Enigmas of consciousness and their Kantian solutions
The line of investigation of consciousness through consciousness itself in European philosophy is represented by the doctrines elaborated as an answer to the question: “What in my consciousness is determined by consciousness itself, and not by the world?” The names of Descartes, Kant, and Husserl mark the most significant moments in the development of this line. This line is opposed to the tabula rasa line represented today by many strands of a…
Reason, Language, and Culture
In his four-volume Critique of Arab Reason the late Moroccan philosopher Muḥammad ‘Ābid al-Jābirī (1935–2010) argues that human history witnessed “Greco-European” and “Arab” variants of reason, and not the single one. He challenges the confidence of philosophers in the universality of reason which disclosed itself in the course of European history. Reading al-Jābirī’s theory in Kantian optics will prove fruitful in view of significant number of o…
Russian Sociology in the Context of Society Digitalization
Using the analysis of a corpus of texts from eight leading Russian sociological journals, the article examines the impact of the digitalization of society on sociology in 2000-2021. Frequency analysis of 13.8 thousand scientific texts tracked the introduction of concepts related to digitalization into scientific circulation. The article reveals the differences between the journals, due to their editorial policy in the selection of articles. Throu…
Action and Substance. Hammam, Wine and Palms in Classical Arabic Texts
The world around us is a collection of things in constant motion and influencing one another. In other words, the world changes every instant. Each moment it differs from itself a moment ago, never staying the same. The difficulty discovered by the Greeks is that what is constantly changing cannot be cognized for if the world is always in motion, always new, knowledge becomes obsolete and useless the very instant after we acquired it, as the worl…
Philosophy of sense
Healing the inner rupture of Russian culture caused by the reforms of Peter the Great is an urgent need which is still on agenda. This task can be accomplished by relying upon the logic of sobornost’ and vsesubyectnost’ that manifested itself as the basic value in the course of millennium of Russian history. Implanting the European section into the overall layout of the vsechelovecheskoye design of Russian culture will help bridge the gap between…
Sense positing and plurality of reason
The article addresses the following question: what is sense (smysl) as such, not to be confused with the sense of something. The sense as such sets the absolute limit for human consciousness, since we can be conscious only of that which makes sense, and, vice versa, what makes sense is part of our consciousness. Sense is devoid of semiotic nature, for sense as such cannot be conceptualized as something opposed to meaning or related otherwise to …
The Scope of Philosophy
The key feature of human consciousness is our ability to access and practice svyaznost’ (coherence, connectivity) grounded in tselostnost’ (wholeness). This ability is common to humans and animals in one of its aspects (comprehending the world as an order of things), though animals do not share its other core manifestations (coherent speech and thought as a practice of svyaznost’). The commonplace understanding of language as a sign system fall…
A priori in Language and Linguistics
Language displays, first and foremost, the core ability of human consciousness to develop svyaznost’ (coherence and linkage). To approach language as a sign system means to concentrate on its insignificant and third-rate characteristics that are not essential for it (like featherlessness for humans). Using language we can develop svyaznost’ at the levels of text, phrase, word, and a unit less than a word. This article discusses the last level, si…
Is a Process-Based Logic Possible
Mind is a Capacity to Develop an Epistemic Chain
Qiyās as a formal proof
2 unconscious (CCU). Further on, two variations of the CCU are examined, that is, the CCU as the intuition of spatial juxtaposiotioning, and the CCU as the intuition of flux, laying foundation, respectively, for the substance-based and the process-based logic. Alternative formalizations of the Islamic qiyas-comeasuring in the perspective of either substance-based or process-based logic are then exposed. The author argues that any attempt at forma…

Nicholas of Cusa and Ibn 'Arabi
The common basis underlying a philosophical exploration of Nicholas of Cusa and Ibn 'ArabT could perhaps be presented in the form of two closely linked assertions: first, the thesis that God is indefinable, and, second, a formula which states that the world is not God but is not anything other than God. These assertions were certainly not unknown to medieval thinkers, but it was the mystical tradition (European as well as Islamic) that gave them …
