(Original title: O slobode)
Filozofia, 29 (1974), 1, 16-21.Abstract
Any assessment of the ontic and ontological stature of man includes also the statement of his freedom. Conceived from the purely formal standpoint freedom becomes evident as a paradox: it means gaining independence, autonomization amidst the limitation of inevitabilities, i. e. amidst a certain contingency and dependence. Freedom consists in the transforming action… Read more

(Original title: Politická aktivita — součást socialistického životního způsobu)
Filozofia, 29 (1974), 1, 22-33.Abstract
The basic axis of the way of life is formed by material production (man as the creator of values) that itself finds its reflection in the life of people, in the extra-working sphere of life (man as the consumer of values). The proportion and the mutual relation of these two spheres of people’s life are an expression of a certain stage of the development of forces of… Read more

(Original title: Kategorie sebe-vědomí ve filosofické tradici)
Filozofia, 29 (1974), 1, 50-61.Abstract

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

(Original title: K jednej interpretácii marxistického pojmu slobody)
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. It escapes their attention that Engels, by means of this formulation, did not characterize his but Hegel’s conception of freedom. The author of the paper points out that the recognized inevitability still… Read more
