metaphysical approaches to the problem of interpersonal communication. Based upon Hegel’s idea about

of culture from the point of view of its developing from the desiring consciousness (Me-Not Me) to the accepting
consciousness (Me-You, general communicative mind) to the universal consciousness (transcendent
communication). Such a process of development would represent a step by step ascension of the humanity in

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58434
Abstract:
The article views the two types of micro-societies existing in the global area of power, - the church
and the sect. The latter are based on the two types of discipline, - authoritarian discipline and the discipline

discipline of self-organization, on the one hand, and political technologies and controlling mechanisms, on
the other hand. A certain balance between them is called the disciplinary balance.
The author pays attention at the universal nature of principles of organization of a society at the micro and
macro levels, hierarchization being the most important tool for the political structuring of the micro-society.
It is noted that coarse, Mongol-like technologies have prevailed at the macro-level in the Russian area. However,
autochthonous technologies have dominated for many centuries at the micro-level.

Idiom is viewed as an interaction between the two natures and the two languages, - everyday
and metaphoric languages. The author shows the role of a religious philosophy principle of communicatio
idiomatum, due to which the idiom is happened to be at the crossing of anthropology, ethics, gnoseology and
ontology. In the context of idiom formation the author also casts light on the topic of the inner form (Plotin,
Wilhem von Humboldt, Shpet, Potebnya, Bibikhin). Therefore, the idiom is not quite a linguistic, but philosophical
phenomena.

// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 6.
P. 107-113.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58439
Abstract:
The Mother of God is treated with much respect in the land around Suzdal. Many churches there
have been built in Her name and She is believed to be the protector of the Vladimir-Suzdal region. Since
Vladimir Monomakh built there the first stone Cathedral of the Assumption of Mother of God and the Monastery
of the Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple in early 12th century, Suzdal became an architectural
implementation of the sacral symbol ‘Town of the Mother of God’ which is also proved by the fact that many
churches dedicated to the Mother in God have been built there later. Holidays of the theotokion cycle and
churches dedicated to those, - such as Birth, Presentation in the Temple, Annunciation, Assumption, Holy
Protection have successively elaborated the idea of protection of Suzdal land and its citizens by the Mother
of God.

B. Latour. Attempt of a New Look on People and Material Things in a Scientific
Research
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 6.
P. 121-131.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58441
Abstract:
Starting from the middle of the 20th century, philosophers have been discussing the role of
social factors in the history of science. Social epistemology have become a logical continuation of this
discussion about the ‘social nature of science’. However, this scheme of ‘classical and social epistemologies’
is too narrow to understand such a philosopher as B. Latour. In his conception he went outside the
borders both classical and social epistemologies. In the 20th century researches do not stop at the stage
of non-classical epistemology, either. They go further and begin to question ideas of non-classical epistemology
as well.

Christian Metaphysics and Genesis of Classical Science
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 6.
P. 142-150.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58443
Abstract:
As the basic methodological guides for viewing the mechanisms of interaction between science and
religion it is important to consider the binary oppositions ‘naturalism- creationism’ and ‘critical rationalism
– sacral nature of orthodoxy’. Christianity outlines the block of gnoseological, ontological and moral
metaphysical concepts. Science as a novation in the sphere of realization of human creative potentials is possible
only on the basis of a certain level of thinking activity which is achieved, particularly, in the course of
development of a religious consciousness – an ability to make references, form abstract and general notions,
carry out experiments and etc. Based on the idea of ecocentrism, it is quite topical today to substantially fill
in the spiritual concepts with philosophical, scientific and religious components as a part of starvation for
the ideal universal knowledge introduced by V. S. Solovyev.

// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 6.
P. 162-169.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58445
Abstract:
In the context of non-classical epistemology, on a way to denial from being centered on science
and to orientation on esthetic knowledge introduced by Russian symbolists, today we can witness the new
unusual approaches to understanding the world, role and place of human, harmonization of human and the
surrounding world in order to overcome the catastrophic confrontation between them.
The article describes Vyacheslav Ivanov’s epistemological idea that trough rising above and denial from his
own subjectivity with a help of a certain esthetical mood Artist can actually understand the deep nature of
existence which is inaccessible for rational and sensual ways of learning.
According to Vyacheslav Ivanov, Artist-creator finds the truth in the process of a synthetic act – Mystery.
The article is also focused on epistemological methodology of Vyacheslav Ivanov’s esthetics.
