Igor Djokhadze. Richard Rorty as Historian of Philosophy

The article provides a critical analysis of Richard Rorty’s conception of prag­matic hermeneutics as a «playful experimentation» with literary and philosophical texts. The historian's task, according to Rorty, is not to recover the authentic me-aning of the original text, but to create some new meanings (i.e. «redescribe» the text). Rorty's interpretation of John Dewey’s philosophy in «The Consequences of Pragmatism» (1982) serves as an illustration of such a vulgar «historicism».

Keywords: historiography, rational and historical reconstruction, anach­ronism, hermeneutics, interpretation, redescription, historicism.

Irena Vdovina. Paul Ricoeur: A History of Philosophy as Self-Understanding of Philosophy

In exploring the question of the specificity of the history of philosophy P.Ricoeur discusses a number of issues, e.g. the problemof truth in the history and history of philosophy; the history of philosophy and sociology of know-ledge; history of philosophy and historical science; the role of researcher’s subjectivity in the historical and philosophical studies; specifics of philosophi­cal questioning. The very theoretical and practical work of P.Ricoeur became an answer to these questions, the work which constituted a significant phase in the modern philosophy and the history of philosophy.

Keywords: history of philosophy, sociology of knowledge, historical knowledge, objectivity, truth, skepticism, eclecticism, dialogue, the meaning of creativity.

Irina Blauberg. History of Philosophy and Philosophy of History in Conception of Henri Gouhier

The article deals with the theoretical works of the known French histo­rian of philosophy Henri Gouhier. He exposes dialectics of retrospection as a method of historical cognition, examines the problems of theory and me-thodology of historico-philosophical research. In his opinion, a truly historical approach, aimed at finding «lost time» – the time of described historical reality, is opposed to «philosophy of history» as a retrospective rationalization, which opens in the history of a plan or meaning.

Keywords: history, philosophy of history, history of philosophy, retro­spection, H.Gouhier, continuity and discontinuity.

Emilio Betti. Historical Interpretation

This is a Russian translation of the chapter on historical interpretation fromEmilio Betti’s «General Theory of Interpretation». The main distinctive feature of this particular kind of interpretation is, according to Betti, its ‘discerning’ character, its goal being the recognition of thoughts and ideas contained in the so-called representative sources as relative to a given period in history. The prob­lemwhich the interpreter has to deal with in this case is the discrepancy between thought and its representation in oral or written discourse. The specific criteria of historical interpretation also receive fromBetti a detailed treatment, as well as the application of the canons of hermeneutics to interpretative activity.

Keywords: hermeneutics, interpretation, representative form, historical question, Betti.

Vladimir Starovoitov. The Problem of I, Personality, Self in the Creative Work of Paul Ricoeur and in the Contemporary Psychological and Psychoanalytic Studies

The article reveals the specific character of the notions of I, Self, perso-nality in the creative work of Paul Ricoeur. It is shown that the entire succes­sive way of personal development, considered by the French philosopher, was based on the original assumption of the mature I, the presence of which very often is very problematic. It is stated, that the concept of «capable man», deve-loped by Paul Ricoeur, must be supplemented with the research of capabilities of rebirth and regrowth of I.

Keywords: I, personality, self, capable man, narrative identity.

Igor Mikhaylov. Husserl’s Early Philosophical Program. Metaphysics, Theory of Cognition

The mature formof Husserl’s philosophy, commonly referred to as «trans-cendental phenomenology» has very soon became a way of approaching philosophical problems, hardly compatible with other influential philosophical movements of the 20-th сentury. While the «contextualization» of Husserl’s phenomenology is frequently attempted through the idea of «rigorous science» or the «theory of meaning», the article presents an other way of showing the unity of Husser’s intentions with contemporary philosophy. Metaphysics is taken as model that gives the early Husserl both an idea of philosophy, its nature and scope and the structure of his further systematic investigations in logics and theory of cognition.

Keywords: Husserl, phenomenology, metaphysics, logics, science, epis­temology.
