Does the Material Exist without Movement?
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 7.
P. 30-42.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58522
Abstract:
The article is devoted to transformation of the picture of the world in natural science due to the
discovery of dark sides of the Universe (dark energy and dark mass). It is assumed that the dark energy and
then dark mass are the two types, or forms, of the material in additional to substance, and each of this type
has their own origin and characteristics. The dark energy which is often interpreted as the cosmic vacuum
and comprise of almost the three fourths of the Universe, the material neither moves, nor changes. This
contradicts to the provision in philosophy about a close connection between the material and the movement.
The author also makes a suggestion on how to solve this contradiction from the point of view of experts in
cosmology.

// Philosophy and Culture.

P. 43-49.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58523
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the issues related to transformation of the objective social and philosophical
discourse into the cultural communicative discourse. Based on the author, such transformation happens
when we realize the fact that forms of human communication and t ypes of intersubjective c ultural communities
constitute and organize the social reality. Formation of intersubjective communities start with the
‘I-You’ and ends with the general ‘Us’. The author of the article considers the most famous naturalistic social
and philosophical conceptions of communicative and cultural interactions in the sphere of ‘Us’, - such as
Hannah Arendt, Jurgen Habermas and Karl-Otto Apel.

// Philosophy and Culture.

Abstract:
Philosophy is a special intellectual and spiritual activity aimed at determination of conditions,
forms and meaning of human freedom. In this regard, any philosophy is a philosophy of freedom. No matter
what a philosopher talks about, he thinks about human and therefore, culture first of all. The culture is based
on a complex structure of values and freedom is one of these values. All other cultural values correlate with
freedom this way or another, gaining their own ‘ontological status’ by doing so.

Causality and Collective Memory in Mythological and Analytical Types
of Perception of the World
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 7.
P. 72-83.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58526
Abstract:
The type of causality and the type of collective memory dominating in a society complete each
other because they keep order (collective memory, in particular, based on a ritual and archetype – in mythology,
causality principles and the idea of a regular pattern of phenomena – in analytics) and enable
natural changeability at the same time (consequently, mythological principles of causality and analytical
collective memory, i. e. writing. In a more general case, they ensure psychological adaptation of human to all
kinds of situations, both stable and instable ones. Consciousness and unconsciousness play a compensating
role here: if the concept of causality is based on the concept of order (as it is in analytics) than the collective
memory assumes fixation of exclusions and demand further development of writing. However, if the concept
of causality is related to the concept of exclusivity (which is typical for mythology) , then the collective
memory, on the contrary, shall assume fixation of the homogenous elements (time cycles, organization in
space, types and archetypes of behavior and etc.) and be based on verbal tradition.

philosophy, principle, causality, memory, complementarity, letter, mythology, analytics, dominating, perception of the world.

Abstract:
The analysis of personal pronouns allow to define a series of operations enabling their interpretation
and showing the ‘shuttle’ movement. First of all, it works for translation of the personal pronoun ‘I’ into
‘It’. The possibility to transfer the identification of the first person to the third person demonstrate how the
old, no more used language still show itself in our speech. Their crossing is the crossing of logical beginnings
(personal and impersonal) and their interactions.

Abstract:

in Mouller van den Bruck’s work ‘The Third Reich’ and his theory of the ‘third way’ opposing to both
the liberal ‘Americanization’ and ‘Bolshevikization’ of Germany during a so-called ‘conservative revolution’

Non-Violence Ethics as an Escape from the Moral Risk
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 7.
P. 137-149.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58532
Abstract:
The article well shows that a traditional claim against non-violence ethics disguising simple
helplessness and cowardice is beneath any criticism. However, imperative non-violence can hide a spiritual
and psychological pragmatics of another kind – intention of a subject to avoid any risks in the sphere
of moral improvement. The author of the article assumes that non-violence ethics is indeed an escape
from the moral risk, and this tendency ruins the basic moral about sincere starvation towards the other
person’s well-being. This study is based on such concepts as L. N. Tolstoy’s moral doctrine and M. Weber’s
phenomenology.

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58533
Abstract:
The article is devoted to adaptation of scholars to socio-cultural space and time, social relations
and culture. Adaptive function of socialization is understood as a presence of a scholar in a certain sociocultural
environment, i. e. at the crossing point of a certain socio-cultural time and space. Creative teaching
civilization reflects the idea o up-bringing instead of the idea of forming. Socialization and adaptive
function are closely connected with the level of publicity. The system of education is the only social system
which binds a person’s life with a destiny of a civilization.

Pont de Nemours: Spread of Physiocratic Ideas in the Context of Struggle
of European States for Domination
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 7.
P. 155-182.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58534
Abstract:
The name of Pont de Nemours associates with the spread of physiocratic ideas in Europe. The
first major success was reached when the French government made a step from mercantile politics defending
interests of manufacturers, to stimulation of national agriculture farming. However, very soon this
measure was canceled. Representatives of the physiocratic teaching found their followers in Switzerland,
Sweden and a number of other countries. Attempts to get Ekaterina the Great interested was a failure.
Russia was strengthening its positions in the world as a result of military success of Orlov, Suvorov, Rumyantsev.
The peasant servage only developed. The most active and bold peasants ran away to the South
and East an djoined Kazakhs there. The Tsar government had enough power to struggle with both foreign
enemies and to keep the peasants serve. The dispute between followers of physiocratic teaching whether
a free game of market laws or this or another form of the state regulation was more effective for national
economy was started again in Russia during the rule of Eltsin. Eltsin ‘shocking therapy’ led to heavy losses
in economy and a catastrophic fall of living standards. Eltsin’s successor, Putin, renewed the forms of state
control which were appropriate for the Russian economy. Lock’s successor, Pont de Nemours established
theoretical grounds for the bourgeois idea of sovereignty and opposed it to the feudal conception of the
divine origin of a King.
