The missing core of Cassirer’s philosophy: Homo Faber in abstracto (translated by
T.S. Karachentsova).
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 1.
P. 9-24.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=57963
Abstract:
As the title of the article implies, Cassirer’s project has a philosophical and systematic (not only
philosophical) meaning indeed. Secondly, Cassirer’s philosophy has a central principle and thirdly, this central
principle is not well developed and does not apply to the cultural phenomena it was supposed to explain.
Therefore, all Cassirer’s works represent a program of systematic epistemology of history in the fi rst place
and the material which needs to be interpreted and explained by epistemology, on the other hand. Cassirer’s
works have a certain order which suggests a progressive epistemological development but Cassirer has never
applied the central principle of his epistemology – his interpretation of ‘symbol’ – to demonstrate and
explain this epistemological development.

Abstract:
It is possible nowdays to ascertain that a new situation bearing on attempts to rethink the phenomenon
of time is coming up. Any similar approaches could be executed on the ground of a wide interdisciplinary
synthesis for different disciplines offer incomplete notions of objective time. Proceeding from
this premises, one may assume that valuable concept of time should not be formed within the limits of any
separate scientifi c fi eld but could be solely inferred out of multidimensional interdisciplinary context. For
this reason it is indispensable to direct basic attention to both particular features of various domains of time and methods of investigation of temporality in diverse rinds of scientifi c knowledge.

P. 59-66.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=57968
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the problems of identity and transcultural dialogue based on the example
of creative work by a South Korean fi lmmaker Kim-Ki-duk. Based on the analysis of his fi lm ‘Spring,
Summer, Autumn, Winter… and Spring Again’ the author explicates the problem of personal self-identifi -
cation in connection with the growing dialogue of cultures. In this fi lm the problem of a person losing his
place in a modern world is interpreted from the point of view of Buddhism. Based on the author, the main
achievement of Kim-Ki-duk is that he revealed the concept of identity from heuristic point of view and
showed how important it is to free our minds from mass media stereotypes in order to understand the true
meaning of human identity.

Responsibility Of Human And Irresponsiblity Of Technology.
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 1.
P. 92-100.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=57971
Abstract:
The author views technology as a form of human communication and a communication strategy
invented by human in order to govern the world. But the world around is the human world. When we ask
about technology, we ask about human, his purposes, values and responsibility. From this point of view connection
between technology and morals are viewed as a link between responsibility and human rationality,
i.e. culture and society. It seems obvious that such connection does not have any perspectives. However,
the author thinks he knows how to unite technology and culture and how to prevent us from the confl ict
between human and technology.

Abstract:

esthetics. In this regard the author also raises a question whether it is rightful to assume that Checkov’s

poetics and parallels with L. Tolstoy’s, F. Dostoevsky’s works and west-European romanticism of the 19th
century.
