COLLECTIVE MONOGRAPHS DEVOTED TO

PROBLEMS OF MODERN PHILOSOPHY

 

Since 2010, the department has started holding conferences and publishing a series of collective monographs on the problems of modern philosophy, which were attended by many well-known researchers and philosophers of the CIS and other foreign countries.

 

1. MODERN PHILOSOPHY AND AZERBAIJAN: HISTORY, THEORY, EDUCATION (2011)

https://www.academia.edu/100088954/Müasir_fəlsəfə_və_Azərbaycan

In 2011, the department of “Problems of Modern Philosophy” chose a research topic formulated by the question: “What philosophy does modern Azerbaijan need?”. It was assumed that the discussion of the issue with the involvement of cultural heritage would contribute to the formulation of possible answers in the context of globalization and transition processes that began after Azerbaijan gained independence.

The concretized program looked as follows: to describe the influence of the main geopolitical factor (globalization) on the course of world processes as a whole and on the change in the development scenarios of a particular country, expressed in its socio-cultural development models.

We believed that it is in this context that the national cultural heritage either opposes, or, with a successful interpretative model of culture, contributes to the sustainable consolidation of society and the progressive development of the country. In terms of methodology, it was necessary to pay attention to the general state of spiritual and cultural searches, united at the level of worldview by the concepts of postmodernism and postnonclassical epistemology.

 

2. Modern Philosophy, Science and Culture: Post-non-classical Epistemology (2011)

https://www.academia.edu/100089454/Muasir_felsefe_elm_medeniyyet_postqreyri_klassik_epistomologiya

In this regard, the second monograph became the first experience of systematic research in Azerbaijan of the problems of post-non-classical philosophy, its refraction and interaction with science and culture in general, with the practical realities of the modern Azerbaijani state and society. At the same time, those areas of research in Azerbaijan were identified in which this epistemology has already been applied, or could be applied in the near future.

The object of close attention was modern education in the republic, designed to reform the teaching system by mastering new post-non-classical technologies, taking as a basis the main social capital of modernity: man + education. It was necessary to construct a general consistent paradigm of the development and interrelation of classical, non-classical and post-non-classical cognition, to develop a methodology and methodology for mastering the key points of this system in philosophy and in individual sciences. The most important task was considered to be the introduction of post-non-classical views and methods into the practice of studying modern Azerbaijani society, culture and value system, as well as the formation of an applied post-non-classical philosophy of management (society, state, economy, culture, intellectual resources).

 

3. National Strategies, ideologies and International Relations: History, theory and modern practices (2012)

https://www.academia.edu/100089345/Milli_strategiyalar_ideologiyalar_ve_beynelxalq_munasibetler_tarix_nezeriyye_ve_muasir_praktikalar

The third monograph investigated the formation of the ideological foundations of the national identity of the Azerbaijani people, its national idea, national ideology, their practical implementation in the national development strategy. At the first stage of the transformation of peoples into nations, the distinctive feature of the social essence of a person was ethnic identification, and, according to the decreasing bar of significance, confessional, linguistic and class affiliation. In the process of transition from national-ethnic to national identification, perhaps only one has remained essential, and even then not in all states and societies, identification is linguistic. The consolidated community of all these units produced a new concept – the nation – whose difference from the concept of the people is obviously contained in the opposition of ethnic and political differences.

The development of national ideas, ideologies, strategies of post-Soviet states and societies encountered at least two obstacles. These states and their societies, due to historical realities, were deprived of the experience of Western countries, for example, the vicissitudes of continuous independent development. The second is the change of the mover of the world process, which was played by globalization, which complicated the course of the already difficult transition period from totalitarianism to democracy.

It would seem that it is enough, having cast aside all doubts, to choose the Western path of development, stepping from the ethnic world into the national world. But this was hindered both by the changed political climate of the world order and by the inability to meaningfully experience “in mind” the real historical transition from people to nation. Confirmation of this conclusion was the collapse of attempts to implement such a transition in practice in the early years of independence, when national democratic regimes almost throughout the post-Soviet space were removed from power.

