Abstract:

Resumo: Trata-se aqui de pensar a relação entre Filosofia e Literatura. A partir das aparentes semelhanças e divergências entre ambas, indaga-se se há ou não entre elas uma distinção essencial. Para tanto, retomam-se os argumentos apresentados por Antonio Cicero em Poesia & Filosofia. Assim como as ideias filosóficas, como defende Antonio Cicero, são secundárias para a composição literária, a qual adquire seu valor estético pela maneira como as enuncia, para a Filosofia a escrita não é mais que um instrumento para o pensamento filosófico. Dada tal concepção instrumental do discurso, retoma-se a proposta de Pierre Hadot segundo a qual a Filosofia é primordialmente uma maneira de viver, a qual permite mostrar que a distinção entre a Filosofia e a Literatura precisa ser repensada num nível mais fundamental do que o discursivo. Por esta representação primordial da Filosofia como uma maneira de viver obtém-se que a distinção entre Filosofia e Literatura não se dá pela forma peculiar como cada uma articula os planos de expressão e de conteúdo, mas pela função mesma que o discurso ocupa na constituição de ambas. Disso se seguem também algumas considerações extemporâneas sobre a própria natureza do filósofo e a do escritor ou poeta.Palavras-chave: filosofia; literatura; modo de vida filosófico.Abstract: This article aims to discuss the relation between Philosophy and Literature. Based on supposed similarities and discrepancies, it is investigated if there is an essential distinction concerning them. For such, some arguments elaborated by Antonio Cicero, on his essay Poesia & Filosofia, are analyzed. Antonio Cicero sustains that philosophical ideas are secondary to the literary composition, whose aesthetic value is acquired by the way those ideas are expressed and not by the ideas themselves. Moreover, in Philosophy, the act of writing is no more than an instrument to convey the philosophical thought. This instrumental role of discourse in philosophical works allows us to shed new light into Pierre Hadot’s conception of Philosophy as essentially a way of life. Thus, it will be proposed that the distinction between Philosophy and Literature should be rethought at a level that is deeper than the discursive one, as suggested by Antonio Cicero. The representation of Philosophy as a way of life indicates that the distinction between Philosophy and Literature is not a case of how each one articulates their levels of content and expression. Actually, it concerns the peculiar role of discourse in both of them. Some ultimate considerations on the very nature of the philosopher and of the writer or poet as well follow that existential distinction.Keywords: philosophy; literature; philosophy as a way of life.

Abstract:

The author views the work of A.I. Solzhenitsyn through the prism of the Russian self-comprehension specific features, namely the triunique approach to solving the most fundamental and deep problems that people are concerned with. Such approach determined by Christianity and confession of the Holy Trinity envisages the existence of three fundamentals in a human being: personality, human nature (essence) and vitality. The author assumes that human creative work in general has this triunique structure and uses this approach when analyzing the creative legacy of the writer.

Abstract:

The issue of the existence of a peculiarly “Russian” philosophy has long been the object of many debates, which soon led to very different and often opposite conclusions. The question is always the same: Is there an original contribution that Russian authors made to philosophy, in the same way as with literature, arts, and sciences? What happened to Greek/Western philosophy when cultivated in “Russian soil”? In order to answer these questions, it is necessary to first carry out a brief examination of the never-obvious issue of “what being a philosopher means”, i.e. of what generally distinguishes an intellectual who claims to be a “philosopher” from other kinds of intellectuals or scholars. After this short but necessary premise, this article will try to sum up some of the classic and modern definitions of Russian philosophy (from Chaadaev to Evlampiev) and conclude by proposing a personal idea about an overarching frame of Russian philosophical thought. In my opinion, the latter mostly originates from a peculiar reception in Russia of Platonism, Idealism and Marxism that ultimately transformed those views, especially during the Silver Age, into a sort of “integral gnoseology”, which connects “logos” and “life” in a specifically dialectical way that can be described, pour cause, as “Russian”. This “integral gnoseology” ultimately conjoins science and humanism in an original way and is capable of opening up to discreet phenomena and to multiple levels of knowledge.

