... fellow human beings. In so doing, he continued a trend that had begun in the Enlightenment. In Universal Natural History and Theory of Heavens, Kant showed that the world can exist without God’s constant intervention. Human being must understand his position in the cosmos and his radical finitude. Closeness to God can only arise through the moral feeling and the infinitely distant work of God, heaven itself — a famous motif Kant adopted from Seneca.

The recipient, in the situation of perceiving a text co-written by a person and a neural network, is involved ...

The study aims to demonstrate, through a comparative analysis of Dostoevsky's and Marx's perspectives, that despite differences in their understanding of freedom and its attainment, their positions can be seen as complementary.

The focus of this exploration is the concept of poetic defamiliarization and its interaction with the political within Jacques Rancière's theoretical framework.

This disruptive quality of poetry contrasts ...
Language of digital poetry description: the semiotic and literary aspects
There is a dearth of empirical literary studies devoted to digital literature, primarily due to the poor development of a methodological framework for analysing digital texts and a lack of clarity as regards the text/meaning-generating capacity of the new communication channel, the language of digital texts' literary meta-description and the limits of freedom in interpreting such volatile texts. This article attempts to answer these and other questions, providing a semiotic understanding of communication...

The structure of this text synthesises the verbal, visual-graphic, acoustic (phonological symbols) and musical (notes) levels. The article also examines Chicherin's proven techniques: ...

The history of verse studies and formalism

The situation in which literature finds itself having to defend its autonomy from other sciences is reminiscent of the position once faced by sociology and linguistics, where Emile Durkheim and Ferdinand Saussure fought for their separation from psychology. In recent times, Franco Moretti has attempted to mimic the methodology of formalists, though he still advocates ...
Politeness in the communication between humans and artificial intelligence

Kant in Russian Police Law: Unknown Pages

The authors identify the basic ...
