In many aspects of social life Japan shares with the whole world the consequences of the World War, particularly in the intricate connections between social unrest and spiritual agitation. Japan had passed through two wars in recent times; they aroused the nation to national self-consciousness, but they brought also many new problems. Yet those wars were fought far from Japan itself, and did not bring home the disasters and miseries of war. In the World War Japan took a part, but it remained for the people a matter of distant lands. Thus they were comparatively indifferent to the various issues raised by the war, such as the combat between militarism and democracy, the questions of international justice and the self-determination of nations, the problems of peace and social reconstruction. Moreover, their indignation against the aggressive Occident led the people to discredit the pleas of the allies against Germany, and often to incline to sympathize with the German claim of “a place in the sun.” These circumstances tended to keep the Japanese comparatively untouched by the problems created by the war. But the collapse of the great empires and the final outcome of the war could not fail to produce a profound impression among the Japanese. Although the people at large did not realize the whole situation, yet the gravity of the changes and problems was more or less fully grasped, and serious thought was stirred on social and religious questions.

his article provides a philosophical approach to the problem of induction for an Embedded in environment intelligent agent. The current hypothesis considers a model of artificial intelligent provided that the World-picture embedded in agent which is surrounded by natural environment. Also when the agent is out of data about its environment, it must achieve the self-capability to fill data about the World in the epistemology process. Otherwise, the agent must be able to close the gaps in its internal World. The agent, as it accumulates knowledge, must be aware of itself as a part of something greater, calculate the substance from which it was created, for this purpose an epistemological approach in learning is proposed. In conclusion, it is suggested that artificial intelligence is more likely to appear in an environment whеre it has undeniable advantages over natural intelligence, this space is virtual.

Resumen Se presenta, en primer lugar, la metafísica romántica como un intento de fusionar el idealismo fichteano con el realismo spinozista. Se muestran, en segundo lugar, las dificultades encontradas por este intento a la hora de reconciliar las principales afirmaciones de ambas concepciones filosóficas: la creencia de Fichte en la primacía del yo y la fe de Spinoza en la prioridad de la naturaleza.   Palabras clave: Romanticismo, Fichte, Spinoza, idealismo, realismo, naturalismo, auto-determinación   Abstract Romantic Metaphysics is presented as an attempt to fuse Fichtean idealism and Spinozist realism. It is argued that the problem with this attempt is that it not always achieved to reconciliate the main tenents of both idealism and realism: that for the first the self is everything and that for the second it is the world which is everything.   Keywords: Romanticism, Fichte, Spinoza, idealism, realism, naturalism, self-determination.

The article analyzes the work of Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi. According to the author, Kuindzhi’s paintings are not for the mind or distancing thinking, but for the soul. Kuindzhi's way of thinking is contemplation, not conceptualization. The article considers Kuindzhi's works through the prism of P. Florensky's metaphysics of light. According to Florensky, light is not just illumination or the inner principle of things, but the transcendent source of the world. So we have to understand what role the light plays in Kuindzhi's paintings. The author shows that Kuindzhi is not a pantheist who deifies nature and depicts the self-illumination of things, but the artist who sees the world as a symbolic reality. The author explores the work of Kuindzhi in the perspective of the philosophy of modern culture. We look at Kuindzhi today, in the 21st century. The 21st century differs from the 19th or the 20th century. Kuindzhi’s work means light, and the 21st century is the age of darkness. The author brings forth the problem of the collision of modern metaphysics of darkness in the Western tradition and the light-bearing Russian culture.

Central Claim

This paper investigates the high-earning children's series, A Series of Unfortunate Events, in relation to the skills young people require to survive and thrive in what Ulrich Beck calls risk society. Children's textual culture has been traditionally informed by assumptions about childhood happiness and the need to reassure young readers that the world is safe. The genre is consequently vexed by adult anxiety about children's exposure to certain kinds of knowledge. This paper discusses the implications of the representation of adversity in the Lemony Snicket series via its subversions of the conventions of children's fiction and metafictional strategies. Its central claim is that the self-consciousness or self-reflexivity of A Series of Unfortunate Events} models one of the forms of reflexivity children need to be resilient in the face of adversity and to empower them to undertake the biographical project risk society requires of them.
