The task set before it and solved in it is to demonstrate the differences between the concept of “Rhizome” from the other two types of organization – hierarchy and network – and its heuristic potential for solving the issue of individual autonomy. In previous works, it was shown that this question was posed by Kant as the main task of the Enlightenment. Subsequently, this problematic field inherited the current of post-anarchism, which takes its conceptual apparatus from the philosophical system of G. Deleuze and, moreover, is the ideological heir to the Kantian project. In the discourse of Russian academic philosophy, “Rhizome” was likened to the concept of “Network” (in the form in which it was developed within the framework of the Actor-Network theory), known in Russian literature on organization theory as a decentralized structure, traditionally opposed to a centralized structure, i.e. “hierarchical”. The consequence of such inattention, or the habit of thinking through analogies, was the complete absence at the moment of qualified research devoted to one of the main motives of the philosophy of Deleuze – the search for new thinking. This text is intended to show the possibility of a different understanding of the concept of “Rhizome”, which opens up the possibility of solving a more important task at the present time – the discovery of a new thinking capable of asserting its autonomy in a society riddled with networked and hierarchized control structures.","PeriodicalId":46795,"journal":{"name":"VOPROSY FILOSOFII","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134889019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The MC mechanism is defined as a process by which some characteristics of an object (those selected by thinking) interact and some others are suppressed, with a chance at later actualisation. As a result, awareness of the self as an existentially non-static system bearing with it ‘the world as an accepted sense’ makes it possible to rethink the connection between language, thinking and perception. Here, a problem assuming a special prominence is attaining the obviousness and veracity (a primary cohesion of experience) by possessing which cognising agents construct a reality for themselves. The article considers Gustav Gerber’s ideas and Hermann von Helmholtz’s definition of perception as ‘unconscious inference’, as well as Immanuel Kant’s assertion about the ‘logical tact’ lying ‘in the obscurity of the mind’. Metaphorical correlation is shown to be able to act as a mechanism of a sui generis intuitive logic, which marks the starting point of cognitive reflection and paves the way for linguistic reality. Metaphorical correlation is a mechanism of abstraction and conceptualisation that determines the angles of cognitive reflection. The author concludes that if thinking is to be viewed as a calculus of the best possible strategy for interpreting experience (this vision is reflected in language, ever illuminating the substantive aspects of an object that are existentially important for a native speaker), the MC mechanism, which is immanently intrinsic to thinking processes, makes it possible to ‘calculate’ a thinking strategy whose adaptive value lies in the possibility of explicating the elements of experience for which there is a compelling existential need and inhibition of those whose explication is not requisite at the moment.","PeriodicalId":46795,"journal":{"name":"VOPROSY FILOSOFII","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134889469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rationality is understood as the correspondence of actions and thinking to epistemic rules. Traditionally, the rules of correct thinking are formulated by logic. The search for other universal laws of knowledge originates from the logic of Aristotle. In the epistemology and logic of science, pluralism still prevails, and parallel conceptual lines are developing. The ideals of rationality either describe thinking algorithms that are successfully implemented in research, or they are prescribed to practice like philosophical ideals. The matter is complicated by the fact that there are no ahistorical ideals of knowledge. Does it mean that the search for ideals of rationality is doomed in advance, and rationality itself is irrational? Both the foundations of scientific knowledge and the foundations of human culture are interconnected with rationality. Moreover, one is inseparable from the other in the real world, in which a person acts and makes decisions. Considering different points of view on rationality, we will try to comprehend it simultaneously from the standpoint of historical variability and the presence of mechanisms for continuity and stabilization of acquired cultural experience.","PeriodicalId":46795,"journal":{"name":"VOPROSY FILOSOFII","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134890778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The correspondence discusses the most important problems of physics and philosophy of the 17th century: the extension of substance, the main and secondary properties of substances, the understanding of space, emptiness and atoms, the limits of the divisibility of matter, the infinity of God and the world, and, finally, the recognition of the animateness of animals and the immortality of the soul. In this discussion, H. More starts from the Neoplatonic theory of the origin and the development of the world, which is based on the principle of emanation. Starting from this theophysical idea, More tries to adapt Descartes’ doctrine of two substances. The translation was made from the Latin original of the classical editions of C. Clerselier [Clerselier 1657] and C. Adam and P. Tannery [AT V]. H. More’s letter is translated into Russian and published for the first time.

