Problems and the Position of Axiology

(Original title: Problémy a postavenie axiológie)

Marian Váross

Filozofia, 23 (1968), 2, 113-128.

Abstract

Since long ago, human practice as well as philosophy have been trying to answer the question of what is the difference between the statements of the type „two and two equals four“ and „this woman is beautiful“.

On the Meanings of the Concept of Value

(Original title: Mnohoznačnost pojmu hodnota)

Vladimír Brožík

Filozofia, 23 (1968), 2, 129-137.

Abstract

The theory of values which leans on the Marxist conception of practice, must necessarily object both to the attempts to hypostatize values and the attempts to reduce them to moments of an intentional act. Value as a central point of the value field — of a complex network of the relations of socially determined man to reality transformed by his practical activity, has… Read more

Ideological Form of Self-Consciousness

(Original title: Ideologická forma sebavedomia)

Svetozár Mirkovič

Filozofia, 23 (1968), 2, 138-151.

Abstract

In ideology, people think of themselves and doing this, they pursue ideology. This circular form makes it always questionable.

The truth is not the agreement of a thought with reality, only this agreement is reality… Read more

The Discovery of Plurality of Mathematics and its Philosophical Significance

(Original title: Objev plurality matematiky a jeho filozofický dosah)

Arnošt Kolman

Filozofia, 23 (1968), 2, 169-178.

Abstract

Idealistic philosophy has been trying since long ago to utilize mathematics for its aims, but the development of the latter deprives it every time of this support. The crisis of the foundations of mathematics at the beginning of our century was provoked by the unrestricted interpretation of the concept of „set“ and by the uncritical transference of logic which arose… Read more

Subject and Object — Categories of the Relative Discontinuity of Practice

(Original title: Subjekt a objekt — kategória relatívnej diskontinuity praxe)

Vladimír Seiler

Filozofia, 23 (1968), 2, 179-186.

Abstract

The relation between subject and object is studied from the viewpoint of their univocal employment in philosophical explication of social regularities as forms of determination of subjects' activity. Subject and object are comprehended as categories of the relative discontinuity of practice, the latter being understood as their continuity. Practice is a purposeful… Read more
