Kant’s Asynchronicity Concerning Newtonian Space and Gravity in his Pre-Critical Writings
... more adequate view on Kant’s natural philosophy and in particular his relation towards Newton. But the discussion that evolved did not point to the asynchronicity that takes place in Kant’s struggle with the central Newtonian concepts. Newtonian space and gravity, in revised form, are of central concern to Kant’s critical philosophy. But Kant adapted and re-evaluated these two concepts in an asynchronous way. While Kant tries to integrate a notion of gravity into his theory of matter in his ...

Between Kant and Trendelenburg: On the Genealogy of Kudryavtsev-Platonov’s Theory of Cognition
... nineteenth century whose theory of cognition bears an imprint of the Kantian theoretical philosophy. Kudryavtsev was not only thoroughly familiar with the Königsberg thinker’s work, but offered a critically reinterpreted version of Kant’s teaching on space, time and categories of understanding. But was the Russian philosopher original in his reading and critique of Kant? In his later works Kudryavtsev often cites the works of Friedrich Adolf Trendelenburg whose works turn out to be very close to the ...
Estonian ‘Balticness’ as a social construct: meanings and contextual specifics
... counterpoising material factors with non-material ones but rather through amalgamating them as operational components of the notion. Peter Katzenstein formulates this as follows:
They [regions] are more than the flow of goods and people across physical space that we can assume to be represented directly and accurately by cartographic depictions. Regions are also social and cognitive constructs that are rooted in daily practice [19, р. 129].
A more tangible nature of material facts and the ensuing simplicity ...
Trägheit und Raum: Kant und Euler
... influenced by Newton’s Principia. However, a closer look makes it clear that Kant’s project has also been influenced by other thinkers. One of these thinkers is Leonard Euler. His work was of great influence for Kant, not only with regards to his view on space and inertia but on the relation between metaphysics and natural science in general. Even though Euler’s Physics built on Newton’s work, he differs from him in fundamental regards, leading to crucial developments inside classical mechanics. Here ...

2D modeling of ion shadow behind a charged satellite by the method of molecular dynamics
It was considered a two-dimensional model of the interaction of a charged micro satellite and thermal plasma. The method of molecular dynamics used as a modeling method. Ion concentration distributions near SC were calculated for 10 and 102 protons in cm2 and the two values of relative satellite velocity and plasma were considered — 8 and 20 km s-1, respectively. It is shown that an increase in velocity and concentration of particles of ion shadow behind the satellite becomes more expressed.

Why is the space around us three dimensional
We note that it is no accident that modern science cannot answer to the question why our space we exist in and which we see is three-dimensional. Therefore, it is believed that attempts to find an answer to this question, by remaining only within the mathematics, are bound to fail. On the contrary, it is in the present math study that it ...
