(Original title: Death, Poetry, and Hope)
Filozofia, vol. 79 (2024), No 8, 847 - 862.Abstract
The paper revisits the question of immortality with Dostoevsky’s reference to ‘eternal memory’ as a leitmotif. Starting with Agamben’s discussion of Hegel, language, and death, the paper notes three ways in which language is understood as mimetic. For Hegel (according to Agamben) language imitates death. However, Heidegger highlighted the challenges of speaking… Read more

(Original title: Ineffable Tongues: An Analysis of the Notion of Ineffability in Pentecostal Glossolalia)
Filozofia, vol. 79 (2024), No 8, 863 - 877.Abstract
In this text I will analyze the notion of ineffability present in one of the most common practices of Pentecostalism, which is known as glossolalia: speaking in strange or non-existent languages. I will begin by outlining several of the main conceptions of ineffability that have emerged in studies in philosophy of religion, which explain why this concept is essential… Read more

(Original title: Human First and then Christian: Grundtvig’s Anthropology as a Pluralist Alternative)
Filozofia, vol. 79 (2024), No 8, 878 - 891.Abstract
In this article, I would like to suggest that the anthropological proposal of Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig, the famous nineteenth-century Danish author, offers a model that maintains and affirms religious diversity, recognizing its place in the life of the community, but without having to resort to the separation of the religious and the public, the typical… Read more

(Original title: Naṣr Ḥāmid Abū Zayd’s Use of Classical Theological and Philosophical Islamic Sources in His Qurʾānic Hermeneutics)
Filozofia, vol. 79 (2024), No 8, 892 - 906.Abstract
Naṣr Ḥāmid Abū Zayd (1943 – 2010) is one of the most controversial contemporary Egyptian scholars in the Islamic intellectual context. One of his main concerns was to apply textual criticism to the interpretations of the Qurʾān. This is not an easy task considering the divine status of the prophetic message. Abū Zayd’s approach to the Arabic notion of interpretation… Read more

(Original title: Poetic Reason: Identity in the Midst of Mysticism and Philosophy)
Filozofia, vol. 79 (2024), No 8, 907 - 920.Abstract
The irrationalist and vitalist options in the philosophy of the early twentieth century find in María Zambrano a liminal proposal. The author proposes a double movement: archaizing in order to renew the model of a philosophy saturated with formulas and without experiential content. To do so, she reads Plato, the father of Greek rationalism, through her acute… Read more

(Original title: The Perception of the Divine: Myth, Art, and Religion in Ernst Cassirer)
Filozofia, vol. 79 (2024), No 8, 921 - 934.Abstract
According to the philosophy of religion proposed by Ernst Cassirer, myth and religion are two symbolic forms whose goal of representation is the idea of the sacred; to achieve this, both use different aesthetic representations such as totem, ritual, or art to configure their own idea of the divine. Through a critical examination of the author’s work, both the… Read more

(Original title: Christian Humanism and Christianity-Inspired Atheistic Humanism)
Filozofia, vol. 79 (2024), No 8, 935 - 949.Abstract
The aim of this study is to focus on two forms of humanism: atheistic humanism (or humanistic atheism) and Christian humanism. The first type is represented by Czech philosopher Otakar A. Funda, while the second type is represented by two Christian thinkers – Jolana Poláková and Richard Schaeffler. By examining humanistic atheism, we can understand the… Read more
