In the article, devoted to the tradition of mysticism in Russia, the nature and forms of mystical comprehension of reality are examined in historical retrospect. The history of the appearance, distribution and change of ways of mastering the world, alternative to science, touches upon the problems of religious and philosophical mysticism. The Orthodox tradition of ishihasm and neoishihasm is analyzed in detail, the importance of its influence on the spiritual life of the society is revealed. The authors introduce historical material about "Alexandrov mysticism" into circulation and comprehend the reasons for strengthening the West European mystical moods in the XIX century. The paper considers the theosophical heritage of E. Blavatsky, the mystical and pedagogical ideas of R. Steiner, «the vitasofia» of J. Bocan, the esotericism of K. Castaneda, who found a large number of admirers in modern Russian society. The authors note that the peculiarity of social consciousness is ideological syncretism and gives the characteristics of this phenomenon. The article analyzes the reasons for the "survivability" of mysticism, the variability of its forms and manifestations, in particular, adaptability to any means of perceiving reality, its desire to merge, or to enter into conflict, with different types of worldview (for example, science, philosophy and religion). The influence of changes in the sphere of informatization and communication on the wide distribution of mystical literature and practices. It is noted that the mechanisms of human interaction with reality through mystical traditions are not always clear, very broad and multivalued, insufficiently studied and require further research
In this article we are going to consider the influence of
creativity on forming the personal identity, crisis of
modern creative activity and its influence on formation
of surrounding reality and existence. The ideas of creativity
in science fiction are analyzed
In particular, the paradigm of complexity, which
claims to be the dominant post-non-classical
philosophy and science, also came under the trend of
diversity. The paper discusses conceptual foundations
of the particle physics. This theme is examined in
connection with problem of logical and philosophical
analysis of physical language and its usage in
cognitive procedures. Features of synergetic as
interdisciplinary scientific direction, the concept of a
universal evolutionism, value of information in
nature development are discussed. Methodological
basis of the process of integration of scientific
knowledge is the interdisciplinary direction of the
research which important component is the
synergetic. It plays an important role in the concept
of coevolution realization which considers mutual
relation of the person and the nature, the micro- and
the mega-world. The article demonstrates that having
revealed the laws of functioning of complexly
evolutionizing, nonlinear systems, synergetic thus
posed the fundamental questions of both
epistemological and ideological and value nature
There were considered the problems and prospects of opponents of ruling liberal ideology – socialism and conservatism in the article. It is proven, that the main problems for socialism and conservatism water down their social basis as well as their exclusion into theoretical area. Dynamics of socialism and conservatism under the influence of neo-liberal practice is rather contradictory and differently directed. From one hand, it makes many left and right politicians take principles of neo-liberalism going to compromise. From other hand, sides strengthen the radicalization of more serious supporters of these ideologies. Nevertheless, the opponents of liberalism are not devoid of prospects. Losing its total character inherent it in the "age of ideology", these ideologies can remain relevant for a partial (molecular) level. Intensifying social inequality present social fields for development of socialistic ideas, but value deformation activate the conservative postulates
In the article, we discuss a possible
institutionalization of postnonclassic ontology. It is
shown that the nonlinearity, deterministic chaos,
fractality phenomena change classic views on
possible forms of existence, cause of nature. The
work discusses conceptual foundations of the particle
physics. This theme is examined in connection with
problem of logical and philosophical analysis of
physical language and its usage in cognitive
procedures. The article refines the modern model of
three-component structure of the Universe on the
basis of post-nonclassical consideration of the
Universe. Features of synergetic as interdisciplinary
scientific direction, the concept of a universal
evolutionism, value of information in nature
development are discussed. Methodological basis of
the process of integration of scientific knowledge is
the interdisciplinary direction of the research which
important component is the synergetic. It plays an
important role in the concept of coevolution
realization which considers mutual relation of the
person and the nature, the micro- and the megaworld.
The article demonstrates that having
revealed the laws of functioning of complexly
evolutionizing, nonlinear systems, synergetic thus
posed the fundamental questions of both
epistemological and ideological and value nature.
