Dijalektika i angažman ili kako se zauzeti za dobar život?/Dialectics and Engagement Or How to Stand Up for a Good Life?

Abstract

Starting from Plato's understanding of dialectics, this paper examines the nature, purpose and meaning of human practice. This examination tends to point out an importance of the relation between true knowledge and human engagement. It indicates that a neglection of dependence between practice and knowledge causes a fatal dominance of common belief andrevanchism in history. The collapse of dialectics is, implicitly, re-examined as the central event of the beyond-metaphysical reality of the region. True knowledge, therefore, is understood here as the foundation of human dwelling which, through the reality of historical existence, reaches a desired peace: a good life. Finally, this point justifies philosophy as a life well lived.
