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.

Keywords: philosophy, techno science, cognitivism, the other, trans-modernism, wisdom, identity, phenomenology, administration, antagonism.

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.

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 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.

Keywords: philosophy, responsibility, ethics, values, norms, activity, freedom, individualism, motivation, personality.

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.

Keywords: philosophy, Plato, Heidegger, Natorp, Platonism, Neo-Kantianism, politics, idea, transcendentalism, sovereignty.

The author of the article makes an attempt to define positive achievements of the British academic education which would be applicable in Russia.

Keywords: cultural studies, Britain, globalization, humanism, tutor, system, Russia, education, independency, decision.

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.

Abstract: The article contains certain conclusions based on which the structures of everyday life are some kind of a shelter for his existential state of mind.

Keywords: philosophy, everyday life, values, existence, human, norms, culture, post-modern, existentialism, estrangement.
