URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=55682
Abstract:
In the theory of symbol its correlation with the sign is one of the most topical theoretical problems, perhaps, the key one. In many philosophical texts these two terms are confused. At the same time, one needs to divide the two terms, in order to understand the nature of symbol more completely. This article by E.M. Spirova is aimed to solve this problem, based on the works of the recognized European philosophers.

METAMORPHOSES OF POWER
// Philosophy and Culture.

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=55683
Abstract:
It happened many times that successful social management resulted in political explosion. The social managerism is often manipulative. For example, the great gap between the rich and the poor in Russia is quite an example of technocratic thought, aimed to deal with management issues. Another excellent example is the competition between two political parties, both of which were born in the Kremlin administration….

GENESIS OF THE PHYLOSOPHICAL TOPICALITY OF FREEDOM: ANTIQUITY AND PATRICISM
// Philosophy and Culture.
2008. ¹ 3.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=55687
Abstract:
Throughout the ages the problem of freedoms seemed to narrow down to the issue of limits to the intellectual and moral autonomy of a subject, and this is precisely the approach for the modern European thinking, based on the classical tradition, which retains its topicality for more than 2000 years. However, as the author of this article points out, the idea of correlation between freedom and responsibility began to dominate at about III century B.C., with some peculiarities of ancient thinking being taken into account… The classical Greek thought seems to provide examples of the thesis, that no autonomy and no freedom are necessary prerequisites for responsibility.

THE ISSUE OF FREEDOM IN GREEK PATRICISM
// Philosophy and Culture.
2008. ¹ 3.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=55689
Abstract:
As the author of this article points out, the topic of freedom in the Greek patricism is somewhat monotonous, and its essence remains unchanged for more than 1000 years from the II to XI – XIII centuries. So, one can hardly discuss the problem of freedom in the views of the Greek “fathers”. At the same time the Latin West provided a different example, since there the issue of freedom was a problem with serious religious consequences, due to the conflict of human freedom and theological determinism.

THEOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY, PART 1
// Philosophy and Culture.

Abstract:
The ruin of the tradition in the situation of religious pluralism may lead to the spiritual chaos in the Era of Aquarius. As the author of this article points out, in such a situation anthropological problems predefine the contents of philosophy and theology, the structures of co-existence of churches. The anthropological constants predefine the very field for the dialogue, and the philosophical anthropology becomes the necessary dimension of religious studies. That is why the anthropological religious studies may become one of the institutions, which guard and protect the person.

Today an individual, who understands the ethos of science, becomes more modest and careful. He sees how the categories, that he uses, are temporary and unstable. The philosophical anthropology today cannot be imagined without the support of sciences, especially the human sciences. The human sciences in the broader perspective touch upon the philosophical anthropology. What is the modern methodology of human science thinking?
