(Original title: Vyrovnávanie sa s globálnymi zmenami: Potreba nových hodnôt)
Filozofia, vol. 80 (2025), No 1, 4 - 19.Abstract
The following text was presented to the 1995 conference of the International Council of Philosophical Inquiry with Children and appears here for the first time in a Slovak translation. Unfortunately, the challenges of coping with global change that it discusses have still not been addressed. Some of the facts have changed—for example, China’s per capita greenhouse… Read more

(Original title: O realistických návrhoch v súčasnej filozofii histórie)
Filozofia, vol. 80 (2025), No 1, 20 - 34.Abstract
In recent years, several realist interpretations of historical work have been presented within the philosophy of history. In this paper, I briefly examine three of them, namely I discuss the views of T. E. Førland, B. Mitrović and A. Timmins. I critically analyze their claims and try to identify what unites them. I focus mainly on the concept of fact and, in general… Read more

(Original title: Should We Share Misfortune with Our Friends? Pleasure and Pain in the Context of Aristotle’s Theory of Friendship)
Filozofia, vol. 80 (2025), No 1, 35 - 48.Abstract
This paper explores Aristotle’s claim that, while we should be ready to assist our friends in their misfortunes, we should not share our pain with them and instead share only good things. I analyze the role this idea plays within Aristotle’s overall theory of friendship, particularly his argument that sharing pain with friends brings us pleasure but causes them pain… Read more

(Original title: Hegelianism, Theology and Politics in Karl Rosenkranz: Some Historical Remarks on a Still Relevant Question)
Filozofia, vol. 80 (2025), No 1, 52 - 66.Abstract
Karl Rosenkranz (1805 – 1879) was a towering figure of German university life from the 1830s to the 1870s, but he is now mainly remembered for his Aesthetics of Ugliness (1853, English translation 2015). The present paper concentrates on Rosenkranz’s theological (II) and political (III) thought, preceded by an examination of his relation to Hegel (I). The link… Read more

(Original title: Kierkegaard and Stirner: A Comparison on the Fundamental Philosophical Question)
Filozofia, vol. 80 (2025), No 1, 67 - 80.Abstract
The relationship between Kierkegaard and Stirner has been little studied. Although they didn’t directly influence each other, they shared a similar cultural milieu, and both rejected the Hegelian and post-Hegelian solutions to the crisis of modernity. They argued that concepts such as spirit, humanity, or society alienate the concrete existence of human beings.… Read more

(Original title: The Aesthete as a Failed Religious Man: Notes on the Aesthetic Conception of Existence in Either/Or, Part I by Søren Kierkegaard)
Filozofia, vol. 80 (2025), No 1, 81 - 94.Abstract
The article takes as a starting point Sergio Givone’s assertion that the aesthete is a religious man who has failed. Following this hypothesis, we see that, faced with the experience of boredom as the fundamental mood of the work, the aesthetic conception of existence leads to a practical method of discipline and detachment from the world similar to that of ascetic… Read more

(Original title: The Head of State as Representative of Mankind in Ludwig Feuerbach’s Political Conception)
Filozofia, vol. 80 (2025), No 1, 95 - 105.Abstract
In the philosophy of Ludwig Feuerbach (1804 – 1872) religion occupies a central place, for it is on the religious plane, and by means of the genetic-critical method, that Feuerbach realizes the anthropological reduction of God, while postulating praxis by situating the community spatiotemporally, thus giving rise to the constitution of the state. The aim of this… Read more

(Original title: Puppeteers and Ventriloquists: The Pippin-Žižek-Johnston Debate and What It Means to Be a Hegelian Today)
Filozofia, vol. 80 (2025), No 1, 106 - 120.Abstract
This paper investigates the polemics between Hegel scholar Robert Pippin and representatives of the “Ljubljana School,” Slavoj Žižek and Adrian Johnston. Our issue is not to reduce the matter to a political quarrel or decide on the “accuracy” of their Hegel interpretation, as existing literature has done. Rather, we focus on the debate’s developments through the lens… Read more

The year 2023 marked the centenary of the first publication of Buber’s philosophical-poetic classic I and Thou, in which he introduced the foundations of his philosophy of dialogue.
