Ceremonial and Actual Superiority in Byzantine Polemics about the Rome
Primacy
// Philosophy and Culture.
2012. ¹ 3.
P. 15-26.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=59299
Abstract:
The problem of ceremonial priorities and actual superiority is one of the main issues of late Byzantine
polemics with the Latin West. Despite the fact that the idea of the Pope primacy was met with rebuke
among Byzantine authors, many polemists based their arguments on specific conceptions of Barlaam of
Seminara who viewed hierarchy of episcopate as a ceremonial formality and, in act, denied the idea of actual
superiority. Early Byzantine views on the subject of superiority suggests a wider solution o the problem
where the superiority is understood as special service but not just a ceremonial function.

The main goal o this article is to clarity the term ‘escapism’, to analyze how it originated and how
it is used in modern socio-humanitarian sciences. It is shown that the term ‘escapism’ is very rarely studied

not only from the point of view of alienation of a person from the other world but also as an efficient creative
force as one of the elements of individual consciousness.

Abstract:
The article considers current approaches to interpretation of computer metaphor of consciousness
in modern philosophy of consciousness and analyzes justification of the analogies ‘consciousness — mind’
and ‘program — hardware’. Based on the sign of such relation, the author suggests his own classification of
approaches: algorithmic, causal-cultural and causal-biological approaches to interpretation of computer
metaphor of consciousness. Base on this classification, the author makes certain conclusions about their role
in ontology and gnoseology and considers the perspectives of the idea about the ‘strong’ artificial intellect in
the framework of existing approaches to development of the artificial intellect.
