... in Fichte’s philosophy. Stolzenberg shows the significance of Heidegger’s philosophical relations with Kant, Fichte, and the Neo-Kantians. He outlines the reasons which explain the different structures of the philosophical theories after Kant in comparison with the structure of Kant’s philosophy itself. Answering the question of Kant’s role in affirming the value of human dignity, he emphasises the non-empirical essence of this concept as it is presented in Kant’s ethics and as it should be defended against recent critics. According to Stolzenberg, the principle of modern subjectivity proves to be fruitful in understanding the development of the history of modern music, too....

... approach. The issue of film adaptation within the scope of linguistic analysis is regarded as not widely studied or understood, howev­er, it seems to be promising for the research that can be taken systematically. Film dialogue is seen as the key concept in this article. It is defined as a complete and organized formation in the structure of a film work that has clearly defined functions. Contrastive approach allows to consider the adapted film dialogue in comparison with its original literary dialogue and to identify a number of transformations that take place in the process of its adaptation for a film. Undertaken linguistic analysis can serve as the basis for further study of the actual language material ...

The article questions the need to introduce mediation as an alternative for criminal prosecution. The author of the article aims to prove the urgency of mediation for the criminal process, changing the concept of criminal prosecu­tion in relation to accused juveniles. Methodologically, the article relies on general scientific methods: logical and systemic ones, the method of analysis and comparison. The author argues that mediation is possible only in relation to minors aged 14 to 16 years. The mediation criteria system is analyzed and the obtained results are based both on the theoretical postulates of the criminal process and on an ...

... between morality and politics presents arguments in defence of unjust principles. Recognition of these principles is, according to Kant, an inadvisable concession to those who are inclined to abuse it. I interpret this judgement by making a detailed comparison of the texts of the two treatises. I demonstrate that Garve’s work is an eclectic attempt to combine in one concept the lessons of historical experience with the ideas drawn from British empiricism and German rationalism. These ideas were criticised by Kant in his “critical” period. There is a consensus among researchers that Garve condoned the expansionist ...
