HSE Scientists Train Neural Network to 'Hear' Faults in Electric Motors
Researchers at the AI and Digital Science Institute of the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new method—the Signature-Guided Data Augmentation (SGDA) framework—that achieves 99% accuracy in motor fault detection and 86% accuracy in fault classification. The application of this approach can reduce industrial equipment repair costs, minimise downtime, and improve production safety. The study results have been published in Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence.

Is It Possible to Predict a Citys Life Based on the Shape of Its Neighbourhoods?
Is it possible to predict, based on the configuration of streets and buildings, where a café will open or where traffic congestion will occur? Participants in the Spatial Analysis and Modelling of Urban Processes research and study group use open data and machine learning to identify universal patterns. Alexander Sheludkov and Eduard Somov discuss the purpose of comparing cities, the need for new forms of urban statistics, and how open data is transforming approaches to urban studies.

Forms of Life and Social Critique: Pasolini after Wittgenstein

P. 25–27.
Bronzo S.

Drawing on Pier Paolo Pasolini and his appropriation of Wittgenstein, this paper argues for the possibility of a radical sort of social critique based on the notion of form of life: the members of a society may not only have an objectionable form of life, but also lacka form of life altogether.

This paper is dedicated to the concept of philosophical analysis in work of three classics of analytic philosophy: Ryle, Strawson and Wittgenstein. These philosophers, as many in their generations, believe that philosophical analysis does not bring forth new knowledge, it simply brings clarity into our ways of speaking. However, despite the main stream of analytical ...

Прагматический реализм в философии языка Л. Витгенштейна
Pavlov I., В кн.: Философия. Язык. КультураВып. 6.: СПб.: Алетейя, 2015. С. 266–278.
This paper deals with L. Wittgenstein's philosophy of language. Author examines the legitimacy of Wittgenstein‘s ideas for contemporary pragmatism and references for his philosophy in H. Putnam's late works. The seeming contradictions between the theories of two philosophers are demonstrated. Nevertheless, it is argued that Wittgenstein's epistemology and ontology has intellectual relevance for Putnam's project. ...

This article is a response to the thesis of K.A. Rodin about the exclusively conceptual influence of Wittgenstein and the problem of following the rule on social research. The authors argue that along with the methodological line traced by K.A. Rodin, one should single out a purely scientific line of influence of Wittgenstein's ideas, the ...

A Sociological Perspective on Meaningful Work: Community versus Autonomy

In this article, I present a sociological approach to the problem of meaningful work that dwells on its broad social and cultural sources, as opposed to the focus on subjective and organizational factors currently prevailing in the field. Specifically, I consider two sociological perspectives, those of community and autonomy, as important conceptual tools for understanding ...

Приручение абсолютного идеализма
Rogonyan G., Логос 2023 Т. 33 № 2 С. 143–166
The article offers a general overview of how John McDowell tries to «domesticate» Hegelian philosophy by fitting it into the context of contemporary Anglo-American philosophy. One of the ways of such «domestication» (or even appropriation) of Hegel's philosophy is to bring the «identity thesis» (identity of the of the subject and object of thought) into ...

Онтология сущностей и онтология фактов: возвращаясь к сравнению
Smirnov M., Вестник Российского университета дружбы народов. Серия: Философия 2023 Т. 27 № 2 С. 345–360
The purpose of this work is to characterize clearly the early Wittgenstein’s position in context of the contemporary discussions between the adherers of classical ontology, based on the notion of substance, and its detractors. The Aristotle’s ousiology is usually regarded as a locus classicus of substantial ontology. A noticeable tendency in the contemporary philosophy is the rejective ...

Wittgenstein on Sense and Grammar
Bronzo S., Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2022.
The distinction between sense and nonsense is central to Wittgenstein’s philosophy. It is at the basis of his conception of philosophy as a struggle against illusions of sense generated by misunderstandings of the logic of our language. Moreover, it informs the notions of “grammar” (in the later work) and “logical syntax” (in the early work), whose investigation serves to ...

On the Impossibility of the Phenomenological Language in the Context of Wittgenstein’s Manuscripts from 1929-1933
Chernavin G., Horizon, Fenomenologiceskie Issledovania 2021 Vol. 10 No. 1 P. 258–267
The article treats Ludwig Wittgenstein’s manuscripts and typescripts where he formulates the problem of impossibility of “phenomenological language” defined by him as the “description of immediate sensual perception without any hypothetical supplementation.” One may find this phase of his philosophy (1929-1933) a bit paradoxical because the philosopher claims this phase, from the very beginning, to ...

Исчезающий идеализм Витгенштейна
Rogonyan G., HORIZON. Феноменологические исследования 2022 Т. 11 № 1 С. 229–247
The article examines some well-known attempts to consider Ludwig Wittgenstein's “Philosophical Investigations” in the context of transcendental idealism. The main purpose of these attempts is to protect Wittgenstein's later philosophy from the relativistic interpretation of such concepts as “language games” and “forms of life”. Thus, Bernard Williams, noting the ambiguity of the pronoun “we” in ...

The article examines the arguments of John McDowell in favor of quietism as the main methodological attitude of Ludwig Wittgenstein. McDowell shows that we cannot ignore Wittgenstein's quietism without compromising our understanding of his ideas about linguistic meaning and rule-following. The main obstacle to understanding the role of quietism in Wittgenstein's philosophy is the opposition ...

The article is aimed at revealing the key features of epistemological paradigms, which change each other in the process of development of Western European thinking. The need for such a study is due to the fact that the distinction ‘classic – non-classic’, which is accepted in Russian philosophical literature, has a formal character. The non-classical ...

The report analyzes the conditions for the possibility of philosophy as permissible language game. It is shown that criticism of the late Wittgenstein extends primarily to attempts to combine metaphysics and the so-called common sense. It is hypothesized that Wittgenstein's criticism does not affect metaphysical contexts proper, philosophy can develop its own a language that ...

Критические концепции государства и их значение для российской юриспруденции: введение в проблематику

“State” is usually recognized as a fundamental political concept in legal consciousness. It is often “excluded” from history: ancient and modern political concepts are often united under the one umbrella term without underlining the crucial discrepancy between them. This paper emphasizes the distinction between “universalist” and “critical” approaches to “State”. “Universalists” are trying to detect ...

Truth-bearers in Frege and the Tractatus
Bronzo S., Analiza i Egzystencja 2019 Vol. 47 P. 31–53
This paper argues that the Tractatus breaks deeply with Frege’s account of truth- bearers as mind-independent entities, and is closer to the act-theoretic approach recently defended, for example, by Scott Soames and Peter Hanks. For the Tractatus, the primary truth-bearers are facts-in-use, which essentially involve acts, as well as facts functioning as instruments of representation. The Tractarian account, it is further argued, can vindicate three platitudes ...

In his “Essay on Absurd” Albert Camus writes that the only important philosophical question is whether life is worth living. There is a well-known alternative behind this question: either our life has a fundamental meaning, or life is basically absurd. In other terms, God either exists or does not exist. Since the time of Socrates, philosophical thought has ...
