MIND AND ONTOLOGICAL SPACE. A CRITICAL OUTLINE IN MODAL EPISTEMOLOGY

H. Filipczyk

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 1 > 69-85

The paper focuses on one of the problems haunting contemporary thought about possible worlds - namely, that of the relation between conceivability and possibility. 'Conceivability arguments' (based on the premise that the conceivability of a given situation implies its possibility) are often used carelessly, not being properly rooted in any explicit and full-fledged ontology. In the paper the reasons...

THE DEATHS OF GOD

J. Lobocki

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 1 > 149-179

The main issue of the article is the death of God. This topic holds an important place in the philosophy of Nietzsche. Bringing man to atheism is not, however, his most important idea. This idea is to bridge the gap between critical thinking and positive proposals, which are not absent from his philosophy. This idea is a new beginning for the philosophy of man and the ethics of responsibility. The...

THE TYPOLOGY OF METAETHICAL POSITIONS AND CONTEMPORARY NONCOGNITIVISM

K. Saja

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 1 > 27-47

In this paper the author presents and criticizes the classical typology of metaethics, which is based on the distinction between cognitivism and noncognitivism. Using this typology, which emerged in the first half of the twentieth century, one cannot classify many contemporary metaethical position adequately. This is due to the fact that these concepts confuse the contents of four independent metaethical...

THE COMPUTER EXPERIMENT - THE SOURCE OF MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE

K. Wojtowicz

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 1 > 87-104

In the article, the status of the computer proof of the four-color theorem is discussed. After a short survey of contemporary literature, the general status of the mathematical proof (as an idealized logical procedure versus a part of mathematical practice) is discussed. The solution of the problem of the computer proof, which amounts to accepting the four-color theorem as a new axiom justified by...

PHYSICAL MONADOLOGY AS KANT'S POSITION IN THE DISPUTE WITH LEIBNIZ AND NEWTON

J Sytnik-Czetwertynski

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 1 > 106-119

Immanuel Kant covered problems which had not been developed by his predecessors because it was necessary for him to prepare an alternative system (e.g. he strived to point out what the ether was in Meditations of fire, which had not been mentioned by Newton, while in his study 'Thoughts on the True Estimation of Living Forces' he attempted to establish the law of the living forces, which had not been...

article

NIETZSCHE OR ARISTOTLE

S. Lojek

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 1 > 121-148

The aim of this paper is to describe and compare the mysterious and controversial virtue of 'megalopsychia' (literally 'greatness of soul'), which Aristotle discusses in Book 4 of the 'Nicomachean Ethics', with Nietzsche's well-known, though sometimes ill-reputed, 'ethical' conception of 'Übermensch'. The author tries to bring out their similarities and show that they both can be seen as an alternative...

ARE POSSIBLE WORLDS POSSIBLE ?

L. Hess

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 1 > 49-67

David Lewis' modal realism is, in the author's opinion, one of the simplest and most useful theories of possible worlds. Nevertheless, it is not free of serious problems. In particular, important arguments against it have been endorsed by Forrest, Armstrong, and King. The answers to these arguments that were proposed either by Lewis himself or by other philosophers are not entirely satisfactory. Therefore,...

article

ON THE RECOVERY OF THE SPEECH OF THE IMAGE. PHENOMENOLOGY AND HERMENEUTICS ON CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ART

R. Solewski

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 1 > 5-26

The text reminds us of the acceptance of phenomenological analysis in hermeneutic interpretation, although phenomenological philosophers resist contextual hermeneutic interpretation as the inclusion of external elements into the analyzed object. Taking into consideration Ricoeur's reflection on the role of 'époche' as an analytic tool necessary to start interpretation and to lead the experience of...

article

INGARDEN AND THE PUZZLE OF MATERIAL CONSTITUTION

T. Kakol

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 2 > 45-62

In this paper the author would like to present the current research in contemporary analytic philosophy related to the so-called problem of material constitution. This topic was investigated in ancient philosophy, as evidenced by such old puzzles as the Ship of Theseus puzzle, Chrisippus's Dion and Theon, and the Debtor Paradox (also known as the Growing Argument). In addition, Gibbard's fairly contemporary...

