(Original title: The Sanctification of the Everyday)
Filozofia, 78 (2023), 7, 511 - 532.Abstract
The article traces the evolution and crystallization of Buber’s philosophy of dialogue. It focuses on his consideration of the epistemological and ontological issues attendant to the principium individuationis, the subject of his doctoral dissertation of 1904.

(Original title: A Strange Homology: Buber’s and Jünger’s Descriptions of the Fighting Individual)
Filozofia, 78 (2023), 7, 533 - 547.Abstract
A complex approach to Martin Buber’s oeuvre requires a consideration of both his dialogical and pre-dialogical writings. The latter include in some cases emphases that differ substantially from the emphases promulgated in Ich und Du.

(Original title: Jedaji ha-Pnini: Mixis jako nezbytná podmínka pro přijetí formy a teorie emergence)
Filozofia, 78 (2023), 7, 587 - 599.Abstract
This study presents an early phase of Jewish Averroism by means of an example of one of its representatives from the 14th century, Yeda’ya Bedersi ha-Penini. On the basis of his commentary on Aristotle’s Physics, which is available only as an unedited Hebrew manuscript, Yeda’ya is shown to be a proponent of weak emergentism in the modern sense of the word. This is… Read more
