God from the machine 2.0: biblical narrative as a metalanguage for discussing machine ethics
Abstract
The article is devoted to theoretical models in which the biblical narrative becomes a means of conceptualizing the actions of technological objects. Based on the works of Russian and foreign philosophers, it is shown what the specifics of the discursive formulation of the problems of machine ethics, understood as a subject, are. The focus is not on the formulation of the problem of artificial intelligence ethics per se or the possibility of solving it, but on the very method of discursive formulation, or the way of talking about it, by incorporating biblical plots, motifs, and images as mechanisms for understanding this problem. The subject of the study is the heuristic potential of the biblical metanarrative in the structure of statements about artificial intelligence. It is demonstrated that the heuristic potential of the biblical metanarrative in the study of AI problems is related to the production of distinctions. It is revealed which new systems of basic distinctions can be constructed using this method of discursive design. It is shown what changes are observed in the discourse about algorithmic technologies. Possible reasons for the activation of biblical discourse in addressing the problems of artificial intelligence are identified.

Non-violent aspect of the problem of identity
Abstract
The work is devoted to understanding the new speculative-realist approach to the consideration of the non-violent aspect of the problem of identity. There is a close connection between the problem of identity and a broader one of its kind — the problem of identification. Particular attention is drawn to the epistemological principles of the new approach and how they relate to the very idea of identity. Based on a detailed consideration of these principles, the role and place of the principle of non-violence in solving the problem of identity is stated.
The process of formation and socio-cultural determination of identity in contemporary culture
Abstract
The article analyzes the phenomenon of identity, as well as the process of its formation, based on the initial intra-subjective stage of distinction. The typologization of identification components is described, based on the concept of the totality of sub-identities of the individual’s personality. The idea of the cyclic nature of the process of subjective identification is proposed.

The ambivalence of technogenic civilization’s axiological foundations
Abstract
The paper is devoted to identifying the specifics of civilizational dynamics of modernity through the theoretical reconstruction of Critical Theory, the key subject of which is the fundamental principles of Technogenic civilization. Based on the conceptual resources of the newest version of this research program, the ambivalence of the axiological foundations of Western culture and its foundation on the logic of domination-subordination is revealed on the example of the discourse and practice of tolerance. The heuristic potential of Critical Theory in the context of overcoming pathologies of modern civilization development is explicated in the article.
Escalation of armed violence: the problem of the limit
Abstract
The article, based on the mimetic model of military activity, examines the problem of the escalation of armed violence. The author identifies constructive mimesis, aimed at strengthening of social solidarity, and destructive mimesis, which can be regarded as a source of escalation of violence. For the classic of military theory Carl von Clausewitz the limit of violence acts as a speculative figure, but in the nuclear era the absolute maximum of violence received clear empirical contours. The article analyzes escalation ladders, the final step of which is the large-scale war using nuclear weapons. It is concluded that modern reflection on armed violence includes the phenomenon of the limit as its integral horizon; it is further connected with the search for tools for self-limitation of military activity.
"I" within measure
Abstract
Modernity provides us with a large number of technologies for self-identification. We meet them both in pseudoscientific discourse (for example: in astrology — natal charts, horoscopes), and scientific, in the field of psychology (classification of personalities by V. Stern, K.G. Jung, A.F. Lazursky, etc.). These technologies for self-identification, personality models are often misunderstood, being identified with the process of self-consciousness. The result of such identification is relativization of the image of the “I”, combination of various situational functions, social roles, character traits in the “I”. The author problematizes such an approach, in which the “I” is substatized, endowed with qualities, just as a thing is endowed with them; separates the concepts of “self-identification” and “self-consciousness”; raises questions related to the possibility of maintaining the continual unity of the “I”, with building the process of constituting the “I” through time. Unlike the procedure of self-identification, which can be modeled, self-consciousness cannot fit into patterns. Self-consciousness is plastic, changeable, rooted in time, but it always belongs to the same “I”.
War as a phenomenon and concept
Abstract
The article analyzes the phenomenon of war. Four orders of its essence stand out: socio-political phenomenon, continuation of politics, armed struggle, support by non-military means. Based on the classical work of K. Clausewitz and the Military Doctrine of the Russian Federation, eight invariant (unchanged and mandatory) signs of war are formulated. It is indicated that recently an alternative interpretation of war has become increasingly widespread, in which armed struggle is not its obligatory attribute. Its main premises, their theoretical failure and practically political counterproductiveness are revealed.

The problem of the political component of post-non-classical science and education
Abstract
The work is devoted to understanding the process of political involvement of modern science and the need for the post-non-classical scientific community to become a subject of political activity. In historical terms, we are talking about the actualization of F. Bacon’s ideas about the beneficial connection of a new science with power. Philosophical education can serve as a basis for the formation of appropriate political competencies among future scientists and engineers.
Scientific narrative as a factor of intensification of communicative relations of the «science — society» system
Abstract
The article offers an analysis of communicative interaction in the modern academic field — among individual researchers, research teams and groups in conditions of high competition against the background of exponential growth of publication activity and digitalization of communications both within the professional community and taking into account the strengthening and transparency of interactions with the public. The author puts forward a working hypothesis, according to which it is the narrative attribute in the representation of the results of scientific research that can contain a reserve for evolutionary success within the framework of the systemic nature of communication and have a high potential for the formation of stable links between subsystems of science and other public actors, such as non-professional external observers.
