Problem of Objectivization in Nikolay Berdyaev’s Philosophy
// Philosophy and Culture.
2012. ¹ 4.
P. 6-13.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=59385
Abstract:
The article is devoted to Nikolay Berdyaev’s philosophy of spirit developed as part of his existential
metaphysics evolving around the relationship between existence of spirit and world existence, between
the numismatic and phenomenal. Based on Berdyaev, this is the objective function of human consciousness
which makes the form of such a relationship. The objective function of human consciousness hypostatizes the
mind constructs (universals and substances) and then socializes them, after which they gain a universally
binding meaning and their own existence. Berdyaev saw the struggle against the power of spirit objectivization
as a transcendent coming out of the borders of the phenomenal cause-and-effect world into the reality
of the pre-existence freedom — existential.

Jurgen Habermas’ Theory of Deliberate Democracy
// Philosophy and Culture.
2012. ¹ 4.
P. 40-49.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=59379
Abstract:
The author of the article describes the details of prerequisites of Jurgen Habermas’ theory of society
and his concept of deliberate democracy that is based on discursive agreement of all members of the
society concerning essential social issues. With regard to the classical interpretation of democracy Haberman’s
principle of consensus is expressed in the idea that legal norms are legitimate not because they are
mandatory for all individuals but because these norms are willfully accepted by all members of the society.
The research showed that according to the classical theory of democracy, legal norms were to be willfully
accepted by individuals because the norms were just and fair. But Habermas’ principle of justice is based
on the democracy principle of acceptance of these norms by all individuals these norms relate to. Therefore,
justification of legal norms is performed not by the means of practical reason and theory but only trough
open discussion of all members of the society.

philosophy, democracy, liberalism, law, consensus, discourse, communication, society, individual, rationalism.
