20.500.12556/DiRROS-25164 Between Critique and Affirmation Blaustein’s Functional Metaphysics of Culture Med kritiko in afirmacijo Blausteinova funkcionalna metafizika kulture The article reconsiders Leopold Blaustein’s philosophy by focusing on his critical stance toward metaphysics. While Witold Płotka interprets Blaustein as a philosopher of metaphysical neutrality, I argue that Blaustein should rather be seen as a critic of metaphysical idealism who nonetheless develops a minimal and functional form of metaphysical reflection. This reflection is grounded not in ontological assumptions, but in the implicit meaningfulness of anthropological experience. The article examines four domains—intentionality, humanistic psychology, aesthetics, and education—and includes a final boundary-case analysis of religious spirituality, in order to clarify the scope and limits of Blaustein’s functional metaphysics. Drawing on his critique of Ingarden and his own educational writings, I argue that Blaustein’s philosophy ultimately points toward a non-speculative, yet normatively rich conception of culture and value. His project, although critical of traditional metaphysics, remains open to a constructive transformation of metaphysical thinking rooted in human experience and practical reason. Članek filozofijo Leopolda Blausteina pretresa tako, da se osredotoča na njegovo kritično držo glede metafizike. Medtem ko Witold Płotka Blausteina interpretira kot filozofa metafizične nevtralnosti, jaz zagovarjam mnenje, da moramo Blausteina videti kot kritika metafizičnega idealizma, ki obenem vendar razvije minimalno in funkcionalno obliko metafizične refleksije. Tovrstna refleksija ne temelji na ontoloških predpostavkah, temveč na implicitni pomenljivosti antropološkega izkustva. Članek obravnava štiri področja – intencionalnost, humanistično psihologijo, estetiko in izobraževanje – in nazadnje obsega analizo mejnega primera religiozne spiritualnosti, da bi tako razjasnil domet in meje Blausteinove funkcionalne metafizike. Sklicujoč se na njegovo kritiko Ingardna in na njegove pedagoške spise, trdim, da Blausteinova filozofija navsezadnje izpričuje nespekulativno, a normativno bogato pojmovanje kulture in vrednote. Četudi kritičen glede tradicionalne metafizike, Blausteinov projekt ostaja odprt za konstruktivno transformacijo metafizičnega mišljenja, kakršno je zakoreninjeno v človeškem izkustvu in praktičnem umu.