Attention was paid to the problem of the essence of the term “nation” and the reality behind it. Is the nation just a convenient construction or is it a real historical phenomenon that is extremely in demand in modern society?

 

4. SOCIETY, RELIGION, STATE (2013)

https://www.academia.edu/100180846/Society_Religion_State_2013

The fourth monograph focused on the multifaceted problems of religion. In the second half of the last century, when a process began in developed Western countries, later designated F. By Fukuyama’s “Great Break”, one of the values of the social structure – the institution of religion – began to be permanently ostracized again. Sociologists and philosophers, both Soviet and Western, saw a real trend towards the gradual death of the institution of religion, and then faith in God, since the development of science promised at that time the speedy discovery of the last secrets of the universe on materialistic foundations.

The forecast turned out to be untenable: in post-Soviet states and societies, a complex process of incorporation of the institute of religion into the fabric of society has started. The revival of faith took place with pronounced religious illiteracy not only of ordinary citizens, but also of religious hierarchs – sowers of “everyday Islam”. And at that time, the global revival of religion was accompanied (and, in part, determined) by two trends: firstly, the enrichment of scientific knowledge with socio-cultural and spiritual-ethical components previously ignored, and secondly, the strengthening of the role of Islam in the political sphere not only of Muslim countries, but also of the whole world. This growing trend reached its next peak in September 2001, giving rise to an endless interest in Islam and deep phobias towards everything Muslim, which is considered the basis of modern fundamentalism.

Studies have shown that, in general, the development of world Islam has not yet completed its political and economic transformation, but this process has come close to a critical “bifurcation” point, after which much more acute consequences are expected than those caused by the previous “bifurcation stop” of Islam in the late XIX – XX centuries. During that period, Islam survived its Enlightenment era, became interested in modernization projects calling for “catching up” with the West. The current development of Islam, which jumps through entire stages of historical development and experience, requires its own identification. It is necessary to find out: why do some Muslim countries make attempts to respond to changes in the world with some reforms, others, on the contrary, completely reject them, while others are in a state of confusion, preferring not to discuss world development? Why does the panorama of the Muslim world demonstrate extremely contradictory trends: from timid steps towards the path of democratization to colossal outbursts of radical attitudes?

 

5. Modern philosophy: the latest directions of cognition (2014)

https://www.academia.edu/100088616/idrak

The fifth monograph includes articles on post-non-classical epistemology of a review, popular science and educational nature, addressed mainly to the Azerbaijani reader. This partly allowed us to find out the extent of the introduction of post-non-classical epistemology into domestic research.

 

6. Culture of the era of post-non-classical epistemology and postmodernism (2015)

https://www.academia.edu/100089160/AZ%C6%8FRBAYCAN_CULTURE_THE_EPOCH_OF_POST_NEOCLASSICS_AND_POSTMODERNISM

The sixth monograph investigated the problems of modern culture, faced with the unique attitudes of post-neoclassicism and postmodernism of the era of globalization. During this period, such contradictory concepts as postmodernism itself, the convergence of sciences, postnonclassics, synergetic and socio-cultural approaches, the results of the information revolution, etc., were introduced into cognition, integrally introducing relativism, indeterminism, nonlinear topological, network and non-local methodology into the models of the development of modern culture. Of natural interest were the systemic foundations of the nature and specifics of the national tradition, adapting the impact of an external cultural challenge. An attempt was made to systematize the features of national traditions in order to identify their potential “answers” to the challenges and risks of globalization.

As a result, the conclusion was formulated: the study of all the identified problems must be carried out within the framework of the emerging new cultural tradition, signaling the next “bifurcation point”, after which the transition of humanity to a new spiritual and cognitive state should begin. The “catching up” post-Soviet countries will have to go a longer way, connected with the need to eliminate outdated stereotypes of national cultural tradition, enrich it with the experience of world and their own independent development.

