REFLECTIONS ON THE ARTICLE BY D. FEDCHUK
«SCHOLASTIC DISTINCTION IN FINITE BEING AND ONTOLOGICAL DIFFERENCE»

Abstract
The paper contains few reflections based on the Dmitry Fedchuk's article published in the volume 2 (2) 2013 of “Horizon. Studies in Phenomenology” under the title “Scholastic Distinction in Finite Being and Ontological Difference”. The Fedchuk's theses that the entity but not the being as such has to be the proper subject of ontology and that the Heidegger's attempt to express by the notions the sense of the being as such was unsuccessful are seconded here. Two points of Fedchuk's view of Heidegger's failure are emphasized also, namely, Heidegger's abstractions of pure being from entities by the ontological difference as well as his reduction of the being to its giveness in the human understanding (Heidegger's idealism). But it is pointed also that Fedchuk's argumentation in his attack on Heidegger isn't always sufficient. For example Fedchuk don't notice that Heidegger believes that the being is always the being of entities and therefore his fundamental ontology should lead to the building of so-called metontology.

Key words
Essence, existence, being, entity, ontological difference, fundamental ontology, metontology, scholasticism, idealism, Duns Scotus, Francisco Suбrez, Martin Heidegger, Dmitry Fedchuk.

AN INTERVIEW WITH PROF. JAROSLAV ANATOL'EVICH SLININ
(St. Petersburg State University, 12th September 2013)

Abstract
This is the text of an interview given by professor of department of logic of the philosophical faculty St. Petersburg State University Yaroslav A. Slinin to Natalia Artemenko and Andrei Patkul. Prof. Slinin talks about the genesis of his philosophical views, in particular, about his way into phenomenology. His recollections of the phenomenological community in the former Leningrad is of very interest in the context of Soviet philosophy’s historiography. It ought to remarked that the course under the titled «Phenomenology and Logic» delivered by Prof. Slinin since 1970 brought to bear overwhelming influence on the shaping of today’s philosophical community in St. Petersburg. Hence, the problems of correlation between phenomenology and logic are discussed in this interview. Prof. Slinin points that the problematic of logic is the confluence point of phenomenology and analytical philosophy, which deal with the same problems but by different methods and in different attitudes. The main distinction points between these two philosophical trends are, on the one hand, that phenomenology has a metaphysical background, which is denied by representatives of classical analytical philosophy, and on the other hand, that phenomenologists as distinguished from analytical philosophers accept the intellectual intuition of essences. Prof. Slinin states with regard to correlation between phenomenology and contemporary cognitive sciences that the Husserl’s distinction of transcendental and natural attitudes is very important up to now. He gives his own interpretation of Husserl’s doctrine of reduction in this context. Prof. Slinin tries to show also that Heidegger describes by ontological terms the same phenomena which are described by Husserl in transcendental terms. As conclusion, Prof. Slinin talk about his other non-phenomenological interests in philosophy, namely, about ancient philosophy (particularly, patristic, early modern and Russian philosophy.

PAUL RICŒUR
THE RULE OF METAPHOR. STUDY 8. METAPHOR AND PHILOSOPHICAL DISCOURSE
Continuation

Abstract
The second part of the chapter eight of the “Rule of Metaphor” deals with further philosophical implications of the metaphor. Ricoeur dissipates any suspicion of complicity between the metaphorical and metaphysical. He shows that it is due to a wrong understanding of the metaphor as embedded in nomination, while its proper place, as Ricoeur insists, is in discourse. The living metaphor is a principle animating thought and inciting it “to think more”. The very relationship between thought and poetry, between speculative and metaphorical discourses proves to be a dynamic process based on the dialectics between the poetical experience of belonging and the speculative power of distancing.

Key words
Metaphor, literal and figurative, speculative discourse, lexicalization, resemblance, reference.

NAM-IN LEE
PRACTICAL INTENTIONALITY AND TRANSCENDENTAL PHENOMENOLOGY AS A PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY

Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of practical intentionality in the transcendental phenomenology of Husserl. Firstly, through the analysis of a passage found in “Logical Investigations”, the author will show Husserl's earlier position with respect to the problem of practical intentionality. He will then go on to critically assess this position and, with reference to some of Husserl's works written after the 1920's, prove that every intentionality should be regarded as practical intentionality. Correspondingly, transcendental phenomenology should also be characterized as practical philosophy. The author makes this statement with the following two senses in mind; transcendental phenomenology is practical philosophy, firstly, in the sense that it investigates various forms of practical intentionality and, secondly, in the sense that transcendental intentionality as the grounding source of transcendental phenomenology is also a kind of practical intentionality.

Key words
Practical intentionality, transcendental phenomenology, Husserl, practical philosophy, experience, perception, intentional experience, stream of consciousness.
