Vyacheslav Stepin and His Theory of Culture. Part 1
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 4.
P. 8-23.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58245
Abstract:
The article analyzes V. S. Stepin’s views on culture. It is shown that his views altogether form a fundamental theory
which actually makes a great contribution to cultural studies. Stepin’s researches build a multi-dimension overall ‘picture of the
world’. Culture is viewed as a system of trans-biological programs of activity, a specific form of coding of social information, a
system of social and spiritual programs. Stepin has also described so-called cultural universals which are the basic elements of
the system of culture, in this regard the author of the article underlines the organic interconnection between certain categories
in philosophy and cultural studies. It is shown that V. S. Stepin’s theory of culture plays a great role for theory and practice.
Keywords:

Symbolism of Faith from the Point of View of Ontological Approach
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 4.
P. 24-35.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58246
Abstract:
The author of the article studies the problem of faith and views it not as a religious or a gnoseological phenomenon
but as an everyday life value. The author describes the mechanism of faith as an ontological phenomenon and its functions.
It is proved that faith is not only a revelation of personality and its genuineness. According to the author, an efficient instrument
to solve the problem of human existence would be to develop the ontological approach to faith which would combine
precious ideas of both Martin Heidegger’s fundamental ontology and P. A. Florensky’s Russian religious philosophy. The
article will be of interest not only to philosophers, but also to everyone interested in the challenges of human.
Keywords:
philosophy, faith, ontology, phenomenology, symbol, symbolism, adherence to pluralism, repetition, relationship, unity.

Religion and Modern Biological Picture of the World
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 4.
P. 36-45.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58247
Abstract:
The article discusses the ‘hot spots’ of interaction between modern biology and Christian doctrine – the model of
evolution, genetic code and a natural scientific ground for morals. The hypothesis of evolution solves the problem of the
mechanism of creation while Christianity solves the problem of its purpose. The fact that genetic code is unique proves
that the creation is unique, too. Evolution of morals from natural mechanisms to a free choice of human does not abolish
individual exertions of a person when transferring into the spiritual sphere.
Keywords:

Finiteness of Human Existence as a Problem in Emmanuel Levinas’ and Jacques Derrida’s Philosophy
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 4.
P. 154-161.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58257
Abstract:
The problem of finiteness of human existence was deeply considered by Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida
who became interested in this sphere during the last period of development of his philosophy. Levinas assumed that in the
face of Infinity human can actually go beyond the course of history due to his inner feeling of time and parental qualities.
Derrida was greatly influenced by Levinas’ ideas but at the same time he interpreted the problem of finality of human from
the point of view of his grammatology. He spoke that human was constantly striving for survival which expressed itself at
an existential level, in leaving traces and a constant dialogue with a cultural tradition.
Keywords:
philosophy, Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, existence, being, finite, infinite, human, culture, religion.
