The Role of the Kantian “Power of Judgment” in the “Nonmodern” Study of Conscious Experience
One of the major problems in contemporary philosophy of mind is the dualism of first-person and third-person perspectives — the question of whether conscious experience is public and epistemically accessible or private and qualitative. Recognising the relevance of the arguments of both sides, naturalists and anti-naturalists, I attempt to resolve this dichotomy using Bruno Latour’s methodology on the theories of Immanuel Kant and Moritz Schlick. To do so, I propose not to reduce the theory of consciousness...

The later Frank took up the subject of Dostoyevsky’s worldview ...

In his metaphysics anthropology begins to play a system-forming and meaning-forming role,...

The semiotic perpetuum mobile in action: OMON, homonyms and antonyms

Each of the co-existing interpretations returns to itself, demonstrating — in a paradoxical and tautological way — Luhman’s concept of paradox and tautology as two only possible states of a self-describing system. The same process, but being considered from the starting point demonstrates the paradoxicality and tautology of the process of signification.
