Abstract:

The aim of this text is a critical reflection on historical-axiological relativism. According to the thesis of the work, the (possible) relativity of moral values does not entail relativism. In other words: one can affirm the relativity (in some aspects) of moral values or morality itself, while rejecting the relativistic view of moral values. The article applies analytical methods. First of all, the above-mentioned methods serve to highlight the constitutive properties of moral values (in particular other-planning), and later to reconstruct the structure of relativistic concepts.

Abstract:

A brief overview of the emergence of the relativistic challenge to the so-called “exact” natural sciences, such as mathematics and physics, is followed by an analysis of the crisis that Husserl experienced in questioning rationalism. Against the background of a systematic distinction between modal laws and type laws, the pervasive influence of modern nominalism is identified as the root cause of the problems of relativism as it opened the way to the so-called Copernican turn in epistemology. The crucial and constant conditions required in every assertion of relativity are highlighted, particul

Abstract:

Elkana's paper “Two-Tier Thinking” (1978) contains the thesis that became the foundation of all his later work. This thesis is best summarized by the author himself:The thesis of this paper is that this distinction [between realists and relativists] is not a logical necessity but a historical situation in Western scientific culture. It is claimed here that the distinction is spurious: every problem has a realist and a relativist dimension, and the two views can be, and are actually being, held simultaneously. Once a frame of reference has been selected, in it realism prevails. With respect to

The research methodology involves the use of the systematic approach, synthesis of logical and historical approaches, and the diachronic method. The semantic connections within cultural relativism are revealed with the help of the systematic approach. The synthesis of l

Abstract:

Abstract The existence of differing historical interpretations of the same happenings and the consequences of this phenomenon have attracted scholarly attention and deserve to be studied in the future by philosophers of history. Plurality repeatedly surfaces in historical discussions and relativism seems to be one of the obvious conclusions drawn from the existence of competing historical accounts. In my paper, I begin with plurality in history to examine further the issue of relativism. I focus on the dualism of scheme and content as being at the root of relativity and subsequently argue that

Abstract This article seeks to reconcile a historicist sensitivity to how intellectually virtuous behavior is shaped by historical contexts with a non-relativist account of historical scholarship. To that end, it distinguishes between hierarchies of intellectual virtues and hierarchies of intellectual goods. The first hierarchy rejects a one-size-fits-all model of historical virtuousness in favor of a model that allows for significant varieties between the relative weight that historians must assign to intellectual virtues in order to acquire justified historical understanding.

Abstract:

Social science has in the past granted much credence to two forms of relativism: cognitive relativism and cultural relativism. These two forms constitute the major components of postmodernism. Why do we believe so easily the arguments put forward by both cognitive and cultural relativism? Suspect arguments are often hyperbolical versions of valid ideas. Cognitive relativism rests on the efforts made, from the work of the Vienna Circle to that of Popper, to identify general criteria by which to differentiate between science and non-science. It also rests on sound studies of the history of scien

We argue that the opposition between relativism and reason can be fully grasped only from an eschatological standpoint.

But the eschatological meaning of postmodernity is ultimately an epochal confusion that will culminate in a “church without an essence”.

That is true whether one goes back to the modern roots of relativism, in the historical and anthropological perspectives which began to flourish in the eighteenth century; or even further back, to the rather similar development from prehypenSocratic anthropological speculation to the Sophistic discussions which took place in fifthhypencentury Athens.

The literature uses terms such as “absolutism,” “relativism,” “Whig history,” “thick history,” “historical reconstructions,” “rational reconstructions,” and “presentism,” frequently arguing that one of these approaches is better than one or more of the others. In warning historians of economics against sin, they typically define sin in absolute terms. This is particula

Abstract:

В статье проанализированы теоретические аспекты применения постструктуралистского текстового анализа, предложенного Р. Бартом, в изучении историографии. Показано, что прямое заимствование постструктуралистских практик непродуктивно, поскольку они предполагают релятивизм в истолковании текста. Рассмотрена возможность ограничения подхода Барта структуралистским понятием кода, который следует искать в рамках культурной ситуации, хронологически соответствовавшей времени создания историографического источника. С учетом понятия кода применение постструктуралистского анализа позволяет получить информ

Abstract:

