Danger in the Eye of the Beholder

Abstract

This article is an overview of the current issue of Filosofija. Sociologija. The article is subdivided into three chapters – Legality and Morality, Intelligence and Sensibility, Communication and Technology – and Chronicle. All papers in this issue engage in reflection of various practical (political, moral, legal, etc.) concerns. They are grouped into chapters based on their thematic similarity, but the similarities reflected in the chapter-division are not the only connection between the concerns addressed in them. The overview offers another way of surveying, or linking, the articles. They present intelligence as dynamic and in a mutual relation with the practical field. It could serve as a reminder that the division of philosophy into theoretical and practical is classificatory rather than ontological. This could, in turn, serve as a guide against the imposition of abstract alien structures to the system of life as well as toward thinking that is not impoverished by its alienation from the living.