Abstract:

This article discusses the relationship between the externality of nature and the autonomy of reason, one of the most vexed problems in Hegel’s philosophy. Simply, it focuses on the question of how the compatibility of the logical structure of reason and factual reality is solved in Hegelian system. It is asserted here that Hegel finds the answers given before him in modern philosophy of nature inadequate, so he refuses both realist and idealist approaches. For him, nature is neither wholly compatible nor distinct from reason. Since he repudiates the two options, asking whether Hegel’s philosophy of nature is a priori style or not becomes irrelevant. After reviewing the literature, a new interpretation beyond this dichotomy is suggested. On the basis of an analysis of the first pages of Philosophy of Nature I will show that, according to Hegel, nature and metaphysics are two different language games: the essential issue is a problem of translation. Although Idea serves as a metalanguage holding together these two language games, no exact transition is possible.

Abstract:

This paper claims that the inner drive of the discussion leading to the philosophical rupture between Fichte and Schelling is the problem of the independence of nature. I argue that the otherwise rich literature on the subject, by not engaging with this problem, has led to a false dichotomy between two equally unsatisfactory possibilities of interpretation: (a) Schelling’s misunderstanding of Kant’s transcendental method or (b) his overcoming of it. On my account, once one engages with Schelling’s philosophy of nature, it becomes clear that he, just as Fichte, is exploring the inner tensions of Kant’s philosophy, even though he does it in a different and original direction.

Abstract:

The article aims at highlighting the uniqueness of thinking and academic activity of Donatas Sauka, who for many years was a professor at the Department of Lithuanian Literature of Vilnius University. The article reveals his scholarly ambitions – broad interests, good knowledge of classic Western literature, and an attempt to keep the achievements of natural sciences on the horizon of humanities. However, he harboured artistic and poetic inclinations in his nature; he has translated a number of classical texts required for his research. The philological interests of the professor were permeated by self-reflection. Comparative literature science was his field of research – even though his other interests also competed for his attention, he analysed methodological issues, different scopes of national literatures and paradoxes of literary analysis. He also raised an essential question for comparison – from what and how are clusters of literary identity formed; how they are related to the mental history and language of a nation; how creative incentives are formed and how they operate.

Abstract:

The manifestation and evolution of Western philosophy in English literature represent a rich and diverse historical process. This article systematically examines the influence of philosophical movements from the classical period to the modern era on English literature. Ancient Greek and Roman philosophies inspired the themes and materials of literary works, while medieval Christian philosophy profoundly influenced the rise and development of religious themes. The humanist movement of the Renaissance integrated philosophy with literature, reflecting humanity's pursuit of the human spirit. The specific manifestations of philosophy in literature include themes such as self-consciousness, rationality, and nature, with different philosophical schools and literary styles also forming close associations. Interdisciplinary research will provide us with a deeper understanding, promoting interaction and exchange between philosophy and literature.

Abstract:

The article deals with the works of German science fiction writer Kurd Lasswitz (1848–1910). The article provides a brief description of the main themes and directions of the writer’s work. Lasswitz was the creator of the scientific tale genre (das wissenschaftliche Märchen), in which he had set the task of building new relationships between science and literature, nature and man, the animate particle and the cosmic whole. In accordance with the spirit of the fin de siècle era the scientific tale represented a new, post-positivist ideal of knowledge. The key theme of Lasswitz’s fiction was the search for extraterrestrial civilizations.Mars became for Lasswitz a place where the intelligent extraterrestrial beings have realized an ideal society in which ethics and technology are NOT in conflict. Lasswitz was not a neo-Kantian philosopher only, he was also an active popularizer of Kant’s philosophy. He was striving to create a Kantian utopia in literature. For Lasswitz Mars became the realization of this utopia. Also Lasswitz sought to give literary embodiment to the ideas of another philosopher, Gustav Theodor Fechner. Following his philosophy, Lasswitz develops environmental and existential issues of the coexistence of intelligent plants with humans. In Lasswitz’ story for children “The Escaped Flower” (1910), one can trace how in Lasswitz’ science fiction (scientific tale) the themes of the habitability of space (Mars), science and technology of the future interact with the ideas of Kant and Fechner.

