Lyubov Axelrod on Kant: Reflections on Marxist Discussions of the 1920s and 1930s in the USSR
... Kant. Axelrod’s published works (from early articles and a dissertation on Tolstoy’s worldview, to her mature works on the history of materialism and philosophical-sociological texts on literary classics) and her epistolary legacy (most notably her correspondence with Plekhanov) show that, for her, rethinking the ideas of Kant was a reference point in the “critique of criticism” directed at the epistemological reasoning of Neo-Kantians, on the one hand, and at the Russian thinkers who had embraced ...
The Problem of the Unity of Experience from the Transcendental Perspective
... remaining within the framework of transcendental idealism. The purport of this investigation is to demonstrate how the problem of the unity of experience permeates the problem of the transcendental conditions of its possibility. Proceeding from Kant’s correspondence, the Critique of Pure Reason, Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics, and some modern conceptions of consciousness, I reconstruct the transcendental model of experience in terms of the conditions of its coherence. This model includes the ...
How translations are willed into existence
This paper will argue that translations are willed into existence in three conceivable ways: pull, push and shuffle. Pull is the most intuitive form. It corresponds, for example, to a publishing house that decides to translate a foreign novel. Here, the initiative to invest in a new translation project is almost entirely located on the target side. The push mode, in contrast, can be exemplified by a ...

Systematicity of the CPR and Kant’s system (III)
... divides concepts into phaenomena and noumena. The former are apprehended by the senses and the latter express the things-in-themselves. It is shown that, as concepts of things, noumena are divided into substan tial and empty ones. Substantial noumena correspond to transcendental objects as the material of possible experience, which has become or can become actual, on the one hand. On the other, they correspond to abstract idealisation relations – norms and values – that are immanent in the world ...

P. Bugrov. The influence of autobiographical elements is also noted: Chapurin’s irony toward the Old Believer clergy primarily reflects Melnikov’s own views. Additionally, the potential ...

The genre dominant of these letters is determined by the nature of the spiritual problems they address. As one of the principal forms of spiritual guidance offered by the elder to his followers, the letters reflect the ascetic ...

Functions of words-realities in S. Rushdie’s novel “midnight’s Children”

The language specificity of the novel is noted, which consists of intentionally incorporating exotic vocabulary into the text without corresponding authorial commentary, the meaning of which can be understood by a non-native reader only within a specific context. Lexico-semantic groups of realia words are highlighted, contributing to the creation of national-cultural color and referentially ...

Non-translation as palimpsest in hermetic poetry
... ‘gap’. Within the framework of this article, the author explores how hermetic poetry (language writing, metarealism and generation of the 21st century) uses non-translation and untranslatable to create/express political and ontological problems corresponding to this gap. So, in “Drafts” by Rachel Blau DuPlessis, palimpsest exposes the very deployment of language, writing, the ‘trace’ of other languages — all this develops together with the optics of studying writing and the loosening ...
