Gurevich, P. S. The Variety of Human Reason (Reviews of the Books Published by the Kanon+ Publishing House)
Abstract:
Being an undeniable achievement of the humanity, human mind is subject to severe phenomenological expertise
today. Many researchers continue to reflect upon an amazing ability of a human to grasp the essence of
phenomena, to catch the meaning and to create a rational picture of the world. So far mind has been viewed as the
achievement of human. However, in recent years researchers have been talking more and more often about the variety
of different forms of reasoning. In particular, when studying different epochs and cultures, historians came to the
conclusion about different mental skills peculiar for different national communities. However, no one has ever before
doubted the immutability and unity of human mind as a unique possession of people. But today researchers try to
prove that a European, for example, has serious difficulties understanding Japanese reasons. It is not only the other
mentality but even a different source of mental operations. Carl Jung once noted that aborigines thought Americas
wee stupid because their thoughts were born in their minds while aborigines believed that a thought should be born in
one’s heart. Back in those times it was just an ethnographic detail but nothing else. Maybe it is time today to study and
understand this problem. These are the issues the books published by the Kanon + Publishing House are devoted to.
