Abstract:
The report proves the idea that Nietzsche’s conception appeared after Kierkegaard’s but not vice versa. In his article the author made an attempt to reconstruct Nietzsche’s anthropological conception. He noted that dramatic and overall criticism of the essentialists’ model of human eventually made Nietzsche to deconstruct the essentialistic subject created by Aristotle, Boetius and Descartes. Such a ‘death of the subject’ became the key topic of Nietzsche’s later works.

Ethical Essence of Philosophy
// Philosophy and Culture.
2010. ¹ 2.
P. 74-78.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=57189
Abstract:
This article is devoted to the principle and origins of philosophy which peculiarity is the absence of an object. This way, philosophy can be called ‘the science about ignorance’ and addresses to invisible (unconceivable) matter. It is possible to address to it only if we allow ‘invisible’ to ‘happen’, in other words, if we treat it both as a method and a goal. Based on his study, the author concluded that the method of philosophical learning comes from understanding the morals, so we have all rights to say that philosophy has an ‘ethical essence’.

Abstract:
During the last decade Russian scientists have made several attempts to describe the basic models of education and to form them into a certain typology. There is a certain need to systematize educational experience and information about different ways and types of the educational process. Besides that, there is a necessity to establish a coordinate system which would guide through the never-ending number of the past and present educational systems, conceptions, theories, technologies and methods.

Abstract:
This is an extract from the book by the French anthropologist and ethnologist Claude Levi-Strauss in which he had summed up his 20-years of experience in studying myths. The author analyzed the classical theories of myths in psychology (such as Freud’s and Jean Piaget’s theories). It is underlined that the study of myths inevitably raises more profound and difficult questions related to understanding human culture and being.
