(Original title: Nemožná trhová demokracia)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 3, 279 - 284.Abstract
When the discourse on crises sidesteps the system’s shortcomings democracy is in a bad way. Institutions, social networks and individualism are to blame. It's the fault of the “radicalism of extremes,” or even of our powerlessness in the face of economic violence, which needs to be softened. Yet capitalism is founded on the division between the economic and the… Read more

(Original title: Fregeho Der Gedanke ako konkurenčný projekt k Wittgensteinovmu Traktátu)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 3, 285 - 299.Abstract
Based on the contents of the correspondence and an analysis of Der Gedanke and the Tractatus , and a comparison of the two, particularly in terms of the question What is fact? and What is the world?, we have attempted to provide a justification for the hypothesis that Frege’s essay Der Gedanke was conceived as a rival project to Wittgenstein’s nascent Tractatus. Our… Read more

(Original title: Data Toxicality: A Techno-Philosophical Inquiry into Digital Harm)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 3, 300 - 313.Abstract
In biochemistry, toxicity denotes the potential of a substance to cause harm within a biological system. Over time, the concept has been extended beyond its scientific origins to describe forms of social and psychological harm, as reflected in expressions like “toxic masculinity” or “toxic relationships.” This paper introduces the concept of “data toxicality,” a… Read more

(Original title: The Relationship of Care and Power in the Context of Feminist Care Ethics)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 3, 314 - 327.Abstract
Feminist theories of care ethics point out that vulnerability and dependence are an inherent part of caring relationships, while also noting that these aspects and the sense of inequality that stems from them invariably enable the abuse of power. At the same time, Tronto (2013) argues that the best form of care is non-hegemonic democratic care. How can care be… Read more

(Original title: Marxisticko-feministická konceptualizácia sociálnej reprodukcie)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 3, 328 - 343.Abstract
In contemporary social science, “social reproduction” is widely discussed. This paper focuses on two pioneering approaches to a Marxist-feminist conceptualizing of the field: the contributions of the Wages for Housework movement and Lise Vogel’s work. The article clarifies their underpinnings and critically reflects on their import. The shortcomings of the first… Read more

(Original title: Historická esence a tělesná materialita ve fenomenologii sexuální diference: Frederik J. J. Buytendijk proti Simone de Beauvoir)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 3, 344 - 358.Abstract
The study focuses on the analysis of the arguments by which F. J. J. Buytendijk criticized the founding work of philosophical feminism The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir. The interpretation is based on the objection of essentialism raised against Buytendijk by contemporary feminist critique (Banchetti-Robino). Our text first reconstructs Buytendijk’s argumentation… Read more

(Original title: Aké je miesto Eukleida medzi megarikmi?)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 3, 362 - 378.Abstract
The paper asks whether Euclid of Megara is a typical Socratic who examines the good life or a Megarian who combines Socratic ethics with the Eleatic doctrine. Firstly, the author analyzes the testimonies by Diogenes Laertius, Aristocles, and Cicero that identify Euclid as the founder of the Megarian line (part 1 – 4). The analyses result in an ambiguous assessment of… Read more

The first part of the study analyzes the doxographical evidence about Terpsion of Megara. The second part of the study reconstructs Terpsion’s purported theory of Socrates’ daimonion from the dialogue of Plutarch De genio… Read more

(Original title: Stilpón z Megár medzi sokratikou a helenizmom)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 3, 394 - 408.Abstract
Ancient sources depict the so-called Megarian school in two seemingly contrasting ways: on the one hand, as eristic and dialectic, and on the other, as a continuation of the Socratic ethical orientation in philosophy. The figure of Stilpo of Megara serves as an outstanding example of how these two aspects complement and condition one another. This study focuses on… Read more

(Original title: Megarská škola a sokratovská paideia)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 3, 409 - 423.Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to identify selected elements of Socratic paideia in Megarian thought. We assume that the philosophy of education was an integral part of the entire Megarian school. Thus, in the first part, we will introduce Socratic education as such, drawing attention to selected elements whose echoes we will be able to find in Megarian fragments… Read more

(Original title: Filozofie analytická vs. kontinentální: na obranu dělení)
Filozofia, 80 (2025), 3, 441 - 452.Abstract
In his On the Very Analytic-Continental Division in Philosophy, Šebela presents three objections against dividing contemporary philosophy into analytic and continental. He calls them a factual objection, a methodological objection, and a power objection. In this paper, I will scrutinize the three objections and show that each of them ultimately fails. My motivation… Read more
