LADISLAV HEJDÁNEK ARCHIVES | Cardfile
Here you will find a digitized image of Hejdánek's original filing cabinet. Its total volume is many thousand tickets. We publish them in parts as we handle them. At the moment we have worked out what prof. Hejdánek himself developed electronically. However, much work remains on paper cards. In addition to Hejdánek's extracts from reading, the filing cabinet also includes his own thought work from recent years, which cannot be found elsewhere.

This growth of the idea of the essential rights of human beings, arising from their sheer humanity, affords a striking example in the history of ideas.

Smyslový předmět (actual entity)
Alfred North Whitehead
(1929)
Newton in his description of space and time has confused what is ,real‘ potentiality with what is actual fact. He had thereby been led to diverge from the judgment of ,the vulgar‘ who „conceive those quantities under no other notions but from the relation they bear to sensible objects.“ The philosophy of organism starts by agreeing with the ,vulgar‘ except that the term ,sensible object‘ is replaced by ,actual entity‘; so as to free our notions from participation in an epistemological theory as to sense-perception. When we further consider how to adjust Newton´s other descriptions to the organic theory, ...
