The A.V. Smirnov’s Concept of Logic of Sense and Philosophy of Consciousness (Proceedings of the “Round Table”)

In February 2022, a “round table”was held to discuss the concept of the”logic of sense”, elaborated by A.V. Smirnov in a number of monographs and articles. The participants focused their attention on the following questions: • What are the implications of the thesis about the possibility of initially variable ways of sense-positing? • What philosophical conclusions are implied by non-universality of European reason and non-universality of philosophy in its European version? • What are the epistemological perspectives of logic of substance and logic of process? • Do we recognize the variability of the ability of judgment, i.e. variability of methods of subject-predicate linking, modifying Kant’s thesis postulating its invariance? • Is P-logic possible as an organon of probative thinking? • If all the big cultures are based on specific logics of sense-positing, will then the philosophical culturology and typology of big cultures be a study of consciousness in its variability and typological completeness? • Is a philosophical study of non-Western cultures indispensable to philosophy of consciousness? The discussion opened up prospects for further research on this issue. The round table proceedings are published below. © 2022, Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences.
