Answers to questions being asked require the pursuit of knowledge and truth. The love for wisdom begins with reflecting on the nature and essence of man, human destiny, on rational socio-political order. Wisdom which is based on morals lets an individual to define his life stance. Philosophy arose in the 7th-5th century BC in India, China, and Greece, i.e. almost simultaneously in different civilisations and at such level of the development of society which was characterised by the division of intellectual and manual labour. During this period, we see the completion of the transformation of the tribal system into the slave-owning system and the transition from myth to logos society’s intellectual life. Society has already accrued positive knowledge and now develops the need for systemisation, consolidation of and rational reflection on the acquired knowledge. At early stages, philosophy was seen as the “science of sciences” and incorporated all knowledge about the world accumulated by humans. It developed as natural philosophy (philosophy of nature). As philosophical knowledge continued to develop, the structure of the “mother of all sciences” becomes more complex with new branches developing within it: ontology (the study of being) is followed by epistemology (the study of knowledge); methodology (the study of the methods of acquiring knowledge); philosophical anthropology (the study of humans); ethics; aesthetics, as well as by the study of society, government and state. In other words, philosophy is historic in itself, it is developing, growing and becoming more sophisticated; the subject of philosophical study and methods of knowledge and cognition are becoming broader and deeper, and the function and purpose of philosophy more complex. The functions of philosophy which deal with worldviews and belief systems, ontology, epistemology, and axiology serve as its main functions. The human nature is such that, in addition to actual, positive knowledge of the world, man aspires to acquire insight into the nature of things and phenomena. No science other than philosophy poses the essential questions of being and gives answers to these questions: what is truth, life and death, good and evil, finiteness and infinity of the world, what is human destiny. Concrete or general scientific knowledge is not sufficient to answer these questions. Someone who perceives the reality only through the prism of his area of expertise risks finding himself in a situation when the meaning of being disappears and “the time is out of joint” (Hamlet). Since its inception, philosophy has sought to provide a generalised and systematised perception and understanding of the world. By way of explaining what this world is, philosophy relied on sense perception and reason, the system of values and beliefs. Worldview is the combination of sense and reason, the axiological system of man’s attitude to the world. Worldview may be prescientific, unscientific, nonscientific, extrascientific, and scientific, it may be passive observational and active. Conventionally, we distinguish three worldview types: the mythological, religious and philosophical. The mythological worldview (mythos – a traditional story, tale) involves man’s ideas, emotionally expressive and imaginative in their form, about the creation of the world from chaos, the origin of man and the stages of his life, about heroes, spirits, gods, and the forces of nature. Religious worldview (religiō – piety, sanctity) is based on the belief in the existence of supernatural forces that determine human life. Philosophical worldview is rational perception of the world and man’s place in it. This type of worldview is determined by the fact that philosophy synthesises, consolidates and classifies the knowledge obtained by other sciences and, at the same time, gives an assessment to all that exists being guided by the scale of universal values and ideas of humanism. It builds a system of humanistic values helping humans become human. Worldview structure comprises Weltanschauung, world perception, attitude, perspective, vision, outlook, a system of values, ideals, i.e. the dream of a perfect arrangement of society and order of life. Any worldview is based on conviction, a firm and established system of beliefs and ideals, i.e. knowledge multiplied by the confidence in one’s rightness. The system of man in the world, which is the subject of philosophy, is constantly changing and developing. The conditions of existence, the means and purpose of knowledge and the transformation of reality are becoming more sophisticated. All of this requires more systemic approaches toward and a more advanced organisation of knowledge, the cognitive process and actions of humans. Accordingly, philosophical knowledge is also changing, expanding and becoming more detailed and profound. Philosophy is not only a science, but also a form of public consciousness and theoretical basis for worldview. Its central question is the question of relation between being and consciousness which has two facets: 1) ontological: what comes first – matter or consciousness; and 2) epistemological: are we capable of knowing this world. By answering these questions, philosophers are divided into materialists and idealists; and, in terms of epistemology, into optimists, skeptics and agnostics. The entire history of classical

  • Bajo El Signo Del Escorpión
    Por Juri Lina Bajo el Signo del Escorpión pg. 1 de 360 - 27 de septiembre de 2008 Por Juri Lina pg. 2 de 360 - 27 de septiembre de 2008 Por Juri Lina PRESENTACION Juri Lina's Book "Under the Sign of the Scorpion" is a tremendously important book, self-published in the English language in Sweden by the courageous author. Jüri Lina, has been banned through out the U.S.A. and Canada. Publishers and bookstores alike are so frightened by the subject matter they shrink away and hide. But now, braving government disapproval and persecution by groups that do not want the documented information in Under the Sign of the Scorpion to see the light of day, Texe Marrs and Power of Prophecy are pleased to offer Mr. Lina's outstanding book. Lina's book reveals what the secret societies and the authorities are desperate to keep hidden—how Jewish Illuminati revolutionaries in the United States, Britain, and Germany—including Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin—conspired to overthrow the Czar of Russia. It details also how these monsters succeeded in bringing the bloody reign of Illuministic Communism to the Soviet Empire and to half the world's population. Under the Sign of the Scorpion reveals the whole, sinister, previously untold story of how a tiny band of Masonic Jewish thugs inspired by Satan, funded by Illuminati bigwigs, and emboldened by their Talmudic hatred were able to starve, bludgeon, imprison and massacre over 30 million human victims with millions more suffering in Soviet Gulag concentration camps. Fuhrer Adolf Hitler got his idea for Nazi concentration camps from these same Bolshevik Communist butchers.

  • Making the Soviet Intelligentsia: Universities and Intellectual Life Under Stalin and Khrushchev
    MAKING THE SOVIET INTELLIGENTSIA Making the Soviet Intelligentsia explores the formation of educated elites in Russian and Ukrainian universities during the early Cold War. In the postwar period, universities emerged as training grounds for the military-industrial complex, showcases of Soviet cultural and economic accomplishments, and valued tools in international cultural diplomacy. However, these fêted Soviet institutions also generated conflicts about the place of intellectuals and higher learning under socialism. Disruptive party initiatives in higher education – from the xenophobia and anti- Semitic campaigns of late Stalinism to the rewriting of history and the opening of the USSR to the outside world under Khrushchev – encour- aged students and professors to interpret their commitments as intellec- tuals in the Soviet system in varied and sometimes contradictory ways. In the process, the social construct of intelligentsia took on divisive social, political, and national meanings for educated society in the postwar Soviet state. benjamin tromly is Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Puget Sound, where he teaches Modern European History. new studies in european history Edited by peter baldwin, University of California, Los Angeles christopher clark, University of Cambridge james b. collins, Georgetown University mia rodrı´guez-salgado, London School of Economics and Political Science lyndal roper, University of Oxford timothy snyder, Yale University The aim of this series in early modern and modern European history is to publish outstanding works of research, addressed to important themes across a wide geo- graphical range, from southern and central Europe, to Scandinavia and Russia, from the time of the Renaissance to the present.
