In this essay, I shall present key points from my dr.phil thesis (Higher Doctorate/Habilitation), Epistemological concerns – querying the learning field from a philosophical point of view (Dohn, 2017).1 The aim is to provide an overview of the thesis and to present its main argument for a form of applied philosophy where philosophy takes on the role of dialogue partner with a voice of its own. By way of illustration, I shall highlight some of the issues I have engaged with in this role as well as the answers which dialogue with other disciplines has led me to as regards these issues. First, I present the field, aim, and structure of the thesis. Second, I explicate what I mean by ‘philosophizing with’ and point out four different ways in which one can undertake this venture. Philosophy may dialogue with many disciplines in many areas; the ones I have engaged with fall within the learning field. To further the comprehensibility of my more specific concerns within this field, in the third section I articulate the philosophical outset from which I speak: With inspiration from Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Wittgenstein and Dreyfus, I hold a view of human existence as being-in-the-world and an approach to knowledge as fundamentally involving tacit aspects. This outset is developed throughout the thesis, in dialogue with other disciplines. In section four, I briefly present the resulting philosophical view of knowledge. In section five, I articulate more specifically a number of the issues within the learning field which have helped me develop this view. Section six conversely summarizes some key points which my philosophizing with on these issues have led me to contribute to the disciplines. I end with a few concluding remarks on concerns to engage with in continuation from the results of my thesis.

Models Of Democracy

This chapter offers a critique of the current state of play in the study of democracy. It aims to pinpoint both strengths and limitations of current theories and approaches. A broad range of approaches is covered: the discourse of ‘models of democracy’; the conception of ‘liberal democracy’ that prevails in the comparative study of democratic states and democratization; the deliberative model; normative political philosophy approaches; the world of ‘democratic innovations’, including direct and participative innovations; and recent ‘pragmatic’ and problem-driven approaches. The chapter identifies through these critiques a set of lessons to carry forward, including key points about embracing plurality and the role of experimentation in rethinking democracy.

Статья посвящается рассмотрению ключевой реалии къaлaтджын — резное деревянное кресло (старшего) — одного из предметов убранства традиционного осетинского жилища (хaдзар’а), имеющего социально-статусное значение. Къaлaтджын маркировал роль старшего по возрасту мужчины по отношению к остальным членам большой патриархальной семьи, состоявшей из нескольких поколений. Автором исследуются в этнолингвистическом аспекте и слово, и понятие с ним соотносимое. Практика показала, что такой метод дает возможность описать и проанализировать исследуемый материал более глубоко, выявить ключевые моменты семантики слова, функции и значения реалии в жизни осетин. Лексико-семантический анализ этнографизма, относящегося к домашнему убранству, позволит реконструировать традиционную картину мира, основные этнокультурные особенности материального мира осетин. Выбор и значимость для комплексного исследования этнографического объекта къaлaтджын обоснован фактом постепенного его исчезновения из жизни и словаря осетин в связи с неактуальностью самого предмета быта. В задачу входит также установление глубинной прасемантики реалии; мотивы сохранения самого слова, его значения и функций как в материальной, так и духовной жизни этноса. Слово къaлaтджын принадлежит к разряду этнографической лексики осетинского языка, поскольку называет понятие, которое является характерным именно для определенного народа, в данном случае для осетин. Этнографизмы относятся к наиболее древнему и устойчивому пласту словарного состава языка и играют значительную роль, входя в так называемый основной словарный фонд, несмотря на то, что некоторые лексемы со временем переходят в разряд устаревшей лексики и составляют группы архаизмов и историзмов современного языка. The article is devoted to the consideration of the term k’жlжtdzhyn, «the carved wooden chair (of the elder)», the key reality among the furniture objects in the traditional Ossetic dwelling (khжdzar) having special social and status significance. K’жlжtdzhyn emphasized marked role of the eldest  family male member in relation to the rest of several generations of the large patriarchal family. The author studies both the word and the correlated concept in the ethnolinguistic aspect. Practice has shown that this method makes it possible to describe and more deeply analyze the material under study, to identify the key points of the semantics of the word, functions and values of the realities of life of the Ossetians. Lexical and semantic analysis of ethnographism related to house furniture allows to reconstruct the traditional representation of the world, the main ethnic and cultural characteristics of the Ossetiс material world. The choice and significance for the complex study of the ethnographic object k’жlжtdzhyn is justified by the fact of its gradual disappearance from life and the Ossetian vocabulary in connection with the irrelevance of the very object for everyday life. The task also includes the establishment of deep prasemantic realities; motives for preserving the word itself, its meaning and functions both in the material and spiritual life of the ethnos. The word k’жlжtdzhyn belongs to the category of ethnographic vocabulary of the Ossetian language, since it names the concept, which is characteristic for the definite people, for the Ossetians in particular. Ethnographisms belong to the most ancient and stable layer of the vocabulary of the language and play significant role in the so-called basic vocabulary, despite the fact that some lexemes eventually become outdated and constitute groups of archaisms and historisms of the present-day language.

Role Of Religion

One of the most important reasons for such a clearly distressed state of society was the decline of religion as a social force, the external manifestation of which is the weakening of religious institutions. "Religion," Baha'u'llah writes, "is the greatest of all means of establishing order in the world to the universal satisfaction of those who live in it." The weakening of the foundations of religion strengthened the ranks of ignoramuses, gave them impudence and arrogance. "I truly say that everything that belittles the supreme role of religion opens way for the revelry of maliciousness, inevitably leading to anarchy. " In another Tablet, He says: "Religion is a radiant light and an impregnable fortress that ensures the safety and well-being of the peoples of the world, for God-fearing induces man to adhere to the good and to reject all evil." Blink the light of religion, and chaos and distemper will set in, the radiance of justice, justice, tranquility and peace. "

Role Of The Government

This paper analyzes the problem of technological backwardness of economy. In many mostly developing countries their economies use obsolete technologies. This can create the illusion that this or that business is prosperous. At the level of international competition, however, it is obvious that these types of firms do not have any chance for success. Retroeconomics as a theory of technological backwardness and its detrimental effect upon a country’s economy is considered in the paper. The role of the government is very important for overcoming the effects of retroeconomy. The phenomenon of retroeconomy is already quite deep-rooted throughout the world and it is essential to consolidate the attention of economists and politicians on this threat.

The article analyzes the dynamics of consumption of primary energy and production of electrical energy in the world for 1973-2012 and the volume of renewable energy. It is shown that in the crisis year of 20 0 9 there was a significant reduction in primary energy consumption and production of electrical energy. At the same time, renewable energy has developed rapidly, well above the rate of the world economy growth. The development of renewable energy is one of the most effective ways out of the crisis, taking into account its production regime, energy, environmental, social and economic efficiency. The forecast for the development of renewable energy for the period up to 2020, compiled by the IEA, is analyzed. It is shown that its assessment rates are conservative; the authors justify higher rates of development of renewable energy.
