Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that sufficiently general concept of information encompassing multi-disciplinary scientific conceptualizations of this term can be useful for a discussion of the long standing philosophical problems. Design/methodology/approach – The author is using his concepts of information and its integration along with their mathematical formalization introduced in earlier publications to describe what constitutes an object, its identity and state. The concept of information used here is defined in terms of the categorical opposition of the one-and-many which plays a central role in philosophical tradition. Its formalization is closely related to formalisms of many theories involved in scientific disciplines. These features produce a common stage for philosophical discourse and scientific analysis. Findings – The formalism based on author's concept of information opens philosophical concepts such as object, identity and state to analysis consistent with scientific methodology. The analysis, consistent with modern physical theories, such as quantum mechanics, permits resolution paradoxal aspects of object's identity for long time puzzling philosophers. Originality/value – The approach to information applied here was introduced in earlier publications, but the analysis of the problems of identity in this context is novel and unprecedented. The author hopes, that even those who prefer different conceptualizations of information can benefit from the present exposition of author's analysis by considering it an example of bridging philosophical and scientific discourse.

Full textAbstract:
The title of this paper proclaims its central interest—the relationship which holds between the concept of integrity and the concept of the identity of the self, or, for short, self-identity. Unreflective speech often suggests a close relationship between the two, but in the latter half of this century, notwithstanding one or two notable exceptions, they have been discussed with minimum cross-reference as if they belonged to two rather different philosophical menus which tended not to be available at the same restaurant on the same night. My intention is to argue that our account of the one carried implications for the other and that this relationship is reflexive. My argument will proceed by stating and criticizing a common account of the relationship between each of these concepts which tends to offer mutual support for the implied account of each. Thereafter an alternative account will be outlined.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of personal identity is now the focus of a wide variety of studies. In modern philosophy, the analysis of personal identity is addressed in connection with the consideration of problems in philosophy of consciousness, as well as ontological, epistemological, aesthetic, ethical, etc. problems. When applied to ethics, the concept of personal identity is usually explored in connection with the analysis of moral responsibility, as well as bioethical problems. Contemporary approaches to the concept of identity in the field of morality differ in that they are limited to transferring concepts of identity developed within the framework of various “metaphysical” approaches to the notions of morality (intuitive and non-conceptualized). The difficulties of this approach, which some authors recognize as failures, are due to the lack of ethical contextualization of the concept of personal identity. In order to understand how a personal identity is related to certain moral concerns and problems, it is necessary to fit the Self (like all these concerns and problems) into the concept of morality and discuss rather the very concept of moral identity as a concept set by ethics, than the various concepts of personal identity developed in an nonethical context, in their relation to ethics. Analysis of ethical and philosophical approaches to understanding the issues relevant to the concept of moral identity in moral philosophy showed that this problem should be considered on the basis of moral philosophy, in the language of moral philosophy and taking into account the real diverse moral experience.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the concept of “identity”. Within the framework of the history of the development of the concept, periodization is given in the form of two large stages, which include a set of different theories. A semantic explication and characterization of the main theories of identity is made. The semantic transformation of the concept of “identity” is traced in different philosophical directions and schools, as well as by different authors. A causal relationship is established between the understanding of identity and a specific historical socio-cultural situation. Within the framework of the article, identity is conceptualized not as a static entity, but as a dynamic mobile structure with the potential for recombination and reconfiguration. A correlation is made between identity as a topic of philosophical reflection and epistemological procedures of identity and distinction. The main problem is the problem of identity in modern Kazakhstani society, which, according to the author, lies in the divergence of objective socio-cultural circumstances (the reality of globalization) and internal factors that have a strong influence on self-determination (history, traditions, mentality). The fact is emphasized that the history of the Western world in its character, consistency, dynamics and partly purposefulness is not identical to the history of Kazakhstan. Therefore, linear modernization (building one's culture according to European patterns) is hindered by many endemic reasons that cannot simply be discarded as something outdated. In many ways, these endemic factors make up the originality of the national and cultural identity of the Kazakh society.

Full textAbstract:
The theme of identity is of central importance for the work of sociologists, cultural anthropologists, historians of religion, political scientists, biologists, geneticists, phylologists, logicians, legal scholars, linguists and semiologists. Their research contributions are without doubt productive. However, my approach differs completely. My aim is to investigate the term identity by using philosophical categories, on the one hand, and ethics of communication on the other. I first attempt at clarifying certain problems that characterize the concept of identity. I focus in particular on the relationship between the concepts of "identity" and "alterity". I then analyze these problems in relation to the specific praxis of communication. Within the framework of this investigation I formulate an idea of communication that differs from the currently mos widespread ones and I point out its unique ethical value.

