Goran S. Milovanović
Grčki filozof Aristotel živeo je i razvijao svoju filozofiju u četvrtom veku p.n.e., između 384. i 322. pre Hrista. Aristotelova filozofija toliko je intenzivno uticala na potonji razvoj zapadne misli da je pravo pitanje da li je pisac, ma koji, uopšte mogao biti uticajniji od njega. Njegov opus, ili ono što smo sačuvali pred licem istorije, prema standardnim izdanjima...

Nije prošlo ni 24h od kako je londonski “The Times” 2. septembra objavio odlomke iz nove knjige Stivena Hokinga “Veliki dizajn” (koautorski poduhvat sa američkim fizičarem Lenardom Mlodinovim) a da se na slavnog fizičara i kosmologa srušila lavina kritika zbog jednostavne izjave: bog nije neophodan u objašnjenju postanka svemira. Isti je, tvrdi Hoking, ontološki...

Cognitive Science
Discs avec Spriales — Marcel Duchamp.

I have become interested in the problems of cognitive sciences before I’ve entered the Department of Psychology at the University of Belgrade. In 1992/93, I studied mathematics, interested mostly in logic and foundational problems (say, philosophy of mathematics). And before that, back...

Odysseus and The Sirens
“Then, being much troubled in mind, I said to my men, ‘My friends, it is not right that one or two of us alone should know the prophecies that Circe has made me, I will therefore tell you about them, so that whether we live or die we may do so with our eyes open. First she said we were to keep clear of the Sirens, who sit and sing most beautifully in a field of flowers; but she said I...

Worldview [Weltanschauung] :: I hold a libertarian position on free will: I do believe that we do have genuine free will, that we are morally responsible for our thoughts and actions, and live in an fundamentally uncertain, indeterministic world.
