(Original title: Metodeutické inšpirácie v myslení Ch. S. Peircea)

Charles Sanders Peirce plays a unique role in the history of modern American philosophy. The paper’s focus is on scientific discovery and explanation, i.e. two important issues of Peirce’s thinking.

(Original title: Peirceova verzia pragmatizmu)
Filozofia, 69 (2014), 4, 307-317.
Abstract

The paper discusses Peirce’s version of pragmatism, which is in principle based on his logical maxim (its various formulations appeared between 1878 and 1907 when the character of this philosophical school was in the making).

(Original title: Asocianizmus v pragmatizme: Peirceova rekonštrukcia britského empirizmu)
Filozofia, 69 (2014), 4, 342-354.
Abstract

This article focuses on the consequences of Peirce’s aspiration to reconstruct crucial issues of modern epistemology inherent in Locke’s and Hume’s empiricism. His most important result is a unique doctrine of signs (semiotics), which he developed alongside his well-known doctrine of pragmatism until 1902 – 1903, when these two doctrines undergo a desired… Read more

Intercultural Dialogue

(Original title: Dialóg kultúr – príznak postmoderny?)
Filozofia, 69 (2014), 4, 355-365.
Abstract

The aim of the paper is to explore the presuppositions of intercultural dialogue on the background of the analysis and model typology of dialogical speech acts. One of the unexpected consequences of the postmodern developments in Western philosophy is a fundamental crisis of its traditional universalistic paradigm. A challenge to this paradigm is an ambitious… Read more
