Explanation as meta-justification.
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Tue, 09/09/2025 - 23:08The paper aims to show that some elements of J. Woodward’s manipulative concept of causality are capable of playing the role of «salient characteristics of an explanation» that can be associated with the key characteristics of meta-justification that «a system of empirical beliefs that is justified according to accepted standards is thus likely to correspond to reality» in a situation where an appeal to more traditional concepts of explanation – unificationist (P. Kitcher) or causal (W. Salmon) – is not accepted due to the «paradigm conflict» dividing the given scientific community.
Wave and Stone. About the Relationship between Akim Volynsky and Dmitry Merezhkovsky.
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Tue, 09/09/2025 - 23:08The article treats the history of mutual influence and complex personal relationships between the literary critic A. L. Volynsky and the writer D. S. Merezhkovsky. Having known each other while studying at St. Petersburg University, they collaborated for ten years in the journal “Severny Vestnik,” which became an outpost of the struggle against ‘sociologism’ and positivism in the system of artistic thought. Both of them became forerunners of the Russian religious and philosophical renaissance of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Knowledge society: project, forecast and reality.
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Tue, 09/09/2025 - 23:08The forthcoming formation of the knowledge society in the near future was confidently predicted in the middle of the twentieth century. Many social researchers, and after them the general public, accept the accomplished realization of this forecast as an obvious reality. There are some reasons for this. This mode was really meant to be implemented to overcome the problem of the limits of industrial growth. But in practice, the results have not been so impressive so far. And today, even the most developed countries do not look like the embodiment of the model of the knowledge society.
The holistic potential of narrative identity theory.
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Tue, 09/09/2025 - 23:08The paper analyzes the typology of personal identity theories. It identifies the criteria that form the basis for conceptualizing identity theories: psychological, biological, substantial and narrative. The main arguments in favor of using each criterion are presented and the directions of modern criticism of these theories are outlined. The holistic potential of the theory of narrative identity is studied in the context of the joint application of the psychological, biological and narrative criteria used to solve the problem of personal identity.
A Surprising Analogy between Self-Contradiction in Algebra of Formal Logic and Self-Termination in Algebra of Formal Axiology (Explicating Definitions of Basic Notions of Algebraic System of Metaphysics as Formal Axiology).
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Tue, 09/09/2025 - 23:08The paper aims to reveal an analogy between the algebraic system of formal logic and the algebraic system of formal axiology. Our aim is to correct some previously published formulations of the mentioned system and clarify interconnections between similar but different notions of “formal-logical-contradiction” and “formal-axiological-contradiction”. Corrected definitions of several basic notions are given; a fundamental analogy is established between the algebraic system of formal logic and the algebraic system of metaphysics as formal axiology.
