SPECIAL ISSUES

SUPPLEMENTUM I: Univerzálie ve scholastice (2013).   In thirteen essays written in Czech this book provides a historical and systematic overview of the philosophical dialogue that unfolded within the scholastic tradition for nearly a thousand years, spanning from its beginnings with Porphyry and Avicenna to the highly developed theories of the Baroque scholastics of the 17th century. This publication offers readers not only a comprehensive introduction to the development of a crucial philosophical issue but also a distinct and cohesive perspective on that significant stage in the history of human thought which is known as scholasticism.

SUPPLEMENTUM II: Pluralita tradic od antiky po novověk (2015).  This book presents eleven independent studies written in Czech that offer insights into the dynamic period between Antiquity and the modern era. This was a time when emerging European nations, building upon the ruins of the Roman Empire, shaped the foundations of Western culture: an era whose legacy remains central to the very identity of Europe. In this period, reverence for tradition coexisted with an extraordinary diversity of interwoven intellectual currents. From the perspective of the Aristotelian tradition, the contributors explore other significant intellectual frameworks, including the legacy of Neoplatonism, Augustinianism, and the tradition of mathematical thought. Their scholarly investigations extend both to the roots of Scholasticism in Antiquity and to the intellectual currents of the post-Scholastic era.

SUPPLEMENTUM III: Second Scholasticism — Analytical Metaphysics — Christian Apologetics: Essays in Honour of Stanislav Sousedík (2024). Second scholasticism, ​analytical metaphysics, and Christian apologetics are the three topics characteristic of the lifelong efforts of the eminent Czech philosopher Stanislav Sousedík, who celebrated his 90th birthday in 2021. To honour this anniversary, a conference named accordingly was organized in Prague. The papers presented at this event — further elaborated by their authors and supplemented with Sousedík’s remarkable “Brief Autobiography” — constitute the gist of this book: a collective homage to Professor Sousedík and an attempt to promote and develop his intellectual legacy.