 

7. The Philosophy of Geopolitics and the modern world order: epistemology of the post-non-classical period (2016).

https://www.academia.edu/100180909/Geo_fəlsəfə_2016

The seventh monograph investigated the problems of geopolitics and the modern world order by means of post-non-classical epistemology.

The state of philosophy, in general, of cognition at the beginning of the XXI century definitely resembled the situation at the beginning of the last century, when the formation of the ideas of quantum mechanics and relativity theory, overcoming the restrictive framework of classical cognition, opened the way to a new, non-classical stage of its development. A number of new directions of cognition, formed from the middle to the end of the last century, laid the foundations of the third, post-classical stage in the tradition of cognition, significantly (if not radically) changing the seemingly well-established categories, ideas, axioms, theories, concepts, paradigms and concepts of not only classics, but also non-classics. The ideas of synergetics, complexity, interdisciplinarity, universal evolutionism and a number of others, having destroyed the foundation of classicism, contributed to the formation of a fundamentally different – postmodern worldview, denying the very possibility of erecting a building of knowledge on any foundation, as if driving the 2500-year history of philosophy into a dead end. Is this really the case? Are we really seeing off the philosophy of “the last way”? What can replace the bright image of the “dear dead” for us? The presented series of monographs was also conceived as an attempt to determine the current situation, naturally not pretending to utter absolute truths in the age of postmodern uncertainty. And the situation in cognition itself, as it seemed to us, so far corresponded to the stage of “collecting stones”. The task was to identify the connections between the subjects of various disciplines that were previously far apart from each other, in order to initiate a discussion about the specifics and foundations of the fourth (after postnonclassics) stage of cognition, the name of which has not yet been determined, but can be conditionally designated as post-postnonclassics.

Today, geopolitics is rapidly developing in the context of the post-non-classical paradigm, incorporating such areas as synergetics, fractal and complexity approaches, computing, etc.; the methodology of its research is based on an interdisciplinary approach and global evolutionism; the principles of nonlinear reflection are increasingly chosen by methods of analysis. Therefore, one of the goals pursued in the monograph was a systematic analysis of the philosophy of geopolitics, contributing to the disclosure of the current state of this discipline and clarifying the nuances of its application in practice.

 

8. Philosophy of Economics: History and Modernity (2017).

https://www.academia.edu/100088749/Iqtisadiyyatn_felsefesi_tarix_ve_muasirlik

The choice of the topic of the eighth monograph required an explanation due to the apparent remoteness of economics from post-non-classical epistemology. Our research has overturned this illusion. In addition, the unusually wide appeal of scientific circles, practical specialists and, finally, ordinary representatives of society to the multifaceted problems of the economy required an explanation. Globalization, the global crisis and the search for models of economic development of post-Soviet states significantly fueled our interest.

It seems that economic theory, unlike natural science disciplines, having passed the stages of classical and non-classical cognition, came close to mastering post-non-classical ideas and concepts and stopped thinking about future development paths. In this regard, the ongoing global economic and financial crisis, stagnation in the development of economic theories, especially neoliberal ones (by analogy with physics of the early twentieth century) should be considered as factors indicating the beginning of revolutionary changes in the theory and practice of economics. On the approaches to this reform, the problems of the impact on the economy of culture, national (ethnic), religious, mental and many other features of peoples, societies and states involved in the permanent economic process are discussed on a large scale. The socio-cultural dominant of economic thought and experience is almost the central paradigm that has displaced most of the practical problems of economics for a while. Gender, ethical, ecological, biospheric, in general, axiological studies bring a new volumetric (“topological”) understanding to the economy, introducing fundamentally different concepts and concepts into the theory, obviously related to the post–non-classical paradigm.

