Philosophy and the Current: Note on Event

Article

Abstract

[In Russian]

The focus of this small philosophical essay is on the question
whether it is possible to call December, 19 an event? Describing
structural (ontologic) characteristics of an event, the author underlines
that no tectonic shift (which would be the main indicator
of the proper event) occurred in national consciousness. In the
essay the author also raises the question of the necessity of transcendent
– along with empirical – look at the reality that would
allow to reveal aprioristic conditions of socio-political life, including
its elements such as power, opposition, democracy.
