This volume presents a dialectic-idealist overview of natural language and natural (non-artificial) thinking. Pauli Pylkkö’s view is thoroughly non-classical and takes ambiguity and contradictoriness as vital and inalienable properties of all speaking and thinking. The main function of a sentence is to change the meanings of the words which occur in the sentence, not communication of pre-existing facts. In processing the intended meaning change, sentences resort to experiential word meanings which are preconceptual and ambiguous, and therefore prone to generate contradictions. This (considerably modified) Hegelian view has been inspired by Jung-Pauli co-operation and is designed to serve also as a framework for ’quantum-friendly’ linguistics and cognitive science. The framework helps to explain how unforeseen meanings can arise from a genuinely holistic, partly unconscious, and perpetually changing experiential source.
This paper examines the interpretation of philosophical preconceptions as a central activity of teaching philosophy. Complementing approaches that focus primarily on learners’ preconceptions as starting points of inquiry, it develops an account of the epistemic structure of the teacher’s interpretive activity.

Against the widespread tendency to frame the Austro-Polish debates through the metaphysical opposition realism/idealism, it argues that the deci...

The Russell‐Myhill paradox targeting the structuralist view of proposition in classical higher‐order logic is blocked by implementing restrictions associated with an ordinary account of predicativity. However, it has been shown that these restrictions are not safe: “revenge” versions of the paradox show the inconsist...
The article investigates the phenomenological appropriation of the Aristotelian concepts of phrónesis (practical wisdom) and euboulía (good deliberation-making) carried out by Martin Heidegger in his lecture course Plato's Sophist (1924–1925). Departing from strictly moral, formal, or traditional exegetical interpretat...
