An assertion of the dependence of knowledge had the effect of strengthening relativistic tendencies in theories of knowledge. The idea of the active role of the cognitive subject in the production of knowledge conduced to the formation of a new epistemological program-"constructivism". According to this ap- proach, cognition is not a reflection of "external" reality in the mind of an individual, but a process of construction of reality. "Philosophy of symbolic forms" of Ernst Cassirer in this matter is considered to be the precursor of constructivist views. Human cognitive activity, in accordance with the pos- tulation of the paradigm of the symbolic, necessarily carries out symboliza- tion: perception and expression in all types of human activity function by creating symbolic systems. Nelson Goodman – prominent philosopher in the field of analytical philosophy, logician and aesthetician is well known for his radical relativistic and pluralist position. In the foreword of his "Ways of Worldmaking" Nelson Goodman underlines that first chapter of the book was read on the occasion of the anniversary of the birth of Ernst Cassirer, which for sure points to his dedication to ideas of famous neo-Kantian. N. Goodman's reception of Cassirer's philosophy of symbolic forms has evolved into the idea of world making and plurality of world versions. Fol- lowing Ernst Cassirer in his study of logical nature of symbolic forms and their interrelation, N. Goodman claims that the use of symbolic systems allows us to model various world versions in science and art. The study of symbol in the concept of N. Goodman opens up new opportunities for ana- lytical philosophy: a single principle of description, where art and science are equally integrated into the process of cognition. 3 Hanna Hnatovska Associate Professor, Department of History of Philosophy, Taras Shevchenko Kyiv National University (Kyiv, Ukraine) E-mail: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0001-9699-1037 PERIODIZATION OF THE HISTORY OF INDIAN PHILOSOPHY Monier-Williams in the Sanskrit-English Dictionary offers us the following terms to translate the word philosophy: दशन (darzana), अीिकी (anvIkSikI), तिवा (tattvavidyA), त (tattva), िवा (vidyA), तान (tattvajJAna) ान (jJAna), तक िवा (tarkavidyA), तक (tarka), शा (zAstra). On the one hand, we can assume that such a prominent number of similarly meaningful terms indicates only their approximate similarity to the Western notion of philoso- phy, and on the other hand, it is justified to assume that each of these terms reflects a certain aspect of the complex phenomenon of philosophizing in Indian culture and implies about its development and an important role. The basis of historical and philosophical research – the text of the primary source, which is a reflection of the event of philosophical crea- tion in the past, which meets the criteria of historicity. The specifics of Indian philosophical discourse encourages us to ignore the issue of chronology and dating, and focus on identifying key primary sources based on the genre of their content. We suggest to distinguish the following periods of Indian philosophy his- tory : 1) pre-philosophical (Vedas, Mahabharata, Manusmritita, etc.) – the formation of the philosophical culture of India; 2) the period of sutras (Nyayasutra, VaisheshikaSutra, etc.) – the nascence and development of the basics of each philosophical doctrine of India, the time of writing the pri- mary sources can not be clearly dated and the authorship can not be deter- mined; 3) period of comments, critical analysis and polemics ("Pramiana- samuccaya" Dignaga, "SarvaDarshanSangrah" Madhvacharya, etc.) – the feature of which is comparatively precise dating of writings and definition of authors, polemical and synthetic character of texts; 4) the period of the mod- ern development of Indian philosophy ("The Discovery of India", J.Nehru, "The Hindu View of Life" S.Radhakrishnan etc.) the main feature of which is the actualization of socio-ethical issues. 4 Amina Kkhelufi PhD student, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Kyiv, Ukraine) E-mail: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0001-6851-8285 THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN JOHN LOCKE AND PROTESTANT RELIGIOUS GROUPS Religion played a significant role in John Locke's personal life and his philosophical writings. This is confirmed by the fact that philosopher grew up in a Puritan family and got an education at a religious college of Christ Church. Moreover, he was renown Bible expert and interpreter of Scripture. In addition to that he witnessed various disputes and ideological confronta- tion of different branches of Christianity. Some contemporary Western philosophers study Locke's interactions with Protestants and how they influenced his philosophy. For example, Peter Anstey (The University of Sydney) states that philosopher's relationship with the Quakers was reflected on the structure of "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding". The author compared some theses about immediate inspi- ration used in the drafts and in "An Essay" and argued that all key features of the XIXth chapter on Enthusiasm of "An Essay" derive from the Quakers and Locke's critics of their conception [Anstey Peter. Locke, the Quakers and Enthusiasm. Intellectual History Review (2018): 1-19 pp.]. Victor Nuovo (Middlebury College) also claims that Locke paid much attention to religious themes. British philosopher stood for more tolerant church, a simplification of a religious ritualism and insisted on reducing the postulates of faith. The re- searcher points out that his views were similar to such liberal religious groups as English Latitudinarians and Dutch Remonstrants [Nuovo Victor. The Reasonableness of Christianity and A Paraphrase and Notes on the Epistles of St Paul. In M. Stuart (Ed.), A Companion to Locke. Chichester, West Sussex: Blackwell Publishing (2016): 486-502 pp.]. Deep analysis of the religious foundation of John Locke's philosophy will provide better understanding of his views and can help us to define the sta- tus of theology in Locke's philosophy,
