In particular, the author associates the \"fiery\" constitution of ontology in Pascal's philosophy with the existential preconditions for such constitution, the main of which are: 1) the revelation of the transcendent in human experience; 2) the inevitable awareness of man's limitations in relation to the transcendent; 3) the feeling of horror caused by the encounter with the fundamentally infinite transcendent, which cannot be exhaustively ontologically thematized. These premises explain, according to the author, the \"fiery\" nature of ontological thought in Pascal's philosophy as a direct antagonist to the \"cold\" thought of Cartesianism that is based on the assumption of the fundamental possibility of mental grasping and thematization of all existence.","PeriodicalId":37673,"journal":{"name":"Sententiae","volume":"75 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139132157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since, according to Pascal, man occupies a middle position in the world, unambiguity in human reasoning could indicate: (a) either man's equality with God; (b) man's lack of life choice and self-determination. That is why the first truths, the first principles of life, the first prophecies and insights can be expressed only in the form of opposites. The means of clashing opposites is allegory. The author traces the apophatic origins of Pascal's concept and analyses the main storylines of allegories in «Pensées», which primarily concern the themes of God, religion, human existence and, thus, human nature and the very first principles of human thought.","PeriodicalId":37673,"journal":{"name":"Sententiae","volume":"31 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139132496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the analysis of the arguments presented in this treatise and the assessment of various researchers regarding the role of Zabarella in the history of logic, the author shows that it was in the Italian Aristotelianism of the sixteenth century that a \"methodological breakthrough\" to the Modern philosophy was first made, so this period should be considered as a special stage in the development of philosophy. The author argues that the Padua School opens the way for a new type of rationality and introduces a new ideal of reliable knowledge, which gives new opportunities to the mathematical sciences and questions the reliability of metaphysical knowledge. Zabarella's example also proves that the principles of empirical and rationalist methodologies were formed within the framework of a type of nominalism and the justification of the primacy of epistemological and methodological approaches.","PeriodicalId":37673,"journal":{"name":"Sententiae","volume":"21 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139130071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author analyses Descartes' correspondence with Princess Elizabeth, in particular the concept of substantial union, which does not fit into the «conventional» paradigm of understanding Descartes as a dualist and mechanist. The article is partly based on the work of Daniel Garber. The author focuses on two aspects. Firstly, the refusal of interpretation of the mind-body interaction in terms of the law of conservation. Secondly, ontological characteristics are assigned to this interaction. These aspects, in the author's opinion, are the basis for postulation the virtue of Cartesian thinking. After all, it not only breaks with the rationalism of the time, realising its limits and dead ends, but also lays the foundations for the concept of corporeality developed later in the phenomenological tradition.","PeriodicalId":37673,"journal":{"name":"Sententiae","volume":"1 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139130518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author notes that the desire to separate from the European past is turning into a clear trend, the reasons for which lie not only in the realm of ideology (we are not Europe, so there can be no parallels), but also in the realm of mass consciousness, brought up on the legendary history of Russia and marked by excessive xenophobia. The «West» is understood as the mythology of the West, and mythologisation is the ground on which the currents of Russian thought unite and is an integral feature of the \"Russian idea\", i.e. the attempt to civilise Russians.
