The Memphite Theology as a Source of Ancient Egyptian Theocosmogony

Zhdanov V.V.

Abstract

The article focuses on philosophical aspects of theocosmogony in the so called Memphite Theology (the Shabaka Stone), one of the most prominent ancient Egyptian religious texts. The concepts of theogenesis and cosmogenesis appear to be of considerable interest in terms of historico-philosophical reconstruction of the conceptual issues of the Memphite theocosmogony. The author offers historical and philosophical approach to analyzing the theme of creation in this notable source of ancient Egyptian pre-philosophical thought.

What Makes «Communication» Possible?

Pavlenko A.N.

Abstract

The article presents sufficient space for a thorough analysis of the conceptual issues of the Communicative Programme (the CP) developed by E. Husserl, L. Wittgenstein, K.-O. Apel, and J. Habermas who attached great importance to the fundamental role of communication in epistemological justification. The CP analysis carried out in the article is based on a number of models worked out to provide insight into the following two arguments of the CP proponents: 1) the CP statements are justified through their universal validity; 2) There is no pure individual in the communicative society (CS). It is demonstrated that the former argument leads to a vicious circle, while the latter one - heads to overt absurdity in terms of logic.

Emergence, Varieties of Explanation, and the Generality of Laws (Part II)

Schröder J.

Abstract

The principal aim of this paper is to show that a constraint that C.D. Broad imposed on the acceptability of deductions of macroproperties which would show them to be non-emergent, viz. that they use only general laws of nature, is too strong and should be replaced by the weaker condition that the deductions be non-trivial. First, the relevant notion of generality is made more precise. I propose that a law is general iff it is applicable to a diversity of phenomena relative to what I call domain constitutive properties. In order to substantiate the claim that Broad's constraint is too strong I analyse three examples of explanations of macroproperties from robotics and the life sciences. All of them are non-trivial explanations and should thereby render the explained properties non-emergent. Finally, I briefly indicate three ways in which an explanation may be non-trivial.

The Development of Network Society Theory

Trubitsyn O.K.

Abstract

The article offers a systematic analysis of the issues related to the network society as a subject matter of theoretical research. The organizational structures classification is provided primarily to expose the peculiar features of hierarchical and network structures. The origins and sources of network management philosophy are pointed out and the reasons for its growing popularity are examined. Further on the author focuses on the shaping of the network society concept per se offering insight into its three most popular modifications, i.e., the soft (moderate) modernist perspective, the soft postmodernist, and the hard (radical) postmodernist one. Finally, the key discussion points in the wake of network society development in the Russian conservative patriotic circles are outlined to demonstrate social significance of the topic involved.
