The great debates of philosophy
„Is human freedom a radical absolute choice or embedded in historical conditions?"
„Is reality an unchanging, eternal being or a permanent process of becoming and change?"
„Does the existential struggle for freedom require a political commitment that can justify violence?"
„Can we overcome our prejudices through critical reflection, or are they a necessary prerequisite for any understanding?"
„Are linguistic meanings fixed by speaker intentions or are they subject to infinite displacement through the text?"
„Can social phenomena be explained objectively through scientific methods or do they require a dialectical interpretation of history?"
„Is the human being a free creator of their identity or a product of social discourses and power structures?"
„Should priority be given to philosophical reflection on Being or to active political action in the world?"
„Can a thinking thing be anything other than a body?"
„Does civilisation advance human beings or corrupt them?"
„Was Hume's hospitality betrayal, or was Rousseau's suspicion a delusion?"
„May theory consist of images, or does it require dialectical mediation?"
„Is truth correspondence with facts or warranted inquiry?"
„Are there genuine philosophical problems, or only linguistic puzzles?"
„Are there analytic truths independent of experience?"
„Can madness be brought to language outside reason?"
„Theory of society or social technology?"
„Does understanding presuppose the good will to agree, or does writing undermine every agreement?"
„Can the right be justified prior to the good?"
„Does giving up metaphysical realism inevitably lead to relativism?"
„Does an overlapping consensus suffice, or does legitimacy require everyone's public use of reason?"
„Does parody change the world or only the seminar room?"
„Is truth more than warranted assertibility?"
„Is the Real a limit concept of psychoanalysis or a politically contingent construct?"
„Do objects dissolve into their relations, or withdraw from every relation?"
