Ovaj rad započinje konstatacijom da u sklopu relativno kratke povijesti moderne filozofske kulture u Bugarskoj postoji dovoljno osnova za razlikovanje nekoliko zasebnih razdoblja, svako od kojih uključuje specifične razvojne etape. Svako razdoblje stoga zaslužuje ozbiljnu analizu. No istraživanje povijesti moderne bugarske filozofije mora se temeljiti na jasnim metodološkim premisama. Kada objašnjavamo fenomene i procese filozofskog života u ovoj zemlji, polazimo od pojma filozofske kulture, shvaćenoga kao kompleksni sustav koji uključuje elemente i idealne prirode i ne-idealnog karaktera. Svi čimbenici socio-kulturne naravi (...) u životima profesionalnih filozofa – aktivnosti, institucije znanja, filozofska tijela, formalne i neformalne organizacije, filozofski forumi i filozofski tisak – obuhvaćeni su pojmom filozofska javnost. Korištenjem ovoga termina omogućuje se provođenje fenomenološke analize različitih manifestacija filozofije izvan stratuma intrinzičnih ideja.This study begins with the ascertainment that within the comparatively short history of modern philosophical culture in Bulgaria, there are enough grounds to distinguish several relatively independent periods, each with its specific stages. Each of these periods deserves serious analysis. But the study of the history of modern Bulgarian philosophy has to be based on clear methodological premises. When we explain the phenomena and processes of philosophical life in this country, we proceed from the concept of philosophical culture, understood as a complex system incorporating both elements of ideal nature and of non-ideal character. All factors of socio-cultural nature in the lives of the professional philosophers – activities, institutions of knowledge, body of philosophers, formal and non-formal organizations, forums of philosophers and philosophical press – are specified by the term philosophical publicity. Using this term makes it possible to carry out a phenomenological analysis of the different manifestations of philosophy outside its stratum of intrinsic ideas.Cette étude commence par la constatation qu’il existe, dans le cadre de la relativement courte histoire de la culture philosophique moderne en Bulgarie, suffisamment de raisons pour distinguer plusieurs périodes relativement séparées, chacune comportant des phases spécifiques. Chaque période mérite ainsi une analyse sérieuse. Mais l’étude de l’histoire de la philosophie bulgare moderne doit être fondée sur des prémisses méthodologiques claires. Lorsque nous expliquons les phénomènes et les processus de la vie philosophique dans ce pays, nous partons du concept de culture philosophique, entendue comme un système complexe incorporant à la fois des éléments de nature idéale et de caractère non-idéal. Tous les facteurs de nature socioculturelle dans la vie des philosophes professionnels – activités, institutions du savoir, corps des philosophes, organisations formelles et non formelles, forums des philosophes et presse philosophique – sont indiqués par le terme de publicité philosophique. L’emploi de ce terme permet d’effectuer une analyse phénoménologique des différentes manifestations de la philosophie à l’extérieur de son strate d’idées intrinsèques.Der vorliegende Traité beginnt mit der Feststellung, im Bereich der verhältnismäßig kurzen Geschichte der zeitgenössischen philosophischen Kultur in Bulgarien gebe es zureichend Unterbau, um mehrere relativ eigenständige Zeitabschnitte samt deren dazugehörigen spezifischen Entwicklungsetappen voneinander abgrenzen zu können. Jeder einzelnen dieser Perioden gebührt eine eingehende Analyse. Jedoch sollte die Studie der Historie der modernen Philosophie Bulgariens auf eindeutigen methodologischen Prämissen fußen. Wenn wir Phänomene und Prozesse des philosophischen Lebens in diesem Land erläutern, heben wir mit dem Begriff der philosophischen Kultur an, der Elemente der idealen Natur sowie des nicht idealen Charakters innehat und als komplexes Gefüge ausgelegt wird. Alle Faktoren soziokultureller Natur aus den Leben der professionellen Philosophen – Aktivitäten, Institutionen des Wissens, philosophische Gremien, formelle und informelle Organisationen, philosophische Foren und philosophische Presse – sind im Begriff philosophische Öffentlichkeit gebündelt. Die Benutzung der angesprochenen Bezeichnung ermöglicht die Umsetzung der phänomenologischen Analyse diverser Offenbarungen der Philosophie abseits des Stratums deren intrinsischer Ideen. (shrink)

This book of readings is designed to help the student better understand how people develop their moral sense.

It is possible that some logician may not know that a and b exist, not know what they denote, and whether they are true or untrue. But virtually every logician will agree that the expression a ⊃ b cannot be true in a case in which a is true and b is false. Truth relationships thus understood — inasmuch as they are not specific to any particular field of science — are generally regarded as the proper concern of logic. Only (...) their study can uncover the typically human capacity to derive one piece of knowledge from another without referring back directly to objective reality. (shrink)

Within the Computer Science community, many ethical issues have emerged as significant and critical concerns. Computer ethics is an academic field in its own right and there are unique ethical issues associated with information technology. It encompasses a range of issues and concerns including privacy and agency around personal information, Artificial Intelligence and pervasive technology, the Internet of Things and surveillance applications. As computing technology impacts society at an ever growing pace, there are growing calls for more computer ethics content (...) to be included in Computer Science curricula. In this paper we present the results of a survey that polled faculty from Computer Science and related disciplines about teaching practices for computer ethics at their institutions. The survey was completed by respondents from 61 universities across 23 European countries. Participants were surveyed on whether or not computer ethics is taught to Computer Science students at each institution, the reasons why computer ethics is or is not taught, how computer ethics is taught, the background of staff who teach computer ethics and the scope of computer ethics curricula. This paper presents and discusses the results of the survey. (shrink)
