The Conditions of Philosophy in Totalitarian and Post-Totalitarian Poland
1997
This compound paper presents the views of two Polish philosophers on the strong international pressures influencing the development of Polish philosophy in recent times. The first part, by Leszek Koczanowicz, treats the philosophical situation and problems of totalitarian Poland under the influence of Soviet Marxism, while the second part, by Adam Chmielewski, focuses on the main trends and difficulties of post-totalitarian Poland, dominated by Western influence.

2019
Resum: Aquest article te com a objectiu resumir els punts principals del debat sobre la divisio entre semantica i pragmatica. S’hi expliquen les tres principals postures dins la disputa i s’hi proporciona un esquema general per determinar quines teories encaixen a cadascuna d’elles. L’article conclou amb una breu discussio sobre la naturalesa de la nocio de contingut i el seu rol al debat. Paraules clau : minimisme, contextualisme, relativisme, contingut explicit.

The three main contenders in the dispute are explained, and a general schema for fitting theories into each of the…
Belief, acceptance and knowledge
2009
According to Contextualism about knowledge, it is possible that a subject, with the same amount of evidence and the same degree of con-viction, knows that P in a context and not in another. In this paper, I favor the invarationist conception of knowledge by drawing a distinction between belief and acceptance."Know", I defend, does not change in meaning across contexts, althoughI acknowledge it is not correct to self ascribe knowledge when one does not accept that P. Según la posición contextualista puede ocurrir que con las mis-mas evidencias y el mismo grado de convicción, un sujeto sepa que P en un contexto y no en otro. Mediante la distinción entre aceptación y creencia, se combate tal p…
TRASLAZIONE DEI SIGNIFICATI E (IN)DETERMINAZIONE DEL CONTESTO NELLA PUBLIC ART: Considerazioni teoriche e storico-artistiche attorno alla pittura urb…
2022
The paper investigates the recovery of classical artworks done through street art by Andrea ‘Ravo’ Mattoni, thus connecting his practice with social responsibility and aesthetic contextualisation emerging from public art in the wake of John Latham’s contextualism and Joseph Beuys’ social sculpture. The choice to recover classical iconography and repertoire from the sites of his interventions offers further the chance to consider the role of contemporary artists in expanding public consciousness and accessibility to cultural heritage by transferring images and meanings from museum rooms to open streets in the original sites. In doing so Ravo Mattoni’s murales try to immerse the viewer into a…
Rethinking Vygotskian Cultural-Historical Theory in Light of Pepperian Root Metaphor Theory : Dynamic Interplay of the Organicism and Contextualism
2016
This article examines Vygotskian cultural-historical theory by putting it into dialogue with Stephen Pepper's root metaphor theory. I focus on Vygotsky's insistence on the dialectical unity of the phylogenetic and ontogenetic domains in ontogenesis, which he articulated in his account of how the natural-psychological and cultural-psychological lines of development merge with the emergence of speeching in ontogenesis. I compare Vygotsky's two genetic domains and Pepper's world hypotheses of organicism and contextualism. I argue that Vygotsky transcended what is often thought of as a fundamental dichotomy between organicism and contextualism. In accomplishing this effective reconciliation, Vy…
Developing a metatheoretical framework for second language development : a cultural-historical theory and dynamic systems theory perspective
2017
The main aim of this article-based dissertation is to construct and articulate a dialectical metatheoretical architecture for the study of second language development termed Purposive-Historical Systems Theory (PHiST) invoking, inter alia, the axiomatic imperatives of dynamic systems theory (DST), Vygotskian cultural-historical theory (CHT), and Pepperian root metaphor theory (RMT). Specifically, it primarily purports, first, to demonstrate the tenability of a dialectical synthesis of DST and CHT; second, to philosophize on the fundamental contours of PHiST; third, to apply a novel metatheoretical perspective, as a quintessential example, to reconceptualizing the seminal construct of the Zo…