Full textAbstract:
Diversity matters – theoretically and practically, within philosophy and beyond. It is less clear, however, how we are to conceive of diversity. In current debates it is quite common to discuss diversity as a diversity of social identities. In this paper, I will raise five major concerns with regard to this approach from a philosophical perspective. All of them cast doubt on the flexibility and openness to ambiguity of identity-based concepts of diversity. Contrary to an identity-based concept of diversity, I will propose a perspective that stresses ambiguity and fluidity. In pursuing my argument, I will, after an introduction in §1, outline in §2 how the term ‘diversity’ is commonly used and how social identities come into the picture. In §3, I describe the dangers of an identity-based diversity concept. In my critique I will build on Adorno's thoughts on the formation of concepts and on Appiah's reflections on identity. I will illustrate my critique with examples from a growing field of Applied Ethics, data ethics. In §4, I will sketch an alternative understanding of human diversity, taking up considerations by Thomas Bauer on ambiguity and ambiguity tolerance.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a synoptic overview of two key philosophical concepts – self and identity - in Indian tradition. Drawing on both Indian and Western studies on the concept of self-hood and its implications for conceptualising identity, the paper reviews the contemporary scholarship on self-hood and outlines its relation to identity needs to be rethought if ethical possibilities of self-hood are to be given due consideration. This paper asks and addresses the nature and experience of the self in the Indian intellectual tradition, how representative Indian thinkers conceptualised the self, how such a conception of self-hood engages with the overall conception of Western history of self-hood and so on. The paper offers a comparative study of self-hood that not only underscores the significant points of convergence and divergence as theorised in Indian and Western philosophical traditions but also highlights how certain conceptions of self-hood and identity enable the project of the self’s ethical transformation.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to describe how organization’s identity changes in the course of time. Focus is on project-based companies. Design/methodology/approach – The paper first highlights the concept of process thinking. Then follow descriptions of notions of identity and identity change as change processes. After that, three different identity change processes – negotiation of meaning, lauguaging and interaction – are illustrated. And after that follows the main content of the paper, namely, descriptions of identity changes in organizations. These descriptions focus on two approaches: “Unintentional identity change” and “Intentional identity change”. Findings – Identity provides organizations with powerful understanding of theories of who they are. These understandings guide subsequent resource allocation decisions. Identity change in an organization can be categorized into unintentional and intentional identity changes. Unintentional identity changes takes place through the previously mentioned three processes. Instead, intentional identity change takes place through strategy planning. Practical implications – Finding a viable view through which organizations can understand how their identities chance in the course of time is a very important issue. Therefore, in this paper, the authors have sought to offer a brief illustration of this area. Originality/value – In the literature, rather, a lot of attention has been focused on how identities are constructed, and what is their role, for example, in the companies’ strategic management and marketing. However, less attention has been paid to how identities are involved in organizations’ change processes. That is why the goal of this paper is to address that lack by studying identity change in organizations.

Full textAbstract:
Relevance: The article is devoted to the socio-philosophical comprehension of the personal identity problem in the Internet. The situation of our time, characterized by “fluidity,” the variability of self-images, “masks”, has a resemblance to virtual space, which allows the individual to “try on” various social roles. The problem of personal identity requires a socio-philosophical understanding in the modern world. Purpose: to reflect the modern vision of sociologists and philosophers of the concept of personal identity, to identify the main characteristics of personal identity on the Internet. Methods of research: The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is the structural and constructivist approach. This approach is based on the conception that identities are the construct of the personality itself, they can be transformed depending on the individual’s choice, while the structure of society is determined by the identities system. The main results: A modern individual can be described as an individual of mass information consumption. The study of modern socio-philosophical works of the concept of personal identity allows us to determine the following characteristics: variability associated with social context; procedural nature; structure planning; reflexivity; categorization; selection. Scientific novelty of the study lies in the author’s position, according to which the key characteristics of personal identity include: variability related to the social context; procedural nature; construction; categorization; choice. Directions for future research: in further research, the problem of personal identity in the conditions of Internet communication will be considered by us in the context of the dichotomies “private-public”, “I-Other”, which will make it possible to understand how personal identity is formed and transformed in the modern Internet.

Full textAbstract:
The paper focuses on regional security, which has become a significant issue in situations where there has been a growth in the level of regional identity and the desire for relative autonomy in the general pro- cess of security system development. The approaches to security in the history of philosophy are analyzed in order to highlight the evolution of the concept of “regional security”. Comparative, systematic and her- meneutic methods are employed to reveal the aspects of regional security in terms of the problems of state, national and public security. The novelty of the research is associated with the development of the evolu- tion of ideas concerning regional security from abstract representations to the various aspects of regional practice. The conclusion is that modern regional security concepts are based on the synthesis of the meth- odology of systemic and constructivist approaches. This methodology is used to substantiate the claim that any state has to deal with the security problems of its regions and pay attention to any threats and regional interests, which may be constructible in nature, and pose a real danger associated with challenges from political, economic, military, environmental, and social spheres.

