Author claims that Pascal proposes a way of constituting ontology which is fundamentally different from the Cartesian way that formed the basis of Modern philosophy. In particular, the author associates the "fiery" constitution of ontology in Pascal's philosophy with the existential preconditions for such constitution, the main of which are: 1) the revelation of the transcendent in human experience; 2) the inevitable awareness of man's limitations in relation to the transcendent; 3) the feeling of horror caused by the encounter with the fundamentally infinite transcendent, which cannot be exhaustively ontologically thematized. These premises explain, according to the author, the "fiery" nature of ontological thought in Pascal's philosophy as a direct antagonist to the "cold" thought of Cartesianism that is based on the assumption of the fundamental possibility of mental grasping and thematization of all existence.

The author considers Pascal's method of allegory to be perhaps the most important technique of philosophical reflection introduced in the «Pensées». Since, according to Pascal, man occupies a middle position in the world, unambiguity in human reasoning could indicate: (a) either man's equality with God; (b) man's lack of life choice and self-determination. That is why the first truths, the first principles of life, the first prophecies and insights can be expressed only in the form of opposites. The means of clashing opposites is allegory. The author traces the apophatic origins of Pascal's concept and analyses the main storylines of allegories in «Pensées», which primarily concern the themes of God, religion, human existence and, thus, human nature and the very first principles of human thought.

The article is devoted to the treatise "De natura logicae" written by the most prominent representative of the Padua school Giacomo Zabarella. Based on the analysis of the arguments presented in this treatise and the assessment of various researchers regarding the role of Zabarella in the history of logic, the author shows that it was in the Italian Aristotelianism of the sixteenth century that a "methodological breakthrough" to the Modern philosophy was first made, so this period should be considered as a special stage in the development of philosophy. The author argues that the Padua School opens the way for a new type of rationality and introduces a new ideal of reliable knowledge, which gives new opportunities to the mathematical sciences and questions the reliability of metaphysical knowledge. Zabarella's example also proves that the principles of empirical and rationalist methodologies were formed within the framework of a type of nominalism and the justification of the primacy of epistemological and methodological approaches.
这篇文章专门讨论帕多瓦学派最杰出的代表人物贾科莫-扎巴雷拉(Giacomo Zabarella)所写的论文 "De natura logicae"。根据对该论文中提出的论点的分析以及不同研究者对扎巴雷拉在逻辑学史上的作用的评价,作者指出,正是在十六世纪的意大利亚里士多德主义中首次实现了对现代哲学的 "方法论突破",因此这一时期应被视为哲学发展的一个特殊阶段。作者认为,帕多瓦学派为新型理性开辟了道路,并提出了可靠知识的新理想,这给数学科学带来了新的机遇,并对形而上学知识的可靠性提出了质疑。扎巴雷拉的例子还证明,经验主义和理性主义方法论的原则是在一种唯名论的框架内形成的,并证明了认识论和方法论方法的首要性。

The possibility of a new interpretation of Descartes is determined by his epistolary legacy and scientific texts. The author analyses Descartes' correspondence with Princess Elizabeth, in particular the concept of substantial union, which does not fit into the «conventional» paradigm of understanding Descartes as a dualist and mechanist. The article is partly based on the work of Daniel Garber. The author focuses on two aspects. Firstly, the refusal of interpretation of the mind-body interaction in terms of the law of conservation. Secondly, ontological characteristics are assigned to this interaction. These aspects, in the author's opinion, are the basis for postulation the virtue of Cartesian thinking. After all, it not only breaks with the rationalism of the time, realising its limits and dead ends, but also lays the foundations for the concept of corporeality developed later in the phenomenological tradition.

The author of the article aims to prove the thesis that it was the " lyubomudry" who were the first to formulate the Russia-Europe opposition at the categorical, historiosophical level, which is still fundamental to understanding Russian identification. The author notes that the desire to separate from the European past is turning into a clear trend, the reasons for which lie not only in the realm of ideology (we are not Europe, so there can be no parallels), but also in the realm of mass consciousness, brought up on the legendary history of Russia and marked by excessive xenophobia. The «West» is understood as the mythology of the West, and mythologisation is the ground on which the currents of Russian thought unite and is an integral feature of the "Russian idea", i.e. the attempt to civilise Russians. The lyubomudry succeeded in instilling German philosophy in Russian thought.

The author examines the epistemological project of analytic philosophy, which went through stages of transformation marked by the influence of Frege and Russell. The article emphasizes the main points of the first stage of analytic philosophy, during which the sphere of experience merged with language. The next stage defines a new subject - Wittgenstein's "language subject". According to the author, this subject of speech makes decisions about the sense or absurdity of sentences based on logical form and belongs to the transcendental subject of speech in general. But in the end, the epistemological project of analytic philosophy moved to new directions in which questions about experience lost their relevance.
