On the Comparative Analysis of the Eurasian Region Cultures

An early article is devoted to the study of the concept of Eurasianism in the context of comparative art history. The presented article emphasizes that modern art history requires methodological innovations that will reveal the features not only of the national specifics of music, but also the parameters of its dialogue with other cultures. The article discusses the concept of musical genocide as an analogue of an innate program that determines the vectors of the artistic culture evolution. As a result, it is possible to determine both universal ethnocultural and the specificity of regional conditioned properties of culture. The purpose of the research is to determine the comparative parameters of the Eurasian culture. The research methodology lies in the method of historicism. Of fundamental importance, he can reveal the logic of historical thinking. The prospect of using the method of historicism lies in the possibility of approaching the complex whole of Eurasian culture in its historical movement, in the unity and development of its constituent parts. Behind the variety of manifestations, the main, common lines of the historical development of Eurasia are being built. The scientific novelty of the research undertaken in this article is to form a number of provisions of the comparative analysis. For example, the concept of a gene formula, a typological series. Conclusions. The category of the gene formula formulated in the article is a historically conditioned sign function of culture. The gene formula is generated by the collective experience of the ethnos and has semantic meaning. At the same time, the gene formula defines a specific type of pitch that ensures the vitality of the music and realizes the identity of the culture.

Wir sind noch nie richtig Tier gewesen

Mary Midgley belongs to a small group of most inspiring women philosophers of the 20th and early 21st century. Her impressive oeuvre, characterised by an exceptionally clear and witty style, combines contributions to such different fields of philosophical inquiry as moral philosophy, philosophical anthropology, philosophy of science in general and of biology in particular, as well as philosophy of religion. With her early article “The Concept of Beastliness”, we have something like a germ cell of her philosophy, introducing a range of concerns that will remain central to her work. The commentary focuses on five of them, traces how they show up in later works of Midgley’s, and suggests how they could inform philosophizing about humans and (other) animals today. These are, first, Midgley’s adherence to the concept of ‘human nature’. Second, her insistence that a comparative, ethologically informed perspective on humans and (other) animals helps to refute myths about both the (generically understood) animal and the human animal. Third, her alerting us to the fact that concepts of ‘human nature’ always influence our moral self-understanding. Fourth, her focus on the positive, open instincts in humans like caring, friendship, loyalty, or sociality that exist not only alongside but in a complex interplay with negative, open instincts such as aggression, and the idea that both classes of instincts can be shaped to some extent. And, finally, her focus on the conditions of social life that are important for people to be able to structure their lives in meaningful ways.

Kleines Lautgesetz, große Wirkung

Zusammenfassung The unexpected i instead of expected *e in the first syllable of Latin wordforms such as nisi, nimis, nihil, mihi, tibi and sibi has until now been explained in various ways either from vowel assimilation of original *e to the i of the second syllable or from clitic weakening of the words. This article aims at giving a common mechanical explanation for all of these words by posing a new sound law according to which original *e in Latin becomes i in initial open syllables followed by a syllable which originally contained the vowel ẹ̄ as the result from monophthongisation of the diphthongs *ei̯, *oi̯or *ai̯(< *h₂ei̯) in second syllable position. For this purpose, the article reconstructs the history of the abovementioned explanations - especially the vowel assimilation theory which goes back to an early article by Sommer -, tries to falsify them by critically examining the evidence adduced for proving them, and eventually derives the new sound law from parts of the original evidence of the falsified explanations, and by making use of additional evidence.

Editorial introduction to ‘Collectivist planning’ by Michael Polanyi (1940)

After an esteemed academic career as a chemist, Michael Polanyi switched to the social sciences and made significant contributions to our understanding of the nature and role of knowledge in society. Polanyi's argument concerning knowledge led him to emphasise the vital importance of decentralised mechanisms of adjustment and coordination, including markets. His article ‘Collectivist Planning’ (1940) enters into debates about the possibility (or otherwise) of centrally planning scientific and economic activity. This early article also foreshadows post-war debates within the Mont Pèlerin Socierty (formed in 1947) concerning the economic role of the state and the future of liberalism.

