... concerned, although his own version of practical rationalism differs considerably from Plato’s. This is also true of Kant’s conception of freedom and of human rights. The greatest impact on Kant’s moral philosophy is due to the doctrine of the two worlds, the mundus sensibilis and the mundus intelligibilis, which did not originate in Plato himself, but in the Jewish Platonist Philo of Alexandria. Kant reinterpreted this doctrine by taking the intelligible world as a moral world consisting of free ...

The image of the “Soviet Cosmos” in Pelevin’s novel combines at least two meanings — the near-Earth or near-lunar fragment of the universe and the Soviet world order — and also serves as a metaphor for the psychic ...