Full textAbstract:
The article outlines meaningful priorities that reveal the essence of identity, in particular, individual and social constants of identity are highlighted by means of philosophical and legal modeling of their interaction. It has been proven that the concept of identity has the potential of one of the most powerful concepts in today's globalized society. The phenomenon of identity is a unique prism through which the main spheres of human existence are understood, analyzed and interpreted. The actualization of identity as a social problem can be traced at all levels: household, state, political, religious, gender, etc. The author found out that the concept of identity is neither an obvious nor a homogeneous construct, which has an undeniable meaning and value in various socio-cultural contexts. The constant and multifaceted interest in the phenomenon of identity gives reason to assert the incompleteness and openness of the discourse on identity as a category of philosophical and legal science. Therefore, today there is an urgent need to determine the prospects of further research in this direction, primarily through the study of two aspects: first, the methods of defining and evaluating the phenomenon of identity in small and large social groups in the conditions of a growing level of legal and social polarization and mistrust of various social institutions (state, legal, social) and the implementation of socially important decisions, that is, the transfer of rhetoric about identity from the individual-psychological level to the social-cultural and national level; secondly, the development of approaches to distinguishing "real" identity, its authentic dimension from "situational" identities in the conditions of opportunism of atomized societies, an example of which is currently Ukraine.

Identity is one of the eternal issues for every conscious human beings. Thus it is possible that every scholar and discipline from its specific perspective explore this subject. Here we will examine Avicenna's conception of human identity on the basis of substance as a universal category that is not devoid of particular dimension. But for this connection a heuristic concept named paiwand (in philosophical meaning) is needed and in other words has to mediate.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of the project of the national idea, formulated by the representative of Russian religious and philosophical thought K.N. Leontiev. The purpose of the study is to consider the philosophical concept of "vizantizm" by K.N. Leontiev as a theoretical project of the Russian national idea. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the philosophical views of K.N. Leontiev on the problems of the nation, national identity and nationalism, historical parallels are drawn with the peculiarities of the formation of national identity in the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th century, which made it possible to interpret his concept of the "national ideal" as a project of the Russian national idea. The originality of the philosopher's national concept lies in the fact that it is not just an abstract theoretical abstraction, but was based on an analysis of real Russian reality and aimed at resolving the crisis of imperial identity.

This study aims to find the human concept according to Driyarkara's metaphysical anthropological thinking, and to find its relationship with the development of Indonesian human identity. This research was a literature study in the field of philosophy which puts Driyakara’s works in the field of human philosophy as a material object and human philosophical works from other philosophers as a formal object. The research object used philosophical hermeneutic by implementing method steps, such as: analysis, verstehen, interpretation, description, heuristic, holistic. The results show: first, Driyarkara rests on the dynamics of human existential experience in its depth by using the phenomeno-logical method from loop to funcamental as the idea of man, namely the Pancasila man. Second, humans as an open-dynamic person develop life together by cooperating as a form of familial democracy to enhance each other's fellow human beings, because that's why humans are “becoming” not “being”. Third, Driyarakara’s human concepth an existential situation in a harmonious unity (harmony unity). Fourth, criticism of Driyarkara's fundamental human concept, and produce the identities of the human persona subject in the network of human existence. Fifth, Driyarkara's human concept remains actual and has theoretical and practical relevance for the development of Indonesian human identity. The Driyarkara’s human concept is worthy of being introduced in culture through education directed at the humanitarian process by developing cognitive, religious,and aesthetic talents so that humans are more autonomous and dignified, to be actual in real life practice.

This article is devoted to the presentation of the views of foreign philosophers on the problem of spiritual identity and national identity of Russia. The factors that influenced the formation of the worldview of thinkers, historical conditions, as well as identified theoretical, conceptual sources of authors, representatives of foreign philosophy are characterized. The concepts of spiritual identity and national identity of Russia in the works of foreign philosophers are analyzed.The works of the most famous contemporary foreign authors, who primarily develop socio-philosophical and philosophical-political aspects of the Russian national identity, are examined: Z. Brzezinski, R. Pipes, J. P. Scanlan, A. Toynbee, F. Fukuyama, S. Huntington.An analysis of the concepts of Western philosophical Russian studies shows that the key tendency of modern foreign doctrines about Russia is a fundamental refusal to reveal the moment of universality of the idea of Russia. The very need for philosophy, i.e. in the logic and dialectics of the history of Russia is considered not from the standpoint of the reasonable necessity of the concept, but from the point of view of the abstract rational randomness of the empirical phenomena of the historical existence of Russian society and state. The author comes to the conclusion that all the special concepts of the idea of Russia contain a dialectical contradiction and can remove it only in its own logical selfdenial. The latter should become the beginning of a reasonable and integral paradigm of the philosophical understanding of Russia in world history.

Full textAbstract:
With the destabilization of political and cultural boundaries between peoples and nations, the concept of identity, with its implications in the dialectics of self and other, becomes a philosophical challenge in a globalised cosmopolitan world. The challenge resides in the fact that in such a postmodern situation where identity is viewed as shapeless, shifting and moving beyond the fixity of Manichean thought, a process of questioning is enacted to interrogate identity in its past, present and future implications. This paper will attempt to look at the ways in which some postcolonial novels set out to deconstruct the concept of identity by constructing ambivalent texts, blurring the borders between self and other, laying the foundations for hybridity where otherness reigns as a process of signification which rests on interpretation.

