Our Civilization in the Epoch of Trans-Modern
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 12.
P. 10-19.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=59001
Abstract:
Modern civilization is turning into a self-developing post-human formation. Cognitivism and
techno science declare that the macro-world reality is nothing else but the projection of calculus mathematics.
The sphere of the ‘other’ existence is created and being developed. This is the epoch of transmodernism.
Humankind is not wise enough to use its knowledge which is growing more and more
dangerous. The only way to save it is to slow up the pace of technological development, fight with the
spontaneity of innovation processes and gain control over it. The author suggests a so-called philosophy
of antagonism.

kind of a shelter for his existential state of mind. On the other hands, these structures make human to protest
or even act with aggression towards the reality. Special attention is paid at the resources which help a
modern human to overcome the inertia of everyday structures, particularly, human’s starvation to keep his
ethnical peculiarity and to review his attitude towards information technologies and etc.

between classical and non-classical aspects of science allowing to unite different scientific methods
and models.

Methodological Grounds for the Classical Conception of Responsibility
in Modern Social Philosophy
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 12.
P. 65-70.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=59006
Abstract:
The article analyzes the process of institutionalization of responsibility. Responsibility is not only
a factor limiting one’s behavior but also a component of human activity in all spheres of his social interactions.
The authors of the article provide a very wide interpretation of responsibility which takes into account
the diversity of its forms, types and underlying motives. The ethics of responsibility lay emphasis on anticipation
of consequences of one’s activity and imply one’s choice based on the requirements of professional
norms.

Plato and His Political Idea (Platonism of Neo-Kantian Philosophers and
Heidegger’s Anti-Platonism)
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 12.
P. 71-83.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=59007
Abstract:
The article analyzes Neo-Kantian interpretation of Plato’s works (most of all, in, Natorp’s book
‘Plato’s Theory of Ideas’) and its influence on Heidegger’s philosophy. Neo-Kantian philosophers gave Plato
special credit for invention of the ‘logical’, but their interpretation of Plato’s texts demonstrates their ignorance
of political contents of Plato’s dialogues. Despite the deep interest for ‘politics’ during his epoch, Heidegger
could take Neo-Kantian image of Plato at his own evaluation and base on such an image in his own
philosophy because it was a perfect variant to realize Nietzsche’s plan of ‘overcoming the platonism’. At the
same time, Heidegger’s own views are, in fact, very similar to the elements of Plato’s philosophy ignored by
Non-Kantian philosophers. A typical example here is his interpretation of the ‘idea about the good’ as an
insight revealed to very few ‘free minds and genius artists.

Religious Studies: from Study to Science?
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 12.
P. 84-94.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=59008
Abstract:
Based on religious studies, the author of the article criticizes modern post-positivistic demarcation
of science and non-science and shows its potentials and advantages on the basis of the qualitative difference
between values and knowledge. Peculiarities of values and knowledge as the two irreducible and
interacting phenomena are described on the basis of ‘out of cognition’ and ‘cognitive’ acts of consciousness
– feelings and reasoning. The author suggests new criteria for demarcation which depend on predominance
of values or knowledge, as well as researches of irregularity, failure and perspectives of religious studies as
a science (and theology as a study which is not related to mere knowledge).
Keywords:
philosophy, demarcation, theology, religious studies, values, knowledge, science, non-science, consciousness, phenomenology.

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=59009
Abstract:
The article contains a philosophical analysis of the category ‘Universum’ in science, cultural philosophy
and mystics of the 20th century. The author of the article pays much attention at determination of general fundamental onto-gnoseological aspects of the Universum. Comparative analysis very well shows
that the main general feature of the concerned Universum models is the recognition of communication and
noosphere progress as the essential factor of development of the Universum.
