Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the specifics of the Russian Enlightenment on the basis of texts by M. Fedorov and is a continuation of the article "Under the Yoke of Woman: Enlightenment Dialectic of the Power of Nature and Power over Nature". The gender paradoxes of the Enlightenment consciousness are highlighted by analysing M. Turne’s text "Friday, Pacific or limb". The author concludes that the masculine, freed from everything natural, prevails over life, asserting an openly necrophilic ideal camouflaged by the idea of the search for immortality. But there is another way out – the transformation of the enlightenment paradigm, the rejection of the yoke of power, merging with Nature and ascending to the cosmic sex (germination through the triumphant Femininity or Masculinity in accordance with male or female androgyny). Cosmic sex is polysex.
本文以 M. Fedorov 的文章为基础,专门分析了俄罗斯启蒙运动的具体内容,是 "在妇女的桎梏下 "一文的继续:启蒙运动关于自然力量和支配自然力量的辩证法》一文的继续。通过分析 M. Turne 的文章 "星期五、太平洋或肢体",突出了启蒙意识中的性别悖论。作者的结论是,男性从一切自然中解放出来,凌驾于生命之上,以追求永生的思想为伪装,主张一种公开的恋尸理想。但还有另一条出路--转变启蒙范式,摒弃权力枷锁,与自然融为一体,升华为宇宙性(根据男性或女性的雌雄同体性,通过胜利的女性或男性气质发芽)。宇宙性是多性的。
期刊介绍:
Sententiae is historico-philosophical open access journal. Journal created by Modern philosophy''s research group (Pascalian society). Founded in 2000. Published twice a year, in June and December. Our purpose is to foster the development of a wide gamut of contemporary approaches, active implementation of them into research practice, and establishment of high standards of teaching philosophy basing on the achievements of contemporary history of philosophy. Our key priority is to ensure the empirical substantiation of historico-philosophical conceptions, basing on the criteria of literality, exhaustivity, contextuality and taking into account the existing speculative interpretations. Jean-Luc Marion was the first to formulate this set of criteria in 1998 as the main features of contemporary researches of Descartes''s philosophy. We regard these principles as the methodological background of any substantiated research method in the history of philosophy. Publishing materials on all historico-philosophical topics, we pay special attention to researches in terminology, issues of philosophical translation and untranslatability, manuscript researches (including handwritten heritage of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy professors of ХVІІ–ХVІІІ century), and cover the development of large-scale projects in this area. We also publish new bilingual and commented Ukrainian translations of classical foreign philosophical texts. Among our priorities there is also a coverage of the history of philosophical thought in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries and its relations to the wider cultural context (theology, literature, natural sciences, political ideology etc). The content of each issue is distributed according to Genre Sections and Thematic Headings. Currently there are 10 Genre Sections.
