Istnienie i czas w filozofii SpinozyIn Filozofia XVII wieku – twórcy, problemy, kontynuacje, Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika. 2011.Existence and Time in the Philosophy of Spinoza In Ethics, Spinoza distinguishes the existence and duration/time. He connects the first one with the necessity of validity of eternal, constant logical thruth, the second one - with a mean by which ratio orders in the mind the relations between the ideas occuring in the perceptions and recollections. The proper understanding of both of these terms is one of the conditions of archeving the aims of Ethics, praeclara animi aequiescentia, a breath of t…Read more

O czym traktuje Spinozjańska teoria afektów?In Stanisław Janeczek (ed.), Oblicza filozofii XVII wieku, Wydawn. Kul. 2000.Wovon handelt Spinozas Affektentheorie Der Begriff des Affekts ist aus der Umgangsprache verschwunden und durch die Ausdrucke wie "Gefuhl", "Emotion" abgelost worden. Spinozas Auffassung, die er in seiner "Ethik" ausgearbeitet hat, verliert infolgedessen an Verstandlichkeit und ist heute ganz vergessen, obgleich die Spinoza-Kenner standig die theoretische Tragweite und die Aktualitat mancher seiner Vorschlage unterstreichen. Spinoza warnte seine Leser davor, den Menschen als ein abgesondertes, a…Read more

Truth of a Work of Art (Comments on "The Origin of the Work of Art" by M. Heidegger)Acta Universitatis Nicolai Copernici 264 107-122. 1993.Heidegger's esthetic proposal refers in a sense to the Aristotelian traditon where all phenomena, including esthetic ones, are investigated in the categories of matter and form. Heidegger, however, introduces his own terminology instead of the traditional notions: he speaks of "earth" instead of matter and the conception of form is replaced by "world". The Aristotelian connection of both factors which grounds reality of fenomena, go "The Origin..." form of "dispute", deciding of coming into bein…Read more

2The notion of substance in Spinoza’s Ethics and a problem with its interpretationArchiwum Historii Filozofii I Myśli Społecznej 55 91-100. 2010.Spinoza searched for a language that could help him to create a monistic system of ethics. Latin was in the 17th century a fairly malleable medium of communication. In its philosophical use it was largely a creation of Descartes. Spinoza wanted to use it in a way that would resemble Euclid's treatment of geometry. He needed a language that would clearly and precisely describe the process by which a man could liberate himself from the power of affection that hamper naturaly propensity for social …Read more

1The "Essential Thought" of Martin Heidegger as a Continuation of Nietzsche's Philosophy of TimeStudia Filozoficzne 218 (1): 69-84. 1984.This article is a summation of work devoted to the main themes of Heidegger's and Nietzsche's philosophies.

A comparative analysis of the "essential" themes of the two philosophers shows, however, that questions which were undoubtedly most essential for Nietzsche are compeltely …Read more
