(Original title: Hegel and Gombrich on the Particular Forms of Art and their Persistence)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 5, 601 - 617.Abstract
Hegel’s aesthetics is not only organized around a developed account of the differing artistic genres (from architecture to poetry) but also articulates the importance of the particular forms of art (i.e., the symbolic, classical and romantic). The oppositions involved in Hegel’s treatment of the particular forms of art – particularly that between the symbolic and the… Read more

(Original title: Feuerbach’s Anthropomorphic Critique of Kant’s Theism)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 5, 618 - 634.Abstract
Scholars have not noticed that Immanuel Kant’s theoretical and practical (moral) conceptions of God inspired the structure of Ludwig Feuerbach’s general account of God in his The Essence of Christianity and that Kant’s theism is a primary target in Feuerbach’s anthropomorphic critique. To recognize the role of Kant’s account of God in Feuerbach’s Essence opens up new… Read more

(Original title: Problém vnitřku vnitřního vědomí v Husserlově fenomenologii se zřetelem k pojmu vnitřního u Platóna)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 5, 635 - 649.Abstract
This study explores parallels between Plato’s soul structure and Husserl’s intentional consciousness regarding the “inner.” It argues Plato’s “inner” is a relational view of soul and world via action, surprisingly connected to Husserl’s overcoming psychologization and dynamic intentionality. This path suggests that what appears a subjectivist or Cartesian legacy… Read more

(Original title: The Order of Art and Ethical Disorder: Levinasian Thoughts on Creation and Resistance)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 5, 665 - 678.Abstract
This article proposes a reflection on the status of art, and particularly literature, in the work of Emmanuel Levinas. In the French phenomenologist’s thought, literature occupies an ambivalent position: he frequently engages with it in his philosophical discourse, yet when confronting it directly, he excludes it from the ethical realm. In this study, I seek to… Read more

(Original title: Towards a Phenomenology of Rupture)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 5, 682 - 696.Abstract
What makes phenomena such as birth, death, creation or fate specifically “limit phenomena” within Husserl’s phenomenology is not simply their difficulty, but also that they seem to threaten phenomenology as a transcendentalist project. As a transcendentalist project, phenomenology tries to overcome contingency by seeking the apodictic and necessary, leading Husserl… Read more