 

9. Philosophy of History: Retrospective and Perspective (2018).

https://www.academia.edu/100088262/AMEA_tarixin_fəsəfəsi_2018

Globalization as the main factor in the transformation of the human community, and the engine of modern history, models and concepts of the historical process, the so-called “postmodern catastrophe” in its application to history and historiography, the powerful development of “informal”, feminist, gender, oral, “living”, etc. stories, the upcoming future of the world and post-Soviet states, etc. they formed the core of the study of the philosophy of history presented in the ninth monograph.

It seems that it is history that has suffered the most from postmodernism, but at the same time it has absorbed post-non-classical ideas and ideas to the greatest extent, which have brought it to a completely new level of reflection on reality and the “disappeared” past and the unpredictable future that are separated from it, now connected only by axiology – human values – very changeable, impermanent.

 

10. National Philosophy (2019).

https://www.academia.edu/100085986/Milli_Felsefe_2

The tenth monograph completed a series of studies on the problem of national philosophy. A number of questions arose when choosing ways and methodology for the study of historical types of community of people united by a triad: ethnicity, people, nation. For example, what period is the genesis of national philosophy? What should be taken for “ethnic philosophy”, can the ideological and moral-ethical content of myths and epics (dastans) perform this function? What is the content of the concept “philosophy of the people” of Azerbaijan? Does it include purely philosophical works of medieval thinkers in Arabic, or should philosophical poetry be included in it? How did these patterns of reflection influence and continue to influence the national philosophy?

Should we proceed from the principle that the lack of independent statehood of the people is the main obstacle to the formation of national philosophy, since the dominant role in the space of communication is played by the culture, language and values of the colonizing nation?

Note some of the answers covered in the articles.

For each nation, culture – religion – art – literature – philosophy – science constitute a historically interconnected system of consistently complicated types of reflection. Language is the initial chaos from which philosophical reflection emerges over time, the spirit of which is further fueled by ethnic identification and the dominant religion.

Elements of national culture (historical experience, features of the collective psyche, types of world perception and world understanding) eventually become the subject of philosophical reflection (thinking). The formation of identity leads to the formation of a unique worldview and worldview of the nation. This identity is the basis for the choice and implementation of the strategy of the life of the individual and society. The chosen type of identity determines the genesis of national identity, which leads to the consistent formation of national philosophy. The national philosophy depends on the specifics of the national consciousness of society and the individual.

The concept of “national philosophy”, first of all, requires a preliminary analysis of its semantic content. In the phrase “national philosophy”, the first term is the defining one, since it differentiates the universal universal philosophy into single differing types of worldview of individual communities of people consolidated by a single system of values.

Further, without finding out what exactly is meant by the concept of “nation”, it is impossible to answer the question of what constitutes a national philosophy. Firstly, a nation in the practice of scientific, philosophical and sociological research can act as a certain construction that appears in a specific historical period. Secondly, it can be formulated on the basis of a common psychological, confessional and cultural specificity, which gives each nation a unique uniqueness. Thirdly, nation can be understood as a political term implying the consolidation of citizens of individual societies endowed with equal rights within the State, regardless of their ethnic, confessional, cultural, gender and other differences.

It is obvious that the interpreted essence of national philosophy will change depending on the concept of nation chosen for analysis, and therefore, each time referring to it, it is first necessary to clearly define the scope of the upcoming analysis. At the same time, nothing prevents us from applying a synthetic methodology to the study of the nation, combining all the definitions listed above. And in such a synthetic context, it opens up the possibility of an adequate study of national philosophy as one of the highest (if not the highest today) forms of reflection in the course of the formation of an integrative concept of the strategy of lifestyles and survival of the nation in the continuously changing conditions of the external natural and social environment, determining the transformation of both society and its individual personality.

A consistent study of the historical development of the reflection of humanity can be summarized in a number of pralogical, mythical, primordial, ethno-epic, religious, philosophical and scientific types of strategies that determine the lifestyles and survival of consolidated communities of people. It is obvious that today there is an urgent need to form another, mainly synthetic strategy that can express the optimal lifestyle of the nation and its individual representative in modern conditions.

