Jürgen Habermas (1929), jeden z najuniverzálnejších a najvplyvnejších filozofov dvadsiateho storočia. Svojím dielom ovplyvnil nielen súčasnú filozofiu, ale aj sociálne vedy, politológiu, právo a ekonómiu. Je spolutvorcom koncepcie moderných sociálnych demokracií a jeho obsiahla tvorba sa sústreďuje predovšetkým na problémy slobodnej komunikácie a racionality ako základov modernej spoločnosti a jej riadenia. Je významným kritikom sociálnych vied, v ktorých vidí dôležitý zdroj spoločenských a politických kríz modernity. Kniha Leslieho Howa šírkou záberu a zrozumiteľnosťou výkladu nemá zatiaľ v slovenskom ani v českom jazyku obdobu. Autor sa v nej venuje najmä tým myšlienkam J. Habermasa, ktoré významným spôsobom ovplyvnili súčasnú filozofiu, sociológiu a politické vedy. Týkajú sa kritiky poznania a poznávacieho subjektu v klasickom filozofickom a vedeckom myslení, vývoja teórie diskurzívnej etiky, jej úlohy pri zdôvodňovaní sociálneho konania a inštitúcií, aj Habermasovej reakcie na súčasnú kritiku modernity a osvietenského projektu. Tento text je určený predovšetkým tým, ktorí sa usilujú pochopiť zmysel Habermasovho diela a jeho vplyv na súčasné myslenie.

NOAM CHOMSKY (1928), jazykovedec, filozof, kultúrny kritik a politický aktivista. Napísal viac ako sedemdesiat kníh a vyše tisíc článkov. Patrí medzi desať najcitovanejších autorov všetkých čias. Jeho teória jazykovej kompetencie, ako vrodenej, biologickej charakteristiky človeka tvorí jeden zo základov súčasnej kognitívnej vedy. Základnou myšlienkou, ktorá spája Chomského vedeckú prácu s jeho politickými aktivitami je, že všetko čo robíme, ako komunikujeme, ako poznávame svet vyplýva z našej ľudskej prirodzenosti. Tvorivosť, túžba po slobode a schopnosť spolupracovať sú vpísané do našej biologickej prirodzenosti rovnako ako schopnosť vytvárať nekonečné množstvo zmysluplných viet z konečného množstva slov, podľa malého počtu pravidiel.

On Popper
Mark A. Notturno
4,0(2)Ohodnotit
ON POPPER, like other titles in the Wadsworth Philosopher's Series, offers a concise, yet comprehensive, introduction to this philosopher's most important ideas. Presenting the most important insights of well over a hundred seminal philosophers in both the Eastern and Western traditions, the Wadsworth Philosophers Series contains volumes written by scholars noted for their excellence in teaching and for their well-versed comprehension of each featured philosopher's major works and contributions. These titles have proven valuable in a number of ways. Serving as standalone texts when tackling a philosophers' original sources or as helpful resources for focusing philosophy students' engagements with these philosopher's often conceptually daunting works, these titles have also gained extraordinary popularity with a lay readership and quite often serve as "refreshers" for philosophy instructors.