Abstract:

The understanding of the philosophy of reality can vary from individual to individual. This is due to the different backgrounds, interests, approaches, and points of view that each person has about the subject. The philosophy of the nature of reality involves complex and abstract philosophical questions that can be interpreted and understood in different ways by different people. The aim of this study is to discuss the philosophy of reality as a journey towards a deeper understanding of science. This study is a qualitative descriptive study based on literature. The results of this research suggest that the journey towards a deeper understanding of reality involves an understanding of the nature of science itself, how science is acquired, and how science depicts reality. An in-depth understanding of reality can be gained by studying the history of philosophy, studying philosophical currents, reading classical and contemporary philosopher texts, engaging in discussions and debates, thinking critically and analyzing arguments, researching related disciplines, asking questions, and staying open.

Abstract:

As unique creatures, humans have specific characteristics that make them different from other creatures. It certainly makes scientists interested in studying it and including this theme in particular fields of study, including Islamic philosophy. Thus, this study aims to describe Human Nature from the Perspective of Islamic Philosophy. The method used is qualitative with literature study techniques, while the documentation model becomes a tool for data collection. Then, the essential and relevant things according to the theme are recorded, a careful analysis of the contents is carried out, and finally, it is concluded. The results of the study show that human nature in Islamic philosophy is placed as a creature that has a myriad of potentials with which he must maintain a relationship with the universe and its contents and continue to pay attention to ethical, moral, and social values to others to worship Allah so that he can achieve optimally the highest goal is to get a good life in the world and be safe in the afterlife.

Abstract:

In Greek archaic literature and philosophy, Eros, the god of love and desire, has numerous origin stories, which lead to different understandings of his nature. These extend to both orthodox and heterodox texts within the economic canon, whose definitions of interest rearticulate the mythological subtext of desire. What might have happened if the Western world had not discarded the passions in its quest for material progress?

Abstract:

Background. Philosophy of law is a branch of philosophy that studies the nature of law, especially in its relation to human values, relationships, and practice. The points of views to the nature of law often depend on the philosophical position taken by a particular philosopher or group of philosophers. As a result, legal philosophy becomes the object of heated discussions, the main feature of which is reduced to the question of what is due and being, i.e. can and should positivist law replace the traditional values developed by mankind as regulators of behavior and relationships. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to determine the relationship between the philosophy of law as a “special” or “private” discipline and “general” philosophy. The subject of the study is the philosophical ideas of a rational approach to law as a practice. Methods. The research method is the analysis of scientific literature and philosophical reflection. Conclusions. In the philosophy of law the decisive factor is not so much its attitude to general philosophy, but the relationship between the philosophy of law and the law itself. Results. The effectiveness of the work done lies in the fact that the findings allow us to consider the philosophy of law as a practical philosophy. The results obtained can be used in further practical and theoretical studies of philosophy and theory of law.

Abstract:

Abstract: Socialist literature and art are constructed on the basis of Marxist philosophy. The “people character” of socialist literature and art is based on the fact that Marxist philosophy abandons individualism and focuses on a wider population’s freedom and happiness. Therefore, socialist literature and art take people rather than individuals as the subject of expression. Realism, the basic principle of socialist literary and artistic creation, is based on the materialism of Marxist philosophy. The “typical environment and typical characters” proposed by Marxist classic writers for socialist literary and artistic creation are the method and principle formed by applying the philosophical concepts of the organic combination of the objective world and human subjectivity, and the organic combination of nature and social history to the concrete literary and artistic creation in Marxist theory. Marxist philosophy regards sensibility and aesthetics as important elements for literature and art to play a practical role. It believes that sensibility and aesthetics are not limited to the subjective world of people, but have the possibility of connecting with the external objective world. Therefore, socialist literature and art must pay attention to aesthetics.

