Потаённые страницы истории западной философии

As an object of criticism for his dissertation, G. Hegel chose I. Newton’s treatise «Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy». From Hegel’s point of view, I. Newton does not think physically; he is completely absorbed in calculations in physics. The absence of «physical thinking» in physics and its replacement with mathematical thinking (using the example of I. Newton) became the subject of G. Hegel’s dissertation «On the Orbits of the Planets». The message of Hegel’s reasoning boils down to the fact that during the transition from physics on Earth to physics on a cosmic scale, the phenomenology of physical phenomena will be different. In particular, the orbits of planets may have a completely different phenomenology than it appears to astronomers based on «star maps».

Language and problems of speculativeness in Hegel’s philosophy

In the article, «speculativeness» is considered as the main characteristic of Hegel’s philosophy, its subject and method, and the interpretation of «speculativeness» is carried out from the position of «good taste», and not from the position, for example, of «dialectics». With «good taste», history tends toward poetry; formal logic-in-words is contrasted with logic-in-music, logicin-dance, logic-in-love, with the result that the logic of aesthetic phenomenology leads to «dialectics» in the Hegelian categorical calculus. The treatise «Science of Logic» should be perceived as a logical testing of reality from the standpoint of «good taste».

Anti-linguistics of M. Heidegger: the path of Aristotle

The article is based on the well-known thesis that language cannot be understood from language. However, the measures taken to understand language through semiotics and social relations must be considered completely insufficient. As a starting point for the philosophy of language to go beyond the boundaries of language, one should accept the fact of the excessive complexity of language for the purposes of interhuman communication, especially in comparison with the fact of excessive human sexuality. Heidegger’s calls to understand language through poetry, and to see the intentionality of gods in poetry, should be developed into an ontology of gods, in relation to which the ontology of language will be secondary. Ethnographic materials on the trance rituals of primitive culture and modern studies of «altered states of consciousness» clearly contribute to the latest research on the «path to language».

«Time and Being» by M. Heidegger: read with Socrates

The essay refutes M. Heidegger’s idea that he will be understood in two hundred years. Heidegger’s texts are quite monotonous in style; at the same time, they are distinguished by their deep rootedness in the little-known subtleties of Aristotelian thought, on the one hand, and concern for the state of modern science, on the other hand. Heidegger deliberately combines the culture of ancient philosophical thinking with the erudition of philological and physical and mathematical sciences, which sometimes requires a dose of irony from the reader, given his own competencies. The article clarifies the idea that Heidegger holds in secrecy: language, time and the subject coincide in their ontology.

M. Heidegger on time and language: reflexes of the picture of the world

The article focuses on the philosophical analysis of the concept of «time». Thanks to M. Heidegger, time is interpreted outside of relation to movement and three forms of time (present, past, future). The author’s position boils down to the fact that time scales existence, thereby presenting different pictures of the world and different ontologies. According to their ontological status, the concepts of time and knowledge intersect. As for the traditional relationships between time and movement, this relationship is of a particular nature, significant in everyday scaling of time.
