scholarly journals CULTURAL LOGICS OF CONTEMPORANEITY: ETHICAL DOMINANT

Author(s):  
G.A. Brandt

The article examines changing optics of philosophical consideration of the ethical field. The process of moving the traditional ethical discourse from the supracultural metaphysical dimension to the intracultural one is traced. The cognitive strategy of postmodernism is analysed. Ethics is deprived of its metaphysical nature and becomes a cultural phenomenon subject to its logics. The focus is on a new, still emerging, cultural paradigm designated as “meta-modernism”, the adherents of which distinguish three “cultural logics of modernity” — modernity, postmodernity and metamodernism. The article reveals the ethical dominant of each of these logics.

статья посвящена социально-философскому рассмотрению такого историко-культурного явления как псевдоморфоза. Под данным термином понимается господство развитого в культурном плане общества над более молодым соседом, находящимся на более низкой ступени общественного развития. Опираясь на исследования немецкого философа О. Шпенглера и многочисленные исторические примеры, автор выделяет такие агенты эффективного создания псевдоморфозы как государственный язык, импортная модель образования и социальная сегрегация. the work is devoted to the socio-philosophical consideration of such a historical and cultural phenomenon as pseudomorphosis. This term refers to the dominance of a culturally developed society over a younger and more primitive neighbor. Based on the research of the German philosopher O. Spengler and numerous historical examples, the author identifies such agents for the effective creation of pseudomorphs as the state language, the import model of education and social segregation.

Hip Hop is a cultural phenomenon that is constantly evolving and has made a worldwide impact in a short time. While it continues to change Hip Hop at its core remains the same. Victor Quijada artistic director of the Rubberband Dance company posed the question of “What more could Hip Hop be”. With those words in mind the focus of my research is to examine the movement and concepts/ideologies of the breakdancing subculture of Hip Hop; to create a fusion with contemporary dance. As such a brand-new system of movement with its own concepts and life could be created. The dance world is continuously shifting, and different skill sets, as well as ideologies, have been valued at different times and places. This exploration will challenge the mainstream ideals of what is currently considered “technique” and “foundation”

Philosophy is a search for a general understanding of values and reality by chiefly speculative rather than observational means. It signifies a natural and necessary urge in human beings to know themselves and the world in which they live and move and have their being. Hindu philosophy is intensely spiritual and has always emphasized the need for practical realization of Truth. Philosophy is a comprehensive system of ideas about human nature and the nature of the reality we live in. It is a guide for living, because the issues it addresses are basic and pervasive, determining the course we take in life and how we treat other people. Hence we can say that all the aspects of human life are influenced and governed by the philosophical consideration. As a field of study philosophy is one of the oldest disciplines. It is considered as a mother of all the sciences. In fact it is at the root of all knowledge. Education has also drawn its material from different philosophical bases. Education, like philosophy is also closely related to human life. Therefore, being an important life activity education is also greatly influenced by philosophy. Various fields of philosophy like the political philosophy, social philosophy and economic philosophy have great influence on the various aspects of education like educational procedures, processes, policies, planning and its implementation, from both the theoretical and practical aspects. In order to understand the concept of Philosophy of education it is necessary to first understand the meaning of the two terms; Philosophy and Education.

Although the reception of the Eastern father Gregory of Nyssa has varied over the centuries, the past few decades have witnessed a profound awakening of interest in his thought, particularly in relation to the contentious issues of gender, sex, and sexuality. The Body and Desire sets out to retrieve the full range of Gregory’s thinking on the challenges of the ascetic life through a diachronic analysis of his oeuvre. Exploring his understanding of the importance of bodily and spiritual maturation in the practices of contemplation and virtue, Raphael Cadenhead recovers the vital relevance of this vision of transformation for contemporary ethical discourse.
