Ve studii „Transcendence slov“ se Emmanual Levinas zabývá charakterem literárního obrazu. Porovnává ho s malbou a zdůrazňuje vizuální povahu obou těchto obrazů. Ticho těchto obrazů je však překonáno skandálem zaznívajících slov, která subjekt nabízí Jinému., In his study ‘The Transcendence of Words’, Emmanuel Levinas deals with the character of the literary image. He compares it with painting and emphasises the visual nature of both these images. However, the silence of both these images is overcome by the scandal of the resounding words which the subject offers to the Other., and Emmanuel Levinas.
Recenzní studie věno- vaná knize Markuse Krajewskiho Paper Machines: About Cards & Catalogues, 1548-1929 (Cambridge - Londýn: MIT Press 2011) mapuje konceptuální dějiny kartotéky s důrazem na transformaci knihovnických katalogů z podoby vázané, tištěné knihy do formy standardizovaných a mobilních kartotéčních lístků. Soustředí se především na vliv materiálních podmínek produkce vědeckých textů na povahu vědění a jeho klasifikace - v tomto směru také analyzuje kartotéční systém Niklase Luhmanna coby trojrozměrné písmo, jímž je psána jeho teorie sociálních systémů., The review article of Markus Krajewski's Paper Ma- chines: About Cards & Catalogues, 1548-1929 (Cambridge - London: The MIT Press 2011) traces the con- ceptual history of the card catalogue while emphasizing the transforma- tion of library catalogues from bound and printed books into systems of standardized and mobile paper slips. It focuses primarily on the influence of material conditions of knowledge production on the nature of scientific knowledge and its classification - in this regard, it also analyzes the card catalogue system of Niklas Luhmann as an example of three-dimensional writing, in which his theory of social systems is written., and Tomáš Dvořák.
My aim is to assess an argument against final causation being an irreducible metaphysical category. The argument in question is based upon the supposition that for anything to count as a cause, it must exist at the very moment of executing its causal action, which requirement can supposedly never be met by anything rightly pretending to be called a final cause. I argue that this argument is far from conclusive as there seem to be ways of blocking it - namely through adopting either a version of the eternalist ontology of temporal dimensions, or else a version of the possibilist ontology, each combined with either a version of the "Humean" approach to analysis of causal relations, or else with a version of the realist approach to causation., Jan Palkoska., and Obsahuje poznámky a bibliografii
