ONTOTHEOLOGICAL PROBLEM IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF ERIUGENA AND FICHTE

Abstract.

The authors offer to include the thought of Johannes Scottus Eriugena’s (c. 810 – c. 877) in the broad context of the traditional metaphysical consideration and understand it as the unity of reflexive panentheism (God is in everything, but not everything is God) and Christian theism. The Irish monk’s ideas of were based on Neoplatonism, which prevailed in Byzantine meditative theology, subject to the tasks of the medieval paradigm of knowledge. In this regard, the «division of nature» of Eriugena’s appears to be ontotheology, on the basis of which he drew out the original religious and philosophical teaching. Essential features of scholasticism, finally established in the XII–XIII centuries, were inherent in his speculations. At the same time, there are speculative moments in it, anticipating and linking Eriugena with German classical philosophy, with Fichte’s idealism, in particular. Critical Fichte’s real idealism is a kind of transcendental ontotheology, based on the egological structures and problems of synthetic a priori judgments. Comparative, concrete historical, typological and textual analytic methods of research were applied to provide a scientific evaluation of the Eriugena’s and Fichte’s philosophical thought. It was found that ontotheology and Eriugena’s panentheism, as its constructive principle, and his teaching on the division of Nature, or God, are comparable with the concepts of Fichte’s egology and German idealism in whole, which preached salvation exclusively in consciousness and through consciousness. 

Keywords:

RATIONALITY AND NON-CLASSICAL LOGIC

Yashin Boris L.

Abstract.

The article deals with the problem of understanding rationality at the present stage of the development of philosophy, science and education and its connection with the logic of thinking. It is noted that this connection is most often associated with the basic laws of traditional (classical) logic, with which scientific rationality is often identified. Different interpretations of rationality in foreign and domestic literature are compared. It is shown that the phenomenon of scientific rationality is not reducible to the logical only, but rationality itself is multifaceted. It is substantiated that the basis of rationality can be not only classical, but also non-classical logics, in particular, various variants of paraconsistent logic, as well as epistemic or temporal and relevant logic, logic with strict  implication, the logic of change. The essence of some of these nonclassical logics, their features, possibilities of use in natural and social sciences, education, in quantum mechanics, in probabilistic and inductive reasoning, in the theory of fuzzy concepts, in information retrieval systems are revealed. It is suggested that the search for an answer to the question of the relationship between paraconsistent logic and rational thinking can be productive for the ongoing development of the concept of modern understanding of rationality and philosophy of education.

Keywords:

temporal logic, classical rationality, the traditional (classical) logic, logic of change, non-classical logic, scientific rationality, nonclassical rationality, paraconsistent logic, relevant logic, philosophy of education.

Gavrilova Olga Ya.

Abstract.

The purpose of the research presented in the article is to determine the possibility of changing the success of solving problems of a convergent type by adolescents by varying the external motivational setting. By convergent problems we understand ones that have only one correct solvation. The study used two types of problems: aimed at the abstractlogical thinking and aimed at the spatial thinking. The article discusses the results of an empirical study of the success of solving convergent problems by adolescents in the context of three different motivational attitudes: neutral, competitive in the context of a personal victory and the victory of their group, held in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in 2017 on the basis of the International Research School as part of the psychology project. The main method of the study was an experiment. In the course of analyzing the results obtained, a statistically significant increase in the success of solving problems in the conditions of competition was found for one’s own victory.

FEATURES OF THE VISIBLE PERCEPTION OF CYBERACTIVE USERS

Tolstova Olga I.

Abstract.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the features of visual perception of cyberactive users aged 18 to 22 years. We consider the characteristic features of the basic needs of users, carried out with the help of visual perception and implemented in the virtual space. According to the purpose of this work, the respondents were divided into two groups depending on their Internet cyberactivity. The experimental group is represented by cyberactive students who have been using the Internet resources for 5 to 6 hours a day and with the experience of 7 to 10 years. The control group features less cyberactive students with the experience from 3 to 8 years and using the Internet from 2 to 4 hours a day. To achieve the goal there were used the methods that study the effective indicators of visual perceptive activity: the volume of perception of senseless and meaningful material; accuracy, speed, perceptual performance, as well as observability. On the basis of the study results the impact of cyberactivity on the visual perceptual activity of users of 18 to 22 years is established. Significant difference between cyberactive and less cyberactive students has been revealed in terms of the volume of perception of meaningless material.

PECULIARITY OF ERIUGENIAN PHILOSOPHICAL DOCTRINE

Abstract.

This article considers the phenomenon of the philosophy of John Scottus Eriugena’s (c. 800 – c. 877). Comparative, concrete historical, typological, and systematic textual analytic methods of research were applied to understand and provide a scientific evaluation of the events and facts that triggered Eriugena’s philosophical choices in respect to the medieval thought. Ideas of the Irish monk were rooted in Neoplatonism, which prevailed in the Byzantine meditative theology, and in the language of Hermeneutics’, subordinated to the tasks of contemplating things in the context of the medieval paradigm of knowledge. It was found that the “idealism” of Eriugena’s as a constructive principle in his theological reasoning and in his teachings on the division of Nature, or God, is more relevant to Hegel and German idealistic tradition than to Berkeley’s immaterialism.

