The Ukrainian translation strategy this work proposed by the authors aims to ensure adequacy in meaning while maximizing the uniformity of terms. The main principles of this translation are: 1) to avoid Greekisms, Latinisms and calques from the Russian language; 2) to translate Greek etymologically related concepts with single-root words; 3) to translate single-root antonymic concepts in the same way; 4) where lexical semantics is terminologically or substantively significant, to use synonyms; 6) composites or words with a complicated internal form can be translated periphrastically; 7) to use some neologisms to clarify meanings.</p> Lesia Zvonska, Vitalii Turenko Copyright (c) 2024 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://sententiae.vntu.edu.ua/index.php/sententiae/article/view/1025 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0300 Common knowledge and skepticism https://sententiae.vntu.edu.ua/index.php/sententiae/article/view/1023 <p>The first translation into Ukrainian and French of the article "Saber comum e ceticismo” (Common knowledge and skepticism) by Osvaldo Porchat Pereira (1933–2017), which became one of the classic sources of modern Brazilian Neopyrrhonism.</p> Oswaldo Porchat Pereira Copyright (c) 2024 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://sententiae.vntu.edu.ua/index.php/sententiae/article/view/1023 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0300 What is Necessary and What is Contingent in Kant’s Empirical Self? https://sententiae.vntu.edu.ua/index.php/sententiae/article/view/1019 <p>How does Kant understand the representation of an empirical self? For Kant, the sources of the representation must be both <em>a priori</em> and <em>a posteriori</em>. Several scholars claim that the <em>a priori</em> part of the ‘self’ representation is supplied by the category of ‘substance,’ either a regular substance (Andrew Chignell), a minimal substance (Karl Ameriks) or a substance analog (Katharina Kraus). However, Kant opens the Paralogisms chapter by announcing that there is a thirteenth ‘transcendental’ concept or category: “We now come to a concept that was not entered in the above general list of transcendental concepts, and that must yet be classed with them … This is the concept – or, if one prefers, the judgment – I think.” (A341/B399). I argue that it is the ‘I think’ that provides the <em>a priori</em> framework for the representation of the empirical self.</p> Patricia Kitcher Copyright (c) 2024 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://sententiae.vntu.edu.ua/index.php/sententiae/article/view/1019 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0300 Humanity and Self-preservation. Kant or Heidegger? https://sententiae.vntu.edu.ua/index.php/sententiae/article/view/1020 <p>Kant’s practical philosophy revolves around the concepts of pure reason, autonomy, law and obligation. But for them, terms such as humanity and self-mastery (Selbstherrschaft) are also of great importance. According to Kant, these terms concretize the reason and goal of our ethical and legal-political actions. In a first step, the meaning of these terms at the end of the four Kantian questions (What can I know? What should I do? What can I hope? What is man?) is explained. In a second step, Martin Heidegger’s criticism of humanism (and thus also of Kant) is presented and in a third step the consequences that his view of thinking has for law and politics are discussed: Heidegger’s thinking stands with his negation of philosophy, ethics and science in the service of a politics of immaturity.</p> Heiner Klemme Copyright (c) 2024 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://sententiae.vntu.edu.ua/index.php/sententiae/article/view/1020 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0300 Orality as an Element of Historicо-Philosophical Research https://sententiae.vntu.edu.ua/index.php/sententiae/article/view/1021 <p>In the current research, using methods of oral history of philosophy, oral communication (in particular, interviews) is considered only as a technical phase in preparing the final text. The author claims that the primary audio or video recordings of such an interview, an "oral draft," should be considered independent material. After all, the written text does not reflect the interlocutors' intonations; comparing the source material and the final text may become important for future researchers. After the transcribed and agreed text of the interview took its final shape, it should be analyzed by the interlocutors and supplemented with a commentary. This commentary aims to (1) clarify vague points of the text and (2) record the further opinions of the interviewer and interviewee. Therefore, the purpose of an interview that uses an oral history of philosophy should be an audio/video recording, a final text, and a commentary.</p> Nataliia Reva Copyright (c) 2024 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://sententiae.vntu.edu.ua/index.php/sententiae/article/view/1021 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0300 Oral History of Philosophy: Method, Methodology, (Future) Discipline? https://sententiae.vntu.edu.ua/index.php/sententiae/article/view/1022 <p>Natalia Reva's interview with Amina Khelufi, devoted to the status of the oral history of philosophy, modern research in this field and prospects for its development.
