Yula and anchor. Experience of alternative metaphysics. Sekatsky A.K.

The task of his new book, Alexander Sekatsky, a philosopher, laureate of the prize Andrei Bely, sees in the example of the most ordinary things to try to figure out how the human world as a whole is arranged.

Take anchor. If we consider it as a basic metaphor for thinking, then we can understand how the subject of thought is held in its self -identity. Another object suitable as an archetype of human being is Yula, a moving top. In this example, we can consider the most important differences between independence and “self-opposition”, which, among other things, allows you to comprehend the identity of the substance and the subject represented by Hegel in a new way.

In addition to the section of such “metaphysical portraits”, two more are presented in the book: in one, reading and text issues are affected, and the other is devoted to the problem of truth in the existential and historical way.
