Шпильрейн в формировании теоретического базиса аналитической психологии. Демонстрируется значимость ее научного вклада в развитие представлений К.Г. Юнга о комплексе, фило-и онтогенезе психики, психогенезе шизофрении, коллективном бессознательном и деструкции. Особый акцент делается на последние два момента. Кроме того, выявляются некоторые различия в понимании сущности феномена деструкции С.Н. Шпильрейн, К.Г. Юнгом и З. Фрейдом.

Every year interest to this work is only growing up, especially in the context of the development of cognitive sciences and technologies related to the development and implementation of artificial intelligence systems. However, both Kant’s contemporaries and subsequent generations of researchers had questions about the basic concepts, outlined in the first Critique. Nikolay Lossky became one of such outstanding experts in Kant’s philosophy, who carried out a metacritique of transcendental idealism. His analysis is interesting because it is characterized by consistency, depth and inclusiveness, despite the fact that he was not a supporter of Kant’s philosophy. The proposed article explicates the main points of the metacritique of pure reason carried out by Lossky. The aim is to systematize the ad...

In particular, two approaches are proposed. According to the first approach, the exceptional conceptuality of Kant’s theory of experience may be a consequence of absence of some important chains in arguments contained in the Critique of Pure Reason, which could clarify a question of how the conceptual apparatus of the subject corresponds to the reality. The author puts a hypothesis that the missing chains are not a mistake, but Kant’s deliberate silence caused by the lack of accurate scientific information that could not have been available to humankind in Enlightenment epoch. According to the second approach even if Kant’s theory of experience i...

Грота как концепции, нацеленной на решение проблемы психофизического параллелизма. Отдельное внимание автор уделяет влиянию идей Грота на формирование представлений К.Г. Юнга о либидо -универсальной психической энергии, в том числе объясняя, как оба мыслителя представляли себе превращение психической энергии в материальную силу посредством распространения идей. Ключевые слова: Н.Я. Грот, энергетизм, монодуализм, психофизический параллелизм, К.Г. Юнг, аналитическая психология Energetism of Nikolay Grot as a way to overcome metaphysical and methodological dualism. VAleNTiN V. BAlANOVSKiy (immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University) The article describes the key features of Nikolay grot's energetism as a concept aimed at solving the problem of psychophysical parallelism. The author pays special attention to the influence of grot's ideas on the analytical psychology of Carl gustav Jung, namely on his views of libido as universal psychic energy, explaining how both thinkers imagined the transformation of psychic energy into material force through the dissemination of ideas.

He examines the ethical aspect through the prism of Kant’s philosophy and outlines moral prospects of (quasi)intelligent robots. The author considers the legal aspect in context of normative regulation of risks that arise with a creating of AI systems. In conclusion the author makes an assumption on forthcoming transformation of a legal system because of a new type of legal acts that combine classical form of legal act and machine protocol. В статье затрагиваются этический и правовой аспекты развития систем искусственного интеллекта. Этический аспект автор рассматривает с позиций философии И. Канта и обрисовывает нравственные перспективы создания (квази)разумных роботов. Правовой аспект рассматривается в контексте нормативного регулирования рисков, возникающих при создании систем ИИ. В заключении делается предположение о грядущей перестройке правовой системы в связи с возникновением нового типа НПА, которы...

Spielrein. The author pays attention to the analysis of the prevailing stereotypes of perception of Spielrein in scientific literature. The reasons why Spielrein’s legacy was not properly claimed for a long time in the West and in Russia, despite the popularity of psychoanalysis after the October Revolution, are revealed. The hypothesis of why a one-sided view of Spielrein’s role in the history of psychology, characterized by hypertrophied attention to her personal relationship with C. G. Jung, has been put forward. The author shows how Spielrein influenced the development of key concepts of analytical psychology and how Jung assessed this influence, and analyzes her empirical justification of Jung’s theory of complexes. In addition, the author considers in the context of the later discoveries of an...

