Guseynov’s “negative ethics” and its borders’. It consists of three parts. In the first part, the author examines the question of why negative ethics is at the same time the beginning of a positive moral program of human activity. Proceeding from the belief that philosophy is an ethical project and an act is its first principle, he shows that the path of man as a living rational individual to being lies through denial. The act is deployed in two opposite directions: as a fact, it goes into the individual and is in the zone of his exclusive responsibility, and by its content it is included in the social being, its rationally organized cultural space. The contradictory integrity of the act is considered in the context of the concept of non-alibi in being introduced by M.M. Bakhtin. The second part is devoted to two main arguments against an expansive understanding of negative ethics. The first is that it does not take into account the existence of people with pure moral intentions. According to the second, the positive normative content of public morality falls out of the field of negative ethics. The third part discusses the moral paradoxes that the consciousness of one’s own moral imperfection is an indicator of one’s perfection and that good deeds should be done in secret.","PeriodicalId":46795,"journal":{"name":"VOPROSY FILOSOFII","volume":"6 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":"134887653","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 concept of “karma” offered a significant ethical and ontological alternative to both materialistic philosophy and classical theism and attracted special attention of the general public. The article aims to characterize the interpretation of karma in Russian indology and theosophy in the late 19th – early 20th centuries, and to reveal the key similarities and differences of its’ comparative methodology. The materials of the Russian buddhologist F.I. Shcherbatskoy and one of the leaders of the theosophical current in Russia E.F. Pisareva represent main cases of the research. F.I. Shcherbatskoy and E.F. Pisareva looked forward to the neovitalistic concepts for justification of belief in the existence of spiritual evolution depending on internal rather than external factors. Indology and theosophy used European scientific concepts for a cultural translation of Indian philosophical concepts, but applied different bases of evidence (textual analysis and personal experience) and comparative methodology. Indology sought, as it is seen in the case of F.I. Shcherbatskoy, to unfold the basics of “eternal philosophy” – just like the tradition of intercultural philosophy did – while theosophy believed it had already been revealed in the works of E.P. Blavatsky and applied it as tool of European cultural criticism.","PeriodicalId":46795,"journal":{"name":"VOPROSY FILOSOFII","volume":"160 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":"134887761","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}

Bichurin (1777–1853), connected with the understanding of the concept of xing, conveyed by the hieroglyph 性 in the Chinese educational book of the 13th century Three Word Primer (Sanzijing). It is pointed out that by the beginning of the 19th century Russian philosophical terminology was at the stage of formation, that translations of Russian scientists of foreign-language philosophical works had a great influence on the entry of a particular term into the system of Russian terminological designations. In this regard, the translations of Chinese sources of philosophical content by Bichurin in the middle of the 19th century deserve attention. On the example of one term ‘priroda’ [‘nature’], the author’s methods of interpretation and, from his point of view, the most accurate transmission of the Chinese concept of xing (性) are demonstrated both in the notes and directly in the translation text, using various techniques (epithets, antitheses, stylistic contrast). The translations of the Sanzijing close to Bichurin’s, made by his predecessors, sinologists of the 18th century – Illarion K. Rossokhin (1707–1761) and Alexey L. Leontiev (1716–1786), the peculiarities of the perception of the concept of xing by three translators in similar contexts are noted. The role of the text environment in their attempts to convey a complex concept that had a long-standing internal Chinese worldview evolution is emphasized.","PeriodicalId":46795,"journal":{"name":"VOPROSY FILOSOFII","volume":"38 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":"134888150","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 question of the possibility of talking about existence, referring not only to the existence of man, but also to the existence of an animal, is problematized. The “third wave” of existentialism (or neuroexistentialism) is considered, which concerns anxiety before the “disenchantment” of human nature, which carries new facets of the crisis of meaning. In the development of existentialism, the role of the socio-cultural context is emphasized, its historical stages or “waves” are highlighted. The complex conjugation of the sensual and the rational in existential formation is shown. Experience is interpreted as a multifaceted phenomenon that includes intellectual reflection, embodied in memory, comprehension of situations and events, establishing a connection in personal history. The human experience is culturally loaded, associated with the development and living of cultural archetypes and patterns, and includes the personal work of a person on himself, his growth in the perspective of the always relevant question of meaning and the answer to it. In the context of personal development, the concept of metaexistence is touched upon, which addresses the spiritual maturity of a person, the integration of experience and the experience of meaningfulness and value of life.","PeriodicalId":46795,"journal":{"name":"VOPROSY FILOSOFII","volume":"12 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":"134888588","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}