Abstract:

I want to defend a Combinatorialtheory of possibility. Such a view traces the very idea of possibility to the idea of the combinations – all the combinations which respect a certain simple form – of given, actual, elements. Combination is to be understood widely enough to cover the notions of expansion and contraction. (My central metaphysical hypothesis is that all there is is the world of space and time. It is this world which is to supply the actual elements for the totality of combinations. So what is proposed is a Naturalistic form of a combinatorial theory.)The combinatorial idea is not new, of course. Wittgenstein gave a classical exposition of it in the Tractatus. Perhaps its charter is 3.4: ‘A proposition determines a place in logical space. The existence of this logical place is guaranteed by the mere existence of the constituents’ (my italics). There is a small additional combinatorial literature. I myself was converted to a combinatorial view by Brian Skyrms’ brief but fascinating article ‘Tractarian Nominalism.’

Abstract:

Naturally occurring minerals are grouped into five types of geological formations. Other substances that may be present in Fivefold are called constituents. The concepts of God and soul based on Vedic and Upanishad principles are not found anywhere in Tolkappiyam or Sangam literature. Nature is the unadulterated first philosophical position of the Tamils in their life. It can be seen that the attempt to search for causes and factors in the dynamic nature of nature has paved the way for the emergence of philosophy and theoretical concepts. In this way, priming the object and priming the concept is taking place through time. Although Jainism, Buddhism, and Vedicism can be found in the Tamil philosophical tradition, this article has explored the auspicious thoughts that had already strengthened.

Abstract:

Philosophy is the study of the nature of things, such as humans, nature, and God. Philosophy is seen as a humanizing process so that humans are able to develop and actualize themselves with all the original potential that exists within themselves. Education develops from curiosity, curiosity, and the desire to seek reality which is a characteristic of humans. Education is a special human effort to express reality, in order to enable humans to socialize with each other, build dialogue by acknowledging other people, and increase their human dignity. Philosophy is an inseparable part of educational practice, but the existence of this philosophy seems to have begun to be abandoned. Considering that philosophy is an inseparable part of education, this paper attempts to reaffirm the relationship between philosophy and education. The method used to determine the relationship between philosophy and the author's education is to study literature. Based on the results of the study of literature clearly shows the relationship between philosophy and educational practice as in curriculum formulation and educational theories.

Abstract:

Naturalistic philosophy is an approach in philosophy that emphasizes observation and understanding of natural phenomena and human life through a scientific lens. This research aims to explore the importance of learning naturalistic philosophy in the context of the development of knowledge and human understanding of the surrounding world. Learning naturalistic philosophy opens the door to a broad understanding of the interconnectedness between humans and nature. By grasping the basic principles of naturalism, individuals can develop an awareness of the natural processes that shape their existence. This provides a strong foundation for understanding science and technology, as well as strengthening analytical skills and problem-solving abilities. The existence of naturalistic philosophy also supports the concepts of sustainability and environmental preservation. Through a profound understanding of human interaction with nature, individuals can develop a responsible attitude toward the environment and contribute to the conservation of natural resources. The importance of learning naturalistic philosophy is also reflected in its ability to stimulate curiosity and creativity. By engaging in philosophical thinking related to naturalism, one can develop a critical perspective on complex issues and formulate innovative solutions. This journal employs literature analysis and exploration of key concepts in naturalistic philosophy. The results indicate that learning naturalistic philosophy not only provides profound insights into nature and life but also shapes individuals who think analytically, are environmentally responsible, and are creative in addressing contemporary challenges. Therefore, the integration of naturalistic philosophy into education is a crucial step forward.

