1021. Journey as a Philosophical Topos in Early Romantic Literary Narratives : Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the JenaersMalwina Rolka, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: The motif of the journey is one of the most widespread and enduring themes in Western literature. It is also a universal and timeless philosophical topos that thinkers from various traditions and backgrounds have used since antiquity. This figure plays a special role in the works of the French and German Romantic pioneers Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the Jenaers (Novalis, Friedrich Schlegel, and Friedrich Hölderlin) who imbue literary narratives about journey with philosophical meaning. My aim is to reveal the shared conceptual foundation of these narratives and demonstrate significant connections between various manifestations of early Romantic thought in the French and German traditions. In the sections of the article, I explore the early Romantic literary figure of journey as the narrative basis for: the philosophical concept of education, the category of cognition/self-cognition in an anthropological context, and the first attempts to develop a modern model of historiosophy.
Keywords: journey, Romanticism, literature, education, anthropology, historiosophy

1022. The Latent Implications of Husserl's The idea of PhenomenologyIrakli Batiashvili, 2025, review article Abstract: The paper analyzes what new perspectives Edmund Husserl’s famous work The Idea of Phenomenology discloses for philosophical thought. I attempt to explain that the phenomenological epoché is not only a theoretical operation; epoché is, first of all, an existential act of a cardinal character; it denotes a crucial change, which concerns me, in particular, as the person who enters the unique space of phenomenological thinking. I accentuate Husserl’s reasoning regarding the so-called issue of obviousness (evidence) that is of key importance in phenomenology. Obviousness is not my subjective emotional attitude towards something; it is the self-givenness of the object, the direct grasp of the object in pure seeing. The interpretation shows that the method of phenomenological reduction excludes the main paradigm of our thinking: the subject–object split. Phenomenology deals neither with the consciousness of the subject nor with the factual objective reality, nor with their interrelationship, but with the field of pure self-givens. Within this field the self-constitution of the so-called external reality and of essential universals happens, as well as the self-manifestation of my subject or person. However, this field is within a certain totality, which limits it as a horizon: the happening (the event)—das Ereignis—of worldliness.

1023. Lamentation and Poetic Imagination of Psalm 22 : A Dialogue with Ricoeur on Secularization and Eschatological HopeRené Dentz, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Psalm 22, profoundly marked by lamentation and the transition to hope, offers an opportunity to explore the convergence between Paul Ricoeur’s biblical hermeneutics and contemporary challenges of secularization and the absence of eschatology. The contribution articulates the experience of abandonment described by the psalmist with the need for a poetic imagination capable of re-signifying existence. Ricoeur provides tools to understand the performativity of this psalm, bridging the tensions between narrative, metaphor, and the dynamic of “the power to be” inherent in biblical language.

1024. Tveganje družbe tveganjaDean Komel, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: V zadnjih desetletjih je bilo razpravi o »družbi tveganja« namenjeno veliko pozornosti tako v socioloških študijah kot pri kritični javnosti. Članek obravnava družbo tveganja v parametrih totalizacije družbene subjektivitete, ki briše horizont sveta in se v svojem opolnomočenju izkaže za nihilistično. Družba kot samovzpostavljajoča se družba ne sledi samo toku modernosti, ki v svojem neusmiljenem drsenju ne pride nikamor, temveč ga v funkciji lastne totalizacije kot takega anticipira. Družba tveganja kot »operativni koncept« predpostavlja aparat ekosociologije, ki v sebi povezuje eko-nomijo, eko-logijo, eko-religiologijo, eko-izobrazbo, eko-politiko, eko-vojskovanje, eko-tehnoznanost ter eko-inteligenco in je prevzel izvršilno funkcijo nadzora, tako da je vse postavljeno v moč funkcioniranja

1025. The Moment of Surprise and Dialogical Play : A Hermenutical Inquiry into the InterhumanDavid-Augustin Mândruț, 2025, review article Abstract: The contribution investigates the relationship between dialogue, time, and surprise. My proposal is that, in the case of dialogical face-to-face encounters, one ought to speak about a creative temporality. Such creative temporality is achieved by virtue of the moment of surprise, as it was thematized in the works of Martin Buber and Hans-Georg Gadamer. Although the two authors did not concern themselves necessarily with the issue of the temporality of dialogue, Henri Bergson’s scattered remarks on time and creativity might provide sufficient ground to delve into the question of the temporality of dialogue. In the present paper, I start with Claude Romano’s contemporary framework of “evential hermeneutics,” in which the author tackles the relation between temporality and surprise. The main aim of this article is to prove how dialogue, thanks to its playful character (Gadamer), renders possible the moment of surprise, and thereby, enables a deeper understanding to occur between I
and Thou (Buber).