Conceptual shifts occurring in cognition open up the
new sides in the interpretation of not just order and
disorder but also the categories they generate
The article considers the main point of liberal ideology, its spontaneous connection with ideas of Enlightenment, reasons of victory of liberalism over ideological competitors. The factors, which water down the integrity of liberalism in present conditions of the Enlightenment, are analyzed, the main trends of modern modification of liberalism (libertarianism, agonal liberalism, Kantian liberalism) are considered. There were determined the possible perspectives of liberalism as a world-view in limits of which there were stated the strong positions of liberalism as a practical rootedness as well as the high popularity of ideas of Enlightenment in scientific communities
The article reveals the thought of hermeneuticity of philosophy by its nature and methods of exposition. Philosophy is not technical, but personal. The study of personal philosophy is impossible without studying the life journey of the philosopher, considering the constitution of his soul and mind. Philosophy always contains a hidden sense that needs to be deployed. It proves the necessity of transition in teaching philosophy to the position of hermeneutics. Insight of philosophy should be sought in education. Only in a condition of insight does man find the direction of his life, reach the fullness of his being. The skill of philosophizing is available only to those who can talk with questions. Sense is born in a "live" dialogue. Asking about the known for the purpose of discovering the unknown sides of the object is the difference between philosophical thinking. Philosophical problematic is diverse and contradictory, and therefore, the existential purpose of philosophy, in the opinion of the authors, is self-interrogation. And philosophical questions do not always require an answer. Philosophical questions do not disappear anywhere; questions are more important than answers. Questions serve as symbols of constant movement and changeability. Uniformity and sameness is not inherent in philosophy. Philosophy is personal, original and impulsive, does not allow invariant judgments. Philosophy should be studied only using a philosophical method
The aim of the article is to demonstrate binarism as a
method of theoretical perception. First of all, the
authors define the initial concept of binarism as a
principle of differentiating binary oppositions which
came from philology into other sciences. Then, they
stipulate the application conditions of binarism as a
methodological principle, namely, both members of
the opposition are stipulated, however, reasoning
should not contain such logical mistakes as ‘defining
through negation’ and ‘range of evidence’.
Subsequently, logic of description is connected with
stipulation of the ‘life’ concept, first, philosophically,
then, using propositions of some natural sciences,
namely, biological and, further on, physical and
astrophysical definitions. Every time the authors use
binary principle in describing these propositions. So,
every time it becomes evident that if death can be
defined as absence of life, the concept of life requires
another approach, based on positive statements, which
is also hard to do as it leads the researchers to the limit
‘nothing’ – ‘everything’; ‘not being’ – ‘being’. The
results of the article have double nature. As the aim of
the investigation was to demonstrate application
features of the definite methodological principle,
representation of the material may be considered as
the aim achievement. In addition, in the concluding
part the authors draw a line, formulating theoretical
propositions, which concern both natural science and
philosophical argumentation
The ideology of the Russian statehood has essential
value both in connection with globalization
tendencies, and in connection with problems of
development of the Russian civil identity. In the
article we give an assessment of shortcomings of
ideological process of the USSR in connection with
the nihilistic attitude towards domestic spiritual
tradition. The main lines of traditional Russian
philosophy essential from the point of view of history
of ideological consciousness in Russia are considered
In the article we have observed the main theoretical
and methodological issues of European philosophy
streams in the second half of XX century, which
refused the image of philosophy as exact science,
based on logic conceptual tool. We have shown the
connection of poststructuralist formations and
structuralist scheme in creating «discourse typology»,
a new discipline which implies philosophy to be
considered as one of literature genres. Structuralists’
search starts from the description of invariable, static
structures that help to create separate pieces of fiction.
The latter are observed as isolated situations in which
these atomic structures are used. Such attitude, as
revealed in the article, results in two deductions. The
first considers literature having no specific features
compared to other types of discourse, i.e. it does not
exist as such. (Ts.Todorov) The second deduction
implies that being aware of the logical creation of any
meaning reader’s hermeneutics is seen as unnecessary.
These deductions resulted in a new scientific
discipline «discourse typology», developed by
structuralists. This stream was continued by
poststructuralists, i.e. strategy to «poetize philosophy»
is justified by the expansion of the object for science
cognition in the direction of not verifiable and not
rationalized, requiring separate methods of study as
well as description language. Consequently,
philosophical discourse becomes that very descriptive
language that helps to overcome «logocentrism» of
traditional thinking. Further in the article we consider
the main «logomachy» strategies developed by
J.Derrida, i.e. «deconstruction», «structure
decentration», «critics of transcendental significatum»,
«critics of structural properties of the construction»