Full textAbstract:
Constitutional theorists have had relatively little to say about the identity of what they study. This article addresses this inattention with a philosophical and comparative exploration of the concept of constitutional identity. Without such attention, a major preoccupation of theorists—constitutional change—will continue to be inadequately considered. The argument is advanced that there are attributes of a constitution that allow us to identify it as such, and that there is a dialogical process of identity formation that enables us to determine the specific identity of any given constitution. Representing a mix of aspirations and commitments expressive of a nation's past, constitutional identity also evolves in ongoing political and interpretive activities occurring in courts, legislatures, and other public and private domains. Conceptual possibilities of constitutional identity are, herein, pursued in two constitutional settings—India and Ireland—that highlight its distinctive features.

Full textAbstract:
This essay discusses Nishida Kitarō's view of absolute nothingness, a concept influenced by the tradition of Zen Buddhism. Methodologically, it is designed as philosophical hermeneutics and aims to provide a new perspective in the study of philosophy. Nishida's thinking is based on the tradition of Western philosophical thought, especially Hegel, Kant, and Heidegger. However, in its development, Nishida created a new philosophical construction that attempted to criticize the Western philosophical tradition. This paper shows that Nishida Kitarō internalized Zen Buddhism into his philosophy. Nishida brings together Zen Buddhism as a philosophical thought with various types of thought and figures in the Western philosophical tradition. Zettai mu or absolute nothingness is at the heart of all of Nishida's metaphysical edifice. This absolute nothingness is built on a spatial logic that allows contact between the subject and the object. Nishida understands the concept of absolute nothingness in three phenomenologies of personal identity. These three stages lead to the contradiction of absolute self-identity. These findings can contribute to forming new enlightenment in freeing oneself from false perceptions of reality and wrong views.

This article attempts to investigate the influence of social networks on the concept of personality and selfexpression in the modern online world. The article is an in-depth analysis of important aspects of this issue, starting with the creation of a virtual personality and control over its image in the digital environment. The authors also analyze the phenomenon of online self-expression and social accentuation, identifying philosophical and psychological aspects of the interaction between personality and digital reality. An important focus of the article is the question of how social networks and the digital environment in general affect the formation and modification of personal identity. The authors discuss changes in the perception of personality in the online space and consider which aspects of digital life contribute to strengthening or changing our concept of self. In addition, the article raises important ethical dilemmas related to privacy and social life in social networks. She highlights questions about the boundaries between the personal and the public in the digital age and offers a philosophical view on solving these dilemmas. Through the philosophical analysis presented in the article, a deep understanding of how the digital world shapes and changes our ideas about our own personality and social interactions in modern society is provided

Full textAbstract:
In the 20th and 21st centuries, active interactions have occurred between representatives of various cultures and traditions. This influences religious and philosophical concepts, including those in India. Modern people wish to learn more about ancient Hindu concepts and values. The concept of the soul plays an important role in the formation of personal and cultural identity. In this article, we focus on the term “jivatman.” Within the framework of Indian culture and philosophy, concepts such as “Atman,” “Paramatman,” “jiva,” and later “jivatman” are integral to the traditional heritage that is preserved and passed down through generations. In the context of philosophical knowledge, it is important to distinguish concepts such as Atman and soul, since they have different meanings in the religious and philosophical traditions of India. Atman is the inner Higher Self, while the soul (jiva) is the bearer of life and is subject to the laws of karma. Some philosophers and researchers identify “jivatman” as a synonym for “jiva,” meaning the soul, while others equate it with the concept “Atman.” Cultural memory plays a key role in preserving this heritage, and the various interpretations of the term “jivatman” can be attributed to the processes of globalization and the politics of multiculturalism. We examined the interpretation of the term “jivatman” in dictionaries, analyzed its use in ancient texts, and considered the opinions of philosophers, neo-Hindu religious leaders, and researchers, including Mircea Eliade, Sri Aurobindo, Srila Prabhupada, and others. The emergence of representatives of the “new Indian mythmaking,” such as Devdutt Pattanaik, also influenced modern Hindu religious and philosophical thought. Analyzing his works, we observe a tendency to conflate the two terms (Atman and jiva) leading to their identification as a single concept. Our research indicates that Devdutt Pattanaik’s analysis often lacks depth and fails to delve into the fundamental essence of Indian philosophy. This tendency towards simplification can lead to a superficial comprehension of the foundational principles and ideas that form the basis of Indian spiritual traditions.

