Discussions about the role of hermeneutics in contemporary science represent a highly contested domain of philosophical reflection – particularly when it comes to the natural sciences.

Sense as a cultural-historical phenomenon in the domestic tradition of “positive” philosophy
In contemporary foreign and some domestic historical and philosophical studies, the distinctiveness of Russian philosophy is often associated primarily with its religious character. Within this “encapsulating” context, scholars attempt to argue that the concept of “meaning” does not present a real problem for domestic thinkers. However, Russian philosophy is a coherent cultural tradition characterized by a particular attitude toward the idea of…
Human-Sizedness in Contemporary Science
The ideas of well-known domestic philosophers of science from the second half of the 20th century find effective methodological application in the sphere of contemporary epistemological issues. Their philosophical-methodological developments, in one way or another connected with the ideas of the human-sizedness of scientific cognition, of the “whole cognizing human,” of “social relays,” and of cultural-historical and systemic analyses of scienc…

T…

Cultural Meanings of Education and the Media World
Современные образовательные практики уже не могут обойтись без технических возможностей «медиа». Это очевидно. Однако необходимо иметь в виду, что «медиа» – не только технический посредник в обучении, «медиа» создает особую реальность, образовательные возможности которой мы сегодня еще только пытаемся различить и критически оценить. Между тем технический потенциал современных «медиа» настолько велик и разнообразен, что в центре исследовательского…
Philosophical Congress as a Type of Informal Communication, or On the Problem of Reproducibility of Knowledge
The author defends the thesis that the essential aspect of communication within the philosophical community (whether global or local) is the opportunity to discuss with colleagues incompletely meaningful and, accordingly, insufficiently clearly formulated ideas. Moreover, the discussion of ideas that cannot yet claim the status of philosophical knowledge, but nevertheless express the vector of intellectual searches, is most effectively carried …
The Phenomenon of Collective Memory at The Intersection of Philosophical And Methodological Attitudes
В статье обосновывается тезис о том, что сложившиеся на сегодня методологические подходы к исследованию коллективной памяти открывают две перспективы ее философского осмысления. Авторы подчеркивают принципиальную нередуцируемость этих перспектив. Коллективную память можно рассматривать как феномен, в конечном счете, сводимый к способности отдельного человека сохранять информацию о прошлом и осознавать, опираясь на нее, свое индивидуальное Я. …
“Back to Aristotle”
Характеризуя интеллектуальную значимость трудов Христиана Вольфа, Г.В.Ф. Гегель заметил: «Вольф дефинировал мир сознания, как это можно сказать также и об Аристотеле» [Гегель 1994, 418]. Но Гегель уточняет приэтом: Вольфа отличает то, что он «мыслил только рассудочно, между тем как Аристотель мыслил предмет спекулятивно» [Там же]. Для авторов дан-ной статьи это уточнение принципиально важно: Аристотель сумел дефинировать сознание, которое было по…

One of the most advanced areas of modern science is polydisciplinary research, which is based on experimental practices with special technical parameters.

Moreover, the details and accuracy of the actual…

Anthropological Crisis as a Theme of Philosophy
Modern civilized society is in a state that could quite accurately be designated by the term “crisis” (in both its semantic shades – catastrophic and dynamic-transitional). The scientific literature describes in detail the reasons that involve modern civilization in this state: the increasing use of the environment due to technological progress and, as a result, its perilous change. And accordingly, by pointing to this kind of reasons, a circl…

Expertise as a form of development of science

The authors believe that due to expert assessments, the target settings that are present in specific scientific research programs are expli…
