Józefa M. Bocheńskiego koncepcja historii filozofii

The notion of history of philosophy is initiated by Bocheński by presentation of the notion of history itself which, ac­cording to him for the fact of treating the past („that what happened”), has two meanings: subject meaning (past events) and object meaning (historioso­phy). Both of them can be further divi­ded into two parts: history of facts and history of doctrines. History of philo­sophy is a typical history of doctrines. The second element of the name „histo­ry of philosophy”- which is philosophy-is etymologically linked to wisdom, pre­sent in numerous meanings: in antiquity its was simply a synonim of science. In the Middle Ages we observe division of human knowledge to revealed know­ledge and natural knowledge, the lat­ter one, in its aspect of exploring the ultimate principles and causes is called philosophy. In modern times philoso­phy was questioned at all or the entire science was included in its scope. For that reason Bocheński establishes the set of topics which are constantly pre­sent in the history of philosophy and which can be classified as strictly philo­sophical issues
