LECTURE Philosophy in Slovakia has a specific receptive character, but that does not mean that it is epigonic and not able to establish its own way. Several receptions of the European philosophy in Slovakia have been characterized by ability of creative re-interpretation, productive application and modification, which has given rise to several specifically Slovak variants of peak movements and concepts of the European philosophy in individual periods. After 1989, conditions for the plurality of philosophical movements were created and because of this, pluralism thinking in Slovakia is once more confirmed as a part of European intellectual space. The aim of the course is to introduce the most typical features of Slovak philosophy which has its grounds in ideological and methodological connection to then relevant movements and concepts of European philosophy. CLASSES Main aim of the classes is to introduce position of philosophy and philosophers in Slovakia in the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century, when social context for philosophy was created by totalitarian regimes of fascistic and communist provenance. Then, Slovaks and Czechs had been part of one state for 74 years, what significantly influenced philosophical and theological thinking. This influence will be introduced in broader philosophical, scientific, cultural and social context, but the main emphasis will be on philosophical reflection of education as point of departure from crisis (Palouš) and its ethical, social and ecological impact. |
