Cesta k filozofickému myšlení – Bochenski Józef Mari (2022)

Józef Maria Bocheński was a significant researcher in logic, but also a teacher of philosophy, renowned for his clear presentation of philosophical thought. In this book, he provides an unprepared interested party, that is, an ordinary mortal – a beginner without prior training, with a method to grasp the fundamental philosophical problems that humanity has been discussing since the dawn of ancient thought. It is only where empirical-reductive science ends, having accepted its assumptions, that philosophy begins. Sciences seek knowledge, yet the thinker asks what knowledge actually is, what law, truth, value, humanity, and society are. According to Bocheński, philosophy is a radical science; it goes deeper, to the roots, it is universal, it does not shy away from any area, and it deals with the general properties of all phenomena and of being itself. "Whoever has once understood the teachings of a great philosopher," says Bocheński, "will consider philosophizing a beautiful and noble activity." The ten brilliant lectures of the great educator contained in this book have already illuminated the minds of millions of people around the world.