Objective: The aim of this paper is to provide a defence of diversity in psychiatry and, correspondingly, to show that strict ‘biologism’ (or any other ‘total’ approach to psychiatry) is inappropriate. Method: Arguments are developed using as a basis the writings of well known philosophers such as Stephen Toulmin, Joel Feinberg and Charles Taylor. The authors examine the concepts of explanation and causation and consider the consequences for psychiatry which might follow the acceptance of mind-brain identity. There is also a discussion of the concept of a person. Result: If the same phenomenon is subject to explanation from diverse psychiatric perspectives, it does not follow that these modes of explanation must exclude or be in competition with each other. They may in fact be necessary to each other if psychiatry is to provide a full picture of mental functioning and human conduct. The thesis of mind-brain identity does not eliminate the variety of discourses within psychiatry, and hence it does not provide a rationale for ‘biologism’. Conclusion: There is a need for a co-operative multidimensional approach in psychiatry.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between terroir and cultural identity to illustrate that the concept is being employed as a means to reconnect people to the land or an ancestral heritage. The rapid pace of globalization has created a disconnect between identity and the land for many people. If it is true that 99% of human history has been spent as hunter-gathers, it is fair to say that we have a strong connection to the land as a sense of placein direct relation to food procurement. We know we can´t go back to being hunter-gathers, but it doesn´t mean we can´t seek out or desire a connection to the land or an ancestral heritage. This connection can be represented by the concept of terroir. To synthesize the various defi nitions of terroir, it is important to explore the historical origins of the term. A philosophical view establishes that the concept of terroir exists as a separate experience to be refl ected upon independentfrom the sensory experience produced by eating or drinking a food product. A selection of essays and articles are presented to illustrate that the human or cultural component is the most important factor in considering the role of terroir in shaping or creating identity at ethnic, national, regional, and individual levels. Whether one simply believes the concept is being used as a marketing gimmick or that it resonates with our identities, terroir does exist in relating place, timeand people to the production, consumption, and epistemolog y of our modern foodways.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the most complex, little-studied in jurisprudence and the theory of civil law, deep-seated issues of protecting the weakness in delicate and other legal relations. The authors proceed from the fact that the effectiveness of the protection of the weakness is based on its holistic understanding of both legal and philosophical categories. Based on this, the authors draw a philosophical-semantic and lexical-legal analogy between this category and the category of a weak subject, its semantic conditionality from such philosophical categories as personality, self-worth of a person. It is proposed to consider the category of the weakness from the standpoint of its static and dynamic states, the conditionality of the effectiveness of its protection in the post-Soviet society from the development and state of effectiveness of formal institutions, as well as the ideological and value attitude of Kazakhstan society to the fundamental principles of the rule of law, formal equality and social justice The authors separately highlight the dependence of legal protection of a weak subject on the extent to which Kazakhstan's socio-legal reality realizes: a) the conditionality of a person from society, on the one hand; and b) his natural-biological and cognitive self-sufficiency, on the other. In this context, the authors make some retrospective analysis of the state of natural human rights in Kazakhstan of the Soviet period, reveal the nature and essence of the category "I". According to the authors, the category "I" in post-classical reality is a key element of such self-sufficiency. It is on the basis of their unity that reflection, comprehension and concepts of self-awareness and self-knowledge, self-identity, respect for self and other, society and the state should be built.

Full textAbstract:
This inquiry investigates the concept of European values and cultural, philosophical, legal and political presuppositions on which the idea of European values is based. There are two approaches to the idea of European values. The first one is substantive approach (and includes philosophical, ethical, religious and ideological understanding of values). The substantive approach defines European values as based on the European heritage (ancient Greece and Rome, Christianity, Renaissance and humanism, Enlightenment and liberal traditions). This conception of European values is fixed. Another understanding of European values is represented by legal/political approach (that includes the definition of European values within European treatises, declarations, charters and other documents). Legal and political definition of European values includes: human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights. Most authors consider that only from this second level, from legal and political definition, general features of European values can be achieved, that is, universal rules of the game. This paper shows how these two different approaches can be integrated, relying on John Rawls’s idea of overlapping consensus. It should be emphasized that the question of European values and European identity is still a topic of debate. There are different definitions and interpretations of these concepts, regardless of the legal definitions within the framework of European declarations and treaties. European identity (based on European values) is a polyphonic category, which cannot be founded on monolithic definitions. Otherwise, the entire continent would fall under the rule of one homogeneous culture.

Full textAbstract:
In the current article the author considers the problem of the subject’s personal identity. The analysis of this concept seems to be very relevant, since in today’s public space the concept of identity is used, firstly, as non-problematic, and, secondly, as completely politicized. The analysis of the concept of identity is important because philosophy can look at the subject’s identity without prejudice and thereby depoliticize its concept. And ontology as a branch of philosophy is able to carry out a truly fundamental and comprehensive research of the concept of the subject’s identity. Personal identity turns out to be an ontological concept because the subject exists as identical to itself, and consistent reflection on the modes of existence of the subject inevitably leads us to discover the concept of its identity. The subject of the article is the subject’s personal identity. On the basis of philosophical methodology and on the method of historical analysis, the author of the study considers personal identity as something non-self-evident, placing it in the conceptual framework of subjectivity proposed by Levinas. The personal identity of the subject is endowed with the status of a mediator, smoothing out the collision of the same and the other. In this research, human identity appears as both a space and the result of a collision of familiar experience and new impressions – in the terminology of Levinas – identical and different. The temporal structure of the subject’s identity is revealed. The concept of an ontological criterion of personal identity is put forward and four historical concepts that offer such a criterion are considered: Locke, Hume, Kant and Parfit. Thus, four ontological criteria are found – consciousness, memory, transcendental criterion and psychological continuity. Each criterion is analyzed, integrated into the ontology of the subject’s personal identity and the role of each criterion is traced in the organization of its temporal structure. The results of the research are the reconstruction of the discovered concepts in the status of ontological criteria of personal identity, their comparative analysis is carried out. It is concluded that Parfit’s psychological continuity is the most consistent of all the analyzed criteria because it simultaneously affirms the possibility of the subject’s personal identity and outlines the boundaries of the application of this concept. Though psychological continuity doesn’t fit in Levinas’ conceptual frame because it doesn’t solve existential and ontological problems, that exist around concept of personal identity.

