E-book

Zuzana Buráková

Učebné texty anglického jazyka sú určené študentom geografie a všeobecnej ekológie na Prírodovedeckej fakulte UPJŠ. Ich cieľom je rozšíriť komunikatívne jazykové kompetencie na stredne pokročilej úrovni ovládania anglického jazyka s dôrazom na odbor, ktorý študujú. Jednotlivé kapitoly vychádzajú z potreby špecializácie sa jednotlivých prírodovedných odborov a pripravenosti študentov prezentovať svoje študijné výsledky nielen doma, ale aj v zahraničí. Učebný materiál obsahuje rôznorodé texty, kvízy, cvičenia, mapy a pod., ktoré svojim obsahom ešte viac približujú problematiku odboru. Tento učebný materiál má za cieľ slúžiť ako základ pre ďalšie vytvorenie ešte precíznejšieho materiálu potrebného na výučbu špecializovaného cudzieho jazyka.

E-book

Ingrid MadárováVeronika PálováLucia Tóthová

Audio attachments - format RAR

The audio-exercise workbook “Pán doktor, rozumiete po slovensky?”is a follow-up to the textbook “Pán doktor, hovoríte po slovensky?” (Madárová et al.)and is intended for international students of Slovak as a foreign language in the medical environment.

This workbook provides the students with an opportunity to practise and enhance mostly their listening skills and pronunciation through various short dialogues between doctors and patients in the Slovak language. Dialogues contain the vocabulary used in the textbook Pán doktorhovoríte po slovensky?.  Students are encouraged to build their confidence in speaking Slovak by practising these dialogues in the new workbook.

The audio-exercise workbook is comprised of 16 units. Each unit offers short dialogues and recordings

A number of dialogues enable its wide use for self-studying while the most frequent phrases related primarily to body parts, signs and symptoms of illnesses, diseases or various medical conditions are practised in different contexts in a variety of exercises.

Original illustrations enable students to understand dialogues more easily and the correct answers of the exercises and the scripts of the recordings can be found in the Answer key at the end of the workbook.

Doktorandské miscelaneá 7

E-book

E-book

Lukáš Šutor

The seventh volume of Doctoral Miscellanea was created in this year's specific research and educational situation, which predetermined its character as a non-conference collection.

The previous two editions continued the tradition of domestic scientific events (initially seminars, later conferences) at the Autumn School of Doctoral Students of the Faculty of Arts at UPJŠ in Košice, thereby creating an opportunity to verify more comprehensive scientific conclusions before a diverse audience, not only of experienced educators but also of researchers from their own generation. This phase was narrowed down to communication between the supervisor/reviewer and the doctoral student during the publication's creation. However, this did not automatically mean a less intense dialogue. Many contributions underwent interesting changes and variations.

The resulting studies reflect not only the degree of development of dissertation projects but often also the interest of young scientists in specific issues that have the potential for independent research. After all, they chose our domestic collection for testing their ideas.

Heidegger – Nietzsche (problém interpretácie)

E-book

E-book

Štefan Jusko

The stimulus for this monograph was my two studies on Heidegger’s interpretation of Nietzsche’s ideas of the will to power and eternal return of the same, published in Heidegger and Modern Metaphysics (supported by the Slovak Research and Development Agency, APVV-14-0706, under the leadership of V. Leška and M. Sobotka). In the submitted monograph, I present both studies in expanded (particularly “Will to Power as Art”) and refined versions (“Eternal Return of the Same”) and add a third chapter addressing the question of the meaning of interpreting philosophical texts, which themselves are interpretations of other texts.

In seeking an appropriate approach to the meaning of interpretation, I conclude that—generally—the purpose of interpretation is to uncover the productive dimension of the interpreted text, which can only be revealed if the interpreter enters the text openly and as neutrally as possible. If the interpreter does not open themselves to the text, allowing it to interpret them in turn, interpretation remains trapped. I believe that without mutual openness between interpreter and interpreted, interpretation has no meaning and typically becomes either rejection or misinterpretation—a form of violence.

