(Original title: Heideggerova analýza moderného myslenia a biovedecký výskum)
Filozofia, 70 (2015), 9, 703-714.
Abstract

The article offers an analysis of Heidegger’s writings from the 1950s in which he, influenced by the historical condition of that time, explored the patterns of modern thought.

(Original title: Merleau-Pontyho estetika)
Filozofia, 70 (2015), 9, 748-758.
Abstract

The being of things and persons is fundamentally multiplied, dispersed among thousands of “adumbrations”. Yet these various appearances, though not representing a… Read more
