This paper develops a recent suggestion that Strawson's view can be read as consistent with libertarianism by showing that an important distinction Strawson makes between personal and moral reactive attitudes leaves room to be a Strawsonian compatibilist with respect to personal responsibility and a Strawsonian incompatibilist with respect to moral responsibility. Understanding this possibility reveals a potential gap within Strawson's argument that should be of interest to both Strawsonians and their critics.","PeriodicalId":53558,"journal":{"name":"History of Philosophy Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46850401","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 gives the comparative analysis of the ideas about the Divine of Iyengar and founders of neo-vedanta and the world-famous reformers of Hinduism, such as Ram Mohan Rai, Swami Dayananda, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda. To disclose the specifics of views on the problems of the search for and knowledge of God, the presentation of proofs of the existence of God, the relationship between God and the soul the methods of historic-philosophical reconstruction and comparative analysis were used. The author shows that it is impossible to determine whether Iyengar's teaching belongs to a particular school of Vedanta. Iyengar’s beliefs share the views of the Advaita Vedanta and Vishishta Advaita philosophers. The conclusion that Iyengar philosophical views are an uncritical mixing of the ideas of Western and Eastern religious and philosophical teachings and continue the Neo-Vedanta tradition is done.","PeriodicalId":53558,"journal":{"name":"History of Philosophy Quarterly","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91010418","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}

On the basis of early Nietzsche’s writings the distinction between two rhetoric regimes, stabilization of metaphors and overproduction of metaphors, has been established. In addition to this, the author reveals a conceptual correspondence between rhetoric regimes and apollonian – dionysian pair. Further it is demonstrated that in “Thus spoke Zarathustra” its main character continuously oscillates from one regime to another, and this oscillation is marked with terminological distinction between dream (Traum) and euphoria (Rausch). The author attempts to reconstruct the distinction between tragic hero, which rhetoric purpose consists in control of dionysian metaphors, and overhero-Zarathustra, with use of which Nietzsche tries to exceed an opposition between rhetoric regimes.","PeriodicalId":53558,"journal":{"name":"History of Philosophy Quarterly","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83440059","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}

Kant’s philosophy of religion and morals was its starting point as well late Schelling’s philosophy.

Metaphysics itself (especially in the sense of Aristotle’s “Metaphysics”) was not known in the Slavonic book culture. However, such element of it, as a doctrine on form and matter (two of the four Aristotle’s causes), was assimilated by Old Russian scribes in two forms: in the natural philosophy and in logical categorical one. In the first case, this conception is used to interpret the general principles of the creation of the world, according to the first book of Genesis. In the second, the form is one of the types of universals (the lowest and most specialized kind in the hierarchy). Key sources for the first case are follow: Hexameron of John the Exarch and separated places at the Orationes of Gregory the Theologian with Nicetas of Heraclea’s comments. The logical concept of form was known from translations of the logical works of John of Damascus. In the original Old Russian thought of the XVI century, the most popular was the natural philosophical use of these theories in order to describe creation and to criticize the so-called craft-analogies (Joseph Volotskiy, Maxim the Greek, Zinoviy Otenskiy). In the first half of the 17th century, the scholastic theory of the sacraments, together with the new Latinized terminology, penetrated into the Moscow literature through Western Russian writings. Finally, a case of the influence of hylemorphism is also found in the “The Book of Denunciation” of Protopope Avvakum.","PeriodicalId":53558,"journal":{"name":"History of Philosophy Quarterly","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73893577","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}
