URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58410
Abstract:
Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology is viewed as an anticipation of information revolution. It offers conceptions
which, by their inner meaning, were philosophically speculative analogues of structural and cognitive and communicative
theorizing. According to the author, it was the source and the beginning of a denial of reality of a phenomenal world (macro
world) as the modern technoscience denies.

justification and practical preservation of time and space variety of existence including ecology of human himself as a main
part of such knowledge.

Truth and Cultural Studies
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 5.
P. 76-85.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58417
Abstract:
The article analyzes the concept of truth in post-unclassical science which studied human-sized systems with a human
viewed as a subject deliberately changing the ontology of an object. Knowledge as a subjective image of an objective world
is filled with a related content combining objectivity with human-sizedness which is reflected in features of truth, deception,
lies and interactions between them. Unlike everyday consciousness which ‘excessively’ uses these categories, and philosophy of
postmodernism which, on the contrary, tends to destruct existence and eliminates truth, lies and deception, the author proves
the idea that there are certain borders of application of these concepts and there are hypostasis and stimulation beyond these
borders. On these grounds the author also proves the alternative nature of cogitation (which learns about existence) and its
stimulation and reveals the importance of understanding their opposition not only in gnoseology and epistemology but also in
cultural studies.

P. 166-175.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58425
Abstract:
The main issue of the article is the question whether there is a rational ‘kernel’ in the process of creation of an art piece
and the way this ‘kernel’ interacts with the sensual element of the process. Describing the structure of the art process starting
from the sensual level, the author proves that there must be a rational element in art. At the end of the article the author concludes
that these two levels form the basis of the third component of the art process, - an artist’s life experience.
