SUMMARIES
of some PHILOSOPHICAL ARTICLES after SEMIRA (Shchepanovskaya
Elena)
The Cosmic Perspective of Mankind after K.E. Tsiolkovsky
The article covers scientific and philosophical ideas
of the inventor of rocket engine K.E. Tsiolkovsky, which created the
perspective of cosmic exploration. In spite of radical and materialistic
features of his theory, it is close to spiritual evolutonary ideas of
P.Teilhard de Chardin, the follower of V.I.Vernadsky, and it remains actual as
practical prospect of cosmism. The image of "radiant humanity", and a
man as explorer going to meet transformation, can be considered as modern
ideal, still attractive.
Modern Hindu Schools as a Display of Actual Spiritual
Wants
Having a rich heritage of ancient
spiritual theories and constantly creating new schools, the culture of India
translates them all over the world. In different new Hindu spiritual schools we
can find out common features, typical for classic teachings. Their distinction
reflects spectrum of actual spiritual needs. The article maintains comparative
analysis of the most popular 6 modern Hindu schools ("Society of Krishna
Consciousness", Sai-Baba, Integral Yoga of Shri Aurobindo, Dynamic
Meditation after Osho Radzhnish, University of Raja-Yoga
"Brahmakumaris" and the way of social service of "Ananda
Marga"), revealing their pecularities and tendencies of developing.
Revealing of the
Genesis of Universal Archetypes for studying the Structure of Unconsciousness
For true
philosophical and cultorological analysis, disclosure of the universal
historical roots of origination of notions seems to be more productive.
Exploration of archetypical ideas of the most ancient mythology, as well as
revealing deep etymological kinship of senses, became the base of such
approach.
Investigating the
archetypes origine, we had correlated mythological archetypes with the stages
of the evolution of mankind, having spread the notion of the archetype not only
to cultural and psychological areas but to social, economical and biological
history. Analysis of mythological heritage from evolutionary point of view proves the existence of common
development patterns of mundane mythology. Common logic of thought and
succession of forming of the basic human conceptions is manifested.
Archetypical approach can help to
solve methodological problem of exactness in humanitarian knowledge. The roots
of the philosophical notions manifest universal way of human spiritual
development and give the criteria of value of the representations of modern
thought.
Mythological Archetypes as the Core
of National (Ethnic) Mentality
The article represents a new approach to describe
pecularity of national mentality. The most universal archetypes of the world
mythology, common for all civilisations (12 basic mythologemes are suggested),
can be recognized as semantic core of cultures (local civilizations). Such
concept of archetype (based on the ideas of symbolic nature of culture and
important role of myth in it after E. Kassirer and K. G. Jung) seems to be
productive for intercultural understanding and for representation of
multiperspectivity of world development and different part of every nation in
it.
The approach is displayed by the
example of national mentality of Russia, India and China.
Eastern Features of Russian
Philosophy:
Personality as Manifestation of
Cosmic Spirituality
The
article displays dominant features of national mentality through analysis of
typical ideas and approaches of Russian philosophers. One of such archetypical
notions is an appelation to personality, not as to individual (and
biological), but as spiritual unit, spreading out of its individual limits to
collective and universal. It is motivated not by striving for power, but by
aspiring for infinity. The national idea should аccordingly include such motivation.
Sоcial Interaction: the Role of
Biological Conceptions -
Cultural Myth of Struggle for
Existence and Simbiosis as the Main Evolutonary Factor
The article suggests to use the
scientific base of biological concept of simbiosis as the main factor of
evolution, in order to return to the classical theories of culture — as well as
Darvin theory of struggle for surviving was used to refuse of them, showing
insufficiency of humanistic values, which yielded to pressure of Nietzschean
"will for power" (according Haidegger). Scientific concept of
simbiosis, as the base of manifold of life on the Earth and forming of human
culture, manifests the onthological status of interpersonal and
intercultural communication. It contributes the assertion of notions of
cooperation and mutual aid not only as the idealistic values of "due"
but materialistic jist of existence, dealing with ideas of altruism and
humanism as the guiding line of mankind evolution.
"Medical Discourse of Power and
Psychophilosofical Challenges of Oncology" // an article for the conference "Human existence
in the space between health and iIlness as philosophical, ethic and culture
problem " at State Saint-Peterburg Unversity in 2017
The article deals with challenge of
cancer, when the treatment itself destroying organism plunges a person into
diseases. These are the problems of isolation associated with the taboo of
death, closure and guilt, psychological assistance and rehabilitation during
the treatment and attention to the individuality of a patient.
The discourse of power in medicine (M. Foucault) and bureaucracy of the
pipeline of health care aggravates the problems, produces disease as a product
of it (A. Sekatskii), being focused mainly on the financial system (that leads
to a shortage of doctors and queues, detrimental to the health). Human
benchmark, as a possible way to exit from this critical situation, is the
cooperation of the doctor and the patient (consulting physician to the sick).
