How to Assess Students Knowledge in the Age of AI
A researcher at HSE University has proposed a flowchart to help lecturers decide how to assess students who use artificial intelligence. It shows where the use of AI should be restricted and where it can be incorporated into the learning process. The article has been published in IT Professional.

‘Balkan Hospitality Opens Doors: Studying Dialects on the Verge of Extinction
You cannot study spoken dialects from books. Instead, you need to go to a village, seek out its elders, and earn the trust of local residents before you can record hours of spontaneous stories. This is how Natalia Muravleva, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Humanities, conducts her research. Her internship in Serbia continued her long-standing study of dialects spoken by Macedonian settlers. In this interview, she discusses how diaspora cultural centres help researchers reach informants, why native speakers need to be interviewed only in their own language (otherwise, as she puts it, they may 'break'), and how a single field season helped her finalise her monograph. She also shares warm memories of autumn in Belgrade and of colleagues with whom grammar can be discussed in three languages at once.

Scientists Train Neural Network to Generate Process Plans from 3D Models
Researchers at the HSE FCS AI and Digital Science Institute have developed CAD2TechSpec, a framework that converts 3D models of mechanical parts into machining process plans—step-by-step instructions for machine tools. The solution aims to reduce the time required for the design and preparation of technical process documentation in mechanical engineering, aircraft manufacturing, and other high-tech industries. The study findings have been published in PeerJ Computer Science.

The Metaphysician Who Didn’t Know That He Was Dreaming: Kant and the Spirit-Seers

P. 867–874.
Heßbrüggen-Walter, Stefan

The chapter discusses Kant's Dreams of a Spirit-Seer. It defends the thesis that in this work Kant discusses not one, but three different versions of a ‘metaphysics of spirits’. All of them are mutually incompatible. I propose to weaken the impact of these problems by identifying a second target of Kant’s scorn in Dreams – a metaphysical position Kant could be sympathetic with as far as its
fundamental intentions are concerned, but that draws his ire because of an equally comprehensive failure in the realisation of these intentions. This target is Georg Friedrich Meier who published the second edition of his metaphysics in 1765, one year before the publication of Dreams.

П.Ф. Стросон - один из самый известных кантианских философов и интерпретаторов «Критики чистого разума». Предлагается реконструкция этой интерпретации, а также анализируется ее история и место в рамках стросоновской философии. Я показываю, какими образом Стросон читает текст, каким стратегиям интерпретации следует и с какими проблемами сталкивается. В книгах «Индивиды» и «Границы смысла» Стросон ассоциирует себя с ...

Что значит для математики давать реальные определения своих понятий?

В этом выступлении я приведу реконструкцию теории определения Канта. Кант утверждает, что математика дает реальные определения. Это означает, что эти определения показывают возможность вещи. Я предоставлю анализ понятия Канта о возможности и продемонстрирую значение теории величин Канта для его теории математических определений. ...

The aim is to develop some new alternatives for a phenomenalistic reading of Kant. Although the concern is ultimately with empirically real objects, I begin with a reading of the Aesthetic and the notion of appearances as at least possibly of empirically real objects. Employing Husserlian terminology, I take these to be the “noematic correlate” ...

Consciousness as Inner Sensation: Crusius and Kant
Indregard Jonas Jervell, ERGO-AN OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF PHILOSOPHY 2018 Vol. 5 No. 7 P. 173–201
What is it that makes a mental state conscious? Recent commentators have proposed that for Kant, consciousness results from differentiation: A mental state is conscious insofar as it is distinguished, by means of our conceptual capacities, from other states or things. I argue instead that Kant’s conception of state consciousness is sensory: A mental state ...

Self-Affection and Pure Intuition in Kant
Indregard Jonas Jervell, Australasian Journal of Philosophy 2017 Vol. 95 No. 4 P. 627–643
Are the pure intuitions of space and time, for Kant, dependent upon the understanding's activity? This paper defends the recently popular Self-Affection Thesis (SAT): namely, that the pure intuitions require an activity of self-affection—an influence of the understanding on the inner sense. Two systematic objections to this thesis have been raised: The Independence objection claims ...

Kant's Causal Power Argument against Empirical Affection
Indregard Jonas Jervell, Kantian Review 2017 Vol. 22 No. 1 P. 27–51
A well-known trilemma faces the interpretation of Kant’s theory of affection, namely whether the objects that affect us are empirical, noumenal or both. I argue that, according to Kant, the things that affect us and cause representations in us are not empirical objects. I articulate what I call the Causal Power Argument, according to which ...