HICKS’S THEORY OF THE SHORT-TERM RATE OF INTEREST AND THORNTON’S AND HAWTREY’S INFLUENCES

John Richard Hicks proposed an endogenous theory of money from the 1960s until his final book, A Market Theory of Money (1989). He developed a theory of credit and a theory of short-term rates of interest that had been neglected in his earlier writings such as “Mr. Keynes and the ‘Classics’” (1937). In that early article, Hicks concentrated on the market for cash balances and the motives for the demand for money, while leaving aside the money market and the clearing function of banks. In the 1960s, Hicks was largely inspired by Henry Thornton (1802) and Ralph George Hawtrey (1913, 1919). The originality of this paper is to interpret the short-term rates as the price of liquidity and to examine Hicks’s fight against restrictive monetary policies in the 1960s to the 1970s in Britain.

“Philosophy Has Become Worldly”: Marx on Ruthless Critique

Marx's early article “for a ruthless critique of everything existing” was written as a letter to arnold ruge, a young hegelian, in September 1843 and then printed in the Deutsch-Französischen Jahrbücher in 1844. It is one of several letters that Marx wrote to Ruge during that period on the need to upend philosophical authority. Translated into English, the essay is often taken to be an exuberant and ironic prefiguration of the writings that came to be known as the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844. The essay's title is taken from Marx's letter, in which he remarks that we must undertake “die rücksichtlose Kritik alles Bestehenden”—the ruthless critique not of “everything existing,” exactly, but of everything established, even institutionalized as the establishment over time.

The concept of social domination in axel Honneth’s critical theory

This paper attempts to reconstruct the concept of social domination articulated in the early works of Axel Honneth, a key figure of the ?third generation? of critical theory. The author argues that one of the key ambitions of the early Honneth, expressed through his critique of Jurgen Habermas, was to theorize the process of societal reproduction in contemporary capitalism in ?action-theoretic? terms, i.e. as determined by the inter-group dynamics of social conflict and domination, as opposed to Habermas? systems-theoretic approach. The author analyzes Honneth?s criticism of Habermas developed in ?The Critique of Power?, and focuses more narrowly on Honneth?s conceptualization of social domination outlined in the early article ?Moral Conscioussness and Class Domination?. The analysis grounds the author?s subsequent reconstruction of the early Honneth?s conception of social domination as a two-dimensional phenomenon that encompasses an ?intentional? and a ?structural? dimension. Turning towards Honneth?s mature perspective, the author argues that a critique of social domination no longer occupies a central place in Honneth?s influential theory of recognition. Finally, the author considers Honneth?s only recent attempt at theorizing domination presented in the article ?Recognition as Ideology?, and argues that Honneth has so far missed the opportunity to integrate the early social-theoretical perspective on domination into his mature theoretical system.

Blocking the Future: New Solutions for Old Problems in Historical Social Science

The only true voyage would be not to travel through a hundred different lands with the same pair of eyes, but to see the same land with a hundred different pairs of eyes.Marcel ProustAlthough it may turn out to be otherwise, this is an early article in what is hoped to be a larger series of studies in the application of network methods to historical problems. This article explores some new solutions to old problems in historical social science and history more generally and provides some templates for thinking about an old problem in a new light. The old problem is the problem that arises when one considers how we know what historical events mean and how we can have confidence in our interpretations. For many social science historians, the problem of meaning is secondary to the problem of making causal arguments. And often the practical reality of much historical work is that more mundane problems of data and evidence often consume an unusual amount of time and energy, drawing attention away from the luxurious concerns discussed in this article — concerns with what things actually mean. Despite the recognition that the problem of meaning may not lurk around every corner for all social science historians, the goal of this article is to propose some new strategies for determining what things mean in historical context.

Introduction to Georg Simmel's `On the Sociology of the Family'

The Introduction to Simmel's early article on the family locates it in the context of his sociological concerns in the 1890s. The article is also placed in the context of his probable anthropological sources. Brief mention is made of some of his other contributions to the study of love and eroticism.