 

***

In 2021, the release of the first (12th) collective monograph “Teaching modern philosophy: methodology, theory and practice” began the second series of publications devoted to the problems of modern philosophy and epistemology.

 

PUBLİSHED BOOKS OF THE SECOND SERİES:

 

1 (11). Ethics, Aesthetics, Axiology: Epistemological problems (2020).

https://www.academia.edu/100088470/Etika_estetika_aksiokogiya

It is quite natural that according to the established results of research on the stated topic and in the conditions of a pandemic that has struck humanity, by the decision of the department and the editorial board, the second series began in 2020 with the eleventh monograph “Ethics, Aesthetics, Axiology: basic epistemological paradigms”.

It is believed that when the threat of a pandemic passes, the world security system will be significantly transformed, the global economy will be transformed, and new interstate relations will develop. In these circumstances, it is important to objectively record the current state of the world and the models of its further development functioning today. But what does “a significant change in the world” fundamentally mean? There are many answers, but the main one, in our opinion, should be associated with a “significant change in a person” – his mentality and behavior. The latter introduces into the circle of problems the upcoming transformation of ethics, morality, the system of axiology in local, regional and global terms. A person endowed with freedom controlled by conscience should be responsible for the moral values professed and applied in practice. The same applies, with minor changes, to societies, states and humanity as a whole, which has reached the limits of the chosen civilizational development. It is necessary to rethink the relationship between what is due and what is, modern concepts of human dignity, the limits of freedom, etc.

A number of circumstances preceding the pandemic (and, perhaps, predestined it), in our opinion, indicates the development of a situation that requires new principles of cognition for its comprehension. It seems to us that we should be talking about post-post-non-classical cognition, the elements of which are being formed before our eyes, generating a transformation of the system of axiology, established ethical and aesthetic principles and values. Some of these problems are considered in the presented monograph.

 

2 (12). Teaching modern philosophy: methodology, theory and practice (2021).

https://www.academia.edu/100853651/Müasir_fəlsəfənin_tədrisi_Metodologiya_nəzəriyyə praktika

It seemed that our established team of domestic and foreign authors, as well as new researchers, most of whom teach philosophy, would willingly share their accumulated experience with readers, present their own practice of teaching modern philosophy, its methodology and methodology in the twelfth monograph. To our great regret, this did not happen. Never before have articles for our publications been collected with such difficulty, never before has the proposed research topics been covered so sparsely. One can only guess at the reasons for such a sad result.

Today, the results and prospects for the development of philosophy are in sharp contradiction with each other. The crisis nature of this contradiction is determined by the fact that for the further development of philosophy it is necessary to abandon some of the fundamental provisions that formed its foundation for a number of centuries. Cognition in the context of globalization and the development of computer technologies has faced qualitatively new realities of the world that cannot be explained in the close framework of traditional philosophy. Today, serious and sometimes revolutionary changes have taken place in almost all these areas of philosophical reflection, bringing the project of creating a new (modern) philosophy to the agenda.

A philosophy textbook should first of all teach the ability to think, discuss, debate, be tolerant, creatively and critically comprehend the problems of today.

Philosophy should be taught in close relationship with other humanities, as part of the system block of public knowledge. Therefore, today there is a real need to create a synthetic, comprehensive textbook containing a certain minimum of humanitarian knowledge, combined in a systematic way, and characterized by its practical orientation.

Philosophy is not so much a science, the abilities of which can be revealed through standard tests, as it is a very specific sphere of spiritual activity.

The psychology of philosophical activity is largely determined by the socio-cultural characteristics of a particular country. Mental factors expressing typical, stable elements of the worldview and psychology of his people have a particularly direct impact on the psychology, philosophical constructions and preferences of a philosopher.