Until the seventies, Karl Barth's picture of Ernst Troeltsch (1865–1923) dominated the Anglo-phone reception of Troeltsch. In this reading, Troeltsch is the last of the great liberal protestant theologians who endeavoured to save Christianity by romanticising the Enlightenment. But that was Barth's Troeltsch. The past twenty years of Troeltsch studies have undermined this hegemonic view to recover a proto—postmodern thinker who recognised the profound cultural implications of the epistemological views embedded in modern science as in history and sociology. For Troeltsch the implications of epi

Abstract:

The neoromantic and modern Polish culture was the source of Andrzej Kijowski’s literary imagination. His symbols, myths, as well as generally speaking constructivism and historicism were shaped by the specific Polish past. As a result, this author paradoxically was both constructivist and anti-constructivist. His philosophy was changing during his life but there is no strict line of evolu-tion. At the same time, in different proportions, historical relativism and metaphysical essentialism coincided in Kijowski’s thinking.

Abstract:

Most historians know Robert Lowe (1811–1892) as W. E. Gladstone's first Chancellor (1868–73) and the leading orator against the Reform Bill of 1867. Educationists to this day criticize or praise his Revised Code of 1862, which introduced payment by results in schools. Historians of economic thought add Lowe's critique of relativism (evinced by his views on Ireland) and his stridently classical statements of the role of political economy from his later dispute with the English historical school.

Abstract:

Globalisation of musicology and music history aims to fuse the divisions created during Western music?s acme, and is referred to as ?post-European historical thinking?. Therefore, ?post? and ?pre? European historical thinking have much in common. One aspect of this process of fragmentation was that music history was separated from theory and that Western Music Histories succeeded General Music Histories (a development described in some detail in the article). Connecting global music history with ?post-European? historical thinking is one among numerous indications of Western awareness that Eur

Abstract:

The article is dedicated to the philosophy of Evald Ilyenkov, its historical and cultural context and its relevance today. Ilyenkov is known for his original solution to the problem of the ideal within the framework of Marxism. The concept of the ideal is the center of his philosophical teaching, from which he draws pedagogical, psychological, and aesthetic conclusions. In Soviet times, the concept of the ideal by Ilyenkov caused a discussion, in which David Dubrovsky opposed the philosopher and his school, defending the “subjectivity of the ideal.” In our opinion, this dispute reflected the o

This article addresses common misconceptions about the historic abuse of children in Victoria during the mid-twentieth century, including those contained in the 2006 official Victorian Government apology to state wards. The article has two aims – firstly, to consider allegations of abuse and some common reactions to, and explanations of those allegations; and, secondly, to test the abuse allegations against the 1954 and 1960 Victorian Children's Welfare Regulations concerning the use of corporal punishment in Children's Homes. The author contends that historical relativism and the notion that

Abstract:

- Historical knowledge is tied in a thousand ways to the anxieties, conflicts, to antinomies and to the demands of our era. It is in the name of our present that interrogates the past. It possesses a degree of expressive character: voicing the present where one is born and lives. So, therefore the historian is not an impartial and static observer of the past and the ever-dominate present. He must remain in the perspective of the present-day and the historical moment in which he lives. But no «present» is ever really finished. One might think that no moral code is consistent with the principle

Abstract:

Abstract A family-resemblance approach to categorisation, such as that developed by Wittgenstein, provides a basis for conceiving how various historical types of ‘anger’ can be recognised as similar despite their variability and lack of core defining features. Thomas Dixon’s essay applies this approach in a way that avoids radical relativism and acknowledges general human emotional capabilities. His approach may arguably be extended to commonalities between emotions of humans and animals, which would have interesting implications for the history of emotion.

Abstract:

Abstract Hayden White’s Metahistory is best known for its “theory of tropes”; but Metahistory also put forward a distinct “theory of the historical work”, which has received rather less attention, and indeed has tended to be swallowed up by White’s tropology. This is a symptom of a wider problem, that the theory has been apprehended in paraphrase and synopsis rather than in the terms in which it was actually articulated. This paper seeks to redress these oversights through an exegetical analysis, embracing the structure of the theory, its rhetoric, and its relationship to the “theory of tropes

Abstract:

As a core form of deconstructive historical philosophy in the 20th century, the nihilism of historical subject dismantles historical necessity by negating the reality of the subject and objective laws. From the dual perspectives of tracing its intellectual genealogy and critiquing it through the lens of historical materialism, this theory has undergone three major transformations: the relativism of Neo-Kantianism, the linguistic turn of structuralism, and the discursive reconstruction of postmodernism. Through a strategy of decentralization, it obscures the agency of the subject and absolutize
