Anotation:

Study targets:

To introduce students to the ideas of ancient philosophy and especially their relationship to today's science, technology, and social life.

Content:

The course is based on the historical development of Western philosophy. In the introduction, I deal with basic concepts, then mention the most important philosophers and their legacy for today. I try to show the relevance of old philosophical ideas. Philosophy 2 goes more in-depth than the introductory course, discussing the relationship between philosophy, science and technology, reductionism - its meaning and limitations, philosophy of mathematics, the development of atomistic approaches, determinism, methodology of science, etc.

Course outlines:

1 Approaches of scientists to philosophy, St. Hawking, E. Mach 2 Reductionism and its roots 3 Philosophy of mathematics 4 Epistemology and ontology of Heracleitus 5 The problem of negative meanings (vacuum, infinity, unconscious...)
6. Limits of atomism, determinism, Laplace's demon
7. The problem of free will,
8. The role of the subject in the process of knowledge
9. Paradoxes of self-referential statements
10. Mathematical Platonism and Aristotelianism
11. Paranklise, the question of free will
12. Old and new skepticism
13. Stoics, catalepsy
14. Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, modern cosmology

Exercises outline:

During the exercise, the material covered is expanded and students present their presentations on a chosen (but not necessary) topic. Discussion follows.
