THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY
Aim. To reveal the comprehensive features of the Russian feeling and reason of personal immortality in the historical and philosophical context.
Methodology. The corpus of texts of the corresponding authors was analyzed logically, semantically and hermeneutically: from A. S. Pushkin to Fr. Sergius Bulgakov and I. A. Ilyin.
Results. A conclusion was made about the antinomic-true specificity of the Russian feeling and reason of personal immortality in their metaphysical, socio-philosophical and anthropological dimensions.
Research implication. The traditional domestic value of personal immortality in its Orthodox-secular and especially military aspect has been actualized.
Aim. Disclosure of the existential meaning of being as a unique event of human existence in the fundamental ontology of M. Heidegger as a result of the historical and philosophical analysis of his creative heritage.
Methodology. Methods of dialectical and hermeneutic research are used in conjunction with comparative and historical-philosophical analysis of the non-classical specificity of the philosophical foundations of M. Heidegger’s fundamental ontology.
Results. The fundamental principle of the existence of being in its anthropological implementation is the event (Ereignis), understood as a deep dimension of time, which in each of its moments manifests itself in the form of being-here or Dasein. The unique specificity of the phenomenon of man is fundamentally manifested through the temporality of his existence as the basis of his own authenticity acquired through it in a non-identical form of self-determination, thus allowing him to join the eternally fulfilling being. In this regard, a distinction is made between the classical understanding in the history of philosophy of being as Sein and the non-classical as Seyn, designated within the framework of the conceptual position in fundamental ontology by M. Heidegger as “being”, which is present, personifying an infinite number of various events fulfilled in interconnection with each other. The metaphysically static construction of the understanding of being as capital manifests itself in the form of a position that is overcome through an existential rethinking of the phenomenon of man and his figuratively idealized “I” as a receptacle of event-formed accomplishments in the form of being-here. Thus, an event, as a clearing of being, is declared to be the source of unlimited human freedom, which is built from his acceptance of his own mortality as a fundamental condition for the uniqueness of the emergence and acquisition of existential value of a meaningfully constructed self in the process of its boundless individuation.
Research implications. The results of the study can be used as an expanded idea of the existential content of the human phenomenon and its various relationships with being for further in-depth theoretical understanding of the previously unexplored horizons of its unique self-actualization. In particular, the identified research results can contribute to the improvement of theoretical knowledge in the field of history of philosophy, ontology and anthropology, as well as their applied use in the field of existential psychotherapy.
PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Aim. Based on philosophical methodology, the content and functions of practice are disclosed in detail, and the category of “practice” is defined in a modern edition.
Methodology. The work was carried out based on a systematic approach using methods of classification and comparative analysis.
Results. The functionality of practice has been identified, which is represented by a number of essential positions, without which not only development, but also the very existence of society is impossible. The presented functions are, of course, organically connected with each other, they complement each other, thereby forming a complex, multi-level system of functions of practice. The functions considered, to one degree or another, encourage us to realize the practical (and praxeological) nature of philosophy, as well as the practical possibilities of the philosophical (general scientific) algorithm of cognition, which, unfortunately, remain underestimated at the present time.
Aim. To identify prerequisites and background ideas that allowed the Russian scientist N. A. Vasiliev to develop one of the first systems of classical polysemy known as imaginary logic and to justify the poetic ideas of the Kazan thinker as heuristic clues that allowed overcoming the inertia of traditional logic and adapt it to the needs and requirements of cognition.
Methodology. The study is based on the inductive generalization of facts of history and culture, the comparative historical method, general scientific methods of synthesis and analysis, the biographical principle, and the principle of transcendental unity of consciousness of an individual.
Results. The author identified the position of poetic creativity in the formation of N. A. Vasiliev’s logical and socio-philosophical concept. The appeal to poetry allowed discovering the origin of social and philosophical views of Vasiliev. Symbolism, being a system of poetic thinking, is behind the ideas that urged Vasiliev to create the first non-classical multivalued numerical system.