Abstract:

Histories of Arabic and Islamic philosophy tend to focus on texts which are systematic in nature and conventionally classified as philosophy or related scholarly disciplines. Philosophical principles, however, are also defining features of texts associated with other genres. Within the larger field of philosophy, this might be especially true of ethics and within the larger body of literature this might be especially the case for stories. Indeed, it is sometimes argued that the very purpose of storytelling is to reinforce and disseminate moral conventions. Likewise, the moral philosopher can be conceptualized as a homo narrans.The aim of this contribution is to apply the approach to narratives as a mode of debating ethical or moral principles to biographies of Alexander the Great. More than any other figure of the classical world, Alexander was religiously validated in the Islamic tradition due to his quasi-prophetic status as the ‘man with the two horns’ in the Qur’an. He appears prominently in the larger orbit of Arabic and Islamic philosophy as interlocutor and disciple of Aristotle and is adduced anecdotally in philosophical literature as an example to teach larger lessons of life. As a world conqueror, he provided an attractive model for those who sought to reconcile philosophical insight with worldly ambition.Focusing on biographies of Alexander, this article explores ethical principles which are inscribed in this body of literature and thus reads the texts as a narrativized form of philosophy. The analysis is comparative in two ways. Biographies of different periods and regions of the Islamicate world will be discussed, but comparisons with pre-Islamic biographies of Alexander (notably Roman biographies and the Alexander Romance) are included as well.

Abstract:

Philosophy and religion are two things that complement each other. Philosophy that deviates from thought and religion that deviates from belief has caused many people to criticize the existence of philosophy that can shake beliefs. In the eighth century, Al-Kindi emerged as the first Muslim philosopher who created the continuity of philosophy and religion, both philosophy and religion adhering to the truth. The most noble of al-Kindi's philosophy is the First Philosophy, which is to work hard to know the First God, namely Allah. Al-Kindi's sacred philosophy is included in the scope of metaphysics. In proving the existence of God, Al-Kindi put forward an empirical argument. They are: the new nature post (Hudutsil alam), the diversity post (Kastrah fil Maujudat) and the control nature post (Ibda'fil Alam). In addition, in the Qur'an there is also the word "God" is used to refer to gods other than Allah, such as idols, lust, gods. However, the word "Allah" is a special name that is not owned by any other word besides Him, because only God Almighty who must exist has the right to use this name, and no one or even should not except Him. The reality of the real existence of the Qur'an uses all forms as evidence, especially the existence of this universe and everything in it. This article uses the previous literature method, the aim is to understand the various meanings of Al-Kindi's divinity by referring to the Qur'an.

Full text

Abstract:

This article examines the seventeenth-century debate between the Dutch philosopher Benedict de Spinoza and the British scientist Robert Boyle, with a view to explicating what the twentieth-century French philosopher Gilles Deleuze considers to be the difference between science and philosophy. The two main themes that are usually drawn from the correspondence of Boyle and Spinoza, and used to polarize the exchange, are the different views on scientific methodology and on the nature of matter that are attributed to each correspondent. Commentators have tended to focus on one or the other of these themes in order to champion either Boyle or Spinoza in their assessment of the exchange. This paper draws upon the resources made available by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in their major work What is Philosophy?, in order to offer a more balanced account of the exchange, which in its turn contributes to our understanding of Deleuze and Guattari's conception of the difference between science and philosophy.

Full text

Abstract:

There is a growing interest in the role of non-cognitive affective responses in the philosophical literature on fiction and emotion. This flurry of scholarly interest is partly a reaction to cognitivist accounts of fiction and emotion that have been found to be inadequate. The inadequacy is particularly salient when this approach is employed to account for narrative horror. Cognitivist conceptions of the emotion engendered by narrative horror prove to be too restrictive. Cognitivist accounts also fail to give the formal devices and stylistic elements deployed in narrative horror a proper place within the spectator’s emotional engagement with it. In this paper I propose an alternative conception of the emotion “horror” that incorporates non-cognitive affective responses. I argue that this conception of “horror” is more fine-grained than the one characterized as a cognitivist approach. It captures more literary examples of the horror experience and it accommodates better the fear of the unknown. It also makes possible an aesthetics of horror in which formal devices and stylistic elements are given their proper place.

