(Original title: Truth, Theft and Gift: Thoughts on Alētheia)
Filozofia, 79 (2024), 4, 351 - 364.Abstract
In discussing truth in Being and Time Heidegger speaks of this as always involving a robbery (ein Raub). This is a revealing word but not noted by commentators. Is it an incidental metaphor not to be taken too seriously? Or does it help us focus on something of the informing orientation to being and truth marking the Heidegger of Being and Time? This reflection… Read more

Filozofia, 79 (2024), 4, 395 - 410.Abstract

I present both the idea that words constitute imitations of things (resemblance naturalism) and the claim that names are tools which “separate” and “teach” being (the tool analogy).

Filozofia, 79 (2024), 4, 442 - 456.Abstract
Art or at least what is called “eco art” or “environmental art” knows numerous ways in which to respond to environmental issues and become ecological.