Research implications. Conclusions drawn in the article allow understanding the origin of N. A. Vasiliev’s discoveries and clarifying his creative biography.
SOCIAL AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
Aim. To carry out a socio-philosophical analysis, substantiation and identification of the specifics of management philosophy.
Methodology. The author uses a systemic and comparative approach, allowing a detailed examination of the research problem. This work is the development of a methodological basis for social philosophy, management theory for further implementation in management activities, as well as the definition of a new subject field of management philosophy – the management consciousness of managers.
Results. The development of management philosophy as a practical theory was considered as a result of the connection between the theory and practice of management on the one hand, and social philosophy on the other.
Research implications. The article discloses the author’s approach in defining management philosophy. The practical component is the definition of the role of management philosophy for management theory and social philosophy, taking into account the importance of the anthropological approach.
Aim. To identify the value, place and role of human in project activities.
Methodology. The essence and content of social design are analyzed from the point of view of dialectical and axiological approaches. In order to identify the human value in project activities, methods of analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction were used. The application of the methodology of the system-integrative approach made it possible to consider project activity as an integral process, and the situational approach allowed us to identify the features of motivation for project activities of various categories of its participants.
Results. From the standpoint of the axiological approach, a characteristic of social design is given and the influence of human values as the highest value-goals on it is substantiated. It is revealed that the key meanings of project activity are the public benefit and satisfaction of the needs of project participants, which are dialectically interrelated. At the same time, the conditions for the successful implementation of project activities there is harmony between the public benefit of the project and its orientation to the needs and goals of the project participants, as well as the recognition of a person as a value throughout all stages of design.
Research implications. The article substantiates the values of human and society as the axiological foundations of project activity and their impact on the process and results of social design at its various stages.
Aim. To analyze the concept of traditional values through the prism of various existing approaches to its interpretation, as well as in the context of the basic ideologemes that led to its formation.
Methodology. The study consistently examines the path of modern Russian society towards the conception of traditional values, beginning from realization of the shortage of “spiritual staples”and finishing with approval of their detailed list at the legislative level. Various approaches to the interpretation of traditional values are analyzed, starting with destructive ones that deny them conceptual significance and relevance for various reasons, and ending with constructive ones that interpret values from concrete-historical or more wide philosophical positions. The most significant ideologemes are identified and analyzed as the worldview foundations of the conception of traditional values. To realize the stated research directions, the methods of analysis and synthesis, historical and logical methods, dialectical method, systematic method, methods of analogy and extrapolation are complexly applied.
Results. The study shows that there are various interpretive approaches to the list of Russian traditional values. The most productive of them is the philosophical approach, which focuses on the most wide, integrative perception of the analyzed phenomenon. The formation of traditional values relates to several worldview foundations, the most important of them are “Moscow – the Third Rome” and “Orthodoxy. Monarchy. Nationality”. For a long time, these ideologemes determined the vector of Russia’s development, the specifics of the national consciousness of its people and the value system they were forming. They can be considered a full embodiment of the “Russian spirit”, which guided the people of Russia throughout the entire path of its historical development, guaranteed the safety of its fundamental worldview constants under any, and even the most unfavorable circumstances.
Research implications. The theoretical significance of the study is related to the consideration of traditional values from the standpoint of various modern approaches to their interpretation and a critical assessment of these approaches. It is also theoretically significant to comprehend the worldview foundations of traditional values in the format of the ideologemes that led to their appearance. The practical significance of the research is due to the very topic of consideration – traditional values, that are the moral guidelines determining the worldview of Russian people, forming the foundation for the development of modern Russian society. Considering traditional values as the most important and significant for our people collective representations helps to integrate them into the consciousness and worldview of Russians, turns them into a practical guideline for actioning in modern Russia.
Aim. To comprehend the embodiment of the ideas of Russian cosmism in the ergo-design of the environment of life.
