History of philosophy 3221-30HF21K
During the lecture of the history of philosophy, I try to present:
1) the emergence of the thought of the world in the rational intention from mythological and religious thinking;
2) variation within the original ontology to materialistic and idealistic ontology (Democritus and Plato), and within the original epistemology - the empiricist and rationalist, and the first synthesis of these directions, made by Aristotle;
3) the emergence of humanist thought (ethics), autonomous towards the knowledge of the nature (Sophists and Socrates);
4) meeting of the religious and philosophical thoughts, Athens and Jerusalem, his Platonic phase (Augustine) and Aristotle (Thomas);
5) liberation of modern science from the chains of theocentric metaphysics (Galileo);
6) critique of metaphysics (Hume, Kant);
7) the defense of humanist thought before the annexation by the scientism (contemporary analytic and hermeneutic philosophy, the early Wittgenstein versus early Heidegger);
8) contemporary Kantianism in social philosophy as a reaction to Hegel-Marks historicism: Rawls and Habermas.
