A Few Remarks on Several Aspects of Aristotle's Conception of Science, with Special Regard to the Truth of So-Called Opinion

Miroslav Vlček

E-LOGOS 2025, 32(1)  

The article deals with certain aspects of Aristotle's understanding of science as understanding the "true picture of objective relationships/principles of phenomena and processes," which determines the topics of the individual notes/chapters of the article. What does Aristotle understand by truth? For him, truth is a matter of the reality being cognized, and at the same time the result of a specific intellectual activity consisting in dividing and reconnecting the image/view of the thing being cognized, the result of which is the determination – the definition of the thing. This is only possible if we already have a finished/perfect thing in...

Symptoms of Ideology? Towards an Inquiry of the OBE and Chat GPT

L. Z. B. Lamboloto

E-LOGOS 2025, 32(1)  

ChatGPT has gained a practical importance in aiding students with academic tasks, i.e., writing essays, synthesizing difficult theories, and generating ideas for class related projects. Recent observations and analysis of academics suggests that students rely significantly on artificial intelligence platforms like ChatGPT to ease the academic pressures of having to read long articles and original works, formulate and write essays for subjects that require submissions of reflective and argumentative papers. The goal of this paper, however, is not to critique the impact of ChatGPT in the classroom, but to argue that AI interfaces and platforms like this...

Beyond Mutual Recognition – Hegel’s Neglected Dark Side of Modern Family

Hegel rarely discussed problems which are commonly found in modern society despite his anthropologically nuanced philosophy, which treats the family, civil society and the state as the three highest moments in ethical life (Sittlichkeit). For Hegel, the family performs the functions of realisation of individual subjective freedom, performing deeds for the death, and the establishment...

An analysis of DeRose’s attributor contextualism as a response to scepticism

Ivan Tackie

E-LOGOS 2025, 32(1)  

This paper contends that attributor contextualism, as Keith DeRose advocates, fails to effectively address the challenges of scepticism. DeRose presents compelling approaches to addressing the sceptical problem. DeRose asserts that he has resolved the sceptical problem, going beyond merely addressing the concerns of sceptics. DeRose posits that contextualism has predominantly been formulated to address scepticism. To this end, this study examines how tenable DeRose responds to the sceptical challenge. The study is noteworthy as contextualism preserves the robustness and appeal of scepticism while asserting a resolution to the sceptical challenge. Ultimately,...