Methodology. The author drew the main initial scientific knowledge from the research of the Bryansk Scientific and Philosophical School of Socio-technological Development of the world, using interdisciplinary, systemic, socio-technological, historical and ergo-centric approaches, as well as general scientific methods.
Results. The analysis showed that Russian cosmism, which is a unique philosophical trend focused on the integration of human with space and nature, had a significant impact on the formation of a new scientific direction in the design of the living environment – ergo-design. Today, ergo-design is an approach that seeks to harmonize human interaction with other elements of the system through the creation of comfortable and safe living conditions. The main goal of ergo-design, based on the ideas of Russian cosmism, is to create ergonomic, ecologically balanced living spaces at the global, national and local levels, which, in turn, contributes to the harmonization of social and natural processes. However, in the context of global challenges, a reconsideration of the ergo-design methodology is required. Its vector should shift towards the design of not just ecologically balanced spaces, but a biosphereoriented object-spatial environment of vital activity, which is based on nature-like systems, products and technologies. Only such transformation of ergo-design can lead to the harmonization of society, the technosphere and the biosphere. The article explores the systemic principles of ergo-design, reveals its importance for modern design and examines its cultural and philosophical aspects, as well as the features that make ergo-design an important tool for harmonizing living conditions in a complex sociotechnological world.
Research implications. The article provides a formation of a socio-philosophical approach to understanding the role of Russian cosmism in the ergo-design of harmonious subject-spatial socio-technological and natural environments of life.
Aim. Analysis of the content, structure and evolution of the phenomenon of “human physical culture”.
Methodology. A socio-philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of “human physical culture” is carried out. Based on the dialectical approach, the interrelation of the general, special and singular, its content and structure are analyzed. The principles of development and universal connection, the unity of historical and logical, and social determinism are used in considering the evolution of the phenomenon of “human physical culture”.
Results. The author has identified the essence of the concept of “human physical culture” and characterized its basic, professional and athletic levels. Defining health as the leading value of human physical culture, he substantiated the health-improving, recreational, rehabilitation and hygienic functions of human physical culture. It was revealed that a person’s physical culture changed under the influence of various socio-economic, political and spiritual factors. The analysis of this evolution has led to the conclusion that at present human physical culture is focused on ensuring the comprehensive development of personality for its successful functioning and development in an information society.
Research implications. The article reveals the content and structure of the phenomenon of “human physical culture”, as well as its evolution from the moment of its origin in the first human communities to modern society.
Aim. Assessment of the fiction as a kind of deception, taken in its negative connotations and as a phenomenon of opposition to truth as a value universality of social life.
Methodology. The article presents a socio-philosophical analysis of deception in the series of relevant concepts (truth, lie, fiction, trickster) and as constants of social relations. Using phenomenological and hermeneutic approaches, it is shown that fiction as one of the practices of deception, on its own scale, is found in the society of mass culture.
Results. The study of the mechanisms of fiction as a form of deception has shown that this practice is a constant of social and interpersonal relations.
Research implications. The theoretical and practical significance of the work consists in the problematization and conceptualization of fiction as a practice of deception, which is important for understanding the transformation of social relations under the conditions of modern challenges.
Aim. To analyze the specifics of the use of the term “ecophilosophy / ecosophy” in modern Englishlanguage philosophical discourse.
Methodology. The key research method was content analysis. The content of the works of Matthew Hrulew (Australia), Alan Drengson (Canada), Nancy Huffman Shea, Elizabeth Satoris, Gary Snyder and John Griffin (USA) was analyzed.
Results. According to the results of the study, the thesis is put forward that eco-philosophy, including in the English-speaking research space, comes to the level of not just one of the scientific directions, but gets the status of a certain type of conceptual and attitudinal space.
Research implications. The results of the study contribute to the methodological basis of such an actively developing direction of philosophical thought as ecophilosophy. New material on the topic under study is introduced into the Russian-speaking scientific turnover.
