Schelling’s System of Transcendental Idealism: Kantian Transcendental Ideal from the Historical Perspective of the “Odyssey of the Spirit”
... meanings of the term “history” in The System, I concentrate on the broadest of these meanings which describes the system as a whole and is expressed by the topos “odyssey of the spirit”. Based on Petr Rezvykh’s hypothesis on the formative significance of this teaching for the early period of Schelling’s work I interpret Schelling’s dialectics of the ideal and the real, the subjective and objective in self-consciousness as a reworking of Kant’s antithesis of the transcendental assertion ...
The Question of Normativity in Emil Lask’s Philosophy of Right
... creation of legal concepts, in which their pre-scientific formation (vorwissenschaftliche Begriffsbildungen) and the teleological principle, which is responsible for the selection of the pre-legal empirical substrate of right that can become legal, play a significant role. The Philosophy of Right and The Logic of Philosophy are seen as keys to understanding each other. Therefore the “two-storied building” metaphor used in The Logic of Philosophy to explain the two levels of cognition can be applied to the concept of right. I arrive at the conclusion that the philosophical-legal practice of norm formation, according to Lask, involves “two necessities”: the necessity of recognising the pre-scientific element in right and the necessity ...
Kant’s Philosophy of Chemistry and Nietzsche’s Cosmology: On the Material Hermeneutics of Alchemy and Cinnabar. Part I
... only for developing an understanding of Kant’s conception of chemistry as a science, but also of his invocation of Stahl’s spagyric ‘art’, and his example of the mutable properties of a specific ore of mercury, Zinnober or cinnabar (HgS). A significant property of cinnabar (HgS) in this regard is that it changes colour, turning from red to black, depending on exposure to light. This can be interpreted as a metaphor illustrating problems of metamorphosis, and calling into question the widespread application of chemical principles. Together with his criticism of chemistry, Kant’s philosophical reflections open up possibilities for further ...
Reception Heiner Müller’s drama “Cement” in Russia at the turn of the XX and XXI centuries
The literary fate of the German dramatist Heiner Müller is paradoxical. Despite his plays being part of the main repertoire in many of the world’s leading theaters, he faced prolonged censorship both in his homeland, the German Democratic Republic, and in Russia. However, interest in his works has grown significantly in recent years. Müller's major works have been translated into Russian, and his plays are increasingly staged in domestic theatres. Alongside these theatrical productions, Russian researchers are actively engaging with Müller’s legacy,...

It is shown that the general principle of using the word ‘rhetorical’ in discourse in relation to a question is that this question is ‘not genuine’ in some way, i. e. it is a question that is not being asked in order to get the answer. To characterize a question as rhetorical, two parameters are significant: “Why does this question not require an answer?” and “For what purpose is this statement being made, if not to get an answer?” By calling (his own or someone else's) question ‘rhetorical’, the speaker indicates the implementation ...
Semiotics of ‘the new Soviet man’ concept in the works of the Strugatsky brothers: from the “Noon Universe” to the “Doomed City”
... early works, Arkady and Boris Strugatsky formulated the principal characteristics of the concept of the ‘Soviet man’ as a person of labour (action), a person of duty (sacrifice), and a person of science (enlightenment). This concept undergoes a significant transformation over the course of their literary work. The analysis of the semiosphere of the novel ”The Doomed City” (“Grad obrechennyi”, 1975) demonstrates that the Strugatskys succeeded in tracing the genesis of the ‘Soviet man’ ...

A sign is viewed as a quasi-mind, and semiotic processes are carried out by these signs, specifically through the quasi-minds that are embedded within them: a quasi-utterer and a quasi-interpreter. Semiosis can thus be viewed as an ongoing, personalized interaction of structural semiotic entities (quasi-minds). The latest findings in molecular genetics and their implications in biosemiotics shed light on a unique aspect of interpretation: it can occur without an ...
Quantitative corpus analysis of implicit evaluativeness: the case of ‘sovershit’sya’ and ‘svershit’sya’ in Russian internet discourse

However, statistically significant correlations between the gesture types and the (sub)types of intersubjectivity were found only for pointing gestures for agreement vs. disagreement, and for binary mirror gestures for merging viewpoints vs. opposing viewpoints. Namely, pointing ...

Nevertheless, a significant proportion of collective farmers abandoned their PHFs, driven in part by the perceived possibility of a renewed repressive policy.

City as an explicant of the key concepts in Dostoevsky’s “The Adolescent
The perception of Fyodor Dostoevsky as a literary painter of St. Petersburg has become an axiom in literary criticism. However, modern researchers pay attention to the significance of other cities for the writer, which are inextricably linked both with his biography and his work. Fyodor Dostoevsky not only instantly noticed visual metaphors and historical and cultural narratives of the places where he was destined to be, but he also included presciently read city texts in his literary works. This article is aimed to identify those ‘local texts’ of the urban space in the novel “The Adolescent”, which contribute to the reconstruction and representation of its ...
