How and Where the Humanitarian Paradigm Shifts?
// Philosophy and Culture.
2009. ¹ 10.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=56981
Abstract:
Review: the crisis in humanism has reached the stage when philosophers deny human nature and human spiritual and physical identity. The stage is also known as ‘trans humanism’. The author analyzed attempts to modify the humanitarian paradigm ‘in draft’. All of them, however, are related to the same idea of substituting people by ‘transhumans’. In the second part of the article the author discussed the ideas of poliontism and the turn in traditional phenomenology of philosophy. According to the author, those ideas could help to keep the traditional Homo vitae sapiens

I and Thou: the Problem of Intersubjectivity in Martin Buber’s Anthropology
// Philosophy and Culture.
2009. ¹ 10.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=56982
Abstract:
Review: Martin (Mordechai) Buber (1878-1965) is one of the most interesting and mysterious philosophers of the 20th century. It is very difficult to describe his creative work as just ‘I-It’ and ‘I-You’ relationships. However, most of the modern philosophers tend to see him as the creator of a Judaic version of religious existentialism which is also called ‘dialogical theology’

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=56987
Abstract:
Review: the main content of the article is a review of such concepts in philosophical anthropology which ascribe the status of the moral object to certain creatures or material things based on their ‘inherent worth’ or ‘natural rights’. It is shown that the mentioned status does not depend on inherent worth because such the moral object is formed under the influence of a number of objective cultural and historical factors

Abstract:
Review: starting from the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries human culture and esthetics has been facing certain processes which change the traditional understanding of their nature and content as well as their role in a life of a modern man. It happens due to the development of the world and new processes in spiritual and material existence of the human world, from changes in the system of values, ideals and their presentation in modern art and culture to new forms of relations with the world. Most of all it is related to ongoing changes in culture and art because those reflect the world of spiritual values and ideals

Friedrich Schiller about Anthropological Type of Human
// Philosophy and Culture.
2009. ¹ 10.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=56989
Abstract:
Review: In his ‘Letters about Aesthetical Education of Human’ Schiller described the results of his studies of the anthropological type of human. It takes only spiritual revolution to create such a type of a person. Schiller paid much attention at aesthetical education because aesthetics, according to Schiller, is nothing else but a science causing such a revolution in spirits. Aesthetics is a very important part of Schiller’s philosophical views because it has a strong and nourishing impact on a human being
