REFLEXE
Reflexe a journal of philosophy, was founded in 1985 by Ladislav Hejdánek. The first three issues, originaly published in the underground (samizdat) form, were re-issued legally in 1990. The journal then continued as a quarterly and later, in its present form, as a bi-annual. The focus is on original studies in the areas of Philosophy and Theology. While translations of important philosophical essays are also published, preference is given to new publications. Each issue includes reviews of recent philosophical literature from the Czech Republic and abroad.

abstract

The article focuses on Hegel’s conception of dialectics against the background of Plato’s The Sophist. Hegel radicalizes Plato’s doctrine of the highest genera by understanding unity exclusively as related to alterity. Instead of being tied to perspectives, this relation is ontologically grounded – unity is constituted through difference. This dynamic conception of being is then understood against the background of Hegel’s Phenomenology: any being is only insofar as it appears; and as appearing it is essentially a relation of sameness and alterity. Rather than a monistic philosopher, Hegel is to be understood as a thinker of the ontological link between unity and difference.
