Otázka vedy, metafyziky a filozofie v kontexte negatívneho platonizmu Jana Patočku

Abstract

The Question of Science, and Philosophy in Context of Jan Patočka´s Negative Platonism Philosophica Critica The contribution attempts to articulate the fundamental con-textual connection of science, metaphysics and philosophy in Patočka´s philosophical program of Negative Platonism. It mainly wants to outline and explain the implicit motivations, which form the framework of an access to science, which is considered consti-tutive to Modern Era and its inherent dependence on mathematical science of nature. The question of metaphysics is shown as an op-portunity for asking about its specificity and its own way of being real. Its relation to philosphy which is capable of demonstrating the pivotal intention of modern science. Patočka´s approach to these questions opens a possibility of non-metaphysical philosophy. Negative Platonism is Patočka´s concretisation of non-metaphys-ical philosphy. It can be understood as an incessant urgency of a specifically human and fundamental possibility of life lived phil-osophically, which means, as a relentless shaking and distanciation from beings.