Proceeding from Aristotle’s Poetics, he claims that poetry is a beautiful (as well as spiritual) imitation of nature, both external (the one we perceive by the senses) and internal (the one we become spiritually aware of). As a result, this “imitation” essentially becomes a transformation of reality. Therefore the imagination and fantasy, or “power of images”, play a significant role in the creation of a poetic work. Jean Paul distinguishes between the following stages of fantasy: simple perception, talanted creativity and the work of genius. Genius, as the highest level of fantasy, possesses two powers: the divine instinct of the subconsious and deliberation. It is precisely genius that is capable of creating Romantic poetry on the basis of the aforesaid powers. The German forerunner of Romanticism compares two poetic epochs: ancient Greek, with its characteristic plasticity, beauty (the ideal), peaceful clarity and moral grace, and the contemporary (Romantic), whose essence consists in its Christian character, sublimity, the beauty of the infinite, the miraculous and marvelous world of the spirits, which are manifested to the soul of the recipient subject by way of a specific organization of the poetic text.","PeriodicalId":46795,"journal":{"name":"VOPROSY FILOSOFII","volume":"246 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":"134888918","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}

Gaidenko. Almost from the very beginning of her philosophical activity it was constantly in the center of her attention. The article briefly traces the main milestones in her consideration of the problem of time – from a dissertation on the philosophy of Heidegger (1963) to a generalizing book “Time. Duration. Eternity. The Problem of Time in European Philosophy and Science” (2006), which sums up many years of Piama Pavlovna’s research on this topic. Here the names of three great Greek thinkers – Plato, Aristotle and Plotinus – appear as symbols of various approaches to understanding time. For a long time, it determined the lines of further theoretical research. In the book the internal semantic echoes that permeate the entire text are very important. Piama P. Gaidenko shows how some models of the interpretation of time, proposed in Antiquity and then in medieval philosophy, are reproduced in various forms in subsequent eras and testify to the complex interaction of philosophical traditions as well as to a change in ways of thinking. The main lines of research outlined in the book clearly show both continuity and differences in approaches to the philosophical understanding of time in different periods. The book expresses not only the philosophical, but also the personal position of Piama P. Gaidenko, which was clearly manifested in the interpretation of the question of the relationship between time and eternity. In this sense, of particular interest is the critique of the characteristic tendency of the philosophy of process, which is reflected in the denial of eternity or understanding it simply as infinite time.","PeriodicalId":46795,"journal":{"name":"VOPROSY FILOSOFII","volume":"43 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":"134889363","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}

Based on the information about consumer habits, style features of behavior, etc., gamification becomes a fairly effective IT tool that contributes to achieving the goals of one or another project by way of constructing artificially player motivation, i.e., in fact, programming for a certain behavior pattern. The paper notes that the Western trend of mass inclusion of games and game technologies in curricula has become a significant reference point for domestic educational policy, and gamification is now discussed as a new, alternative way of organizing learning in educational institutions of our country, which allows to significantly influence student behavior and the effectiveness of learning outcomes. Analyzing possible consequences and trying to take into account the explicit and latent risks, the author concludes that the most alarming trend of gamification implementation in the educational process is the creation of unprecedented opportunities for collecting data on student behavior in the digital educational space. Tracking reactions and psychoemotional state of young people in the course of gamified learning, the use of artificial intelligence technologies, neural networks, the use of learning action analysis technologies, digital footprint analysis – all these may help to build and improve the behavior management strategy required by customers. Here we see the prospects of making a testing range for large-scale work to create additional means of control, standardization and correction with the view to improve the techniques of manipulating the consciousness and behavior of the masses of people. In the author’s opinion, the transformation of learning into a computer game will promote not only a significant deformation of the inner meaning of pedagogics, but also the transformation of student youth into an object of various manipulations using the high-human methodology, which widely applies the tools of smart technology.","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":"134889789","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}