Traditional mentality does not fully contribute to the productive philosophical activity of science-oriented philosophical directions, since they require a number of mental traits that are not inherent in traditional society. But philosophy is not limited to scientific trends. Not being a science, it leaves a wide scope for various ways of cognition and forms of expression of the acquired knowledge.

The specificity of philosophical education lies in deep reflection – the ability of a person to reflect within the framework of personal experience. This is a unique teaching practice aimed at changing the nature of the student’s reflection on individual, general and special problems of an individual and humanity as a whole. Finally, it is the desire to embrace the fullness of knowledge of the present, attempts to reconstruct the past and predict the future in general terms.

As a methodological principle of teaching philosophy, one should choose conceptuality – the philosophy of teaching modern philosophy. As such, the division of the entire history of the development of philosophy into the stages of pre-classical, classical, non-classical and post-non-classical can act with a mandatory indication of the need to build a subsequent stage (post-post-classical), which, in fact, is associated with the search for the foundations of a new philosophy.

 

3 (13). Modern reforms: General philosophical foundations (2022).

https://www.academia.edu/100804489/Müasir_islahatlar_umum_fəlsəfi_əsasları

The logic of the study of the multifaceted problems of modern philosophy purposefully led to the need to analyze the problems of evolution, reform and revolution, presented in the thirteenth monograph.

The history of the development of the post–Soviet states is essentially a series of permanent reforms in almost all spheres of life of their societies, their governance and the economic system, in the designation of which everyone shamefully avoided mentioning the main goal – the construction of a capitalist society. Meanwhile, all post–Soviet countries, even those that directly developed under the direct tutelage of the West (the Baltic states), made progress towards the main goal – the change of the political and economic formation – rather according to the patterns of capitalism of the era of initial capital accumulation, known for its revolutionary and coercive innovations, and not according to the schemes of reformist activity of mature capitalism..

The collapse of the USSR, which coincided with the peak of the popularity of neoliberal ideas in politics and economics, left no other way for the newly formed states to develop, except according to the instructions of the IMF at that time, known for their radicalism and transience.

References to the previous, supposedly positive, experience of Eastern European countries by the standards of the IMF were clearly unconvincing and, moreover, did not take into account the difference in the time spent by states in the system of Soviet socialism, known for its unique economic principles.

Be that as it may, the policy of a radical breakdown of the socialist system and a rapid transition to an “uncontrollable from the outside” market proved to be a failure in all post-Soviet countries. Since the initial reforms were carried out by frontline and radical liberal forces, very soon, according to the sad results of the reforms they undertook, they were replaced in power by representatives of the old, often late communist elite, which happened even in Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. But if in the Eastern European countries, among which the Baltic States should be included, this replacement was a forced interim measure, in the post-Soviet countries this elite (if not by age, then by continuity of ideas) continues to be dominant. For her, the principles of neoliberalism also turned out to be unacceptable, however, most likely for political rather than economic reasons, since freedom was still somehow perceived in the economy, but certainly not in politics. Since the different conceptualization of the implementation of politics and economics in the same country usually does not lead to positive results, the search for original ways of development begins, where the politicization of public life often dominates the economy.

The history of reforms of post-Soviet countries is a very interesting and instructive material for the reconstruction of models of development of transit states, but this topic in the collective monograph is lent by the study of the philosophy and epistemology of reforms, ideas and principles that, according to their creators, form the basis of reform.

***

By the decision of the editorial board, three collective monographs on reforms in the political, social and spiritual spheres of society are planned to be published in 2023. These monographs in two volumes are planned as a continuation of the general work on the topic “Philosophy of modern reforms”. The conditional title of the second volume devoted to modern reforms: “The philosophy of political reforms: The development of statehood and the political life of society.” The deadline for accepting articles is May 2023.

The third volume: “The philosophy of reforms in the social life of society.”

The fourth volume: “The philosophy of reforms of the spiritual and cultural life of society.”

The third and fourth volumes are supposed to be published in one book.

The deadline for accepting articles is November 2023.
