As authors take it, there is an attempt to imagine the fundamental level of reasoning, where there is no opposition between cognition and its object. In this dimension there is no need to substantiate compatibility between them — it is a level of primary foundation of knowledge. Consequently, any knowledge at this level may be characterized as “Ultimate”. That being said, place of such knowledge is not taken by several specific statements, but by the certain way of organizing those “mental definitions” that are already used by common human sense. To organize these definitions, to arrange them into consistently deployed sequence of logical notions, there is need to abort the search for the primary foundation for knowledge inherent in philosophy from its very origins. This attempt was reflected in Kant's theory of knowledge, where the problem of the reliability of knowledge was solved due to self-limitation in the process of cognition — it was necessary to stop before a certain line, beyond which thought leaves “the limits of possible experience” and falls into the area of insoluble contradictions (antinomies). Hegel's Logic, which, according to the authors, is in a kind of “symbiosis” with the Kantian program, consists in considering these insoluble contradictions precisely as a “symptom” of achieving the primary foundation of knowledge. It is in the collision with an insoluble contradiction that the definitions are organized in the necessary logical sequence, and that fundamental level is reached where there is no opposition between cognition and its object.","PeriodicalId":328399,"journal":{"name":"Vox.

Tracing back to the symbiosis theory put forth by Lynn Margulis, sympoesis describes a kind of collective production predicated on interaction of a variety of lifeforms, genomes, species, communities and worldviews that overhauls representations of man as a figure of domination ranging from the classical hero to the modern day corporate manager. While looking to understand how Haraway’s conceptual repertory is aligned with her purpose to step outside of the Western anthropocentric legacy thinking and establishing a novel non-human materialistic ontology working through emergent chthonic forces, we consider the Gaia hypothesis and the notions of ‘tentacular thinking’ and ‘trouble’ alongside with a timeline of Anthropocene, Capitalocene, and Chthulucene discussed in the book.","PeriodicalId":328399,"journal":{"name":"Vox.

Contrary answers to it are considered as a basis for the distinction between representationalism and relationalism. The first part of the essay contains a critical analysis of the fundamental features of German Idealism as a kind of representationalism, which determined the main epistemological trend of continental philosophy in the form of post-Kantian representationalism. In the second part, after a brief excursion into certain contemporary continental issues, the current discussion between representationalism and relationalism in analytical philosophy is considered. It is concluded that relationalism, while correctly recognizing the nature of direct perception as being without representational content, is incapable of ensuring the unity of direct perception and a perceptual judgment, and a solution is proposed that could lead out of this epistemological impasse.","PeriodicalId":328399,"journal":{"name":"Vox.

To answer these questions, an analysis of these three realities important for life is proposed, on the one hand, as Shalev understands them, on the other, how they currently look objectively. The author comes to the conclusion that at present in culture the understanding and concepts of family, love and personality are not coordinated with each other, which gives rise to numerous problems and a crisis of sociality.
