On Sartres Ontology and Metaphysics

Ján Pavlík

Acta Oeconomica Pragensia 2005, 13(5):9-22 | DOI: 10.18267/j.aop.216  

Sartre's ontology is not only self-contradictory in many respects but also heavily burdened by the heritage of Aristotelian and Cartesian metaphysics. This results in the principal incompatibility of Sartre's allegedly phenomenological analyses of the relations between être pour soi and être en soi with the advancements of modern evolutionary and self-organisation theories. Being under a massive influence of Cartesian constructivist rationalism, Sartre fails to present an adequate phenomenolgical description of human emotions, too; this failure becomes explicit especially in comparison with Hume's and Smith's theory of moral sentiments...

Body and Others

Jiří Vaněk

Acta Oeconomica Pragensia 2005, 13(5):38-43 | DOI: 10.18267/j.aop.223  

The theme of this study is the concept of body in the book of J.-P. Sartre Being and Nothingness. There are three ontological dimensions: 1. the body as "being-for itself", as total center ofreference which things indicate, 2. "the body-for-others" and 3. how I exist for myself as a body knownby Other. By Sartre the nature of "our body for us" entirely escapesus to the extent that we can take upon it the Other's point of view.

Kant - Sartre and back

Peter Bolcha

Acta Oeconomica Pragensia 2005, 13(5):61-71 | DOI: 10.18267/j.aop.229  

Author is trying to find parallels between philosophers I. Kant and J. P. Sartre. The latter used Kant's categorical imperative in significantly different way. According to Sartre, we are not only "sentenced to freedom", but every our act is human act and means a "message" to all human beings. The paper reveals and poses the questions that imply from this shift in philosophical understanding of human freedom and morality.

Man, philosopher and artist in Jean-Paul Sartre

Libor Drlík

Acta Oeconomica Pragensia 2005, 13(5):72-85 | DOI: 10.18267/j.aop.231  

The focus of this paper is on the intersection of Jean-Paul Sartre's existential philosophy concept of human being, his aesthetic theory and consequent art production. After a short outline of his conception of human existence the first part introduces Sartre's aesthetic views on art considered in two different and to a great extent antithetical forms: as an existential appeal to a situated freedom of man and on the other hand as a temporary escape from the real situation to the world of imagination. The purpose of the first part is to prove that this differentiation of arts, contrasting commited literature with poetry and all other kinds of imaginary...

A Shade of Philosophy or Kierkegaard and Spinoza

Martin Hemelík

Acta Oeconomica Pragensia 2005, 13(5):86-101 | DOI: 10.18267/j.aop.233  

The article sets out to reconstruct the Kierkegaard's critique of the demonstrations of God's existence by B. Spinoza. The Danish thinker elected the ideas of the Dutch philosopher for that reason that the spinozistic demonstrations represented the metaphysical approaches to the question of the God's existence.M. Hemelík inquires into a rightfulness of this critique and he arrives at the conclusion that Kierkegaard's critique has not the desired effect because the philosophical positions of both thinkers are absolutely different.Nevertheless the collation of Spinoza's and Kierkegaard's ideas about the God's existence is very remarkable and...

Anna Hogenová

Acta Oeconomica Pragensia 2005, 13(5):102-113 | DOI: 10.18267/j.aop.234  

In the article "To the Phenomenon of Inwardness by Kierkegaard and Heidegger" seeks to show the problem of authenticity of our life at a modern time. The levelling of our life from the existencial point of view creates in the thinking of both philosophersvery important and identical base of their inquiry. "Das Man" from Heidegger's point of view and the levelling from Kierkegaard's point of view are very similar and create the modern foundation of existencial philosophy.

Biblical Aspects of Kierkegaard's Abraham Story Presentation

Miroslav Vlček

Acta Oeconomica Pragensia 2005, 13(5):122-134 | DOI: 10.18267/j.aop.238  

Kierkegaard presesents Abraham Story as an example of faith (CREDO) as an immediate (free from reason mediation) religious relation(engagement, binding) to God. This type of relation (like any other) consists in partikular aspects (subject and object of relation, relation basic and relation itself). Presented artikle is aimed at explication of particular aspects of God (as understood by patriarchs in Izrael), mainly concractual nature of religious relation, exemplified via Abraham Story (Isaac sacrifice etc.). Explication is used to make more explicit hidden presuppositions of Kirkegaard's interpretation of Abraham's son sacrifice as well as its relevance...
