo veľmi úzkej spolupráci so Slovenským filozofickým združením pri SAV v Bratislave.

Štruktúra predkladaného zborníka bola rozvrhnutá do troch základných častí. V prvej časti sú publikované príspevky, ktoré odzneli na konferencii a predstavujú rozhodujúcu obsahovú súčasť nášho zborníka. Jednotlivé príspevky sú zaradené v takom poradí, v akom odzneli na konferencii. V druhej časti zborníka sú publikované vystúpenia zo slávnostnej inaugurácie udeľovania čestného titulu Doctor honoris causa Milanovi Sobotkovi a Teodorovi Münzovi. V tretej časti je publikovaná fotodokumentácia, v ktorej je zachytený slávnostný akademický akt udeľovania čestného titulu Doctor honoris causa.

English for Chemists

E-book

E-book

Božena Velebná

The following material has been created during the two years of teaching English for Chemists at the Faculty of Science of the Pavol Jozef Šafárik University and is therefore designed to meet the needs of this course. The main motivation was the lack of appropriate materials, especially as the groups generally comprise students with a very diverse level of English. This diversity therefore became the main criterion determining both the form and the content of this text.

In the ten units that provide material for a one semester course, the emphasis is put on teaching the students vocabulary and terminology, which is introduced via authentic texts, depending on the topic of each unit. Students are encouraged to learn the meaning of new words in context. Grammar is included too, with the aim of demonstrating and explaining grammatical rules by means of examples taken directly from the texts. For the more advanced students, grammatical exercises in this material can serve for revision while the beginners might need more supplementary materials.

I hope that this material, the preparation of which has been a challenging as well as enjoyable experience will be useful for future teachers and the students of this course.

Philosophy of the history of philosophy

E-book

E-book

Vladimír Leško

Kniha je výsledkom dlhodobejšieho zamýšľania sa nad vzťahmi dejín filozofie a ich reflexiou vo viac či menej systémových, resp. asystémových podobách filozofovania najvýznamnejších filozofických učení 19. a 20 storočia (Hegel, Schelling, Marx, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Fink, Patočka a Gadamer). Základný cieľ práce spočíva v prezentovaní najvýznamnejších historickofilozofických učení 19. a 20. storočia vo formovaní a naplnení silných a slabých modelov filozofie dejín filozofie v koncepciách Hegela, Schellinga, Marxa, Nietzscheho, Husserla, Heideggera, Finka, Patočku a Gadamera. Prezentujú sa tu výsledky filozofie dejín filozofie ako metateoretického pohybu vo vnútri dejinnofilozofického myslenia, ktorého zámerom nie je empiricky opísať dejinnofilozofický proces, ale pochopiť ho a vysvetliť ako neoddeliteľnú súčasť tých najvýznamnejších filozofických problémov – čo je filozofia, čo je metafyzika a otázka bytia.

Sokratovská otázka ako filozofický problém

E-book

E-book

Štefan Jusko

The goal of the monograph is to highlight the significant problem of interpreting the Socratic question, as its approach represents a method of interpreting the history of philosophy, specifically in our case, the interpretation of Socrates and Plato. The Socratic question can be grasped in diametrically different ways, as shown by Patočka and Nietzsche, among others. The former aligns with Socrates and innovatively updates his question for the present. The latter is ambivalent towards Socrates but ultimately labels him a decadent.

In the first part of the monograph, Patočka's characterization of human existence is presented, which he formulates as unified and morally firm. Patočka interprets the Socratic question as care for the soul, for its well-being, without deriving the concept of good from something positively defined but from the whole world, which can only be defined negatively due to its constant openness. This sphere of negativity is for Patočka something immensely positive because transcendence lifts humans from relative goods to the overall meaning, making them morally capable in the true sense. The good, i.e., the requirement for a surge, for a turn of humans from the world of things to the whole world, is for him a program that Socrates first formulated through his knowing ignorance.

The second part of the work is dedicated to Nietzsche's concept based on the non-unified nature of human existence, which is not derived from the whole world or overall meaning but from situational meaning. Nietzsche strives to prove that in every situation, human existence is exposed to two opposing perspectives, between which it is impossible to decide which is correct. He concludes that both perspectives are equally valid and mutually conditioned, meaning that the opposite of good, what threatens meaning, is a beneficial condition for situational meaning. He labels this level as immoral, as a sphere where human existence creates meaning outside the thinking of good and evil in opposition.

The conclusion of the work is open because, as it turns out, we do not have a common denominator that could decide on the correctness of one or the other concept. Precisely in this lies the fact that the Socratic question remains a serious philosophical problem even today.
