The Weber Controversy: the Problem of Periodization of the Emergence of Capitalism

Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Sat, 11/23/2024 - 18:38

Many contemporary researchers suggest rejecting Weber’s approach, linking the formation of modern capitalism to Protestantism, as completely false. In particular, they point out the complexity of periodization: in their opinion, capitalism did not arise in the Reformation era, but much earlier. The article substantiates the thesis that the attempt to refute the Weber thesis by pointing out the incorrectness of its periodization seems unconvincing.

The key point of Laurence BonJour’s coherentist conception of the justification of empirical knowledge is the coherentist concept of observation, which (a) postulates that there is a special class of cognitively spontaneous beliefs with which the system’s beliefs must cohere in order to be considered justified; (b) their reliability is determined within the system as a consequence of our generalization on a set of facts when a belief appears, and it is highly likely to be true, and it is likely to appear in a situation in which it will be true; and (c) the subject has the ability to reflexi

The paradox of the “Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus” in the article is expressed as follows: according to the final theses of the Tractatus, we have to recognize its propositions as senseless, but at the same time, despite the conclusion that everything said in the Tractatus is senseless, we must remain committed to the ideas expressed in the body of the Tractatus, since we recognize its propositions as senseless on the basis of these ideas. The paradox is considered from the point of view of two conflicting interpretations – metaphysical and resolute readings of the book.

In modern philosophy, the status of the concept of the thing-in-itself and the history of its origin and transformation are being conceptualized. This article examines the conceptual shift that happened to the notion of the thing-in-itself in XIX century philosophy, because this notion still remains important in the context of the possibility of having knowledge about reality and the status of reality itself. The rethinking of the thing-in-itself in the philosophy of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and neo-Kantianism of the Marburg school (Cohen, Cassirer, Natorp) is considered.

On epistemic dependence

Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Sat, 11/23/2024 - 18:38

The article considers the thesis of epistemic dependence, which problematizes the current ideas about the nature of knowledge, its historical and methodological premises. It shows both undesirable consequences of its uncritical acceptance (such as a possible gap between knowledge and understanding) and the possibility of its interpretation in a more general social context, as a conflict of epistemic interests. It also highlights the need to consider this phenomenon in the analysis of collective knowledge and collective rationality.

New objects of research in algorithmic aesthetics: dance performance and choreographic art practice

Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Sat, 11/23/2024 - 18:38

Открыть

The article explores the way in which new objects of study, such as dance performance and art–practice, emerge in algorithmic aesthetics. The advent of digital communicative practices shapes new means of formalization of dance performance scripts, which nowadays have various technological solutions, including algorithmic ones. Classical aesthetics is unable to describe the technological modernization of artistic expression. The author offers a general framework of algorithmic aesthetics to study of dance performance and art practice.

Objective probabilities and subjective risks

Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Sat, 11/23/2024 - 18:38

Открыть

The article shows, using elementary examples, that risk assessment depends both on the probability of future events and on their results. Various approaches to the integration of probabilities and numerical estimates of possible outcomes are shown and analyzed. The subjective nature of risk is substantiated. An interdisciplinary definition of risk is proposed, not associated with any science or group of sciences. The definition is based on the idea that risk is a consequence of decisions made by the subject, who evaluates their consequences.

Открыть

The article examines the philosophical foundations of posthuman communication studies – a new branch of the science of communications aimed at studying the nature and structure of technobiomaterial interactions, communications of material and digital actors, their characteristic mechanisms and trends of mutual influence of forces and processes (both human and non–human), leading to the exchange of actions, affects, emotions and meanings, circulation of energy forces and intensities, material formation and discursive diversity, and, thereby, to material changes – multiplication of the possib
