The Netherlands took presidency over the Council of the EU until July 2016, followed by Slovakia and Malta. This 18month timetable puts great pressure on the Dutch to deal with the refugee crisis. For half a year, the country will have to tackle the various challenges. In a programme drafted with Slovakia and Malta, which will take the next two presidencies from July 2016, the Netherlands focused on a number of priorities in the area of Research and Innovation. An innovative Union focused on growth and jobs is one of the three starting poins for the 2016 Dutch Presidency. Innovation will have to top the EU agenda if the Union wishes to remain an economic powerhouse, according to the government. The Netherlands mentions several points, amongst which: effective implementation of European research and innovation programmes, supporting applied research while maintaining scientific excellence; the evaluation of the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (2007-2013); the joint establishment of large-scale research facilities for the ERA; rapid development in science (Science 2.0 or Open Science); enhance the impact of science; advance Open Access to scientific publications and the use of research results; encourage public-private partnerships and the involvement of SMEs, to ensure scientific knowledge is used in tackling social challenges. and Soňa Jarošová.
This article examines the critique of materialism in the work of Noam Chomsky which treats the doctrine as lacking in any clear content. It is argued that Chomsky’s critique is a coherent one drawing on an understanding of the Newtonian revolution in science, on a modular conception of the mind, and on the related conception of epistemic boundedness. The article also seeks to demonstrate the limits of Chomsky’s position by drawing attention to his use of the third-person point of view in considering the mental and his resulting failure to make good sense of consciousness. Finally, a dual-aspect theory is recommended which would incorporate Chomsky’s agnosticism about the nature of matter., Článek zkoumá a hodnotí kritiku materialismu v díle Noama Chomského, podle níž je materialismus doktrínou bez jasného obsahu. Ukazuje se, že Chomského kritika je koherentní v tom, že uvádí do souladu interpretaci newtonovské revoluce v přírodní vědě s modulárním pojetím mysli a související teorií kognitivní omezenosti. Dále se tento článek snaží poukázat na problematický rys Chomského kritiky, spočívající v tom, že uznává při zkoumání mysli pouze hledisko třetí osoby. Toto omezení vede k podcenění úlohy a významu vědomí. Závěrem autor navrhuje, že tento nedostatek by bylo možné opravit tím, že bychom Chomského agnostické stanovisko vůči hmotě propojili s teorií dvou aspektů (dual-aspect theory)., and James Hill.
Noc ze čtvrtka 16. na pátek 17. června 2016 byla v hlavním městě ČR naprosto výjimečná: byla totiž svědkem první „Noci filozofie/Nuit de la philosophie“ v Praze a ve střední Evropě., From June 16 to 17, 2016, the Night of Philosophy presented a wide audience with a round-the-clock program of short and long lectures, debates, readings, art shows and performances, screenings and concerts gathering 55 leading international philosophers from the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia who focused on the topic Images, Sciences and Politics.

In this article we introduce the notion of non-home as an attempt of meaningful insight into the migrants’ dwelling constructed from elements of diff erent provenance (family homes, social housing institutions, etc.), depending on tenants housing experiences, defi nitions (knowledge) and the very materiality of a living space. In developing the idea of a non-home we refer to the theoretical concepts of non-places and heterotopias., V tomto článku představujeme pojem ne-domova jako pokus o smyslupný náhled do bydlení migrantů, jenž je zkonstruováno z prvků různé provenience (rodinné domovy, instituce sociálního bydlení apod.) v závislosti na obyvatelských zkušenostech nájemníků, defi nicích (vědění) a samotné materialitě prostoru obydlí. Při rozvíjení myšlenky ne-domova se odvoláváme na teoretické koncepty ne-míst a heterotopií., and Magdalena Łukasiuk, Marcin Jewdokimow.
