Ideology and the Present

(Original title: Ideológia a súčasnosť)

Vladimír Brožík

Filozofia, 29 (1974), 1, 3-8.

Abstract

The social being of things (Wertgegenständlichkeit) is expressed as value only in confrontation with the opinions that the subject uses in evaluation as an equivalent of the evaluated. It is not only the resulting picture of reality in the evaluating consciousness that depends on the opinions which have become the standards in evaluation, but also the value conduct… Read more

To an Interpretation of the Marxist Notion of Freedom

(Original title: K jednej interpretácii marxistického pojmu slobody)

Andrej Hlávek

Filozofia, 29 (1974), 1, 9-15.pdf.

Abstract

Many interpreters of the marxist notion of freedom take Engels’s, formulation about freedom as a recognized inevitability for the marxist definition of freedom.

On Freedom

(Original title: O slobode)

Pavel Apostol

Filozofia, 29 (1974), 1, 16-21.

Abstract

Any assessment of the ontic and ontological stature of man includes also the statement of his freedom.

Freedom consists in the transforming action… Read more

Miroslava Šolcová

Filozofia, 29 (1974), 1, 22-33.

The Marxist-Leninist Comprehension of Practice

(Original title: K marxisticko-leninskému chápaniu praxe)

Vasko Kusin

Filozofia, 29 (1974), 1, 34-49.

Abstract

Practice in the system of marxist-leninist philosophy has the central position; by means of it and on the firm materialist basis a practical way of man’s self-creation can be revealed in the dialectics of the relation nature man. This is the way that is proper only to man as the objective — social, practical — transforming creature. By means of practice — namely… Read more

Category of Self-Consciousness in the Philosophical Tradition

(Original title: Kategorie sebe-vědomí ve filosofické tradici)

Luděk Novák

Filozofia, 29 (1974), 1, 50-61.

Abstract

The category of self-consciousness in the beginnings of philosophy acquired almost a central importance (Socrates). Later on it was understood as a rational substantiation of authenticity of existence (Descartes). Hegel extended essentially the meaning of this category when he included into, it not only the abstract I, but the consciousness of the other I, the forms… Read more
