The article examines the role of cross-border movements in the development of philosophical discourse. The life and work of the Hungarian philosopher Aurel Kolnai, who spent most of his life in emigration, is analyzed. It is noted that the position of "outsidedness", taken by the philosopher, contributed to the formation of original socio-political ideas.

The Given

Givenness is probably an odd term in methodology, but not in phenomenology. The long history of subjectivism in philosophy faces confrontations from Derrida's deconstruction. This history also results in a sort of mutual exclusion between philosophy and theology. The concept of the subject becomes a problem for both, but frequently it is safeguarded for the sake of a more universal 'objectivity'. The phenomenological tendency towards phenomenon, more than towards the experiencing subject and more than anything regarded as object, provokes some philosophical focus on the emancipation of the phenomena. Marion pushes phenomenology to its limits, to the extent that he is suspected of undermining the role of the subject in contemporary philosophical discourse. He reacts to Derrida's deconstruction, which was also criticised for not offering a way out of the labyrinth from the collapse of traditional thoughts. Marion is quite consistent with his phenomenology, namely in offering a way out for the subject to be a witness, and reminds that philosophy should be more appreciative of phenomena. The term saturated phenomenon represents his philosophical thinking that can be regarded as a methodological approach to respect, and not to dominate, reality. Being a witness is not the same as playing a critic on reality. This could be a useful stance for philosophers as well as theologians in the presence of the phenomena they cannot master, namely, the given phenomena.

Early Saturday morning on 16 May 1998, fifty people made their wayinto the conference room of Georgetown University’s SalaamIntercultural Center for the first annual conference of the Association ofContemporary Muslim Philosophers. Looking into their eyes, one couldsee a glimmer of hope and the fire of enthusiasm. Clearly, this was notgoing to be a run of the mill encounter of Muslim minds. Some of thegreatest intellects of the Muslim world were present, among themProfessor Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Dr. T a B JBbir a1 ‘AlwBni, and Dr. KamalHassan. Young students with fresh countenances and effervescent commentswaited to deliberate upon such issues as the difference betweenpublic and private philosophy, the role of postmodernism in the Muslimworld, and why and in what condition does the Muslim intellectual traditionfind itself.Ironically, this occurred in view of an immense Jesuit Crucifix heraldedby the Greek letters alpha and omega, which symbolize Christ.While for some this signified the contradiction and turmoil presentwithin current Muslim philosophical discourse, for others it embodieda promising message. For those who saw it as a positive symbol,including myself, the cross served to illustrate the universe, markingthe four cardinal directions of space, and the surrounding alpha andomega symbolized the all-encompassing nature of the Qur’an. On aterrestrial level, it verified the resilient nature of the Muslim intellectfor, quite obviously, we were a group of Mhims meeting in a Jesuitinstitution to talk about reviving Islamic philosophy. Nevertheless, theuniversal significance of that symbol was realized by the spirit of thegathering and in the profound discussions afforded by all those present.The conference started with a moment of reflection upon the versesof the Qur’an found in Siirat a1 ‘Alaq: ...

The article describes the phenomenon of silence in Dostoevskys later prose. Philosophical, plot-forming and psychological aspects of silence are looked at. A confessional type of monologue is defined as a discursive genre, with specific roles of the speaker and his silent listeners, whose predominance in Dostoevskys prose lets the author of the article adjust the notion of polyphony and dialogue within the context of Dostoevskys poetics. The conventionality of the other in the confessional type of monologue is proved by the absence of the completing functions in listeners. In most cases Dostoevskys later works retain some rudimental forms of frantic dialogue while the role of specific monologue discourse, caused and conditioned by silence, is increasing. By semantics and function types of silence in Dostoevsky fall into three groups: 1) the underground silence as expression of human disunity in the epoch of universal solitude; 2) role silence of listeners in the discursive genre of confessional monologue; 3) sacred silence of Christ indicating transition to a new higher level of communication