Full textAbstract:
When philosophers have turned their attention to Europe they have typically done so in order to interrupt geographical and geo-political determinations of its identity, and to stress instead that its cultural - or spiritual - identity is caught up with the Greek idea of philosophy. Europe, on this classical philosophical construal, is not simply the place where philosophy was first elaborated and developed. On the contrary, Europe first arises as a place only in and through the elaboration and development of philosophy. Europe is thus itself a philosophical phenomenon - its identity inseparable from the idea of a project that concerns ‘rational animality’ as such, and hence humanity as a whole. In his book on philosophical approaches to Europe from Husserl to Derrida, Rodophe Gasché introduces and defends the classical idea of Europe's Greek origin. Finding a somewhat different stress in Derrida's own study of Europe as a philosophical concept, this review attempts to open up a conception of Europe as a ‘philosopheme’ which resists conceptual clarification in the terms Gasché recommends, enjoining one instead to a task that is always beyond theoretical lucidity: to ‘stick one's neck out’ in the name of Europe.

The aim of this paper is the reconsideration of Gadamer?s hermeneutical-ontological aesthetics, through the analysis of the concepts of play, truth and identity. After a brief introduction and the situating of Gadamer?s aesthetics in relation to the subjective and positivist tradition, it will be respectively discussed Gadamer?s understanding of play as the clue to the ontological explanation of art in Truth and method, the truth as self-relevatory and in addition to that the reaffirmation of the concept of mimesis and knowledge in art. Finally, the identity in the context of the temporality of the artwork, as well as hermeneutic identity exposed in Gadamer?s later work The Relevance of the Beautiful will be discussed. In the conclusion, some of the most important receptions of Gadamer?s philosophical aesthetic thought will be presented, which aim is to its basic components: play, truth and identity.

Full textAbstract:
The present article attempts a philosophical, ontological and anthropological in-depth investigation of the conceptually opposed dual model identity-alterity in view of essentialist propaedeutic considerations, therefore contributing to the avoidance of reductionist interpretations. Thus, identity lays emphasis on the metaphysical problem of the "thing in itself", endowed with particular, unique properties and its relations with reality, as well as that of becoming, whereas alterity develops into a co-constructive—once the status of positive primordiality validated—total and irreducible concept. Being part of meta-categories of thinking about "Being", the opposing binomial identity-alterity is to be found as a fundamental concept in various disciplinary fields: logic, mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, psychology, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, etc. thus, contributing to attempts to identify and individuate things, people, phenomena, facts, processes, etc. In the current era of globalization/mundialization processes, alongside with the opposing trends in this regard, when humanity and contemporary societies develop a gnoseological (re)evaluation of anthropological valorization, the in-depth knowledge of the antagonistic-integrative concept of identity/alterity profiles an epistemological technique and an open, complex, systemic and integral approach based on a series of considerations: discontinuity and non-separability, syncretic and integrative unity of co-constructive dualities, polytropic perception, propagation of complementarity, gnoseological and epistemological (co)relativity integrated into a real-rational-relational dynamic interface.

Full textAbstract:
This essay aims to comparatively discuss the differences and similarities between the ideas on difference and identity put forth by two prominent Western thinkers of contemporary theories: Gilles Deleuze, a French philosopher, and Theodore Adorno, a German philosopher. Rather than a purely philosophical comparative study, this research focuses specifically on the comparison of both thinkers’ discussions of Kafka’s works. Adorno has been regarded as the philosopher of negativity, while Deleuze is seen as the philosopher of positivity and life. Although both philosophers perceive the world differently, they both strive to deconstruct Western ideas of identity in order to revive the concept of ‘difference.’ Identity and difference have been topics of extensive philosophical discussion and hold relevance in contemporary areas such as community, politics, and ethics. The essay begins by presenting the thoughts of Hegel and Heidegger on difference and identity, before delving into Adorno’s deconstruction of these ideas and his exploration of negativity as a means to disrupt identity. In comparison to Adorno, Deleuze develops the notion of difference itself as a pathway to the realm of becoming. The latter half of the essay compares both thinkers’ discussions of Kafka’s world: Adorno’s analysis of the Kafkaesque in light of non-identity, and Deleuze’s examination of minor literature and the concept of the line of flight.

