Synopsis

The collection of papers in this volume brings together contributions to the second round table held at the Department of Philosophy of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences under the title “Varieties of Materialism” on the 7th of May 2016. The papers have been significantly expanded and elaborated compared to the conference presentations and discussions. The working domain of the collection encompasses the research fields of ontology and epistemology, together with a set of problems related to the very nature of philosophical inquiry, i.e. methodology of philosophy and related analytical discourses such as cultural studies, comparative literary theory, and history. Materialism in various guises has permeated the discourse of philosophy since the ancient times and has often been suppressed by rival discourses, especially idealism, only to resurface again in other eras, sometimes under a different name. Although materialism is usually thought of as a key ingredient of Marxian philosophy and political theory, it is important to notice that the discussions on materialism surpass the framework established by historical materialism in many distinct areas of research, from theories of matter to the body versus mind controversy. Thus, the scope of relevant themes covered under “varieties of materialism” goes beyond the borders of Marxian philosophy and assembles papers that examine materialism not only in a historical, but also in an ontological, anthropological, and formal sense. Furthermore, the rich tradition of materialist analysis of history and culture developed in the 20th century represents yet another domain that remains important for understanding the diversity of materialism and its practical implications. (From Foreword.)
