(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

Filozofia, 80 (2025), 5, 618 - 634.Abstract

(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