Milagros De Nuestra Senora

The present article analyses some of the features that characterise Mariology. First of all, it focuses on the history of this peculiar area of theology, as a literary and epistemological code. The text itself, designated to illustrate the formation of a new literary and philosophical discourse, is the well known compilation Miracles of Our Lady by Gonzalo de Berceo, with special regard to the allegoric Introduction to the same work. Allegory was the most widespread narrative figure of social cultural texture in the Middle Ages. The Marian cult was an extraordinary literary revelation in the Europe of the 11-13th centuries. The chain of metaphors defining the Introduction to the Miracles implies a universal theological allegory concerning the role of the Virgin in the salvation of humanity. The interpretation of some landscape elements means not only the polysemic allegory for the creation of a cultural home but also signifies the conception of a new symbolical rational order and the combination of cultural registers. What is meant is the embedding of Christian narrative and a serious attempt to create a specific national and culturalpattern.

S. Hodgson and G.F. Stout were remarkable, but insufficiently studied philosophers and presidents of the early Aristotelian society. The report is about their conceptions which despite almost unknown in the contemporary philosophy make us pay attention to them. For example S. Hodgson’s philosophy was the subject of discussion about its place in the phenomenological movement. G.F. Stout’s philosophy is interesting not only because he was the G.E. Moore’s and B. Russel’s lecturer. His philosophy was arguably ascribed to idealistic direction in British philosophy of XIX–XX century. There are few contemporary studies where the influence of G.F. Stout on the emergence of analytical philosophy is considered. The report will consider the metaphilosophical role of "common sense in G.F. Stout’s philosophy.

The Ideal

The heritage of transcendental philosophy, and more specifically its viability when it comes to the problematic of the philosophy of social sciences, has been a key point of dissensus between Jürgen Habermas and Karl-Otto Apel. Whereas Apel has explicitly aimed at a transcendental-pragmatic transformation of philosophy, Habermas has consequently insisted that his formal pragmatics, and the theory of communicative action which is erected upon it, radically de-transcendentalizes the subject. In a word, the disagreement concerns whether transcendental entities have any substantial role to play in philosophical discourse and social-scientific explanations. My aim is to reconstruct how Apel establishes a connection between transcendentals, qua the ideal communicative community and the possibility of non-objectifying self-reflection. As I shall demonstrate, the principles that transcendental pragmatics sees as underlying social actions are not to be understood in a strictly judicial way, as “supernorms.” Rather, they should be conceptualized and used as a means for action regulation and mutual action coordination. Against this backdrop, I show that the concept of the ideal community provides the necessary underpinnings for Habermas’ schema of validity claims and the project of reconstructive sciences.

Исследуется роль современного чеченского писателя Мусы Ахмадова в становлении чеченской литературы в новейший период ее развития, формирование в его творчестве уникальной жанровой системы, включающей в себя все виды жанровых форм. Отмечается, что наиболее часто используемым жанром в творчестве писателя является философский рассказ, в котором автору удается высказать свои самые сокровенные мысли, касающиеся духовного становления современного чеченского общества, о роли творческого человека в формировании культуры народа, его будущего. По внутреннему содержанию прозу Мусы Ахмадова можно разделить на два крупных цикла: социально - психологический и нравственно - философский. Писателя можно смело назвать автором, преумножившим возможности рассказа, расширившим его традицию в современной чеченской литературе. The paper explores the role of the modern Chechen writer Musa Akhmadov in the formation of Chechen literature in the latest period of its development, the formation of a unique genre system in his work, which includes all types of genre forms. The most frequently used genre in the writer's work is a philosophical story, in which the author manages to express his innermost thoughts regarding the spiritual formation of modern Chechen society, about the role of a creative person in shaping the culture of the people, their future. In terms of its inner content, Musa Akhmadov's prose can be divided into two major cycles: social - psychological and moral - philosophical. The writer can be safely called an author who multiplied the possibilities of the story, expanded its tradition in modern Chechen literature.