Full textAbstract:
The discovery of America was one of the major events that determined the establishment of the world-historical process. However, for a long time this large-scale and all-important phenomenon, as well as the concept itself, was interpreted strictly in accordance with the Eurocentric attitudes and assessments of history. The European outlook tended to review the ambiguous, heterogeneous in its content, and accompanied by contradictions phenomenon in narrow geographical, political, economic, and epistemological perspectives. The usual interpretation lacked the cultural-historical, philosophical, and cultural meanings. The author of the article attempts to fill the lost meanings and to expand the very meaning of the concept of “the discovery of America” by changing perspectives - from the European to the (Latin) American one, in which the concept reaches a new interpretative level by having defined the continent-wide culture-forming strategy, and is able to absorb many meanings of self-identification of the subject involved in the global historical process.

AbstractKatsume Takizawa (1909–1984) was one of the most innovative of twentieth-century Japanese philosophical theologians. His study with Barth (1935) led him to attempt to bring together aspects of Barth's theology with concepts derived from Jodo-shin and Zen. He found in both religions a basic relationship between God and man which transcended both identity and distinction, which he expressed in Nishida's concept of the self-identity of the absolute contradiction. This relationship he called ‘Emmanuel 1’. The fulfilment of the relationship is ‘Emmanuel 2’ and is reflected for Christians in Jesus.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study is to identify the specific features and socio-philosophical foundations of the visualization of cultural identity in the “theater” of everyday life. The research methodology is based on: 1) the theory of the image, which evolves from the perception of the image as a simple sign to the understanding that in some cases it can become a symbol (with broad interpretational possibilities); 2) method of sociocultural analysis in the framework of concept of theatricality of sociocommunicative manifestations of culture. The effectiveness of the concept of theatricality of sociocommunicative manifestations of culture is due to the fact that it allows you to “collect” at one point performative, medial, iconic, semiotic and other concepts of philosophical understanding of social processes and phenomena. This approach showed the need for a new look at the dramatization of life, where not only “the whole world is the theater, and the people in it are actors”, but also every person is a “theater”. A look at the modern world as a combination of individual, personal “theaters” (the scientific novelty of the research) made it possible to identify the special functions of costume and jewelry in the scenography of these “theaters”. These functions are manifested in situations that require a person to create a certain image. Then the costume and jewelry become: 1) an active component of the sociocommunicative space, as mediums of information of a certain nature; 2) a form of self-presentation; 3) a way to visualize cultural identity. It is shown that the causes of the emergence of cultural phenomena of fashion and theatricalization of life are the same: in both cases, the desire of people to “try on” different roles is realized. This correlates with the possibility of simultaneously determining several identities for one person, which means not a loss of identity or the replacement of one’s own identity (imposed), but the search for additional personal identities. Costume and jewelry provide ample opportunities for such personal creative experiments with identity/roles in the “theater” of everyday life. Characteristic features of the modern “theater” of everyday life, as well as the cultural situation in general, are dynamism, frequent changes of form and states. Therefore, the change of images (which is easily accomplished by changing jewelry and accessories) contributes to this sociocultural game.

The social-philosophical research of a phenomenon of urban memory is presented in the article. The basic is the memory concept. Defining essence of individual and collective memory in their interrelation and development, the author has created the platform for conceptualization of urban memory. Concepts “memory figures”, “reminiscence modes”, “а subject of urban memory” “an object of urban memory”, “the place of memory”, “cultural forms”, development of typology of cultural forms of the urban landscape and the concept “substitution” have allowed to create complete idea of urban memory.Urban memory is treated as one of forms of collective memory. It is carried out by the city as social community and collective historical identity in relation to itself, to the famous historical figures and products of the sociocultural development who personify the historical past and the present of the city, are uniform for members of urban society, are included in a context of personal memory and are reproduced in individual memoirs.Urban memory is changeable and substituted (from Latin – substitutio) because in development there is a replacement of one objects of memory with others. It is substantially caused by transformation of an urban cultural landscape and can be interpreted as natural development of the city and memory. On the example of Vitebsk the author has shown dependence of transformation of urban memory on change of an urban cultural landscape. The multilayered substitutability of the city and its memory is as a result revealed.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe concept of narrativity and narrative identity has two birth certificates: it is linked to the phenomenological tradition—beginning with Arendt’s “political phenomenology” —and to the tradition of German Idealism gradually slipping into existentialism. In this article, the author focuses on the latter tradition that helped to pave the way of the concept of narrative self. Key among the thinkers of Classical German Idealism has been Hegel, often considered the philosophical storyteller. Yet the author argues that Hegel’s concept of narrativity is not exclusively applied to the self and has hardly any role in the constitution of consciousness. This is the reason why Hegel (rather than thinkers who place the core of personal identity into narrativity) has the means to formulate a more convincing concept of the self and personal identity. The author does not deny that narrativity is seminal, both for leading a life as a human being and as a concrete person; however, originally consciousness and self-hood are born out of negativity. One enacts one’s selfhood, once one realizes that one has to interrupt narrativity, step in, refuse to live by it, or just ordinarily rephrase it consciously and by this appropriate it.

