On the Claims of ‘Anarchic Philosophy’ (Regarding the Former Article by A.M.Pyatigorsky)
// Philosophy and Culture.
2010. ¹ 9.
P. 56-61.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=57625
Abstract:
The article describes the polemic thoughts on the conception of ‘anarchic philosophy’ by A. M. Pyatigorsky and M. K. Mamardashvili. On the contrary to the thesis on ‘principal a-cultural sensitivity’ of philosophy (i.e., its independence from culturally determined meanings), these authors believe that every philosophical thought is culturally determined: philosophy is nothing else but self-consciousness (auto-reflection) of culture. ‘Anarchic philosophy’ is opposed to ‘totalitarianism of the thought’ but overlooks another threat: defeat of culture which fails to repress the revolt of individualism

What Does the Sociology of Culture Study?
// Philosophy and Culture.
2010. ¹ 9.
P. 62-68.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=57626
Abstract:
Determination of the object field is still a topical issue for the sociology of culture due to the fact that the group of social and humanitarian studies has been significantly expanded lately. This group of sciences study culture and the processes of its social determination. Consequently, the object field of the sociology of culture has been limited which generally lowered the heuristic potential of the results of empirical and theoretical social researches. Distain or refusal from the analysis of ontological characteristics of cultural development often leads to hasty and insufficiently augmented conclusions. The article reveals possible contradictions arising in this sphere and some ways to overcome those