Abstract:

The article discusses the relationship between philosophy and poetry as specific ways of understanding the world and the ways in which words are similar and distinct. Based on a comparative analysis of the theory and methodology of the development of the world philosophy and the art of literature in national literary studies, the article examines the question of the nature and features of philosophical knowledge. The paper shows that poetic thinking and the ability to create symbols are both a unique feature of humans and one of the spiritual foundations of the study of the world and the representation of reality, and today they remain one of the bestpreserved qualities of poetry.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract: This article holds the opinion that some meta-picto-poetry of landscape, composed by American poet Gary Snyder, takes Chinese landscape painting as its subject matter with the characteristics of ancient Chinese poetry, shimmering with incomparable artistic charm and cultural substance. Poetry of this kind is a perfect combination of eastern and western elements, integrating the cultures, thoughts and arts of both sides. The appreciation of this poetry creates a complex experience with a hybrid of artistic forms and aesthetic spaces. Gary Snyder is not only an eco-poet, but also a stylist and a man of practice. His poetic works reveal the fostering relationship between literature, culture and nature. The article intends to make a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary and multi-field attempt in Snyder’s criticism, with analytical methods inclusive of eastern and western cultures, ancient and present visions as well as dynamic and static experiences.

Full text

Abstract:

This essay touches on the following topics: imagination, caprice, relative and absolute presuppositions, language, knowledge, moral and aesthetic values, art, evolution, and dreams. Collingwood distinguished between pre-reflective and reflective consciousness and identified four features of consciousness: forms (simple or primitive, practical, and theoretical or specialized), objects, feelings, and selective attention or focus. He also spoke of the corruption of consciousness that psychologists of his day called repression. This is a way in which we can falsify consciousness that can lead to inauthentic thinking and to error. The phenomenological description of these processes that he gave us is a promising over-all account. This essay also utilizes some of the contemporary literature on consciousness to draw comparisons and contrasts with Collingwood’s account. As a historical note, it offers some parallels between Leibniz and Collingwood on attention, awareness, and consciousness.

Abstract:

The rapidly expanding field of forensic geoscience derives its roots from nineteenth- and early twentieth-century scientists who both influence and are influenced by literature and fictional writing. Forensic geoscience borrows much, but not all, of its precepts from geological and geomorphological analytical techniques. Fundamental differences exist between forensic geoscience and its sister disciplines, fundamental enough to make the unwary geoscientist succumb to philosophical and practical pitfalls which will not only endanger the outline of their report, but may well indeed provide false-negative or false-positive results leading to contrary or inaccurate conclusions. In the law, such outcomes have devastating and untenable consequences. Forensic geoscience requires techniques of exclusion rather than inclusion and an acknowledgement that analytical techniques may be diagnostic only in very specific situations. Whether analysis of the ubiquitous or the exotic component is chosen, acknowledgement of the need for samples to be representative is required. The presentation of false-positive results or the lack of identification of sample ‘mixing’ is prerequisite to the application of statistical tests which must be applied in the most careful manner. The realization of the limitations of the technique requires, wherever possible, conjunctive analysis by other truly independent techniques. While personal opinion derives from experience, there is no place for assumption. Research papers in forensic geoscience are not submitted to be speculative or challenging as may be the case in many fields of geomorphology and geology. There is no place for conjecture in forensic geoscience.

Full text

Abstract:

Academic literature is unanimous in recognizing the relevance of Hobbes’s concept of state of nature for modern political philosophy. Many authors, especially under the influence of Leo Strauss and Quentin Skinner, have argued that this concept already existed before Hobbes; specifically, in Thomas Aquinas and the authors of the second scholasticism, strongly influenced by Aquinas. This article shows that this claim is based on an erroneous identification between the modern state of nature, the status legis naturae of Thomas Aquinas and the status naturae purae of late scholastic theology, and challenges the textual evidence advanced by them to prove the pre-existence of the concept. In doing so, it also contributes to better identify the precedents of Hobbes’s state of nature and to elucidate its historical relationship with related, though different scholastic concepts it has been confused with.

