Abstract:
The report proves the idea that Nietzsche’s conception appeared after Kierkegaard’s but not vice versa. In his article the author made an attempt to reconstruct Nietzsche’s anthropological conception. He noted that dramatic and overall criticism of the essentialists’ model of human eventually made Nietzsche to deconstruct the essentialistic subject created by Aristotle, Boetius and Descartes. Such a ‘death of the subject’ became the key topic of Nietzsche’s later works.

Abstract:
We live in the epoch of human engineering turning into an ‘engineering’ human. Undoubtedly, such Human has a certain future which may last for several centuries. ‘Traditional’ or ‘historical’ human has all his future in the past. He has only eternity. Conservative revolution under the banner of Archaeo Avantgarde is the main business of the day at the 21st century. All the rest is the ‘business of the night’. Thus shall we live further.

From ‘Apostle’ to ‘Archipelago’: Social and Cultural Transformations in Russia
// Philosophy and Culture.
2010. ¹ 1.
P. 37-51.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=57173
Abstract:
The article considers the three stages of social and cultural transformation of Russia: slow accumulation of cultural and educational potentials starting from book printing and lasting up to the beginning of the 20th century; Stalin’s ‘cultural revolution’ when the cultural space was reconstructed and became the field of agenda, indoctrination and Stalin’s ideology; and the hidden ‘Westernization’ when the elements of consumer society ripened during the so called ‘period of stagnation’. The end of the latter led the Russian society to the period of regeneration of social and cultural tissue which had been lost before (the so called ‘perestroika’) and to the Internet revolution at the beginning of the 21st century.

Morphology of Mysticism. Article 2
// Philosophy and Culture.
2010. ¹ 1.
P. 61-66.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=57175
Abstract:
The thesis of ‘uniform’ mysticism ignores the forms typical for paganism and developed religions. Even though mysticism still has the same nature and origin, it definitely varies greatly in forms and structures. The author defined the five ‘primary’ structures of mysticism (archetypes): unity with God, Godsend, transcendental and immanent mystical determinations and the bipolar immanent and transcendental mystical bond. According to the author, primary configurations of the mystical bond usually join in structural complexes.

// Philosophy and Culture.
2010. ¹ 1.
P. 67-71.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=57176
Abstract:
The author of the article studies the role of Fortune which influences our personal perception of the world and makes us strive for perfection. In an ontological aspect, it is one of the images of the antique idea of fate. In an anthropological aspect, it defines the role and the place of human in his society. In a gnoseological aspect, it stimulates our learning. In an ethical sphere it forms the great virtues of the mind. The image of Fortune is some kind of connection between the elements of Cosmos, from one hand, and a wise man’s behavior, from the other hand.

P. 78-88.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=57178
Abstract:
The author of the article evidently proved that will is a transcendental function between visible and invisible realities. According to the author, manifestation of ‘visible reality’ is kushism and ‘invisible’ reality displays itself in iranism. Kushism sumbolizes the principle of necessity or ‘necessity’ of birth and existence. On the contrary, iranism is a symbol of freedom and creation.
