The second section will outline Hobbes’ conception of philosophy and his causal materialism. Section 3 will deal briefly with Hobbes’ discussion of sensation and then present his views on the nature and function of language and how reason depends upon language. Section 4 portrays his views about the material world; Section 5 deals with nature of man; and the 6th section with the artificial body of the commonwealth and the means of its creation. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/21500 Hermeneutyczna charakterystyka pojęcia „Lebenswelt” w fenomenologii Edmunda Husserla Furman, Marcin The subject of this are the considerations concerning the “late” period of Edmund Husserl’s output and the notion of Lebenswelt. Husserl believes that any scientific knowledge, unlike analyses of common experience, requires new formal specification. Ipso facto cognitive absoluteness and its objectivity in a form of the “thing-in-itself” is moved to the background. A man cannot reach definitive cognition in this manner. Therefore cognition of life is the matter of principle. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/21499 Metoda korelacji w myśli filozoficznej Paula Tillicha Bogdalczyk, Maciej The purpose of this text is to reconstruct Paul Tillich’s thought concerning the contemporary issue resulting from the relation between theology and philosophy. The questions to be stated are: Is it possible to establish conditions for theology and philosophy to coexist? If so, where is their source? I am going to show the relation between philosophy and theology in the context of a seeking existence that happens to be a human being, with regards to God who answers human questions. In this paper I will try to present Tillich’s thought based on the hermeneutical way of understanding the symbol, which would make the Revelation being more available and comprehensible for humans. This would result as well in better and more aware understanding of what a human being really is. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/21498 Wolność Boga w tworzeniu obrazu wiedzy ludzkiej a wolność człowieka do jej przyjmowania jako zagadnienie w filozofii R. Descartes’a Śliwiński, Tomasz The topic of freedom in Descartes’ philosophy is usually being connected with human freedom. It is understood in the traditional perspective of distinguishing right from wrong and truth from false. This aspect is, in my opinion, sufficiently explained. The same applies to Descartes’ ethics, connections of which with Antiquity were often mentioned. In the paper I bring up quite different issue. It rests on the question what it means that God creates the truth and what consequences it has for human validity (and necessity) of recognizing and receiving it, what is its status and, finally, how it reconfigures the relation between God and the man. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z