Kashcheyeva Anna V.

Abstract.

The education reform going on at present and the changing requirements to the second language skills at secondary and tertiary levels as well as the changing approaches to the role of writing in the second language learning have stipulated the choice of topic. The article aims to analyze the transformation of approaches to the second language writing that have occurred for the past 50–60 years in the national and foreign methodology; and to reveal the practical potential that the modern research areas on the second language writing have. The article views different approaches to the second language writing from the perspective of the role of writing in the educational process; the constraints academic environment lays to the process of writing; the stages and mental mechanisms of writing; the transfer of composition skills from the mother tongue; pedagogical implications the components of models of writing have.

The national methodology develops the traditional approach to writing as a productive communicative activity and takes into consideration the needs of modern second language users. In spite of the existing variety of modern research areas, academic writing studies remain the most discussed trend.

The polycutural situation that is formed in the Republics of the Russian Federation demands to organize primary school education about foreign languages in the context of polylogue of linguocultures and to update the content of training. Traditionally defined components of education in such conditions are not fully sufficient. It is necessary to highlight the multicultural aspect which being its integral part is at the same time marking the contents of each component. The main purpose of the contents of teaching foreign languages in the polylingual and multicultural conditions is that it should be sufficient to lay the foundations of communicative and intercultural competence of primary school students and to develop their ability and willingness to participate in the polylogue of cultures.  The multicultural aspect of the content of foreign languages education is considered as a set of skills developed for cultural observation, as well as culturological and linguocultural skills and experiences of the cultures of the target language country, Russia and the Republic, which is home to a primary school student, allowing him/her to build their verbal and nonverbal behavior with their foreign peers, and thus forming the status as the subject of the native cultures. The multicultural aspect includes three groups of skills and experiences. The first group (A) includes the skills of cultural observation and cross-cultural knowledge. The second Group (B) is constituted by proper cultural skills and experiences. In the third group (C) we deal with the linguoculturological skills to use names of countries, cities, holidays, and other specific words that form the Russian and world vocabulary, as well as linguoculturological experiences in the oral or written communication. The main purpose of the multicultural aspect is to introduce students to the culture of the target language country, to help them better understand the culture of their own country and their Republic, to develop their ability to see common and different in various cultures, as well as form the skills in written and oral communication to present their own culture by means of foreign language.

Keywords:

polylogue of linguocultures, the polycultural language education, polycultural aspect of the content of training, cultureoriented ability for the communication in a foreign language, cultural universal.

FORMATION OF DIDACTIC COMPETENCE OF FUTURE TEACHERS OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES WITHIN THE SYSTEM-SITUATIONAL APPROACH

Goncharuk Olga V.

Abstract.

It is necessary to make the essence of the notion of the “didactic competence” specific and to substantiate the necessity to develop the indicators of this competence maturity. It is also necessary to work out a list of criteria that specify some aspects of achievement, levels or standards while assessing the maturity of the students’ didactic competence. This supposed assessment is backed with the defining of the students’ professional traits that are to be developed in the process of university education. Clear assessment criteria are to be known and understood by students and teachers in advance. Such criteria may become the background of the situational tasks work out based on the system-situational approach. However, it is not only the students’ knowledge that is to be assessed, but also their professional experience as a component of thedidactic competence. The system-situational approach complements the activity approach to the formation of the methodological competence of future teachers of foreign languages, developed by G. V . Rogova.

Keywords:

theory of language teaching, approaches, methodological competence, active learning methods, criteria-based assessment, indicator.

Nikolaeva Natalja N., Matorina Irina N.

Abstract.

The paper discusses the authors’ experience in applying interactive training methods in teaching professionally-oriented English to those students who do not major in linguistics at BMSTU.

OVERCOMING OF CROSS-LANGUAGE INTERFERENCE OF ENGLISH AS L1 IN THE PROGRAMS OF SPANISH AS L2: A STUDY OF SPANISH FUTURE TENSES

Ivanova Tatiana S.

Abstract.

This paper aims to develop a discrete system of exercises to overcome crosslanguage interference of English as L1 with Spanish as L2. In the process of our study, we employ the linguistic and methodological analysis which shows the zones of the crosslanguage interference that require special attention, as well as zones of the positive transfer. It is concluded that in order to acquire efficient language skills, the teacher of Spanish as L2 should take into account the lexicogrammatical structure of the English language as a source of the positive transfer and cross-language interference. We also prove the necessity of basing on the authentic Spanish materials.

linguistic interference, positive transfer, Spanish future tenses, Spanish as a second foreign language (L2), lexicogrammatical structure of a language.
