Abstract:

Abstract: the article contains philosophical and experimental evidence that the thought is spacial and material. The thought is viewed as an unknown and unexplored penetrative field form of matter. The author talks about a very important attribute of the matter on the whole, the memory. Based on this attribute, he has concluded that the Universe was born due to that attribute and eternal changes and movement of the matter. The author has given a broader definition of the “matter” and stressed out that, having reached a certain stage of evolution, it gave birth to the conscience. The proved spacial and material nature of the thought has allowed to build the hypothesis which explains the old illusion about “soul reincarnation” from the point of view of the materialistic philosophy. The author has also given a very unusual explanation of the human unconsciousness.

Keywords: philosophy, field form of the matter, attribute, memory, hypnotic sleep, the unconscious, soul reincarnation.

Abstract: the idea of opening theological faculties in universities has been widely discussed lately. Raising the issue of relations between religion and philosophy, S. Neretina, A. Ogurtsov and V. Rozin (All PhDs at Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences) insisted that such an approach to science and philosophy would surely be a failure. The main principle of philosophy of education had always been, they said, the autonomy of universities from the church and government.

Keywords: philosophy, religion, science, Orthodoxy, dogma.

Abstract: The article talks about a symbol as a concept of philosophical anthropology. The author tries to show a double function of a symbol which can act both as an image and a concept. Such interpretation of symbol was supported by the members of the Thesis Board when the author defended his thesis for a Doctor’s degree. At the same time, the thesis arose many discussions and debates. In this article the author is answering questions asked by Valery Alexandrovich Podoroga during defense who noted that symbol was closer to an image than a philosophical concept.

Keywords: philosophy, symbol, concept, philosophical anthropology, image, mystics, analysis.

Abstract: This article is a polemic response to V. A. Kutyrev’s monographs ‘Philosophical Image of our Time (Lifeless Worlds of Post-Human) (Smolensk, 2006); ‘Human and the Other: Struggle of the Worlds’ (S. Petersburg, 2009)

Keywords: philosophy, human, realism, phenomenology, V. A. Kutyrev, post-modernism, post-modern, post-human

Abstract: The author tells his own opinion on Vladimir Alexandrovich Kutyrev works. It makes us think of the section ‘polemics’ in Philosophy and Culture journal. However, the section ‘polemics’ suggests that the other authors’ views are treated delicately. ‘Let them talk’ is the name of a TV show. However, it does not reflect the meaning of philosophical polemics. The author admits that even he isn’t quite sure that he follows the rule of polemics regarding the other article of the journal. He still hopes he will be understood