THE MEANING OF INTENTIONAL EXPRESSIONS IN WITTGENSTEIN'S LATER PHILOSOPHY

E. Czesna

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 2 > 141-157

The issue of intentionality occurs in Wittgenstein's later philosophy in at least two contexts. In the first one, the author of the 'Philosophical Investigations' approaches the classical problem of thoughts referring to reality, showing that the relationship between thought and reality is a matter of grammar. The second context concerns the concept of intention connected with human actions, both...

article

LANGUAGE AND PROCESS. INGARDEN'S THEORY OF LANGUAGE AND ONTOLOGY

M. Piwowarczyk

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 2 > 37-44

This paper is devoted to Ingarden's discussion of a possible criticism of language that could be presented by philosophers who deny the existence of solid things that endure in time and retain their identity. Such a possible view is called 'antireism'. Antireists could argue that language distorts reality because we use names to denote processes. In doing so we treat them as objects which have the...

article

THE COGNITION OF PURELY INTENTIONAL OBJECTS

J. Krokos

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 2 > 15-23

Roman Ingarden devoted many of his philosophical works to the question of purely intentional objects. According to him, works of art are such objects. He investigated their ontological and epistemological aspects. Taking inspiration from his remarks on the cognition of purely intentional objects, and referring to Edmund Husserl's investigations, this paper sketches a general scheme of the cognition...

article

MUSIC AS AN OPEN CREATION. ON THE IDENTITY OF MUSICAL COMPOSITION

J. Jusiak

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 2 > 179-200

The article puts forward arguments that challenge the legitimacy of the ontological interpretation of music worked out by Roman Ingarden. This interpretation assumes that the existential, aesthetic, and axiological nature of music is determined by the ideal structure of a musical composition, independent of the real world and existing as an element of the transcendental consciousness that defines...

article

ONTOLOGY VERSUS METAPHYSICS: THE POLEMIC BETWEEN STANISLAW IGNACY WITKIEWICZ AND ROMAN INGARDEN

M. Dombrowski

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 2 > 81-92

The article presents two competitive concepts of studying philosophy. The first, proposed by Roman Ingarden, is rooted in phenomenology and highlights the division between ontology and metaphysics; the second is a proposal of Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz which combines both of these elements. The analyses are based on the correspondence between these two philosophers.

article

HUSSERL'S AND INGARDEN'S CONCEPTION OF THE COGNITIVE IMPASSE

A. Chadzynski

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 2 > 93-99

The main thesis of this paper is that, in their epistemological views, both Husserl and Ingarden accept two non-controversial theses that lead to logico-ontological problems. One of them is the conception of the intentionality of consciousness. The second is the conception of cognition as a synthesis of identification. The acceptance of both at the same time does not seem to be controversial at first...

DIFFERENCES IN THE STRUCTURE OF A WORK OF ART ACCORDING TO INGARDEN AND HARTMANN

L. Kopciuch

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 2 > 101-114

On several occasions Roman Ingarden accused Hartmann of using his ideas concerning the stratified structure of a work of art. In this paper, thw aurhor shows that the dependence between the two concepts has no genetic character. First of all, Hartmann formulated general solutions about such objects before Ingarden published 'Das literarische Kunstwerk'. Already in the 'Grundzüge einer Metaphysik der...

article

INGARDEN'S REALISM

A. Poltawski

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 2 > 5-14

In his attempt to analyze the problem of realism, Ingarden started from the Husserlian distinction between the world and 'pure consciousness'. Nevertheless, he rejected all the ontological - or rather metaphysical - features attributed to consciousness by Husserl, while at the same time he was convinced of the indubitability of our knowledge of the basic characteristics of it as a sort of being existent...

UNDER THE INSPIRATION OF ROMAN INGARDEN'S AXIOLOGY. WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT VALUES

M. Golaszewska

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 2 > 115-122

Referring to Ingarden's treatise 'What we do not know about values', the author attempts to define the limits of our knowledge about values. We know that values must be founded in reality. They appear in the context of an axiological situation which consists, on the one hand, of human experiences, intentions, and decisions, and, on the other hand, of processes and structures in the world that can...

article

ABSTRACTION, VARIATION, AND GENERALIZATION

A. Rygalski

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 2 > 63-79

Ingarden's understanding of generalization, that is, the operation of abstraction by variation, is placed in the historical context of the dispute between Berkeley and Locke, and is directed at Husserl's conception. The following take part in the determination of the conditions of generalization: unilateral dependence, constitutive nature and the shape/state.

METAPHYSICAL QUALITIES IN A LITERARY WORK OF ART

W. Tomaszewska

Kwartalnik Filozoficzny > 2008 > 36 > 2 > 123-131

The problem of metaphysical qualities plays an important role in Roman Ingarden's concept of a literary work of art. In his ontology, such a work of art is understood as an integral whole consisting of various layers and qualities. According to Ingarden, metaphysical qualities are revealed in the layer of featured objects. However, is the layer of featured objects an indispensable condition for revealing...