In the third chapter, which I consider foundational, I attempt to “balance” the interpretive context of “Heidegger–Nietzsche” from the first two chapters through a reversible context of “Nietzsche–Heidegger,” albeit with the risk that my interpretation of Nietzsche’s thought—specifically his ideas of eternal return and will to power—may remain subjective, even if unintended as misinterpretation. Ultimately, the ambition of the third chapter is to explore intersections between the two philosophers, one of which—a rudimentary yet significant overlap—I identify as Heidegger’s concept of being-in-the-world, reinterpreted through Nietzsche’s lens. It is Nietzsche who challenges us to adopt a self-defined stance toward the world, to confront what it means to be in the world.

The challenge for me—and perhaps the reader—is to remain faithful to oneself, which is only possible by persisting in the context of mutual interpretation between interpreter and interpreted, regardless of who/what is interpreting or being interpreted. For the context of being-in-the-world is always co-created by both sides.

Vybrané kapitoly z dejín Grécka a Ríma

Milan Olejník

Dejiny antického Grécka a Ríma sú kulmináciou úspechov, ktoré dosiahli staroveké civilizácie v politickej, hospodárskej a spoločenskej sfére, v poznaní človeka a sveta a v umení. Gréci ako prví v dejinách ľudstva dokázali vytvoriť systém, v ktorom určitá časť spoločnosti – plnoprávni občania, mala možnosť slobodne rozhodovať o politickom a dianí, mohli voliť a byť zvolení do úradov rámci daného politického systému a mali právo diskutovať o otázkach dotýkajúcich sa života komunity. Vysoký stupeň vzdelanosti a hľadanie racionálneho vysvetlenia prírodných javov, umožnili Grékom dosiahnuť úroveň poznania, ku ktorej sa európske národy dopracovali až v novoveku. Úspechy Grékov v sochárstve, architektúre i v literatúre sú dodnes inšpiráciou. Napriek odstupu viac než dvoch tisícročí sú nám svojim myslením a konaním blízki, rozumieme ich víťazstvám i porážkam a sú v mnohom zdrojom poučenia aj dnes.
Demokracia bola určujúcim princípom aj Rímskej republiky a významným predpokladom úspechu Ríma v zápolení vládu nad Itáliou a postupne celým Stredomorím. I keď vznik Rímskej ríše možno charakterizovať ako výsledok dobyvačných vojen, Rimania dokázali integrovať odlišné kultúry a pretvoriť komunity, ktoré sa nachádzali na rôznom stupni vývoja do spoločenstva národov, založeného na unifikovanom hospodárskom a právnom základe, umožňujúcom slobodu pohybu a výmenu ideí v Stredomorí i za jeho hranicami. Práca je koncipovaná ako učebná pomôcka, ktorá prístupnou formou poskytuje informácie o zlomových udalostiach dejín antického Grécka a Ríma. Pozornosť je venovaná aj stručnej charakteristike významných osobností a ich miesta v historickom dianí. V základných rysoch je načrtnutý hospodársky vývoj antickej spoločnosti a faktory ktoré ho podmieňovali. V závere sú analyzované príčiny úpadku a zániku Rímskeho impéria. Práca je doplnená zoznamom literatúry, ktorá je dostupná v Štátnej vedeckej knižnici v Košiciach a na Katedre dejín FF UPJŠ. V zozname literatúry sú uvedené aj internetové zdroje.

Lingua Latina – cvičebnica pre filológov

E-book

E-book

Jana BalegováAnabela Katreničová

The university textbook Lingua Latina – a workbook for philologists is a parallel study material to the textbook Lingua Latina – cursus communis. It is designed for practicing grammatical material at home. The content of the exercises corresponds to the focus of individual lessons in the mentioned textbook, both in terms of the covered grammatical phenomena and vocabulary. For this reason, only vocabulary that was not part of the lessons covered in the textbook is included in the exercises.

A Latin-Slovak dictionary at the end of the workbook contains the entire vocabulary from both the workbook and the textbook. A Slovak-Latin dictionary includes the vocabulary from exercises that require translation into Latin. The vocabulary of this workbook is oriented towards the needs of students specializing in philology and, with regard to the selection of source materials, also includes non-classical lexicon or non-classical meanings of classical words (this lexicon is marked with an asterisk). The workbook includes a key that allows students to directly verify the correctness of their work.

The textbook Lingua Latina – a workbook for philologists is available electronically in PDF format. As part of the educational program, online tests available on the KKF FF UPJŠ website (https://www.upjs.sk/filozoficka-fakulta/katedra-klasickejfilologie/katedra/) also serve to practice the covered material.