A bibliographic review precedes the main part, in order to show the prevailing bias towards the consideration of personal life and the subjective features of Spielrein’s creativity, and not her ideas. In the first part the author briefly considers Spielrein’s contribution to the empirical justification and further development of the complex theory and shows how her ideas are related to Jung's representations on the phylogenesis and ontogenesis of the psyche as a result of complex building-up and about the psychogenesis of schizophrenia. In particular, it is noted that Spielrein is the first one who clearly formulate a hypothesis, according to which our psyche a priori does not constitute anything integral, but is a combination of many complexes. In the second part the author focuses on th...

Kant’s transcendental reflection is an instrument inherent in our consciousness. Without this instrument, one would be unable to distinguish between representations/ fantasies and the reality; to have self-consciousness; to identify the functions of the human soul; to distinguish between the effects of the senses, the understanding, and reason within these functions, including identifying the a priori forms of the senses, the understanding, and reason; and to classify representations by the faculty of cognition to which they belong. This study aims to reconstruct the main features of Kant’s ideas of transcendental reflection and to define this notion through analysing the Critique of Pure Reason and the other fundamental works of Kant.

This article contains an attempt to demonstrate that on the example of how efficiently C.G. Jung used Kant’s ideas to construct the theoretical basis of analytical psychology in general and his conception of archetypes in particular, we can see the urgency of Kant’s heritage not only for his direct spiritual successors. In addition the question is discussed: why did Jung claim that epistemologically he took his stand on Kant?

This is a socio-philosophical conception, which created by Vysheslavtsev through the synthesizing of German classical philosophy, neo-Kantianism, Russian religious philosophy and analytical psychology. He developed the mass psychology in close collaboration with C.G. Jung by his direct order. The mass psychology, despite the heterogeneity of its foundations, became an organic continuation of analytical psychology. Moreover, there is reason to suppose that Vysheslavtsev's socio-philosophical and religious ideas influenced all of Jung’s later work. The main method used was a comparative analysis of the ideas of Vysheslavtsev and Jung, as well as a critical interpretation of the original sources, including unpublished archival materials — letters and manuscripts. The novelty lies in the fact that previously the mass psychology of Vysheslavtsev eluded the attention of researchers. This is primarily due to the ina...

Therefore, the article contains heuristic material, which can contribute in a resolving of such methodological task as searching of promising directions to improve philosophical and scientific psychology.To achieve the aim the author attempts to clarify an entity of Kant’s and Jung’s objections against even the possibility of scientific psychology and to find out ways to overcome those objections in Kant’s and Jung’s works. The main methods were explication, reconstruction and comparative analysis of Kant’s and Jung’s views.As a result it was found, that Kant and Jung allocated one and the same obstacles, which, on their opinion, prevent psychology to become a science in the strict sense. They are: 1) coincidence of subject and object in psychology; 2) impossibility to apply quantitative mat...

Основанием для сопоставления систем двух философов является их отношение к рефлексии-фундаментальнейшему когнитивному механизму. Если для Канта обретение достоверного знания невозможно без использования рефлексии (в том числе трансцендентальной), то Соловьёв строит свою теорию познания на совершенно иных основаниях, из-за чего вынужден полагаться в деле открытия истины на Бога и интеллектуальную интуицию. Только выяснив плюсы и минусы обеих гносеологий, можно определить, концепция какого из мыслителей в большей степени подходит для описания процесса постижения мира человеком, то есть существом, обладающим довольно скромным когнитивным инструментарием. This article seeks to compare Immanuel Kant's and Vladimir Solovyov's gnosiologies. The comparison is based on the philosophers' attitude to reflection-a basic cognitive mechanism. If, according to Kant, the acquisition of true knowledge is impossible without reflection (including transcendental reflection), Solovyov builds his theory of knowledge on entirely different grounds, therefore, he has to rely on God and intellectual intuition in discovering the truth. Only having established the pros and cons of both gnoseologies, we can define whose theory-Kant's or Solovyov's-is more suitable to describe the process of cognition by a human being-a being in possession of rather modest cognitive tools.
