(Original title: Lidská práva jako utilitaristický projekt)
Filozofia, 79 (2024), 7, 737 - 751.Abstract
Human rights, as a special kind of moral rights, have traditionally been seen as guides for legally institutionalized human rights practice. However, there are several problems with this conception.

(Original title: The Awakening of the Soul and the Sleep of the Spirit: Hegel’s Philosophy of Dreams)
Filozofia, 79 (2024), 7, 768 - 782.Abstract
In his Anthropology, Hegel uses two apparently contradictory terms to refer to the soul: one is the “awakening of the soul” (Erwachen der Seele), and the other is the “sleeping of the spirit” (Schlafen des Geistes). In this paper, I will discuss how the soul awakens and, at the same time, remains a sleeping of the spirit. In this context, the problem of the… Read more
