Portfolio optimization in the case of an exponential utility function and in the presence of an illiquid asset
... is going to infinity. We show that the optimization problem with the exponential utility function is not connected to the optimization problem with the HARA utility by the limiting procedure and we obtain essentially different results. We provide the Lie group analysis of the corresponding HJB equation.
For the main three-dimensional PDE with the exponential utility function, we obtain the complete set of the nonequivalent Lie group invariant reductions to two-dimensional PDEs according to an optimal ...

Kant and Hegel, an alleged right and the ‘inverted world’
... the sensible world. A condition for cognising freedom is the categorical imperative. Apparently, applying the moral law formula may lead to contradictions. One of these contradictions is contained in the famous question regarding the alleged right to lie out of love of humanity. Kant's theory of impossibility of total delusion makes it possible, on the one hand, to prove that Kant is right to insist on inadmissibility of lying. On the other, in controversial situations, polemics focus on the necessity ...

Immanuel Kant in the Historical Philosophy of Gustav Shpet
This article assesses the role of Immanuel Kant’s ideas in the historical philosophy of Gustav Shpet (1879—1937).

Ingarden and others) and hermeneutics (F. Schleiermacher, W. Dilthey, H. Lipps, H.-G. Gadamer and others). Accordingly, the authors consistently reconstruct “the sphere of conversation” within...