1026. Phenomenology and Action Art : A Special Contribution to Phenomenology from the Czechoslovak EnvironmentJaroslava Vydrová, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: The aim of the contribution is to present one of the distinct examples of the development of phenomenological philosophy in Czechoslovakia against the background of dissident activities of intellectuals and artists in the second half of the 20th century. Although the situation in the Czech and the Slovak environments differs, some common tendencies involving phenomenology in the interpretation of artistic production can be seen; specifically, this concerned action art, performances, and happenings. In the text, I trace two areas of investigation. Firstly, we can find a range of common features between the phenomenological and the artistic practices that emerged in this period, concerning the exploration of the Self as well as issues of historicity. Secondly, the texts of the Czech philosopher and student of Jan Patočka Petr Rezek lead us to a phenomenological interpretation of these artworks. His contributions, dating from 1976 to 1981, can be counted among the very original and still today rare discussions of action art from the phenomenological perspective.

1027. Community Ending Phenomenologically ExplainedDragan Prole, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: When it comes to the concept of community in phenomenology, possibility holds a higher value than reality. The author emphasizes that a community becomes more attractive to its participants the broader the range of possibilities, which can be realized within it. On the other hand, the dynamic of a community is determined by the degree of alignment or misalignment between the changes of individuals and of their habitual patterns, and the habitualness of the community. When the two habitual patterns—the one of the community and the one of its participants—reach an irreconcilable antagonism, the end of the community is inevitable. Paradoxically, the ideal community is precisely the one whose members can relatively easily accept its dissolution. Unlike totalitarian forms of sociality, in which only the possibilities of the community are realized, but not those of the individuals, members of the ideal community manage to maintain awareness of their own possibilities, recognizing that no community is in the position to completely exhaust an individual’s potential. In the second part of the paper, the author presents three types of potential community dissolution, which arise from varying degrees of attachment to the possibilities that the community is capable of realizing.

1028. Über die Brunnentiefe eines Rätsels : Anmerkungen zur Frage nach der Tiefe des menschlichen Daseins im Denken Martin HeideggersJohannes Vorlaufer, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: On the Well Depth of an Enigma. Notes on the Question of the Depth of Human Existence in Martin Heidegger’s Thought
Heidegger did not conceive a “theory” of depth, but his ways of thinking may be characterized by his own withdrawal into the unimaginable, which is attempted to be understood as a move into the “depth.” The essay seeks to take up Heidegger’s hint to pay attention to the path and not the content. Is this a possible methodological approach to self-revealing as self-concealing? It requires us to think with the concept against the concept: because although thinking needs the concept, the conceptual is beyond the concept—it is “before” comprehension. At the same time, the treatise remains a torso, because every step on the way to thinking the depth is one too much and at the same time one too few. What opens up is an enigma. But perhaps in this way the basic idea of Being and Time can nonetheless be touched upon.

1029. „Rettung“ und „Gefahr“ : Zum „zweideutigen Wesen“ der TechnikPetar Šegedin, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: “Salvation” and “Danger.” On the “Dual Essence” of Technology
The paper discusses Heidegger’s thesis on the dual essence of technology from the text “The Question Concerning Technology.” The meaning of the thesis is manifested along the lines of a verse authored by Hölderlin as the co-belonging of danger (Gefahr) and salvation (Rettung) within the non-technical essence of technology. The non-technical essence of technology is first considered on the basis of the fundamental bond of revealing (Entbergen) and concealment (Verbergen) of the truth as an event (Ereignen) of both. The concept of Ge-stell as the essence of modern technology is, therefore, understood in the sense of the fully developed danger that is rooted in the very essence of truth, namely, as a concealment, which is itself concealed and which, precisely for that reason, constitutes the only support for the event of truth in the unfolding of immanent difference of revealing and concealment. Ultimately, it turns out that this salvific support belongs to the human being, who, by confronting the Ge-stell within itself, opens the possibility of liberating the event of truth as the nontechnical essence of Ge-stell.

1030. Unlocking Borders : Albanian Literature in TranslationMimoza Hasani Pllana, 2025, professional article Abstract: The article analyzes the development and challenges of Albanian literary translation within the Balkan and European contexts, emphasizing the interplay between translation practices, cultural identity, and social influences. Historically, Albanian literature faced significant barriers to international dissemination due to political isolation under the communist regime in Albania and the restrictive environment in Kosovo during the Yugoslav rule. These conditions hindered the growth of translation efforts, resulting in limited exposure of Albanian literary works to foreign audiences. The post-1990 period, following the fall of communism in Albania and the end of the Kosovo War in 1999, marked a revival of literary translation spurred on by the opening of borders, increased cultural exchange, and renewed interest in Albanian literature. Despite these advances, the field continues to face challenges, such as the shortage of translators and the linguistic complexity inherent in translating Albanian. The study employs a comparative analysis of translation practices, integrating qualitative interviews with translators of Albanian literature and examining case studies, in order to investigate how translation navigates the intersections of language, identity, and power in disseminating Albanian literature.
Keywords: Albanian literature, literary translation, language and identity, translation challenges
