(Original title: Zmierenie nie je odpustenie. Chvála odpustenia)
Filozofia, 72 (2017), 6, 417-428.
Abstract

Contrary to reconciliation forgiveness in modern sense appears in philosophy in the context of "German guilt" relatively lately, namely as late as at the end of the second half of the 20th century. It is perhaps due to this relative novelty that the two are arbitrarily mistaken one with another or understood as mutually dependent. In addition to a briefly outlined… Read more

(Original title: Odvaha k pravde: Foucault a kynici)
Filozofia, 72 (2017), 6, 429-439.
Abstract

The article goes back to Foucault’s last course at the Collège de France (Le courage de la verité). Two issues are its focus: (1) Socratic conception of philosophy as a way of life; (2) Cynic conception of the true life. Foucault used Cynics’ thought as an example of an alternative approach to the history of subjectivity, which in turn could help us in our… Read more

(Original title: Zmysel a tvorba: hranice predstavivosti)
Filozofia, 72 (2017), 6, 440-450.

The article investigates two different attitudes towards this… Read more

(Original title: Lutherovo rozlišovanie medzi filozofiou a teológiou z pohľadu logiky a sémantiky)
Filozofia, 72 (2017), 6, 463-474.
Abstract

The article deals with some of Luther’s disputes from logical and semantic perspectives. It shows how Luther made use of some parts of medieval logic and semantics in order to elucidate the relationship between philosophy and theology. The author argues that Luther introduced the conception of "new language" which offers a basis on which to differentiate between… Read more

(Original title: Libero arbitrio a ratio v Lutherovej teologickej antropológii)
Filozofia, 72 (2017), 6, 475-486.
Abstract

Luther’s theological anthropology with its emphasis on radical understanding of (original) sin and on lacking liberty, as far as salvation is concerned, is most promi- nent in his discussion with Erasmus of Rotterdam. Luther’s views require a discriminate approach. His critical view of the capabilities of human reason stems from soteriological emphasis on… Read more
