Peripetien der Erfahrung. Kants „Erfahrungserkenntnis“ und Hegels „Erscheinungen“
It was not until German Idealism that philosophy briefly regained the importance it had in antiquity. This is indicated precisely by the “peripeteia” in the concept of experience. When Kant and Hegel write about experience, they mean quite different things on the other. Kant’s concept of experience is law-like, invariant and rigid. Only for this reason can it form the basis for a critical reflection on the validity of knowledge. However, Hegel’s analysis of object experience ...
The Question of Normativity in Emil Lask’s Philosophy of Right
.... Instead of choosing between absolutisation of extra-historical legal norm and absolutisation of historical factuality the critical philosophy of law works with the real world as a “semi-finished product” (Halbfabrikat) which corresponds to the meanings of culture. In the “semi-finished product” the realm of right is partly “scientific” and partly “pre-scientific”, which makes the question of transition from the “pre-legal” to “legal” reality particularly important. The transition ...

... or prepared for publication. One such notebook was the “1913 Diary”, which contains hurried jottings belonging to the period when Shpet was in direct communication with Edmund Husserl, Lev Shestov, Natalia Guchkova and others.

Self-Ownership and the Categorical Imperative
... anti-paternalism and, consequently, the permissibility of self-destructive behaviour. The paper then reconstructs and analyses two Kantian arguments for self-ownership. According to the first, persons have intrinsic value and should therefore never be used as mere means for someone else’s ends, which forbids ownership of other people. According to the second, persons must own their own bodies and persons in order to realise the personal and moral autonomy needed to uphold the moral law. Next, the article describes ...
Hieroglyphic sign weakening mechanisms
... has revealed the basic mechanisms of weakening. The general scientific methods are as follows: grapheme analysis to study the structural components of the hieroglyphic sign, semantic and etymological analysis to trace the evolution of the form and meaning of a character. The research has revealed the following weakening mechanisms: simplification, complication, preservation. These changes in form trigger semantic variations based on metaphoric and metonymic shifts. To study the mechanisms ...

Ideology in the mailman's bags: towards the pragmatics of the postage stamp
The article explores the semiotic potential of a postage stamp as a social communication tool. Despite the fact that a postage stamp is initially a utilitarian means of payment, it is capable of implementing many functions, and its pragmatics are directly related to the representation and transmission of cultural and ideological meanings, which makes the stamp an important means of forming cultural identity....

At the same time, the author reveals that the usual means of understanding and comprehending the city and oneself in the city are not enough. New metaphors and tools are needed to help us understand the city. Among them are porosity, rhythm, and imprints. The article introduces the basic metaphor ...

The study centres on ...
What tour guides are (not) silent about: on the social regulation of tour narratives (the case of the Kaliningrad region)

The study demonstrates that the guide is a bearer of symbolic power, manifested in the ability to ascribe meaning to objects and events, and, thereby, shape public opinion. In this sense, the guide moves beyond the role of a mere narrator, assuming the function of a creator of meanings. Guided tours perform an important social function, fostering a positive ...
Olfactory opposition of “one’s own — another’s” in the context of the war
... "one's own" and "someone else's" is formed under the influence of extralinguistic factors; the smell acts as an instrument of differentiation, less often as an instrument of unification and is endowed with additional cognitive-semiotic meanings. Three olfactory models are identified and analyzed: “one’s own smells — others’ smells,” “smells of foreign land,” and “smell as stigma.” It is concluded that in wartime conditions, the olfactory images of “one’s own” ...

The article also analyzes the theme of existential crisis, reflected in the landowner Popielski’s search for the meaning of existence. The game he plays, Ignis Fatuus, metaphorically illustrates what Gilles Deleuze refers to as the rhizome. A general conclusion is drawn about the constructive role of the rhizome as a means of realizing Olga Tokarczuk’s artistic ...

The idiolect, idiostyle of a literary work, and the subjective aspect of a speech activity product are considered as objects of translation into a foreign language.

The Buddhist concept of “Consciousness-Only” in Victor Pelevin’s novel “Omon Ra”
... draws upon the Buddhist philosophical concept of “consciousness-only,” which posits that only consciousness truly exists, while the external world is ultimately unreal. The image of the “Soviet Cosmos” in Pelevin’s novel combines at least two meanings — the near-Earth or near-lunar fragment of the universe and the Soviet world order — and also serves as a metaphor for the psychic world within which every person exists and which each individual generates. The protagonist of Omon Ra is portrayed ...

Grammatical features of the explication of the causation in different linguocultures

In the Kabardian linguoculture, unlike in Russian and English, permissive or imperative meanings of causation are determined by context. For native speakers of Russian and Kabardian, a direct imperative is not perceived as less polite compared to permissive causative constructions, as is often the case in English-speaking cultures. In ...

The novelty of the research lies in the lack of studies conducting a comparative analysis of diagnostic tools aimed...
