(Original title: My v Ja alebo Ja v My? Kolektívna intencionalita a jastvo)
Filozofia, 78 (2023), 10, 801 - 820.Abstract
The article takes issue with the proposal that dominant accounts of collective intentionality suffer from an individualist bias and that one should instead reverse the order of explanation and give primacy to the we and the community. It discusses different versions of the community first view and argues that they fail because they operate with too simplistic a… Read more

In 1843, Adolph Peter Adler, a pastor of the Danish Church, claimed that he had received a supernatural revelation in which Christ spoke to him. The event triggered a religious controversy.

(Original title: Natura Fluens: Time and Nature in Avicenna’s The Physics of Healing)
Filozofia, 78 (2023), 10, 834 - 847.Abstract

(Original title: Law and the Leap in Being in Voegelin’s Philosophy)
Filozofia, 78 (2023), 10, 865 - 878.Abstract
The article presents Eric Voegelin’s legal-philosophical thought in the context of his efforts to reflect on the transcendent dimension of being.

The experience with transcendence empowers man to discern the normative Ought and to create its… Read more

The presented article describes the theory of vibrations as we can find it in the work of Joseph Priestley.

In this article, we will focus on individual areas of his… Read more
