This article aims to determine the meaning of metaphor for revealing the metaphysical foundations of aesthetics, as well as to analyze the methods reflected in the philosophy of Kant, Husserl, Heidegger, Derrida, and Mamardashvili. Their works clarify the structure of the metaphysical metaphor and its aesthetic matrix. Since old times, the aesthetic thought viewed the concept of the language of metaphor with its dual ambiguity, various metaphorical figures as the structures internally connected with the categorical reflection on the system of art; and the metaphor itself was considered as the form of semantic perception and creation of the artistic landscape. Revealing the place of aesthetics within the structure of metaphysics, the author views the aesthetic role of the metaphorical within metaphysics, complexity of interrelation between the concept of metaphor and fundamental metaphysical category of existence. The world scientific literature features numerous works that view metaphor as a rhetorical figure. However, the research of metaphysical metaphor is rare. This article is first within the Russian-language literature to outline the approaches towards the aesthetic comprehension of metaphysical metaphor, as they are reflected in the philosophy of Heidegger and Derrida. They reveal intuition of the metaphor as metaphysics, describe the representation of metaphysical metaphor of light, interpret the transcendental ego as metaphor, and elucidate the concept of the substance of metaphor. Special attention is given to the aesthetic-metaphysical interpretations of metaphor in the modern Russian philosophy.

The transformation of political science in recent decades opens the door for a new but so far poorly cultivated examination of the common good. Four significant “turns” characterize the modern study of politics and government. Each is rooted in the discipline’s increased emphasis on empirical rigor, with its attendant scientific theory-building, measurement, and hypothesis testing. Together, these new orientations allow political science to enrich our understanding of causality, our basic definitions of the common good, and our view of human nature and society. In particular, the chapter suggests that traditional descriptions of the common good in Catholic theology have been overly irenic and not sufficiently appreciative of the role of contention in daily life, on both a national and international scale.

This chapter analyses the role of think tanks in generating a distinctive mode of policy knowledge, pragmatically orientated to inform and shape issues of importance to civil society. Drawing on political science literature, we argue that think tanks exploit niche areas of expertise and influence to actively mobilize policy analyses and recommendations across diverse stakeholders. Through our exploratory mapping of think tanks, geographically concentrated within London, we characterize their influence as significantly boosting knowledge intensity across the regional ecosystem. In particular, we study the empirical case of one London-based think tank which powerfully mobilized policy knowledge through its formal and informal networks to build influential expert consensus amongst key stakeholders. We conclude that such organizations act as key knowledge producers and mobilizers, with significant potential to influence policy discourses and implementation.

Leviticus 25:39–46 describes a two-tier model of slavery that distinguishes Israelites from foreign slaves. It requires that Israelites be indentured only temporarily while foreigners can be enslaved as chattel (permanent property). This model resembles the distinction between White indentured slaves and Black chattel slaves in the American colonies. However, the biblical influence on these early modern practices has been obscured by the rarity of citations of Lev. 25:39–46 in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century sources about slavery. This article reviews the history of slavery from ancient Middle Eastern antiquity through the seventeenth century to show the unique degree to which early modern institutions resembled the biblical model. It then exposes widespread knowledge of Leviticus 25 in early modern political and economic debates. Demonstrating this awareness shows with high probability that colonial cultures presupposed the two-tier model of slavery in Leviticus 25:39–46 to naturalize and justify their different treatment of White indentured slaves and Black chattel slaves.
