Hjumova teorija društvene konstitucije sopstva

Hume distinguishes between the self of thought and imagination and the self of the passions. He is criticized for contradicting himself as he allegedly attributes fictitiousness to the self in book one of the Treatise but later reintroduces the self in books two and three. Hume’s account of the idea of the self, however, is not contradictory: he shows the impossibility of a pure associationist-empiricist account of the self. Instead, he proposes a social account of the constitution of the idea of the self and consciousness. In doing so, Hume’s account of the self anticipates social-historical theories of the self.Hjum razlikuje sopstvo misli i uobrazilje i sopstvo strasti. Kritikuje se jer protivreči sebi zbog toga što navodno pripisuje fiktivnost sopstvu u prvoj knjizi Rasprave, a kasnije ponovo uvodi sopstvo u drugoj i trećoj knjizi. Hjumovo razmatranje ideje sopstva, međutim, nije protivreč-no: on pokazuje nemogućnost čisto asocijaciono-empirističkog razmatranja sopstva. Umesto toga, predlaže društveno razmatranje konstitucije ideje sopstva i svesti. Čineći to, Hjumovo razmatranje sopstva anticipira društveno-istorijske teorije sopstva

The historical possibility and necessity of (Ilyenkov's) anti-innatism

WOS: 000423258500006An important aspect of Evald Ilyenkov's theory of social mind is anti-innatism. Anti-innatism is not only the necessary logical outcome of Ilyenkov's overall philosophical system and in particular of his anti-reductionism, but also it is a socio-historically possible and necessary consequence of the capitalist mode of production, which amounts to the formation of a gap between socially formed human knowledge and growth of the productive powers, on the one hand, and value-producing labour, on the other

" Word-Meaning " and the Conceptual Determination of Meaning and Reference *

International audienceMeaning, therefore, is not an association or a function of ostensive references. What makes ostension possible, that is, what makes the communication of the meaning of the pointing activity possible, is the social significance of the tools of activity that are available to society. What makes ostensive reference communicable is this conceptuality that manifests itself in the transformation of the contingency of the relation between the word and the phenomenon it denotes into the historical necessity of their relation

Evolving Concepts, Revolving Doors

WOS: 000358328700001The revolving door is a conceptual device. It was introduced to solve mainly technical problems such as the chimney effect; however, the scope of its application transcends the intentions of its inventor, Theophilius Van Kannel. The revolving door problematizes the relation between different segments of space. It fetishizes space by relativizing and, at same time, absolutizing the difference between inside and outside, and by determining the behavior of inhabitants of social space