AbstractThere is a widespread assumption that ethnic origins substantially contribute, if not constitute, the identity of individuals. In particular, among the ethnic elements, it is claimed that religion takes precedence and people could be individuated in terms of their religious affiliations. Indeed, public theology as an attempt to expand on the public consequences of religious doctrines and beliefs is predicated on the legitimacy of the idea of religious identity. However, the purpose of this article is to show that strictly speaking identity cannot be constituted by religion. More precisely, it is argued that a phenomenological characterization of individual identity fails to do justice to the philosophical requirements of identity. The argument is obviously philosophical by nature and is developed through an analysis of the concept of revelation. The phenomenon of revelation plays a pivotal role in the Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions, yet by its very nature owes its authenticity to something prior to itself; namely, reason. This entails the priority of reason over revelation and as such undermines claims that purport to define identity in terms of revelation/religion. This detachment of identity from religion would clearly have far reaching socio-political implications for issues such as religious diversity, pluralism and multiculturalism in particular and public theology in general.

Full textAbstract:
Offering one of the first critical receptions on identity in Thomas Pynchon’s latest novel beyond the reviews, this paper seeks to show that bilocation, a fictional disposition affecting personal mobility in Against The Day, brings up the question of what we are by suggesting what we could be. It investigates how the novel redefines and enlarges concepts of identity by exploring several aspects of sameness and selfhood exposed to a very special kind of migration: Being in two places, countries, or worlds at the same time, a multiplicity of characters in Against The Day opt for the excluded middle when a fork in the road presents itself. The paper investigates these new forms of identity in the novel and explores their impact on philosophical concepts such as the notion of a seamless continuity of identity, the role of subjectivity for identity, and the concept of a narrative identity.

Identity, Recognition or Redistribution through Sport?Identity has long since been a key concept within historical, sociological and philosophical enquires into sport. This article asserts that identity politics in sport is not enough and alternative forms of thinking about identity need to challenge the conventional wisdom that identity for identity sake is sufficient. By introducing the notions recognition and re-distribution this research attempts to move the field of sport on. Only by looking at alternative conceptions of the links between identity, redistribution and recognition can we meet the requirements of justice for all through and in sport. This article addresses the following concerns (i) sport in the age of identity politics; (ii) from identity politics to recognition through sport and (iii) from recognition through sport to redistribution and social justice.

Full textAbstract:
Analogy belongs to the class of concepts notorious for a variety of definitions generating continuing disputes about their preferred understanding. Analogy is typically defined by or at least associated with similarity, but as long as similarity remains undefined this association does not eliminate ambiguity. In this paper, analogy is considered synonymous with a slightly generalized mathematical concept of similarity which under the name of tolerance relation has been the subject of extensive studies over several decades. In this approach, analogy can be mathematically formalized in terms of the sequence of binary relations of increased generality, from the identity, equivalence, tolerance, to weak tolerance relations. Each of these relations has cryptomorphic presentations relevant to the study of analogy. The formalism requires only two assumptions which are satisfied in all of the earlier attempts to formulate adequate definitions which met expectations of the intuitive use of the word analogy in general contexts. The mathematical formalism presented here permits theoretical analysis of analogy in the contrasting comparison with abstraction, showing its higher level of complexity, providing a precise methodology for its study and informing philosophical reflection. Also, arguments are presented for the legitimate expectation that better understanding of analogy can help mathematics in establishing a unified and universal concept of a structure.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyzes the peculiarities of the reflection of a person’s legal behavior in the light of various philosophical and legal scientific discourses. In general, the analysis of a person’s legal behavior in the debatable paradigm of the philosophy of law in the context of studying the problem of establishing legal cooperation illuminates the deep aspects of the interaction between the individual and the legal system. Philosophical concepts help to consider this topic on a metaphysical level, revealing the fundamental principles and moral aspects of legal behavior.
It was established that the primary springboard for considering behavior in the context of legal reality is its consideration through the ideological paradigm of human rights, since the concept recognizes the inalienability and inalienability of the rights of each person, justifying their fundamentality due to the presence of dignity inherent to each person. The main idea is that these rights are not only legal norms, but also a key element that forms personal dignity and freedom and express the personal identity of a person, and in evaluating human behavior, the role of the state and society in ensuring and protecting rights as an unconditional axiological determinants.
It is proved that a valid paradigm of reflection is the need to analyze behavior in the prism of a social contract, since the mutual agreement of people involves the exchange of a part of individual freedom for common order and security, ensured by the adoption of rules and obligations, which forms the basis for the creation of the state and the legal order. Thus, a person’s behavior is evaluated for its compliance with established rules and the ability to interact with other members of society in peace and mutual understanding.
It is motivated that the philosophical analysis of ethical-philosophical concepts in the context of human behavior defines two key areas - deontology and consequentology.

Full textAbstract:
The differences between K.N. Leontyev's view on Slavic and Russian cultural identity in the context of his religious and philosophical aestheticism are considered. Leontyev argued that the Slavic cultural type turned into the illusion of "Slavism," is strongly dependent on the Romano-Germanic type, and this dependence is only intensified and the Russian civilization for its own preservation should reject the Slavic cultural type in its real historical existence. The ideological connection of Leontyev's social teaching with Eurasianism, his concept of "continental solidarity" of the peoples of Central and East Asia, is shown.