Full text

Abstract:

The article considers the phenomenon of interaction of philosophy and literature on the material of anthropological issues within the Western spiri tual tradition. It is shown that this kind of mutual enrichment has been successfully carried out since antiquity, in particular, in the sense of the influence of poetry and drama on the formation of philosophical thought, epic poetry and drama became the forefront of philosophy. Thus, a precedent was set, a certain model of interaction and mutual enrichment was initiated.It is emphasized that in literature, especially in drama, comic and tragic were explained in detail, which had an impact on the understanding of human nature in philosophy, as evidenced by the search for classical thinking – on a theoretical level and Hellenistic philosophizing – rather on a practical level: in the latter case, the philosopher often became someone like a literary character.The article also traces the analysis of the interaction of the tragic and the comic in the postantic era, in particular, from the Renaissance to the twentieth century.The affinity of philosophy and poetry as manifestations of the universalist approach to reality, characteristic of Western spiritual culture, as revealed by Aristotle, is also emphasized, and their emphasis is not on what was, but what should be. The productive interaction between philosophy and literature has been traced on the example of such antagonistic trends as the Enlightenment and Romanticism. The symptomatic appearance of such integrating literature and philosophy as S. Kierkegaard, F. Nietzsche and F. Dostoevsky in the 19th century is also pointed out. Examples of the close complementarity of anthropological research by philosophers and writers in the twentieth century are demonstrated. Finally, among the thinkers of the time is the figure of M. Heidegger, who, especially in his “late” period, often appealed and cothought with poets. It is noted that the most relevant in philosophical and literary studies (as opposed to scientific and religious approaches) is the analysis of time and death. That is, it is concluded that the most fruitful interaction of philosophy and literature was realized in modern times. Based on the principle of interdisciplinarity, it is substantiated that philosophical anthropology received the most fruitful impulses from the field of literature.

Full text

Abstract:

This article explores posthumanism as a philosophy that places an emphasis on human relationships with the natural world by looking at representations of animality in children’s play as well as in children’s books such as Where the Wild Things Are, Virginia Wolf and No Fits to comprehend the significance of philosophy in children’s literature and lives. The authors contend that children and adults can maintain a connection to the natural world even when they are unable to be in it themselves by encouraging a sense of wilderness or connection to nature. This can be done by engaging in literature and engaging in animal play. I discuss connections between children’s stories and bodies using a mixed-methods approach that combines educational theory, ecocriticism, and qualitative research. I highlight how becoming animals through narrative engagement and play reflects posthumanist theory in practice and fosters a child’s embodied knowledge of nature. The authors also discuss how posthumanist worldviews can be supported by embodied educational strategies that value animal play. They contend that philosophical change is essential if humanity is to survive the upcoming ecological and technological changes.

Information was obtained based on observations, experience, and a literature review from several journal literature. Philosophical studies can strengthen ontology related to the nature of constructivism-based science practicum, a science practicum that leads to constructing students' thinking so that knowledge, skills, and attitudes are increasing. Epistemologically (usefulness), constructivism-based science practicum can improve students' concepts and skills in understanding science concepts. Axiologically (Universal values) constructivism-based science practicum can be obtained from science practicum activities that shape scientific attitudes and behaviour in general.

Full text

Abstract:

This article explores the creative work of Hryhorii Savych Skovoroda from the standpoint of the leading trends in contemporary philosophic thought: a communicative turn in philosophy, neo-Socratic dialogue, and ethics of discourse. Skovoroda’s philosophy is interpreted not only in line with the ‘know yourself’ principle as a method of cognition, but, first of all, within the Socratic dialogue dimension when the methods of maieutics and elentics are used for joint searching for truth and solving moral problems. Skovoroda did not reduce philosophy to life, but he raised life to philosophy; philosophy itself was his life and in the first place, it was the practical philosophy of dialogue. Socratic dialogue appears in the practices of communication with people, in particular in the wandering habitus of the thinker. Wandering is an important element of his philosophy, his life, and his habitus. The wandering nature of Skovoroda’s habitus takes his dialogues beyond epistemology bringing the dialogue into a practical, or rather moral and practical plane. As an educator, Skovoroda draws on the Ukrainian culture habitus and practices and transcends this habitus and thus elevating it to the habitus of reason. This paper asserts the idea of the need and necessity to develop and to practice the neo-Skovoroda’s dialogue as a component of the global trend of dialogic civilization development.