Sādhana aims at siddhi as an ideal realization; liberation (mokṣa) is considered the highest siddhi. It is permissible to discern two interrelated aspects of sadhana, i.e. narrow (specialized) and wide (coinciding with the whole way of life of the follower). Tantric sādhana positions itself as a highly effective tool for human improvement in Kali Yuga. While addressing all people, Tantra at the same time requires the observance of the secret of practice. Leading, as it were, a “double life”, a number of tantric traditions (Śrīvidyā, for example) adapt to the needs of the orthodox Hindu society. Tantric works sometimes report the “lightness” of the spiritual path, which means the acquisition of the highest ideal during the earthly life of the practitioner, but does not mean the ease of the tantric procedures themselves. In general, Hindu Tantrism agrees with general Indian soteriology that sādhana is a “return” (nivṛtti) process, which is accompanied by an increase of holistic perception of reality. Nevertheless, in Tantrism, nivṛtti and pravṛtti (deployment) are closely related to each other, since they represent different phases of the Śakti’s “game” (B.K. Majumdar), also understood as the divine vibration-spanda. Depending on the level of his development, sādhaka is engaged in exercises either in the spirit of nivṛtti or pravṛtti. The effectiveness of pravṛtti at the final levels of the path is turned against pravṛtti itself. The variability of tantric methods and ethical standards correlate with the level of consciousness of the practitioner. The stage of nivṛtti, as it were, models the ultimate state reached by the tantric adept after the end of his spiritual path.","PeriodicalId":46795,"journal":{"name":"VOPROSY FILOSOFII","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68531207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main points of posing the fundamental for Modernity problem of Cogito are from Descartes – Kant – Husserl to the re-actualization of the transcendental approach to consciousness nowadays. The participants of the conversation talk about possible ways to safely use of “smart machines” that successfully imitate intellectual activity and note that the activity of the Cogito can also be the opposite of comprehension as appropriation, so to speak, making Data mine. The anti-reductionist features of the Russian word “Smysl” (Sense) are noted, which allow us to see Wholeness as the source of all meanings, which cannot be included in Data. Such Smysl holds philosophical discourse together, has a textual expression and deontological status, which can only be guaranteed by the efforts of the participants of the Socratic dialogue. It is noted that Russian philosophy represented by V.S. Solovyev begins not with Cogito, but with Smysl, and this beginning allows this philosophy to be a “moral project”.","PeriodicalId":46795,"journal":{"name":"VOPROSY FILOSOFII","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134887411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this framework, influence of factors of a sociо-cultural context on the formal and substantive aspects of scientific processes was not a subject of the philosophical analysis. However, the internal logic in development of philosophy of science led to expansion of a circle of its interests. This circle included processes of interfluence of science and the cultural environment in its historical development. It affected sense of the major epistemic values: truth, objectivity, rationality. Their interpretation as variable dependent on a sociо-cultural context led to relativism which, in fact, devaluated the philosophical analysis of science. In attempts to counteract relativism the idea of political agency of science had to be rejected, which contradicted the obvious realities. The philosophy of science became in need of reform. Its initiator was historical and socio-cultural epistemology. The central thesis of reform is recognition of equal rights, continuity and interdependence of the principles of truth, objectivity and historicism forming triple complementarity (by analogy with the well-known principle of N.

It should be considered as an applied science, the most important section of which is the typology of possible and necessary goals of educational activity. In turn, the definition of goals of pedagogical practice should be based on a complex of representations of human, a certain philosophical and pedagogical anthropology. The being of a human, according to Sergey I. Hessen, can be likened to the geological structure of the Earth’s crust: ontologically, “human” is not only natural (the first level) and social (the second level), but also a cultural being. The laws of cultural and intellectual existence of a human are fundamentally different from biological and social laws. Therefore, the main goal of pedagogical practice is the inclusion of an empirical individual into the processes of transmission and deployment of cultural values. At the same time, culture should be understood as an activity aimed at achieving ultimate, inexhaustible goals, objectives that stand before humanity in various fields of practice. In his book The Foundations of Pedagogy, published in 1923, Sergey I. Hessen identifies three types of cultural values: civilization, citizenship, and education. Opposing the cultural level of human existence to the biological and social ones, Sergey I.
