Abstract
The research programme deals with two principal domains of contemporary philosophical analysis: a. analysis of the subject, critical analysis of ideologies, the social and historical forming of consciousness; b. the methods of logical analysis in the research of language, science and cognitive structures.
a. The first part of the research programme concentrates on the theoretical affirmation of the subject as the key concept of contemporary philosophy and critical thought in general. The theoretical and ideological pitfalls of the contemporary postmodernist “subjectivity without the subject” can best be countered only by the consquent development of the opposite stance of “the subject without subjectivity”, as it can be found above all in the Lacanian psychoanalysis. The research will first focus on the problems connected with the proper definition of relationships between the basic elements constituting the subject, a confrontation of this theory of the subject with competing contemporary currents (Derrida, Jameson, Badiou) and the development of a conceptual apparatus which would draw a clear demarcation line between the ideological (Althusser) and the non-ideological subject. This set of problems entails an extensive rereading of the philosophical tradition and its concepts of subject, intersubjectivity and the social bond.
b. The investigation of the general structures and forms of thought, language, consciousness and reality, of their mutual relations, dependencies and presentation of these is in the focus of the second area of the research program.
Logic: Study of the main logical structures, concepts and theories in philosophical logic (modal, epistemic, deontic logic, and logic of relevance); the problem of self-reference.
Theory of science: study of logical and epistemological structures of scientific knowledge. Transfer of scientific results and their technological application. Ethics of science.
Philosophical problems of science. Philosophical presuppositions and implications of contemporary cosmological theories.
Philosophy of language: the development of Wittgenstein’s understanding of rules and language games.
Philosophy of cognition: dynamical morphology in the study of meaning and cognition. The analysis of relations between cognitive philosophy and phenomenological tradition. Relation between holistic and reductionist approaches in the philosophy of mind.
